Title: [German] - Wir können mehr sein - Die Macht der Vielfalt (Ungekürzt) Author: Aminata Touré Narrator: Aminata Touré Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: August 19, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Was in diesem Land anders werden muss. Aminata Touré verbrachte die ersten Jahre ihres Lebens in einer Unterkunft für Geflüchtete, heute ist sie Vizepräsidentin eines Landtags. Dass sich dieser Satz wie eine Heldinnengeschichte liest, zeigt, dass wir noch nicht in einer offenen und gleichberechtigten Gesellschaft leben. Es ist höchste Zeit, das zu ändern. Aminata Touré wurde 1992 geboren, ihre Eltern waren kurz zuvor aus Mali geflohen. Im selben Jahr brannten in Deutschland Häuser, in denen 'Menschen wie sie' lebten. Ihr Buch handelt vom Aufwachsen als Schwarze Frau in einer Gesellschaft, die immer noch Mühe hat, ihren eigenen Rassismus zu erkennen, aber auch vom Weg in die Politik, von Erfolgen und vom Scheitern - nicht um zu sagen, dass es schwer oder einfach war, sondern um zu sagen, was in diesem Land anders werden muss. Politik kann mehr sein als Machterhalt und die Verwaltung der Zustände. Ein Aufruf an junge und diverse Menschen, in die Institutionen zu gehen, um die Politik und unser Zusammenleben zu verändern.

Author: Paul Kirchhof Narrator: Hubertus Gertzen Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 13, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der Staat ist für den Menschen da und nicht der Mensch für den Staat! Paul Kirchhof, Hoffnungsträger und Reizfigur des Bundestagswahlkampfes 2005, fordert die fundamentale Erneuerung unseres Landes aus unmittelbarer Vernunft heraus. Der deutsche Staat, so Kirchhofs Diagnose, ist zu einer Hydra, einem vielköpfigen Ungeheuer verkommen: Mit dem Bild der Hydra, der immer wieder neue Köpfe nachwachsen, beschreibt er die Verbiegung des Rechts, der Vernunft, die Entgrenzung des Staates und seine ausufernden Eingriffe in das Leben der Bürger. Der Verbände- und Lobbyisten-Staat, die Gesundheits- und Familienpolitik, die Macht des Geldes und das aus dem Ruder gelaufene Steuerrecht und die gesamte Schuldenmacherei bilden das Zentrum der Analyse des scharfsichtigen Wissenschaftlers, der schließlich eine Strategie bietet, mit der Politik und Wirtschaft wieder auf ihre Verantwortung für das Wohl des Ganzen verpflichtet werden können.

Title: [Spanish] - 17 minutos: Entrevista con el dictador Author: Jorge Ramos Narrator: Raúl Arrieta, Jorge Ramos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 34 minutes Release date: August 12, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: El relato de cómo Jorge Ramos confrontó y desenmascaró a Nicolás Maduro ante las cámaras, y todo lo que ocurrió antes y después de la entrevista. El 25 de febrero de 2019, apoyado por su equipo de Univision, Jorge Ramos realizó una entrevista —preparada minuciosamente— a Nicolás Maduro. Después de un cuarto de hora, y luego de evidenciar su disgusto por el severo cuestionamiento de quien se ha caracterizado por confrontar a los poderosos, el entrevistado terminó el encuentro abruptamente. Esto daría pie a un tremendo acto de censura que implicó la confiscación del equipo de grabación, la detención del periodista y sus colegas, y finalmente su deportación. Con un estilo directo y crítico, Jorge Ramos pone en contexto lo ocurrido en el Palacio de Miraflores de Caracas, cuenta el antes y el después e incluye todas las voces que lo hicieron posible. Detalla lo que tuvo que pasar para que él y sus compañeros no fueran encarcelados, y cómo (increíblemente) recuperaron y publicaron, tiempo después, la entrevista que les habían robado. Se trata de una experiencia periodística que tuvo repercusiones mundiales y que terminó por evidenciar los rasgos dictatoriales de Maduro y la falta de libertad y democracia en Venezuela.

Narrator: Ritu Goswamy Esq. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 49 minutes Release date: August 9, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Be the lawyer you want to be, not the one you were told to be. Remember why you wanted to become a lawyer? You wanted to make a difference, help others, and create positive change both inside and outside the profession. You still do. But the legal profession, by design, puts us in a box, restricting our creativity, and blunting connection. In fact, we’re conditioned to disengage from others and from ourselves to be better at our jobs. We put on a lawyer mask and become imposters. Today’s leaders cannot be held back by these limiting restraints. Lawyers are made to lead. We strive to be good counselors, good advocates, and even good adversaries. Good leadership, however, is ultimately about showing up as yourself. And to do that, we need to be free to be ourselves without having to leave the profession. We can be lawyers and be authentic. In The Lawyer Leader, author Ritu Goswamy, Esq., invites you to step into a more authentic, more powerful version of yourself, and learn how going deeper within can help you guide your colleagues and create change in the legal profession by going deeper within. Whether you’ve read Ritu Goswamy’s The New Billable Hour and The Holistic Lawyer or not, this book is for you: a lawyer ready to step up and lead. Join those of us in the profession actively guiding our colleagues, clients, and society to a new era. “Well-written, concise, evocative, and heartening, this book will help any lawyer (and law student) connect to the lawyer leader within.” – Rodney O. Fong, Legal Educator

(REDACTED) Author: Thomas Speciale Narrator: Thomas Speciale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 8, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Many Americans today have lost faith in the U.S. government and see specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as threatening them as opposed to protecting them. Many Americans, the author included, are deeply concerned about potential government overreach and threats to our liberty and freedom, specifically regarding the 1st and 2nd Amendments of the constitution. Unlike the vast majority of those who have lost faith in the government, the author has not, and this report was compiled to help frame the correct conversation, one not driven by political rhetoric or motivated by bureaucratic distortions. The author believes, if we can have this conversation, we can avoid disaster. This Critical Report was compiled from public statements made by government officials, official government documents, outside organizations who are trusted authoritative voices as well as publicly available information, including some leaked information specific to the issue of domestic terrorism and extremism. This report was approved for release by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence with redactions. The views expressed are the author’s own and do not represent those of the US Government.

Title: [Spanish] - Para combatir esta era: Consideraciones urgentes sobre el fascismo y el humanismo Author: Rob Riemen Narrator: Gerardo Vázquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 5, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Combinando un conocimiento profundo de historia y filosofía con la sensibilidad literaria de un elocuente humanista, Rob Riemen identifica la ruta del eterno retorno del fascismo. Gracias a su lucidez y valentía, Albert Camus y Thomas Mann pudieron entender algo que hoy en día muchos politólogos son incapaces de admitir. En 1947, ambos lanzaron una advertencia: la guerra ha terminado, pero el fascismo no fue vencido. Aunque se demore algunas décadas, volverá otra vez. No lo reconoceremos por sus ideas, pues el fascismo no tiene ninguna, pero sí por sus acciones y su política. Una política del resentimiento, el miedo y la ira. Ése es el esqueleto fascista: incitación a la violencia, un vulgar materialismo, un nacionalismo asfixiante, xenofobia, la necesidad de señalar chivos expiatorios, la banalización del arte, el odio por la vida intelectual y una feroz resistencia al cosmopolitismo. En estos días se presenta en el escenario mundial disfrazado de populismo, haciendo falsas promesas de libertad y grandeza. ¿Cómo podemos detenerlo? ¿Cómo podemos salir de la crisis de civilización de nuestra era, de la cual el fascismo es sólo una manifestación? La respuesta, nos dice el autor de estas consideraciones tempestivas, está en el regreso de la nobleza de espíritu, en la recuperación de los valores universales de verdad, justicia, belleza, compasión y sabiduría. Sólo en estos pilares puede apoyarse una sociedad verdaderamente democrática. Otros autores han opinado: 'Rob Riemen tiene un hondo compromiso. Con los valores morales e intelectuales de nuestra frágil comunidad. Con esa elusiva pero vital 'decencia del pensamiento'. Es un humanista en el sentido clásico y un agudo observador de los cambios tecnológicos que operan en nuestros debates políticos. Leerlo es participar en un diálogo desafiante. Es experimentar tanto angustia como esperanza -quizás estas dos son, de alguna forma misteriosa, lo mismo.' -George Steiner 'Para combatir esta era, de Rob Riemen, es una meditación audaz, valiente, original y provocadora. Desafía muchos de los diagnósticos al uso sobre la presente crisis de la civilización occidental, ofreciendo perspectivas sorprendentes e inesperadas. Rob Riemen nos invita a no dar la espalda a los mejores aspectos de la civilización Europea, sin convertirnos en meros museógrafos de nuestro patrimonio cultural, sino, por el contrario, en herederos activos de esta tradición de humanismo, tolerancia y creatividad. Este libro ha sido escrito con pasión, con entusiasmo y con verdadera devoción.' -Amos Oz 'En este breve pero poderoso libro, Para combatir esta era, Rob Riemen argumenta que la crisis política que se desarrolla a nuestro alrededor es en realidad una crisis de la civilización [...]. Éste es un libro para aquellas personas que quieren que Occidente recupere su autoridad moral y que quieren pensar seriamente en cómo ayudar a conseguirlo.' -Anne Applebaum
