  O homem que queimou a Bíblia (eBook, ePUB)

  O homem que queimou a Bíblia é um livro simples e objetivo. Simples pela sua característica de não ter a pretensão de apresentar grande tratado teológico nem filosófico, apesar de o autor gostar dessas duas grandes áreas da ciência; objetivo pelo fato de apresentar mensagens singelas de um coração que ama a Palavra de Deus. Traz em seu escopo a mensagem principal que é, na verdade, um testemunho vivo de um homem que aceitou a Jesus como seu Senhor e Salvador e permanece fiel até hoje. Ao relatar-me histórias orais de tempos passados, aguçou-me a curiosidade de historiador e me pus a elaborar algumas de suas histórias para o papel. O objetivo, além de evangelizar, é deixar o registro do que Deus pode fazer na vida de uma pessoa. São mensagens que transformarão a sua vida.

  Dead Coast: Living Dead, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min

  The origins of the outbreak were never in dispute, although at first almost no one believed the dead were actually rising. When the island nation of Haiti was struck by wave after wave of violent earthquakes killing thousands, the Z-virus lurched spectacularly to life. Early reports of cannibalism from inside the country were disregarded until shocking live video splashed across the world's television and computer screens. Suddenly everyone was a believer. Nevertheless, in many ways it still didn't seem real. Anything could happen out there, in the barbarous realm of the third world, beyond the pale of civilization. There were myriad reasons that it could never happen here. Health and security protocols, a literate, well-informed public, etc., were all on our side. In truth, the virus was already here and spreading like the viral videos sent out from Haiti during the first days after the quake. News anchors and subject-matter experts (yes, there were subject-matter experts on the living dead) speculated and conjectured until theory gave way to the infected, pus-filled reality breaking down doors and smashing through windows with flailing, rotten hands. ungekürzt.

  The Meaty Truth: Why Our Food Is Destroying Our Health and Environment - and Who Is Responsible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min

  The Meaty Truth is an eye-opening look at the massive problems caused by the American population's food supply. Water, meat, and milk and other dairy products are filled with toxins, antibiotics, untested growth hormones, ammonia, and animal pus and manure. The current conditions of the food production industry must drastically improve, and until they do, it is absolutely vital to monitor what you eat. Castle and Goodman take a hard-hitting look at what America is putting into its food, the negative effects this has on the world, and the best ways to make healthy, informed decisions about eating. As the antibiotic age ends, the rise of pandemic diseases is approaching. Approximately half of the illnesses that claim American lives today are related to what we eat, and our health-care system is focused on treating the sick, not preventing illnesses from occurring. To fix our health problems, to continue feeding the world’s ever-growing population, and to save our planet from ecological destruction, we can no longer avoid making changes to how American meat and dairy are produced. This guide is easy to comprehend, applicable to anyone’s lifestyle, and impossible to put down. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hannah Johnston.

  Gay Panic in the Ozarks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min

  Wounds and prejudices stemming from the Civil War, the Great Depression and other conflicts run deep in the Ozark hill country. These frailties, like the scab of a putrid wound, will from time to time reopen and ooze pus. In the tumultuous year of 1968, a farmer stumbles onto the gruesome scene of a hate crime: the lynching of a young gay man whose mangled body has been left hanging from a tree. Clues abound, but the investigation withers and dies. Thirty-eight years later, Aubrey Hatfield and the citizens of Campbell County get a second chance to grapple with man's greatest vice - the refusal to see wrong and do something about it. The life journey of protagonist Aubrey Hatfield contrasts the culture of the turbulent Sixties with today's culture, and ponders how we should adapt to or resist the ever-changing notions of right and wrong. Thus, Gay Panic in the Ozarks is a disturbing story of the culture war that society is waging on itself. Brusque but humane, the novel examines love, hate, morality, honor, and duty - the things that inform and shape our destiny. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ed Bethune.

  Inflammation Simplified: Understanding the Basics of the Inflammation Syndrome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min

  When some wound swells up, reddens, and hurts, it may be a sign of inflammation. But generally speaking, inflammation is the response of your body's immune system to an irritant. The offending irritant could be a germ as well as a foreign object like a splinter in your finger. This means that an inflammation does not only start when, for example, a wound has been infected by bacteria, isn't healing properly, or is oozing pus. It starts when your body is already battling the harmful irritant. Many different factors can cause inflammation. The most common include: Pathogens like viruses, fungi, or bacteria External injuries like damage or scrapes through foreign objects. Effects of radiation or chemicals. When a part of your body is inflamed, many different immune cells may be involved. These cells release inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and bradykinin. They cause dilation of the small blood vessels in the tissues, allowing more blood to reach the injured tissues. This explains why inflamed areas turn red and feel hot. Just as the title implies, Inflammation Simplified explains briefly, and in simple words, the basics of inflammation in the human body. Highlights include: The inflammation-disease connection The anti-inflammatory diet plan Steps to fight the inflammation syndrome The anti-inflammatory supplement plan Your honest reviews, criticisms, and recommendations are welcome. Wishing you good health! ungekürzt.

  Side Step , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min

  Picture a bar in Red Hook, a dangerous port in Brooklyn across the river from New York City. A horrible scene begins between Rebecca who serves beer and a customer Lawrence, who looks with one eye on Rebecca and one on the door.'I am pregnant,' she says. We, the other bar patrons, listen while she explains to Lawrence. 'I am being watched by a creature, and it knew of the man I was with...the creature is a a monster and facilitates such sexual recombinations.'What is the reader to think as the action unfolds? Is it the effect of too much beer? Some B-movie horror playing out on the TV screen above our heads? Or is it an attack on Rebecca’s cellular ribosomes by the growth of a wasp egg that would feed on her innards unless her brother Lawrence’s antibodies can defend against her enemies?Again, the scientific mind of Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. serves up a mixed-genre story that repulses the senses with images of wasp stings, pimples leaking streams of pus, and Lawrence’s suction of cancerous RNA strands, while also imparting a microscope textbook explanation of processes we never think about.Side Step is connected to two other of the author’s stories - Ollie Deaton and the Breathitt County Silver Mine and The Manure Pit. Van Stockum is always educational, always entertaining. (Mary Popham, author) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Bond Bird.

  Immune , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min

  The human body is like an exceedingly well-fortified castle, defended by billions of soldiers - some live for less than a day, others remember battles for decades, but all are essential in protecting us from disease. This hidden army is our immune system, and without it we could not survive the eternal war between us and our microscopic enemies. Immune explores the incredible arsenal that lives within us - how it knows what to attack and what to defend, and how it kills everything from the common cold to the plague bacterium. We see what happens when the immune system turns on us and, conversely, how impossible life is without its protection. We learn how diseases try to evade the immune system, how they exploit vulnerabilities and even subvert it to their own advantage, and we discover how scientists are designing new drugs to harness the power of the system to advance medicine in the 21st century. Some of the topics explored include: Why are so many people allergic to cats but so few to hamsters? Do transplants ever reject their new bodies? What is pus? How does your body develop new weapons for new enemies? Why is cancer so hard for our immune system to fight? How does our immune system remember? Why did the 1918 flu pandemic kill mainly young, healthy people? Why did the 2009 swine flu outbreak lead to a spike in sleep disorders? Can we smell someone else's immune system? And does that help us subconsciously decide who we fall in love with? Immune provides an entertaining, intriguing and accessible account of the body's defenses against disease. Drawing on everything from ancient Egyptian medical texts to cutting-edge medical science, the audiobook takes listeners on an adventure packed with weird and wonderful facts about their own defense mechanisms, making this both informative and a great listen. ungekürzt.

  Kay's Marvellous Medicine

  The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay.The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.)You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express
