    Exploded, Hörbuch, Digital, 115min
    There are certain defining events that occur to people.The sort of things we tend to use as markers in the timetables of our lives. Birth and Deaths. Marriages and Divorces. Windfalls and Calamities.They become the things that other things happen before and after. These events scramble our sensibilities to leave us blinking at the landscape like we've never seen it before - shell shocked for a time.I was exploded at about seven o'clock in the morning, May 27, 1975, down a long, dusty road outside of Medford, Oregon. It's taken this long for all the pieces to come back together again - and here they are. Tom Bodett Language: English. Narrator: Tom Bodett, Johnny B..

    Bingo: A Jonas Kirk Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
    Bingo is a simple game, a format for gossip, fun, and occasional windfalls of cash. Yet in Woodland Park, it seems to trigger burglaries and murder. Key personalities focus on these frightening events, among them, Bishop Leland Burkey, and Lt. Chester Devlin, each especially frustrated at their inability to calm a nervous community absorbing Muslim and Sikh arrivals.  Jonas Kirk returns from a self-imposed hiatus and finds himself working with a new and seductive personality, Sharon Cunningham. Fancy that - Lady Justice and Mr. Scales.  Can Bishop Burkey sanction their work? Can Devlin? A dramatic announcement captures the crowd and a special Bingo game reveals a secret as Kirk and Cunningham restore stability to Woodland Park. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Rose Point: Her Instruments 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 787min
    Reese is only just getting used to running the Earthrise in the black-and with an Eldritch in her crew-when a trip to a colony world gives rise to a whole new problem: Hirianthial is showing powers that even the Eldritch rarely have, and that only in legend. He badly needs training, support and advice, and the only place he can find them is... at home.To see the world of the Eldritch is a once in a lifetime opportunity, a thing of fantasies and rumor. And to finally meet the Eldritch Queen, the author of so many of Reese's windfalls! You'd have to twist her arm to get her to admit it, but Reese can't wait to go. But a court out of fantasy and a breathtaking land aren't enough compensation when they come packaged with a rabidly xenophobic species whose world is falling apart. The last thing they want any part of is some mortal interloper.Is Reese ready for the Eldritch world? Better to ask: are they ready for her?Book 2 of the Her Instruments trilogy, which begins with Book 1, Earthrise. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Dorse.

    The Fortune Tellers: Inside Wall Street's Game of Money, Media, and Manipulation, Hörbuch, Digital, 235min
    Just as "spin" has taken over politics in America, so too has it come to define the long bull market on Wall Street. The booming trade in stocks has produced an insatiable demand for financial intelligence. On television and the Internet, commentators and analysts are not merely reporting the news, they are making news in ways that provide huge windfalls for some investors and crushing losses for others. And they often traffic in rumor, speculation, and misinformation that hit the market at warp speed. New York Times best selling author Howard Kurtz turns his skeptical eye on the business-media revolution that has transformed the American economy. He uncovers the backstage pressures at television shows like CNBC's Squawk Box and CNN's Moneyline and at Internet start-ups like TheStreet.com and JagNotes, real-time operations in the very arena where fortunes are made and lost with stunning swiftness. No one has ever reported from inside the Wall Street media machine or laid bare the bitter feuds, cozy friendships, and whispered leaks that move the markets. In a time of head-spinning volatility, The Fortune Tellers is essential audio listening for all of us who gamble our savings in today's overheated stock market. Language: English. Narrator: Howard Kurtz. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/sans/000215/bk_sans_000215_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Futilitarians: Our Year of Thinking, Drinking, Grieving, and Reading , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 507min
    A memoir of friendship and literature chronicling a search for meaning and comfort in great books, and a beautiful path out of grief. Anne Gisleson had lost her twin sisters, had been forced to flee her home during Hurricane Katrina, and had witnessed cancer take her beloved father. Before she met her husband, Brad, he had suffered his own trauma, losing his partner and the mother of his son to cancer in her young 30s. "How do we keep moving forward," Anne asks, "amid all this loss and threat?" The answer: "We do it together." Anne and Brad, in the midst of forging their happiness, found that their friends had been suffering their own losses and crises as well: loved ones gone, rocky marriages, tricky childrearing, jobs lost or gained, financial insecurities or unexpected windfalls. Together, these resilient New Orleanians formed what they called the Existential Crisis Reading Group, jokingly dubbed "The Futilitarians". From Epicurus to Tolstoy, from Cheever to Amis to Lispector, each month they read and talked about identity, parenting, love, mortality, and life in post-Katrina New Orleans, gatherings that increasingly fortified Anne and helped her blaze a trail out of her well-worn grief. Written with wisdom, soul, and a playful sense of humor, The Futilitarians is a guide to living curiously and fully and a testament to the way that even from the toughest soil of sorrow, beauty and wonder can bloom. ungekürzt.

    A Maritime History of Scotland 1650-1790 (eBook, ePUB)
    This text traces the development of the Scottish marine and its institutions during the highly turbulent and formative period 1650-1790, when state intervention and warefare at sea in the pursuit of mercantilist goals largely determined, intentionally and otherwise, the course of events. The book charts Scotland's frustrated attempts to join England in the Atlantic economy and so secure her prosperity - an often bitter relationship that culminated in the Darien Disaster. In the years that followed, maritime affairs were at the heart of the schism that propelled the move to embrace the full incorporating Act of Union of 1707. After 1707 Scottish maritime aspirations flourished under the protection of the British Navigation acts and the windfalls of endemic warfare at sea. The impact of major events, domestic and international, on Scottish maritime affairs has been place in context of the changes of the prevailing system. Warfare has particular relevance as the isolated location of many Scottish ports and sea areas actively encouraged enemy shipping to penetrate deep into Scottish home waters.The national and regional experience has, therefore, been set in "war and peace" apsects covering three periods: 1651-1755, 1756-75 and 1776-91, each a distinct phase in Scotland's participation in the evolving mercantilist trading system when a major war provided the principal catalyst for change.
