Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the ninth of the 12 stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1892. An engineer, Victor Hatherly, attends Dr. Watson's Surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherly had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. Hatherly was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "rust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marc Smythe.

Sky Time in Gray's River: Living for Keeps in a Forgotten Place , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
Much the way Donald Hall’s Seasons at Eagle Pond captured New England, Sky Time in Gray’s River captures the essence of the rural Northwest. Although Rober Michael Pyle is a lepidopterist, and southwestern Washington is notable for its lack of butterflies, something about the village of Gray's River spoke to him on a visit thirty years ago. Ever since then he has lived in the village, which was one of the first to be established near the mouth of the Columbia River and which still feels only tenuously connected to the twenty-first century. Sky Time brings Gray's River to life by compressing those thirty years into twelve chapters, following the lives of its people, birds, butterflies - and cats - month by month through the seasons. In showing how the village has changed his life, Pyle illustrates how a special place can change anyone lucky enough to find it and highlights what is being lost in a world of accelerating speed, mobility, and sameness. Above all, Sky Time tells us that you don't have to travel far to see something new every day - if you know how to look. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Basil Sands.

Are you aware of the language your body expresses? It's effect on your relationships and experience? Your flesh and blood is your diary. The emotional stories of your life are recorded on your body's cells. Your body talks for you in subtle and profound ways, mostly out of alignment with the words coming out of your mouth. To be effective in your life, the quality of your communication matters! You are sensorial genius. Listen to your body and begin to speak its language. In this amazing look inside your body, you will explore the skin you're in on an exquisite and unique hands on tour from head to toe.

Cure (the Work)
A graphic extension of Sam Lewitt's 2021 exhibition at Z33 House of Contemporary Art, Design and Architecture, Belgium. CURE (the Work) is a graphic extension of Sam Lewitt's 2021 exhibition at Z33 House of Contemporary Art, Design and Architecture, Belgium. Lewitt's exhibition departs from the recent closure and demolition of Ford Genk, formerly a major employer in the region. As Ford Genk was undergoing demolition, the new wing of Z33 was under construction in the nearby city of Hasselt. CURE (the Work) retools elements of the demolished factory, as well as two manual earth ramming presses compacting soil extracted from the Ford site, recasting the galleries at Z33 as a production line for interlocking compressed earth blocks: a low-cost building material designed for self-help housing in so-called developing countries, as well as practitioners of small-scale ecological self-sufficiency. Each stage in the brick production process-compressing, curing, and stacking-is separated within the exhibition space by doors and tarps from the former factory. This dispersed presentation raises the question of where we locate the "work," as an activity and as a product. As a book, Cure (the Work) is structured around a template drawn from the form of a paving stone produced throughout the exhibition. Book and brick are here identified according to their portability and serial logic. This paver's form becomes an internal frame for the book's image content. The latter comprises research and photographic documentation of the Ford factory during demolition. The rhythm of these images throughout the book is constrained to a printing on a single side of the paper running through the press, resulting in variably patterned sequences of two-page spreads punctuated by empty pages. This documentation and textual material at once situates CURE (the Work) within the context of this deindustrialized European city, and points beyond the site to its broader, encompassing logic and material conditions. Like the content of Lewitt's work, the form of the book is structured by the logic of mobility, standardization, and rationalization that a broader consideration of the local context in the midst of global economic machinations implies. This includes the mobility promised by the automotive industry, capital flight in search of low wages, labor's resulting immobilization as well as a critical self-reflection on global artistic culture and its relationship to economic and social transformation. Newly commissioned essays on Lewitt's work by art historians Annie Ochmanek and André Rottmann, as well as a discussion between architecture historian Felicity Scott and Sam Lewitt, moderated by Z33 curator Tim Roerig, contextualize the exhibition and book, pointing to its place within Lewitt's practice.- Shop: buecher
