Its extreme popularity down the years has lent this gun a romance that has lingered to the present. The Springfield 1903 Rifles is a book worthy of its legendary subject. It is the massive lifetime work of the rifle's premier authority, William Brophy. His exhaustive research took Brophy into some of the rarest collections in existence. These are reflected in the book's more than 1,500 superb, first-quality photos, which represent the Springfield Armory; the Navy Museum in Quantico, Virginia; the U.S. Army Historical Institute; and Colonel Crossman's collection, among others. Such extensive documentation makes The Springfield 1903 Rifles a history classic.

Stella Nickell's small-time world was one of big-time dreams. In 1986, her biggest one came true when her husband died during a seizure, making her the beneficiary of a $175,000-plus insurance payoff - until authorities discovered that Bruce Nickell's headache capsules had been laced with cyanide. In an attempt to cover her tracks, Stella did the unconscionable. She saw to it that a stranger would also become a 'random casualty' of cyanide-tainted painkillers. But Stella's cunning plan came undone when her daughter Cynthia notified federal agents. And troubling questions lingered like the secret of bitter almonds...

The Soldiers' Story: Vietnam in Their Own Words , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 817min
Most history-minded Americans have discussed the Vietnam War, becoming familiar, at the very least, with the names of such pivotal events as the Siege of Khe Sanh, the Tet Offensive, and the Fall of Saigon. But to grasp the full impact of this agonizing conflict, the human costs of an infernal war that raged for 10 years and took more than 58,000 American lives, one must hear about it from the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who experienced the fighting and endured. In The Soldiers' Story, veteran journalist Ron Steinman gathers the candid reminiscences of 76 men who survived combat in Vietnam. Not a military analysis or political study, this oral history vividly conveys the hardships, friendships, fears, and personal triumphs of marine, army, air force, and navy veterans - each of whom shares memories that have lingered to this day. It is a valuable frontline record of battle-torn Vietnam from the perspectives of those who lived it firsthand, giving us a window into the horror, intensity, and raw courage that the war engendered. ungekürzt.

Sitter Wants More , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min, (USK 18)
She slid her hand under her waistband; feeling the top of her finely trimmed hair. Her delicate fingers lingered there, twisting and playing with it between her fingers. Slowly, she moved her hand lower until the tip of her middle finger rested on her swollen clit. The tip of her finger slid across her well lubricated labia, and then inside of her. She arched her back and tipped her head back as the pleasure began to envelope her. She moved her finger in circles over her clit and her breathing became short and quick. Her thighs were tightening on her hand as she rubbed her clit furiously with her thumb and inserted two fingers inside of her. Her in and out motion became increased until she felt it. That moment of utter pleasure swept over her like a tornado in North Texas. She quivered and shook, her panties and fingers soaking wet from her orgasm. Rush after rush came and it felt like minutes, but it was only a few seconds. Her fingers remained inside of her, the movement stopped for the time being.

The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
The Outermost House is a classic of American nature literature. In 1926, Henry Beston spent two weeks in a two-room cottage on the sand dunes of Cape Cod. He had not intended to stay longer, but, as he later wrote, "I lingered on, and as the year lengthened into autumn, the beauty and mystery of this earth and outer sea so possessed and held me that I could not go." Beston stayed for a year, meditating on humanity and the natural world. In The Outermost House, originally published in 1928, he poetically chronicled the four seasons at the beach: the ebb and flow of the tides, the migration of birds, storms, stars, and solitude. The landscape was his major character, and his writing provides a snapshot of the Cape, a place physically changed yet still as soulful 80 years later. Like Henry D. Thoreau before him, and Rachel Carson after him, Beston was a writer of stunning beauty, importance, and vision. Robert Finch once wrote of him, "His are burnished, polished sentences, richly metaphoric and musical, that beg to be read aloud." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brett Barry.

Into the Woods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 212min
Into the Woods is a novel of suspense set in the late 16th century by Josh Soule. John, Thomas, and Henry had grown up in the small village of Carn and were now adults and still the best of friends. They were each different. John's artistic inclinations had led him to leave their village to study art in Paris, but while he knew he would always miss that city, he was coming home to Carn for good.And while they had played together as kids as they were growing up in Carn, some things didn't change. The woods were still as dark and foreboding as they had been years earlier, when the three friends would dare each other to enter. The ancient legends of evil monsters still lingered in the minds of each of them. Thomas had taken to staying awake at night now to protect his herd from predators, yet a moment's rest had given something ample time to slaughter one of his cows. Thomas wanted the men of Carn to rise up and confront the beast, but the others were not so sure. When the three friends unite to solve this mystery, they soon discover that the truth about the creature is much more troublesome than they ever feared. ungekürzt. Language: English.
