    Yellowstone National Park: The History of America's Most Famous Park , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    Judge, then, what must have been our astonishment, as we entered the basin at mid-afternoon of our second day's travel, to see in the clear sunlight, at no great distance, an immense volume of clear, sparkling water projected into the air to the height of one hundred and twenty-five feet. 'Geysers! geysers!' exclaimed one of our company, and, spurring our jaded horses, we soon gathered around this wonderful phenomenon. It was indeed a perfect geyser. The aperture through which the jet was projected was an irregular oval, three feet by seven in diameter. The margin of sinter was curiously piled up, and the exterior crust was filled with little hollows full of water, in which were small globules of sediment, some having gathered around bits of wood and other nuclei. This geyser is elevated thirty feet above the level of the surrounding plain, and the crater rises five or six feet above the mound. It spouted at regular intervals nine times during our stay, the columns of boiling water being thrown from ninety to one hundred and twenty-five feet at each discharge, which lasted from fifteen to twenty minutes. We gave it the name of 'Old Faithful.' (Nathaniel P. Langford) The United States is full of natural wonders, but few rival Yellowstone National Park, which is full of features that led Native Americans to believe the land was possessed by spirits and compelled people who heard accounts from white explorers to assume the explorers had suffered hallucinations. Today, of course, all Americans are instantly familiar with the name Old Faithful, and even among those who have never visited the park, Yellowstone is practically synonymous with its geysers. ungekürzt.

    Political Order and Political Decay : From the Industrial Revolution to the Globalization of Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1441min
    The second volume of the best-selling landmark work on the history of the modern state. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order "magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition." In the New York Times Book Review, Michael Lind described the book as "a major achievement by one of the leading public intellectuals of our time." And in the Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed "this is a book that will be remembered. Bring on volume two." Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. Taking up the essential question of how societies develop strong, impersonal, and accountable political institutions, Fukuyama follows the story from the French Revolution to the so-called Arab Spring and the deep dysfunctions of contemporary American politics. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West. A sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.

    2 Tales of Juan Bobo: "The 3-Legged Pot" and "The Sleep-over": A Puerto Rican Folktale, Hörbuch, Digital, 8min
    Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing. Juan Bobo often gets mixed up. One day his mother sent him to his grandma's to borrow a cooking pot since his mother's had a crack in it. Juan ran to Grand ma's and asked her for a pot. Grandma gave him a three-legged pot - the kind that can stand over the fire and doesn't need a level surface. He started home but got tired along the way and stopped to rest. He set down the pot. He looked at the pot and noticed its three legs. He decided it wasn't fair that he was carrying a three-legged pot when he had only two legs himself. He challenged the pot to a race home. He determined that he should have a head start since he had only two legs. He began running. He got home and asked his mom if the pot had arrived. She said, "No." Juan Bobo declared, "I won!" Another time Juan Bobo was at a friend's house, and it began to rain. It was a heavy rain, and Juan worried about getting soaked on his way home. Since it was night, his friend invited him for a sleepover. Juan smiled. "That would be great!" he exclaimed. "I'll be right back." He ran into the night and the pouring rain. His friend waited and waited. Finally a very wet Juan Bobo returned. "Where have you been?" asked his friend. Juan smiled and said, "I went home for my pajamas." Language: English.

    Portable Magic
    'A fascinating journey into our relationship with the physical book...I lost count of the times I exclaimed with delight when I read a nugget of information I hadn't encountered before' Val McDermid, The TimesMost of what we say about books is really about the words inside them: the rosy nostalgic glow for childhood reading, the lifetime companionship of a much-loved novel. But books are things as well as words, objects in our lives as well as worlds in our heads. And just as we crack their spines, loosen their leaves and write in their margins, so they disrupt and disorder us in turn. All books are, as Stephen King put it, 'a uniquely portable magic'. Here, Emma Smith shows us why.Portable Magic unfurls an exciting and iconoclastic new story of the book in human hands, exploring when, why and how it acquired its particular hold over us. Gathering together a millennium's worth of pivotal encounters with volumes big and small, Smith reveals that, as much as their contents, it is books' physical form - their 'bookhood' - that lends them their distinctive and sometimes dangerous magic. From the Diamond Sutra to Jilly Cooper's Riders, to a book made of wrapped slices of cheese, this composite artisanal object has, for centuries, embodied and extended relationships between readers, nations, ideologies and cultures, in significant and unpredictable ways. Exploring the unexpected and unseen consequences of our love affair with books, Portable Magic hails the rise of the mass-market paperback, and dismantles the myth that print began with Gutenberg; it reveals how our reading habits have been shaped by American soldiers, and proposes new definitions of a 'classic'-and even of the book itself. Ultimately, it illuminates the ways in which our relationship with the written word is more reciprocal - and more turbulent - than we tend to imagine.

    The Ax of Gold: A Greek Folktale, Hörbuch, Digital, 7min
    Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing. An old farmer was out in the woods chopping wood for his family when his ax slipped from his hands and went flying into the river. The farmer was so upset, he cried out to the river. The river spirit heard him and up out of the river rose a silver ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. The framer would have loved the ax, but he was an honest man and he said, "No." The silver ax went back into the water. Then out of the waters came a gold ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. Again the old man answered, "No." The gold ax went back down into the water. Now the man's old ax came up out of the water. "Is this your ax?" "Yes!" exclaimed the man. "That's it!" and the ax moved across the water into the man's outstretched hands. He thanked the River Spirit and began to leave. The Spirit asked him to stop and told him that for his honesty, he could have the ax of silver and the ax of gold. The man wept with joy. When he told some people in town about what had happened, one of his neighbors decided that he would do the same thing and get rich. He grabbed his ax and threw it into the river and pretended to cry. The river spirit brought up an ax of gold and the man claimed it as his own. When he reached out for the gold ax, the ax moved back out over the water and the man fell in and floated away. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Gordh.

    Jimmy Spencer was only ten years old and scared to go into the woods behind his house. His older brother Steven would tell him stories about a man that lived in a cabin in the woods that liked to kill children with his sharp axe. During the day Jimmy's brother would dare him to go into the woods, but Jimmy was so scared that if he did he might be on the old man's chopping block behind his cabin. One day when Jimmy was playing in his backyard all alone, he thought he heard a voice coming from within the woods calling his name. Jimmy first thought it was the wind howling so he just kept bouncing the rubber ball off the back wall of his house. Then he'd thought he heard a voice again coming from within the woods. Sure enough he did so he went to see who was calling his name. Just as he stepped foot in the woods his brother Steven jumped out of a bush. Jimmy just about jumped out of his pants. Steven started laughing and said, “What's the matter scaredy cat? Afraid the old man might get you.” Jimmy replied, “That's not funny, you scared the crap out of me.” Steven said, “You should have seen the look on your face, scaredy Cat.” “Quit calling me scaredy cat. I'm going to tell Mom on you”, said Jimmy in a frightened voice. “Go right ahead! Scaredy Cat! Scaredy Cat! I can't believe you're that scared to go into the woods. You're the biggest chicken I've ever met in my life”, exclaimed Steven. “No I'm not! I'll prove it to you. I'll go right now,” said Jimmy in a shaky voice. “I'll be waiting, just to make sure you don't chicken out,” laughed Steven. Jimmy set off into the dark thick forest all alone. ungekürzt.

    Two Opposites Souls Collide, Book 4: When Lesbians Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min, (USK 18)
    New Beginnings. Anne quickly drove back to Jenna's house. Tears were falling from her eyes, messing up the make-up that the woman from the Four Seasons had taken so long to put on her. She didn't care. She wiped underneath her eyes, seeing mascara come running off. She quickly reached into her purse that was on her lap, and as she made all kinds of turns, to make sure in case he was following her, he'd lose her. She dialed Jenna's number. "Hey girl, can I come spend the night, well, maybe a few nights..." She heard on the other end of the line exactly what she knew she'd hear. Jenna told her that she was always more than welcome at her home. "What happened? How could he possibly have gotten mad at you? You've only been gone away from me for 30 minutes!" Jenna exclaimed. Anne gave her a brief rundown of what had happened at the restaurant. When she was finished, Jenna was outraged. "I can't believe he did that to you! Well, don't you worry. Just get over here as soon as you can. I'll have my two men standing out back by the garage so he doesn't bother you. Pull right into the garage." Anne thanked her and they hung up, and head straight to Jenna's house. When she arrived, just as Jenna had said, there were two men standing outside of the garage waiting for her. As soon as she pulled up, she opened the door with the garage door opener inside of the car, and the men came in as the door closed behind her. She got out of the car, and the men escorted her into the house, without a word being exchanged. As soon as Anne entered the house, Jenna came running to her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Days After the Music Died , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
    The Days After the Music Died is a dystopian novel about a post-EMP world. A family struggles to escape the madness that is burning the cities and reach a refuge they established on a Mississippi River island. October 2nd appeared to have the makings of a nice day even though Richard Erickson wouldn't be able to enjoy much of it. He would soon be starting a 12-hour shift in the emergency room at San Francisco County Hospital. The young man would complete his medical internship in 11 months.Richard's day began at seven, when he showered, dressed, and stopped by Mickey D’s for breakfast. By the time he reached the Bay Bridge, the sun was breaking through the fog, and the oldies rock on his special playlist had just finished Buddy Holly's “Peggy Sue”. Halfway through his second cup of coffee, with the stereo now playing Richi Valens “La Bamba”, Richard felt that life was good. As he approached the Treasure Island exit, the Tahoe died, along with the stereo. Taking a quick look at the gas gauge, he saw the whole panel was dead. Coasting to the curb, he noticed that his car was not the only one stopped. Nothing was moving.“Oh shit. It's really hit the fan!” he exclaimed. A quick check of his iPhone revealed that it too was dead. Richard opened the door and stepped out. A man in a Tesla jumped out as smoke burst from under the hood. “What the hell is going on?” He demanded. Richard answered. “I think we got hit by an EMP attack.” “What does that mean?” “It means the end of the world as we know it. I suggest you get home any way you can. It will be bad everywhere, with no power, water, or food.” The man looked unconvinced. He then looked over to his burning car. Without a word, he started toward the off ramp. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Thompson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/126260/bk_acx0_126260_sample.mp3.
