    Discover: Music of the Baroque Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min
    Grandiose and glamorous, Baroque music stands alone, written to glorify the finest courts of Europe, in Italy, France, Germany, England, Austria, and even far-flung Spain. Its greatest composers, such as Vivaldi, Handel and Bach, head a fascinating cast of musical magicians, including Albinoni, Pachelbel, and Scarlatti. Their lives are as intriguing as their music: we find virtuoso performers who earned their bread and butter in the cathedrals of Europe while keeping company with kings and queens, and setting opera houses ablaze across the continent with their fabulous new music. Discover Music of the Baroque Era is rich in musical detail of the time, set against some of the greatest events in history. This engaging introduction, interspersed liberally with music, shows how the works of these composers graced the courts and churches of Europe from 1600 to 1750. It is a fascinating story.

    Men, Machines, and Modern Times: 50th Anniversary Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
    This 50th anniversary edition of Men, Machines, and Modern Times, though ultimately concerned with a positive alternative to an Orwellian 1984, offers an entertaining series of historical accounts taken from the 19th century to highlight a main theme: the nature of technological change, the fission brought about in society by such change, and society's reaction to that change. Beginning with a remarkable illustration of resistance to innovation in the US Navy following an officer's discovery of a more accurate way to fire a gun at sea, Elting Morison goes on to narrate the strange history of the new model steamship, the Wapanoag, in the 1860s. He then continues with the difficulties confronting the introduction of the pasteurization process for milk; he traces the development of the Bessemer process; and finally he considers the computer. While the discussions are liberally sprinkled with amusing examples and anecdotes, all are related to the more profound and current problem of how to organize and manage system of ideas, energies, and machinery so that it will conform to the human dimension. ungekürzt.

    All You Need Is Less: The Eco-Friendly Guide to Guilt-Free Green Living and Stress-Free Simplicity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    Most eco-friendly books start with terror-inducing lists of the carcinogenic chemicals you are liberally slathering all over every single surface in your house, painting most people as unwitting eco-villains, happily Lysol-ing their way straight to hell. Well, listeners can just relax and unpack the (plastic) bags - no guilt trips today! All You Need Is Less is about realistically adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle without either losing your mind from soul-destroying guilt or becoming a preachy know-it-all whom everyone loathes. It's all gotten kind of complicated, hasn't it? This whole eco-friendly thing seems to have devolved into a horrific cycle of guilt, shaming, and one-upping, and as a result people are becoming exhausted. It doesn't have to be this way. It is possible to take baby steps toward a more Earth-friendly lifestyle without stress, guilt, or judgmental eco-shaming. Top eco-blogger Madeleine Somerville is here with really original ideas on how to save money and the planet. Her ideas are even fun! Somerville has emerged as the voice of reason on urban homesteading that is stress-free, sanity-based, and above all - do-able. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine Force.

    The Founders at Home: The Building of America, 1735-1817 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1229min
    Why the American Revolution, of all the great revolutions, was the only enduring success. Through the Founders' own voices - and in the homes they designed and built to embody the ideal of domestic happiness they fought to achieve - we come to understand why the American Revolution, of all great revolutions, was the only enduring success. The Founders were vivid, energetic men, with sophisticated worldviews, and this magnificent reckoning of their successes draws liberally from their own eloquent writings on their actions and well-considered intentions. Richly illustrated with America's historical and architectural treasures, this volume also considers the houses the Founders built with such care and money to reflect their vision for the fledgling nation. That so many great thinkers - Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, John Jay, the Lees of Stratford Hall, and polemicist William Livingston - came together to accomplish what rightly seemed to them almost a miracle is a standing historical mystery, best understood by pondering the men themselves and their profound and world-changing ideas. Through impressive research and an intimate understanding of these iconic patriots, award-winning author Myron Magnet offers fresh insight into why the American experiment resulted in over two centuries of unexampled freedom and prosperity. ungekürzt.

    Shitty Bosses and Asshole Employees: Don't Read This Book! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    The long and short of it: I. Loved. This. It’s insightful, useful, funny, and incredibly easy to relate to. The audience is distanced in the intro and then pulled into the fold in a unique and engaging way. I love the “tough-love” approach; this audiobook takes a hard, honest look at what people can do to change, what best practices and methods are, and what a toxic work environment looks like. Importantly, it refuses to let the listener bypass recognizing their own flaws and weak points, but it also doesn’t make the listener feel alienated or judged for not being perfect.Gold nuggets of wisdom are liberally sprinkled throughout, and I wanted to scoop up every single one because:I really came to like and be engaged with the author’s voice and personaI genuinely felt I was learning life lessons in a way that wasn’t condescending, pretentious, or tedious.The "personal story" touch followed by the psychological breakdown (with examples and questions, no less!) is a really awesome way to get the listener really thinking, processing, and engaged. This audiobook creates space for the listener to feel “in it together” with the author and results in the listener doubling-down on the effort to understand and retain the message. ungekürzt.

    From New Mills to New Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    In this scintillating, heart-wrenching, and tear-eliciting autobiography From New Mills to New Life, Joshua Spencer shares his extraordinary experiences from birth to his 50th year. It starts in Albion, Montego Bay, where the author was born, but where he spent the least of his life of half of a century. It then extends to several other areas of his native land, but finds as its pivot a small, impoverished district known as New Mills, where he spent much time in a little shamble he called home with his grandmother. A home that lacked the basic facilities and necessities such as electricity and water.From New Mills to New Life radiates back and forth to its pivot, but in an orderly, sequential fashion, until it culminates in Canada. It exposes all the challenges and successes that the author experiences in both jurisdictions, including family challenges, being on the verge of bankruptcy, and so on. It describes quite liberally, his weaknesses and his strengths, those challenges he conquers, and those he approaches optimistically in the future.You will cry intermittently, laugh regularly, and even get deeply saddened sporadically, as you share in this masterpiece From New Mills to New Life. ungekürzt.

    2018 Château Léoville Las Cases 2. CRU CLASSÉ ST. JULIEN A.C.
    Falstaff: 100/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholzwürze, feines schwarzes Waldbeerkonfit, ein Hauch von Lakritze und Brombeeren, facettenreiches Bukett. Kraftvoll, extraktsüße, reife Supertannine, mineralisch und sehr lange anhaftend, tolle Frische, reife schwarze Kirschen, wird längere Zeit auf der Flasche brauchen, Riesenpotenzial, ein Wein de Garde.«  James Suckling: 99-100/100 Punkte  »OMG. This shows amazing depth of fruit and density. Full-bodied and so layered with incredible fruit and power. Blackberries. Blueberries. Violets. Hints of dried flowers. Fantastic fruit and tannins, yet agile and energetic. The château says 2016 plus, plus.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 98-100/100 Punkte »“We produced great Cabernet Franc this year,” Directeur Général Pierre Graffeuille told me during my visit to Léoville Las Cases. Even though only 3% of the press wine was added back, he was also absolutely glowing about the quality of this too. And he should be—the finished blend for the 2018 Léoville Las Cases is yet another triumph for this great estate. Composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 9% Merlot, harvested September 15 to October 4 with yields of 35.5 hectoliters per hectare, it has 14.49% alcohol and will be aged in barriques, 90% new. Very deep purple-black in color, it is a little closed to begin, slowly emerging from the glass to reveal subtle woodsmoke, violets, tilled soil and underbrush scents over a core of warm cassis, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly plus hints of rare beef and iron ore. Full-bodied, rich, super concentrated and bursting with latent energy, this is an atomic bomb waiting to go off in your mouth. It has a rock-solid foundation of firm, very ripe, very finely grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the muscular fruit through the epically long, amazingly nuanced finish. Simply breathtaking.«  Wine Spectator: 97-100/100 Punkte »This is backward and dense, with thickly layered plum, blackberry, fig and blueberry reduction flavors wrapped liberally in warm ganache and melted licorice notes. A long echo of smoldering charcoal emerges at the very end. There's a lot to resolve here as the rich and austere sides are still melding, but the extra amplitude doesn't distort anything; it just all goes to 11.« Decanter: 98/100 Punkte  »2018 is another vintage where it's pretty much impossible to find fault with Las Cases, and where you get a kick of happiness from tasting it. Owner Jean-Hubert Delon compares the 2016 to the 1961 and the 2018 to the 1959 - let's all check back in a few decades to see if that's true! But where the 2016 was monumental, this has a subtlety that's rarely seen in such a young LLC. It's not that you'd call this approachable but you rarely see this level of plush density to the fruit at this stage. There's a civilised quality to the structure that makes you think, just maybe, the 2018 will be at optimum drinking before the 2016. You're still getting the complex cigar box and cassis aromatics, with deep, rippling black fruits on the palate accompanied by a cassis and liquorice whoosh and the layering up of dense but fine tannins. It demonstrates precise balance and an exceptionally long finish. All in all, this is a standout St-Julien, . This year sees the lowest percentage of press wine ever used at this estate, coming in at under 3% (it's normally double this), because the wine already had so much structure that the normal level of press wine threw it out of balance. I'm pretty sure that I've never given a drinking window this early for LLC at En Primeur, which says something. 90% new oak. 80IPT. 3.65pH. Yield of 35.5hl/ha. Drinking Window 2028 - 2048«  Wine Enthusiast: 96-98/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. It is the tannins that mark out this powerful wine, presenting a fine balancing act between a firm structure and rich dark fruit flavors. It is the epitome of elegant Saint-Julien, with a welcome mix of weight and freshness.« Weinwisser: 20/20 »80 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 11 % Merlot, 9 % Cabernet Franc, 35,5 hl/ha, 14,49 % vol., 90 % neue Barriques. Tiefes Purpurgranat mit satter Mitte und violettem Rand. Sehr konzentriertes fruchtig-würziges Bouquet mit Wildkirsche, Rosmarin und Heidekraut. Im zweiten Ansatz Alpenheidelbeeren, Graphitspuren, frischer schwarzer tasmanischer Bergpfeffer, rote Johannisbeeren und Veilchen. Am kräftigen, komplexen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst gepaart mit einer unglaublichen Frische, die dem Wein eine grandiose Finesse verleiht. Im katapultartigen Finale mit einem Feuerwerk aus schwarzbeeriger Frucht, tiefschürfender Mineralik und lebendiger Rasse mit einem Touch von Bleistiftmine endend. Ein grossartiger St.-Julien, der sich dieses Jahr vor Ducru die Krone in der Appellation St.-Julien aufsetzt und der zu Recht die Bestnote erhält! Trinken 2025 bis 2055«  Vinum: 18/20 Punkte »Majestätische Tanninstruktur, ungewohnt fruchtiger Ausklang, begleitet vom schwelenden, aber perfekt abgestimmten Feuer; überaus gelungener Balanceakt zwischen Jahrgang und lobenswerter Typizität. 2025 bis 2040«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    The Kokuran , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 631min
    Astrid, a naïve teenage girl, marries Philip, her prince charming who loves and praises her yet later abuses and tries to break her. However, fate then steps in and reveals the lie that gives her strength and the wings to fly, ultimately freeing her from the grip of despair from a marriage steep in ill repair. In the aftermath of her tumultuous marriage and the divorce that follows, Astrid is left unsure of her identity and confused about relationships and her own sexuality. While her exterior is perfectly picturesque, with beauty, intelligence, and a successful career, her interior is severely flawed beyond her awareness. Thus begins her compelling journey of personal growth and self-discovery. In her efforts to transcend her life, she vows to never love, play the victim, or be powerless in relationships again. She liberally sheds her innocence and engages in pleasures from all facets of relationships. It's during these exploits that she unwittingly falls in love with Joey. Their relationship is fiery, passionate, sexually explosive, and all-encompassing of everything she desires in a man, but then it unravels and implodes, leaving her in a deep, dark emotional abyss. But just when she thinks her life is over, she emerges as the Kokuran and discovers the essence of who she is - mysterious, beautiful, audacious, and powerful. ungekürzt. Language: English.
