Menage: Wanna Come?: Paranormal Romance, Werewolf Romance, Shifter Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
There was a small knock at the door and Andi gasped, but Trace stilled her. "It's all right," he said. "It's Adam. Is it okay with you if he comes in?" "Comes in to..." she gave him a questioning look. "Comes in to watch, or...maybe more, if the chemistry is right?" He paused. "It's completely your call. I know you're attracted to him, even more than your friend is; I can smell it on you." Was that true? Had she been drawn to Adam as well? She thought back and realized that, yes, she had been attracted to him; she just hadn't given it any thought because Tina had expressed her attraction first. Of course, Tina wasn't there. And Tina didn't know what she knew. "Sure," she said. "Invite him in...." WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is not suitable for all ages. 18+ Only. ungekürzt. Language: English.

From Passion to Peace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
Two themes that recur very frequently in the works of James Allen are passion and purity. However, unlike many writers on moral discipline, the author regards purity as the natural state of man, which has been obscured by passionate attachment to external artefacts. Once the waves of passion are stilled, attachment falls away, allowing the seeker to attain a transcendent purity of vision and thus behold the reality that underlies the illusion of change. In the introduction the author writes: "The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life - calm, wise and beautiful - of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.

The Road to Dien Bien Phu (eBook, ePUB)
A multifaceted history of Ho Chi Minh's climactic victory over French colonial might that foreshadowed America's experience in VietnamOn May 7, 1954, when the bullets stopped and the air stilled in Dien Bien Phu, there was no doubt that Vietnam could fight a mighty colonial power and win. After nearly a decade of struggle, a nation forged in the crucible of war had achieved a victory undreamed of by any other national liberation movement. The Road to Dien Bien Phu tells the story of how Ho Chi Minh turned a ragtag guerrilla army into a modern fighting force capable of bringing down the formidable French army.Taking readers from the outbreak of fighting in 1945 to the epic battle at Dien Bien Phu, Christopher Goscha shows how Ho transformed Vietnam from a decentralized guerrilla state based in the countryside to a single-party communist state shaped by a specific form of "War Communism." Goscha discusses how the Vietnamese operated both states through economics, trade, policing, information gathering, and communications technology. He challenges the wisdom of counterinsurgency methods developed by the French and still used by the Americans today, and explains why the First Indochina War was arguably the most brutal war of decolonization in the twentieth century, killing a million Vietnamese, most of them civilians.Panoramic in scope, The Road to Dien Bien Phu transforms our understanding of this conflict and the one the United States would later enter, and sheds new light on communist warfare and statecraft in East Asia today.- Shop: buecher

World War II Leningrad: A History from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
History describes the 872-day Siege of Leningrad as the most devastating siege in history. The German army had made its way to Leningrad before the city had the opportunity to prepare for an assault, and the consequences were lethal. Accompanied by one of the worst famines in history, as well as a brutally cold winter in 1941-1942, the civilians were doomed. Of the three million people living in Leningrad at the start of the siege, more than a million would be evacuated and approximately another million would die before the assault ended in 1944. Inside you will hear about.... "St. Petersburg: The City of Three Revolutions" "The Fate of Leningrad Under Stalin" "Encircling Leningrad" "Inside Leningrad" "The Road of Life" "The Leningrad Affair" And much more! During those 872 days, Leningrad was rendered numb as people fell dead in the streets and were not placed in coffins because no one had the strength to bury them. People ate their pets and boiled leather for food; they committed murder to obtain ration cards for the meager provisions that the city could provide; some resorted to cannibalism. Kept alive by their fervent patriotism and an astonishing will to survive, the citizens of Leningrad greeted the end of the siege with jubilation. Although they outlasted the Nazis, they could not defeat Josef Stalin as the paranoid leader punished Leningrad and its prominent Party members and stilled the voices of the heroes who lived. But Leningrad did not remain silenced, and the truth finally emerged. It’s a harrowing saga of bravery and brutality, but one that must be told. ungekürzt. Language: English.
