Excerpt: Undying Love As I got into the debate room, I noticed that it was already set up for the Presidential Debate Program, with the podium hung with the Presidential Debate seal set in a round medallion that was so big that it covered one-third of the debate podium. They were taking no chances that the seal would be missed in the debate press release. I looked around the room, noting that the opposing team was already there. Their team was five boys and three girls. The minute I locked eyes with him, I knew. I stood transfixed. I barely breathed as he walked toward me. His perfectly coiffed jet-black hair, shaved almost completely on the sides leaving a long straight black rumpled look of his silky, spikey hair in the middle. My eyes were mesmerized by his slightly pink lips as he bit his bottom lip as he walked toward me. After the longest amount of time that anyone could ever have walked across one room, he reached me. He stood right in front of me and Nelly. And he didn't say a word. The silence was deafening. But I waited him out, as my heart pounded a hard-thumping rhythm. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Money Pizza Respect , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 236min
    From the creator of the hugely popular @thefatjewish Instagram comes an outlandish collection of hilarious personal essays and images, which might be the most ridiculous book in the history of arts and letters. If Steven Seagal and Barbara Streisand had drunken sex and conceived a baby boy, he would have show business chops and be proficient in martial arts. That boy would become Josh Ostrovsky, often known as "The Fat Jew". Born and bred in New York City, Ostrovsky's overbearing mother entered him into "the biz" as an eight-year-old with exquisite cheekbones and the singing voice of an angel. He appeared in a plethora of television commercials, and after his child-acting career fizzled, Ostrovsky took 20 years away from the limelight to focus on finding himself, eventually opening a yoga center in Toronto and receiving his MFA in pottery at Middlebury College. JK, he mostly just did drugs. But in 2009, when social media became a thing, he triumphantly returned to a life in the spotlight. He exfoliates daily, plays the harp, bakes his own croutons for every salad he eats, once saved a baby deer with a broken leg who had fallen into a stream, and speaks fluent Portuguese. With an army of followers on social media that often border on fanatical and creepy, he is a "rising" "star" whose backup plan is to marry Suri Cruise when she's of legal consenting age. Channeling the brilliance of his online presence, Money Pizza Respect rolls out one ludicrous story after another - from puking on his grandfather after a debaucherous drunken night to saving his deaf neighbor from a burning building to hiring prostitutes for the sole purpose of reenacting scenes from Mel Gibson's Braveheart. Writer. Plus-size model. Horseback riding enthusiast. Instagram legend. Josh Ostrovsky: The Fat Jew. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material ungekürzt.

    How Change Happens: Why Some Social Movements Succeed While Others Don't , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 428min
    Discover how those who change the world do so with this thoughtful and timely book  Why do some changes occur, and others don't? What are the factors that drive successful social and environmental movements, while others falter? How Change Happens examines the leadership approaches, campaign strategies, and ground-level tactics employed in a range of modern social change campaigns. The book explores successful movements that have achieved phenomenal impact since the 1980s - tobacco control, gun rights expansion, LGBT marriage equality, and acid rain elimination. It also examines recent campaigns that seem to have fizzled, like Occupy Wall Street, and those that continue to struggle, like gun violence prevention and carbon emissions reduction. And it explores implications for movements that are newly emerging, like Black Lives Matter. By comparing successful social change campaigns to the rest, How Change Happens reveals powerful lessons for change makers who seek to impact society and the planet for the better in the 21st century.  Author Leslie Crutchfield is a writer, lecturer, social impact advisor, and leading authority on scaling social innovation. She is Executive Director of the Global Social Enterprise Initiative (GSEI) at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, and co-author of two previous books, Forces for Good and Do More than Give.

    Just for This Moment: Wishful Romance Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
    A madcap modern marriage of convenience tale sure to leave fans begging for more. Maybe there hasn't been actual blood, other than a few paper cuts, but Myles has put plenty of sweat into his independent, local newspaper, and he's even willing to admit to a few manly tears. Certainly, the paper has been his mistress since he moved to the small town of Wishful, Mississippi, and he doesn't feel it's hyperbolic in the least to say it owns a piece of his soul. He's building his dream, independent of the life laid out for him by his family, and that means everything. There's nothing he wouldn't do to ensure its success.   Piper fell hard for Myles when they co-stared in the production of "White Christmas" that saved Wishful's historic Madrigal Theater. Not in love, she's careful to remind herself, but into very serious like, and certainly outrageous, chemistry-fueled attraction. But Piper knows that the bright lights of the stage can wreak havoc with perspective. She's been burnt by them before, when an on-stage passion fizzled into disappointment and heartache. That's why she put on the brakes with Myles, and she admits to herself that the fact that he played by her rules and waited only adds to his appeal.   When Myles tells her that a major investor is pulling out of the paper, leaving him with a huge loan to repay or lose his control over what he's built, Piper is devastated for him. But when he jokingly admits that the best option he's come up with is to marry a showgirl to gain access to a trust fund, well, that just sounds like a plan to Piper. After all, why not take this great guy on marriage test drive? He's worth having just for this moment, however long it lasts. But as their fake marriage turns alarmingly real, they'll have to decide if they're in it for the moment or forever.   Welcome to Wishful, Mississippi, a small town with big hearts, where folks come together to make their dreams come true. ungekürzt.
