Wishing You the Best of Everything Always , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min

Wishing You the Best of Everything Always is a collection of poems by Beverly West Schmidt, inspired by the natural beauty and poetry of all living things. It also includes poems inspired by the author's love of family. Here are some excerpts from a few of her poems: "Perfect Palette" "Amazingly graceful light plays shadow tag with sleepy fog and billowy clouds - awakening autumn's hillside hues...." "Maternal Music" "Softly sweeping, rhythmically sweeping - maternal music continuing - in springtime, in sunshine - in all times. No colorful kerchief needed - flowers provide ample colors and fragrances - maternal memories and dove-soft love - for countless generations to come." "Fox Trot Envy" "She dances divinely on silvered snow, her ebony-tipped auburn coat - sleek in frigid air. Oh, to be so slender. Oh, to be so agile. Oh, to have such shimmering hair - Oh, never-mind. I much prefer my winter den to hers." "As We Journey On" "Let's be sunrise - not sunset. Let's be brightness rising - not dimness declining. Let's be sunrays rosy with joyfulness and awakening. Let's be prisms of infinite inspiration and kaleidoscope colors. Let's be stillness and peace embracing all." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Beverly West Schmidt.

The Swan Riders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min

Greta Stuart has become AI. New transmitters have silvered her fingerprints. New receptors have transformed her vision. And the whole of her memory has become one book in a vast library of instant knowledge. Greta is ready to rule the world. But the new technology is also killing her. Greta is only 16 years old, but her new enhancements are burning through her mortal body at an alarming rate. Of course the leader of the AIs, an ancient and compelling artificial intelligence named Talis, has a plan. Greta can simply do what he's done when the time comes and take over the body of one of the Swan Riders, the utterly loyal humans who serve the AIs as part army, part cult. First, though, Greta will have to find a way to stay sane inside her new self. Talis' plan for that involves a road trip. Escorted by Swan Riders, Greta and Talis set out on a horseback journey across the strange and not-quite-deserted landscape of Saskatchewan. But there are other people interested in Greta, people who want to change the world, and the Swan Riders might not be as loyal as they appear. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madeleine Maby.

Grand Scale Symphony: Anselm Kiefer at White Cube : Cv/Visual Arts Research, Book 241 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min

A review of Anselm Kiefer exhibition at White Cube Bermonday tours room by room, with analytic descriptions of the large scale works on view. Superstrings, the Norms, Gordian Knot One enters the massive White Cube Gallery in Bermondsey and finds oneself in a darkened avenue bordered by large vertical paintings. Vitrines framed with broad metal casing contain accumulations of mixed media, the Superstrings. On closer attention, scrawed on the glass formulas for the scientific specialist, e.g. in Vitrine number 1 to the left reads Vu+xqa i/2 kud(lodk)ekx, whatever that means. Behind this a confusion of coiled cord, tangled loops of white and black lengths, suspended against a bleached-out suggestion of industrial landscape, silhouetted shapes of buildings and chimneys. Another formula scrawled on the glass. V(Nkov):xeinx encased. Are these scientific string theory? (1) In this panel the bunched confusion of cords lies on a silvered textured ground, which may be canvas but resembles parchment. In the fourth vitrine is a mesh of wire squared grid imposed over an absolute forest of black cord, fused and gutted, with white cord disposed at the base. The message seems to be the toppled towers of science, corrupted by the sensual intuitive surge of the artwork. The formulae are reduced to a scrawled nonsense. Vitrine number 6 is a chaotic tangle of elements.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Selbie. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/184401/bk_acx0_184401_sample.mp3.

Now he operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but troubled young daughter who, after a terrible night years ago, fears the horses she once loved.Within their bittersweet private orbit, in the midst of the endless silvered marshlands, Susannah Connolly will find a part of herself she hadn't known she had lost.

Stealthy Steps: Nanostealth, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min

My name is Gemma Keyes. Other than my name, I am utterly forgettable - so those who never paid much attention to me in the first place haven't exactly noticed that I've disappeared. Vanished. Oh, it's much more complicated than it sounds. And let me tell you, invisibility comes with its own set of problems. I should tell you about Dr. Samuel Bickel, world-renowned nanophysicist. We used to work together, but I'll be candid with you: he's supposed to be dead. Well, he's not. Instead of the proverbial "six feet under", he's subsisting in an abandoned devolution cavern beneath the old Manzano Weapons Storage Facility on Kirtland Air Force Base here in Albuquerque. "I need to show you what I'm protecting here, Gemma," he insisted. I stared into the clear glass case. I could hear...humming, clicking, buzzing. A faint haze inside the box shifted. Dissolved. Came back together. Reminded me of how mercury, when released on a plate, will flow and form new shapes. Only this...this thing was "flowing and forming" in midair. My mouth opened to a stunned "o" as the silver haze resolved into blue letters. H E L L O Dr. Bickel hadn't pressed any buttons. Hadn't said anything to them. Hadn't gestured. He grinned. "Ah. They've noticed you." And I need to warn you about General Cushing. The rank and name likely conjure images of a lean but muscled old soldier, face cemented in unyielding lines, iron-gray hair cut high and tight. Let me disabuse you of that impression. General Imogene Cushing is short and a tiny bit plump. She wears her beautiful silvered hair in an elegant braid knotted at the nape of her neck, and she knows how to smile sweetly. With the deadliest of sharks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Reba Buhr. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/044583/bk_acx0_044583_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
