  The Story of Western Science: From the Writings of Aristotle to the Big Bang Theory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min

  A riveting road map to the development of modern scientific thought. Far too often, public discussion of science is carried out by journalists, voters, and politicians who have received their science secondhand. The Story of Western Science shows us the joy and importance of reading groundbreaking science writing for ourselves and guides us back to the masterpieces that have changed the way we think about our world, our cosmos, and ourselves. Able to be referenced individually or listened to together as the narrative of Western scientific development, the book's 28 succinct chapters lead listeners from the first science texts by Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle through 20th-century classics in biology, physics, and cosmology. The Story of Western Science illuminates everything from mankind's earliest inquiries to the butterfly effect, from the birth of the scientific method to the rise of earth science and the flowering of modern biology. Each chapter recommends one or more classic books and provides entertaining accounts of crucial contributions to science, vivid sketches of the scientist-writers, and clear explanations of the mechanics underlying each concept. The Story of Western Science reveals science to be a dramatic undertaking practiced by some of history's most memorable characters. It reminds us that scientific inquiry is a human pursuit - an essential, often deeply personal, sometimes flawed, frequently brilliant way of understanding the world. In the tradition of her perennial best seller The Well-Educated Mind, Susan Wise Bauer delivers an accessible, entertaining, and illuminating springboard into the scientific education you never had.

  The Hidden Star of Yehudah

  How does a virtuous young woman who is one of God's own chosen people deal with an undesirable future determined by the plans of a tyrant? Hadassah knows glorious promises that fill the scriptures. She knows the history of God's deliverance and power to those who are His. But now she is abducted and trafficked into a pagan society. Her future looms as shattered dreams. Where is the God of Israel? This new historical novel based on the Bible's book of Esther explores her battle with faith when reality seems to contradict scriptural promises when the most evil of circumstances are forced upon an innocent, young woman. Her cousin Mordecai's love for scripture and his faithfulness to Hashem (God) was instilled into his young adopted cousin's heart and spirit. In her foreign and stressful captivity in the Persian palace of King Ahasuerus, that same love, faith, and trust in Elohe Yisrael, the God of Israel, encouraged and delivered her and her people. The Hidden Star of Yehudah is not written to be a romance novel, but rather as the retelling of the trial of faith in the lives of the Jewish captives in the Persian Empire. This novel will inspire believers in God to trust Him when faced with the plot of the enemy to belittle faith, shatter hope, destroy lives and the wonderful future promised by God to His own. Suitable for teens and adults, the content is laced with humor, lovable and strong characters and some that are of the most vile intent. A wonderful book as a springboard for study groups on Esther's book in the Bible.

  Thirst!

  Prohibition was the law of the land in both Ontario and the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Yet because of the one key difference between Ontario's Temperance Act and America's Eighteenth Amendment, smugglers could make small fortunes transporting Ontario booze through the Great Lakes to harbours in America. Thirst! A Story of Prohibition in Ontario relates the account of how one such smuggling ship, the doomed City of Dresden, ended capsized on a sand bar off the north shore of Lake Erie just west of Port Rowan, Ontario, in late November, 1922. The author details how the local inhabitants handled the liquid cargo and how the prohibition authorities dealt with the local farmers. The use of reminiscences, historical excerpts from newspapers, and a one-hundred-page court record of the trials of the farmers, bring real-life characters to the page, giving readers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of farmers, bootleggers, and government enforcers at the heart of his story. Thirst! also uses the story of the wreck of the Dresden as a springboard to explore some of the main themes related to prohibition: the solidarity of a community when threatened by outside forces; reactions to unpopular laws and those who enforce those laws; how greed can force people to take unnecessary risks; the rivalry between city and village, and the beginning of disillusionment with prohibition itself. Readers having an interest in early twentieth century Ontario history, especially prohibition, and those familiar with Long Point and Lake Erie will find Thirst! A Story of Prohibition in Ontario an enjoyable and informative study.

  The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min

  Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop. To build strength out of adversity, we need a catalyst. What we need, according to Dr. Alex Lickerman, is wisdom - wisdom that adversity has the potential to teach us. Lickerman's underlying premise is that our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but we have the ability to establish a life-state to surmount the suffering life brings us. The Undefeated Mind distills the wisdom we need to create true resilience into nine core principles, including: A new definition of victory and its relevance to happiness The concept of the changing of poison into medicine A way to view prayer as a vow we make to ourselves. A method of setting expectations that enhances our ability to endure disappointment and minimizes the likelihood of quitting An approach to taking personal responsibility and moral action that enhances resilience A process for managing pain - both physical and emotional - that enables us to push through obstacles that might otherwise prevent us from attaining our goals A method of leveraging our relationships with others that helps us manifest our strongest selves Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, los ungekürzt.

  Epiphany Jones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 768min

  Jerry has a traumatic past that leaves him subject to psychotic hallucinations and depressive episodes. When he stands accused of stealing a priceless van Gogh painting, he goes underground, where he develops an unwilling relationship with a woman who believes that the voices she hears are from God. Involuntarily entangled in the illicit world of sex trafficking amongst the Hollywood elite and on a mission to find redemption for a haunting series of events from the past, Jerry is thrust into a genuinely shocking and outrageously funny quest to uncover the truth and atone for historical sins. A complex, pause-resisting psychological thriller, riddled with twists and turns, Epiphany Jones is also a superb dark comedy with a powerful emotional core. You'll laugh when you know you shouldn't, be moved when you least expect it and, most importantly, never look at Hollywood, celebrity or sex in the same way again. This is an extraordinary debut from a fresh, exceptional new talent. Michael Grothaus is a journalist who spent years researching sex trafficking, using his experiences as a springboard for his debut novel, Epiphany Jones. As a writer at Fast Company, Michael tells stories about tech, creativity, personal health, the effects of mass media on our psyches and just plain mysterious stuff. For VICE he tells stories about cultures, subcultures, sex and pornography and has also done immersion journalism at geopolitical events including the Hong Kong protests against Beijing in 2014. As a contributing writer to The Guardian and Know Your Mobile, a features writer for Engadget and the former European editor for AOL's popular tech news site TUAW, Michael regularly writes about all things mobile. He also contributes to the online men's lifestyle magazine Asylum and is a former screenwriter and the author of a dozen tech books published by Pearson and Apress. American born, ungekürzt.
