    The Finch in My Brain: How I forgot how to read but found how to live , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 616min
    'It's eerily joyful to write a foreword for Martino Sclavi's book because five years ago I accepted that he was going to die.' (Russell Brand) Diagnosed with fatal brain cancer, the treatment that follows renders the writer of this extraordinary memoir unable to recognise words. This is the inspiring story he can no longer read. With a foreword by Russell Brand. This is the story of a successful Italian-born, London-based film writer who is suddenly, wholly unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. The prognosis is bad: there's a 98 percent likelihood he'll be dead within 18 months. He undergoes two operations, including one in which he must remain awake throughout. Part of his brain is removed, the part that enables us to recognise written words - to read. As someone who relies on words for his livelihood, his very identity, this presents impossible questions as to what happens next. Defying all predictions, Martino is still very much alive five years on and is writing and being read to by a monotonous computerised voice he calls Alex. His marriage suffered, his relationship with his young son - whom he will never read bedtime stories to again - must be reconfigured and he is made to question all that his previous life gave him, along with his habits, dreams and beliefs. As Sclavi faces the reality of the narrative he's been presented by doctors, he shows us that with determination, it is possible to change that narrative, and in doing so inspires and empowers us all to believe that it is possible to change the stories of our lives. 'Whenever I see Martino I am reminded of how little I know about life and death compared to him. How we don't know what is within us or what may live on the other side. I hope it's as magical and beautiful as this book.' (Russell Brand) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Boyce, Russell Brand - introduction.

    Canine Behaviour Training , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
    What you'll learn from the Canine Behaviour training course: This is an excellent course designed for everyone that lives or works with dogs that should have a good grounding in canine communication and behaviour. It is really important to know how to recognise whether a dog is scared, sad, over-excited, or anxious even if you are only living with one dog. More so if you look after other people's pets in any setting. This course is a complete overview of the modern dog. It covers everything from how the dog evolved and became part of the human existence right through to how his brain works. By studying this you will be learning the most up to date and proven methods of dog communication, training, and how to live a relaxed life with your own dogs. People love dogs. Do we understand dogs though? Can you tell if a dog in the room with you is worried? Do you know what a calming signal is or how long adrenaline takes to leave the body of a dog? Do you know why dogs bite or that although they share most of their DNA with the wolf their behaviour is very different? You will have a greater understanding of dog training and behaviour modification methods and know how they came about as common practice, plus how they affect the dog. You will be able to recognise key body language, gestures, and signals of the dog and learn how you own human body language and reactions often misrepresent your own canine communication attempts. You will also learn the best dog training methods and how to diagnose classic basic behavioural problems and put in place steps for behaviour modification plus have a good understanding of aggression in dogs. ungekürzt.

    The Mind's Eye , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min
    How does the brain perceive and interpret information from the eye? And what happens when the process is disrupted? In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the capacity to recognise faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world - and The Mind’s Eye is testament to the myriad ways that we, as humans, are capable of rising to this challenge. ungekürzt.

It gives us the tools to recognise toxic people and places so that we never need give in to them again. It explains that our freedom lies in our own hands and has to do with making choices and decisions, setting proper boundaries and drawing back from situations in which we tend to feel like victims. This may mean weeding out our address book and going lonely for a while - but never fear, says Dr Cantopher, givers will turn up once we eliminate the takers from our lives. ungekürzt.
