    The Gentleman's Madness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
    Two men imprisoned. One in body, the other in mind. Caught in the throes of passion with another man, scholar John Gilliam agrees to asylum treatment for perversion at the request of his worried parents. He intends to fake a cure then return to his normal life, but an attack on his person leads him down a darker path. Transferred to another facility, he is denied any devices by which he might harm himself - even books and writing materials. Half crazed by isolation John finds an unexpected friend in his caretaker, Sam Tully. Tully feels sorry for the patient everyone calls “the professor”, but he must keep his head down and perform his duties. His family relies on his earnings. He refuses to acknowledge the stirring of excitement inside him every time he is in Gilliam’s presence. Thirst for the knowledge the scholar offers wars with the carnal hunger he must deny. In John’s small cell, learning and mental freedom blossom as the two forge a friendship. Forbidden attraction evolves into physical action. But in the asylum there is more than curative treatment taking place. The pair uncover a terrible secret and must fight not only for their freedom but their very lives. A Rainbow Award winner. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark James.

    The Great Stain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1488min
    Comprising personal accounts from an intensely consequential chapter in human history, the transatlantic slave trade, The Great Stain takes listeners from the depths of suffering to the heights of human dignity. There have been numerous books about the why, when, and where of slavery in America, but there is a dearth of material exposing what slavery was actually like. In The Great Stain, researcher Noel Rae frames firsthand accounts from former slaves, slave owners, and even African slavers. Rae exposes the commerce and culture of slavery, not only from an economic or moral standpoint but also through multitudinous perspectives within it: a young girl is beaten after being accused of stealing a piece of candy, a slave ship's surgeon recounts brutal treatment and squalid conditions, an Englishman visiting Haiti observes as violent uprisings break out. So many viewpoints ensure that no historical blind spot will leave the picture of an era incomplete. The Great Stain weaves a tapestry of good and evil, of greed and kindness, and of a civilization as it develops, evolves, and continues to move toward the future. More than that, the listener will encounter the complex economic underpinning of an entire society based on the exploitation of the cheapest labor. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    If On A Winter'S Night
    Sting, der ganz große Gentleman der Rockmusik, schlägt leisere Töne an. Sein neues Album „If on a Winters Night“ ist eine eine "akustische Meditation" über die verschiedenen Aspekte des Winters. In der Folge seines internationalen Erfolges als Solokünstler und der spektakulären Re-Union Tour von THE POLICE spannt STING’S neues Album If on a Winter's Night… den Bogen quer durch die Jahreszeit der tiefen Besinnung und Religiosität, der unheimlichen Stille schneebedeckter Landschaften, einsamer Tage der Selbstreflexion und - für manche- der inneren Wiedergeburt. Beginnend mit traditioneller Musik von den britischen Inseln schlagen STING und seinen Gäste (u.a. Daniel Hope, Dominic Miller, Chris Botti) den Hörer mit einer Sammlung von Songs, Weihnachts- und Wiegenliedern durch die Jahrhunderte in ihren Bann - wie etwa The Snow it Melts the Soonest (traditionelle Ballade aus Newcastle), Soalin (traditioneller englischer "Bittgesang"), Gabriel´s Message (ein Weihnachtslied aus dem 14. Jahrhundert), ebenso wie mit zwei eigenen Kompositionen von STING – Lullaby for an Anxious Child und The Hounds of Winter. Gleichfalls auf diesem Album zu finden ist Hurdy Gurdy Man – eine musikalische Adaptation und englische Übersetzung (von Sting) von Der Leiermann aus Schuberts klassischem Winter-Liederzyklus Winterreise.Inspired by Sting's favourite season, "If On a Winter's Night ..." takes traditional music from the British Isles as its starting point and evolves into a compelling and personal journey with music spanning over five centuries (including two of Sting's own songs). An evocative collection of lullabies, carols and songs, Sting's album celebrates the many facets of winter - before the snows melt and the cycle of the seasons begin once more.

    The Politics of Rights of Nature (eBook, ePUB)
    How Rights of Nature laws are transforming governance to address environmental crises through more ecologically sustainable approaches to development. With the window of opportunity to take meaningful action on climate change and mass extinction closing, a growing number of communities, organizations, and governments around the world are calling for Rights of Nature (RoN) to be legally recognized. RoN advocates are creating new laws that recognize natural ecosystems as subjects with inherent rights, and appealing to courts to protect those rights. Going beyond theory and philosophy, in this book Craig Kauffman and Pamela Martin analyze the politics behind the creation and implementation of these laws, as well as the effects of the laws on the politics of sustainable development. Kauffman and Martin tell how community activists, lawyers, judges, scientists, government leaders, and ordinary citizens have formed a global movement to advance RoN as a solution to the environmental crises facing the planet. They compare successful and failed attempts to implement RoN at various levels of government in six countries--Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, India, New Zealand, and the United States--asking why these laws emerged and proliferated in the mid-2000s, why they construct RoN differently, and why some efforts at implementation are more successful than others. As they analyze efforts to use RoN as a tool for constructing more ecocentric sustainable development, capable of achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goal of living "in harmony with Nature," Kauffman and Martin show how RoN jurisprudence evolves through experimentation and reshapes the debates surrounding sustainable development.
