    The Ten Types of Human: A New Understanding of Who We Are and Who We Can Be , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1592min
    This audiobook will introduce you to ten people. In a way, you already know them. Only you don't - not really. In a sense, they are you. Only they're not entirely. They inform and shape the most important decisions in your life. But you're almost certainly unaware of their intervention. They are the Ten Types of Human. Who are they? What are they for? How did they get into your head? We want to believe that there are some things we would never do. We want to believe that there are others we always would. But how can we be sure? What are our limits? Do we have limits? The answer lies with the Ten Types of Human: the people we become when we are faced with life's most difficult decisions. But who or what are these types? Where do they come from? How did they get into our heads? The Ten Types of Human is a pioneering examination of human nature. It looks at the best and worst that human beings are capable of and asks why. It explores the frontiers of the human experience, excavating the forces that shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations. It begins in a courtroom and journeys across four continents and through the lives of some exceptional people, in search of answers. Mixing cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and human rights research, The Ten Types of Human is at once a provocation and a map to our hidden selves. It provides a new understanding of who we are - and who we can be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Clegg.

    The Italian Invasion of Africa: The History of Italian Colonization in Africa and the Rise and Fall of the Italian Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    In 1884, Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event—known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885—galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa.  The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would granted without evidence of a practical occupation, and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader, a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of Chartered Companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European African colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so childishly simple, the matter was wrapped up, for the most part, in less than a decade. ungekürzt.

    Faes et Dieux : L'évolution (Chroniques du voile de la Pierre, #3) (eBook, ePUB)
    Le mal arrive. Une malveillance sinistre comme ce monde n'en a jamais vu et qui vient tout droit des profondeurs des Enfers. Une noirceur destinée à détruire. Une prophétie que je dois accomplir, mais à laquelle je ne survivrai probablement pas. À travers tout cela, Carrick Byrne est resté fermement à mes côtés. Quelque chose a profondément changé entre l'homme que je méprisais autrefois et moi, et il a suffi d'un baiser de provocation pour que nous le ressentions tous les deux. Je sens au fond de mon âme que nous sommes guidés par le destin, mais je ne sais pas si je peux m'y fier. Carrick cache quelque chose et je crains que les conséquences soient mortelles une fois que sa vérité sera révélée. Nous ne sommes pas prêts, mais la calamité n'attend pas. J'ai découvert un pouvoir en moi que je dois apprendre à maîtriser. Un nouveau lien avec le Monde souterrain m'a été révélé, un lien qui, j'espère, est amical, mais qui pourrait tout aussi bien être hostile. Nous sommes engagés dans une course contre la montre pour tenter de trouver un moyen d'empêcher la fin du monde. La bataille s'annonce bientôt et je ne peux qu'espérer que nous soyons préparés à ce qui va suivre.Faes et dieux : L'évolution est le troisième tome de la série Chroniques du voile de la Pierre. Il est préférable de le lire dans l'ordre de la série.

    The Colonies of British South Africa: The History and Legacy of British Imperialism in Modern South Africa and Zimbabwe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
    The Napoleonic Wars radically altered the old, established European power dynamics, and in 1795, the British, now emerging as the globe’s naval superpower, assumed control of the Cape as part of the spoils of war. In doing so, they recognized the enormous strategic value of the Cape as global shipping routes were developing and expanding. Possession passed back and forth once or twice, but more or less from that point onward, the British established their presence at the Cape, which they held until the unification of South Africa in 1910. However, it would only come after several rounds of conflicts. In 1884, Prince Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event - known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 - galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa.The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa.

    The Election of 1800: The History and Legacy of America's Most Controversial Presidential Election , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
    The voters must have been happy after the election was over. For months, they had endured vicious attacks made by members of two warring parties against each other as time and time again issues were ignored in favor of personal attacks. One party was seen as caring more about the interests of the wealthy and supporting bankers and businesses. The other party was supposed to favor the working man, the farmer, and small businessman trying to eke out a living. The first party was said to be in the back pocket of America's most recent enemy, while the other party was much to devoted to the nation's first, even though many of its policies had changed since their first alliances ended. Then there were the candidates. One was the incumbent, a staid fellow of middle class origins who was known to ruthlessly weed out his enemies. Another candidate had no federal experience and very little political experience at the state level. Having been born into a wealthy, politically active family, he vocally supported a strong military and insisted that American must stand strong against anyone who rattled a saber in her direction. The third candidate was popular and good looking, with extensive political experience at the state and federal level. Highly intelligent and well-educated, he was rumored to have loose morals and at least two mistresses. The final candidate was a hot head, known to shoot off his mouth at the least provocation. So wild were some of his ideas that even some of the members of his own party shunned him. Though people characterize politics as nasty today, this election took place more than 200 years ago during a time when America was supposedly a kinder and more gracious place. ungekürzt.

    The Last Segregated Hour: The Memphis Kneel-Ins and the Campaign for Southern Church Desegregation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 793min
    On Palm Sunday 1964, at the Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, a group of black and white students began a "kneel-in" to protest the church's policy of segregation, a protest that would continue in one form or another for more than a year and eventually force the church to open its doors to black worshippers. In The Last Segregated Hour, Stephen Haynes tells the story of this dramatic yet little studied tactic which was the strategy of choice for bringing attention to segregationist policies in Southern churches. "Kneel-ins" involved surprise visits to targeted churches, usually during Easter season, and often resulted in physical standoffs with resistant church people. The spectacle of kneeling worshippers barred from entering churches made for a powerful image that invited both local and national media attention. The Memphis kneel-ins of 1964-65 were unique in that the protesters included white students from the local Presbyterian college (Southwestern, now Rhodes). And because the protesting students presented themselves in groups that were "mixed" by race and gender, white church members saw the visitations as a hostile provocation and responded with unprecedented efforts to end them. But when Church officials pressured Southwestern president Peyton Rhodes to "call off" his students or risk financial reprisals, he responded that "Southwestern is not for sale." Drawing on a wide range of sources, including extensive interviews with the students who led the kneel-ins, Haynes tells an inspiring story that will appeal not only to scholars of religion and history, but also to pastors and church people concerned about fostering racially diverse congregations. ungekürzt.
