    A Million Years in a Day: A Curious History of Everyday Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    'A wonderful idea, gloriously put into practice. Greg Jenner as is witty as he is knowledgeable.' (Tom Holland) 'Delightful, surprising and hilarious, this is a fascinating history of the everyday objects and inventions we take for granted.' (Lauren Laverne) Every day, from the moment our alarm clock wakes us in the morning until our head hits our pillow at night, we all take part in rituals that are millennia old. In this gloriously entertaining romp through human history, Greg Jenner explores the hidden stories behind these daily routines. This is not a story of politics, wars or great events, instead Greg Jenner has scoured Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs and Victorian sewers to bring us the most intriguing, surprising and sometimes downright silly nuggets from our past. Written and narrated in a chatty style by Greg Jenner, Historical Consultant to CBBC's multi-award-winning Horrible Histories, it is an entertaining history of all those things you always wondered - and many you have never considered. It is the story of our lives, one million years in the making. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Jenner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/orio/000836/bk_orio_000836_sample.mp3.

    The Way of Kings: The Stormlight Archive, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2729min
    According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say). Today the only remnants of those supposed battles are the Shardblades, the possession of which makes a man nearly invincible on the battlefield. The entire world is at war with itself - and has been for centuries since the Radiants turned against mankind. Kings strive to win more Shardblades, each secretly wishing to be the one who will finally unite all of mankind under a single throne. On a world scoured down to the rock by terrifying hurricanes, a young spearman is forced into the army of a Shardbearer, led to war against an enemy he doesn't understand and doesn't really want to fight. ungekürzt.

    Final Warning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    Tsunamis, earthquakes, world wars, nuclear disasters, and upheaval in the Middle East - could it be we are living in the final trumpet days of Revelation? Whether one is a believer or not, the Bible provides many clues about the future of us all. In Final Warning, beloved pastor and best-selling author Carl Gallups explores the stunning visions of the Apostle John as found in the seven trumpets of Revelation and overlays them on major events in the 20th and 21st centuries. How do the two world wars line up with John the Revelator's visions? Could it really be that the Chernobyl meltdown was foretold in the Bible almost 2,000 years before it happened? Does the rebirth of Israel indicate the last days are upon us? Was the same Apollyon mentioned in "trumpet five" responsible for the darkening of the sky during the Gulf War? Is the United States mentioned in biblical prophecy? Gallups has scoured historical, military, and journalistic sources to address these questions and more. An incredible journey of contextual biblical understanding and astounding prophetic possibilities await as you discover why today's signs could be the final warning. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    All This Hell: U.S. Nurses Imprisoned by the Japanese , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
    Even though women were not supposed to be on the front lines, on the front lines we were. Women were not supposed to be interned either, but it happened to us. People should know what we endured. People should know what we can endure. Lt. Col. Madeline Ullom. More than 100 US Army and Navy nurses were stationed in Guam and the Philippines at the beginning of World War II. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, five navy nurses on Guam became the first American military women of World War II to be taken prisoner by the Japanese. More than 70 army nurses survived five months of combat conditions in the jungles of Bataan and Corregidor before being captured, only to endure more than three years in prison camps. When freedom came, the US military ordered the nurses to sign agreements with the government not to discuss their horrific experiences. Evelyn Monahan and Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee have conducted numerous interviews with survivors and scoured archives for letters, diaries, and journals to uncover the heroism and sacrifices of these brave women. The book is published by University Press of Kentucky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michelle Murillo. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/066129/bk_acx0_066129_sample.mp3.

    Fera, the queen of the fertile elves of Kagwig, was out in the market place with her pregnant sisters. In her tribe, the females outnumbered the males ten to one, so getting pregnant was a constant struggle, and they were in danger of extinction. The brutal and sadistic ogre king Baphazar had the opposite problem. His gruesome ogres scoured the land for females to handle the ogres insane sexual lust. The elven coven had pride over who they mated with. They'd never consider the violent war-mongering ogres as their sex partners. As Baphazar and his ogres approached the elves in the marketplace, they came with a proposition. Could the queen betray and forsake her people in exchange for the guarantee that they would all get pregnant and their race would live on? Would her sisters turn into a race of sex slaves, or would the ogres give up their violent ways in exchange for sexual paradise?

    The Fifth Risk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
    What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.Lewis’s insightful work is as much a testament to the unsung heroes who routinely go unnoticed in the unglamorous business of government as it is a criticism of the current administration’s negligence. He finds tireless public servants whose conviction and deep awareness keep schools in session and food programs afloat. Far from anti-government, The Fifth Risk is a powerful ode to those rare people who hold firm in their convictions and, despite all odds and opposition, remember why they got into government in the first place: to benefit society and better mankind. Please note: Included with The Fifth Risk is the entirety of The Coming Storm, the Audible Original story of two scientists who revolutionized climate predictions, bringing warning systems to previously unimaginable levels of accuracy. Michael Lewis uncovers the potential cost of putting a price tag on life-saving information. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victor Bevine.
