Mary O’Reilly Alden froze and stared into the living room. She could swear that something moved in there. She walked around the counter, toward the living room, and heard a soft giggle. It sounded like a child’s voice, but there was something about it that sent chills down her spine. “Who’s there?” she asked, walking to the entrance of the room. The giggle repeated, this time clearer. “I don’t find this funny at all,” she replied firmly, trying not to show her fear. “Now, if you want my help, you will show yourself.”She looked around and saw the branches of the Christmas tree shake.She started to step forward, but a sudden grip of instinctual fear held her back. The giggle repeated, and then the voice called out, “Mary. Mary. I’ve found you.” Mary gripped the edge of the couch, her knees weakening beneath her. It was the voice from the asylum, and it was in her home.The spirit from the asylum has followed Mary O’Reilly home for the holidays. But there are no chestnuts roasting on the open fires he’s creating. With Rosie and Stanley in danger, will Mary and company be able to assure themselves of a Merry Christmas, or will things go terribly, terribly wrong? ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min

The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide serves as a practical guide to educate women, men, and organizations on the barriers that keep women from fully contributing in the workplace. These include differences in leadership style and emotional intelligence, gender bias and stereotypes, breadwinner and caregiver responsibilities, and differences in gender culture that show up every day at work and home.The Power of Perception also explores significant changes in global demographic trends and how our youngest generations are impacting the workplace. The Power of Perception clearly illustrates the reasons that we don’t see more women leading our global businesses. It has nothing to do with women’s skills and competencies and everything to do with perceptions of women as leaders, as workers, as mothers, and as wives.These perceptions have a significant impact on promotion for many women. Perception is reality - and it’s powerful. The Power of Perception provides personal stories of women’s journeys and real-world examples and is based on the author’s own research as well as that of many others. Every chapter includes practical, easy-to-apply strategies, summary points, and reflection questions to empower women, men, and organizations to fully leverage talent and diversity. ungekürzt.

The Alchemist's Revenge: The Real Game of Thrones (Company of Archers) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 712min

Arrows fly, swords clash, women are bedded, prizes are taken, nobles and churchmen are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. This is another exciting story in Martin Archer’s continuing and action-packed saga about the men of a company of English archers in the medieval world’s very real game of thrones. It is by far the longest and one of the most action-packed and wittiest. Flashman would be proud, Tom Brown appalled, and the men of the marines and the SAS would have felt right at home.The year is 1219 in Constantinople and the recently widowed English-born empress of the great Latin Empire has donated enough coins to the pope to have been chosen by God to be her young son’s regent. She, in turn, has hired George Courtenay’s Cornwall-based Company of Archers to help her defend her throne against the many kings and princes who are trying to replace her.This is the story of a real life game of thrones set in the early years when the first of the great heavily armed merchant companies were being formed and Britain was just beginning to grow into a naval and commercial powerhouse that would punch far above its weight in the centuries that followed. ungekürzt.

Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story: Outward Odyssey: A People's History of Spaceflight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1312min

As the United States and the Soviet Union went from exploring space to living in it, a space station was conceived as the logical successor to the Apollo moon program. But between conception and execution stood the vastness of space itself, to say nothing of the monumental technological challenges. Homesteading Space, by two of Skylab’s own astronauts and a NASA journalist, tells the dramatic story of America’s first space station from beginning to fiery end. Homesteading Space is much more than a story of technological and scientific success; it is also an absorbing, sometimes humorous, often inspiring account of the determined, hardworking individuals who shepherded the program through a near-disastrous launch, a heroic rescue, an exhausting study of Comet Kohoutek, and the lab's ultimate descent into the Indian Ocean. Featuring the unpublished in-flight diary of astronaut Alan Bean, the book is replete with the personal recollections and experiences of the Skylab crew and those who worked with them in training, during the mission, and in bringing them safely home.The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Offers valuable personal recollections from those who were there." (Air & Space)“A well-told saga of Skylab from start to fiery fall.” (Coalition for Space Exploration)"A great read." (Ed Gibson, Skylab III science pilot and author) ungekürzt. Language: English.
