    The Devil Amongst the Lawyers: A Ballad Novel, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
    In 1934 all the national publications sent their star reporters to remote Virginia to cover the trial of Erma Morton: a beautiful 21-year-old mountain girl with a teaching degree, accused of murdering her father – a drunken tyrant of a man.Four seasoned journalists descend upon the small town – nothing sells papers better than a wronged woman on trial, or descriptions of “backwards” mountain life. Yet instead of rundown shacks and horse-drawn buggies, they found gas stations and coal company executives…but the truth can always be manipulated to suit the audience.Except that among them is Carl Jennings, an 18-year-old novice journalist from Tennessee who accurately reports on the trial and the citizens of the town. So when their articles conflict, Carl is condemned for perjury, while the other journalists sell Erma Morton’s verdict to the highest bidder. Soon, it is not the actual murder that is of interest, but the vultures attracted to the death. In the midst of all this, Carl continues to search for the truth, relying on his younger cousin, Nora – gifted with the “sight” – for help.A stunning return to the lands, ballads, and characters upon which she made her name, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers is a testament to Sharyn McCrumb’s lyrical and poetic writing. ungekürzt.

    Have you ever wanted to change one thing in history? Of course you have. Now, imagine you were changing history - not for yourself - but for America!T.R.Hendrick's new book titled What If They Knew is changing America by asking the questions you want answered. Follow Dr. Carver Benton as he explores his only wish: to have the signers of the Constitution shore up the words that future legislators have manipulated away from their original intent. Is this possible? It is, for a team of scientists and historians when they bring a handful of our nation's builders to the year 2025 by secretly creating the world's most dangerous tool: time travel.Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and a few others marvel at what history has produced. Spending several months in classrooms, they learn how the following two centuries have played out. From silent movies to IMAX theaters and horse-drawn buggies to massive airplanes. Then, gaining first hand experience on the streets, they breathe in how their American experiment has turned out, which includes the polarity of our failing political system of today! Emotions erupt in nearly every way!Ultimately, they must return to their own time before the constitution is signed. What will history show America once they go back? Will they succeed in rewriting history? What happens if they fail? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Wright.

    The Old Man and Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
    The Old Man and Me is a collection of true stories that describe with humor and love the best of the friendship that grows between a father and his son. The stories begin with vignettes from toddlerhood, and cover all the ages from then to high school graduation (and a little bit beyond). The Old Man and Me taken as a whole is a story of love and joy and growing up in a time before television became an all evening affair. There is the joy of discovering that the farm the family just bought comes with a pony, and the sorrow of the loss of a beloved pet. The stories include the best birthday a 12-year-old boy ever had (even if it was his last one for a dozen years), and a family Christmas the reader will never forget. There is the story of a car with murder on its mind, and of a township-wide pet show that was the talk of the school. In the days of the book, boys made swords and shields, and girls played with dolls and buggies. Boys and girls explored woods and fields, and work, whether chores or paid, was an escape from boredom. Hunting with the Old Man was a sport, a bonding time, and a necessary supplement to what we raised and grew. He was inventive at both work and play. The stories describe the author's young life, but also stand in for thousands of father-son relationships that are never told. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arrowhead Studios, Karl Leuba.

    Healing the Amish Scar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    Farmer Burton owned the farm down the road from the Amish community, and he had very little to do with them since his late wife had been asked to leave their land after chasing an escaped horse from their fields. When in town he would sneer at the Amish if he saw them in their buggies or in the shops getting groceries. He made certain that he and his 20-year-old daughter Amy had nothing to do with them.It was late Summer and he was spending time by the road fixing his fence when every day a polite young Amish man (Aaron) would walk by and say hello, and even pass the time inquiring as to what he was up to, and even offer to help a little with heavy lifting.One day as he was painting the fence posts his daughter Amy was bringing some water to drink as Aaron walked by. Aaron paused and talked to Farmer Burton but all the time his gaze was obviously upon Amy and as Amy blushed, Burton noticed and shouted him away with shameful scorn.That night a raging storm blew and much of the farmers hard work was damaged. Aaron saw the damage and tidied it all up for him despite the protests from Farmer Burton. A moment of magic later occurred that changed everything for the farmer, even when he had to step in during a confrontation that was about to get ugly. Would the gesture be enough o allow love to blossom, or would traditions prevent love from winning the day? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Fria.

    Fatal Descent: Andreas Lubitz and the Crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
    The definitive investigation into the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 and the mind of the copilot who committed the most shocking crime in aviation history. On March 24, 2015, Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into the French Alps. All 144 passengers and six crew members were killed. In the ensuing days, a picture of the flight's harrowing final moments began to emerge. Shortly after reaching cruise altitude, a 27-year-old first officer named Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit, took control of the plane, and deliberately caused its descent. In Fatal Descent, journalist and aviation expert Jeff Wise travels to Lubitz's hometown in Germany and pieces together a definitive and haunting portrait of the killer and the system he betrayed, revealing in heart-pounding detail how a lifelong superachiever like Lubitz could have committed such an unthinkable act, what actually happened inside the cockpit, and whether current airline regulations leave us vulnerable to similar attacks in the future. Jeff Wise is a science journalist specializing in aviation and psychology. He is the author of the best-selling Kindle Single The Plane That Wasn't There, about the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. A licensed pilot of gliders and light airplanes, he also has stick time in powered paragliders, trikes, World War II fighter planes, Soviet jet fighters, gyroplanes, and zeppelins as well as submarines, tanks, hovercraft, dog sleds, and swamp buggies. A contributing editor at Travel + Leisure magazine, he has written for New York, The New York Times, Time, Businessweek, Esquire, Details, and many others. His Popular Mechanics story on the fate of Air France 447 was named one of the Top 10 Longreads of 2011. His last book was Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger. ungekürzt.

    Peculiar Ground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1060min
    In the 17th century, a wall is built around the deer park of a great house. Wychwood is a world in itself, its ornamental lakes and majestic avenues planned by Mr Norris, a master of the new art of landscaping. A world where, after decades of civil war, everyone has something to hide or something to fear, where dissidents hide in the forest and Londoners fleeing the plague are at the gate. Three centuries later, one hot weekend, there is a house party at Wychwood. Over the course of the weekend another wall goes up, dividing Berlin. Erotic entanglements blur, with distant rumours of historic changes, and a little girl, Nell, observes all. As Nell grows up, and as the Berlin Wall falls, the world splits again. There are TV cameras in the dining room, golf buggies in the park and a Great Storm brewing. A fatwa alerts Westerners to a new ideological fault line. A refugee from the new conflict, the one which is still tearing us apart, seeks safety in Wychwood. From the author of The Pike, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, the Duff Cooper Prize and the Costa Biography Award, comes a feast of a book. Peculiar Ground is a breathtakingly ambitious, beautifully written novel about young love and the pathos of aging, about gamekeepers and aristos, agitators and witches, about fantasies of magic and the reality of the land, and about frontiers and fortresses and secret gardens. Full list of narrators includes Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Anna Bentinck, and Maggie Ollerenshaw. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    I Wish I Had Never Been Born: Rediscovering Abraham Lincoln , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 127min
    July 21st, 1861. Bull Run, Virginia. It was a fine day for a battle. Hundreds of spectators from Washington took the day off to tag after the army. They came in buggies and on horseback, riding seven long hours in the hot Virginia sun. Mostly men, a few women, a host of politicians among them Ohio Senator Ben Wade, New York Congressman Alfred Ely, and Illinois Congressman Elihu Washburne. English war correspondent William Howard Russell reported, “The spectators were all excited, and a lady with an opera glass who was quite beside herself when an unusually heavy discharge roused the current of her blood...'that is splendid, oh my, is not that first rate? I guess we will be in Richmond to-morrow,' she exclaimed”. An officer told them, “We are whipping them good! “and a cheer went through the crowd. Later that afternoon many of the spectators were caught in the wild frenzy of Union troops stampeding their way back to Washington in a disorganized unruly retreat. For Abraham Lincoln the defeat at Bull Run meant only one thing. It was going to be a long war, with no quick end in sight. He told A. G. Riddle, “I am the President of one part of this divided country at least, but look at me! I wish I had never been born! I've a white elephant on my hands, one hard to manage. With a fire in my front and rear, having to contend with the jealousies of military commanders and not receiving that cordial cooperation and support from Congress that could reasonably be expected, with an active and formidable enemy in the field threatening the very life blood of the Government, my position is anything but a bed of roses.” I Wish I Had Never Born is a quick easy read following the life of Abraham Lincoln. You'll learn about his early days, his loves, his disappointments, his rise to power, and his assassination. And, yes, we will talk about that annoying rumor of Lincoln being gay. Say it isn't so Abe? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Rieman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/018450/bk_acx0_018450_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
