    Why Liberalism Failed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
    Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded? Of the three dominant ideologies of the 20th century - fascism, communism, and liberalism - only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: It trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history. Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure. ungekürzt.

    The Mutatus Procedure, Part One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1392min
    In this taut, psychological thriller, the protagonist, Judtson Kent is a hard-nosed skeptic. In fact, he has made millions writing books debunking the myths and ridiculing the proponents of everything from Illuminati conspiracies to alien abductions. Then one day he is confronted with evidence…undeniable proof even he cannot refute. His world and belief system turned upside down, Judtson suddenly finds that his mind is slowly, inexorably losing control. As Saylor Costello, a neurologist and Judtson's lifelong friend, battles the inexplicable mental transmutation, he discovers that several others around the world…others who are all on the verge of earthshaking discoveries…are suffering from the same symptoms. In John David Krygelski's fourth novel - The Mutatus Procedure (Part One) - the reader will be pulled into a world where nothing is as it seems, even consciousness itself. ungekürzt.

    Fascination: Memoirs
    A memoir of gay life in 1970s Long Island by one of the leading proponents of the New Narrative movement. Fascination brings together an early memoir, Bedrooms Have Windows (1989) and a previously unpublished prose work, Bachelors Get Lonely, by the poet and novelist Kevin Killian, one of the founding members of the New Narrative movement. The two together depict the author's early years struggling to become a writer in the sexed-up, boozy, drug-ridden world of Long Island's North Shore in the 1970s. It concludes with Triangles in the Sand, a new, previously unpublished memoir of Killian's brief affair in the 1970s with the composer Arthur Russell. Fascination offers a moving and often funny view of the loneliness and desire that defined gay life of that era—a time in which Richard Nixon's resignation intersected with David Bowie's Diamond Dogs—from one of the leading voices in experimental gay writing of the past thirty years. "Move along the velvet rope,” Killian writes in Bedrooms Have Windows, "run your shaky fingers past the lacquered Keith Haring graffito: 'You did not live in our time! Be Sorry!'”

    Social Ethics in the Making: Interpreting an American Tradition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2161min
    In the early 1880s, proponents of what came to be called ‘the social gospel’ founded what is now known as social ethics.

Charts the story of social ethics - the idea that Christianity has a social-ethical mission to transform society - from its roots in the nineteenth century through to the present day. Discusses and analyses how different traditions of social ethics evolved in the realms of the academy, church, and general public. Looks at the wide variety of individuals who have been prominent exponents of social ethics from academics and self-styled ‘public intellectuals’ through to pastors and activists. Set to become the definitive reference guide to the history and development of social ethics. Recipient of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2009 award. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Ten Commandments of Progressive Christianity: Cruciform Quick, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    A cautionary look at 10 dangerously appealing half-truths.Not long ago, I came across a list of 10 principles set forth by proponents of progressive Christianity. They are, in effect, a new 10 commandments. What’s striking is that they are far less about God revealing his desires and far more about man expressing his own - less Moses, more Oprah.Yet each of these commandments is partially true. Indeed, that is what makes this list, and progressive Christianity as a whole, so challenging. Half-truths can sound quite appealing until you recognize their foundations and implications. In this booklet, I diagnose and critique each of these tenets and offer a brief biblical and theological response.Liberal Christianity never really goes away. If the church is going to hold fast to “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude Three), we must, in every era, be able to distinguish the true faith from the false. ungekürzt.

    The Doomsday Machine: The High Price of Nuclear Energy, the World's Most Dangerous Fuel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min
    Today, there are over 100 nuclear reactors operating in our backyards, from Indian Point in New York to Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels, and due to rising energy consumption and the looming threat of global warming, they are pushing for an even greater investment. Here, energy economist Andrew McKillop and social scientist Martin Cohen argue that the nuclear power dream being sold to us is pure fantasy. Debunking the multilayered myth that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe, they demonstrate how landscapes are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake to fuel the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians rarely discuss the true costs of nuclear power plants - from the subsidies that build the infrastructure to the unspoken guarantee that the public will pick up the cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion dollars. ungekürzt.

The Meaning of Truth constitutes a sequel to the previous book, James produced earlier in 1907, named Pragmatism which was based on the lectures given in Boston and at Columbia. An ingenious approach to the movement which James represents, a bright clarification of all the misunderstandings and an acute review on the lectures delivered by anti-pragmatists who doubted and speculated falsely over the meaning of truth.
