How to Amputate a Leg and Other Ways to Stay Out of Trouble: True Tales from War Zones and Other Disaster Areas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min

Tall tales, all true, about guns, bombs, car chases, spiders, exotic locales, men in uniform, and dancing girls - with deadpan delivery and a social conscience. "I remember the advertisement to join the Army. It asked for guys who were fit, committed, tough, volunteer parachutists, comfortable in the ocean, and mature. As a surfer, that sounded like me - except for the mature bit." Nathan Mullins is an ex-cop, ex-soldier, ex-security consultant, and an Australian Aid International volunteer, so he's experienced all sorts of dangerous stuff involving guns, explosions, surgical procedures, combat, sword-play, rioting, and other potentially life-threatening behaviors all over the world. He has been lucky to survive his assignments - and hijinks - so he decided to share a few cautionary tales so everyone else can learn from his near misses. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Rothschilds Geige, Hörbuch, Digital, 25min

In einem Städtchen, das noch kleiner als ein Dorf ist, lebt der Sargmacher Jakow Iwanow Sargtischler mit seiner Lebensgefährtin Marfa. Jakow ist dermaßen geizig und faul, dass er ständig nur Ausreden gebraucht, um sein klägliches Dasein und vor allem seinen Misserfolg und seine Trägheit zu rechtfertigen. An allen möglichen Namens-, Feier-, und Montagen wäre es Sünde zu arbeiten, aufgrund der schlechten Auftragslage muss man sparen und die Schuld an seiner Misere haben natürlich immer die anderen. Marfa muss statt Tee heißes Wasser trinken und als sie stirbt, zeigt Jakow keinerlei Gefühlsregung, sondern bewundert den stabilen Sarg, den er gezimmert hat. Sein neurotischer Sparsamkeitswahn geht so weit, dass er für Handlungen, die er als möglichen Verdienstmoment andenkt, die Verluste berechnet, die anfallen, weil er diese Handlungen nicht durchgeführt hat. Seinen Ärger lässt er am Juden Rothschild aus, der sich weiß Gott was einbildet und außerdem schrecklich nach Knoblauch stinkt. deutsch. Friedrich Frieden. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lily/001018/bk_lily_001018_sample.mp3.

Battling the Gods: Atheism in the Ancient World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min

Long before the European Enlightenment and the Darwinian revolution, which we often take to mark the birth of the modern revolt against religious explanations of the world, brave people doubted the power of the gods. Religion provoked skepticism in ancient Greece, and heretics argued that history must be understood as a result of human action rather than divine intervention. They devised theories of the cosmos based on matter and notions of matter based on atoms. They developed mathematical tools that could be applied to the world around them and tried to understand that world in material terms. Their skepticism left a rich legacy of literature, philosophy, and science and was defended by great writers like Epicurus, Lucretius, Cicero, and Lucian. Tim Whitmarsh tells the story of the tension between orthodoxy and heresy with great panache, a story that ended - for the moment - with the imposition of Christianity on the Roman Empire in 313 CE. ungekürzt.

8 Habits of Love: Open Your Heart, Open Your Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min

A spiritual guidebook to living life through love and connection, not fear and isolation, by a respected pastor and a frequent guest on Oprah's Soul Series. Reverend Bacon believes that every person can live a full and creative life if they can learn to move through troubling emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness to find the beloved within themselves.

How do I forgive those who have hurt me? How do I talk candidly with difficult people? How do I best help others when they need it? And How do I let go of the past and move forward? ungekürzt.
