    Sharing the Wealth: My Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Sharing the Wealth is the incredible true story of how a $40 a week baker became a multi-millionaire owner of a Super Bowl NFL team and an unprecedented philanthropist. The road Alex Spanos took to riches was not a common one. Without the advantages of money, background, education, or connections, Spanos relied on his own heart and determination to achieve success. Spanos recounts how his first gamble was his hardest and most important. As a husband and father of one child, with a second on the way, Spanos was barely making ends meet working in his father's bakery. When his father refused to give him a raise to equal the going rate for bakers, he walked out, vowing never to return to his father's employ. His first venture, selling bologna sandwiches to migrant workers, was earning $700,000 annually just five years after he left the bakery. He ultimately made his fortune in the construction business, becoming the #1 builder of apartments in America. Sharing the Wealth also shares the personal side of Alex Spanos. He struck lasting friendships with such celebrities as Bob Hope and Telly Savalas. He was given the key to the city of San Francisco, he provided relief funds after floods ravaged Northern California, and assisted with humanitarian aid when an earthquake struck Greece. Whenever a need arose, Alex Spanos was there to help. Finally, Spanos shares his odyssey of first buying an NFL team, and then ultimately reaching the Super Bowl. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    When Mockingbirds Sing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
    Billy Coffey has been compared to both Flannery O'Connor and Shirley Jackson. Journey with him to Mattingly, Virginia, and discover what marks the boundary between a miracle from God and the imagination of a child. "An inspirational and atmospheric tale." (Library Journal, starred review of When Mockingbirds Sing) Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. After her family moves to Mattingly, she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town takes notice. Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on - there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man. The town minister is unraveled by the notion that a mere child with no formal training may be hearing from God more clearly than he does. While the town bickers over what to do with this strange child, the content of Leah's paintings grows darker. Still, Leah insists that the Rainbow Man's heart is pure. Then a dramatic and tragic turn of events leaves the town reeling and places everyone's lives in danger. The people of Mattingly face a single choice: Will they cling to what they know - or embrace the things Leah believes in that cannot be seen? "This intriguing read challenges mainstream religious ideas of how God might be revealed to both the devout and the doubtful." (Publishers Weekly)Includes a sneak peek at Coffey's novel The Curse of Crow Hollow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabe Wicks.

In British Columbia you will find White Rock Players Club, a 100-year-old playhouse that has more than its share of ghostly characters. The Four-Mile House, an upscale restaurant that was once a bordello, contains entities in search of mischief and vengeance. At the Beban House, a mysterious ghost child can be found slamming doors, hurling objects, and frightening visitors. And don't forget Andrade House, where an eccentric artist shares his studio with the ghost of a young woman. Moving on to Ontario, we find the Bytown Museum at the gateway to the Rideau Canal, which may also be a gateway to the paranormal, as well as Sax's Fish and Chips, which is home to as many as 16 spirits. The Halifax Club in Nova Scotia is a private gentlemen's club known for its elite membership, and the ghosts of some men still call it home. Canadian ghosts are also fond of the water. In St. John, New Brunswick, the frigate Genii was lost with all hands, but one sailor lingers on in spirit, haunting both the beach where his lifeless body washed ashore and the nearby mansion where he was laid out for burial. In Quebec a 30-foot lake monster stalks the peaceful waters of Lake Memphremagog. In British Columbia a decommissioned freighter known as the Queen Mary is haunted by a foul-tempered ghost with an appetite for destruction.

    Ask Not: The Inauguration of John F. Kennedy and the Speech That Changed America, Hörbuch, Digital, 340min
    A close-up on one of American history's most splendid events, JFK's inaugural week, and the creation of the speech that inspired a generation and brought hope to a nation. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." On the January morning when John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency and stood to speak those words, America was divided. Citizens around the world were torn by fears of war. Kennedy's speech, called the finest since Lincoln at Gettysburg, the most memorable of any 20th-century American politician, did more than reassure: it changed lives, marking the start of a brief, optimistic era of struggle against "tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself". Ask Not is a beautifully detailed account of the week leading up to the inaugural which stands as one of the most moving spectacles in the history of American politics. At the heart of the narrative is Kennedy's quest to create a speech that would distill American dreams and empower a new generation. Clarke's portrait of JFK during what intimates called his happiest days is balanced, revealing the president at his most dazzlingly charismatic (and cunningly pragmatic). As the snow gradually covers Washington in a blanket of white, as statesmen and celebrities arrive for candle-lit festivities, Kennedy, an obsessed perfectionist, pushes himself, his family, and advisors to the limit to create greatness, to find the words which captured what he most truly believed and, as it happened, which far outlasted his own life. For all who seek to understand the fascination with all things Kennedy, the answer is here. Ask Not explains the phenomenon to the heart and mind. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Herrmann.

    The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty, Hörbuch, Digital, 350min
    President George W. Bush leads our nation in a time of unprecedented peril. But how well do we really know him or his remarkable family, whose history often mirrors the history of America? Now, in the first full-scale biography of the Bushes, Peter and Rochelle Schweizer trace the extraordinary trajectory of their rise to power. Through a series of exclusive, surprisingly candid interviews with members of the family and close friends, the inner workings of this very private family are revealed: their marriages and friendships; the intense sibling rivalry between George W. and Jeb Bush; divisions between father and son over the Iraq war; even Jeb Bush's plans to run for president in 2008. Never-before-seen private photos add even greater detail and depth to this fascinating family portrait. And above all, we see George W. Bush the way his family does, as an intensely driven person who has a much more complex relationship with his father than has often been portrayed in the media. Family members talk about how he deals with the stresses of the war on terrorism, why he sees it as a "religious war," and how his personal faith influences what he says and does. The Schweizers also delve into the Bushes' sensitive and secret business dealings, including their long history of involvement in the oil business. Their shrewd alliances with other American dynasties, including the Kennedys, Rockefellers, and Tafts, have all helped to quietly consolidate their power within the Republican Party. Indeed, what makes the Bushes so successful is that they function less like the great political families before them and more like a high-tech startup: free-flowing, pragmatic, and opportunistic. It is this distinction that assures them an enduring presence on the nation's political stage, making The Bushes essential reading for anyone who cares about America's future. Language: English.

This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better..... Elizabeth London Gildan Media, LLC 2010-06-15 15:39:11 468 B004V2NCT4 English - Self-Development English 1.00 9.95 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/gdan/000408de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/000408/bk_gdan_000408_sample.mp3 There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon, we cut back on sleep. There has to be a better way - and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. They focus on what they do best and what only they can do. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. It's not always easy, but the payoff is enormous. Vanderkam shows that it really is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter. The key is to start with a blank slate and to fill up your 168 hours only with things that deserve your time. Of course, you probably won't read to your children at 2:00 am, or skip a Wednesday morning meeting to go hiking, but you can cut back on how much you watch TV, do laundry, or spend time on other less fulfilling activities. Vanderkam shares creative ways to rearrange your schedule to make room for the things that matter most. 9781596595934 N N ©2010 Laura Vanderkam;(P)2010 Gildan Media Corp http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) 17.95 AVAILABLE Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Carla Collins Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags is original, edgy, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny.....

Lewitt While some semblance of stability has returned to the financial markets, the economies on which these markets must ultimately depend remain structurally weak.... Erik Synnestvedt Gildan Media, LLC 2010-06-15 00:06:46 591 B004V0LVOE English - Nonfiction English 1.00 9.95 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/gdan/000410de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/000410/bk_gdan_000410_sample.mp3 While some semblance of stability has returned to the financial markets, the economies on which these markets must ultimately depend remain structurally weak, and the path toward sustained growth will be difficult. In order to set the economy on a sounder path, we need to understand the sources of instability that caused the failure of the financial system, rethink established ideas, and challenge the intellectual and moral authority of the institutions that control the world's capital. Written by respected portfolio manager and longtime investment professional Michael Lewitt, The Death of Capital looks at how, in recent years, the U.S. economy has increasingly been dominated by short-term speculation rather than productive investment, debt rather than equity, and short-term thinking rather than long-term planning. These disastrous trends, described here as financialization," ignore the fact that capital is a highly unstable social process rather than a fixed, historical object or category. This timely audiobook: Explores the most important aspects of capital and capitalism through the prism of four of the world's great economic thinkers Addresses "financialization" and its consequences, such as a weaker U.S. dollar, the decline of American industries, and the loss of American economic and political hegemony Examines how the legal system contributed to economic deterioration by privileging short-term profitability above other important societal interests such as labor, the environment, and social welfare Calls for politically controversial reforms such Asks for stricter regulation of hedge funds and private equity firms, banning naked credit default swaps and off-balance sheet financing vehicles, imposition of a Tax on Speculation, and principles-based reforms to improve systemic stability And much more ungekürzt.
