Prehistoric Herbal Medicine: Learn the Hidden Benefits of 10 Prehistoric Ancient Herbs That Have Been Used for Centuries to Heal Yourself Naturally, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
The idea of prehistoric medicine is a thought-provoking subject. What kinds of plants did people, before modern medicine was around to lean on, use to cure themselves and fight through illness? While it is true that our lifespan on average has increased over the years with newly emerging technology, the fact remains that there are times when nature's cures may be a lot more beneficial to us. Because of the time that prehistoric medicine came about, this means that a lot of cures would be considered today to hold mystical and superstitious properties. It is difficult for many scientists to accept and further research older healing theories, even if they seemed to work at the time. They may credit this fact with the placebo effect and the rest of it with some minor benefits natural foods and minerals may have on the body. Why should you listen to this book? 1. It's short and informative, with no fluff. 2. This book is straightforward and gets to the point. 3. It has a great concept. 4. Learn what you need to know fast. 5. Don't waste hours listening to something that won't benefit you. 6. Specifically recorded to help and benefit the listener. 7. The best compact guide to learn what you need to know. Prehistoric medicine predates the written word, and so it is often difficult to know for sure what was used to cure illness and how. However, there are some clues provided to us through archaeology and historical texts, like the Bible, about what people used so long ago. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Trevor Clinger.

A Federation Forged in Fire: Koban Volume 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1297min
When the enemy discovers their hidden home, Mirikami is forced to lead 117 Kobani ships in a desperate attack against 3,000 Krall ships and uncounted warriors. Armed with a 22,000-year-old computer virus, and sheer courage, they must disable every enemy ship and weapon. The last time this tactic was tried against them, the Krall eradicated the entire Olt'kitapi civilization. That's just one foe the Kobani face. The PU president rejects diplomatic recognition of the new Galactic Federation, and diplomat Mirikami is ordered arrested for genetic crimes and for provoking Krall attacks on Hub worlds. To reveal the president's duplicity in a secret deal with the Krall leader, he accepts a life or death challenge fight with an old enemy, right on the capitol steps, with news cameras rolling. Then, proving the galaxy remains a dangerous place, the huge Thandol Empire, a former Olt'kitapi enemy, forcefully announces that its elephantine rulers intend to annex the Orion Spur. That happens to be where both the Kobani led Galactic Federation, and Human Space reside. Naturally, the Kobani decline the Empire's violently phrased demands, doing it in their typically harsh and forceful manner. In leading up to that confrontation, the Kobani learn the basis of the Empire's claim to Federation Space, and it predates the Krall conquests. The prior owners may have a claim. The Empire's initial punitive reaction to Kobani rejection reveals they have a pain causing nerve weapon, used for crowd control in the Empire. This mild sounding weapon proves to be devastating to those with organic superconducting nerves. Life on Koban could be wiped out by a riot control ship. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Art of Happiness, Peace & Purpose: Manifesting Magic, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
The law of attraction is not a new concept; it predates all religions just as all our other laws did. Recently the concept of 'manifesting', 'cosmic ordering' and 'attraction' have entered the mainstream vocabulary, but they are just trendy labels for something that man has been doing since the dawn of creation, wishing and praying. Manifesting is just the same as praying with certainty. Perhaps we wouldn't even need books like this one if religion hadn't painted the image of God as the bearded angry guy who sits on a throne passing judgment on us sinful mortals. As a whole, we seem to have got terribly mixed up about praying. More often than not we drop to our knees and ask God for help only in our darkest moments. We see prayer as a cry for help, like a child who has fallen off the swing screams for his mother. What upsets us with prayer is when we fall off the swing and 'mom' doesn't come running. Our cries for help appear to go unnoticed, and this causes us a great sensation of being alone and unloved. In this penultimate book in the Manifesting Magic series, Craig Beck reveals the truth about why your prayers go unanswered and how you use the power of divinity within you to ask, believe, and receive the life of your dreams. Discover: Just how powerful you really are How to disconnect from negative thoughts How to hear the wisdom of your soul Where to find the pure divine power of the universe How to talk to God and create your own miracles ungekürzt.

Ninth Cycle Antarctica: A Rossler Foundation Mystery Thriller, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
Was there a human civilization in Antarctica in the past? Will we ever know? In November 2002, a special US Navy SEAL team is sent to Antarctica to locate and rescue a film crew that has become lost. No trace of them is found, except for film footage of strange artifacts buried under the ice. Everyone who saw the film is warned to never talk about what they have seen - ever again. More than a decade later in Boulder, Colorado, Professor Charles Summers is intrigued by the discovery of a 16th century map showing the coastline of Antarctica so accurately, that when NASA investigates the maps, they find that they must update their own current maps! But this map predates any record of the discovery of Antarctica by 300 years! Who drew those maps and when? Did they see Antarctica without its icecap? Did humans live on Antarctica before? But, Antarctica has been under its icecap for 200 million years! Is it possible that beneath the ice we will find the remains of an impossibly ancient civilization? The Rossler Foundation arranges an expedition to Antarctica to search for evidence of such a civilization. The Orion Society immediately mobilizes their resources to infiltrate the expedition. Will their treachery and hunger for power stop this expedition from reaching its goals? Is there an ancient city under the ice of Antarctica? Ninth Cycle Antarctica is the second book in the Rossler Foundation Series, it is a full-length audiobook, a stimulating thriller about an attempt at uncovering true human history in the face of adversity.

El Norte: The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1280min
Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today. El Norte chronicles the sweeping and dramatic history of Hispanic North America from the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century to the present - from Ponce de Leon’s initial landing in Florida in 1513 to Spanish control of the vast Louisiana territory in 1762 to the Mexican-American War in 1846 and up to the more recent tragedy of post-hurricane Puerto Rico and the ongoing border acrimony with Mexico. Interwoven in this stirring narrative of events and people are cultural issues that have been there from the start but which are unresolved to this day: language, belonging, community, race, and nationality. Seeing them play out over centuries provides vital perspective at a time when it is urgently needed. In 1883, Walt Whitman meditated on his country’s Spanish past: “We Americans have yet to really learn our own antecedents, and sort them, to unify them”, predicting that “to that composite American identity of the future, Spanish character will supply some of the most needed parts.” That future is here, and El Norte, a stirring and eventful history in its own right, will make a powerful impact on our national understanding. ungekürzt.

Brooklyn Noir mixes masters of the mystery genre with the best of New York’s literary fiction community - and, of course, leaves room for new blood.

Ruth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1010min
Exclusively from Audible The orphaned heroine Ruth, apprenticed to a dressmaker, is seduced by wealthy Henry Bellingham who is captivated by her simplicity and beauty. Their affair causes her to lose her home and job to which he offers her shelter, only to cruelly abandon her soon after. She is offered a chance of a new life though shamed in the eyes of society by her illegitimate son. When Henry reappears offering marriage she must choose between social acceptance and her own pride. Ruth ultimately finds a path that affirms we are not bound to repeat our mistakes. A social audiobook of love, family and hypocrisy, it examines the Victorian views about sin and the social stigma of illegitimacy. Gaskell is compassionate in her portrayal of Ruth who would normally be outcast from respectable society. Ruth was the first mainstream novel to cast a 'fallen woman' in the role of heroine and inevitably caused controversy when published. It predates Hardy's own such heroine in Tess of the d'Urbervilles by nearly 40 years. Gaskell was an accomplished writer and had much of her work published in Charles Dickens' magazine Household Words. She was also friends with Charlotte Brontë and after her death, her father, Patrick Brontë, chose Gaskell to write The Life of Charlotte Brontë.
