Jake's Dragon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min

When you’re 11 years old, it’s tough convincing people to take you seriously. When you’re an 11-year-old savant, it’s exponentially more difficult.Since Jake’s inability to connect with others had made him somewhat of an outcast for most of his life, he’d learned to divert his energy into his artistic talent, creating mesmerizing images capable of literally paralyzing anyone who should gaze upon them.For Jake, it was normal to see and perceive things others were incapable of recognizing, but even he was caught completely off-guard when confronted with the reality that dragons not only exist, but that one of them was destined to become his very own.As the bond between Jake and his dragon evolves and deepens, it becomes increasingly difficult to explain the uncanny occurrences which seem to accompany them, all while keeping the very existence of his dragon a secret.While most people accept the logical explanations for the unusual activities surrounding them, dragoneers are not most people, and they are dead set on capturing Jake’s dragon. ungekürzt.

A Macat Analysis of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min

English naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin first published On the Origin of Species in 1859. The idea of evolution and that all earth's species have descended from a common ancestor had already been around for some time. What was new about Darwin's work was that it found a way to explain evolution using a theory called natural selection. This claimed that species change in small ways, gradually, over long periods of time; the individuals who happen to be best suited to their environment survive, and live to produce lots of offspring. Darwin's theory explained why everything in our world is a perfect fit - without God necessarily pulling the strings. The ideas contained in the Origin of Species changed the thinking of much of the world. Victorian society was outraged at the idea that God had not created life in a perfect form. The Church thought it would lead to people's faith in God crumbling - and even today, there are some religious groups who do not accept Darwin's idea that all life evolves. ungekürzt.
