The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
From the best-selling author of 600 Hours of Edward comes the story of a boxer and a sportswriter whose fates are inextricably linked. Hugo Hunter, a would-be champion who never quite made it, is on his last legs. Thirty-seven years old, soft around the middle, and broke, he’s plummeted from his glory days of title fights to small-time bouts against brawlers and punks. Watching ringside for nearly twenty years has been Mark Westerly, a sportswriter who has struggled to keep a professional distance from the man whose life and career have become enmeshed with his own tumultuous trajectory. Hugo and Mark share a history that runs deep and has at times gotten ugly. As Hugo lands on the ropes again, Mark steps in to try to save him - and unburdens himself of long-held secrets regarding Hugo’s past. But can these two men, who’ve lived so long under the weight of their own tragedies, finally help each other find redemption? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luke Daniels.

Checked , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
From Newbery Medalist Cynthia Kadohata comes a brilliantly realized sports novel about a hockey player who must discover who he is without the sport that defines him. Hockey is Conor's life. His whole life. He'll say it himself, he's a hockey beast. It's his dad's whole life too - and Conor is sure that's why his stepmom, Jenny, left. There are very few things Conor and his dad love more than the game, and one of those things is their Doberman, Sinbad. When Sinbad is diagnosed with cancer, Conor chooses to put his hockey lessons and practices on hold so they can pay for Sinbad's chemotherapy. But without hockey to distract him, Conor begins to notice more. Like his dad's crying bouts, and his friend's difficult family life. And then Conor notices one more thing: Without hockey, the one thing that makes him feel special, is he really special at all? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Kroft.

The Little Locksmith (eBook, ePUB)
The Little Locksmith begins in 1895 when a specialist straps five-year-old Katharine, then suffering from spinal tuberculosis, to a board with halters and pulleys in a failed attempt to prevent her being a "hunchback." Her mother says that she should be thankful that her parents are able to have her cared for by a famous surgeon; otherwise, she would grow up to be like the "little locksmith," who does jobs at their home; he has a "strange, awful peak in his back." Forced to endure "a horizontal life of night and day," Katharine remains immobile until age fifteen, only to find that she, too, has a hunched back and is "no larger than a ten-year-old child."The Little Locksmith charts Katharine's struggle to transcend physical limitations and embrace her life, her body, and herself in the midst of debilitating bouts of frustration and shame. Her spirit and courage prevail, and she succeeds in expanding her world far beyond the boundaries prescribed by her family and society: she attends Radcliffe College, forms deep friendships, begins to write, and in 1921, purchases a house of her own in Castine, Maine. There she creates her home, room by room, fashioning it as a space for guests, lovers, and artists. The Little Locksmith stands as a testimony to Katharine's aspirations and desires-for independence, for love, and for the pursuit of her art.- Shop: buecher

Skin Health: Surgical Alternatives to Healthy Skin, Anti-Aging and Scar Revision , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 217min
A skin-health pioneer in surgical alternatives to healthy skin, anti-aging, and scar revision discusses the facts and fiction for skin health maintenance for long term results. Inspired to self-treat his own severe bouts of acne, Danne Montague-King discusses his 50 years of research: "Human cells will not accept what is not recognized as workable fuel. I look at the care of skin in term of functionality, and hormonal fluctuation. Acne starts in the hypothalamus gland and cortisol levels contribute to many skin problems. If you don't start the treatment there, you're wasting time and money." Danne was the first scientist in his field to recognize the power of enzymes in skin treatment such as its ability to hydrolyze dead skin cells and not enzymes in the products, but the idea of stimulating the many enzymes already IN the skin and body that orchestrate everything. "The human body is a bag of fluids containing chemicals that are orchestrated by enzymes and held together with electromagnetic waves; it's the basic intelligence of treating skin," says King. ungekürzt.

However, the factors leading to his PTSD began long before he ever put on his uniform and picked up a gun.Paul and his siblings suffered for 14 years at the hands of a violently abusive stepfather. This in itself, with no intervention of counselling, set Paul up for a life of explosive bouts of anger and violence. Then, Paul went to war and witnessed horrific sights on the battlefield - sights that the human mind itself recognizes is not “normal”.Come nighttime, Paul’s sleep was disrupted as his brain tried to make sense of the visions, smells, and sounds. Unable to get the sleep he desperately needed, he was short-tempered and developed a very short fuse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Winter.
