  London, 1889: Victoria is Queen. Charles Darwin's son is Prime Minister. And steam is the power that runs the world.

  Truth in the Dark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min, (USK 18)

  I am not beautiful.... Knife's entire existence has been as twisted as his flesh and his face. The only thing beautiful in his life is his sister. When Gwennie is obliged to turn a suitor down because she fears to leave her brother to the brutality of their village, Knife is desperate for anything to ensure her happiness. Her suitor's cousin offers him a way out, but it won't be easy. Aerie-Smith has been cursed to walk upright in the form of a beast, and his beloved village suffers from the same spell. Aerie-Smith offers Gwen a trousseau and some hope, if only Knife will keep him company on his island for the span of a year and perform one "regrettable task" at year's end. Knife is unprepared for the form the island's curse takes on his own misshapen body. In one moment of magic, he's given the body of his dreams - and he discovers that where flesh meets spirit and appearance meet reality, sometimes the only place to find truth is in the darkness of a lover's arms. ungekürzt.

  The Metamorphosis of U.S.-Korea Relations (eBook, ePUB)

  This book contends that the long history of America's interaction with Korea started with the signing of the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation in 1882, and with the establishment of the Seward-Shufeldt Line. William Seward and Robert Shufeldt shared the same vision of achieving their American goal by opening Korea and extending the Seward-Shufeldt Line from Alaska to link it with the Philippines and the Samoan Islands, thus completing a perfect perimeter for the American era of the Pacific and for its dominance in the Asian market. Initiating diplomatic and trading relations with Korea was Commodore Shufeldt's finishing touch on the plan for achieving American hegemony in the coming 20th century. In turn, the decline of Chinese sphere of influence over the Korean Peninsula and the fall of Russian power in the region, with the consequential rise of Japanese power there, which led to a change from the SS Line to the Roosevelts' Theodore-Franklin Line, the colonization of Korea, the division of Korea, the Korean War, and has brought America back nearly full circle to that first encounter in Pyeongyang; the regrettable General Sherman Incident in 1866. This book argues that the United States must uphold its early commitment to peace and amity by now normalizing relations with North Korea in order to bring closure to the "Korean Question."

  The Illusion of Time: Is Time Our Greatest Enemy? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min

  This book, more or less, demonstrates that time is most likely an illusion, its speed depends on age, and from a physical point of view, time, as such, may not make sense.Why should all this matter to us?Just as people suffered and died, they will continue to suffer and die. I have nothing to say to that. It’s true. And nothing can be done about it.No matter how painfully regrettable it is, such is the invariable nature of time and our world, and how we are able to perceive them.Why did we need philosophizing on this subject? It is possible to understand the obvious flaws of human nature. If it comes to our minds to create worlds (even virtual ones), we should not introduce time into them in such an irreversible and deadly form. In another author’s book Creation Guides, he discusses such possibilities.Time, alas, is invincible, although all our life efforts aim at overcoming the disastrous essence of time. The realization that time is an illusion is the first step in recovering from a ruthless deadly disease, which we call the simple word “life."Perhaps, there is no life after death. Perhaps, our whole existence is nothing more than an illusion, but at least, we tried to realize this. Will it make it easier for us? Hardly. Although, maybe... ungekürzt. Language: English.

  How to Analyze People: Human Psychology Read People Instantly, Read Body Language and Know What People Want, How to Read Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min

  Analyzing people at first glance is natural. We all do it, and there is no point in denying it. Through instinct and experience, some people are better in this process than others. This is also undeniable. However, science and research have made it possible to learn a few ways to make sure the analyses we make of the people we meet for the first time are not based only on instinct and experience but also on undeniable scientific facts. How to Analyze People has the purpose of presenting those ways to the general public, to explain them and to point out the necessity of incorporating them into our way of sizing up people and drawing our conclusions about them. Many texts speak only about the ways of observing the eyes. Other texts refer to the body language or "nonverbal communication", as it has become to be known. A few more texts refer to how the pitch and intonation of a voice carries out the messages. These are all gathered up in one audiobook so that the total sum of the observations that need to be made in order to make our analysis as correct as possible and draw a correct conclusion out of it is brought to common knowledge in the hopes of avoiding misunderstandings and unnecessary emotional outbreaks that may lead to unfortunate and regrettable actions - actions that are unbecoming to a modern and peaceful society.

  One of PopSugar's Top Summer Reads of 2021!An ordinary summer goes royally awry when a prince and princess move next door, bringing their handsome bodyguard with them, from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle.Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day--avid romance reader and anonymous podcaster by night. She has a quiet, reclusive life, taking care of her mother, who lives with mental illness, avoiding her regrettable ex, who bartends in town, and trying to make inroads in the tight-knit island community that still sees her, five years in, as an outsider. And she's happy with how things are--really--until British royals rent the property next to hers and their brooding bodyguard decides she's a security threat. Piper quickly realizes that one person's fairy tale is an ordinary woman's nightmare as a media frenzy takes over the island and each run-in with Harrison Cole is hotter and more confusing than the last. But beneath Harrison's no-nonsense exterior lies a soft heart, one that could tempt a woman who's sworn off attachments into believing in white knights. But when Piper finds herself smack in the middle of a royal scandal that rocks the island she'll need more than Harrison's strong arms to shield her--she'll have to do a little rescuing herself. With careers, hearts, and friendships on the line, Piper and Harrison will have to decide what they're willing to give up for a chance at their own happily ever after.

  Desire to Walk in Long Robes: A Mystery and Transformational Love Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min

  Michael Jacobs is a divorced father of two. He is struggling to pay the bills and seek a direction, while he tries to avoid falling into anxiety and depression. He has always had a shoot from the lip and let the words fall where they may attitude. Along with that, his outward rebellious stance against religious norms has always left him on the outside of them. But this time, by biting his tongue and going along with the “program” for financial security, he has found himself in a regrettable workplace and church quid pro quo. His "30 pieces of silver" goes against every principal he has learned as witnessed firsthand as a child and from the writings of his family history - which he discovered preserved in a set of inherited cookbooks. Worse yet, his conundrum threatens to drag his daughters into the same religious conformities against which he has always fought so hard.Julie Douglas, much the opposite, has rarely stood up for herself, choosing to go along with everything to please others and to “fit in”. With that approach, her past decisions resulted in painful consequences and a grief that she has buried deep within her.On the eve of the Christmas season, can these two dispirited co-workers overcome troubling conventions of their religion, investigate an unraveling secret plot at work - which will force them to contemplate one of the greatest mysteries of Christianity, and turn their blossoming workplace friendship into a full romance with its prospects of a transformational love? ungekürzt.

  The Swamp: Washington's Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism - and How Trump Can Drain It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min

  This program is read by the author. When Washington, DC, was first built, it was on top of a swamp that had to be drained. Donald Trump says it's time to drain it again. In The Swamp, best-selling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom. The presidential election of 2016 was ugly, but it exposed a political, media, industry, and elite establishment that desperately wanted to elect a politician who received millions of dollars from terror-funding states over a businessman willing to tell the corrupt or incompetent, "You're fired". The audiobook concludes with a series of recommendations for President Trump: practical, hard-headed, and concise ways to drain the swamp and force Washington to be more transparent, more accountable, and more effective in how it serves those who have elected its politicians and pay the bills for their decisions. Last year President Trump declared Wake Up America to be a "huge" book; Eric Bolling's second audiobook is sure to build on that success. Entertaining and timely, The Swamp is the perfect audiobook for today's political climate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Bolling.
