The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Episode Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min

Here are three more Sherlock Holmes adventures from the pen of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and read by Edward Hardwicke, who has become the definitive Dr. Watson of the 80s and 90s due to the spectacularly successful Granada television series in which he appears with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. The Cardboard Box, which features in the 1994 series, tells the gruesome tale of a parcel containing two severed ears arriving at the home of a reclusive spinster who had no enemies in the world. Who sent them, for whom were they intended and why? The Man with the Twisted Lip tells about the disappearance of a city commuter. What did he do in the city, why did he disappear, and what was his connection with an opium den? In The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans, a man's body is found on the rails of the underground with no ticket in his pocket. Why was he carrying top secret papers and why were three of them missing? These three exciting stories are full of mystery and suspense with the inevitable Conan Doyle coup de theatre at the conclusion of each. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Hardwicke.

My Korean Mom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min

Every immigrant kid knows the feeling: the horror and embarrassment of watching your super-foreign parents muddle through social situations when you've long sold them out and assimilated into the New World. The anguish, anger, and guilt sucks!

My Korean Mom is a bittersweet love letter from Mary H. K. Choi to her mother that hopes to convey the frustration, shame, loyalty, and searing adoration that's part and parcel of being the kid of an immigrant.

The Ottoman Empire: The Untold Story to Its Rise and Fall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min

How did it rise from one man who was given charge of a small parcel of land to an empire that spanned three continents? Why did it begin to lose battle after battle, eventually reaching a point where it was beaten back by its enemies?

These questions and more will be answered through this book as the secrets of the Ottoman Empire are revealed. This book contains a description of the origins and basics about the population of citizens within the empire along with descriptions about each of the 36 emperors' personal rises and falls in their quest to better the empire. Additionally, the contributions the Ottomans made to their empire and beyond to other countries will be described along with the daily life of those within the palace and those without.

Learn or Die: Using Science to Build a Leading-Edge Learning Organization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min

To compete with today's increasing globalization and rapidly evolving technologies, individuals, and organizations must take their ability to learn - the foundation for continuous improvement, operational excellence, and innovation - to a much higher level. In Learn or Die, Edward D. Hess combines recent advances in neuroscience, psychology, behavioral economics, and education with key research on high-performance businesses to create an actionable blueprint for becoming a leading-edge learning organization. Learn or Die examines the process of learning from an individual and an organizational standpoint. From an individual perspective, the audiobook discusses the cognitive, emotional, motivational, attitudinal, and behavioral factors that promote better learning. Organizationally, Learn or Die focuses on the kinds of structures, culture, leadership, employee learning behaviors, and human resource policies that are necessary to create an environment that enables critical and innovative thinking, learning conversations, and collaboration. The volume also provides strategies to mitigate the reality that humans can be reflexive, lazy thinkers who seek confirmation of what they believe to be true and affirmation of their self-image. Exemplar learning organizations discussed include the secretive Bridgewater Associates, LP; Intuit, Inc.; United Parcel Service (UPS); W. L. Gore & Associates; and IDEO. ungekürzt. Language: English.

To Helen Back: A River Road Mystery, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min

In this fun and sassy new mystery, USA Today best-selling author Susan McBride introduces us to Helen Evans, a modern-day Miss Marple who must expose a murderer in a town full of suspects! When Milton Grone turns up dead in tiny River Bend, Illinois, nearly all the would-be suspects have the perfect alibi: attending Thursday night's town meeting. And as Milton was hardly beloved, plenty of folks had reasons to do him in. Grone's next-door neighbor was furious about a fence that encroached on her property, among other wicked deeds. A pair of zealous tree huggers wanted Grone's hide for selling a parcel of pristine land to a water park. Grone's current and ex-wife both wanted a cut of the profits, which Grone seemed unwilling to share. Even the town preacher knew Grone's soul was beyond saving. Though most of River Bend would rather reward the killer than hang him, Sheriff Biddle's not about to let this one go - and neither is Helen Evans. With a penchant for puzzles and an ear for innuendo, Helen quickly fingers the culprit before Biddle puts the wrong suspect in jail. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joyce Bean.

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 394min

Here's a brilliantly gripping and tender story of four best friends, one special summer, and a magical pair of jeans. Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holiday together. The year they turn 16 is the first time they have separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch. Carmen buys a pair of jeans in a second-hand shop, and the girls discover that the trousers magically fit each of them perfectly, despite their different figures and heights. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the vacation, sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right. From Baja, California, to Greece, from film-making to football, the girls and the travelling pants encounter first love, family upset, and fatal illness. Secure in the knowledge that their friendship is constant, and the symbol of it need never be more than a parcel-delivery away, the girls survive their summer and return home with a wealth of new experiences to share. ungekürzt.

The Ottoman Empire: From Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min

The modern Turkish state is one of the premiere powers in the Middle East. She possesses a formidable army and has important relationships and alliances with Western and European powers through her membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). However, many in the West are totally unaware that Turkey, in the very recent past, was the homeland to one of the most enigmatic and powerful empires in history: the Ottoman Empire. You will hear about.... List of sultans People of the Steppe Foundation of bones War machine Coup d’états, corruption, Janissaries, and decline Betting on the wrong horse Autopsy of an empire The images that are evoked when one speaks of the Ottomans in the West is, without fail, Muslims in prayer, harems of exotic women, eunuch guards, lavish palaces, and colorful fashions. All these things, without doubt, were indeed part and parcel of the Ottoman society and their royal court. Conversely, this is an extremely narrow view. Here we will dive into their world, their history, and their society. We do this to better understand the world’s last great old world empire. The rise and fall of the Ottoman juggernaut informs and influences the Middle East to this day. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erich Bailey.
