Pamela Olson, a small town girl from eastern Oklahoma, had what she always wanted: a physics degree from Stanford University. But instead of feeling excited for what came next, she felt consumed by dread and confusion.

The gripping narrative focuses not only on violence, terror, and politics but also on the daily rounds of house parties, concerts, barbecues, weddings, jokes, harvests, and romantic drama that happen in between.Funny, gorgeous, shocking, and galvanizing, Fast Times in Palestine challenges the way we think not only about the Middle East but about human nature and our place in the world. ungekürzt.

The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
A breakout best seller on how the earth's previous global warming phase reshaped human societies from the Arctic to the Sahara. From the 10th to the 15th centuries, the earth experienced a rise in surface temperature that changed climate worldwide, a preview of today's global warming. In some areas, including Western Europe, longer summers brought bountiful harvests and population growth that led to cultural flowering. In the Arctic, Inuit and Norse sailors made cultural connections across thousands of miles as they traded precious iron goods. Polynesian sailors, riding new wind patterns, were able to settle the remotest islands on earth. But in many parts of the world, the warm centuries brought drought and famine. Elaborate societies in western and Central America collapsed, and the vast building complexes of Chaco Canyon and the Mayan Yucatn were left empty. The history of the Great Warming of a half millennium ago suggests that we may yet be underestimating the power of climate change to disrupt our lives today - and our vulnerability to drought, writes Fagan, is the silent elephant in the room. ungekürzt.

The Allegorhythm: Seeds of Consciousness, Issue #1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
A story of a middle age man named Rudy, who embarked on the journey to save his one and only daughter Malkia, and realized the reality is not what it appears to be. His journey led him to self-discovery and access to his eternal nature. The Allegorhythm is an ancient consciousness prison system. Unlike any other, it paralyses the eternal body of its victims, who are known as M’jukulee. At first, it will try to convince you that your are not dreaming, then it will make sure you never exit its dominance by overstimulating you and keeping you occupied. It will then keep you in the ignorance that the physical reality is the only reality, and your nature is of physical, while it harvests and exploits your eternal nature. Rudy must face the facts that he has been a M’jukulee for some time now, and the only way to exit this system is undergoing the experience he has been avoiding all his life. The story will challenge your fundamental beliefs about your reality. An out of the box science fiction, meant to challenge the definition of technology, science, and spirituality. ungekürzt.

A Killing Season: A Medieval Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
Baron Herbert’s return from crusade should have been a joyous occasion. Instead, he grows increasingly morose, withdraws from his family, and refuses to share his wife’s bed. When his sons begin to die in strange accidents, some ask whether Herbert harbors a dark sin for which God has cursed him. Or perhaps there is a malign presence at this stormblasted castle, oddly named Doux et Dur. The baron sends for Sir Hugh of Wynethorpe, begging his friend to bring spiritual and secular healers but giving little explanation for the request. Worried about Herbert’s descent into melancholy and the tragic deaths, Sir Hugh persuades his sister, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal Priory, to accompany him as well as a respected physician, Master Gamel. Although he is pleased when the prioress brings her healer, Sister Anne, he is dismayed to find Brother Thomas included, a man he has reason to despise. Tensions spark among family members and soon between those who came to help. Death’s scythe harvests more victims, and it is not long before Ecclesiastes’ grim words seem all too apt. But is there also a time to heal? This is the eighth in Royal's Medieval Mystery series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wanda McCaddon.

Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
From the award-winning author of The Triumph of Seeds and Feathers, a natural and cultural history of the buzzing wee beasties that make the world go round. Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They've given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing. As informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Listen to this book and you'll never overlook them again.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.
