    Everything Clarissa Alpert wants, Clarissa Alpert gets.Gorgeous, funny, and wildly uninhibited, her exes are a veritable Who's Who of Hollywood power players. At 28 (31), she is blessed with a firm (if curvaceous) bod, a designer wardrobe, a daddy-subsidized apartment, and an A-list speed-dial. But with her thirty-second birthday looming, our heroine is starting to panic. Who on earth (Hollywood) could possibly make Clarissa Alpert an honest woman? Enter Aaron Mason, the latest, hottest new producer in town. From the moment Clarissa sees him, she sets her sights on making him the future "Mr. Alpert." With the eager help of her vivacious (if neurotic) friends, her aerobicized Latina mother, her philandering but loving ex-con father, and the most divine gay waiter in Hollywood, Clarissa finds herself phoning the florist to the stars (his private line) and planning the biggest wedding the town has seen in years, even before the couple's first date. Catching Aaron's eye is not a problem. But it seems her intended might have his own agenda. Could Clarissa have finally bitten off more than she can chew? Language: English. Narrator: Uma Thurman.

    Tammy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
    Tammy, an analogy of the Genesis 38 story of Tamar and Judah, is set in rural Britton's Neck, 30 miles inland of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, during 1963, the heyday of tobacco farming, that was subsidized by the government. Poverty combined with constant criticism from her mother has caused Tammy to have obsessive compulsive disorder. She loves her job at B. C. Moore's & Sons in Marion and the arrangement she has with the bank in paying for her car, which she feels she must have - even if it means she must earn extra money by prostituting. Tammy is desperate after her husband Earl's death. She is left alone with her four-year-old son Ju, whom her in-laws seek to adopt, claiming she is an unfit mother. When church people reach out to Ju, she comes to know the bluebird innocence of people who truly love the Lord Jesus. She questions the difference between these and carnal Christians, those who are saved but still leave the door open to Satan and selfish desires. She learns even more that God loves and forgives even her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leslie Dickson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/065885/bk_acx0_065885_sample.mp3.

    But Not for Love: Texas Tradition Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 843min
    A native Texan, Edwin “Bud” Shrake has written more than two dozen works and is best known for The Borderland, which was named one of the 10 best books of 2000 by the Los Angeles Times. This Texas Traditions Series title takes us back to the Lone Star State during the Cold War at the beginning of the 1960s. The postwar generation is in a frenzy of high living and profligate spending. Big Texas oil is still subsidized by a federal depletion allowance and cattle still account for much of the state’s wealth. But these longtime mainstays of Texas finance are giving way to transistors and computers. A new millionaire class is growing up around business mergers and electronic technology. In the opening section of the novel, we visit the Texas Gulf Coast and see the machinations of Sam Guthrie and Waddy Morris Jr. as they attempt to take over a rival technology company. Back in Dallas, idealistic attorney Ben Carpenter moves to thwart the Guthrie/Morris takeover. Then we move to Fort Worth and attend the drunken party given in honor of Ben Carpenter’s 30th birthday. The party moved to Mexico on Cadmus Wilkins’s bus, where everyone has to confront his or her inner self - and some are found wanting. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Guidall.

    Crushing a Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    Maggie and Alicia are friends, meeting on a job where Alicia was a temporary worker. They remained friends after Alicia's two-month temporary job was over. Alicia went on to start her own business as a public relations specialist, freelance writer, and photographer, specializing in the travel industry. Being in the industry, Alicia got a number of subsidized trips and would ask Maggie to go along as her assistant. Later, when Maggie became unemployed, she volunteered to help Alicia in exchange for the travel. Both women became very concerned about their health - and their looks - so they would oftentimes talk about eating healthier. When Alicia gave Maggie a book on healthy eating that she truly thought she would enjoy, Maggie turned on Alicia and never wanted to see or speak to her again. Although Alicia tried asking her what happened, Maggie was adamant on having no contact with Alicia, except for the one time she sent her a letter asking her for money owed to her for accompanying her on her trip and assisting her with office work, although that was never the agreement, and which Alicia ignored. While Maggie and Alicia travelled, Maggie was married and Alicia was not, but Maggie would still flirt and would get jealous when some guy would hit on Alicia that Maggie had her eye on. On one trip, she wouldn't speak to Alicia for the remainder of the trip even though they shared the same suite. Maggie on numerous occasions made Alicia swear she would never tell Maggie's husband of any of her infidelities. Upon further investigation, Alicia discovered that about the time Maggie was asking her for money, that her husband was unemployed, and they were having marital problems. ungekürzt.

    The Republic of Beliefs (eBook, ePUB)
    A leading economist offers a radically new approach to the economic analysis of the lawIn The Republic of Beliefs, Kaushik Basu, one of the world's leading economists, argues that the traditional economic analysis of the law has significant flaws and has failed to answer certain critical questions satisfactorily. Why are good laws drafted but never implemented? When laws are unenforced, is it a failure of the law or the enforcers? And, most important, considering that laws are simply words on paper, why are they effective? Basu offers a provocative alternative to how the relationship between economics and real-world law enforcement should be understood.Basu summarizes standard, neoclassical law and economics before looking at the weaknesses underlying the discipline. Bringing modern game theory to bear, he develops a "focal point" approach, modeling not just the self-interested actions of the citizens who must follow laws but also the functionaries of the state-the politicians, judges, and bureaucrats-enforcing them. He demonstrates the connections between social norms and the law and shows how well-conceived ideas can change and benefit human behavior. For example, bribe givers and takers will collude when they are treated equally under the law. And in food support programs, vouchers should be given directly to the poor to prevent shop owners from selling subsidized rations on the open market. Basu provides a new paradigm for the ways that law and economics interact-a framework applicable to both less-developed countries and the developed world.Highlighting the limits and capacities of law and economics, The Republic of Beliefs proposes a fresh way of thinking that will enable more effective laws and a fairer society.

    The Book of Lost Friends
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post-Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students' lives. "An absorbing historical . . . enthralling."-Library Journal Bestselling author Lisa Wingate brings to life startling stories from actual "Lost Friends" advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as newly freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold away. Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia's Creole half sister. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following roads rife with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage west reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt-until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, is suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lie the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.
