    The Audacity of Inez Burns , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 788min
    Inez Burns was adored by the desperate women who sought her out - and loathed by the power-hungry men who plotted to destroy her. During a time when women risked their lives with predatory practitioners lurking in back alleys, Inez and her team of women, clad in crisp, white nurse's uniforms, worked night and day in her elegantly appointed clinic, performing 50,000 of the safest, most hygienic abortions available during a time when even the richest wives, Hollywood stars, and mistresses had few options when they found themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. In The Audacity of Inez Burns, Stephen G. Bloom reveals a jagged slice of lost American history. From Inez's riveting tale of glamour and tragedy, he has created a brilliant, compulsively listenable portrait of an unforgettable woman during a moment when America's pendulum swung from compassion to criminality by punishing those who permitted women to control their own destinies. ungekürzt.

    A Lot Like Eve: Fashion, Faith and Fig-Leaves: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Joanna Jepson was born with a facial deformity that led to her being mercilessly bullied through childhood and adolescence while a strict evangelical upbringing imposed further challenges. Reconstructive facial surgery and a religious meltdown left her unrecognizable and disorientated and triggered a search for identity and belonging. After ordination, a spell in the cloisters of a Welsh convent, and a burst of headline-hitting fame in relation to the cleft-palate abortions in the news a few years ago, Joanna became the first chaplain to the London College of Fashion, with unique opportunities to explore the world of self-image. Not just an autobiography, A Lot Like Eve exposes the cultural idols and preoccupations that hook so many women into trying to prove that they are worthwhile in the way that the world expects. Like the first (metaphorical) woman, Eve, we too are still trying to pretend that we are wonderfully adorned by our own kind of fig leaves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Teal.

    The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min
    America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gays; rather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy. Many Americans have forgotten the evils of socialism and the predations of the American Great Society's welfare-state programs. But, as the American Enterprise Institute's president, Arthur C. Brooks, reveals in The Battle, the forces for social democracy have returned with a vengeance, expanding the power of the state to a breathtaking degree. The Battle offers a plan of action for the defense of free enterprise; it is at once a call to arms and a crucial redefinition of the political and moral gulf that divides Right and Left in America today. The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur C. Brooks.

    Frog , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
    Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Frog by Mo Yan, read by Graeme Malcolm. Frog is a richly complex new novel about China's one-child policy by Mo Yan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2012. Gugu is beautiful, charismatic and of an unimpeachable political background. A respected midwife, she combines modern medical knowledge with a healer's touch to save the lives of village women and their babies. After a disastrous love affair with a defector leaves Gugu reeling, she throws herself zealously into enforcing China's draconian new family-planning policy by any means necessary, be it forced sterilizations or late-term abortions. Tragically, her blind devotion to the party line spares no one, not her own family, not even herself. Once beloved, Gugu becomes the living incarnation of a reviled social policy violently at odds with deeply rooted social values. Spanning the prerevolutionary era and the country's modern-day consumer society, Mo Yan's taut and engrossing examination of Chinese life will be heard for generations to come.

    The Bare Essentials of Zika Virus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Are you afraid of Zika virus? Do you still think it is spread primarily by mosquitoes? Are you aware that other animals harbor Zika? Did you know you can infect others months or even years later? Using current research and data on the outbreaks of the 1950s and 1970s, Dr. Maloney explains in simple terms how the spread of Zika has never been primarily by mosquitoes. They act as helpers to the human spread of the disease. Claims that the "mosquito line" will prevent anyone north or south of it from getting Zika ignores both sexual and bloodborne transmission. We will see cases far from any mosquito infestation. But Dr. Maloney paints a different picture of the severe side effect picture for infants and pregnant mothers. He lays out a case that Zika alone does not cause the well-publicized cases of microcephaly. Some mothers are safe, and others are at high risk. If simple testing was done, the unnecessary abortions taking place in many areas could be prevented. Zika is both more and less dangerous than we've been told. Learn quickly how to keep your family safe from Zika. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Maloney. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/068715/bk_acx0_068715_sample.mp3.
