Free Download Leonardo da Vinci (Audiobook)
English | October 17, 2017 | ASIN: B071S8BNDP | M4B@64 kbps | 17h 1m | 475 MB
Author: Walter Isaacson | Narrator: Alfred Molina
The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is "a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it...Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life" (The New Yorker).
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson "deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo" (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

Ich schwimme nicht mehr da, wo die Krokodile sind
Free Download Ich schwimme nicht mehr da, wo die Krokodile sind
Deutsch | 2023 | ISBN: 3864894271 | 298 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 3 MB
Sabine Kuegler wuchs im Dschungel von Westpapua auf, ihr Buch "Dschungelkind" wurde ein weltweiter Millionenbestseller. Mit 17 Jahren kam sie nach Europa und erfuhr einen Kultur-Clash. Heute lebt sie in Hamburg, hat Kinder, Freunde und Arbeit. Aber noch immer ist sie eine Zerrissene zwischen den Welten und der innere Kampf um ihre Identität quält sie. Im Dschungel hatte sie gelernt, unsichtbar zu werden, um zu überleben - in der westlichen Welt muss man sichtbar sein. Sie wurde darauf trainiert, ihre Welt mit allen Sinnen wahrzunehmen, aber hier waren sie permanent überreizt. Sie zweifelt und blickt von außen und innen auf unsere Zivilisation: Sind wir hier glücklich? Entfremdet? Gesund? Krank? Mehrfach kehrt sie in den Dschungel zurück. Bei einer dieser Reisen erkrankt Sabine Kuegler schwer, gilt als austherapiert und unternimmt einen letzten verzweifelten Rettungsversuch: Sie verlässt Deutschland, gibt ihre Kinder in die Obhut ihrer Väter und geht zurück in den Dschungel, in die Kultur, in der sie sich beschützt fühlt. Sie erlebt dort Abenteuer, die für viele Menschen kaum zu glauben sind. Erst nach fünf Jahren kommt sie zurück und erzählt erstmals von dieser dramatischen Zeit, von ihrer Suche nach Heilung, Glück und ihrem Platz im Leben. Dabei öffnet ihr einzigartiges Leben vielleicht auch die Chance, in einer globalisierten Welt Mittlerin zwischen den Kulturen zu sein. "Meine Geschichte begann an dem Tag, an dem mein Vater das Volk der Fayu entdeckte, einen Stamm, der in seiner Entwicklung seit Jahrhunderten stillsteht. Es war auch der Beginn des inneren Zusammenpralls zweier Welten. Denn ich trage in mir die Kultur, die Psychologie, die Mentalität und die Spiritualität von zwei Gesellschaften, die so gegensätzlich und so voneinander verschieden sind, dass sie auf unterschiedlichen Planeten zu Hause sein müssten."

Who da' Man  Black Masculinities and Sporting Cultures
Who da' Man ?: Black Masculinities and Sporting Cultures By Gamal Abdel-Shehid
2005 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 1551302616 | PDF | 2 MB
Don't let the vernacular/ebonicized title fool you: this is a hyperacademic text that I doubt few sports fans, whether in Canada or the United States, will understand. The author attempts to analyze how sports relates or fails to relate to topics such as race, masculinity, and nation. Yes, this is an intelligent and thoughtful book by a man who I hope goes far in his career. Still, it frustrated me in many ways.Though the author says he is a fan of X and Y sport, you wouldn't think it from his analysis. Whether it's basketball, football, track, he doesn't have anything good to say about the state of Canadian athletics or the few blacks involved in them. For this author, the glass is definitely half empty, if not entirely empty. Near the beginning, he questions whether professional sports is labor or art, but he never asks about pleasure. Though football players have been given statistics that say they do not live as long as non-football players, most of them say they would not have changed professions regardless. The joy of playing and watching sports never comes up at all in this book. You would have thought a sports-hater like me wrote it, not someone who claims to be a fan.The author always puts "race" in quotes. It may have been profound when Skip Gates did that while editing a book years ago, it is not now. Gates has already been criticized for it. Acknowledging that race means little biologically shouldn't erase the fact that it means a lot sociologically and historically, the fields which this author ponders. Race is no more "socially constructed" than any other terms. "Masculinities" never gets put in quotes but those are topics that are highly malleable, nebulous, and significantly debated. If the author is so uncomfortable with race, why is he so clearly writing in the field of Africana studies?The author shows that he is well-read, quoting from diverse sources such as Judith Butler, Michael Dyson, C.L.R. James, etc. However, I am quite surprised that men's' studies icons such as Michael Messner, Robert Staples, Devon Carbado, or R.W. Connell never come up. The author tries to avoid either-or thinking and logic. However, just bringing up X and negative X doesn't make the discussion penetrable. In fact, the author throws around all kinds of made-up terms like "good boy feminism," "buggin' out militancy" etc. that only add to this book being gobbledygook. He wants to have his cake and eat it too, and somehow the author thinks that means he is saying something profound.I applaud the author tremendously for showing that when many people say "black athlete," what they mean is "straight, male, black athlete." He does a great job in trying to connect the dots between race, gender, and sexuality. However, it may frustrate many that he leaves class off the table. He does condemn some practices as "bourgeois," but that's about it. In a continent where many wrongfully think "Everybody is middle-class!" that is a problem. Further, Messner and Kimmel have written extensively that class and dreams of upward mobility define boys' entry into sports. The author uses the term "queer" a lot even though a study was done of GLBT Black Americans that adamantly showed that they do not like that term.The author criticized writers for focusing too much on the US and not enough on Canada, but every other example that he brings up is from the United States too. This author needs to realize that there are more Black Americans (approximately 36 million) than there are Canadian citizens regardless of race (approximately 30 million). The author goes on and on about how black athletes are seen as not of the nation, of questionable citizenship. However, in the US, no one questions that Black Americans are American. It's rare for any person post-Marcus Garvey to say blacks should return to Africa. Blacks have lived in the United States since 1619, longer than most white citizens. Thus, maybe black American writers don't bring up black Canadians because the two groups are apples and oranges. The author wants to place black Canadian athletes in the spotlight, but he can't do it without mentioning black American athletes about five time beforehand.This is one of the few academic books that I've read which does not have a conclusory chapter. Then again, his body chapters usually have conclusion. Also, he has two introductory chapters when most professors just have one. The book is riddled with pop-up boxes. They discuss themes that anyone well-read enough to read the primary text would already know about. They were highly unnecessary.
