    Charley has escaped from Meritropolis.... But in his quest to take down the system that has taken his brother from him, he must go through Meritorium, a city where gladiatorial games of life-or-death combat are waged between High Scores and Low Scores, man and beast. Charley and Sandy must face man-eating plants, religious zealots, slave traders, and the ever-present mutant animal combinations that roam a dystopian Coliseum, presided over by Emperor Titus, the one man standing between Charley and the answers he seeks. Man is not an animal, but if they are to make it through Meritorium, will they even be able to tell the difference? The lines between man and beast, friend and foe, will blur in Meritorium, the riveting sequel to the best-selling Meritropolis. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mikael Naramore.

    Citizen Clem: A Biography of Attlee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1605min
    Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography. Book of the year: The Times, The Sunday Times, New Statesman, The Spectator, Evening Standard. Clement Attlee was the Labour prime minister who presided over Britain's radical postwar government, delivering the end of the empire in India, the foundation of the NHS and Britain's place in NATO. Called 'a sheep in sheep's clothing', his reputation has long been that of an unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill. But as John Bew's revelatory biography shows, Attlee was not only a hero of his age but an emblem of it, and his life tells the story of how Britain changed over the 20th century. Here, Bew pierces Attlee's reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britain's greatest - and least appreciated - peacetime prime minister. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Argentinidad (n+1 singles) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
    Nstor and Cristina Kirchner have presided in a marital tag-team tango over the executive branch of one of the largest countries in the Americas. In this single, from n+1 magazine, Issue 11: "Dual Power", n+1 founding editor and acclaimed novelist Benjamin Kunkel looks at the Kirchner's relationship to the radical leftist Peronist Youth in the university town of La Plata, just outside Buenos Aires. Three decades after their days as radical students, both Nstor and Cristina Kirchner have served as the president of Argentina. While they have hardly governed as the leftists they appeared to be back in La Plata, the legacy of their militant youth shines through in what may be the two central features of their tenure: the rejection of neoliberalism and the placement of a dictatorship at the center of national memory. ungekürzt.

    The Presidency: The Life and Times of George Washington, Hörbuch, Digital, 72min
    (Part 3) Over the next four years, George Washington and many other Americans saw that this new country needed central government to keep peace at home - and gain respect abroad. In Philadelphia, 55 men argued out a strong, yet flexible U.S. constitution - a set of laws by which people could govern themselves. It wasn't perfect, but it seemed to George - who presided over the continental Congress - "A little short of a miracle". The federal government would have the legislative branch - headed by the Congress - to make the laws; the judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court - to explain the laws - and the Executive branch, headed by a president, to enforce them.It didn't take much arguing to decide who that should be. In 1789, George Washington was overwhelmingly elected the first president of the United States. Language: English. Narrator: Frances H. Kelley.

    An offbeat, funny and heartwarming romantic novel from the fabulous King of Strictly, Craig Revel Horwood.Set against the colourful boho backdrop of London's Camden in the 1990s, Craig Revel Horwood's first novel, Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street, tells the story of an unlikely family of friends who each rent a room in a ramshackle six-bedroom, four-storey townhouse.

    Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream: The Most Revealing Portrait of a President and Presidential Power Ever Written , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1021min
    Doris Kearns Goodwin's classic life of Lyndon Johnson, who presided over the Great Society, the Vietnam War, and other defining moments in the tumultuous 1960s, is a monument in political biography. From the moment the author, then a young woman from Harvard, first encountered President Johnson at a White House dance in the spring of 1967, she became fascinated by the man - his character, his enormous energy and drive, and his manner of wielding these gifts in an endless pursuit of power. As a member of his White House staff, she soon became his personal confidante, and in the years before his death he revealed himself to her as he did to no other. Widely praised and enormously popular, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream is a work of biography like few others. With uncanny insight and a richly engrossing style, the author renders LBJ in all his vibrant, conflicted humanity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabra Zackman, Jim Frangione.
