Hops and Glory [Audiobook]

Hops and Glory [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B00C4O2DT6 | 2013 | 14 hours and 58 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 408 MB
The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world and arrive in perfect condition for a cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with 'IPA' on the label they are a pale imitation of the original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, and the man carrying it is Pete Brown, Britain's best beer writer. Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he make it that far, having fallen in the canal a few miles out of Burton? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the world, what will the real IPA taste like? Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, this is both a rollicking history of the Raj and an entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced.

Hoodoo Herbal Folk Recipes for Conjure & Spellwork with Herbs, Houseplants, Roots, & Oils [Audiobook]

Hoodoo Herbal Folk Recipes for Conjure & Spellwork with Herbs, Houseplants, Roots, & Oils [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B0BFZ77VM1 | 2022 | 6 hours and 48 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 187 MB
Hoodoo Herbal contains detailed information on dozens of roots and herbs. Conjuring tends to be accessible, practical, low-cost magic, and this is reflected in the herbal. For example, snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), a common house plant, readily available from garden stores and supermarkets alike, is valued for its anti-gossip properties and is also worked with to keep lying tongues from disrupting your home. Because its leaves are shaped like a double-edged sword, the snake plant can "cut" through malicious "works" (spells) that may have been sent against you. This book will be of interest to lovers of herbals and students of Southern folkways, as well as the many who seek to put the information into use. In addition to detailed information about a wide variety of plants, there is also practical information about planting seeds and cutting and transplanting plants. In this book of practical plant magic, Starr advises that as the plants thrive and grow, the works for which they are used will grow stronger too.

Hoax The Popish (Catholic) Plot That Never Was [Audiobook]

Hoax The Popish (Catholic) Plot That Never Was [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B0BCHC536M | 2022 | 13 hours and 8 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 362 MB
The extraordinary story of the Popish Plot and how it shaped the political and religious future of Britain. In 1678, a handful of perjurers claimed that the Catholics of England planned to assassinate the king. Men like the "Reverend Doctor" Titus Oates and "Captain" William Bedloe parlayed their fantastical tales of Irish ruffians, medical poisoners, and silver bullets into public adulation and government pensions. Their political allies used the fabricated plot as a tool to undermine the ministry of Thomas Lord Danby and replace him themselves. The result was the trial and execution of over a dozen innocent Catholics, and the imprisonment of many more, some of whom died in custody. Victor Stater examines the Popish Plot in full, arguing that it had a profound and lasting significance on British politics. He shows how Charles II emerged from the crisis with credit, moderating the tempers of the time, and how, as the catalyst for the later attempt to deny James II his throne through parliamentary action, it led to the birth of two-party politics in England.

Hitler's Army Soldiers, Nazis, and War in the Third Reich [Audiobook]

Hitler's Army Soldiers, Nazis, and War in the Third Reich [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B0BDMXXXKT | 2022 | 8 hours and 43 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 239 MB
In Hitler's Army, Omer Bartov focuses on the titanic struggle between Germany and the Soviet Union—where the vast majority of German troops fought—to show how the savagery of war reshaped the army in Hitler's image. Both brutalized and brutalizing, these soldiers needed to see their bitter sacrifices as noble patriotism and to justify their own atrocities by seeing their victims as subhuman. In the unprecedented ferocity and catastrophic losses of the Eastern front, soldiers embraced the idea that the war was a defense of civilization against Jewish/Bolshevik barbarism, a war of racial survival to be waged at all costs.
