Mom, There's a Man in the Kitchen, and He's Wearing Your Robe: The Single Mom's Guide to Dating Well Without Parenting Poorly , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min

Embarking on the dating scene can be a fun though sometimes daunting prospect for any single woman. But for the more than 10 million single women in the U.S. with children at home, dating is a much more complicated matter. Whether uncoupled through divorce or death, single moms face a wide range of questions: When will I be ready to date and how do I start? When-and what-should I tell the kids? What happens if I love the guy and the kids hate him? In Mom, There's a Man in the Kitchen and He's Wearing Your Robe, Ellie Slott Fisher, a once-widowed, once-divorced single mother of two, speaks with refreshing candor about balancing dating and parenting. Drawing upon her own experience, the stories of many other women, and the advice of family psychologists, Fisher offers encouragement, strategies, and a healthy dose of humor for the single-but-looking mom-from how to meet men in the first place to when to introduce your date to the kids, from when and where to work sex into the equation to how to talk to your dating teenagers without looking like a hypocrite. Practical, funny, and hopeful, this is the one guide single moms need before jumping into the murky waters of the dating pool. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Park.

Middlemarch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1943min

Exclusively from Audible George Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and pioneering medical methods threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as 'one of the few English novels written for adult people'. Middlemarch explores nearly all matters of concern to modern life, portraying an entire community and every class within it. Full of irony and suspense and even richer in character it shows how individual lives are shaped by and shape the community. Within Middlemarch, we find Eliot's ability to expand the audience's compassion and imagination. George Eliot was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological insight. When Middlemarch was released Eliot was considered England's finest living novelist with many critics still regarding this novel as the finest in English. A BAFTA winning adaptation of Middlemarch aired as a television series in 1994. Narrator Biography Maureen is an English actress and author best known for playing the role of Vicki in Doctor Who where she starred alongside the original Doctor, William Hartnell.

William Wilberforce: Life of the Great Anti-Slave-Trade Campaigner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1342min

Hague shows how Wilberforce, after his agonising conversion to evangelical Christianity, was able to lead a powerful tide of opinion, as MP for Hull, against the slave trade, a process which was to take up to half a century to be fully realised. Indeed, he succeeded in rallying to his cause the support in the Commons Debates of some the finest orators in Parliament, having become one of the most respected speakers of those times. Hague examines twenty three crucial years in British political life during which Wilberforce met characters as varied as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Tsar Alexander of Russia, and the one year old future Queen Victoria who used to play at his feet. He was friend and confidant of Pitt, Spencer Perceval and George Canning. He saw these figures raised up or destroyed in twenty three years of war and revolution. Hague presents us with a man who teemed with contradictions, making him a hugely criticised and at times hated figure among his peers. His behaviour and the ideas he upheld led William Cobbett to describe him as a consummate hypocrite. He was described by radicals as a supporter of repression at home, and although he took up a long list of humanitarian causes, on his home turf, he would show himself to be a firm supporter of the instincts, interests and conservatism of the Yorkshire freeholders who sent him to Parliament. William Hague's masterful study of this remarkable and pivotal figure in British politics brings to life the great triumphs and shattering disappointments he experienced in his campaign against the slave trade, and show how immense economic, social and political forces came to join together under the tireless persistence of this unique man. ungekürzt.

Fall from Grace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min

Eli Baine has sinned. Spectacularly. When he's caught using a prostitution ring, the news blasts across print and broadcast media: the son of a reality TV evangelical clan, whose Christian lifestyle is showcased regularly in Baine Family Values television episodes, is exposed as a hypocrite. Carted off to rehab, Eli chafes at being lumped in with molesters and serial adulterers. But when he escapes to visit his wife, Ruth, he finds no solace there. She can hardly bear to look at him, let alone admit him back into her life with their infant child. This sets Eli off on a hard journey toward redemption, understanding and reconciliation. His first stop is at a mainline Protestant church that embraces him with tolerance and support, but where he must endure counseling from a “she-priest” and an ultimate betrayal by someone who'd offered a helping hand. Meanwhile, Ruth herself sets out on a healing path, being counseled by a new, young pastor at her parents' fundamentalist church who offers her more than just spiritual guidance. Both Eli and Ruth wander in the wilderness of heartbreak, distrust, and eventual tragedy until they finally transform into different individuals who can see the light of hope and love in their marriage and their lives. “Fall From Grace is an engrossing portrait of Christian life in America today, spanning social and religious worlds from the evangelical to the progressive. At the same time, Fall From Grace is a convincing character study that portrays the growth of a man beyond crippling, parochial entitlement to selfless love, and the parallel emergence of his wife from self-effacing submission and naiveté to self-realization. A deeply moving examination of the struggle between compulsion and conscience; of the power of faith; and of Christian approaches to sin, hypocrisy, responsibility, remorse, forgiveness, and the true meaning of love.” Mitchell James Kaplan, award-winning author of By ungekürzt.

From Shithole to Trumpland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min

On Thursday, January 11th, 2018, behind a closed-doors meeting, our President Donald J. Trump made a comment on immigrants coming from Haiti and African nations as people from “shithole countries”. It was all over the news especially on CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, NPR, and so many other channels. African news networks also went on discussing this, and generally it broke the internet. Social media became mainly a battleground for people who support and those who oppose. For years, African countries have been referred to as developing countries, the Dark Continent, peripheral, Banana Republics, third-world nations, and so many other words. These terminologies have been used from grade school to universities, and all these terminologies have been “designed” by Westerners to categorize and group these countries into one box, and to deny them certain privileges and/or rights. CNN and other western media use these words which are very offensive and derogatory every single day especially when talking of economies and democratic tendencies in Africa. If not being a hypocrite, why those networks tell Africans that Trump called you “shithole countries” and telling them it is a bad word and offensive while same networks still using similar words, just different wording to those countries? And why African countries get upset with one word as offensive and derogatory but “accepting” all other words of similar meaning and implications? Is it because CNN said so? Personally, I have seen and experienced those extremely dirty, shabby, and unpleasant places in both African countries and here in the United States. There are so many places you cannot even imagine you are in America, apart from being “fooled” with nice pictures on the internet and the media. There are so many rats in New York City around the subway just like some slums in some parts of Africa. There are so many unpleasant places across the United States where, if you take a picture, no one will ever believe y ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Franchuk.

Monster in the Mirror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 674min

Charles and Eddie Drummond are mirror twins, identical, yet opposite, a rare subset in twins. One brother is right-handed and the other is left-handed. One boy is outgoing while the other is painfully shy. Charlie is a gifted, natural athlete; while Eddie struggles to be average. Charlie graduates at the top of his class and is given an athletic scholarship to an Ivy League college. The two brothers have a bitter fight, just days before Charlie leaves for school. Eddie never leaves the family home. He will not see his brother again for nearly twenty years. Charlie returns home when their mother passes away, but he now insists to be addressed as Charles. He has accomplished much in his years away, both an author and the host of a nationally syndicated radio program. Five days a week, Charles touts the virtues of the conservative political movement. Him and his wife have two children. Eddie is also married with two children, but he is worried about seeing his brother after so many years. Thankfully, the funeral seems to put an end to the bad blood between them. Soon, the two families are forming bonds and Charles confides that he and his family would like to spend the summer in their hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota. They have grown tired of the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, and with Eddie’s blessings, Charles proposes the idea of renting an office in town to broadcast his show. Despite his reservations, Eddie gives Charles his approval. The two families gradually discover vast differences in their political and spiritual beliefs and they begin to clash. Too late, Eddie learns that Charles is not the man he pretends to be. Slowly, Charles proves himself to be a hypocrite and is only using his professed faith as a tool to get what he wants out of life and for the status it represents. From the far right to the extreme left, this tale slowly unravels around some of the most delicate issues of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Kuch.

The Representation of the American Presidency in Recent Hollywood Movies (eBook, PDF)

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 1998 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, LMU Munich, language: English, abstract: In Hollywood film history, the U.S. president has had many images - a brave leader, an incompetent fool, a lovable hero. One thing is for certain: No matter what era, Presidents, whether fictional or real, are frequent fodder for filmmakers. After Vietnam and the revelations of Watergate, however, the number of films with presidential portrayals steadily decreased, and the depictions that did appear generally cast a corrupt or inept Chief Executive. It is therefore more than surprising why filmmakers today have decided to produce such an incredibly large number of films as compared to the last two decades. Presidents have been portrayed as minor characters in dozens of Hollywood films, either for inspirational purposes or simply to keep the plot moving. Lately, not only the number of President films has increased significantly, but there is also a clear tendency to let the Presidents move towards center stage, and they are now often pictured as the protagonists. This phenomenon opens up a whole range of questions: How are the Presidents depicted? Is there a certain trend in the portrayals? Or are those portrayed all different from each other? Are there differences or similarities to older characterizations? What does this tell us about Hollywood's view of the Presidency? Has it suddenly changed? And what are the reasons for such a sudden boost in the number of films? By taking a closer look at a selection of Hollywood productions, this paper provides an attempt to find answers to these questions. Of the string of fictional Presidents that American filmmakers have recently created, some are more loathsome than their real-life counterparts, others more heroic. Both types seem designed to connect with audiences' hopes and fears - what the Hollywood dream factory does best. Interestingly, the portrayals have been all over the map: genial, kind-hearted impostor (Dave); reluctant, alien-fighting hero (Independence Day); pompous, delusional incompetent (Mars Attacks!); sympathetic, romantic widower (The American President); distracted, workaholic father (First Kid); promiscuous, murderous hypocrite (Absolute Power); tough defender of family and country (Air Force One), to name only a few. By discussing a selection of presidential films, this thesis examines Hollywood's portrayal of the American Presidency.
