    How to Start Writing (and When to Stop): Advice for Writers
    In this witty "how-to" guide, Wislawa Szymborska has nothing but sympathy for the labors of would-be writers generally: "I myself started out with rotten poetry and stories," she confesses in this collection of pieces culled from the advice she gave-anonymously-for many years in the well-known Polish journal Literary Life.       She returns time and again to the mundane business of writing poetry properly, that is to say, painstakingly and sparingly. "I sigh to be a poet," Miss A. P. from Bialogard exclaims. "I groan to be an editor," Szymborska responds.       Szymborska stubbornly insists on poetry's "prosaic side": "Let's take the wings off and try writing on foot, shall we?" This delightful compilation, translated by the peerless Clare Cavanagh, will delight readers and writers alike.        Perhaps you could learn to love in prose.

    John D. Hertz: Yellow Cab, Trucks, and Rental Cars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
    Here's a biographical profile of John D. Hertz, a prolific industrialist and founder of several famous companies. Yellow cabs are as prosaic to America as black taxis are to London. In 1915, Hertz formed Yellow Cab in Chicago and painted his taxis yellow after the University of Chicago determined it was the most distinct color at a long distance. In a single decade, yellow cabs sprouted from Chicago to more than 1,300 American cities.Hertz went on to establish the largest rental car company, the largest taxi cab manufacturing company, and teamed up with uber-titan Floyd Odlum to take over other industrial giants, from Paramount and RKO to TWA. B.C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, called the Hertz story "one of the most inspiring and most illuminating romances of modern American business." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Germany: Memories of a Nation, Audio-CD
    A major new series from the makers of A History Of The World In 100 Objects, exploring the fascinating and complex history of Germany from the origins of the Holy Roman Empire right up to the present day. Written and presented by Neil MacGregor, it is produced by BBC Radio 4, in partnership with the British Museum. Whilst Germany's past is too often seen through the prism of the two World Wars, this series investigates a wider 600-year-old history of the nation through its objects. It examines the key moments that have defined Germany's past - its great, world-changing achievements and its devastating tragedies - and it explores the profound influence that Germany's history, culture and inventiveness have had across Europe. The objects featured in the radio series range from large sculptures to small individual artefacts and items that are prosaic, iconic and symbolic. Each has a story to tell, a memory to invoke.

Wayward nights out that don’t go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love.For every woman surviving and thriving in today’s world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone. ungekürzt.

    Break from the Pack: How to Compete in a Copycat Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min
    Everywhere, products are being commoditized, services are being imitated, and traditional barriers to market entry are collapsing. To sustain competitive advantage in today's copycat economy, companies must break from the pack. This book will show you how. Oren Harari starts by touring "commodity hell" and identifying 10 common mistakes that keep companies trapped in the pack. Next, Harari introduces six strategies for propelling your organization where competitors can't follow. Learn how to dominate markets (and when to leave them), how to create a "higher cause" that will mobilize stakeholders, and how to build a pipeline of cool, compelling products in any industry. Harari reveals new ways to take customers far beyond mere satisfaction and shows how to innovate in even the most prosaic areas of a business. Learn how to avoid destructive mergers and buy what really matters: talent, imagination, foresight, speed, rebelliousness, and inspiration. Finally, Harari offers a candid 12-step program for transforming leadership behavior to lead the charge and leave competitors in the dust. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stow Lovejoy.

    Drachen 4: Clerical Errors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    Daavi and Millie think they're in for a treat. They're taking Molly and Merrin - Millie and Daavi's new twins - packing their bags, and hopping a boat headed to Belvique for their assignment. Daavi's been hired, along his accounting systems designer Fran, and Motormouth - Fran's friend and interpreter - to set up accounting systems for three tiny neighboring countries. They're mistakenly looking forward to a quick, easy job, followed by a week of prosaic scenery, some well-earned, highly paid time away in the beautiful countryside, and souvenir shopping. Not to mention sampling fine cheeses and wines as a bonus. But they hadn't really planned on hobnobbing with the duke and his family, and they really hadn't planned on dealing with the people who their clients hired to install their new infrastructure: the Jenovian church of Belviqe. The church isn't what it seems, and unfortunately for Millie, Daavi, and their mixed-species tykes, one of the sect's main gripes seems to be with mixed-species families and individuals - even though their "high prophet" is one! Laying low might not be an option with dignitaries and tee-vee cameras in their faces, so Millie and Daavi are going to have to be on their toes in this tale of diplomatic discord. They and Fran are going to have to juggle liaisons, ledgers, payrolls, and pontiffs, as well as a surprise appearance from Daavi's ex-wife! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Duffy P. Weber.

    Sourland: Stories of Loss, Grief, and Forgetting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 856min
    A gripping and moving new collection of stories that reimagines the meaning of loss - through often unexpected and violent means. Joyce Carol Oates is not only one of our most important novelists and literary critics, she is also an unparalleled master of the short story. Sourland - 16 previously uncollected stories that explore how the power of violence, loss, and grief shape both the psyche and the soul - shows us an author working at the height of her powers. With lapidary precision and an unflinching eye, Oates maps the surprising contours of “ordinary” life. From a desperate man who dons a jack-o’-lantern head as a prelude to a most curious sort of courtship, to a “story of a stabbing” many times recounted in the life of a lonely girl; from a beguiling young woman librarian whose amputee state attracts a married man and father, to a girl hopelessly in love with her renegade, incarcerated cousin; from a professor’s wife who finds herself tragically isolated at a party in her own house, to the concluding title story of an unexpectedly redemptive love rooted in radical aloneness and isolation, each story in Sourland resonates beautifully with Oates’s trademark fascination for the unpredictable amid the prosaic—the co-mingling of sexual love and violence, the tumult of family life—and shines with her predilection for dark humor and her gift for voice. ungekürzt.

With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein brings you a series of core teachings and guided practices for "looking directly at the nature of the mind and body, at how suffering is created, and how we can awaken and be free." Designed to complement his book of the same title, as a stand-alone tool for daily practice, or for anyone wanting to go deeper in their experience of mindfulness, these profound meditations include: Mindfulness of the Elements—a practice for relating to your body not through concepts but as a constantly changing energy field Mindfulness of Feelings—discover how the experience of our sense perceptions conditions our reactions in the mind and our actions in the world Mindfulness of Mind—how we recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought Big Sky Mind—an expansive practice for resting in a mind that is spacious enough to hold all of our experience in the light of pure awareness "The term 'mindfulness' may seem to indicate something quite ordinary and prosaic," explains Goldstein, "but the quality of mind it refers to has tremendous transformative power in our lives." With Mindfulness, now you have a set of time-tested tools for opening to the ultimate goal of practice: liberation. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Goldstein.
