How to Get High Without Drugs, Hörbuch, Digital, 63min
Although less incendiary than the explosive Lenny Bruce and more homespun than the irascible Bill Hicks, Ryan Singer nonetheless shares DNA with those great comic commandos, each of whom shot from the lip with howitzers. On How to Get High Without Drugs, Singer seemingly lobs softballs instead of hand grenades when deftly and cleverly deriding hypocrites, homophobes and bigots. But just because he camouflages his contempt in sarcasm does not make him any less of a prickly provocateur than his predecessors. Unlike his heavyweight forbears Bruce and Hicks, Singer merely jabs at his witless targets throughout his set. Although he pulls his punches, his perceptive comic points nevertheless stick in listeners' minds long after the performance ends 59 minutes later - his real objective, agreed? Language: English.

Sweet Home Everywhere: The Life and Times of an Unlikely Rock and Roll Anthem , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
Released in 1974, Sweet Home Alabama has become synonymous with Southern rock. From its opening guitar riff, it is instantly recognizable, a raucous, irreverent defense of a Deep South state and its segregationist governor against the jabs of Neil Young. But the roots of Lynyrd Skynyrd's best-selling anthem go much deeper than regional pride or resentment of a fellow rocker. In this fresh take on the history of an oft-debated rock classic, journalist Jonathan Bernstein traces the tune's surprising centuries-old origins and incredible global influence, which continues to this day. Sweet Home Everywhere is the story of a song that has enthralled, enraged, and confused listeners for 40 years. Jonathan Bernstein is a freelance music journalist and fact-checker based in New York. His writing has appeared in Oxford American, Rolling Stone, Time, and American Songwriter, among others. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Stillwell.

The Dot
With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark — and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.- Shop: buecher

Rigaer Tagebuch 1917-1920
»Da dieses Jahr ein so ereignisreiches ist, beschloss ich ein Tagebuch zu führen ...« Als die 12jährige Dagmar Kopfstahl aus Riga im März 1917 die ersten Sätze in ihr neues Tagebuch schrieb, ahnte sie nicht, dass sie Chronistin eines Epochenwandels werden würde. Über drei Jahre dokumentierte sie, Angehörige der deutschen Minderheit, ihren Alltag, ihre Beobachtungen und auch ihre Meinungen als am Ende des 1. Weltkrieges um sie herum in vielen Kämpfen aus einer Provinz des Russischen Zarenreiches ein neuer Staat entstand: Die Republik Lettland.Dem vollständigen Text des Tagebuchs vorangestellt ist eine Einführung von Ojars Sparitis. In einem weiteren Aufsatz setzt sich Ivars jabs mit der deutschbaltischen Geschichte auseinander. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch einen Beitrag von Elena Ilgmann, die in verständlicher Weise in die wenig bekannte Geschichte des baltischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges und die deutsche Verwicklung in diesen von 1917 bis 1920 dauernden Kampf einführt.Ein authentisches Stück Zeitgeschichte- Shop: buecher

Fire and Clay (eBook, ePUB)
FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE NOJA LINA Who will end up getting burned when they collide? Ian is a skilled but foulmouthed photographer with an aversion to meeting new people, a short fuse and a relatively short stature. One evening, he starts a squabble with Victor before knowing that Victor is the best friend of Ian's current crush. With them being in the same social circle and Victor being a model and theater actor, they keep meeting over the course of several months. Their interactions feature an array of jabs at the other's height, mild aggression and attempts to mock or one-up the other. But, through instances of Ian involuntarily showing his caring side and Victor showing what he's made of, several sparks and serious talks, some denial and three successful photoshoots, their relationship gradually evolves. Will they get past their initial animosity? Will they get burned by colliding with the other? Or will fire come in contact with clay to create something beautiful?- Shop: buecher
