    Going Mobile: #VanLife Zine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    The statist-servile society (mainstream culture) is inherently unfree. Stationary dwellings are more vulnerable to coercion and are extremely expensive to afford; that, and there really is no such thing as private-property land ownership anyway. Nomadic lifestyles solve many of the above problems and are liberating in nature. Strategies in this realm include: van nomadism, wilderness "vonu", minimalist sailboating, pedestrian nomadism, and more. Learn how to live these lifestyles from folks who lived them. And always remember, "vonu" is yours for the making. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shane Radliff. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/119856/bk_acx0_119856_sample.mp3.

    Footfall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1474min
    They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods. Now the conquerors are descending on the American heartland, demanding servile surrender - or death for all humans. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: MacLeod Andrews.

    Modern Sicily: The History and Legacy of the Mediterranean Island Since the Middle Ages , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min
    It is hard to find an island on the map more central than Sicily. It has rarely been governed as an independent, unified state. Nonetheless, the island has always occupied a front-row seat to some of the most important events in history, and nowhere is this more obvious than during antiquity.After the Punic Wars, Sicily would remain a Roman domain, and affairs on the island dramatically affected the Romans at home. The First Servile War (135-132 BCE) and Second Servile War (104-100 BCE) both took place in Sicily, and they were perhaps the largest (and temporarily successful) slave revolts in antiquity, demonstrating a great unease in the early stages of Roman imperialism.Over 1500 years later, the largest island of the Mediterranean remains a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland. Separated by only the narrow Strait of Messina, Sicily feels like a different country in many ways, and the differences between Sicilians and Italians are much vaster than the tiny geographical separating them might intimate.There is also an ethnic difference between Sicilians and Italians. Most notably, many Sicilians have bright red hair and light eyes, which is usually thought to be a result of the Norman invasions, although today some historians believe it is because of the strong presence of the British during the Napoleonic Wars, as well as the Anglo-American occupation of Italy during World War II. Even Sicilian cuisine varies from the Italian mainland - Sicily is celebrated for having 72 different kinds of bread, and Sicilians often eat ice cream (gelato) for breakfast.However diverse Sicily might be, it is also paradoxically considered to be an emblem of Italy itself, a paradox it shares with Naples. No writer put it more aptly than the great Romantic poet Goethe. In an April 13, 1787 letter from Palermo, published in Journey to Italy, Goethe made the following declaration: “To have seen Italy without having seen Sicil ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sicily: The History and Legacy of the Mediterranean's Most Famous Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min
    It is hard to find an island on the map more central than Sicily. Located at the crossroads between Europe and Africa, and between the eastern and western Mediterranean, Sicily has rarely been governed as an independent, unified state. Nonetheless, the island has been the seat of some of the most important events in history, and nowhere is this more obvious than during antiquity.After the Punic Wars, Sicily would remain a Roman domain until the end of antiquity, and affairs on the island dramatically affected the Romans at home. The First Servile War (135 - 132 BCE) and Second Servile War (104 - 100 BCE) both took place in Sicily, and they were perhaps the largest (temporarily successful) slave revolts in antiquity, demonstrating a great unease in the early stages of Roman imperialism.In 70 BCE, the Roman orator and statesman Cicero gave a speech against Verres, the corrupt governor of the island, and over 2,000 years later, it still provides an invaluable glimpse into the way things were run in Sicily and the Roman Republic as a whole.Although the conquest of Egypt in 30 BCE would strip Sicily of its central role as Rome’s main supplier of grain, the island would remain an important part of the Roman Empire for about 500 more years. Sicily would only become independent again after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to barbarian tribes in the late 5th century CE, which ushered in the beginning of the Middle Ages. Over 1,500 years later, the largest island of the Mediterranean remains a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland. Separated by only the narrow Strait of Messina, Sicily feels like a different country in many ways, and the differences between Sicilians and Italians are much vaster than the tiny geographical region separating them might indicate.There is also an ethnic difference between Sicilians and Italians.

    What’s Wrong with the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
    In this important book, G.K. Chesterton offers a remarkably perceptive analysis of social and moral issues, even more relevant today than in his own time. With a light, humorous tone but a deadly serious philosophy, he comments on errors in education, on feminism vs. true womanhood, on the importance of the child, and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters’ assaults on the common man and the family. Chesterton possessed the genius to foresee the dangers of implementing modernist proposals. He knew that lax moral standards would lead to the dehumanization of man. In this book, he staunchly defends the family against those ideas and institutions that would subvert it and thereby deliver man into the hands of the servile state. In addressing what is wrong, he also shows clearly what is right, and how to change things in that direction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernard Mayes.

    The Wrong Unit: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min
    I don't know what the humans are so cranky about. Their enclosures are large, they ingest over 1,000 calories per day, and they're allowed to mate. Plus, they have me: an Autonomous Servile Unit, housed in a mobile/bipedal chassis. I do my job well: keep the humans healthy and happy.  "Hey you.”  Heyoo. That's my name, I suppose. It's easier for the humans to remember than 413s98-itr8. I guess I've gotten used to it.  Rob Dircks, author of Where the Hell is Tesla? and Don’t Touch the Blue Stuff!, has a "unit" with a problem: how to deliver his package, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to guide him. Oh, and with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It's a science fiction tale of technology gone haywire, unlikely heroes, and the nature of humanity. (Woah. That last part sounds deep. Don't worry, it's not.)  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Dircks. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/063555/bk_acx0_063555_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
