Here is an audiobook that describes the life of a truly exceptional man:

Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. There is a long tradition of priesthood in this family, beginning with his grandfather. From 1960 until his death Martin Luther King was co-pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.After his theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania he was awarded the B.D. in 1951 and his doctrate degree from Boston University in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott and had two sons and two daughters with Coretta.

In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorale of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. In December, 1955, he lead the great Negro nonviolent demonstration, the ‘bus boycott’. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals.
In 1957 Martin Luther King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, “l Have a Dream”, he met President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested more than twenty times and often assaulted. Martin Luther King was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.

At the age of only thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers, he was assassinated.

In ‘The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.’ by Clayborne Carson King’s life and work is decribe with many examples of it meant at the time to battle against segregation and to stand up for the human rights ob blacks.

Teens are people who are at a personal intersection in their life with many forks and possibilities where to continue their life’s flow. Problem is, they don’t really know yet, so they’ll have to try. And we adults think they should not try but simply listen to us old ones…

Conflict is preprogrammed all the way and in many familes the up to then so harmonious family life is all of a sudden in turmoil and communication slowly or rapidly goes down the drain. Not good and not really necessary. Yes, there will be discussions and disputes with your teenager, that’s OK. But it does not need to end in final and total disagreement, constant fights etc.

I have rencently listened to three excellent audio books that give some really good tips and examples how teenagers and their parents can deal with each other:

• Boundaries with Teens by Dr. John Townsend
• How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
• Teenage Parenting 101 by Don Smith

All three audiobooks should be listened to by parents and teenagers. Why not give one of these to your teen so that he or she can listen to these tips on their iPod?

Drugs in general, and alcohol specifically have played an important role in all cultural societies known to man, as long as history goes back. The fascination of mind expanding drugs has always pulled man in and made him try to what extent these substances could be used. Some use them to be more creative, others to forget.
In the audiobook ‘Drugs and Alcohol’ Dr. Rod L. Evans takes a philosophical look at this development: Drugs and alcohol involve personal habits that have significant social consequences. Some have said that we are a society of drinkers and pill takers; much of this consumption is legal. Should the use of intoxicants, stimulants and drug medications be governed by personal choice or regulation? Which drugs should be legal, and which should be illegal? Is law or persuasion a better method of reform?

His views are a good base to start thinking about the problem yourself. There is no final cut and dried answer to the morality of drugs and the use or abuse… There always two sides to their consumption. Should drugs taken by amateur sportsmen to increase their fitness, power or stamina be allowed, how about for professionals?

When you’re starting to look into the classic literature and especially Shakespeare, you’ll find out that there are many different recordings of the Bard’s plays online. Personally I find that the BBC Audiobook versions are often the ones I like best. But there are other editors who do a good job.

Buying audio books just by the nice pics on the front of the CD has never been my idea of a good buy. Therefore I prefer to visit sites that let me listen to samples. One such site is ShakespeareAudioBook.com which has a great comparative page with the Tragedies written by Shakespeare .

Listening to the samples you get a good idea what the entire recording will be like and I’ve yet to regret a choice I made that way. More sites should do this!

In 2003 Stephen King received the National Book Award.

Each Autumn, in conjunction with the conferring of The National Book Awards in Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Young People’s Literature, the Board of Directors of the Foundation presents a Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

An audio book was made from Stephen King’s acceptance speech at The National Book Awards: King accepts the award with grace and wit. His speech is filled with loving thanks to his wife Tabitha and with a passionate appreciation of his craft. Stephen King also reflects on bridging the gap between literary and popular writers as well as staying true to his work and to himself over the many years. He concludes his speech by saluting all the nominees and with his sincerest hope that “you’ll find something to read that will fill you up as this evening has filled me up.”

Stephen King has enriched our literary heritage over a life of service, or a corpus of work.

100% of publisher and author profits from Building Bridges will be donated to the National Book Foundation.
