    Theodore Roosevelt: An American Original: Heroes of History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
    Bleeding, Teddy stood to address the crowd. "Friends, I should ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know if you fully understand that I have been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose." The crowd went silent at the revelation, and, while getting weaker, Teddy delivered what might be his last speech. Determined to make a difference and with an insatiable curiosity, love of adventure, and hunger for justice, Theodore Roosevelt exemplified a life directed by principle and not by circumstance. Overcoming severe asthma and a weak heart set young Teddy on a life course against the odds. Whether rooting out government and corporate corruption, leading the legendary Rough Riders in war, establishing wildlife refuges and national parks, ranching in the Badlands of Dakota, writing books, or exploring dangerous uncharted land, the 26th president of the United States embraced every challenge and made his life count. The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Gregory. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hove/001560/bk_hove_001560_sample.mp3.

    Paddling the Pascagoula , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    Science magazine describes the Pascagoula River of southeast Mississippi as the last unaltered large river system in the lower 48 states and southern Canada. Along its banks and watershed, 600,000 acres of public lands - wildlife management areas, national forest, wilderness areas, national wildlife refuges, Nature Conservancy preserves - ensure the creation of a tremendous natural river system. To explore this sanctum, authors Ernest Herndon and Scott B. Williams traveled its entire 200-plus mile length by canoe and sea kayak, respectively. Each floated one of two major tributaries, Herndon taking the Leaf, Williams the Chickasawhay. They then met on the main Pascagoula and continued on to the Gulf Coast. Along the way, the two saw alligators and ospreys, conservationists and good ole boys. They ran rapids and explored swamps, dodged logjams and investigated possible pollution sources. The audiobook gives the armchair explorer a vivid feeling of what it would be like to float this wonderful river and provides a wealth of information about what makes it special and the problems that threaten it. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Randall Hunter.

    Shadows on the Hudson, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
    The late Nobelist's masterpiece takes a candid look into the lives of Holocaust survivors during the late 40s. Set in New York City, Shadows on the Hudson, Volume 3, the third a four-volume audiobook series, draws us into the intertwined lives of a circle of prosperous Jewish refuges. At the center is Boris Makaver, a pious and wealthy businessman. His greatest trial is his daughter, Anna. Unhappy in her current marriage, she plans to escape with Hertz Grien, a man torn between ascetic yearnings and romantic entanglements. From Makaver's gloomy Upper West Side apartment to the pastel resorts of Miami-amid family quarrels, zealous religious debates, crooked seances, and a myriad of affairs and marriages-Singer weaves a rich tapestry of American Jewry. Despite the character's fervent and often ironic attempts to decipher life's enigmas, their questions remain, for the most part, unanswered. This darkest of Singer's tragicomic novels was originally serialized in the Yiddish language publication Forward in the 50s.. Now, finally, in its first English translation, it is revealed to be one his major works. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theodore Bikel, Julie Harris, John Rubinstein.

    Finding True Refuge: Meditations for Difficult Times, Hörbuch, Digital, 210min
    Insights and Practices for Finding Sanctuary in Any Circumstance When the difficulties and losses of life feel overwhelming, is there someplace we can turn for the safety, nurturing, and peace that we long for? Most of us are strongly conditioned to react with fear and confusion, falling back on strategies of judgment, control, addictive behaviors, and anger. Yet there is another way. “In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love,” teaches Tara Brach. On Finding True Refuge, this renowned psychologist and meditation teacher offers you three sessions of spiritual teachings and practices for finding your way home to the inner sanctuary that is always available. Tara reveals how the three gateways of refuge-truth, love, and awareness-allow us to draw on our own deepest wisdom, and offers eight guided meditations that include: Mindful awareness-cultivating a non-judging, present-centered attention Using the therapeutic RAIN process for releasing fear and healing through self-compassion Letting go of our desire for control and certainty Cultivating a forgiving heart for ourselves and others When we seek comfort and relief from stress, Tara Brach teaches, we often unconsciously turn to false refuges such as material wealth, approval from others, or a preoccupation with the past and future. Yet by cultivating true refuge in this moment, we not only find reliable and trustworthy shelter from the storms of life, we also open ourselves up to fully experiencing joy and fulfillment. With Finding True Refuge, Tara brings you essential practices for awakening to the aliveness within you, and discovering that you can love this life - no matter what. Language: English.

    Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1369min
    The acclaimed, award-winning historian - "America's new past master" (Chicago Tribune) - examines the environmental legacy of FDR and the New Deal. Douglas Brinkley's The Wilderness Warrior celebrated Theodore Roosevelt's spirit of outdoor exploration and bold vision to protect 234 million acres of wild America. Now, in Rightful Heritage, Brinkley turns his attention to the other indefatigable environmental leader - Teddy's distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, chronicling his essential yet undersung legacy as the founder of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and premier protector of America's public lands. FDR built from scratch dozens of state park systems and scenic roadways. Pristine landscapes such as the Great Smokies, the Everglades, Joshua Tree, the Olympics, Big Bend, Channel Islands, Mammoth Cave, and the slickrock wilderness of Utah were forever saved by his leadership. Brinkley traces FDR's love for the natural world from his youth exploring the Hudson River Valley and bird-watching. As America's president from 1933 to 1945, Roosevelt - a consummate political strategist - established hundreds of federal migratory bird refuges and spearheaded the modern endangered species movement. He brilliantly positioned his conservation goals as economic policy to combat the severe unemployment of the Great Depression. During its nine-year existence, the CCC put nearly three million young men to work on conservation projects - including building trails in the national parks, pollution control, land restoration to combat the Dust Bowl, and planting over two billion trees. Rightful Heritage is an epic chronicle that is both an irresistible portrait of FDR's unrivaled passion and drive and an indispensable analysis that skillfully illuminates the tension between business and nature - exploiting our natural resources and conserving them. Within the narrative are brilliant capsule biographies of such environmen ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Dufris.

    Je suis sorti... (eBook, ePUB)
    Au cours d'une longue vie professionnelle consacrée à la Recherche et au Développement en pays en voie de développement (en Afrique, Amérique Latine et Asie), l'auteur a été confronté à de nombreuses cultures et spiritualités qui ont questionné sa foi chrétienne. Divers écrits lui ont permis de faire la synthèse de ses connaissances, scientifiques mais aussi spirituelles, en relation avec son expérience professionnelle et humaine. De retour en France, à Montpellier, l'auteur s'est engagé, un peu par hasard, comme bénévole au Secours Catholique pour participer à l'accueil des gens de la rue en précarité, puis de migrants arrivant dans cette ville. Ces rencontres directes de personne à personne, hors de tout cadre institutionnel et professionnel, ont apporté une lumière nouvelle et inattendue sur son expérience passée et sa vie de croyant. Un nouveau parcours de vie s'est ouvert, apportant joies inattendues, discernement et lumières spirituelles. Ce livre parle des étapes et des conséquences de ces sorties vers « les périphéries ». L'auteur a assimilé cette démarche à un parcours en haute montagne passant par trois refuges qu'il a dénommés : « Sorties et rencontres, « Parole partagée », « Prière ». Ce parcours, est celui d'un homme marié, aujourd'hui arrière-grand-père. Il est personnel, sans prétention didactique. L'auteur l'a décrit pour sa famille, ses amis et d'autres chercheurs de Dieu, pour leur donner éventuellement le désir de trouver leur propre chemin spirituel, en relation avec leurs compagnons de route, incluant celle avec Jésus, en paroles et en actes selon les évangiles et l'Ancien Testament. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Christian Pieri est Ingénieur Agronome (INA, Paris) et Docteur en Science du Sol (CNRS, Nancy). Il a exercé essentiellement à l'étranger, en tant que chercheur (19651991) dans le cadre du CIRAD (Centre International de Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement), comme agroécologiste à la Banque Mondiale (19922002), puis comme consultant international (20022006).
