Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Chippewa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky. (Chippewa proverb) From the Trail of Tears to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans who lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture. In Charles River Editors' Native American Tribes series, listeners can get caught up on the history and culture of North America's most famous native tribes in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Outside of the Midwest, the Chippewa are not as well known as other Native American tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, but they have long been one of the biggest groups in all of North America. Not surprisingly their presence around the Great Lakes region made them especially important to early European explorers who sailed the St. Lawrence and came into contact with the natives as they continued searching for the Northwest Passage. The French in particular conducted substantial fur trading with the Chippewa. And it is thanks to the European explorers that the various groups have all been identified as Chippewa today. Unlike other Plains peoples and tribes scattered throughout North America, the Chippewa fared relatively well after contact was established with European and American settlers. They had been enemies of the Iroquois before and during European colonization of North America. They then engaged in different political alliances with the French and British as their interests dictated. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Zarbock.

After Della had been orphaned she came to live in the country with her uncle, Lord Lainden, who rented a delightful house on the estate of his great friend the Duke of Marchwood. She was blissfully happy with her uncle and rode the Duke's horses every day. But a cloud was gathering on the horizon in the form of Jason, the Duke's only son and heir.

The Duke was determined that Jason should marry Della and used huge pressure on her and her uncle to gain his wish. She was repulsed by Jason and decided to run away with the friendly band of gypsies who were camped nearby so that she could think of a way out her dilemma.

The Hermitage Museum: The History and Legacy of Russia's Famous Art and Culture Icon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin. (Ivan Turgenev, 19th century Russian novelist) Before the 18th century, many believed that the "Tsardom of all Russia", which originated with the rather aptly named Ivan the Terrible, had contributed to the deceleration of the nation's progress. They fared no better in the eyes of the major powers of Europe at the time, who openly dismissed them as "barbarians" that ran a "backwards" society. It was clear that Russia was hopelessly stuck in a dark ages of sorts. That was, until a new wave of monarchs, mainly Peter the Great and Empress Catherine II, reeled the country out of the dark and troubled waters of societal and cultural decay. Fond of the cultures to the west, Peter embraced technology, science, and the arts, developing a new educational system for his people and supporting a number of institutions of higher learning in Russia. He built a European-style capital at St. Petersburg and also established new ports and access to the Baltic Sea for the purposes of opening up trade with the west. Catherine the Great came to power in the midst of the Enlightenment, which was flourishing in France and Britain. A known correspondent of Voltaire's, Catherine sought to modernize Russia and turn it into a force in its own right, creating a rich and cultured court at the same time. Over the course of nearly 35 years in power, Catherine ushered in the Russian Enlightenment and presided over a period of time known as the Golden Age of the Russian Empire. Moreover, Catherine had an unmatched passion for the arts, and she began a private art collection that would eventually evolve into galleries upon galleries of historical treasures shipped in from all over the world. This fabled museum was none other than the Hermitage, located in the heart of Saint Petersburg, a city founded by the imperial empire's very own Peter the Great. T ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Pythagoreans, according to Dr. Isaac Watts, had a very sacred rule in life. It was their practice to evaluate all the day's activities or events before going to sleep. The evaluation was not done only once or twice but thrice. The reason, of course, is obvious - they wanted to ascertain how they fared in all their affairs, what was done wrong and what was accomplished right. ungekürzt. Language: English.
