    Transformative Scenario Planning: Working Together to Change the Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
    People who are trying to solve tough economic, social, or environmental problems often find themselves frustratingly stuck. They cannot solve their problems in their current context; the larger system within which they are operating is too unstable or unfair or unsustainable. They cannot transform this system on their own or by working only with their friends or colleagues; the system is too complex to be grasped or shifted by any one person or organization or sector. And the actors whose cooperation would be necessary to transform the system don't understand or agree with or trust each other enough to work together. This book describes a powerful new methodology for dealing with this increasingly common set of challenges. Transformative Scenario Planning is a creative and constructive way for actors from across a whole system to work together to transform that system. It is a way for them to get unstuck and to move forward on solving their tough problems. Transformative Scenario Planning takes the well-established methodology of adaptive scenario planning-rigorously constructing a set of stories of alternative possible futures-and turns it on its head. It uses scenarios not only to understand and adapt to the future but also to challenge and change it. It offers a way for us to transform ourselves and our relationships with one another and thereby to transform the systems of which we are part. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce.

    The Haunting of Eden House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    “Jennifer, what’s the matter? Open the door, Jennifer!”I was shouting. She tried to crawl out of bed, but before she could get herself together, the entire bed had begun to rise with her on it. Then with a thunderous crash, it shattered on the floor. Her hand fell against something coarse and wet. It felt like hair! No, a face! She grasped the object and brought it up to her eyes, and she froze in terror!Her body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she held Henry Kagan’s decapitated head by its blood-soaked hair, his gruesome face with the nose bone collapsed and the cheekbones caved in. His mouth was open, the lower lip stretched below his lower teeth, so the gum showed. He seemed to be laughing at her, a spine-chilling laughter, as his bulging eyes and rotted flesh began to decompose and turn to maggots in her hand.Jennifer dropped the skull and cried out in terror, feeling as though she were in a nightmare where her legs had become lead and would not allow her to run from this tomb of death. Her heart was pounding as she scrambled out of the wreckage and stumbled to her feet. Suddenly, William Hurdle’s diary flew pass her head and smashed loudly against the door. Grasping the latch, Jennifer flung the door open, and the turmoil subsided. Sally and I hurried in then stopped in wonder, as Jennifer threw herself into my arms. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Haunted Dolls: Their Eyes Are Moving: Creepy True Stories of the Kids Toys...: True Hauntings, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    Their Eyes Are Moving: Creepy True Stories of the Kids' Toys...Perhaps one of the less common things people feel is a fear of dolls. There is something about those little bodies and creepy little faces that just put people on edge, regardless of any past experience they've had, movie they've seen, or story they've heard. Pediophobia, as this fear is scientifically named, can range from modern Barbie and Bratz dolls all the way to porcelain and antique dolls. Some only have a fear of one kind of doll, others have a fear of every doll imaginable. But, all in all, the fear is generally classified as one of the many phobias people face in life, and isn't taken seriously. Then, there are times that dolls should be feared. Not all dolls, not all of a specific kind of doll, but dolls that have been grasped by beings we can't see. Dolls that have been brought under the power of beings we can't normally hear or feel. Dolls that have become haunted.... Though they look innocent, harmless, and like the perfect companion for any little boy or girl, these dolls are malevolent, malicious, and horrifying. There's nothing playful about any one of them.... Here is a preview of what's inside... Haunted Dolls: Gina: A Girl's Best Friend Haunted Dolls: The Blonde-Haired, Blue-Eyed Demon Haunted Dolls: The Murderous Puppet Haunted Dolls: The Demonic Glass Doll Haunted Dolls: The Cannibal's Doll Haunted Dolls: The Green Eyed Amelia Much, much more!

    Summer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
    2 June - It is completely dark out now. It is twenty-three minutes to midnight and you have already slept for four hours. What you will dream of tonight, no one will ever know. Even if you were to remember it when you wake up, you wouldn't have a language in which to communicate it to us, nor do I think that you quite understand what dreams are, I think that is still undefined for you, that your thoughts haven't grasped it yet, and that it therefore lies within that strange zone where it neither exists nor doesn't exist.The conclusion to one of the most extraordinary and original literary projects in recent years, Summer once again intersperses short, vividly descriptive essays with emotionally raw diary entries addressed directly to Knausgaard's newborn daughter. Writing more expansively and, if it is possible, even more intimately and unguardedly than in the previous three volumes, he mines with new depth his difficult memories of his childhood and fraught relationship with his own father. Documenting his family's life in rural Sweden and reflecting on a characteristically eclectic array of subjects - mosquitoes, barbecues, cynicism, and skin, to name just a few - he braids the various threads of the previous volumes into a moving conclusion. At his most voluminous since My Struggle, his epic sensational series, Knausgaard writes for his daughter, striving to make ready and give meaning to a world at once indifferent and achingly beautiful. In his hands, the overwhelming joys and insoluble pains of family and parenthood come alive with uncommon feeling. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini.

    Rational Scrutiny: Paradoxes and Contradictions in Detective Fiction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
    Rational Scrutiny: Paradoxes and Contradictions in Detective Fiction discusses why Chess Hanrahan and Cyrus Skeen, the author's premier heroes and the chief subjects of this volume, are not only extraordinary men of action, but “intellectuals” of the first rank, as well. As Cline writes in the Preface, detective fiction, as a rule, employs both "intellectuals" and "doers". Detectives solve problems; detectives usually do something about them. Problems cannot be solved until they are grasped, understood, and counter actions are identified. In the mystery and detective fiction genres, detectives solve problems that are criminal in nature. Crimes are a consequence of human volition; it is the detective's task to solve them. The problems must first arise before the detective can act. He does not act in a vacuum. He cannot "prevent" problems caused by others, or of which he is not yet aware, because they are products of human volition. Hanrahan, operating in our own time, and Skeen, acting in the third decade of the 20th century, have their own unique way of approaching crime-solving. Paradoxes do not exist in nature, they observe, nor should they exist in men's lives, values, and actions. Along the way, Cline refutes the common literary notion that some of the best fictional detectives in the past were not "intellectuals" in his essay, "The Wizards of Disambiguation," a critique of the post-modern, deconstructionist school of criticism. He concludes that Skeen and Hanrahan "only partly conform" to Raymond Chandler's description of an ideal detective, except that each abhors “a lively sense of the grotesque”, can express a quick but not necessarily “rude” wit, and harbors a disgust for sham and a contempt for pettiness. And neither is tarnished nor afraid. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregg A. Rizzo. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/023380/bk_acx0_023380_sample.mp3.

    The Book That Changed America: How Darwin's Theory of Evolution Ignited a Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    The compelling story of the effect of Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species on a diverse group of American writers, abolitionists, and social reformers, including Henry David Thoreau and Bronson Alcott, in 1860. In early 1860, a single copy of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was read and discussed by five important American intellectuals who seized on the book's assertion of a common ancestry for all creatures as a powerful argument against slavery. The book first came into the hands of Harvard botanist Asa Gray, who would lead the fight for the theory in America. Gray passed his heavily annotated copy to the child welfare reformer Charles Loring Brace, who saw value in natural selection's premise that mankind was destined to undergo progressive improvement. Brace then introduced the book to three other friends: Franklin Sanborn, a key supporter of the abolitionist John Brown, who grasped that Darwin's depiction of constant struggle and endless competition perfectly described America in 1860, especially the ongoing conflict between pro- and antislavery forces; the philosopher Bronson Alcott, who resisted Darwin's insights as a threat to transcendental idealism; and Henry David Thoreau, who used Darwin's theory to redirect the work he would pursue till the end of his life regarding species migration and the interconnectedness of nature. The Book That Changed America offers a fascinating narrative account of these prominent figures as they grappled over the course of that year with Darwin's dangerous hypotheses. In doing so, it provides new perspectives on America prior to the Civil War, showing how Darwin's ideas become potent ammunition in the debate over slavery and helped advance the cause of abolition by giving it scientific credibility. ungekürzt.
