''¡Habemus personaje!'' (Jerónimo Tristante, autor de El valle de las sombras y 1969) ''Una historia llena de suspense y una galería de personajes digna de un narrador excepcional'' (Revista Impar) ARGUMENTO Siglo VI de nuestra era. El templo de Filé, último refugio de la religión egipcia, es saqueado y destruido por el ejército bizantino. Su culto cae en el olvido. Sus tesoros desaparecen sin dejar rastro... hasta hoy. Madrid, dos mil años después. Para Jaime Azcárate las navidades están a punto de convertirse en un torbellino de intriga y peligro. En su empeño por conseguir un puesto en la revista Arcadia, el joven periodista inicia una investigación que no tarda en ponerlo tras la pista de algo mucho más gordo y trascendente de lo que cabía esperar. Unos intereses capaces de generar una corriente de violencia y destrucción en toda la ciudad durante las fiestas navideñas. Con la ayuda de un apasionado comunista calvo, una enigmática y bella austriaca, un libertino marchante de antigüedades y un policía que opera al margen de la ley, Jaime Azcárate cuenta con muy poco tiempo para llegar al fondo de un misterio de más de veinte siglos de antigüedad. Sacerdotes nubios, asesinos colombianos, pitonisas televisivas, jipis trasnochados y el panteón egipcio al completo pueblan las páginas de esta apasionante aventura, fruto de un laborioso proceso de documentación.

Siete sencillos pasos que nos acercarán a nuestros sueños. Una guía maravillosa que nos acercarán hacia la felicidad. Cuando me encuentro con gente que se siente afortunada, a la que la Suerte le ha sonreído en alguna ocasión, o en varias, suelen coincidir en una cosa: que la Suerte no ha llegado por casualidad. La suerte requiere de constancia, ilusión y trabajo para que se concilie con nosotros: es decir, hemos de poner mucho de nuestra parte en la aventura de atraerla. Podemos identificar la SUERTE como un golpe de fortuna que nos alcanza una vez en la vida, y malgastar todo nuestro tiempo en esa espera, en la mayoría de los casos de manera infructuosa. Tendemos a pensar en nuestra MALA ESTRELLA cuando asistimos atónitos a noticias que nos hablan de afortunados a los que tocó la lotería, encontraron petróleo debajo de sus granjas o tuvieron un hijo superdotado que les ha hecho millonarios. Son casos excepcionales. Sin embargo, no nos cercioramos de nuestra BUENA ESTRELLA cuando vemos o leemos noticias trágicas. Pareciera que eso no nos puede suceder. Y las probabilidades de que, por casualidad, nos suceda algo realmente bueno son las mismas de las que nos suceda algo realmente malo ESCASÍSIMAS. Por lo tanto empecemos a pensar en la suerte como algo que podemos controlar, como un camino que podemos recorrer y encontrar una meta. Para ello es preciso atender a una serie de reglas, que yo he denominado SECRETOS, aunque en realidad están cargados de sentido común. Recorramos juntos este camino. Contacto: info@hotaudiobook.com

In Congress, the media, and academic debate, opponents from right and left, the Red and the Blue, struggle against one another as if politics were contact sports played to the shouts of cheerleaders. The result, Ronald Dworkin writes, is a deeply depressing political culture, as ill equipped for the perennial challenge of achieving social justice as for the emerging threats of terrorism. Can the hope for change be realized? Dworkin, one of the world's leading legal and political philosophers, identifies and defends core principles of personal and political morality that all citizens can share. He shows that recognizing such shared principles can make substantial political argument possible and help replace contempt with mutual respect. Only then can the full promise of democracy be realized in America and elsewhere. Dworkin lays out two core principles that citizens should share: first, that each human life is intrinsically and equally valuable and, second, that each person has an inalienable personal responsibility for identifying and realizing value in his or her own life. He then shows what fidelity to these principles would mean for human rights, the place of religion in public life, economic justice, and the character and value of democracy. Dworkin argues that liberal conclusions flow most naturally from these principles. Properly understood, they collide with the ambitions of religious conservatives, contemporary American tax and social policy, and much of the War on Terror. But his more basic aim is to convince Americans of all political stripes — as well as citizens of other nations with similar cultures — that they can and must defend their own convictions through their own interpretations of these shared values.

Kirsch Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 12:07:34 Language: English Release date: 09-30-18 Publisher: Findaway Voices Genres: Sports & Recreation, Golf Summary: In this concise social history of golf in the United States from the 1880s to the present, George B. Kirsch tracks the surprising growth of golf as a popular, mainstream sport, in contrast to the stereotype of golf as a pastime enjoyed only by the rich elite. While golf retains a strong association with upper-class, male-dominated, socially exclusive country clubs, it has also boasted a dedicated following among Americans from different social classes, ethnic backgrounds, races, and genders. In addition to classic heroes such as Francis Ouiment, Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan, the annals of golf's early history also include African American players - John Shippen Jr., Ted Rhodes, and Charlie Sifford - as well as both white and black female players such as Mildred 'Babe' Didrikson Zaharias, Louise Suggs, Betsy Rawls, Ann Gregory, and former tennis champ Althea Gibson. Examining golf's recent history, Golf in America looks at the impact of television and the rivalry between Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, both of whom in 1996 were impressed by an upstart named Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods. This book shows that golf in America has always reflected a democratic spirit, evolving into a sport that now rivals baseball for the honor of being 'America's national pastime.'

Wolin Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 12:25:09 Language: English Release date: 09-30-18 Publisher: Findaway Voices Genres: Politics, Political Advocacy, Political Ideologies Summary: Democracy is struggling in America — by now this statement is almost cliche. But what if the country is no longer a democracy at all? In Democracy Incorporated, Sheldon Wolin considers the unthinkable: has America unwittingly morphed into a new and strange kind of political hybrid, one where economic and state powers are conjoined and virtually unbridled? Can the nation check its descent into what the author terms 'inverted totalitarianism'? Wolin portrays a country where citizens are politically uninterested and submissive - and where elites are eager to keep them that way. At best the nation has become a 'managed democracy' in which the public is sheperded, not sovereign. At worst it is a place where corporate power no longer answers to state controls. Wolin makes clear that today's America is in no way morally or politically comparable to totalitarian states like Nazi Germany, yet he warns that unchecked economic power risks verging on total power and has its own unnerving pathologies. Wolin examines the myths and mythmaking that justify today's politics, the quest for an ever-expanding economy, and the perverse attractions of an endless war on terror. He argues passionately that democracy's best hope lies in citizens themselves learning anew to exercise power at the local level. Democracy Incorporated is one of the most worrying diagnoses of America's political ills to emerge in decades. It is sure to be a lightening rod for political debate for years to come.

Edwards Narrator: Beth Richmond Format: Unabridged Length: 10:14:51 Language: English Release date: 09-30-18 Publisher: Findaway Voices Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment Summary: Throughout his career, Johnny Cash was depicted — and depicted himself — as a walking contradiction: social protestor and establishment patriot, drugged wildman and devout Christian crusader, rebel outlaw hillbilly thug and elder statesman. Leigh H. Edwards explores the allure of this paradoxical image and its cultural significance. She argues that Cash embodied irresolvable contradictions of American identity that reflect foundational issues in the American experience, such as the tensions between freedom and patriotism, individual rights and nationalism, the sacred and the profane. She illustrates how this model of ambivalence is a vital paradigm for American popular music, and for American identity in general. Making use of sources such as Cash's autobiographies, lyrics, music, liner notes, and interviews, Edwards pays equal attention to depictions of Cash by others, such as Vivian Cash's publication of his letters to her, documentaries and music journalism about him, Walk the Line, and fan club materials found in the archives at the Country Music Foundation in Nashville, to create a full portrait of Cash and his significance as a cultural icon.

Noll Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Length: 05:50:05 Language: English Release date: 09-30-18 Publisher: Findaway Voices Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Non-Fiction, Religious Studies, Social Science Summary: Mark Noll, one of the most influential historians of American religion writing today, traces the explosive political effects of the religious intermingling with race. Noll demonstrates how supporters and opponents of slavery and segregation drew equally on the Bible to justify the morality of their positions. He shows how a common evangelical heritage supported Jim Crow discrimination and contributed powerfully to the black theology of liberation preached by Martin Luther King Jr. In probing such connections, Noll takes listeners from the 1830 slave revolt of Nat Turner through Reconstruction and the long Jim Crow era, from the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s to 'values' voting in recent presidential elections. He argues that the greatest transformations in American political history, from the Civil War through the civil rights revolution and beyond, constitute an interconnected narrative in which opposing appeals to Biblical truth gave rise to often-contradictory religious and moral complexities. And he shows how this heritage remains alive today in controversies surrounding stem-cell research and abortion as well as civil rights reform. God and Race in American Politics is a panoramic history that reveals the profound role of religion in American political history and in American discourse on race and social justice.

The purpose of Why Architecture Matters is to 'come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually' — with its impact on our lives. 'Architecture begins to matter,' writes Paul Goldberger, 'when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads.' He shows us how that works in examples ranging from a small Cape Cod cottage to the 'vast, flowing' Prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the Lincoln Memorial to the highly sculptural Guggenheim Bilbao and the Church of Sant'Ivo in Rome, where 'simple geometries... create a work of architecture that embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination.' Based on decades of looking at buildings and thinking about how we experience them, the distinguished critic raises our awareness of fundamental things like proportion, scale, space, texture, materials, shapes, light, and memory. Upon completing this remarkable architectural journey, listeners will enjoy a wonderfully rewarding new way of seeing and experiencing every aspect of the built world.
