To a Strange Somewhere Fled , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
After the sudden end to her collaboration with composer Alessandro Stradella, Donatella moves from Genoa to join her parents in a small village in Oxfordshire, England. The gift of a sonnet, "stolen" music, inexpressible secrets, and an irrepressible spirit have stowed away on her journey. Haunted by whispers and visions, angels and demons, will she rise out of grief and aimlessness? Her father's friendship with the residents of Wroxton Abbey, who are important figures in the court of Charles II, offers new possibilities, especially as music and its masters - including the "divine" Henry Purcell - have not finished with her yet. ungekürzt.

The Thing I Didn't Know I Didn't Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
I guess this was what they meant by a loss of innocence. Who knew? Russel Middlebrook is 23 years old, gay, and living in trendy Seattle, but life isn't keeping up with the hype. Most of his friends have a direction in life - either ruthlessly pursuing their careers or passionately embracing their own aimlessness. But Russel is stuck in place. All he knows is that crappy jobs, horrible dates, and pointless hook-ups just aren't cutting it anymore. What's the secret? What does everyone else know that he doesn't? Enter Kevin, Russel's perfect high school boyfriend. Could rekindling an old flame be the thing Russel needs to get his life back on track? Or maybe the answer lies in a new friend, an eccentric screenwriter named Vernie Rose, who seems plenty wise. Or what the hell? Maybe Russel will find some answers by joining his best friend Gunnar's crazy search for the legendary bigfoot! One way or another, Russel is determined to learn the all-important secret to life, even if it's a thing he doesn't even know he doesn't know. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Hurley.

Star Trek Movie Tie-In , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 791min
Are you willing to settle for an ordinary life? Or do you think you were meant for something better? Something special?" One grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, fighting for his independence, for a way out of a life that promised only indifference, aimlessness and obscurity. "You will forever be a child of two worlds, capable of choosing your own destiny. The only question you face is, which path will you chose?" The other grew up on the jagged cliffs of the harsh Vulcan desert, fighting for acceptance, for a way to reconcile the logic he was taught with the emotions he felt. In the far reaches of the galaxy, a machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world. Kirk and Spock, two completely different and unyielding personalities, must find a way to lead the only crew, aboard the only ship, that can stop him. "The wait is over." ungekürzt.

Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
Author of the New York Times best seller Useful Idiots and popular columnist Mona Charen takes a close, reasoned look at the aggressive feminist agenda undermining the success and happiness of men and women across the country.In this smart, deeply necessary critique, Mona Charen unpacks the ways feminism fails us at home, in the workplace, and in our personal relationships - by promising that we can have it all, do it all, and be it all. Here, she upends the feminist agenda and the liberal conversation surrounding women's issues by asking tough and crucial questions, such as: Did women's full equality require the total destruction of the nuclear family? Did it require a sexual revolution that would dismantle traditions of modesty, courtship, and fidelity that had characterized relations between the sexes for centuries? Did it cause the broken dating culture and the rape crisis on our college campuses? Did it require war between the sexes that would deem men the "enemy" of women?Have the strides of feminism made women happier in their home and work life. (The answer is no.) Sex Matters tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes - family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children. ungekürzt.

This was not the first, or the last, time Alphie will be on unsteady ground.Alphie McCourt was born in Limerick, Ireland, where his father's departure left misery behind for the family. His loneliness only grew deeper and wider as each of his older brothers (Frank, Malachy and Michael) left for America so in the year 1959, Alphie followed them.Alphie's adolescence in New York was marked by aimlessness, and too much drink. Briefly returning to Ireland and studying law, he returned to America only three years later, where this time he settled in California, discovering marijuana and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Returning to his immigrant roots in New York City, Alphie reencounters the beautiful Upper East Side Lynn,and marries her in 1975, in a raucous ceremony attended by both priest and rabbi. Success followed by hardship in business ventures color several of the following years. Then, one night, on Route 80 in New Jersey, drunk, full of despair and driving through the snow, Alphie has an epiphany. Today Alphie rises in the morning, at time when he used to go to bed.

Autonomous Government: Introducing Alterra , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min
They say that "necessity is the mother of invention". But today, I would add that "to maintain all of our necessities, the world sorely needs and requires the greatest invention of all time - an autonomous government". The world is currently being introduced to autonomous cars and trucks. Many millions of miles have been logged by driverless cars and trucks. Tesla has already started to drive huge semi-trailer trucks across the country without a driver. The technology for driverless cars and trucks can be easily adopted to create a leaderless or autonomous government. Autonomous cars will reduce the crashes on the roadways, while an autonomous government will reduce the crash of our civilization and our planet and our species.Today, the people of this country and this planet are forced to endure a system of making the laws that we must all obey by a bunch of old white men in expensive business suits. Even this group is tyrannized by one or two individuals who control these few to consider only solutions to problems that have been predetermined and pre-cleared by special interest groups. Half of them end up in jail, and yet this is how we create the rules of law. But there is hope - we are now building the world's first artificial intelligence, a huge computer brain that can outthink all of these men in suits plus billions more of us on the outside. Solutions to problems can be delivered in seconds - not decades - and they will be fair and just because they will be derived from complete and total logic. Computers also cannot take bribes in their deliberation process. This is a new type of freedom. We're all familiar with freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to bear arms. We now need the Constitution to deliver a new freedom - the freedom from aimlessness. The autonomous government will bring us the common goals of preserving our planet Earth plus the survival of our species as well as all other ungekürzt. Language: English.
