    What if a society banished its worst nightmare to the far edge of the solar system, destined to sip dregs of light and struggle for the barest living? What if that life thrived, grew, learned, and became far more than anyone ever expected, yearning to return to the sun? What if it didn't share your moral compass in any way? The Glittering Edge duology describes the clash of forces when an advanced society that has filled a solar system with flesh-and-blood life meets the near-AIs it banished long ago. This is a story of love for the wild and natural life on a colony planet, a complex adventure set in powerful space stations, and the desire to live completely - whether you are made of flesh and bone or silicon and carbon fiber. In Edge of Dark, listeners will meet ranger Charlie Windar and his adopted wild predator, who live on a planet that has been raped and restored more than once; Nona Hall, child of power and privilege from the greatest station in the system, the Diamond Deep; and Nona's best friend, a young woman named Chrystal who awakens in a robotic body. ungekürzt.

    There's only one way to win this game: break the rules. James "Barney" Barnwell is losing his ever-loving mind. Between the threat to the white shifters and a riddle he's been ordered to solve, he can't actually go for 10 whole minutes without thinking about Heather, the woman destined to be his mate. As much as he burns to get the redhead under him, the safest place for her is far away from him. If the bad guys catch the barest hint of her scent on his skin, she'll become a target. The way Heather sees it, the quicker she helps the stubborn Bear solve the riddle, the quicker he'll bite her - literally. But when she's hurt while protecting her cousin from an attack, she finds herself right where Barney never wanted her: smack dab in the middle of the investigation. Like it or not, Barney is forced to bring her fully into his crazy world. With his mate's life in his hands, he's in a race against time to solve this maddening riddle before the enemy discovers that the hunter has finally been caught by love. Warning: This audiobook contains explicit sex, graphic language, lots of questions, and maybe even some answers. Remember: Fox holds the key. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samantha Cook.

    The year is 1911. In Cold Spring Harbour, New York, the newly formed Eugenics Records Office is sending its agents to catalogue the infirm, the insane, and the criminal - with an eye to a cull, for the betterment of all. Near Cracked Wheel, Montana, a terrible illness leaves Jason Thistledown an orphan, stranded in his dead mother's cabin until the spring thaw shows him the true meaning of devastation - and the barest thread of hope. At the edge of the utopian mill town of Eliada, Idaho, Doctor Andrew Waggoner faces a Klansman's noose and glimpses wonder in the twisting face of the patient known only as Mister Juke. And deep in a mountain lake overlooking that town, something stirs, and thinks, in its way: Things are looking up. Eutopia follows Jason and Andrew as together and alone, they delve into the secrets of Eliada - industrialist Garrison Harper's attempt to incubate a perfect community on the edge of the dark woods and mountains of northern Idaho. What they find reveals the true, terrible cost of perfection - the cruelty of the surgeon's knife - the folly of the cull - and a monstrous pact with beings that use perfection as a weapon, and faith as a trap. ungekürzt.

    Photographs Not Taken is a collection of photographers' essays about failed attempts to make a picture. Editor Will Steacy asked each photographer to abandon the conventional tools needed to make a photograph - camera, lens, film - and instead make a photograph using words, to capture the image (and its attendant memories) that never made it through the lens. In each essay, the photograph has been stripped down to its barest and most primitive form: the idea behind it. This collection provides a unique and original interpretation of the experience of photographing, and allows the reader into a world rarely seen: the image making process itself. Photographs Not Takenfeatures contributions by: Peter Van Agtmael, Dave Anderson, Timothy Archibald, Roger Ballen, Thomas Bangsted, Juliana Beasley, Nina Berman, Elinor Carucci, Kelli Connell, Paul D'Amato, Tim Davis, KayLynn Deveney, Doug Dubois, Rian Dundon, Amy Elkins, Jim Goldberg, Emmet Gowin, Gregory Halpern, Tim Hetherington, Todd Hido, Rob Hornstra, Eirik Johnson, Chris Jordan, Nadav Kander, Ed Kashi, Misty Keasler, Lisa Kereszi, Erika Larsen, Shane Lavalette, Deana Lawson, Joshua Lutz, David Maisel, Mary Ellen Mark, Laura McPhee, Michael Meads, Andrew Moore, Richard Mosse, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Laurel Nakadate, Ed Panar, Christian Patterson, Andrew Phelps, Sylvia Plachy, Mark Power, Peter Riesett, Simon Roberts, Joseph Rodriguez, Stefan Ruiz, Matt Salacuse, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Aaron Schuman, Jamel Shabazz, Alec Soth, Amy Stein, and others. ungekürzt.

    On January 12, 2010, a major earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Hundreds of thousands of people died, and the greater part of the capital was demolished. Dr. Paul Farmer, U.N. deputy special envoy to Haiti, who had worked in the country for nearly thirty years treating infectious diseases like tuberculosis and AIDS, and former President Bill Clinton, the U.N. special envoy to Haiti, had just begun to work on an extensive development plan to improve living conditions in Haiti. Now their project was transformed into a massive international rescue and relief effort. In his own words, Farmer documents this effort, including the harrowing obstacles and the small triumphs. Despite an outpouring of aid, the challenges were astronomical. U.N. plans were crippled by Haiti's fragile infrastructure and the death of U.N. staff members who had been based in Port-au-Prince. In chronicling the relief effort, Farmer draws attention to the social issues that made Haiti so vulnerable to this natural disaster. Yet Farmer's account is not a gloomy catalog of impenetrable problems. As devastating as Haiti's circumstances are, its population manages to keep going. Farmer shows how, even in the barest camps, Haitians organize themselves, creating small businesses such as beauty parlors. His narrative is interwoven with stories from Haitians themselves and from doctors and others working on the ground. Ultimately this is a story of human endurance and humility in difficult circumstances and seemingly overwhelming odds. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Broke ex-waitresses aren’t supposed to have archenemies.

Now all three of us have targets painted on our backs, and the powerful demon who might be able to protect us is the last person in the three realms we should trust. To survive, we’ll have to rekindle old alliances and rely on friends who have only the barest conception of the danger they’re about to face. One thing is crystal clear - even if we succeed in holding our enemies at bay, my life is about to change in ways I could never have foreseen. As the only demon/fae/human hybrid in existence, I thought I had problems before.

Steffan and Jaelynn Woolf, co-authors of the Circle of Blood saga.  Order book five today, and enter a world shared by humans, fae, demons, and one very reluctant vampire.

    Life is hard, and we need all the help that we can get to live a meaningful life with as little negative stress as possible. Students, especially, struggle with this, while they are still on a process of self-discovery and skills development. What they learn, the coping strategies that they employ, and the friends that they choose will have to sustain them through life.One beacon of light that has gained popularity and traction among the masses is the idea of positive thinking. Proponents of this theory abound, and the internet is chock-full of self-help sites, online counselors, and life colleges. Some are perfectly legitimate, while others have just the barest hint of truth, the rest of their “snake-oil” being made up. This book How to Gain a Positive Mindset: The Perfect Guide to Having and Keeping Positive Mindset for Students. Build Positive Habits, Kill Negativity, and Increase Your Confidence offers a perspective on positive thinking, which is grounded in diverse theories, covering everything from how we think, how we make judgments on the world around us, and how we can realistically change our ways of thinking. Through a creative approach, I find ways to quantify and qualify some important concepts in the field of positive thinking. Complex information is discussed in a way that is appealing to both university students and anyone with an interest in learning how to become a positive thinker and cultivate a positive mind-set. Through analogies, diagrams, pop culture references, and graphic representations, I make intangible concepts - such as, thinking about thinking, how concepts are formed, how these concepts can be changed, and how we make decisions - accessible to the students of positive thinking. Deciding on what is important and what is not, what can be reduced to a grouping or concept, and thinking in terms of concepts is not always a conscious process. It’s not like your brain sends you a checklist at the begin ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathy Heath. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/195721/bk_acx0_195721_sample.mp3.

    New York Times bestselling author Hampton Sides returns with a white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age In the late nineteenth century, people were obsessed by one of the last unmapped areas of the globe: The North Pole. No one knew what existed beyond the fortress of ice rimming the northern oceans. James Gordon Bennett, the eccentric and stupendously wealthy owner of The New York Herald, had recently captured the world's attention by dispatching Stanley to Africa to find Dr. Livingstone. Now he was keen to re-create that sensation on an even more epic scale. So he funded an official U.S. naval expedition to reach the Pole, choosing as its captain a young officer named George Washington De Long, who had gained fame for a rescue operation off the coast of Greenland. De Long led a team of 32 men deep into uncharted Arctic waters, carrying the aspirations of a young country burning to become a world power. On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from San Francisco to cheering crowds in the grip of "Arctic Fever." The ship sailed into uncharted seas, but soon was trapped in pack ice. Two years into the harrowing voyage, the hull was breached. Amid the rush of water and the shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew abandoned the ship. Less than an hour later, the Jeannette sank to the bottom, and the men found themselves marooned a thousand miles north of Siberia with only the barest supplies. Thus began their long march across the endless ice - a frozen hell in the most lonesome corner of the world. Facing everything from snow blindness and polar bears to ferocious storms and frosty labyrinths, the expedition battled madness and starvation as they desperately strove for survival. With twists and turns worthy of a thriller, In the Kingdom of Ice is a spellbinding tale of heroism and determination in the most unforgiving territory on Earth. ungekürzt. Language: English.
