    Title: Great Powers and Geopolitical Change
    Author: Jakub J. Grygiel
    Narrator: C. James Moore

    Summary:
    In an era of high technology and instant communication, the role of geography in the formation of strategy and politics in international relations can be undervalued. But the mountains of Afghanistan and the scorching sand storms of Iraq have provided stark reminders that geographical realities continue to have a profound impact on the success of military campaigns. Here, political scientist Jakub J. Grygiel brings to light the importance of incorporating geography into grand strategy. He argues that states can increase and maintain their position of power by pursuing a geostrategy that focuses on control of resources and lines of communication. Grygiel examines case studies of Venice, the Ottoman Empire, and China in the global 15th century - all great powers that faced a dramatic change in geopolitics when new routes and continents were discovered. The location of resources, the layout of trade networks, and the stability of state boundaries played a large role in the success or failure of these three powers. Grygiel asserts that, though many other aspects of foreign policy have changed throughout history, strategic response to geographical features remains one of the most salient factors in establishing and maintaining power in the international arena.

    Zusammenfassung:
    "Platon. Der Denker Europas: Eine Einführung in seine Philosophie und Ethik" von Dr. Christoph Quarch "Die europäische Philosophie", sagte der Philosoph A.N. Whitehead, "ist nichts anderes als eine Fußnotensammlung zu Platon". Das trifft zu - auch dann, wenn Platon der am meisten missverstandene Denker Europas ist. Doch gerade deshalb ist er aktuell und inspirierend wie kein zweiter. Denn in Platons Werk schlummert noch manches geistige Potenzial, das zu entfalten der abendländischen Kultur gut tun wird. Der Philosoph Christoph Quarch erklärt Platon wie kein anderer. Er hat einen frischen und erhellenden Blick auf das Werk Platons. Lassen Sie sich inspirieren und kommen Sie mit ins Reich der Gedanken. Quarch zuzuhören, heißt Philosophie als spirituelle Erfahrung erleben. Erster Vortrag (Track 1 bis 3): "Sonne der Gerechtigkeit. Warum nur das Gute wahr ist." Wer den Sinn von etwas verstehen will, muss wissen, was sein Gutsein ausmacht. In seinem Höhlengleichnis beschreibt Platon den Weg zum wahrem Wissen und zur Weisheit. Zweiter Vortrag (Track 4 bis 6): "Der göttliche Wahnsinn. Warum Eros uns glücklich macht." Wer glücklich werden will, muss sich ins Leben verlieben. Die Kraft des Eros, so lehrte Platon, öffnet unseren Blick für die Schönheit und Sinnhaftigkeit der Welt - und erfüllt unsere Seele mit Lebendigkeit. Dritter Vortrag (Track 7 bis 9): "Das schönste Lebewesen. Wie das Leben lebendig wird." Wer gut leben möchte, muss verstehen, was Lebendigkeit eigentlich ist: er muss das Wesen der Psyche begreifen. Platon verweist dafür auf den Kosmos, den er "das schönste Lebewesen" nannte. Vierter Vortrag (Track 10 bis 12): "Gott ist das Maß aller Dinge. Wie wir unser Gemeinwesen einrichten sollten." Wer wissen möchte, wie Gemeinschaft gelingt, muss das Maß des Lebens und der Natur kennen. Denn nur wenn wir naturgemäß leben, werden wir gut miteinander auskommen, zeigt Platon in seinem letzten Werk "Gesetze".

    Title: Southerner, Take Your Stand!
    Author: John Vinson
    Narrator: Bill Izard
    Format: Unabridged

    Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

    Summary:
    The title and message of John Vinson’s audiobook is one in the same - Southerner, Take Your Stand! This is not an empty call to action or pining for the good ol' days, but a practical guide to reclaiming your identity and your life. Although this audiobook is specific to Southerners, the discerning listener will view Vinson’s work as applicable to any individual, family, or community that wants to separate themselves - as far as possible - from the "Establishment" and get back to the basics of faith, family, community, sustainable living, and self-sufficiency. This road to independence is fraught with danger and hardships, but the alternative route is a road to both moral and material ruin: "The time is ripe to set a new course of living and making a living. Southerners and other Americans must understand that to depend on the Establishment is to participate in our own destruction. If we are to be saved, we must save ourselves by striking out on our own, a person at a time, a family at a time, and a community at a time, to build a future worth living as free men and women.... Be warned that the route to Southern renewal will offer hardship, toil, and difficulty. It will require blazing new trails while following ancient directions. It is not a mission for weaklings." The author’s hope is that this audiobook will "rouse the Southern remnant and provide new ideas for action."
