    Freedom Evolves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    Can there be freedom and free will in a deterministic world? Renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett emphatically answers "yes!" Using an array of provocative formulations, Dennett sets out to show how we alone among the animals have evolved minds that give us free will and morality. Weaving a richly detailed narrative, Dennett explains in a series of strikingly original arguments - drawing upon evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy - that far from being an enemy of traditional explorations of freedom, morality, and meaning, the evolutionary perspective can be an indispensable ally. In Freedom Evolves, Dennett seeks to place ethics on the foundation it deserves: a realistic, naturalistic, potentially unified vision of our place in nature. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    True Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    Michael Finkel was a top New York Times Magazine journalist publicly fired and disgraced for making up a composite character for a big investigative news piece about Africa. This audiobook is about how this brilliant, high achieving journalist found himself at that point in his life. But in parallel it's also about Christian Longo, a man accused of the multiple murder of his own wife and three children. After the deaths, Longo fled to Mexico, where he passed himself off as Michael Finkel, New York Times journalist. These two weird stories come together as Finkel in turn becomes fascinated (perhaps obsessed) with Longo the accused murderer, who while in prison and during his trial would talk only to Finkel.

    The Looters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    From the author of The New York Times number one best-selling novel The Carpetbaggers comes the story of Madison Dupre, a young and ambitious art curator who is fixated on reaching the top of the rarefied world of priceless antiquities - an insular playground of the mega-rich, the super-privileged and even the occasional money launderer. This glamorous world is also a world of unimaginable ugliness and ego. As curator of the prestigious Piedmont Collection, Madison is a rising star who knows how to ruthlessly play the game. She's there to win, no matter what it takes. When the crown jewel for the museum comes up for auction, the death mask of an ancient queen known as "The Whore of Babylon", she's determined to acquire it - and does, during a highly charged auction with the world watching. During the celebratory press conference, a mysterious Iraqi erupts, claiming Navy Seals and Hussein's Republican Guard looted the mask from the National Museum during the fall of Baghdad. Though dismissed as the ranting of a lunatic, Madison and her employer understand the gravity of the accusation: If true, Madison committed a felony by buying stolen goods and lost a fortune. Madison quickly realizes she's being framed. But by whom? Why? And when the Iraqi is murdered, Madison becomes the prime suspect. Grasping that she's been betrayed by "friends" and is now being stalked by killers, she runs - determined to clear her name. Madison finds herself on an international odyssey spinning in a vortex of deceit and falls into the arms of a mercenary who just might be able to keep her alive as she fights for her life.

As he transforms from a traumatized boy to an exceptional student athlete and finally to an ambitious assistant DA, he learns to hide a crippling fear behind a stony mask. Until she turns 13, Bettina (Tina) Berenson is a shy, bookish girl rejected by both parents.

Reveling in the attention Tina's striking beauty generates, he's oblivious to the potential danger to his impressionable daughter. And when he dies two years later, the distraught and lonely 15-year-old girl is easy prey for a charismatic crime lord. When a vicious mobster goes on trial, fate brings Jake and Tina together. Tina, former mob mistress, is the key witness, and Jake, the prosecuting attorney, is repelled by her past but obsessed with her physical presence.

    Quantum Entanglement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    A great American author once wrote: Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from technology. Or something like that. In the late '90s, scientists at the Superconducting Super Collider in Texas discovered a link to the quantum world that allowed people to manipulate the energy of the universe with thought alone. Now, magic is everywhere and almost anyone is able to use it, with the proper license.It has elevated medicine, science, and culture to stratospheric heights and changed the face of our world. But magic isn't as new as people think. It's been with us for quite some time. And as the saying goes, "With great power..."Ocelot is a world-class assassin with a style all her own. She avoids connections, dislikes obligations, and would sell her own sister to the mob (but just that once) to avoid being drawn into someone else's drama. So, naturally, she is drawn in and finds herself working with a mage to prevent a major corporation from throwing the delicate balance of science, magic, and the law out the window. Even though there is nothing she would rather do less, a promise is a promise. And a promise to a dragon is...well, still a promise. But it's also a promise to a dragon! ungekürzt. Language: English.
