    Epic adventure in a strange world by the author of The War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy Trilogy. A thousand years ago, the sea began to change, and the change spread. Now the boiling, toxic, lightning-wreathed Atomic Sea has encompassed every ocean on the planet, and the creatures that live in it have become mutated and unnatural. The sea's taint can infect any human who comes in contact with it or with unprocessed seafood, killing them...or altering them. No one knows why the sea has become this way or what it portends, only that it's irrevocably changed the world. Meanwhile, world war has erupted, and the small country of Ghenisa, like many others, is tottering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of the Empire of Octung. Middle-aged widower Dr. Francis Avery is aboard a military whaling ship far out on the Atomic Sea when a series of murders onboard propels him down a rabbit hole of danger and terror unlike any other. Soon he becomes aware of a spy on the ship, but that's just the beginning. With the help of the grizzled whaler Janx and a mysterious woman named Layanna, he will embark on an epic quest to save Ghenisa from Octung and unravel the secrets of the Atomic Sea. This is the fourth volume of a multi-part saga of epic fantasy/science-fiction adventure and high stakes in an awe-inspiring world unlike any you've ever seen before.

    Farming for the Long Haul: Resilience and the Lost Art of Agricultural Inventiveness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
    It’s all but certain that the next 50 years will bring enormous, not to say cataclysmic, disruptions to our present way of life. World oil reserves will be exhausted within that time frame, as will the lithium that powers today’s most sophisticated batteries, suggesting that transportation is equally imperiled. And there’s another, even more dire limitation that is looming: at current rates of erosion, the world’s topsoil will be gone in 60 years. Fresh water sources are in jeopardy, too. In short, the large-scale agricultural and food delivery system as we know it has at most a few decades before it exhausts itself and the planet with it. Farming for the Long Haul is about building a viable small-farm economy that can withstand the economic, political, and climatic shock waves that the 21st century portends. It draws on the innovative work of contemporary farmers, but more than that, it shares the experiences of farming societies around the world that have maintained resilient agricultural systems over centuries of often-turbulent change. Indigenous agriculturalists, peasants, and traditional farmers have all created broad strategies for survival through good times and bad, and many of them prospered. They also developed particular techniques for managing soil, water, and other resources sustainably. Some of these techniques have been taken up by organic agriculture and permaculture, but many more of them are virtually unknown, even among alternative farmers. This book lays out some of these strategies and presents techniques and tools that might prove most useful to farmers today and in the uncertain future. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Pity the Billionaire: The Unexpected Resurgence of the American Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    From the best-selling author of What's the Matter with Kansas?, a wonderfully insightful and sardonic look at how the worst economy since the 1930s has brought about the revival of conservatism. Economic catastrophe usually brings social protest and demands for change - or at least it's supposed to. But when Thomas Frank set out in 2009 to look for expressions of American discontent, all he could find were loud demands that the economic system be made even harsher on the recession's victims and that society's traditional winners receive even grander prizes. The American right, which had seemed moribund after the election of 2008, was strangely reinvigorated by the arrival of hard times. The Tea Party movement demanded not that we question the failed system but that we reaffirm our commitment to it. Republicans in Congress embarked on a bold strategy of total opposition to the liberal state. And TV phenom Glenn Beck demonstrated the commercial potential of heroic paranoia and the purest libertarian economics. In Pity the Billionaire, Frank, the great chronicler of American paradox, examines the peculiar mechanism by which dire economic circumstances have delivered wildly unexpected political results. Using firsthand reporting, a deep knowledge of the American right, and a wicked sense of humor, he gives us the first full diagnosis of the cultural malady that has transformed collapse into profit, reconceived the Founding Fathers as heroes from an Ayn Rand novel, and enlisted the powerless in a fan club for the prosperous. What it portends is ominous for both our economic health and our democracy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Frank.

    Fragrance Mysticism: And Other Out-of-Body Travel Roles and Methods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1127min
    Fragrance mysticism portends to the aromas of particular events or places in the realms and spheres of out-of-body travel and could be said to be a mystical theology of the path of purification leading to union with the Divine. Every out-of-body experience or event contains an energy, a fragrance, an aroma, which permeates the atmosphere and contains within it the knowledge of that realm. The out-of-body traveler must absolutely inhale the fragrance of the arising spheres in order to take within the soul the molecular and cellular structure of such mystical atmospheres, allowing the knowledge contained to self-embody without effort on the traveler's part. In such a manner, the cells of the sphere combine with his own particulate matter and eventide to judgment. By so doing, the out-of-body traveler may take in a fragrance of that which is seen, heard, and elementally acquired. As this occurs, that fragrance converges within his own cells, merging and radiating as the soul gradually conquers again the physical body, bringing cells of higher mind within the confines of the terrestrial sphere and the physical mind. Such energies are transformative and cause alteration within the body, as well as the soul of the out-of-body traveler upon re-entry. In an invisible and fragrant way, the out-of-body traveler contains the meaning of the experience through its fragrance, the manner in which it sensates, by the emanations of the worlds to which he pays heed. And knowledge continues to vibrate into a ceaseless seeking (or having sought) which bears no sounds, words, or fantastic imagery; but rather a sapience which confounds itself to energy alone and can only be expressed as such. ungekürzt.

    The Humem State: The Emergence and Establishment of Our Extended Presence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
    The founder of the Humem State Foundation portends and advocates the next stage in our cultural evolution - the creation of a state for our extended presences.  How can we as individuals benefit from the astounding advances in technology without continuing to surrender the control, ownership, and privacy of our data to corporations and governments? How can we ensure that our personal data will be securely accessible for our lifelong use and that parts of it, in accordance with our wishes, will benefit our families and society in perpetuity? Alan Brook offers fresh answers to these pressing questions and a comprehensive approach to understanding the underlying forces that drive the incessant growth of our digital data and, more generally, our extended presence - our personal imprint on the world exterior to our bodies. Brook advocates establishing formally recognized citizen-like entities, called humems, each encompassing an individual's digital extended presence, within a dedicated landless state environment - the humem-state. He demonstrates how this revolutionary but imminently feasible system can be incrementally instituted within existing jurisdictions, how even its incipient forms will provide immense practical value, and how it opens the way for emancipating these increasingly essential parts of our personas from the dictates of corporations and national governments. He describes how a humem-state existing in conjunction with a nation-state creates the essential foundation for our emerging culture, in which the union of each person and their humem constitutes the fundamental unit of society. Brook presents a compelling outlook for the impending future, but his purpose is above all immediate and actionable: to invite the listener to participate in the collective enterprise that will make this vision a reality - now.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be a ungekürzt.

    Doomsday Series Boxed Set: Terrorism Thrillers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2134min
    A war was brewing within our borders. Not a war with weapons, but one with words. Until now. And so it begins.... The entire five-book terrorism thriller series is now available in a single boxed set. Bobby Akart delivers up-all-night thrillers to listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide. He has sold over one million books in all formats, which includes over 40 international bestsellers, in nearly 50 fiction and nonfiction genres. The Doomsday series depicts America on the edge of societal collapse and destined for war. As the story unfolds, it's New Year's Eve. As the ball drops in Times Square, Americans are preparing for a new year and a bright future. Instead, they find themselves fighting for their lives as the fuse has been lit that sends the country into chaos. With political rancor at an all-time high, the war of words had escalated, and a political war erupts. Americans are caught in the crosshairs of societal unrest and a shadowy group stoking the fires of discontent burning in America. Words are replaced by weapons as neighbor turns on neighbor, and powerful forces stop at nothing to reshape a nation in turmoil. America has become embroiled in something more than a clash of ideologies. She now faces a battle in which the blood of patriots and tyrants would be shed. As Americans struggle to survive, some sought a place of safety where they could ride out the coming storm. However, even if they can overcome the threats confronting them, will they bear witness to an America hell-bent on destroying itself? This is a story of a nation divided, on the cusp of a second civil war, and what that portends for our future.

    Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    Global phenomenon and Sunday Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction, following Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things, which includes a never-before-published American Gods story, "Black Dog". In this new volume, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. Trigger Warning includes previously published pieces of short fiction--stories, verse, and a very special Doctor Who story that was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved series in 2013--as well as "Black Dog", a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods. Trigger Warning is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explores the realm of experience and emotion. In "Adventure Story"--a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane--Gaiman ponders death and the way people take their stories with them when they die. His social media experience, "A Calendar of Tales", is short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets about the months-of-the-year-stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo made of books, and a Mother's Day card that portends disturbances in the universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated mystery tale "The Case of Death and Honey". And "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" explains the creaks and clatter we hear when we're all alone in the darkness. A writer whose creative genius is unparalleled, Gaiman entrances with his literary alchemy, transporting us deep into the realm of imagination, where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday incandescent. Trigger Warning engages the mind, stirs the heart, and shakes the soul. Neil Gaiman is one of the most original and popular literary artists of our day. ungekürzt. Language: English.
