The Eternal Tao Te Ching The Philosophical Masterwork of Taoism and Its Relevance Today [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B09XJ6V2F1 | 2022 | 1 hour and 56 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 107 MB
The Eternal Tao Te Ching is the first translation to employ the meanings of the pre-writing brush characters in use 2,400 years ago, when the classic was written, rather than relying on the often different meanings of the more modern brush characters, as other translations have done. Hoff points out in his chapter notes the many incidents of meddling and muddling that have been made over the centuries by scholars and copyists, and he corrects the mistakes and removes such tampering from the text. Hoff also makes the provocative claim—and demonstrates by revealing clues in the text—that the author of Tao Te Ching was a young nobleman hiding his identity, rather than the long alleged author, the "Old Master" of legend, Lao-tzu. And Hoff's chapter notes shed new light on the author's surprisingly modern viewpoint. This is a unique, and uniquely accessible, presentation of the Tao Te Ching.

The Eternal Nazi From Mauthausen to Cairo, the Relentless Pursuit of SS Doctor Aribert Heim [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B00IK2OMY0 | 2014 | 9 hours and 50 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 271 MB
Dr. Aribert Heim worked at the Mauthausen concentration camp for only a few months in 1941 but left a devastating mark. According to the testimony of survivors, Heim euthanized patients with injections of gasoline into their hearts. He performed surgeries on otherwise healthy people. Some recalled prisoners' skulls set out on his desk to display perfect sets of teeth. Yet in the chaos of the postwar period, Heim was able to slip away from his dark past and establish himself as a reputable doctor and family man in the resort town of Baden-Baden. His story might have ended there, but for certain rare Germans who were unwilling to let Nazi war criminals go unpunished, among them a police investigator named Alfred Aedtner.

The English Civil Wars 1640-1660 [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B09TFVG45M | 2022 | 5 hours and 29 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 151 MB
The political upheaval of the mid-17th century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: The monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule. In this wonderfully listenable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins - the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's rule, and the Restoration - while aiming to reveal something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and the concerns of later generations.

Can a 19th-century landscape architect help us address the sustainability challenges of our time?

In The Enduring Genius of Frederick Law Olmsted, you'll learn about the iconic landscape architect's incredible life—and ponder his incredible legacy. You'll explore his work as a designer of some breathtaking natural landscapes (as well as some of the painful failures he had to endure along the way). You'll also consider Olmsted's efforts to address the momentous challenges of his century, including the Civil War, and the vital role he played in the most transformative period in American history.

The End of Genetics Designing Humanity's DNA, 2022 Edition [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B09NX36SSP | 2022 | 5 hours and 14 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 143 MB
An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies. Since 2010, it has been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable genetic disease". As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices. Engaging and accessible, this clarion call for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored, issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the genomes of their children.

The End of Burnout Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B09QQTYGV9 | 2022 | 8 hours and 4 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 441 MB
Going beyond the how and why of burnout, a former tenured professor combines academic methods and first-person experience to propose new ways for resisting our cultural obsession with work and transforming our vision of human flourishing. Burnout has become our go-to term for talking about the pressure and dissatisfaction we experience at work. But because we don't really understand what burnout means, the discourse does little to help workers who are suffering from exhaustion and despair. Jonathan Malesic was one of those workers, and to escape, he quit his job as a tenured professor. In The End of Burnout, he dives into the history and psychology of burnout, traces the origin of the high ideals we bring to our dismal jobs, and profiles the individuals and communities who are already resisting our cultural commitment to constant work.
