    Slumdog Millionaire, Hörbuch, Digital, 367min
    Ram Mohammad Thomas has been arrested for answering 12 questions correctly on "Who Will Win A Billion?". Because a poor orphan who has never gone to school cannot name the smallest planet in the solar system, or the plays of Shakespeare...unless he has cheated. Ram prepares his defence by reviewing TV footage of the show, and takes us on an amazing tour of his life. From the day he is rescued from a dustbin, to his encounter with a security-crazed Australian colonel, and a spell as an over-creative guide at the Taj Mahal, Ram's survival instincts are infallible. Stunning an audience of millions, he draws on a store of street wisdom and trivia to provide him with the essential keys, not only to the quiz show, but to life itself. Language: English.

    Dead Nasty: Calladine and Bayliss, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
    A girl’s body is found in a dustbin. 'Dead Meat' is written on a note found with her. The girl was part of a group of bullies from the local school. But DI Calladine recognises the MO of Craig Donnelly, a killer he thought he’d put away forever. And coincidentally Donnelly has just been released from prison. But when Detective Calladine charges in, he finds out that Donnelly has a watertight alibi and is under the protection of the local vicar, who thinks Donnelly is a changed man. When another girl goes missing from the same group of friends, Calladine must look elsewhere for the killer and comes across a sinister online predator who was in touch with all the girls. DS Ruth Bayliss is back from maternity leave, but even her skills and common sense can’t crack the case. In a race against time, they must stop the killer, someone who may even be close to home, before he continues his vicious killing spree. ungekürzt.

    Incorruptible: Inspector Ikmen Mystery, Book 20 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
    Incorruptible is the gripping new Istanbul crime thriller starring Inspector Ikmen, 'the Morse of Istanbul' (Daily Telegraph), from award-winning author Barbara Nadel. Not to be missed by fans of Donna Leon.In the backstreets of Istanbul, a young woman's body is found. Dumped in a dustbin and covered in cut flowers, she is the victim of a frenzied and vicious stabbing. Inspector Ikmen discovers that the woman was well known in Istanbul. Newspapers had been calling her the blessed woman; cured of cancer in a Christian miracle and a proclaimed messenger of the Virgin Mary. These controversial claims had made her fierce enemies in the predominantly Islamic community and she had unwittingly stirred up divisions amongst the Christians of the city. But as Ikmen digs further into the case he uncovers powerful hatred and dark secrets lurking within her family. And to find the truth he must delve into a toxic world of fear, concealment and lies. The question is: was this a killing in the name of faith or does the answer lie somewhere else? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Barrett.

    My Visit to Venus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    New Saucerian proudly presents My Visit to Venus, the rarest of T. Lobsang Rampa's books. It was rescued from the dustbin by Gray Barker, who provides an excellent introduction in this audiobook. Until now, My Visit to Venus was very difficult to find and very expensive. Finally, this wonderful period piece of ufology has been available to the general public. According to Barker, who first published the book in the 1960s, Rampa's claim that his body had been taken over by a Tibetan Buddhist monk was in no way disproved. In fact, Barker provides a letter from a Tibetan Buddhist scholar stating that Rampa's writings about the inner workings of Tibetan Buddhism were quite accurate and actually revealed closely guarded secrets of the Himalayan monasteries. Knowing this, how does one interpret Rampa's claim to have seen a time travel machine buried deep in a mountain cavern or his claim to have interacted with UFOs and their occupants? If the material in this book is in any way accurate, it sheds a shocking and revealing light on our ancient past, as well as our genetic history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve White.

    The Curiosity Gene: On the Origin of Humankind by Means of Intrinsic Motivation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
    They say curiosity killed the cat. But according to The Curiosity Gene, inquisitiveness actually plays the opposite role - responsible for not only human survival but also our evolutionary advancement to become the most intelligent creature on the planet. This groundbreaking new book by award-winning science writer and computer engineer Alexandros Kourt combines anthropology, archaeology, psychology, and evolution with computer theory to help listeners better understand themselves and the human brain. Kourt explores exciting new scientific territory, revealing a major discovery that will revolutionize the way we understand our past, present, and future selves. Reaching back through hundreds of millennia, he unveils how ancient warfare paved the way for curiosity to define us as human beings. Think of it as the ultimate arms race, where the smartest, most mentally active survived and advanced up the evolutionary tree, leaving their less innovative companions to the dustbin of prehistory. So, in practical terms, what does this dramatic discovery mean for you? Forget New Age adages about happy thoughts attracting happy vibrations. In The Curiosity Gene, you’ll learn how tapping into the very essence of what it means to be human, including pain and difficulty, can result in a more lasting and meaningful form of happiness. ungekürzt.

    The Fandom Menace Volume One - A Fandom Betrayed : The Fandom Menace Volumes, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    In what could be considered a consumer backlash of truly epic proportions, The Fandom Menace has become a beacon to those who want to pursue escapist entertainments without harassment, assault, coercion, or shame. The rise of the truly "toxic" fan in community circles has come. The Fandom Menace is the push-back to that toxicity. The selfish, self-serving, anti-social authoritarians want to control what we see, how we see it, how we feel about it and what we are allowed to say about it. The Fandom Menace are the consumers. They are global. They reflect the reality in our world and of our times in a reaction to "cancel culture'", "outrage culture", and "social justice" mobs roaming unchecked through our cultural landscapes. This community is not political. They want politics out of their entertainment and they want the ideologues who have been given the keys to these vast kingdoms cast out into the wilderness where such socially dangerous aberrations belong. To the dustbin of history with these masked bigots of false virtue. The Fandom Menace is the mainstream. The Fandom Menace are the voice of real people everywhere from every walk of life. We will not be silenced. We do not negotiate with social terrorists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robb Gallo of YouTube Channel Midnight's Edge.

    Playing Through: Modern Golf's Most Iconic Players and Moments , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    The game of golf has been witness to dramatic change since the early 1980s. Technology has relegated polished wooden drivers and wound balls covered with balata to the dustbin of history. The world's great courses have been stretched unfathomable lengths to counter the game's modern champions and the distances they hit the ball. In the end, though, it still comes down to the players. Jim Moriarty has focused his attention on the glory, sacrifice, success, and despair of these champions. In Playing Through, he captures the essence of this most recent, most transformative chapter in golf's long history. He writes of the last great rivalry: Jack Nicklaus versus Tom Watson; the rise of the European juggernaut with Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo; the Ryder Cup spectacles of 1999 and 2012 and the romance of team golf; the tragic loss of Payne Stewart and Ballesteros, both gone too soon; the emergence of the Australians, South Africans, South Americans, and Pacific Rim players in the Presidents Cup; and the man who ruled golf, Tiger Woods. Golf may have changed in the last 35 years, but Moriarty's words show that no matter how far the ball flies, it still pits players against themselves, the elements, and their opponents to remain the game we all know and love. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Mickelson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/095032/bk_acx0_095032_sample.mp3.

    Thor: The Origins, History and Evolution of the Norse God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    Across the rainbow bridge of Asgard, Where the Booming Heavens Roar, You'll behold in breathless wonder, the God of Thunder, Mighty Thor! (Theme song from the television show Mighty Thor [1966]) "In swelling rage | then rose up Thor, - Seldom he sits | when he such things hears, - And the oaths were broken, | the words and bonds, The mighty pledges | between them made." (Völuspá Line #26 from the "Poetic Edda") A hammer no mortal can lift. A flame-haired, fiery storm god. A comic book alien-hero-god who defends humanity. The swastika. Even the name "Thursday" ("Thor's Day"). Despite the virtual disappearance of the indigenous Norse religion and mythology several centuries ago, modern society still regularly encounters the storm god Thor, who continues to be brought back to life in the form of literature and was recently the protagonist in a big-budget Hollywood movie. What is it about this god, out of the hundreds (if not thousands) of deities that were consigned to the dustbin of history by the world's major religions, that so captures people's imaginations today? A better understanding of Thor's appeal can be found in just about every aspect of the history and evolution of the figure over the centuries, including the origins of the god, the evocative imagery used to describe him, and even the parallels between Thor and similar gods and heroes. ungekürzt.
