    Desert Queen: The Many Lives and Loves of Daisy Bates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    In the 1890s, when a woman's role was seen as marrying well and raising a family, Daisy Bates reinvented herself from humble governess to heiress-traveller and 'woman of science'. She would become one of the best-known and most controversial ethnologists in history, and one of the first people to put Aboriginal culture on the map. Born into tough circumstances, Daisy's prospects were dim; her father an alcoholic bootmaker, her mother dying of consumption when Daisy was only four years old. Through sheer strength of will, young Daisy overcame her miserable start, and in 1883 she migrated to Australia with a boatload of orphans, passing herself off as an heiress who taught for fun. Marriage followed – first with the young Breaker Morant, then bigamously with two other husbands. For decades she led a double life. But who was the real Daisy Bates? While other biographies have presented her as a saint, historian Susanna de Vries gives readers a more complex portrait of the 'Queen of the Never Never'. ungekürzt. Language: English.

More realistic glimpses into western life with Andy Adams. Wells Brothers (1911) Dell and Joel Wells are about to abandon their dead father's claim on Beaver Creek because it won't grow crops. Then unexpected events, and a drover seeking aid, allow them a decent chance in life. The boys develop their own ranch on the Beaver, without capital but with honor. No amount of savvy can entirely prepare them for the risks: cruel winters, rapacious wolf packs, summer droughts, mysterious Texas fever, or the shifting circumstances of the cattle trade. ungekürzt.

    Frog Music: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman named Jenny Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice - if he doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers, and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women, and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, Frog Music digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other.

    The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1731min
    One of the four volumes of Scripture accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is an abridgment by an ancient prophet named Mormon of the records of ancient inhabitants of the Americas. It was written to testify that Jesus is the Christ. Concerning this record, the Prophet Joseph Smith, who translated it by the gift and power of God, said, “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book” (see the introduction at the front of the Book of Mormon).  The Book of Mormon is a religious record of three groups of people who migrated from the Old World to the American continents. These groups were led by prophets who recorded their religious and secular histories on metal plates. The Book of Mormon records the visit of Jesus Christ to people in the Americas following his resurrection. A 200-year era of peace followed that visit of Christ. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Market Civilizations (eBook, PDF)
    The first comprehensive study of neoliberalism's proselytizers in Eastern Europe and the Global SouthWhere does free market ideology come from? Recent work on the neoliberal intellectual movement around the Mont Pelerin Society has allowed for closer study of the relationship between ideas, interests, and institutions. Yet even as this literature brought neoliberalism down to earth, it tended to reproduce a European and American perspective on the world. With the notable exception of Augusto Pinochet's Chile, long seen as a laboratory of neoliberalism, the new literature followed a story of diffusion as ideas migrated outward from the Global South. Even in the most innovative work, the cast of characters remains surprisingly limited, clustering around famous intellectuals like Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek.Market Civilizations redresses this absence by introducing a range of characters and voices active in the transnational neoliberal movement from the Global South and Eastern Europe. This includes B. R. Shenoy, an early member of the Mont Pelerin Society from India, who has been canonized in some circles since the Singh reforms; Manuel Ayau, another MPS president and founder of the Marroquín University, an underappreciated Latin American node in the neoliberal network; Chinese intellectuals who read Hayek and Mises through local circumstances; and many others. Seeing neoliberalism from beyond the industrial core helps us understand what made radical capitalism attractive to diverse populations and how often disruptive policy ideas "went local."

However, not all of the gods are content with this new addition to the family, as Cytherus repeatedly finds himself the target of Ares.

    The Vestal Lady on Brattle: Annotated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    In the mid-1950s a new literary movement emerged from a New York-based group of writers who migrated to the West Coast and became the voice of a Post-War generation - the Beats. Founded by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs the group expanded to include a fresh-faced delinquent just out of prison, Gregory Corso.Corso was a creature of the streets and his poetry, although reflecting refined sensibilities, often harkened back to his old Italian neighborhood and the petty mischief that landed him in penal institutions. As many of the Beats left for San Francisco, Corso chose a different path and moved to the area around Harvard University, where he acquired knowledge by stealth, pretending to be a Harvard classman.As writer Ed Ward describes in the afterword to this volume of Corso's poetry, Corso was ratted out by some of the students who apparently resented that he was enjoying the campus life for free. However, once it was discovered how talented the young poet was he was allowed to stay, and other more appreciative students bankrolled The Vestal Lady on Brattle, Corso's first book, published privately and later picked up by City Lights Books, Lawrence Ferlinghetti's renowned imprint for the Beat writers. ungekürzt.

    The Jew a Negro: Being a Study of the Jewish Ancestry from an Impartial Standpoint (1910) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
    Abernethy’s 1910 book The Jew a Negro has been analyzed by numerous modern authors studying race relations in earlier times in America.Arthur Talmage Abernethy, PH. D., (1872 –1956) was a professor, Methodist pastor in New York and North Carolina, and a Democratic candidate for congress in North Carolina. He was a gifted speaker and author a score of historical books, as well as being the youngest son of the founder of Rutherford College. He was elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science and became the poet laureate of North Carolina.For example, the 2006 Jewish Roots in Southern Soil: A New History notes: “One southern writer, the North Carolina minister Arthur T. Abernethy, published an entire book arguing that "the Jew of to-day is essentially Negro in habits, physical peculiarities and tendencies". In rare cases...Jews were...grouped with blacks."The 2006 book The Price of Whiteness: Jews, Race, and American Identity states: “Published in 1910 by the North Carolina minister and professor Arthur T. Abernethy, The Jew a Negro argued that ancient Jews had thoroughly mixed with neighboring African peoples, leaving little significant difference between the Jewish and Negro types. As the Jews migrated to more temperate climes, their skin lightened and they became successful, but their essential racial similarity to blacks remained unaltered." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The End from the Beginning: The Origin of Western Civilization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
    Thirty-five years of research has produced a different concept of the origin of Western Civilization, tracing its origin through nations and people many of whom you've likely never heard. For the first time, the exponential growth in the first three centuries AD of the church that Jesus established is linked to the Hand of God sequestering a large portion of his “chosen people” - the “lost sheep of the House of Israel “ - in the Parthian Empire where Jesus’ apostles could teach them about our Savior and his new Covenant with mankind without the oppression of the Roman Empire.Later, the descendants of those Christianized Israelites migrated to Europe and took part in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the scientific and industrial revolutions, and the Christian Reformation. Afterward, they helped form Western Civilization to complete the process of spreading the Gospel of Jesus and the physical blessings God promised Abraham. The origin of Western Civilization is traced to its beginning 4,000 years ago. The culture and economic and political hegemony of Western Civilization today was planned by a mind that resides outside of time. In the process of that story, you will find answers to some interesting questions; you may also find your Christian faith strengthened or - if you're a non-believer - you may have new reasons for taking another look at that way of life. ungekürzt.
