A Different Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 650min
Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least. Tough, hard, and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing. This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible. ungekürzt.

Covert Regime Change: America's Secret Cold War: Cornell Studies in Security Affairs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
States seldom resort to war to overthrow their adversaries. They are more likely to attempt to covertly change the opposing regime, by assassinating a foreign leader, sponsoring a coup d’état, meddling in a democratic election, or secretly aiding foreign dissident groups.In Covert Regime Change, Lindsey A. O’Rourke shows us how states really act when trying to overthrow another state. She argues that conventional focus on covert cases misses the basic causes of regime change. O’Rourke provides substantive evidence of types of security interests that drive states to intervene.Covert Regime Change assembles an original dataset of all American regime change operations during the Cold War. This fund of information shows the United States was 10 times more likely to try covert rather than overt regime change during the Cold War. Her dataset allows O’Rourke to address three foundational questions: What motivates states to attempt foreign regime change? Why do states prefer to conduct these operations covertly rather than overtly? How successful are such missions in achieving their foreign policy goals?The book is published by Cornell University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt.

The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective, inclusive (and overtly tripped-out) cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man. The Psychedelic Experience, created in the movement's early years by the prophetic shaman-professors Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), is a foundational text that serves as a model and a guide for all subsequent mind-expanding inquiries. In this wholly unique book, the authors provide an interpretation of an ancient sacred manuscript, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience describes their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan meditation techniques and psychotropic substances. As sacred as the text it reflects, The Psychedelic Experience is a guidebook to the wilderness of mind and an indispensable resource from the founding fathers of psychedelia. ungekürzt.

The Black Sheep and the Hidden Beauty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 705min, (USK 18)
They're back - the boys you go out looking for precisely because your mother warned you not to - the bad boys every good girl needs at least once, if not twice! Raphael "Rafe" Santiago may have left the streets years ago, but the street has never left him. A rough childhood in the Bronx taught him never to let his guard down, to keep everything in order, and always to trust that little voice in his gut that tells him when someone's got something to hide. Horse trainer Elena Caulfield, is definitely hiding something, and Rafe intends to find out what it is and take care of it - his way. But his way wasn't supposed to include feeling an intense attraction to the tomboyish Elena. With her mud-caked boots, quiet strength, and gentle manner, she's nothing like the flashy, seductive, overtly feminine women Rafe usually beds. The closer he gets to her, the harder it is to control that fiery passion he's worked hard to keep cooled, the kind that can catch a man off guard and leave him open to danger - because whatever secret Elena's protecting, it's big - and worth killing for. Because when you're from the Bronx, you take care of what you love - or die trying! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sebastian York.

Tommy Hawks Hill: Collected Poems and Song Lyrics of Pleasure, Passion, and Patriotism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
William M. Hinman was a life-long educator and poet, alive during the turn of the 20th century. But until now, the only people who had the privilege of listening to his poems were his friends and relatives. Tommy Hawks Hill, a compilation of Hinman's poetry edited by his great-great-grandson Robert Todd Christensen, offers 21st-century listeners the opportunity to see the late 1800s and early 1900s through new eyes. Experience moments both extraordinary and mundane as the poet offers glimpses into his everyday life during this momentous time in history. Some poems are more overtly historic, covering topics such as the 1939 World's Fair in New York, the introduction of the automobile, and the wars that shook the world. This book, however, offers an additional, unique view of the past in that the poet also shares moments from his everyday life, family relationships, school experiences, and community events in small-town America. Throughout the book, listeners will hear the words of patriotism that helped define the average American's life during this time, as well as a strong sense of community and dedication to family. A breath of fresh air, Tommy Hawks Hill doesn't make light of harsh realities, but it does approach them with honesty and hope. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Hoyt.

Super Black: American Pop Culture and Black Superheroes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
Winner, American Book Award, Before Columbus Foundation, 2012 Super Black places the appearance of black superheroes alongside broad and sweeping cultural trends in American politics and pop culture, which reveals how black superheroes are not disposable pop products, but rather a fascinating racial phenomenon through which futuristic expressions and fantastic visions of black racial identity and symbolic political meaning are presented. Adilifu Nama sees the value - and finds new avenues for exploring racial identity - in black superheroes who are often dismissed as sidekicks, imitators of established white heroes, or are accused of having no role outside of blaxploitation film contexts. Nama examines seminal black comic book superheroes such as Black Panther, Black Lightning, Storm, Luke Cage, Blade, the Falcon, Nubia, and others, some of whom also appear on the small and large screens, as well as how the imaginary black superhero has come to life in the image of President Barack Obama. Super Black explores how black superheroes are a powerful source of racial meaning, narrative, and imagination in American society that express a myriad of racial assumptions, political perspectives, and fantastic (re)imaginings of black identity. The book also demonstrates how these figures overtly represent or implicitly signify social discourse and accepted wisdom concerning notions of racial reciprocity, equality, forgiveness, and ultimately, racial justice. ungekürzt.

UFO Warning: Attacked by the Men in Black , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min
One by one, UFO experts have given up their research - sometimes, even their lives - and been forced to go underground because of threats from the shadowy beings known as the "Men in Black". Are these sinister individuals simply government agents gone rogue, or are they something far more sinister? Are the MIB representatives of an extraterrestrial police force, whose job it is to keep the gates to a parallel universe closed tightly behind them? Publisher Gray Barker finds aspects of this book very disturbing. It is a story that might be unpleasant to hear, but the dangerous aspects of the UFO riddle cannot be overlooked. May this book serve as a warning to many other UFO students, since it informs us that within the framework of the enigma, pitfalls exist that can cause grief and grave danger. What is the evidence that the "Men in Black" are responsible for murdering some of our most experienced researchers? Is a branch of the military cooperating with the MIB to carry out unconstitutional actions against our citizens? Are there negative aspects of the occult that tie in with the appearance of the "Men in Black"? Is there anything you can do to guard against such negative, and sometimes, overtly hostile, activities? Explore the answers within this book. ungekürzt. Language: English.
