While helping former slaves integrate into a free society, she lectured fervently against the discriminations against women, and especially African American women. Her speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” is considered one of the most riveting women’s rights speeches ever given.Sojourner Truth demanded that African Americans should have equal rights to support themselves and live independently of the dictates of a master or the government. She didn’t just demand her rights, she seized hold of them - such as when she rode the white section of a trolley car.

    From the former Republican governor of Florida and a leading constitutional litigator comes a timely and provocative look at one of the most divisive issues facing the nation today: immigration. There's no public policy issue that divides Americans more stridently than immigration. The principal arguments have remained consistent for more than two centuries, without a common ground ever being reached. Now, in Immigration Wars, Jeb Bush and leading constitutional litigator Clint Bolick deliver a comprehensive solution based on two core principles: Immigration is vital to America's future, fueling its growth, vibrancy, and creativity; but any enduring solution must follow America's laws. We are, of course, a nation of immigrants. More than any other country, our national identity is based on a set of ideals that are enriched and reinvigorated by immigrants, most of whom attach themselves more fervently to core American values. But over the past several decades, a huge percentage of immigrants have entered and remained in the country illegally. In order to effectively deal with this problem, we must first overhaul our badly broken immigration process. An important and necessary work, Immigration Wars offers a compassionate view of immigration and realistic measures for reforming policy - without the divisive rhetoric - and a roadmap for our country's future. ungekürzt.

    In Joy's continuing journey of discovery, she finds that the more open she is to sex with other women, the more opportunities that present themselves. She delights in the warm, sensual softness of other women’s bodies and finds herself just as eager to please her female partners as they are to please her. It was also clear to her that, in the swinging lifestyle, which she has totally embraced, women enjoying women is not only accepted, but encouraged. At first she thought that her husband, Steve, and any other male partners she had been with, might be threatened by her newfound attraction to women. She needn’t have worried. Apparently observing, or interacting, with women enjoying each other is a real turn-on for men. The men enjoyed being voyeurs, enjoyed assisting, and enjoyed being invited to join in. So, Joy felt it was a win-win situation for her and Steve, and applied her newly discovered desires fervently. In this audiobook, Joy recounts an evening with two other couples that she likes to refer to as a threesome times two! - as well as a visit to a Swingers resort in Texas where they meet another very willing and enthusiastic couple. ungekürzt.

    There’s no way back…. The picturesque city of York is rocked when the hellraiser and lottery winner Billy Privett is found murdered in a town centre hotel - his corpse brutally dissected, as if someone had performed a post mortem whilst he was still alive. Chillingly, the walls of the room bear words daubed in Billy’s blood, including “Free” and “The Process is Coming Down.” Billy’s infamous reputation had been sealed a year previously - when a local university student had been found dead in mysterious circumstances at one of his debauched parties - and his death is little lamented, apart from by his lawyer, the young and ambitious Amelia Diaz, who remains convinced of his innocence. But who could have killed Billy in such a way? Unbeknownst to the police, a terrifying new cult is on the rise, one that may hold the key to Billy’s death: The Church of the Free Mind. The cult is presided over by the charismatic and terrifying Charlie Watson, who holds absolute power over the church members. But when Amelia is drawn too close to the group whilst investigating Billy’s death, it seems that these fervently religious cult members would do anything to protect their leader - even commit murder. ungekürzt.

    The tea has been thrown overboard - the revolution of 1860 has been initiated. (Charleston Mercury, November 8, 1860) In 1860, Charleston, South Carolina, embodied the combustible spirit of the South. No city was more fervently attached to slavery, and no city was seen by the North as a greater threat to the bonds barely holding together the Union. And so, with Abraham Lincoln's election looming, Charleston's leaders faced a climactic decision: They could submit to abolition - or they could drive South Carolina out of the Union and hope that the rest of the South would follow. In Madness Rules the Hour, Paul Starobin tells the story of how Charleston succumbed to a fever for war and charts the contagion's relentless progress and bizarre turns. In doing so he examines the wily propagandists, the ambitious politicians, the gentlemen merchants and their wives and daughters, the compliant pastors, and the white workingmen who waged a violent and exuberant revolution in the name of slavery and Southern independence. They devoured the Mercury, the incendiary newspaper run by a fanatical father and son; made holy the deceased John C. Calhoun; and adopted "Le Marseillaise" as a rebellious anthem. Madness Rules the Hour is a portrait of a culture in crisis and an insightful investigation into the folly that fractured the Union and started the Civil War. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A broken heart. An infamous holiday gone wrong. A deadly curse brought to life. A holiday in Switzerland is supposed to lift Mary Wollstonecroft Godwin’s spirits. She wants to forget the past and have fun. In fact, everyone in her party is running away from one indiscretion or another — from her fiancé Percy Shelley to Lord Byron to Mary’s stepsister, Claire. But from the moment Mary arrives at Byron’s villa, she knows something is wrong.He rushes her indoors and forbids all of them to go out at night, claiming that the horrible weather has driven wild animals down from the mountains. The only person who doesn’t seem to be running away from anything is a handsome, young Italian doctor, John Polidori. Instead, he is fervently pursuing local folk legends and a new scientific theory that claims people can be raised from the dead. But it’s not until they all challenge one other to write ghost stories that the real danger begins. In a nightmare, Mary envisions a patchwork man animated by Galvanism and she begins writing Frankenstein. Likewise, fueled by local legends, John writes The Vampyre — one of the first vampire stories ever written. What neither one of them knows is that they are conjuring a dark evil. Before long, all of their lives will be in danger — for neither of these characters are imaginary. Far from it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Holt.
