    On a clear, brisk night in September 2000, 33-year-old Della Brown was found sexually assaulted and beaten to death inside a filthy, abandoned shed in a seedy part of Anchorage, Alaska. She was one of six women, mostly Native Alaskan, slain that year, stoking fears a serial killer was on the loose. A tanned and thuggish 20-year-old would eventually implicate himself in three of the women's deaths and confess in detail to Della's murder. Yet after a three-month trial, Joshua Wade would walk free. In 2007, when Wade kidnapped a well-loved nurse psychologist from her home and then executed her in the remote wilderness of Wasilla, two astute female detectives joined forces to finally bring him to justice. Ice and Bone is the chilling true account of how a demented murderer initially evaded police and avoided conviction only to slip back into the shadows and kill again. Journalist and writer Monte Francis tells the harrowing story of what eventually led to Wade's capture and reveals why the true scope of his murderous rampage is only now, more than a decade later, coming into view. ungekürzt.

    Whisper Cove is stuck in a heat wave, although it's nothing compared to the fire stoking between Harper Harlow and Jared Monroe. They're happy and enjoying themselves...until a face from the past resurfaces. Jason Thurman and Harper had a brief fling in high school, and when he returns to town to open a restaurant he's hoping they can revisit their relationship as adults. Harper has no interest other than friendship in the amiable man, but he seems determined despite her protests. When a body drops at his restaurant, Harper finds herself in a unique situation. The deceased woman died horribly, but she's completely unlikeable and helping her is harder than Harper ever envisioned - mostly because she's keeping secrets from the only people who can solve her murder. Between Jason's unwanted attention, a brewing fight with Zander, and an enemy no one can pin down, Harper has her hands full. Jared is by her side, but jealousy is getting the better of him even as he fights to do right by his blonde. When the end comes, will Jared be too distracted to realize who the enemy really is? Will Harper's insistence on believing Jason is innocent be her ultimate downfall? Only time will tell...and the clock is ticking. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angel Clark.

    Through the hundreds of people Adrienne Duffy has guided toward the realization of their full potential, and in the hundreds of workshops she has facilitated, one message has emerged universally over others:“We want something in addition to the achievement of goals and results. We are people who aim high and take risks, but we also long to have meaning and to be grounded. How can we create a more centered, purposeful life and workspace, in this era of constant change, chaos, and minute-by-minute progress?”Soul sense is the answer: Listening to your soul call, stoking your soul fire, and practicing soul care brings depth, growth, and balance. Soul sense can be thought of as common sense seasoned with the sixth sense. It is what is known as good, right, and fair in one’s personal and professional life, while embracing the powers of intuition that transcend such definitions. Soul sense is logical and instinctual, practical, and untamed.Tuning into and trusting your soul sense brings increasing fulfillment to your life and to the lives of those around you. The courageous choice to honor your soul sense, ultimately, is up to you. And it is Duffy’s joy and intention to lead you toward this profound gift.Your soul sense awaits... ungekürzt.

    How extreme-right antidemocratic governments around the world are prioritizing profits over citizens, stoking catastrophic wildfires, and accelerating global climate change. Recent years have seen out-of-control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. Darian-Smith looks deeply into each of these three cases of catastrophic wildfires and finds key similarities in all of them. As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. The fires in Australia, Brazil and the United States demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. Darian-Smith argues that these wildfires are closely linked through capitalism, colonialism, industrialization, and resource extraction. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges readers to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.
