    So Enormous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min, (USK 18)
    Oh, my god! He’s looking at me...My husband won’t shut up about how it’s too hot in Miami and that he wants to go home to Connecticut as soon as humanly possible. He’s a good guy, but I got married too young. He’s twice my age yet only half of his half as intelligent. He’s sweet guy who provides for me, but to say he’s bad at sex is a pretty massive understatement.I know that I should probably divorce my husband, but I’m so afraid that it will crush him. Right now, all I can think about is that super-hot guy across the pool. His body is so broad, so muscular. And his personality, I can already tell, is so cocky and self-assured - just the type of man who gets me thinking about what he’d be like in bed. And the way that he looks at me...like, it's already undressing me. Damn, it’s almost too much to take. I think I need to get out of here because the way I’m staring at him, it’s pretty apparent I want him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tammy Viers.

    Changing on the Job: Developing Leaders for a Complex World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min
    Listen to people in every field and you'll hear a call for more sophisticated leadership - for leaders who can solve more complex problems than the human race has ever faced. But these leaders won't simply come to the fore; we have to "develop" them, and we must cultivate them as quickly as is humanly possible. Changing on the Job is a means to this end. As opposed to showing readers how to play the role of a leader in a "paint by numbers" fashion, Changing on the Job builds on theories of adult growth and development to help readers become more thoughtful individuals, capable of leading in any scenario. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, and employing real-world examples, author Jennifer Garvey Berger offers a set of building blocks to help cultivate an agile workforce while improving performance. Coaches, HR professionals, thoughtful leaders, and anyone who wants to flourish on the job will find this book a vital resource for developing their own capacities and those of the talent that they support. The book is published by Stanford University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Eickhoff. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/008116/bk_acx0_008116_sample.mp3.

    Glow (Seasons of Magic: Flurries & Phantoms, #3) (eBook, ePUB)
    On the frozen frontier of Europa, the mysteries are as thick as the ice. Areina never quite fit in with her peers, and her glowing skin and mysterious past certainly don't help. When an icequake breaks crucial equipment on her research station, her adopted father must retrieve backups from the now derelict Station Beta-the very place Areina was rescued from fifteen years earlier in an incident cloaked with questions and classified documents. Then, the scavenging team loses contact with home, presenting Areina with the terrifying possibility of life alone… and a unique opportunity to learn what happened all those years ago. Faced with a life missing the only person who ever truly accepted her, Areina makes a choice: leave the safety of home and find Terrance's missing team and the truth about her past. But her biggest bully, Bryce, insists on tagging along, and strange things start happening to her, things that should be humanly impossible. And then Bryce reveals a past connecting them more than she'd ever thought possible. As they approach Station Beta and the answers to both their questions, can they move past their history to forge a real friendship? Or will the wilds of Europa-and the truth-destroy it before it really begins? This science fantasy retelling of the ugly duckling is part of the Seasons of Magic standalone novella series. If you love space and the stars, mysterious pasts, and unlikely friendships, you will love Selina J. Eckert's stellar tale.

    Gawky: Tales from an Extra Long Awkward Phase , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min
    Some tall girls grow up to have perfect posture and are later seen gracing the pages of magazines. Some are natural athletes with toned legs that mask their overlarge feet. Then there are other tall girls: the ones who are always tripping over themselves; who never look normal in any size of clothing; who literally don’t fit in. Comedian Margot Leitman was one of these awkward giants, and Gawky is the painfully funny chronicle of her experiences growing up tall. Reaching five feet six inches in fourth grade - and approaching six feet in high school - Leitman realized early on that she'd always stand out from the crowd. To cope, she developed a thick skin and a sharp sense of humor, and instead of forever trying to blend in, she decided to embrace her center-of-attention status. Leitman wears funky, Ziggy Stardust-era jumpsuits (in the 90s); takes up any cause she can find (whether saving the public beaches or protesting prom); and generally makes as much use of her big presence as humanly possible. Leitman’s memoir is a hilarious celebration of growing up gangly. Endearing and encouraging, Gawky is a cathartic release of everything awkward girls endure - and a tribute to a youth larger than life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Margot Leitman.

    The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime into Entertainment and Subverts Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
    Media and law enforcement work at cross-purposes. Law enforcement wants to solve a case as fast as possible and puts the guilty behind bars. The media wants a case to drag on as long as humanly possible and do all they can to extricate every last bit of drama, drop by bloody drop, in order to hold the attention of the millions of viewers who have gotten hooked. Law enforcement must abide by rules. The media make their own rules, and even then break them or find ways to work loopholes into them. All that matters is ratings. If people knew how it's done - how the media seduce, buy, bribe and corrupt, like an inevitable, malignant cancer on a murder investigation - they might be too sickened to buy the nexy ticket to the carnival. The unfortunate truth is that today, each murder has many victims, and high-profile murders can hurt innocent people who get burned by the spotlight, whether or not they sought it out themselves. Fuhrman learned that firsthand as a police witness in the O. J. Simpson trial, a wrenching experience that showed how the criminal justice system can be manipulated by money, power, politics and fame. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne.

    Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1392min
    Over the course of a lifetime of service to his country, Colin Powell became a national hero, a beacon of wise leadership, and, according to polls, "the most trusted man in America". From his humble origins as the son of Jamaican immigrants, to the highest levels of government in four administrations, he helped guide the nation through some of its most heart-wrenching hours. Now, in the first full biography of one of the most admired men of our time, award-winning Washington Post journalist Karen DeYoung takes us from Powell's Bronx childhood and meteoric rise through the military ranks to his formative roles in Washington's corridors of power and his controversial tenure as secretary of state. With dramatic new information about the inner workings of an administration locked in ideological combat, DeYoung makes clearer than ever before the decision-making process that took the nation to war and addresses the still-unanswered questions about Powell's departure from his post shortly after the 2004 election. Drawing on interviews with U.S. and foreign sources, as well as with Powell himself, and with unprecedented access to his personal and professional papers, Soldier is a revelatory portrait of an American icon, a man at once heroic and all-too-humanly fallible. ungekürzt.
