    Sleeping Giant: How the New Working Class Will Transform America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
    What does working class mean in today's America? Today's workers don't just man the assembly lines. They watch our children and aging parents, park our cars, screen our luggage, clean our offices and hotel rooms, cook our take-out meals, and stock our store shelves. And they are blacker, browner, and more female than the old working class. They are not as organized in terms of their unions and political clout, but they are demographically powerful and are awakening to that power. The new working class is indeed a "sleeping giant", and Tamara Draut will blend up-close-and-personal individual narratives with historical background and sophisticated analysis to explain how they are about to change America for the better. ungekürzt.

    The Defender: How the Legendary Black Newspaper Changed America; from the Age of the Pullman Porters to the Age of Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1328min
    Giving voice to the voiceless, the Chicago Defender condemned Jim Crow, catalyzed the Great Migration, and focused the electoral power of black America. Robert S. Abbott founded the Defender in 1905, smuggled hundreds of thousands of copies into the most isolated communities in the segregated South, and was dubbed a "Modern Moses", becoming one of the first black millionaires in the process. His successor wielded the newspaper's clout to elect mayors and presidents, including Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy, who would have lost in 1960 if not for the Defender's support. Along the way, its pages were filled with columns by legends like Ida B. Wells, Langston Hughes, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drawing on dozens of interviews and extensive archival research, Ethan Michaeli constructs a revelatory narrative of race in America from the age of Teddy Roosevelt to the age of Barack Obama, and brings to life the reporters who braved lynch mobs and policemen's clubs to do their jobs. ungekürzt.

    Who the F*** Wants to be President: My Year of Living Politically , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
    Why would anyone run for president? Everyone believes you need a big name, deep pockets, and partisan clout to even try - and with good reason. But does it have to be that way, and could a no-name scientist from Florida have a shot at the Oval Office? This is the story of finding that answer. It’s part memoir, part critique, and part tell-all on some of the unwritten rules of American politics. Told by a psychologist and former civil servant, this book sheds light on the often-shadowed ecosystem of national politics, interwoven with my own experience campaigning across the 50 states. It’s a book for anyone irritated with the current climate, for those wanting a glimpse at the inner-workings of our political apparatus, and for those looking for hope for our nation. It’s a book about the American experience - in all its raw, irreverent, loving, surprising, and inspirational glory. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caroline Turner Cole.

But political clout isn't all it seems to be. While Seafort tries to stay true to his moral code, he's being pulled in every direction. His former colleagues in the navy demand more ships while the enviro lobbyists plead with him to repair the planet's broken ecosystem. Patriarch's Hope returns the focus to the Seafort Saga's charismatic and troubled title character.
