Kay, Kathryn Kolbert Narrator: Julie F. Kay, Kathryn Kolbert, Ellen Archer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 29 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: From two lawyers at the forefront of the reproductive rights movement, this fully updated book shares bold strategies meant to help restore and expand reproductive and sexual rights. Reproductive freedom has never been in more dire straits. Roe v. Wade protected abortion rights and Planned Parenthood v. Casey unexpectedly preserved them. Yet in the following decades these rights have been gutted by restrictive state legislation, the appointment of hundreds of anti-abortion judges, and violence against abortion providers. Today, the ultra-conservative majority at the Supreme Court has overturned our most fundamental reproductive protections. With Roe toppled, abortion is now a criminal offense in nearly one-third of the United States. At least six states have enacted bans on abortion as early as six weeks of pregnancy—before many women are even aware they are pregnant. Today, 89% of U.S. counties do not have a single abortion provider, in part due to escalating violence and intimidation aimed at disrupting services. We should all be free to make these personal and private decisions that affect our lives and wellbeing without government interference or bias, but we can no longer depend on Roe v. Wade and the federal courts to preserve our liberties.   Legal titans Kathryn Kolbert and Julie F. Kay share the story of one of the most divisive issues in American politics through behind-the-scenes personal narratives of stunning losses, hard-earned victories, and moving accounts of women and health care providers at the heart of nearly five decades of legal battles. Kolbert and Kay propose audacious new strategies inspired by medical advances, state-level protections, human rights models, and activists across the globe whose courage and determination are making a difference.  No more banging our heads against the Court’s marble walls. It is time for a new direction.

Title: Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know Author: Laura Erickson-Schroth, Benjamin Davis Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 9, 2021 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: The term 'gender' was first distinguished from 'sex' in the 1950s when psychologists began to discuss the idea of 'gender roles,' behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology, psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences, while legal battles, wage disparities, and health inequities continue to prove gender's relevancy in today's world. In this book, Laura Erickson-Schroth and Benjamin Davis guide listeners through the knowns and unknowns of gender, asking questions such as: What is the difference between sex, gender identity, and gender expression? Were ancient societies matriarchal? How different are male and female brains, really? What role does language play in the ways we think about gender? What do we know about sex and gender in non-human species? What are the current frontiers in gender equality?

Title: 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed: Revised and Updated Series: #1 of Turning Points in Ancient History Author: Eric H. Cline Narrator: Eric H. Cline Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 51 Ratings of Narrator: 3.25 of Total 4 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by acclaimed archaeologist and bestselling author Eric Cline offers a breathtaking account of how the collapse of an ancient civilized world ushered in the first Dark Ages In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the 'Sea Peoples' invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy defeated them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, famine, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life a vibrant multicultural world, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires of the age and shows that it may have been their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse. Now revised and updated, 1177 B.C. sheds light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and eventually destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece and, ultimately, our world today.

Die Welt braucht dich Author: Gerhard Scheucher Narrator: Gerhard Scheucher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 15, 2017 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Tu es! Die Welt braucht dich. ist ein Plädoyer für Zivilcourage und aktives Engagement für eine bessere und gerechtere Welt. 'Es gibt nichts Gutes, außer: Man tut es.' - Dieses Epigramm Erich Kästners stellt der Sachbuchautor Gerhard Scheucher seinem neuen Werk voran. In seinem insgesamt 7. Buch (u. a. 'Die Kraft des Scheiterns', 2008) macht der Träger des Bruno-Kreisky-Preises (2004) Mut, eine zukunftsweisende Wandlung der Welt, die Lebensraum für uns alle ist, selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und sich für eine Gesellschaft zu engagieren, die Menschen einbezieht und nicht ausgrenzt. Wie wir unseren Planeten im positiven Sinn verändern können, zeigt der Autor anhand der Entwicklung vieler großer Organisationen auf, die einmal nichts weiter als scheinbar utopische Ideen von Einzelpersonen gewesen sind. Tu es! Die Welt braucht dich. gibt klare Handlungsanleitungen, wie wir unsere Verantwortung wahrnehmen können. Viele praktische Beispiele dienen dabei als Wegweiser, sich gesellschaftspolitisch zu engagieren, denn eigenverantwortliche Initiativen von Frauen und Männern, von Jungen und Alten, braucht es mehr denn je. Wenn wir wollen, dass sich unsere Gesellschaft weiter entwickelt und nicht zerfällt, dann muss vielen bedenklichen Tendenzen der Nährboden entzogen werden. 'Tu es! Die Welt braucht dich.' Nicht-Handeln ist für Gerhard Scheucher keine Option!
