    Kalinka and Grakkle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 6min
    Can a perky little bird with an eye for neatness and a very messy monster find a way to be friends? Kalinka's a showy little bird with an eye for neatness, but her grumpy neighbor Grakkle doesn't care one bit about cleaning. He just wants to relax in his favorite chair and soak his feet in a cool bucket of pickle juice.  "Grakk!" he complains as Kalinka "tidies up" his messes.  "You're welcome," she responds.  They simply aren't on the same wavelength. Can an unfortunate accident, plus a little humor and empathy, help an odd couple like this see eye to eye? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eevin Hartsough.

    A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder, Hörbuch, Digital, 189min
    Ever since Einstein's study of Brownian Motion, scientists have understood that a little disorder can actually make systems more effective. Yet most people still shun disorder or suffer guilt over the mess they can't avoid. With a spectacular array of true stories and case studies of the hidden benefits of mess, A Perfect Mess overturns the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, organization, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abrahamson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones. Applying this idea on scales both large (government, society) and small (desktops, garages), A Perfect Mess uncovers the ways messiness can trump neatness, and will help you assess the right amount of disorder for any system. Language: English. Narrator: David H. Freedman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hach/000002/bk_hach_000002_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Best of Car Talk (USA), Power to the People, February 6, 2016, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week on The Best of Car Talk, how can Doug diplomatically tell his wife she's a slob when it comes to cars, and should his new car be a stick shift, so she can't drive it? Ray's telling of his wife's turn from neatness to the dark side provides a cautionary tale. Also, on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Richard resorted to shock therapy to get his pet goats to stop climbing on his cars, and if Richard's girlfriend Doris started speaking to him again. And, why did Paul go to a cobbler instead of a body shop when his gas pedal fell through the floor of his Datsun? All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: February 6, 2016] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/cart/160206/rt_cart_160206_sample.mp3.

    Rethinking Period Boundaries (eBook, ePUB)
    Periodisation is an ever-present feature of the grammar of history-writing. As with all grammatical rules, the order it imposes can both liberate and stifle. Though few historians would consider their period boundaries as anything more than useful guidelines, heuristic artifice all too easily congeals into immovable structure, blinkering the historical gaze. Researchers of literature are, of course, challenged by similar dilemmas. Here, too, the neatness of periodisation can obscure the cultural output of awkward individuals that do not fit the right chronological corset, whilst also creating unfounded expectations of shared experience and expression.Rather than discard periodisation altogether, in this cross-disciplinary volume an international group of historians and literary scholars presents different ways in which accepted period boundaries in modern European history can be challenged and rethought. To do so, they explore unnoticed continuities, and instances of delayed cultural transfer that defy easy periodisation; adopt the perspective of social groups that standard periodisation schemes have ignored; and consider how historical actors themselves divide up history and how this can affect their actions.

    Notice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
    I didn’t notice her before... but now I do. The shiny strands of gold in her silky brown hair. Tiny crinkles between her eyebrows when she frowns. Her passion for neatness. Once I focus on her, I can’t take my eyes from my newest obsession. Ever. I need to know everything about her. Her past. Her present. The way she takes her coffee. Exactly how she smells after a spritz of perfume in the mornings. She’s perfect in every way, and I was blind. But, God, now do I see. I notice the organized way she arranges her clothes in her closet. How she visits the same market each Saturday. The sounds of her breathing as I lie beneath her bed in silence. Violet is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet. Warning: Notice is a dark and unusual romance. Extreme sexual themes and violence in certain scenes, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to dark themes, then this story is not for you. If you aren't into super obsessive stalkers, then this story is not for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kylie Stewart, Eric Roilon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/102894/bk_acx0_102894_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
