    No Surrender (eBook, ePUB)
    In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man's invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since.

    A Paradox of Economics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 3min
    It's a Twilight Zone episode in which everyone is "obsolete". The more efficient an economy is, the less it depends on the work input of any given person. Author C.C. Roberts explains why people struggle to find a livable wage and income as the economy actually improves. It's a paradox that forces good, able-bodied people to live as parasites instead of having a nine-to-five job. Making it in the new economy depends more heavily than ever on the creative mind and resourcefulness to avoid unemployment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C.C. Roberts.

    Mahu , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    Mahu -- a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexuals -- introduces a unique character to detective fiction. Kimo Kanapa'aka is a handsome, mixed-race surfer living in Honolulu, a police detective confronting his homosexuality in an atmosphere of macho bravado within the police force. A man of intelligence, strength, honesty, resourcefulness, and intense dedication to the people of Hawaii, Kimo is a hard-boiled hero you will never forget. Fast-paced, intricately plotted, thoroughly enjoyable, this is a sexy, surprisingly moving mystery about discovering oneself as much as catching a killer. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Pigs Have Wings, Hörbuch, Digital, 296min
    In Pigs Have Wings, affably potty Lord Emsworth is embroiled in a fierce pig-rearing battle with his obese neighbour, Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe. Tossed in for good measure: romantic entanglements, some dubious detective work and a fearful dieting product called 'Slimmo'. Blandings is also never complete without the resourcefulness of canny Gally Threepwood, the staunchness of 'man mountain' butler Beach and the stentorian tones of Lady Constance ringing around its batty corridors (there's even an imposter or two). Naturally a pig-napping is afoot, but who will have the last oink? Language: English. Narrator: Martin Jarvis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/csaw/000175/bk_csaw_000175_sample.mp3.

    The Changi Camera: A Unique Record of Changi and the Thai-Burma Railway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    This is the story of how a teenage Australian soldier, George Aspinall, took his remarkable photographs as a prisoner of war of the Japanese, providing a detailed record of those desperate years from 1942-45, when British, Australian, Dutch and American troops were being driven beyond endurance as slave labour for the Imperial Japanese Army. Aspinall’s most notable achievement was to smuggle his camera and film-processing chemicals in small medicine bottles up to the Thai-Burma Railway, where his ingenuity and resourcefulness ensured that the brutal treatment of Australian prisoners of war was graphically documented for the world to see. ungekürzt.

    A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 782min
    The most startling thing about disasters, according to award-winning author Rebecca Solnit, is not merely that so many people rise to the occasion, but that they do so with joy. That joy reveals an ordinarily unmet yearning for community, purposefulness, and meaningful work that disaster often provides. A Paradise Built in Hell is an investigation of the moments of altruism, resourcefulness, and generosity that arise amid disaster's grief and disruption and considers their implications for everyday life. It points to a new vision of what society could become - one that is less authoritarian and fearful, more collaborative and local. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Beresford.
