Gimme the Money , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
Hail Gin's taxi and take a seat for the ride of your life! When we first meet Jindriska/Gin, she is a New York cabbie, a struggling Czech immigrant alternately buoyed-up or battered by life in the guts of the great city. Though married to Talibe, a legal immigrant from West Africa, she lives with Gloria, a Cuban lesbian artist and tiny Josito, the baby of Gloria's jailed friend. Through Alex, the Russian owner of the garage on 47th Street, Gin rents a succession of yellow taxis of dubious reliability and origin. Thus she meets a collection of characters: hookers, Lotharios, fraudsters, friends, lovers, hangers-on, and an architect who once dreamed of changing the skyline of Manhattan. "The gravity of big cities captures us," writes Pekarkova, "and when people let themselves be lured... their inevitable butt-falls can be made gentler only by their love for the City; for the unique and thorny planet." Yet despite Gin's philosophical musings, it's all about the money: Everybody needs it. Gin drives at all hours through the canyons of skyscrapers, along night streets that glisten with slithering rainbows of motor oil and rainwater, seeking fares, trying to save enough cash to pay the rent and to survive. Pekarkova's eye for telling detail, her ironic humor, and her deft ear for dialogue helps to create a powerful tale with plenty of laughs, one that is rich in incident and comes in time to a shattering climax. ungekürzt.

Crimes and Covers (eBook, ePUB)
Violet Waverly sleuths a Thoreau-ly puzzling Christmastime murder in Agatha Award-winning, USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower's fifth Magical Bookshop mystery. Christmas is coming to the Western New York village of Cascade Springs, and so is the long-awaited wedding of Charming Books proprietor Violet Waverly and police chief David Rainwater. Grandma Daisy and Violet's best friend, Sadie, go all out to make the nuptials the event of the season--whether Violet likes it or not. But the reception becomes memorable for all the wrong reasons when a woman's dead body floats by on the frigid Niagara River. Violet is shocked to recognize the deceased as a mysterious woman who visited Charming Books two days before the wedding, toting a rare first edition of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Well aware that a mint condition copy could be worth more than $14,000, Violet told the woman she would have to have the book appraised before she could consider buying it. Most displeased, the woman tucked the precious tome under her arm and stormed out of the shop. Now she's dead, and an enigmatic message scrawled in pen upon her palm reads, "They stole my book." It's a confounding case, indeed. But fortunately, Violet can draw on the resources of her bookshop's magical consciousness, which communicates clues to Violet via quotes from Walden. With Emerson the tuxedo cat and Faulkner the crow at her side, Violet sets out to recover the priceless book by solving a murder most transcendental.- Shop: buecher

The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 810min
The water coming out of your tap is four billion years old and might have been slurped by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. We will always have exactly as much water on Earth as we have ever had. Water cannot be destroyed, and it can always be made clean enough for drinking again. In fact, water can be made so clean that it actually becomes toxic. As Charles Fishman brings vibrantly to life in this delightful narrative excursion, water runs our world in a host of awe-inspiring ways, which is both the promise and the peril of our unexplored connections to it. Taking listeners from the wet moons of Saturn to the water-obsessed hotels of Las Vegas, and from a rice farm in the Australian outback to a glimpse into giant vats of soup at Campbell's largest factory, he reveals that our relationship to water is conflicted and irrational, neglected and mismanaged. Whether we will face a water scarcity crisis has little to do with water and everything to do with how we think about water - how we use it, connect with it, and understand it. Portraying and explaining both the dangers - in 2008, Atlanta came just 90 days from running completely out of drinking water - and the opportunities, such as advances in rainwater harvesting and businesses that are making huge breakthroughs in water productivity, The Big Thirst will forever change the way we think about water, our crucial relationship to it, and the creativity we can bring to ensuring we always have plenty of it. ungekürzt.

Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project, Second Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1326min
Every applicable government agency and almost all mainstream media outlets claim that chemtrails are merely a "conspiracy theory". They say that the lines in the sky are harmless condensation trails and that jet aircrafts have always produced emissions that can linger in the sky for hours as they spread out and form a hazy cloud-cover. They say that anybody who asserts that aircraft are routinely spraying us with toxic materials is crazy. If this is so, then why are we consistently seeing anomalously high levels of toxins in rainwater samples as well as in ambient air samples? Why are there hundreds of scientists and scores of scientific organizations advocating for spraying substances from aircraft and calling it "geoengineering?" Why is there a world-famous PhD scientist who has, in a long series of peer-reviewed journal articles, made the case for chemtrails and shown detailed evidence of their harmful effects? How do we have whistleblowers from the Air Force and the Environmental Protection Agency? How is it that there is a huge, detailed, chronologically consistent body of evidence supporting the notion that the lines in the sky are part of a global weather modification project with roots going back over 100 years? This is just scratching the surface. This book presents the evidence that the government and the mainstream media ignore. This book provides the evidence that what is commonly referred to today as "geoengineering" is an incredibly large, ongoing operation involving the open air spraying of tens of thousands of megatons of toxic waste annually from high-flying jet aircrafts. Believe it or not, the media and the government have not been telling the truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter A. Kirby.

Rain of the Ghosts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
Rain of the Ghosts is the first in Greg Weisman's series about a young girl, Rain Cacique, who discovers she has a mystery to solve, a mission to complete and, oh, yes, the ability to see ghosts. Welcome to the Prospero Keys (or as the locals call them, the Ghost Keys), a beautiful chain of tropical islands on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. It's the last weekend before school starts, and Rain already feels trapped. She works at the bed and breakfast her parents own, making beds, serving breakfast, etc. And it feels to her like her entire life is going to consist of working for tourists on these islands. Sebastian Bohique - her maternal grandfather and the only person who ever makes Rain feel like she could do something important with her life - gives her the gift of an heirloom that's been in the family for 400 years. It's an armband, two gold snakes intertwined, clasping each other's tails in their mouths. But the armband brings gifts of its own: Rain can now see dead people. Starting with the Dark Man, a ghost determined to reveal the Ghost Keys' hidden world of mystery and mysticism, intrigue and adventure. Rain of the Ghosts is an unabridged full-cast recording of Weisman's first novel, with an amazing cast of 20 actors playing 30 roles, sound effects, and a full original musical score. Cast: Thom Adcox, Ed Asner, Jeff Bennett, Steve Blum, Daniella Bobadilla, Jim Cummings, Elisa Gabrielli, Bryton James, Josh Keaton, Eric Lopez, Vanessa Marshall, Jacqueline Obradors, Gregg Rainwater, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Deborah Strang, Joel Swetow, Brittany Uomoleale, Jacob Vargas and Greg Weisman. ungekürzt.
