The Buddha in the Attic
Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award For Fiction National Book Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist A New York Times Notable Book A gorgeous novel by the celebrated author of When the Emperor Was Divine that tells the story of a group of young women brought from Japan to San Francisco as "picture brides" nearly a century ago. In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war. Once again, Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times.- Shop: buecher

The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science - and Reality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
Best-selling author Chris Mooney uses cutting-edge research to explain the psychology behind why today’s Republicans reject reality - it’s just part of who they are. From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy, and much more. Why won’t Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts? Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments to explain why conservatives today believe more wrong things, appear more likely than Democrats to oppose new ideas and less likely to change their beliefs in the face of new facts, and sometimes respond to compelling evidence by doubling down on their current beliefs. Certain to spark discussion and debate, The Republican Brain also promises to add to the lengthy list of persuasive scientific findings that Republicans reject and deny. Chris Mooney is the best-selling author of The Republican War on Science, the host of the Point of Inquiry podcast, and the author of The Intersection blog for Science Progress. He has written several books, as well as articles for Mother Jones, American Prospect, Harper’s, Washington Post, USA Today, and Slate. He has appeared on The Last Word, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Book TV, Science Friday, Morning Joe, and Fresh Air, among other programs. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Neither Bullets Nor Ballots: Essays on Voluntaryism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
The Voluntaryists are libertarians who have organized to promote non-political strategies to achieve a free society. We reject electoral politics, in theory and in practice as incompatible with libertarian goals. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably strengthen that legitimacy. Voluntarists seek instead to delegitimize the state through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which state power ultimately depends. ungekürzt.

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 274min
A band of savage 13-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disallusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Nishii.

We've all heard the reasons why some men cheat. But what's the psychology behind the women who take cheaters back? Why do some women feel biologically driven to reject a man who cheats with his ex while other women take back serial cheaters? A man is her hero in the midst of the love bombing, but a villain narcissist when he leaves. Author Laura Cone points out the dangerous side of a "co-dependent" woman who is not as virtuous about love as she seems. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Cone.

The Apathetic Schizoid: Cold and Aloof: Schizoid Sanctuary, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
There are many people with schizoid personality disorder who are roaming planet Earth. They don't feel quite connected to the other people who are around them. They are quite content to live their lives without much interaction with other human beings. Who are these eccentric individuals? Why do they enjoy being alone when others enjoy having a companion? Why do they reject or ignore the affections of other people who might be drawn to their mysterious personality? Why do they keep to themselves so much, even when reaching out to others might be a necessity for their own survival at times? People with schizoid personality disorder often do not think of themselves as "disordered". They may feel that their personality traits have always existed in the fabric of their very being. They often reject the notion that they need help from anyone else. They are rather delighted in the fact that they are self-sufficient. They seem to be comfortable and content with their introversion. Many schizoids, though, do feel a profound sense of loneliness. Humans do generally have a deep need for some sense of belongingness and acceptance that is wired within them. It is the schizoid that may have cut himself off from and learned to ignore this sense of need for others. He may have done it for self-protective reasons (abuse) or may have become self-centric to the point where the need for acceptance from others runs secondary to his needs for isolation. ungekürzt.
