Sinossi

Underground Worlds unearths the hidden history beneath our feet, exploring subterranean cities, tunnels, and bunkers that reveal human resilience. These aren't just holes in the ground; they're testaments to survival strategies, like the ancient city of Derinkuyu, built to withstand external threats, and Cold War bunkers, reflecting anxieties of a nuclear age. From architecture to history, the book examines the motivations and ingenuity behind these constructions, showcasing how societies have adapted to adversity throughout time.

 
The book's approach bridges history, archaeology, and architecture to understand human motivations, rather than simply cataloging structures. Examining wartime tunnel systems like the Cu Chi tunnels, the book analyzes their strategic role in military campaigns.

 
Progressing chapter by chapter, the book moves from ancient cities to modern survival bunkers, revealing how underground spaces reflect broader societal trends and anxieties.

    Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child.This timely and thought-provoking audiobook will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once).  Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    24 Stunden Aus Dem Leben Einer Frau

    Die elegante 67 jährige englische Dame Mrs. C. erzählt von den außergewöhnlichsten 24 Stunden ihres Lebens vor über 20 Jahren: Die aufrüttelnde Begegnung mit einem verzweifelten Spieler ändert schlagartig ihr Leben. Sie kommt dabei den seelischen Abgründen von haltloser Leidenschaft beim Spiel und in der Liebe gefährlich nahe. Der österreichische Schriftsteller Stefan Zweig ist zweifellos einer der größten Erzähler Europas. Jeder Satz funkelt in sprachlicher Schönheit und strahlt in überwältigender Bildhaftigkeit. Die psychologisch feingezeichneten Figuren offenbaren präzise und brillant, wieviel unter der kontrollierten Oberfläche der Konvention verborgen liegt. Das Duo Phantasma mit Michael Stülpnagel (Erzähler) und Johannes Weigle (Soundtrack) bringt die Worte zum Klingen und Sie erleben diese mitreißende Novelle durch die Kraft der Phantasie in ihrer ganzen Einzigartigkeit. Gekürzte Lesung.

    It’s the year 2004 A.D  
    JuandreAt twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be.   
    When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams, and ask for what I wanted.Juandre and Andrew’s Story—Before the Doomsday of 2046 A.D.
