Eine alte Schuld: Ein Cherringham-Krimi, Hörbuch, Digital, 606min
Ein Verbrechen, das vor vielen Jahren geschah - kein Problem für Jack und Sarah! Es ist Jahrmarkt in Cherringham. Der ganze Ort fiebert der Regatta, der Parade und dem Feuerwerk entgegen. Na gut, fast alle, denn Jack und Sarah interessieren sich viel mehr für die menschlichen Überreste, die ganz in der Nähe bei einer archäologischen Ausgrabung entdeckt wurden. Anders als zunächst vermutet handelt es sich bei dem Fund nicht um einen römischen Soldaten, sondern um einen jungen Mann, der erst vor ein paar Jahrzehnten das Opfer eines kaltblütigen Mordes geworden sein muss. Als dann auch noch Jacks Versicherungsagent verschwindet, hat das Ermittlerduo alle Hände voll zu tun: Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Fällen? Und welches dunkle Geheimnis wird im beschaulichen Cherringham mit allen Mitteln zu verheimlichen versucht? deutsch.

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
Library Journal Editors' Pick It's the last day of 1984, and 85-year-old Lillian Boxfish is about to take a walk. As she traverses a grittier Manhattan, a city anxious after an attack by a still-at-large subway vigilante, she encounters bartenders, bodega clerks, chauffeurs, security guards, bohemians, criminals, children, parents, and parents to be in surprising moments of generosity and grace. While she strolls Lillian recalls a long and eventful life that included a brief reign as the highest paid advertising woman in America - a career cut short by marriage, motherhood, divorce, and a breakdown. A love letter to city life - however shiny or sleazy - Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney paints a portrait of a remarkable woman across the canvas of a changing America: from the Jazz Age to the onset of the AIDS epidemic, the Great Depression to the birth of hip-hop. ungekürzt.

Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, Hörbuch, Digital, 740min
The genome's been mapped. But what does it mean? Arguably the most significant scientific discovery of the new century, the mapping of the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up the human genome raises almost as many questions as it answers - questions that will profoundly impact the way we think about disease, about longevity, and about free will. Questions that will affect the rest of your life. Genome offers extraordinary insight into the ramifications of this incredible breakthrough. By picking one newly discovered gene from each pair of chromosomes and telling its story, Matt Ridley recounts the history of our species and its ancestors from the dawn of life to the brink of future medicine. From Huntington's disease to cancer, from the applications of gene therapy to the horrors of eugenics, Matt Ridley probes the scientific, philosophical, and moral issues arising as a result of the mapping of the genome. It will help you understand what this scientific milestone means for you, for your children, and for humankind. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Prebble.

The Serpent Papers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 862min
Barcelona, Summer 2003.Three women are sacrificed to an unknown purpose, skin carved with a cryptic alphabet, tongues cut from their mouths. Sent beautiful, sinister letters – clues, or confessions? – Inspector Fabregat cannot decipher the warnings within. As Barcelona explodes in revelry on the Festival of St Joan, Natalia Hernandez, flower of the National Theatre and Catalan idol, lies broken on the steps of the Cathedral. The city bays for blood, Fabregat chases a shadow-like suspect and signs that whisper of secrets beyond his grasp. Barcelona, Winter 2014. Anna Verco – academic, book thief, savant – unearths letters hidden for centuries from a lightning-struck chapel in Mallorca. What they reveal compels her and Fabregat to reignite the Hernandez investigation. Every page she turns conceals a coded message; every street she treads leads her deeper into the labyrinth. As Fabregat baits her with suspects, and threats darken her steps, Anna hunts her own prey – the book that began it all, a medieval revelation written in the language of witches and alchemists: The Serpent Papers. Anna believes this book will unlock the mystery. She does not yet know she is the key. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lauren Saunders.

Bosnian Inferno: SAS Operation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But can the SAS lead a civilian population out of war-ravaged Bosnia to safety? Bosnia, 1993. A small army of Serbs, Muslims and Croats, formed to defend the isolated mountain town of Zavik and under the command of Reeve, a renegade Briton, has begun mounting raids further afield in search of food, fuel and medical supplies. All sides in the civil war are enraged by its exploits; even UN mediators recognise the need for its suppression. But there are only two people Reeve will listen to: his ex-wife and an ex-comrade in the SAS. The latter is willing to lead a team into Zavik; the former has first to be found - she is either trapped in Sarajevo or imprisoned in a Serbian concentration camp. Rescuing her is only the beginning. The SAS team will then have to traverse the mountainous war zone and force their way into the besieged town. This will be difficult enough. Fighting their way out of the war-ravaged territory with a convoy of the sick, the old and the very young will be next to impossible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Lailey.

Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
A hilarious and inspiring memoir about one young woman's journey to find a better path to both physical and mental health. At 29, Kelsey Miller had done it all: crash diets, healthy diets, and nutritionist-prescribed "eating plans", which are diets that you pay more money for. She'd been fighting her un-thin body since early childhood and, after a lifetime of failure, finally hit bottom. No diet could transform her body or her life. There was no shortcut to skinny salvation. She'd dug herself into this hole, and now it was time to climb out of it. With the help of an intuitive eating coach and fitness professionals, she learned how to eat based on her body's instincts and exercise sustainably, without obsessing over calories burned and thighs gapped. But with each thrilling step toward a healthy future, she had to contend with the painful truths of her past. Big Girl chronicles Kelsey's journey into self-loathing and disordered eating - and out of it. This is a memoir for anyone who's dealt with a distorted body image, food issues, or a dysfunctional family. It's for the late bloomers and the not yet bloomed. It's for everyone who's tried and failed and felt like a big, fat loser. So, basically, everyone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelsey Miller.

And the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe, Austerity and the Threat to Global Stability , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
In 2008, the universe of Western finance outgrew planet Earth. When Wall Street imploded, a death embrace between insolvent banks and bankrupt states consumed Europe. Half a dozen national economies imploded, and several more came close. But the storm is far from over.... From the aftermath of the Second World War to the present, Varoufakis recounts how the eurozone emerged not as a route to shared prosperity but as a pyramid scheme of debt with countries such as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain at its bottom. Its woeful design ensured that collapse would be inevitable and catastrophic. But since the hurricane landed, Europe's leaders have chosen a cocktail of more debt and harsh austerity rather than reform, ensuring that the weakest citizens of the weakest nations pay the price for the bankers' mistakes while doing nothing to prevent the next collapse. Instead, the principle of the greatest austerity for those suffering the greatest recessions has led to a resurgence of racist extremism. Once more Europe is a potent threat to global stability. Drawing on the personal experience of his own negotiations with the eurozone's financiers and offering concrete policies and alternatives, Varoufakis shows how we concocted this mess and how we can get out of it. And the Weak Suffer What They Must? reminds us of our history in order to save European capitalism from itself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leighton Pugh, Yanis Varoufakis.

Don't Mess with the Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min
Karen and her friends Jimmy, Doug, and David were avid ghost hunters in their town. They were always excited to find a new location that no other ghost hunters had explored. Karen and her friends were driving around after midnight on a windy night, bored of not being able to find a new location. Just as they were about to give up, David said, "Stop!" Doug replied, "You scared the crap out of me. I almost ran the car off the road!" "Sorry, but I just remembered when I was just a little boy, I used to walk down this old dirt road with my best friend, Tommy, and we used to read the writings on the tombstones. Tommy told me a family of witches were buried in this unmarked cemetery. Of course I had nightmares quite frequent that the family of witches would come out of their graves and kill me someday. But when I got a little older, my friend Tommy told me he made the story up just to scare me since I was so much younger than he was. He knew I was a scaredy-cat and would probably have nightmares. Boy was he right: I had so many nightmares about that cemetery that I wouldn't step foot on that dirt road if you gave me a million dollars. Now that I'm so much older now and not afraid of any ghosts. I think it would be pretty cool to check out the cemetery I was so afraid of so long ago," explained David. Doug answered, "Well, since we're all here and there have been no exciting ghost sightings, we may as well check out the cemetery for any witches." Doug drove the car down the old dirt road and as he approached the location of the cemetery he said, "Look I think I saw something by one of the tombstones. It's probably nothing." Karen laughed and said, "It's probably one of the witches welcoming us to the cemetery." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Adashefski.
