    The Red Tent (eBook, ePUB)
    'Intensely moving . . . feminist . . . a riveting tale of love' Observer Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her fate is merely hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the verses of the Book of Genesis that recount the life of Jacob and his infamous dozen sons. Anita Diamant's The Red Tent is an extraordinary and engrossing tale of ancient womanhood and family honour. Told in Dinah's voice, it opens with the story of her mothers - the four wives of Jacob - each of whom embodies unique feminine traits, and concludes with Dinah's own startling and unforgettable story of betrayal, grief and love. Deeply affecting and intimate, The Red Tent is a feminist classic which combines outstandingly rich storytelling with an original insight into women's society in a fascinating period of early history. Such is its warmth and candour, it is guaranteed to win the hearts and minds of women across the world.

    Design, Heidegger, and the Earth
    Humanity is racing to find designed solutions to our environmental crisis. But what if designing itself was the cause of the crisis? This book argues that design, including 'sustainable' design, is at the heart of our crisis of unsustainability. Only when design's complicity in this crisis is understood, can sustainable human environments be conceived. Using the work of the controversial philosopher Martin Heidegger, this book constructs a radically different understanding of the design process. With this understanding, design in modernity is shown to be the engine of consumption of the Earth. Ironically, the conviction that that we can find designed solutions to our crisis of unsustainability may be the real danger facing the Earth. For those interested in design and design theory, this book offers a fundamentally different account of the design process. For those interested in Heideggerian thought, this book uses design to explore the 'positive role' of consciousness hinted at, but rarely investigated, in Heidegger's work. For those concerned about our crisis of unsustainability, this book offers a new way to conceive the forces accelerating the crisis.

    Further Collected Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 133min
    Further Collected Poems contains selected lyrics from 2001 to 2017, divided roughly by theme or subject. You and I is about relationships, We is about society and institutions, He is about religion and spirituality, Visions is about ideas, and Beauty's Mead is about art. The poems are in and out of form, in many modes and voices, simple and complex, hopeful and tragic. The common thread is a conviction that there is an order and a goodness behind and beyond all absurdity, if we will seek it and be open to it. Much thinking is involved. It is the thinking of the heart, and nature and the physical world, as well as music and tradition, can be helpful in following the path. Yet in our best moments, we soar beyond the known world and catch a glimpse of ultimate things and have a new vision of possibility. Some of those moments are captured here as though in a photograph, while others are only desired or hinted at. By their very nature, such things are meant to be shared; hence, this book. ungekürzt.

    Fresh from his latest collaboration with Terry Pratchett on the Long Earth sequence Stephen Baxter now returns to the mysteries and challanges first hinted at in his acclaimed novel PROXIMA. In PROXIMA we discovered ancient alien artifacts on the planet of Per Ardua - hatches that allowed us to step across light years of space as if we were stepping into another room. The universe opened up to us. Now in ULTIMA the consequences of this new freedom make themselves felt. And we discover that there are minds in the universe that are billions of years old and they have a plan for us. For some of us. But as we learn the true nature of the universe we also discover that we have countless pasts all meeting in this present and that our future is terrifyingly finite. It's time for us to fight to take back control. This is grand scale, big idea SF of the best possible sort. It is set to build on the massive success of PROXIMA and define Stephen Baxter's work going forward. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kyle McCarley.

    In the Scottish Highlands, and with the last lines of the movie Brigadoon fresh in her mind, Irene Redmond signs up for a tour, hoping to uncover secrets hinted at in her mother’s diary.

Sparks fly when Logan and Irene meet, but their budding romance is tested when they learn the conditions needed for their return to the twenty-first century. Like Brigadoon, the castle is enchanted, and only a marriage between two people who truly love each other will break the spell— and vows must be said before midnight.   Irene expected to unravel family secrets; instead she meets a fellow tour guest whose kisses awaken long-ago dreams of happily-ever-after. But are their feelings strong enough to break the castle's enchantment? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Glen Pavlovich.

    Photographs of My Father , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    At the National Council of Churches, Robert Spike had organized American churches to support the passage of both the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, to march in Selma, and to organize in Mississippi. An important white leader in the black civil rights struggle, he helped the LBJ White House pass legislation and write crucial civil rights speeches. In the midst of what he described as "the dirtiest fight of my life" while struggling to save a federal Mississippi education program, he was viciously murdered in Columbus, Ohio. The murder was never solved. Very little effort went into finding the murderer. The Columbus police and the FBI hinted the unsolved murder was connected to Spike's undisclosed gay life. During his father's rise in the civil rights movement, Paul Spike lived a life typical of a young man in the 1960s, finding his way through a labyrinth of booze, drugs, and girls. At Columbia University, he was active in the 1968 student rebellion and friends with many SDS radicals. That rootless life ended with his father's murder. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In this new stand-alone novella from New York Times best-selling author Laini Taylor comes the story of a romantic, funny, and fantastical first date.

Told in alternating perspectives, it's the perfect love story for fans of the series and new listeners alike. Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her "rabid fairy," her "voodoo eyes" are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or "Violin Boy," her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself! Violin Boy's not going to know what hit him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Khristine Hvam, Kevin T. Collins.
