Story
Über das letzte Jahrhundert hinweg hat sich die Menschheit Hunger, Seuchen und Kriegen erfolgreich gestellt. Aus Erfolg wird Ehrgeiz: als nächstes stehen Unsterblichkeit, grenzenloses Glück und gottgleiche Schöpfungskräfte auf der To-Do-Liste. Die Verfolgung dieser Ziele wird die meisten Menschen allerdings überflüssig machen. Also bleiben Fragen: Wohin führt unser Weg? Wie können wir unsere Zukunft bestmöglich beeinflussen?

Story
Vor 100.000 Jahren war der Homo sapiens noch ein unbedeutendes Tier, das unauffällig in einem abgelegenen Winkel des afrikanischen Kontinents lebte. Unsere Vorfahren teilten sich den Planeten mit mindestens fünf weiteren menschlichen Spezies und die Rolle, die sie im Ökosystem spielten, war nicht größer als die von Gorillas, Libellen oder Quallen. Vor 70.000 Jahren dann vollzog sich ein mysteriöser und rascher Wandel mit dem Homo sapiens.

So etwas gelingt nur Bill Bryson: Ein Spaziergang durch sein Haus führt ihn zur Geschichte der Menschheit. Er wandelt von Zimmer zu Zimmer und stößt dabei auf die Geschichte des Essens, Schlafens, Sexes und der Hygiene und macht auch vor Wanzen, Skorbut, sogar der Leichenräuberei nicht halt. Eben ein Abriss dessen, was der Menschheit alles passiert ist, seit sie sesshaft wurde - fundiert, anschaulich und humorvoll, wie wir Bill Bryson kennen.

Was haben eine Ritterrüstung, die Tabakdose Friedrichs des Großen und der WM-Fußball von 1954 gemeinsam? Es sind drei von 100 Mosaiksteinen der deutschen Geschichte, stumme Zeugen der Vergangenheit. Hermann Schäfer, einer der führenden Vertreter der deutschen Museumsszene, fügt sie in dieser Sammlung zusammen. Anschaulich und gut verständlich dokumentiert er die Geschichte der Objekte und macht zugleich auch ihre erstaunliche Umdeutung im Dienst politischer Interessen und gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche deutlich. Durch ausgefeiltes Sounddesign und mit Hilfe der Sprecher Stefan Wilkening und Katja Bürkle wird der Hörer in verschiedene Klangsituationen und damit auch akustisch in die Vergangenheit versetzt.

Qu'adviendra-t-il de l'État providence lorsque nous, les humains, serons évincés du marché de l'emploi par des ordinateurs plus performants ? Quelle utilisation certaines religions feront-elles de la manipulation génétique ?

Pourquoi la démocratie libérale est-elle en crise ? Sommes-nous à l'aube d'une nouvelle guerre mondiale ? Que faire devant l'épidémie de "fake news" ? Quelle civilisation domine le monde : l'Occident, la Chine ou l'Islam ? Que devons-nous enseigner à nos enfants ? Avec l'intelligence, la perspicacité et la clarté qui ont fait le succès mondial de ses deux précédents livres, Yuval Noah Harari décrypte le XXIe siècle sous tous ses aspects.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers.

Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Story
This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.
