    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 146min
    Alice is bored while sitting with her older sister, who is reading a book that "had no pictures or conversations in it". Alice takes interest in a passing white rabbit that is dressed in a waistcoat and muttering, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" She follows the rabbit down a rabbit hole, then finds herself falling down into a dreamlike world, where she has several adventures. Alice grows to gigantic size and then shrinks to a fraction of her original height, meets a group of small animals swimming in a sea of her own (previously shed) tears, and gets trapped in the rabbit's house when she enlarges herself again. After meeting the Duchess, she carries away a baby that changes into a pig, then meets the Cheshire cat, which disappears, leaving only its smile behind. She joins the Mad Hatter and the March Hare at a never-ending tea party, goes to the seashore and meets a Gryphon and a Mock Turtle, and finally attends the trial of the Knave of Hearts, who has been accused of stealing tarts. Just as Alice defies the Queen of Hearts, the dream ends and Alice wakes up at the picnic with her sister. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Heather Walters.

    What a Difference a Dog Makes: Big Lessons on Life, Love and Healing from a Small Pooch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    A must-read for every dog lover - a short, tender, and uplifting tale of a cancer survivor and the life lessons shared with him by his beloved family dog. Our dogs come into our lives as “just the family pet,” but before we know it they become drinking buddies and fuzzy shrinks, playmates and Cheerios-munching vacuum cleaners, alarm clocks and sleeping partners. And, in their mys­terious and muttish ways, our dogs become our teachers. When Dana Jennings and his son were both seriously ill - Dana with prostate cancer and his son with liver failure - their 12-year-old miniature poodle, Bijou, became even more than a pet and teacher. She became a healing presence in their lives. After all, when you’re recovering from radical surgery and your life is uncertain, there’s no better medicine than a 23-pound pooch who lives by the motto that it’s always best to play, even when you’re old and creaky, even when you’re sick and frightened. In telling Bijou’s tale in all of its funny, touching, and neurotic glory, Jennings is telling the story of every dog that has ever blessed our lives. The perfect gift for animal lovers, What a Difference a Dog Makes is a narrative ode to our canine guardian angels. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Jennings.

    Gaslit by a Madman: Illuminated Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
    Gaslit by a Madman or The Certifiably True Ravings of a Sectioned Philosopher is a droller take on the subjects of mental health, political issues, and Nietzschean, Christian, Jungian, existentialist, and post-modern philosophy. Don’t be afraid to question your world view; don’t be afraid to think you might be a bit "mad". Who isn’t?It is based on the author Max J. Lewy’s own experience as an oh-so-patient patient in the NHS mental health system. Veritably knocked off his horse by two out-of-control, gaslighting shrinks at the tender age of 23, his writings trace his recovery from this life-changing, iatrogenic incident over the next 12 or so years, exploring the "mad" identity that was placed upon him and the truly insane, or certainly very flawed and eyebrow-raising system which so unfortunately often does such things to quite healthy and relatively rational people.This companion volume, released on his 36th (that's six times six) birthday as a little gift (for "The Beast", presumably...but who knows, maybe Lucifer, maybe Jesus, maybe the old bearded madman at the end of the street with a "The Apocalypse Is Nigh" cardboard sign hung to the back of his bike), contains 36 beautifully illuminated poems, in the manner of William Blake, only with modern-day collaged images from around the world wide web. ungekürzt.

    Jimmy and the Star Angel, Hörbuch, Digital, 108min
    Jimmy and his sister Samantha are celebrating their first Christmas since the death of their father. While Samantha embraces the holiday spirit, Jimmy is filled with apathy and indifference over the season. On Christmas Eve, after Jimmy breaks one of his father's ornaments, a strange force shrinks both he and his sister down to ornament size. On the lowest branch, they meet an Old St. Nicholas ornament who explains that the Star Angel, residing at the very top of the Christmas tree, alone has the power to return them to normal size and must do so before sunrise, when the magic that brings the ornaments to life will fade away, turning Jimmy and Samantha into ornaments as well. With the aid of the Cookie Dough Man '66, Lighthouse, Sheriff and Pockets the tramp clown, they embark on a journey to the top of the tree. Determined to stop them is Scrimshaw, who has vowed revenge against Jimmy for dropping him on the floor and causing him to break, only to be glued back together again, and forever banished to Empty Side. It becomes a race against the clock to reach the top of the tree as Scrimshaw and his hideous, disfigured army from Empty Side pursue the kids and their merry gang in this musical adventure.

    Making It: Why Manufacturing Still Matters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min
    From the longtime New York Times economics correspondent, a closely reported argument for the continuing importance of industry for American prosperity. In the 1950s manufacturing generated nearly 30 percent of US income. Over the past 55 years that share has gradually declined to less than 12 percent at the same time that real estate, finance, and Wall Street trading have grown. While manufacturing's share of the US economy shrinks, it expands in countries such as China and Germany that have a strong industrial policy. Meanwhile Americans are only vaguely aware of the many consequences - including a decline in their self-image as inventive, practical, and effective people - of the loss of that industrial base. And yet, with the improbable rise of Donald Trump, the consequences of the hollowing out of America's once-vibrant industrial working class can no longer be ignored. Reporting from places where things were and sometimes still are "Made in the USA" - Albany, New York, Boston, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. - longtime New York Times economics correspondent Louis Uchitelle argues that the government has a crucial role to play in making domestic manufacturing possible. Combining brilliant reportage with an incisive economic and political argument, Making It tells the overlooked story of manufacturing's still-vital role in the United States and how it might expand. ungekürzt.

    The Fold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
    Step into the fold. It's perfectly safe. The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve. Far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to "fold" dimensions, it shrinks distances so a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. The invention promises to make mankind's dreams of teleportation a reality. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the door is completely safe. Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn't quite what it seems - and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret. As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there's only one answer that makes sense. And if he's right, it may be only a matter of time before the project destroys...everything. A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you'll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuine pause-resister science-fiction thriller. Step inside its audio and learn why author Peter Clines has already won legions of loyal fans. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ray Porter.
