His grandfather's attempts to explain about aging are hard for the boy to understand, but at last he grasps that it is to do with the ticking of the clock.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 388min

This humorous and nostalgic novel takes the listener back to the carefree days of boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, where Mark Twain grew up. Just what did boys do in a small Midwestern town during the mid-1800s, a time when there were no televisions, no arcades, and no videos? They whitewashed fences, floated down rivers, traded marbles, formed secret societies, smoked pipes, and, on occasion, managed to attend their own funerals. Yes, they may have been a bit mischievous, but as Aunt Polly said of Tom when she believed him to be dead, "He was the best-hearted boy that ever was." Aunt Polly's sentiments reveal one of the cardinal tenets of Twain's philosophy: In this deceitful and infirm world, innocence can be found only in the heart of a boy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Miracle Cures: Saints, Pilgrimage, and the Healing Powers of Belief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min

Iconic images of medieval pilgrims, such as Chaucer's making their laborious way to Canterbury, conjure a distant time when faith was the only refuge of the ill and infirm and thousands traveled great distances to pray for healing. Why, then, in an age of advanced biotechnology and medicine, do millions still go on pilgrimages? Why do journeys to important religious shrines - such as Lourdes, Compostela, Fátima, and Medjugorje - constitute a major industry? In Miracle Cures, Robert A. Scott explores these provocative questions and finds that pilgrimage continues to offer answers for many. Its benefits can range from a demonstrable improvement in health to complete recovery. Using research in biomedical and behavioral science, Scott examines accounts of miracle cures at medieval, early modern, and contemporary shrines. He inquires into the power of relics, apparitions, and the transformative nature of sacred journeying and shines new light on the roles belief, hope, and emotion can play in healing. ungekürzt.

Loneliness - Life Bite Series, Hörbuch, Digital, 6min

Life Bite Series. Loneliness can be very debilitating. You can feel lonely right in the middle of a bunch of friends and family that love you. You don't have to isolated to be lonely. However the most common cause of loneliness is a degree of selfishness, a selfishness that thinks of oneself more than sharing with others.It can even become habitual and self consuming so that one lives in a bubble of "all about me" and then starts to feel that "I can't be bothered" or "it will be late" or "An excuse here" and so on. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere or are infirm then there is no excuse to be lonely other that the actions you take yourself to make it so.You can always phone people and if you ever say to yourself "I phoned them last time" then you have just shot yourself in the foot by announcing what a narrow cheapskate you really are.

Bold Robin Hood and His Outlaw Band: Their Famous Exploits in Sherwood Forest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min

The legend of Robin Hood was based on the career of a real outlaw who lived in the forests near Nottingham, England, in the last half of the 12th century. His character has become world famous and is the subject of hundreds of plays, novels, stories, and films. As a man of the people who was a partisan for the lower classes, he also became strongly associated with an anticlerical yet pious Christian attitude, an animosity toward the sheriff of Nottingham, and a special regard toward women, children, and the infirm. The chief aspect of his fame was his penchant for robbing the undeserving rich and redistributing their money among the poor. His adversaries are forever being fooled by Robin's disguises, and they are driven to fury by his mocking wit and clever ruses for avoiding capture. Listen along as merry Robin Hood, Little John, Friar Tuck, and their outlaw band keep you entertained for many an exciting hour.

Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of the Medical Mistakes That Kill and Injure Millions of Americans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min

Up to 100,000 Americans die each year as a result of some form of medical mistake. And this is just the reported number of deaths. The total number of deaths and other disabilities is estimated to be triple (or more) of what's actually reported. This book takes you behind the scenes to expose heartbreaking stories of medical malpractice, careless misdiagnosis, and downright neglect on the part of health-care personnel across the country. Victims are young and old, healthy and infirm, who innocently entrusted their lives to those who took an oath to "do no harm". Yet doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, and other medical professionals cover up mistakes every day. This is the complete story of the breadth and depth of medical mistakes. Gibson puts real names and faces to the countless that suffer and die every day because of ineptitude, poor quality, and lack of management in a system that is badly broken. Doctors and nurses also provide first-hand accounts of what actually goes on behind the curtains, describing the mistakes that do happen, but also how terrifyingly close every practitioner is, every moment, to disaster. ungekürzt.

Saint Philip Neri , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min

Apostle of the Laity, Philip begins to evangelize...Being of the laity and never feeling worthy to be a priest, Philip Neri desired nothing but to serve as a lay man. He had been preaching in the hospitals and on the street corners, waiting for the office workers to leave for lunch or home. He would speak to them and instruct them with the true teachings of the church.He taught with such love and such fire that more and more came and stayed longer and longer, until they began following him, visiting the poor and the infirm. The confraternity of the laity was formed! The confraternity was not only filled with these young people, now on fire for the faith, but with the nobility. The apostolate took on the care of poor pilgrims coming to Rome for the Holy Year. Since most of them arrived sick, tired, and without much to eat, having walked hundreds of miles under the worst conditions, they had need not only of a place to stay, but often a hospital. Saint Philip and his confraternity set up the first pilgrims' houses in Rome, where they could stay a short time, convalesce, or receive more intensive hospital care. ungekürzt. Language: English.
