  All We Know of Heaven (The PAX Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

  Their love was forged in fire... He would overwhelm a woman Flynn knew that loving him and being loved by him would be an all-consuming passion. There would be no room for reason; there would be no halfway measures. He would demand everything from the woman he wanted, heart and soul and body.... “You frighten me,” she said, as the pulsing of her blood matched his. “I'll never hurt you.” She looked at this man whom she had watched reign supreme with nothing but the power in his two fists and she believed him. “I trust you,” she said softly, “and that frightens me even more.” Later, many people would say they were there when it happened. They would say it was as obvious as lightning across a summer sky and twice as electrifying. But, in truth, it was a small moment-a brief flicker of acknowledgment, of destiny, that left both Flynn and Jack shaken to their cores. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: LC Kane.

  Wabi Sabi: A Beginner's Guide to the Art of Simplicity and Taking Pleasure in Simple Things. Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min

  Wabi-sabi is a stylistic concept and theory that is best understood in terms of the Zen tradition that, over the last thousand years, has nurtured and shaped its creation. Zen attempts artistic expression in ways as pure and sacred as the Zen teachings they manifest; it rejects intellectualism and pretense and instead strives to uncover and picture the simplicity created by nature's flows.Wabi-sabi represents the cosmic Zen nihilist view and seeks beauty in the flaws found as all things evolve from nothing in a constant state of flux, and return to nothingness. Within this never-ending movement, nature leaves for us to contemplate arbitrary tracks, and it is these random flaws and irregularities that offer a model for the modest and humble expression of elegance in wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is an acknowledgment of the defects which form an integral part of nature.In this book, get ready to learn about:Wabi-sabi art and cultureHumility and modestyThe history of the Zen practices that led to wabi-sabiAppreciating the littlest of thingsAppreciating flaws and specifically creating themJapanese culture and their beliefs regarding wabi-sabiEnjoy this listen! ungekürzt.

  Let Me Tell You What I Mean

  NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of our most iconic and influential writers, the award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking: a timeless collection that reveals what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt. "Didion's remarkable, five decades-long career as a journalist, essayist, novelist, and screen writer has earned her a prominent place in the American literary canon, and the twelve early pieces collected here underscore her singularity."-O Magazine With a forward by Hilton Als, these pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as "an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time" (The New York Times Book Review). Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers ("the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it"), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In "Why I Write," Didion ponders the act of writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one "that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men," these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.

• Global Burning (eBook, ePUB)

  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.

  Kompetenz für Inklusion (eBook, PDF)

  This volume is based on the present state of research concerning how to best implement inclusive practices in school situations. It emphasizes how to strengthen the existing competences of all involved - parents, children, educators and teachers.Unlike skills, competences are dependent on the acknowledgment of others if they are to be successful. It is particularly important to bear in mind where such competences may be found and what they indeed consist of. Implementing inclusion demands new competences that must first be discovered and acquired. It also demands new ways of approaching and imagining what a disability" exactly is. But above all it requires an open and honest attitude toward all children, adolescents and their families. This is a great challenge for all involved. In this volume the author sketches some of these challenges and shows how they can be overcome."Auf der Grundlage aktueller Forschungsergebnisse werden die Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten von Inklusion im schulischen Bereich beleuchtet. Dabei werden insbesondere die immer schon vorhandenen Kompetenzen von Eltern, Kindern, ErzieherInnen und LehrerInnen herausgearbeitet.Kompetenzen sind im Unterschied zu Fähigkeiten letztlich auf Anerkennung durch andere angewiesen, wenn sie ertragreich sein sollen. Deshalb ist es wichtig, sich bewusstzumachen, wo und worin sie bestehen. Für die Umsetzung der inklusiven Idee sind neue Kompetenzen gefordert, die es zu entdecken gilt. Ebenso braucht es neue Bilder und Vorstellungen dazu, was eigentlich „Behinderung“ ist. Vor allem ist eine offene Haltung gegenüber allen Kindern, Jugendlichen und deren Familien nötig. Das stellt alle Beteiligten vor immense Herausforderungen. Kerstin Ziemen skizziert sie und zeigt Lösungsansätze auf.

  Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min

  Part human comedy and part mystery, Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told is an enthralling, masterful story about what holds a village together and what keeps people apart. When journalist Patrick Bracken returns to Gohen, the Irish village where he was born, he knows the eyes of the townspeople are on him. He has come home to investigate two deaths that happened decades earlier when he was a child, deaths that were ruled accidental. But Patrick knows - and believes the whole town knows - they were murders. He knows because he and his best friend Mikey Lamb were witnesses. And so Patrick goes to see 80-year-old Sam Howard, the lawyer who conducted the inquest into the death of missionary priest Jarlath Coughlin. As he questions Sam and Sam's vibrant, loving, gossipy wife Elsie, he seeks acknowledgment of a cover-up and an explanation of why the Protestant establishment would help conceal a crime among Catholics. During their give-and-take - about this and the nearly simultaneous shotgun death of Lawrence Gorman (aka Doul Yank) - what emerges from their collective memories are a pungent, wry portrait of village life in Ireland and a tangle of human relationships, some twisted and some that show our better side. ungekürzt.

  Teachers: Have You Ever? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min

  A teacher mentality often pervades every aspect of a teacher's life: early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even nightly dreams. The truth is that teaching professionals often spend more hours with other people's children than do the children's parents and caregivers. They have dealt with parents who are needy, controlling, competitive, demanding, disrespectful, enabling and enabled, hovering, and those who only see their children through rose-colored, Lasik-surgery eyes. There is no doubt that Cheryl and Jan can certainly commiserate with the numerous student and/or parent meetings all teachers have endured throughout the years in which they have had to silently nod or shake their heads in acknowledgment of what was being discussed, as seemingly tangible bubbles of disbelief formed in their brains. And so was born Teachers: Have You Ever? Teachers: Have You Ever? is a compilation of quips and stories, many of them unbelievably believable, that serve as an outlet for fellow teachers, teacher assistants, administrators, administrative assistants - and virtually anyone who works with children in a school setting - to be entertained, to laugh, to commiserate, and to identify and connect with the unique perspective of educators. It will also allow parents, grandparents, and anyone who has ever been in a classroom to gain a unique perspective, mostly through humor, of the challenges teachers experience every day. ungekürzt.

  In the Aftermath: Burning of the Dawn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 913min

  How do you cope with extinction? Do you accept it and fade away into nothing, or do you fight the inevitable? In the brutal aftermath of a global war, pockets of survivors around the world have chosen to fight. In the harsh light of day they face one another. On lone highways and in desolate towns, humans prey upon humans. As night falls a far more terrible fate awaits. A horrible creature dwells in the darkness; its purpose is to eradicate humankind. The world is full of monsters: those with human faces and those who eat human faces. This is the end; how do you cope with extinction? There was something bleak and hideous somewhere in this house. Daniel could feel shadowy hands reaching out to him: a residual haunting that screamed in silence, yet resonated throughout the hollow walls. Reluctantly, he made his way to the staircase leading up to the second floor. The heaviness intensified and the air began to taste foul as he ascended. What he was searching for was waiting for him up these stairs; he knew it was there and he knew that he had to see it. He didn't want to see it, but the souls of those murdered by the monsters demanded acknowledgment. If he did not give it to them, they would haunt him forever. ungekürzt. Language: English.
