    History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Hillary Clinton for Children , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
    Perfect for ages 7-10.In Charles River Editors’ History for Kids series, your children can learn about history’s most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise but comprehensive audiobook will keep your kid’s attention all the way to the end.During the presidential campaign in 1992, Democratic challenger Bill Clinton announced that by voting for him, Americans would get two presidents "for the price of one". The reference to his wife Hillary signified that she would be no ordinary first lady, and indeed she was employed frequently by her husband in the White House to try to push legislation through Congress, most notably universal healthcare. While that proved to be one of the Clinton Administration’s greatest failures, Hillary and her staff continued to act as a political surrogate for the president during his two terms.Of course, describing Hillary Clinton as just a first lady belittles all of her accomplishments. Today she is the most powerful woman in the world and one of the most recognizable, working so seamlessly with her former rival Barack Obama that her popularity has easily eclipsed his within a year of his victory over her in the Democratic primaries. In addition to the stirring Democratic primaries of 2008, Hillary was a US Senator from New York for nearly eight years before becoming Obama’s Secretary of State. Recognized as one of the sharpest minds in Washington and a complete policy wonk, Hillary has been one of the few bright spots in Obama’s Cabinet during his first term.History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Hillary Clinton for Children looks at the life and career of one of America’s most influential first ladies, but it also humanizes the woman who has overcome personal and political hurdles along the way. Your kids will learn about Hillary Clinton like never before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D. Johnston.

    Making History: The Life of Barack Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. (Barack Obama's Inaugural Address) On November 4, 2008, 47-year-old Barack Obama walked onto the stage in Grant Park to deliver an Election Night speech less than an hour after he had been officially declared President-Elect of the United States. As he came out to an audience numbering in the hundreds of thousands, with millions more watching on television, the first African-American elected president in the nation's history told Americans, "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." Although it was a reference to his historic election, the quote applied equally to the very unique path Obama took in life to reach that moment. Though he was still young by presidential standards, the biracial native of Hawaii had already traveled a great distance physically and spiritually, learning about himself and discovering his self-identity along the way. After receiving a blue chip education that took him to Harvard Law School and helped him become a law professor and community organizer in Chicago, he began a rapid ascent through state politics to become a US Senator in 2004. To a degree, Obama's election in November 2008 was anti-climactic compared to the incredibly close victory he had over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries. With 18.2 million votes total, Hillary Clinton had won more votes than any other candidate in the history of the presidential primaries, but it was Obama who won more delegates to become the first African-Ameri ungekürzt.

    Prophecy: Arcadis, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min
    In the beginning of the sorcerer world there existed three primary colored powers - red, blue, and yellow. Prior to Lord Quill's ascension to head sorcerer, his predecessor ruled no one was allowed to marry outside of their respective color. Every sorcerer was a primary colored power. When Lord Quill took control, he did not want anyone to usurp his authority. Thus he ruled no primary colored power may be allowed to marry the same colored power. Hence a dilution occurred. When a blue colored power sorcerer married a yellow powered sorcerer, their baby was green powered and considered a secondary power. When a red colored powered sorcerer married a blue powered sorcerer, they would create a purple secondary powered sorcerer and so on. Can the the primaries and secondaries get along or will there be a struggle between the two classes? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Pelletier.

    Truth Bombs: Confronting the Lies Conservatives Believe (To Our Own Demise) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
    Why do conservatives always seem to lose, even when Republicans win? With considerable firsthand experience in politics and an engaging, analytical perspective, Steve Deace provides the answer.Why does the Republican Party always seem to betray conservatives in the end? How come leftists never worry some “squishy” moderate will win Democrat primaries, even though conservatives in the GOP are constantly fighting that battle? Why do GOP leaders typically fight the conservative base harder than they fight the Democrats? How did the left gain control of every major cultural institution in the country? Why does the Republican Party continue to fund (alleged) political enemies, such as Planned Parenthood? Is the GOP really the “the stupid party” or something much worse?Deace answers these questions and more in Truth Bombs, a definitive expose on why conservativism has no future - if it remains hostage to the unibrow-party duopoly. ungekürzt.

    Quarterly Essay 32: American Revolution: The Fall of Wall Street and the Rise of Barack Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    Where were you when America elected Barack Obama? Kate Jennings was in New York, eyes wide open, completing her take on an amazing time: "the run-up to the election... a time when every day felt like a year and we became slightly crazed from worry but also mesmerised, unable to switch off the cable news stations, obsessively tracking the DOW, VIX, LIBOR spreads, polls in red states. So much at stake." American Revolution is a dazzling and perceptive look at the United States between hope and despair: an election-year kaleidoscope. Jennings describes how and why the US economy fell off a cliff and how an apparently endless run of primaries and an increasingly rancorous campaign culminated in a world-changing victory. She surveys the characters - Obama, Palin, McCain and the Clintons - and conveys the concepts - derivatives, bailouts and moral hazard. This is an essay that shows America in fascinating flux: it is witty and poetic, acute and evocative. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marie-Louise Walker.
