    The Norman Conquest: England After William the Conqueror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 364min
    Exploring the successful Norman invasion of England in 1066, this concise and listenable book focuses especially on the often dramatic and enduring changes wrought by William the Conqueror and his followers. From the perspective of a modern social historian, Hugh M. Thomas considers the conquest's wide-ranging impact by taking a fresh look at such traditional themes as the influence of battles and great men on history and by assessing how far the shift in ruling dynasty and noble elites affected broader aspects of English history. The results, Thomas convincingly shows, are both complex and surprising. In some areas where one might expect profound influence, such as government institutions, there was little change. In other respects, such as the indirect transformation of the English language, the conquest had profound and lasting effects that transformed society as a whole. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My Appetites , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    That the greatly admired novelist Kate Christensen has turned to the memoir form after six novels makes this book an event. Readers of memoirs of high literary quality, particularly those with food themes - most conspicuously Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples and Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood, Bones, and Butter - as well as admirers of M. F. K. Fisher and Laurie Colwin will be a large and eager audience. This memoir derives from Kate's popular foodcentric blog, in which she shares scenes from an unusual upbringing and an unusually happy present-day life, providing an audience for this book that is already primed. That it is written by Kate Christensen means it will be a delicious reading experience in every sense - a compulsively listenable account of a knockabout life, full of sorrows and pleasures, many of the latter of the sensual, appetitive variety. ungekürzt.

    Why Saying Jesus Is a Jew Hurts Jews: A Readable Examination of Socio-Religious Factors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
    Does saying that Jesus Christ is a Jew hurt Jews and Jewish communities? This is the question that Nicholas Irish asks. Nicholas Irish's answer? Yes! Irish provides ample evidence from history, society, politics, religion, and sociology to show that saying that Jesus Christ is a Jew hurts Jews and Jewish communities. Irish argues that stating that Jesus Christ is a Jew will push historical processes such as the violent pogroms that Jews experienced in Russia and the Holocaust that Jews experienced in Europe. This audiobook is a must listen for Jews and non-Jews alike. It is insightful and very listenable. Even a person without any previous knowledge of Jewish history or Christianity can understand this audiobook after hearing it. This audiobook may well hold the key to Jewish survival for the 21st Century! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Ryan.

    Shakespeare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
    Shakespeare did more than any person to shape the English language, coining more than 1,000 words and writing a host of poems and plays considered the finest of their genres. Yet the documentary records of his life is surprisingly scanty; literary historians know more about the lives of ancient Greek tragedians like Aeschylus and Sophocles than they do about Britain's greatest writer. In this compact, highly listenable biography, Alexander Kennedy separates truth from fiction, history from myth in the life of this enigmatic genius. Was Shakespeare gay or bisexual? Who were the recipients of his celebrated sonnets? Did another author write some or all of his plays? How could a single man's work so thoroughly reshape our language, our literature, and our world? The answers lie within. "To be, or not to be, that is the question." (William Shakespeare) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston.
