    Public Space Democracy (eBook, PDF)
    This volume takes a global view of the emergence of public protest movements over the last decade, asking whether such movements contribute to the globalization of civil society. Through a variety of studies, organised around the themes of public agency, public norms, public memory and public art, it considers the tendency of political contestations to move beyond national boundaries and create transnational connections. Departing from the approaches of social movements perspectives, it focuses on public space as a site of social "mixity" and opens up a new field for the study of politics and cultural controversies. An analysis of the paradigmatic change in the way in which society is made and politics is conducted, this study of the new enactment of citizenship in public space will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, geography and politics with interests in protest movements and contentious politics, citizenship and the public sphere, and globalization.

    Sutter's Country Home for Children , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 195min
    She had seen it all. The social workers would pull up with a kid. Aunt Clara and Uncle Dan would greet them in the driveway, all smiles and handshakes. Before the road dust had settled from the departing worker's car, the kid would be given the low-down on living here. The low-down was what everyone called the rules. Don't speak unless spoken to. Do what you are told, when you are told. Never touch the telephone. "The sooner you fall into line, the better off you will be," Uncle Dan always piped in. Some of the kids cried, some kicked and screamed when they realized their predicament. That's what the Chamber was for. The Chamber was merely a downstairs storage closet. Those that couldn't settle in the way they were expected had to be given the Chamber treatment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: uncredited.

    Subtitled 'A Story of To-day', A Laodicean occupies a unique place in the Thomas Hardy canon.

The story follows the life of Paula Power, heiress of her late father's railroad fortune and the new owner of the medieval Castle Stancy. With the castle in need of restoration, Paula employs architect George Somerset, who soon falls in love with her. However, Paula's dreams of nobility draw her to another suitor, Captain de Stancy, who is aided by his villainous son, William Dare.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
