    The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
    One of the world’s most brilliant economists and the bestselling author of The End of Poverty and Common Wealth, Jeffrey Sachs has written a new book that is essential reading for every American. The Price of Civilization is the blueprint for America’s economic recovery. It is also the story of how America can and must restore the virtues of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity. As he has done in dozens of countries around the world in the midst of economic crisis, Sachs turns his unique diagnostic skills to what ails the American economy. He finds that both political parties have missed the big picture: how globalization has reshaped economic life in America and around the world, thereby posing profound and largely unmet challenges for jobs, incomes, poverty, and the environment. America’s biggest single economic failure, Sachs argues, is its failure to come to grips with the new global economic realities. Yet Sachs goes deeper than an economic diagnosis, by asking why it is that Washington has consistently failed to address America’s economic needs. He describes a political system that has lost its ethical moorings, in which ever-rising campaign contributions and lobbying outlays overpower the voice of the citizenry. Washington, Sachs argues persuasively, has stopped representing the people and instead has turned the levers of power over to the corporate sector. Both parties are implicated, so that Washington lurches from one disappointing administration to the next, irrespective of party. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard McGonagle.

    The Denim Blue Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    New York Times best-selling author Joanne DeMaio returns to seaside Stony Point in this novel filled with beach friends, love, and the enchantment of a sandy boardwalk winding along the shore. During two August weeks, denim designer Maris Carrington and coastal architect Jason Barlow prepare for their much-anticipated wedding. Guests arrive early, turning keys in charming cottage doors to begin their New England summer escape. The wedding is a reason for old friends to gather again; to meet in their shabby beach hangout and get the jukebox cranking; to walk that weathered boardwalk beneath a starry sky; to breathe the sweet salt air. "Cures what ails you," one of the friends, Neil, always said, long before his life was sadly claimed. But his legacy was not. When Maris discovers Neil's long-lost journal, its passages reveal a heartbreaking secret. Can truths be found within its timeworn pages? Can this leather-bound journal unite the friends as their lives begin to fray? A bittersweet family reunion, a surprising encounter from a devastating accident, a shocking confession leaving one marriage shattered - all will test the once close-knit circle. Suddenly, this safe haven on the tranquil Connecticut shoreline churns with emotional turmoil, threatening even the beach wedding just days before it is to happen. Yet like a silver cap on a breaking wave, love and friendship wash ashore with hope, ever shimmering, in The Denim Blue Sea. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Cracknell.

    Sliding Scales: A Pip & Flinx Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    From New York Times best-selling author Alan Dean Foster comes a fantastic new Pip and Flinx adventure starring a certain 24-year-old redhead with emerald eyes and uncanny abilities and his devoted mini-dragon protector. Time and again, the daring pair have braved countless dangers to emerge victorious. But now Flinx attempts something that may be impossible for the heretofore undefeated hero. His mission: to take a vacation. Never have the cares of the universe lain so heavily on Flinx's shoulders, nor the forces arrayed against him seemed so invincible. Pursued by a newly revealed sect of doomsday fanatics, hunted by factions inside and outside the Commonwealth for transgressions real and imagined, expected to single-handedly avert a looming galactic crisis (or bear responsibility for the consequences), Flinx can be forgiven for feeling a slight touch of melancholy. There's only one solution for what ails Flinx, according to his ship's AI. But taking time off is tricky business. With an increasing number of enemies chasing him with ever-greater enthusiasm, Flinx must find a getaway shrouded in obscurity. Jast, a planet smack in the middle of nowhere, is the perfect locale. Yet even in a place where hardly anyone's ever seen a human, Flinx and trouble can't stay separated for long. Unfortunately, Flinx hasn't a clue that his vacation paradise is in reality a danger zone of the highest magnitude. And by the time he learns the truth, it may be too late. ungekürzt.

    Die graue Erde
    Dshurukuwaa, Sohn des Schynykbaj, ist das jüngste Kind einer Nomadenfamilie. Seine Heimat, das Altai-Gebirge in der Mongolei, ist geprägt von archaischer Kargheit. Das Leben dort verläuft in traditionellen Bahnen. In diese Lebenswelt bricht mit verstörender Gewalt eine neue Zeit ein: die politische Anlehnung der Mongolischen Volksrepublik an die Sowjetunion. Schulen werden gegründet, den Kindern soll »modernes« Wissen vermittelt werden. Auch Dshurukuwaa, der kleine Ich-Erzähler, muß seine Eltern in der Steppe verlassen. Sein erwachsener Halbbruder, Direktor der Kreisschule, holt ihn ab. Der Junge jedoch fühlt sich zum Schamanen berufen und gerät so immer wieder in Konflikt mit der sozialistischen Erziehung. Auch in der Schule soll das »abergläubische« Festhalten an die göttlichen Kräfte der Natur und Geister bekämpft werden. Schließlich kommt es zu einer Katastrophe. Beim Bau eines Gemüsekellers in einem heiligen Erdhügel bricht die Decke ein, einige Menschen werden verschüttet, unter ihnen der Parteisekretär. Auch der Direktor-Bruder bezahlt seine Un- und Parteigläubigkeit mit dem Leben. Dshurukuwaa und seine beiden Geschwister wandern mit dem toten Halbbruder nach Hause und bestatten ihn auf traditionelle Weise. Mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen erzählt der deutsch schreibende Mongole Galsan Tschinag vom Leben der Tuwa, einem turksprachigen kleinen Stamm in der Mongolei. Wir reisen mit seinem Roman in den Altai, zu seinen Ails und Jurten. Tschinag läßt seine Kindheit lebendig werden und schildert, wie ein kleiner Junge - trotz aller Widerstände - den Schamanen in sich entdeckt. Der Roman zieht seinen besonderen Reiz aus der Vermittlung einer uns fremden, aber faszinierenden Kultur.

    The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Life) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    Nerds: Once a tormented subrace of humans... Now captains of industry! You don’t have to be a stereotypical geekwad to appreciate the tenets of Nerdism and to make your innate talents for overanalysis and hyper-self-awareness work for you instead of against you. Join Nerd superstar Chris Hardwick as he offers his fellow “creative-obsessives” the crucial information needed to come out on top in the current Nerd uprising. Nerds subsist on the minutiae of their chosen passions. As a lifelong member of “The Nerd Herd,” as he calls it, Chris Hardwick has learned all there is to know about Nerds. He’s studied them, lived with them, and has endeavored to milk their knowledge nectar and isolate its curative powers for what ails you. Thus, he has founded a philosophical system (and blog) called The Nerdist, and here he shares his hard-earned wisdom about turning seeming weaknesses into world-dominating strengths. From keeping your heart rate below hummingbird levels to managing the avalanche of sadness that is your inbox, from ignoring your brain to attracting wealth by turning down work, Hardwick reveals the secrets that can help you accomplish what you want by tapping into your true nerdtastic self. The Nerdist Way shows how to focus your mind, body, and time into an unstoppable laser of goodness. Don’t wait for another social tragedy. Don’t resort to cheap “mass murder” tactics to exact your revenge on society. Success is the most satisfying - and legal - form of vengeance there is. And you can achieve it when you follow the Nerdist Way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Hardwick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/003345/bk_brll_003345_sample.mp3.

    Set Free: A Lifelong Christian's Overdue Discovery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    For many a lifelong Christian, a maturing spiritual walk looks more like increased familiarity with spiritual self-disciplines, good living, and a sterling track record than a truly life-altering, deeply intimate, ongoing experience alongside Jesus. This audiobook should help reverse this undesirable low bar of spiritual expectation for many, resulting in the kind of vibrant and fulfilling new life Jesus intended for every true child of God. God wants us to know Him, not just a litany of facts about Him. But sadly, many Christians today are confusing rituals with relationship, customs with communion, and learning with love. It is today’s great Christian tragedy that after receiving Jesus’ miraculous gift of eternal life, becoming new creations in Christ, and being given a new heart, we simply carry on with little more than new-found gratitude for our one shining moment of rescue from a life void of God’s forgiveness. Fellow Christian, while our initial moment of salvation inks our name into the Lamb’s Book of Life, guaranteeing us eternity with God in Christ, that moment has not solved all that ails us! What is said in this audiobook could help bring about a truly vibrant life in Christ for many. Are you looking for more in your Christian walk? Are you tired of having only entered the race? Have you reached the end of yourself? Does your life as a Christian seem to be more about religion than relationship? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, it is likely this lifelong Christian’s honest discovery of his new creation in Christ will be a catalyst to change your walk with Jesus as well. ungekürzt.
