Bernard Manning: Best of, Volume 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 62min
Bernard Manning was born in 1930 of Russian Jewish and Irish descent. He served in the Second World War. At one stage, just after the war, he was stationed at Spandau Prison Berlin, where he guarded the likes of Rudolph Hess. His show business career began in the 1950s as a singer, before gradually introducing comedy in to his act. He first came to a wider public in the 1970s in TV programmes such as The Comedians and The Wheel Tappers and Shunters Social Club. Pushing the boundaries of comedy beyond the norm, his humour was loved and disliked in equal measure. He swore and used adult language, which, be warned, appears on these recordings! It’s fair to say that his humour is considered very un-pc nowadays, but he always maintained that he was never targeting anyone in particular and his subject matter was scattered to anyone and everyone. He started and appeared for many years at his own club, The Embassy in Manchester, where some of this material was recorded. He died in 2007. Language: English. Narrator: Bernard Manning.

Almost Home: The New Paltz Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min
I started reading Almost Home by Frank Marcopolos under the assumption that it would be a very sports-centric novel and was therefore surprised to find out that it was actually much more than this. The plot has several twists and turns and explores the overall drama of college life with particular attention being paid to the more seedy aspects. I found the book to be cleverly written, fast paced and interesting in the way it explored multiple elements of University life, from the wild parties to life in the dorms. I also appreciated how Marcopolos gives the readers a narrative that alternates between the viewpoints of both Barry and Enzo. This alternating viewpoint ensured that I could attempt to understand the way in which the characters were acting to the point that at times I couldn't actually decide if I actually liked or disliked them. There really was no good or bad guys in the story, these were meant to be characters with both negative and positive aspects which I enjoyed seeing." (Killien Reviews) ungekürzt. Language: English.

The strangest things happen when you're dead. (May Elizabeth Trump) The deathly silence is about to be broken. She disliked the company of others and death did little to warm her spirit.

She was a dead medium, a ghost who can speak with the living, and her services were to become in great demand. Flung into the limelight and smothered with unwanted attention, May soon discovers that it is not only ghosts with long awaited messages that have taken an interest in her. Something dark was lurking in the shadows, stalking her. Even the dead are not left to rest in peace. Dead Medium: A humorous, character driven story and a unique vision of life after death.

Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1975min
In Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee, Michael Korda, the New York Times best-selling biographer of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ulysses S. Grant, and T. E. Lawrence, has written the first major biography of Lee in nearly 20 years, bringing to life America's greatest and most iconic hero. Korda paints a vivid and admiring portrait of Lee as a general and a devoted family man who, though he disliked slavery and was not in favor of secession, turned down command of the Union army in 1861 because he could not "draw his sword" against his own children, his neighbors, and his beloved Virginia. He was surely America's preeminent military leader, as calm, dignified, and commanding a presence in defeat as he was in victory. Lee's reputation has only grown in the 150 years since the Civil War, and Korda covers in groundbreaking detail all of Lee's battles and traces the making of a great man's undeniable reputation on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line, positioning him finally as the symbolic martyr-hero of the Southern Cause. ungekürzt.

Rethink Selling: Why You Only Know 20% of Sales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min
You don't have to be in sales to get the most out of this book. If you're feeling lost, trapped, stuck, average, but you know you have more in you, then this will serve as an evergreen "how to" guide to get you playing at a rockstar level.I hated, well strongly disliked, salespeople. Sleezy, greasy, slimy, and dishonest were words that came to mind with the profession. It wasn't until I accidentally stumbled into the automotive industry that I changed my perception. In six years I went from sales to ownership with no experience, connections in the industry, and no cell phone for the first year and a half, and I still don't have a Facebook account. What separated me from others? I ignored the majority of traditional sales strategies and shifted my focus to developing myself, my brand, and my business. This has led me to own three companies, being recognized as one of the top automotive professionals in North America, and to writing this book.It is my hope that you lean on Rethink Selling as a constant resource for yourself and share it with those you know would find value in it as well. ungekürzt.

Moscow, December 25,1991: The Last Day of the Soviet Union , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
The implosion of the Soviet Union was the culmination of a gripping game played out between two men who intensely disliked each other and had different concepts for the future. Mikhail Gorbachev, a sophisticated and urbane reformer, sought to modernize and preserve the USSR; Boris Yeltsin, a coarse and a hard drinking “bulldozer,” wished to destroy the union and create a capitalist Russia. The defeat of the August 1991 coup attempt, carried out by hardline communists, shook Gorbachev’s authority and was a triumph for Yeltsin. But it took four months of intrigue and double-dealing before the Soviet Union collapsed and the day arrived when Yeltsin could hustle Gorbachev out of the Kremlin, and move in as ruler of Russia. Conor O’Clery has written a unique and truly suspenseful thriller of the day the Soviet Union died. The internal power plays, the shifting alliances, the betrayals, the mysterious three colonels carrying the briefcase with the nuclear codes, and the jockeying to exploit the future are worthy of John Le Carré or Alan Furst. The Cold War’s last act was a magnificent dark drama played out in the shadows of the Kremlin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hagen.
