    Easy Meat: Inside Britain's Grooming Gang Scandal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    Peter McLoughlin spent years believing the Leftist narrative, namely it was "a racist myth" that organised Muslim groups in Britain and the Netherlands (grooming gangs ) were luring white schoolgirls into a life of prostitution. But in 2009 he first encountered people who said their children had been groomed like this. These informants had non-white people in their immediate and extended family and were thus unlikely to be racists. So McLoughlin dug deeper, and what he found shocked him: There was mounds of evidence that social workers, police officers, Muslim organizations, journalists, and even some members of Parliament must have known about these grooming gangs for decades, and they had turned a blind eye to these crimes. He also came across references to incidents where any proof had since vanished. McLoughlin spent several years uncovering everything he could and documenting this scandal before the evidence disappeared. He demonstrates that the true nature of this grooming phenomenon was known about more than 20 years ago.While he was writing this book, Parliament was forced by rising anger in Britain to conduct its own low-key investigation. The eventual report concluded the grooming problem was basically in one town: Rotherham. Official reports finally admitted there were more than 1,400 victims in this otherwise unremarkable town. McLoughlin argues the authorities will continue their cover-up of this scandal, with many thousands of new victims across the country every year. The criminal indicators in Rotherham are to be found in scores of towns across Britain. McLoughlin's book is an attempt to get the public to wake up, for them to demand civilised solutions, because if the social contract breaks down, people may turn to vigilante justice as the prostituting of schoolgirls continues unabated. The book documents the hidden abuse of Sikh victims by grooming gangs and how Sikhs in Britain have already resorted to vigilante justice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander Sangmoore.

    The Peshtigo Fire of 1871: A Captivating Guide to the Deadliest Wildfire in the History of the United States of America That Occurred in Northeastern Wisconsin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    If you want to discover the history of the Peshtigo Fire of 1871, then pay attention...It’s likely true that most people picking up this book have never even heard of a place called Peshtigo. This is hardly surprising. This little town on the shores of Lake Michigan is hardly a remarkable place in the modern day. Its residents number less than 4,000, and there’s nothing particularly special about it at first glance.But one does have to look twice at its motto. “A city rebuilt from the ashes.” Peshtigo may be just another small Wisconsin town today, but 150 years ago, it really was nothing but ashes. This town was one of the hardest hit in the deadliest wildfire event in American history - and no, I’m not talking about the Great Chicago Fire, even though it also occurred on the very same night.The Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871 claimed four times as many lives as the fire in Chicago, yet this cruel twist of fate has left it almost unheard of, while the (untrue) tale of Catherine O’Leary’s cow continues to echo through the centuries with unabated vigor. The story of the Great Peshtigo Fire has not been told nearly often enough, yet it is a story that will captivate every listener. Parts of it seem to border on science fiction: trees exploding in the heat of the fire, a tornado made of flames sweeping through an entire town in a single hour, birds caught up and burned in mid-air. Yet, all of it is true, and so are the stories of the people who witnessed the fire first-hand and survived it. So if you want to learn more about the Peshtigo Fire of 1871, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button! ungekürzt.

    Allegiance: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 844min
    Allegiance picks up two days after A Pound of Flesh left off. Outbreak - Day 15. With an estimated 99 percent of the United States' population having already succumbed to the rapidly spreading Omega virus, and countries and cities worldwide teeming with the dead, the struggle to survive the zombie apocalypse continues unabated in the high desert of Colorado. Having just returned from a hastily thrown together secret mission that saw Robert Christian - the self-proclaimed President of his "New America" - snatched from his mountain redoubt and delivered kicking and screaming to the justice awaiting him at Schriever Air Force Base, Cade Grayson, father, husband, and Delta Force operator, is horrified to learn that during his absence the base had been compromised, putting his family in harm's way. Its inhabitants still reeling from Pug's act of terror, and recently rocked by an undead outbreak inside the wire, Schriever no longer seems an island of safety surrounded by a sea of dead, but more like a shadowy prison, danger lurking within its walls. So, with the Z-infested cities of Denver and Aurora to the north and 100,000 flesh eaters inhabiting Pueblo to the south, and all hope of a cure for Omega dwindling faster than the world's population, Cade uses a mandated two-day stand down to fully weigh out his options. With each passing day, he finds himself warming to Brook's stance that they pull up stakes and put the acres of squat buildings and fenced-in concrete in their rearview mirror for good. With his allegiance walking a tightrope between family and flag, will Cade appease Brook and move the family to Logan Winter's compound outside of Eden, Utah? Or will he lobby her to allow the family to stay at Schriever, so that his Delta Team - still recovering from the recent loss of soft-spoken Sergeant Darwin Maddox and the Unit's longtime commander General Mike Desantos - will not find themselves underma ungekürzt.

    New Dawn: The Battles for Fallujah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
    Fallujah. Few names conjure up as many images of blood, sacrifice, and valor as does this ancient city in Al Anbar province 40 miles west of Baghdad. This sprawling concrete jungle was the scene of two major US combat operations in 2004. The first was Operation Vigilant Resolve, an aborted effort that April by US Marines intent on punishing the city’s insurgents. The second, Operation Phantom Fury, was launched seven months later. Richard Lowry’s New Dawn: The Battles for Fallujah is the first comprehensive history of this fighting.Also known as the Second Battle for Fallujah, Operation Phantom Fury was a protracted house-to-house and street-to-street combat that began on November 7 and continued unabated for seven bloody and exhausting weeks. It was the largest fight of operation Iraqi Freedom and the heaviest urban combat since the Battle of Hue City, Vietnam, in 1968. Death and redemption were found everywhere, from narrow streets to courtyards, kitchens, bedrooms, and rooftops. By the time the fighting ended, more than 1,400 insurgents were dead, compared to 95 Americans (and another 1,000 wounded).Lowry (Marines in the Garden of Eden) spent years researching and writing his new campaign history. In addition to archival research, New Dawn is based upon the personal recollections of nearly 200 soldiers and marines who participated in the battles for Fallujah, from the commanding generals who planned the operations to the privates who kicked in the doors. The result is a gripping, pause-resisting narrative of individual sacrifice and valor that also documents the battles for future military historians.The struggle against a determined enemy at the crossroads of civilization is the story of American kids who grew up down the block from you only to fly halfway around the world to fight in the largest battle of the war. New Dawn is about their courage, their sacrifice, and their commitment to freedom. And it is a st ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Dunbar.

    Remaking Humans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    The human race is about to die away, leaving the planet they were born to the elements of decay and worsening climatological disasters. Future archaeologists who now have two heads, six legs and four arms discover some five million years from now that the end of the Human Race could have been avoided. They seem to have had the knowledge and the technological know-how to select out of their DNA, all the qualities of their kind that were destroying themselves. But, for some reason, they chose to do nothing and allow the deadliest catastrophe in Earth's long history to go on unabated, until finally they were all goneSound like science fiction? Actually, this is how some future species of life may describe us in their Science text-books when they dig up evidence of a race of intelligent creatures - US - who once lived here. We are currently only a few years away from the total destruction of all life on Earth. The tsunamis are getting worse, the Hurricanes are devastating our lands. Plagues of locusts are eating our food. Saharan dust storms are blowing all around the planet. The oceans are dying. The planet is heating up. Food production is down. Population continues to explode. Rain forests are on fire. Even the forests of the Arctic Circle are on fire. The Arctic Ice Cap is practically gone. The Ozone protection layers of our atmosphere are disappearing. There is now more plastic in the oceans than fish. Toxic chemicals fill the air that we breathe and toxic waste fills the water that we drink.  Worse yet, more and more people on the planet are demanding more and more energy be produced for their comfort and luxury. We have in our DNA an innate instinct for luxury and easy living. This has been the Holy Grail for centuries. But today, more and more of us can see the unintended consequences of an out-of-control quest for comfort and consumption of Earth's depleted resources.

    Tonesmith: One Hundred Poems, 2012-2016 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
    Al Basile has wrought poems that are almost holographic in their insistence on bringing their author into the reader's space, where he, his tone of voice, body language and facial expressions, constitute an uncanny presence. The very title of the book identifies the author as a music-maker determined to be heard, and as a poet whose first concern is achieving the tone in which he wants to be heard by the reader. This is poetry, not for the timid, but for those willing to contend with the close-grained" nature of a highly individual artist." (Rhina P. Espaillat)Most people know Al Basile as a musician: A singer-songwriter and cornetist who has had a long career in blues circles and whose discography as a solo artist is extensive and internationally celebrated.His work with blues great Duke Robillard has led to his participation in two Grammy nominated projects under Duke's name, and he has six nominations as best horn player by the Blues Music Foundation; Mid-Century Modern, his 2016 release was nominated as best contemporary blues album.As a child, however, he was fascinated by theoretical physics and balanced the beginnings of his musical training with early efforts at writing blank verse. At Brown he abandoned the physics program and spent his time writing fiction, poetry, and plays, including musicals for which he provided book and lyrics. He began his professional music career with the pioneering Rhode Island based jump blues band Roomful of Blues in the mid-70s.From 1980 to 2005 he taught English, Music, and Physics at the Providence Country Day School in East Providence, RI. His writing, particularly of poetry and songs, continued unabated, and after leaving teaching in 2005 he has been regularly published; he was the co-winner of the Meringoff Award for poetry given by the Association of Literary Critics, Scholars, and Writers in 2015. His first collection A Lit House: 100 Poems 1975-2011 was published in 2012. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Al Basile.

    Ford County: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    In his first collection of short stories John Grisham takes us back to Ford County, Mississippi, the setting of his first novel, A Time to Kill. Wheelchair-bound Inez Graney and her two older sons, Leon and Butch, take a bizarre road trip through the Mississippi Delta to visit the youngest Graney brother, Raymond, who's been locked away on death row for eleven years. It could well be their last visit. Mack Stafford, a hard-drinking and low-grossing run-of-the-mill divorce lawyer gets a miracle phone call with a completely unexpected offer to settle some old, forgotten cases for more money than he has ever seen. Mack is suddenly bored with the law, fed up with his wife and his life, and makes drastic plans to finally escape. Quiet, dull Sidney, a data collector for an insurance company, perfects his blackjack skills in hopes of bringing down the casino empire of Clanton's most ambitious hustler, Bobby Carl Leach, who, among other crimes, has stolen Sidney's wife. Three good ol' boys from rural Ford County begin a journey to the big city of Memphis to give blood to a grievously injured friend. However, they are unable to drive past a beer store as the trip takes longer and longer. The Quiet Haven Retirement Home is the final stop for the elderly of Clanton. It's a sad, languid place with little controversy, until Gilbert arrives. Posing as a lowly paid bedpan boy, he is in reality a brilliant stalker with an uncanny ability to sniff out the assets of those "seniors" he professes to love. Clanton is rocked with the rumor that the gay son of a prominent family has finally come home, to die. Of AIDS. Fear permeates the town as gossip runs unabated. Featuring a cast of characters you'll never forget, these stories bring Ford County to vivid and colorful life. Often hilarious, frequently moving, this collection makes it abundantly clear why John Grisham is our most popular storyteller. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Grisham.

    The Year Without a Summer: The History and Legacy of the 1815 Eruption of Mount Tambora , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    In many ways history is the story of human beings trying to control their destinies by overcoming the effects of their physical surroundings. As too many have learned, the best they could often do was cope with nature, and the various natural disasters produced around the globe. Consider, for example, the year 1816, known as the "Year Without a Summer", which found the working poor in both Europe and America facing starvation caused by factors that few, if any, of them understood. They only knew that the time for planting, the longed for and planned for last days of winter, never came. Farmers who had been growing the same crops for decades began to be curious when, in April of that year, the snow still fell. By the first of May, they were outright concerned. In the weeks that followed, each faced a critical decision: go forward and plant as usual, trusting that the sun would again warm the earth, or continue to wait. In the end, their decisions made little difference, except perhaps that those who waited could survive a little longer by eating the seeds they had been saving. For in 1816, the seeds planted in the ground to sprout and grow usually did neither, because temperatures were never warm enough to nurture their progress. Instead, most lay dormant, while those hardier varieties did finally push their ways to the earth’s surface, only to have the life frozen out of them by cold winds unabated by the sun’s warmth. As the prolonged crisis went on, people around the planet tried to come to grips with what was happening. Preachers spoke of God’s judgment, while farmers stood and prayed for relief, but neither group knew the truth: the cause of their misfortune lay not at their own doorsteps but thousands of miles away on an island they had never heard of. In this case, their destiny had been decided on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia, thanks to a big volcano known as Mount Tambora. In one of the strongest volcanic explosions in recorded history, M ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Norman.

    Two
    Second phantasmagorical audio outing from Oto Hiax, the duo of former Seefeel and Loops Haunt members, Mark Clifford and Scott Gordon. Two expands the duo's unique take on spectral synthesis incorporating a diverse amount of approaches to experimental sound. Two expounds a hybrid mix of acoustic based audio design, ambient tonality, sound effects, music, abstraction, and world's hybrid video game soundtrack. There is something of an onomatopoeia quality to the release as the six tracks take on the character of their individual title. "Silt", "Dapple", "Overcurve", "Scutter", "Strain", and "Plates" appear as extremely well executed versions of the inferred intent of their namesake. This inquisitive approach will appeal to those interested in the more exploratory end of sound production providing hope as newly formed methods and colors are exposed from the duo's contemporary audio tactics. Seasoned veterans can lie in a bed of laurels whereas Two is an exemplary release reveling in the enthusiasm that comes from the joy of unabated exploration.
