The Ghost in the Chair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
Lettice Galbraith is as mysterious as the stories she wrote. She appeared on the literary scene in 1893 with a rash of short stories and one novel, published another story four years later, and then disappeared without a trace. Yet despite the brevity of her presence on the literary stage, her supernatural stories have remained popular to this day. 'The Ghost in the Chair' tells the story of a strange shareholders' meeting at a troubled mining company. The chairman arrives, delivers a magnificent and inspirational speech to the 150 stockholders which saves the company from ruin, then departs. Moments after his exit, the doctor dramatically arrives to announce that the chairman had been found dead two hours previously - and had already been dead for some hours. A search of the dead man's papers reveals something very disturbing indeed.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.

The State Strikes Back (eBook, ePUB)
China's extraordinarily rapid economic growth since 1978, driven by market-oriented reforms, has set world records and continued unabated, despite predictions of an inevitable slowdown. In The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China?, the renowned China scholar Nicholas R. Lardy argues that China's future growth prospects could be equally bright but are shadowed by the specter of resurgent state dominance, which has begun to diminish the vital role of the market and private firms in China's economy.Lardy's book is a timely sequel to his path-breaking Markets Over Mao: The Rise of Private Business in China (Peterson Institute for International Economics, 2014). This book mobilizes new data to trace how President Xi Jinping has consistently championed state-owned or controlled enterprises, encouraging local political leaders and financial institutions to prop up ailing, underperforming companies that are a drag on China's potential. As with his previous book, Lardy's perspective departs from conventional wisdom, especially in its contention that China could achieve a high growth rate for the next two decades-if it reverses course and returns to the path of market-oriented reforms.- Shop: buecher

Witboy in Berlin: Adventures in the First World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
When opportunity strikes, television producer Deon Maas joins the boatloads of migrants heading for Germany. Faced with the choice of taking all his possessions along or selling everything, he opts for the latter. With a rucksack and his four dogs, he departs for the First World. Decadent Berlin blows his mind but also leaves him at a loss for words. As he crisscrosses the city, scratching at its pulsating underbelly, he marvels at German idiosyncrasies, and is roped into this new world by an array of vegan anarchists, eclectic musicians, football hooligans and graffiti artists. While settling in, he has to deal with everything from obnoxious bureaucrats to nosy neighbours. In the process, Maas debunks a few myths about the First World: it’s not a perfect place where everything works, and German efficiency is definitely overrated.By confronting the loss of his support network and adapting to a different political and social context, he learns exactly how deep his African roots go. ungekürzt.

How I Learned I'm Old , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min
How I Learned I'm Old is a collection of humorous essays embedded with a smattering of serious insights. Together, they tell the tale of what happens when middle age mysteriously departs and old age claims its territory. Baby Boomer women are devouring the book and its subjects, finally finding a venue to laugh about their new reality.Topics like "The New Party Game" (counting wrinkles on other women’s faces), the insulting arrival of chin hairs, and the sudden inability to monitor personal opinions in the presence of strangers have universal appeal. So do chapters about mean girls in their seventies and the emotional legacy of mothers.The book is divided into sections: “Mind”, “Body”, and “Spirit”. Always with a comical overtone, it also delves into the more important benefits and realizations of the aging process, what friends teach us by example, who we miss most when they’re gone, and which values, in the end, really matter. ungekürzt.

The Retirement Flight Plan: Arriving Safely at Financial Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
If an airplane departs on a path even a few degrees off of its intended route, it could end up hundreds of miles from where it's supposed to land. The difference gets worse the farther the plane flies. Planning for your retirement is much the same. You need to know your starting point and destination and plan for any number of variables in between, as well as have a plan to keep you accountable if you start to veer off course. In The Retirement Flight Plan, John T. Hagensen uses stories and examples from his experience as both a pilot and financial adviser to outline the course for a financial plan that is built to last into retirement and beyond. While many financial professionals focus solely on how to get to retirement, John's specialty lies in helping clients stay retired. John is the founder and managing director of Keystone Wealth Partners. This is his second book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Pedersen.

Blue World: The Complete Collection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1014min
A novella and 12 stories from a master of supernatural horror. Father John has lived his whole life without knowing a woman's touch. Hard at first, his self-denial grew easier over time, as he learned to master his urges with a regimen of prayer, cold showers, and jigsaw puzzles. That changes the day that Debra Rocks enters his confessional. A rough-talking adult film actress, she has come to ask him to pray for a murdered costar. Her cinnamon perfume infects Father John, and after she departs he becomes obsessed. Around the corner from his church is a neon-lit alley of sin. He goes there hoping to save her life before he damns himself. That is Blue World, the novella that anchors this collection of chilling stories by Robert R. McCammon. Although monsters, demons, and murderers fill this audio, in McCammon's world the most terrifying landscape of all is the barren wasteland of a lost man's soul. ungekürzt. Language: English.
