    Athens & Sparta: Ancient Greece's Famous City-States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min
    For 2500 years, the Ancient Greeks have fascinated the West, who look to Greece as the creators of Western culture. Indeed, the Greeks revolutionized warfare, art, architecture, government, philosophy, and more. Of all the Greeks' accomplishments, many can be credited to the two most famous city-states of all: Athens and Sparta. The most unique city-state in Ancient Greece was Sparta, which continues to fascinate contemporaneous society. It is not entirely clear why Sparta placed such a great emphasis on having a militaristic society, but the result was that military fitness was a preoccupation from birth. If a Spartan baby did not appear physically fit at birth, it was left to die. Spartan children underwent military training around the age of seven years old, and every male had to join the army around the age of 18. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

    Diplomacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    Diplomacy is a peaceful art used by states to maintain official relationships with other neighboring states. The development of diplomacy is parallel to the development of international law. Diplomacy exists from the ancient era and can be dated to 1 billion BC. With the advent of the Renaissance, the concept of envoys was added, and diplomacy underwent huge changes, and with time, diplomacy became a distinct subject. The most challenging phase in the development of the subject was during the Second World War. However, diplomacy prevailed, and the growth continued. The era of globalization further entangled diplomacy, and the complex structure is rapidly developing as the countries are preparing new methods of making diplomatic relations. Presently, diplomacy exists in many forms and is one of the primary tools of negotiation between nations in the subject of international law and a barricade between peace and law. ungekürzt.

    Memoir of a Debulked Woman: Enduring Ovarian Cancer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
    A 2012 New York Times Book Review Notable Book Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body’s betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need. ungekürzt.

    Permanent Present Tense: The Unforgettable Life of the Amnesic Patient, H.M. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
    Permanent Present Tense tells the incredible story of Henry Gustav Molaison, known only as H. M. until his death in 2008. In 1953, at the age of 27, Molaison underwent a dangerous "psychosurgical" procedure intended to alleviate his debilitating epilepsy. The surgery went horribly wrong, and when Molaison awoke he was unable to store new experiences. For the rest of his life, he would be trapped in the moment. But Molaison’s tragedy would prove a gift to humanity. The amazing specificity of his impairment shed new light on the functions and structures of the human brain, revolutionizing neuroscience. Today, the case of H. M. stands as one of the most consequential and widely referenced in this fast-expanding field. Renowned neuroscientist Suzanne Corkin worked with Molaison for nearly five decades. In Permanent Present Tense, she tells the full story of his life and legacy, leading her listener to the cutting edge of neuroscience with great clarity, sensitivity, and grace. ungekürzt.
