    Tarbabies Book 2: The Siege at Friendly Haven: Tarbabies, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
    No one expects to leave this place alive. The Friendly Haven Assisted Living Center is supposed to be the last stop - a quiet, comfortable place to die. But death is not what the monsters outside are offering. The tarbabies will get in eventually. They always do. Keeping those shambling bags of slime from oozing through the countless cracks and seams infesting this place would require more vigilance than we can muster. The residents of Friendly Haven are old and weary, and it has been a long time since we were asked to fend for ourselves. So we can hunker down and wait for the help we know isn't coming, or we can take our chances out among the monsters. There are no heroes at Friendly Haven. But there are people who are terrified of what they will become if they fail. For what we have to do, fear may be our last, best hope. Now that death is no longer the worst thing that can happen to us. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allen R. Brady, Lisa Cartmell.

    Tales from Atlantis, Volume I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    This collection includes three stories: "Atlantis": A haunting poem from the ghost-like underwater depths. "The Last Incantation": With inhuman solemnity, the voice of the necromancer went on in a priest-like chant until the last echoes died out in hollow, sepulchral vibrations. Then the colored vapors cleared away. But the pale, unearthly glow still filled the changer, and between Malygris and the door where hung the unicorn's head there stood the apparition of Nylissa! "The Death of Malygris": Groping along tortuous alleys, through blind caverns, and down subterranean halls and steps, 12 of the most-powerful sorcerers of Susran were brought together in a vault of oozing, death-gray granite, far beneath the foundations of the palace. The 12 sorcerers knew that the king had convened them only because of a matter supremely grave and secret. For a while, there was silence in the vault, and the 12, bowing deferentially, waited. Then, in a voice that was little more than a harsh whisper, the king spoke: "What know ye of Malygris?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Gallant.

    Decolonize Hipsters (eBook, ePUB)
    Few urban critters are more reviled than the hipster. They are notoriously difficult to define, and yet we know one when we see one. No wonder: they were among the global cultural phenomena that ushered in the 21st century. They have become a bulwark of mainstream culture, cultural commodity, status, butt of all jokes and ready-made meme. But frightening as it is to imagine, for more than a century hipsters have been lurking among us. Defined by their appearances and the cloud of meaning attached to them-the cool vanguard of gentrification, the personification of capitalism with a conscience-hipsters are all looks, and these looks are a visual timeline to America's past and present. Underlining this timeline is the pattern of American popular culture's love/hate/theft relationship with Black culture. Yet the pattern of recycling has reached a chilling point: the 21st century hipster made all possible past fads into new trends, including and especially the old uncool. In Decolonize Hipsters, Grégory Pierrot gives us a field guide to the phenomenon, a symptom and vanguard of the wave of aggressive white supremacist sentiment now oozing from around the globe.

    The Thief (Deluxe Edition)
    A literary crime masterpiece that follows a Japanese pickpocket lost to the machinations of fate. Bleak and oozing existential dread, The Thief is simply unforgettable, and is now reissued in a brand new deluxe edition with an introduction by Duane Swierczynski, an afterword by the author, and discussion questions. The Thief is a seasoned pickpocket. Anonymous in his tailored suit, he weaves in and out of Tokyo crowds, stealing wallets from strangers so smoothly sometimes he doesn't even remember the snatch. Most people are just a blur to him, nameless faces from whom he chooses his victims. He has no family, no friends, no connections . . . But he does have a past, which finally catches up with him when Ishikawa, his first partner, reappears in his life, and offers him a job he can't refuse. It's an easy job: tie up an old rich man, steal the contents of the safe. No one gets hurt. Only the day after the job does he learn that the old man was a prominent politician, and that he was brutally killed after the robbery. And now the Thief is caught in a tangle even he might not be able to escape.

    Even Money, Hörbuch, Digital, 257min
    On the first day of Royal Ascot, the crowd rejoices in a string of winning favourites. Ned Talbot has worked all his life as a bookmaker - taking over the family business from his grandfather - so he knows not to expect any sympathy from the punters as they count their winnings, and he counts his losses. He's seen the ups and downs before - but, as the big gambling conglomerates muscle in on small concerns like his, Ned wonders if it's worth it any more. When a grey-haired man steps forward from the crowd claiming to be his father, Ned's life is thrown into far deeper turmoil. He'd been told since he was a baby that his parents had died in a car crash. Barely an hour later his newly found father is stabbed by an unknown assailant in the Ascot car park. Blood oozing from his abdomen, he warns Ned: 'Be very careful'. But of whom? Of what? Ned finds himself in a race to solve his father's riddles, a race where coming second could cost him more than even money, it could cost him his life. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Jarvis.

    The Buddha's Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
    From the moment of his birth, Siddhartha Gautama never doubted his specialness. He arrived with magnificently webbed digits and could lick his own earlobes. His karma had been that good. Thus, the question was never whether he would become a king, but rather, what type of king he would become. Siddhartha's journey took a sudden spiritual turn when he came to the first of his many realizations: things die, and before they die, they suffer, a lot, for real. This harrowing insight formed the first of his eleven Four Noble Truths (not including the five other parts) and informed his ascetic-minded mission: to free the world of pain, even if he was very glad to no longer care about anything or anyone in it. Having already experienced an incalculable number of past lives, Siddhartha wondered, how could he himself escape this endless cycle of suffering? With this question came an enlightened answer that promised a possible way out: only those who live can die. As his body begins to fail following an ill-prepared meal, Siddhartha faces his ultimate test: will he achieve his blessed wish - to cease to exist once and for all - or will he be reborn yet again into another oozing life of pain. ungekürzt.

    Rare Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    Marc Royce stares down from the helicopter on the Rift Valley slashing across Africa like a scar. Tribal feuds, drought, and dislocation have left their devastation. And he sees a new wound – a once-dormant volcano oozing molten lava across the dry landscape – and clouds of ash obscure his vision. His undercover assignment is similarly obscured. Supposedly, dispatched to audit a relief organization’s accounts, Marc finds himself amid the squalor and chaos of Kenyan refugee camps caught in a stranglehold of corruption and ruthlessness. But his true task relates to the area’s reserves of once-obscure metals now indispensible to high-tech industry. The value of this rare earth inflames tensions on the world’s stage as well as among warring tribes. When an Israeli medical administrator, Kitra, seeks Marc’s help with her humanitarian efforts, they forge an unexpected link between impoverished African villages and another Silicon Valley rising in the Israeli desert. Precious metals and inventive minds promise new opportunities for prosperity, secure futures, and protection of valuable commodities from terrorists. As Marc prepares to report back to Washington, he seizes a chance to restore justice to this troubled land. This time, he may have gone too far. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Gigante.

    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.
