The Prince , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title. However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage. It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. The descriptions within The Prince have the general theme of accepting that the aims of princes - such as glory and survival - can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends: "He who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation." ungekürzt.

Courting Death: The Clarkeston Chronicles, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 596min
From an internationally recognized law professor comes the third legal thriller in an exciting mystery series, the Clarkeston Chronicles. Courting Death finds Melanie Wilkerson (from Cotton, book two of the Clarkeston Chronicles) and Arthur Hughes working uncomfortably together in the chambers of a famous federal judge. While Melanie neglects her duties as a law clerk to investigate the mysterious death of a young woman in the courthouse five years earlier, Arthur wades through the horrific habeas corpus appeals of two prisoners: an infamous serial killer and a pathetic child murderer. Melanie, a Georgia native who returns from law school in the Northeast, hoped to establish a legal reputation that will eclipse her beauty pageant queen past, which she is now desperate to disown. Arthur is a bright but naive Midwesterner who is rapidly seduced by the small Georgia college town of Clarkeston which, to his surprise, comes with an exotic and attractive landlady. The cohort of federal court clerks is completed by Phil Jenkins, a Stanford graduate from San Francisco who tries his best to balance the personalities of his volatile colleagues. Living and working in bucolic Clarkeston comes with a price. In Courting Death, Arthur, Melanie, and Phil are confronted with the extremes of human mortality, both in and outside the legal system, in ways that they could never have expected or prepared for. ungekürzt.

The Ever After of Ashwin Rao , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 945min
From internationally acclaimed New Face of Fiction author Padma Viswanathan, a stunning new work set among families of those who lost loved ones in the 1985 Air India bombing, registering the unexpected reverberations of this tragedy in the lives of its survivors. A book of post-9/11 life, The Ever After demonstrates that violent politics are all-too-often homegrown in North America but ignored at our peril. In 2004, almost 20 years after the fatal bombing of Air India Flight 182 from Vancouver, two suspects are - finally - on trial for the crime. Ashwin Rao, an Indian psychologist trained in North America, comes back to do a "study of comparative grief", interviewing people who lost loved ones in the attack. What he neglects to mention is that he, too, had family members who died on the plane. Then, to his delight and fear, he becomes embroiled in the lives of one family that remains unable to escape the undertow of the tragedy. As Ashwin finds himself less and less capable of providing the objective advice this particular family seeks, his surprising emotional connection to them pushes him to face his own losses. The Ever After imagines the lasting emotional and political consequences of a real-life act of terror, confronting what we might learn to live with and what we can live without. ungekürzt.

The End of Heart Disease by Joel Fuhrman | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
Summary of The End of Heart Disease by Joel Fuhrman | Includes Analysis Preview: The End of Heart Disease is a call to action. Author Joel Fuhrman proclaims that the nation's number one killer, heart disease, can be defeated with a simple choice: Either embrace a nutrient-rich diet or risk losing your life to a preventable heart condition. Most Americans unwittingly consume a diet that is slowly shortening their life and impinging on their health and well-being. Inevitably, poor health outcomes arise. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart conditions are particularly common among Americans because the typical American diet relies on high-sodium, processed foods, and animal products; it neglects the vast diversity of fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts that Americans should be consuming instead. However, when these conditions land someone in the doctor's office or the emergency room, patients are too often counseled to seek a quick but risky fix: a pill or a procedure. PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.

Into the Magic Shop (eBook, ePUB)
The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary things that can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart. Doty would go on to put Ruth's practices to work with extraordinary results-power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth's most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results-until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.- Shop: buecher

Charlie and Lydia, fresh from negotiating their spanking contract, face a new challenge when Lydia becomes ill, but tries saving money by not seeing the doctor, then not following through with the medicines, and advice given her. When Charlie finds out, he insists she see the doctor. Her stubbornness about the issue, coupled with her lying to Charlie, leads to some painful conflicts for the couple, as they struggle with the fair way to handle what Lydia's done wrong. Charlie and she must decide upon new additions to their spanking contract, as well as what to do about Lydia's neglect of her health, and her lying to Charlie not once, but twice.

If such scenes offend you or trigger you, please do not purchase this audiobook. In addition, the series is also about two young, devoted married people growing, and maturing together over the course of multiple story lines; they are flawed, loving, devoted human beings, and therefore make mistakes they try to correct. If you are looking for perfect people, look elsewhere. Finally, please note: Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is unintended, and coincidental. ungekürzt. Language: English.
