    The Gringo: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    Within weeks of arriving as a volunteer in a remote corner of South America, Crawford got a lot more than he bargained for: a narrow escape from a kidnapping plot hatched by the people he was sent there to help. Then things only got stranger. In his quest to find adventure, Crawford undertook a savage journey of danger, drugs, sex, and alarming illness. What resulted is The Gringo: one part literary tale of two lonely years in the Amazon jungle and one part gonzo-journalism account of life in the Peace Corps, an agency wandering aimlessly through the 21st century. Filled with sharp humor and eye-opening observations about the human condition, this is an unforgettable story that grabs the listener and doesn't let go. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 532min
    Drusilla Dunjee Houston (1876-1941) was a teacher, journalist, and self-taught historian. Inspired by the works of WEB DuBois, Houston undertook a quest to discover African history from an African American perspective. In Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire, Houston identifies the Kushite civilization of Sudan, with its capital city Meroe, to be the cradle of humanity. She examines ancient Egypt to the north, the land and people of Ethiopia to the south, and on to Arabia, to find elements of Kushite culture. From there, she turns her gaze to Mesopotamia, to the land of Chaldea and to Babylonia, the land of marvels, and beyond to the Medes and Persians. Finally, Houston investigates the civilization of India, Hindu religion, and literature to round off her interesting thesis. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rodney Louis Tompkins.

    Anuta, Second Edition: Polynesian Lifeways for the Twenty-First Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 668min
    Revised to stimulate and engage an undergraduate student audience, Richard Feinberg's updated account of Anuta opens with a chapter on his varied experiences when he initially undertook fieldwork in this tiny, isolated Polynesian community in the Solomon Islands. He explores dominant cultural features, including language, kinship, marriage, politics, and religion topics that align with subject matter covered in introductory anthropology courses and he looks at some of the challenges Anutans face in the 21st century. Like many other peoples living on small, remote islands, Anutans strive to maintain traditional values while at the same time becoming involved in the world market economy. In all, Feinberg gives listeners magnificent material for studying the relations between demography, environment, culture, and society in this changing world. The book is published by Kent State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin C Gray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/085252/bk_acx0_085252_sample.mp3.

    The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    The long-awaited final volume of the trilogy by Patrick Leigh Fermor. A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water were the first two volumes in a projected trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook at the age of 18 from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. 'When are you going to finish Vol. III?' was the cry from his fans; but although he wished he could, the words refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated the other two. It remains unfinished but The Broken Road - edited and introduced by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper - completes an extraordinary journey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Crispin Redman.

    The Confessions : The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 838min
    The Confessions by Saint Augustine is considered an all-time number one Christian classic. Augustine undertook his greatest piece of writing with the conviction that God wanted him to make this confession. The Confessions is, in fact, an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. In this audiobook version, 13 scholars with a passion for Augustine have come together to give voice to this acclaimed translation by Maria Boulding, which flows like a novel.Augustine was, probably, 43 when he began this endeavor. He had been a baptized Christian for 10 years, a priest for six, and a bishop for only two. His pre-baptismal life raised questions in the community. Was his conversion genuine? But the first hearers were captivated, as many millions have been, over the following 16 centuries.His experience of God speaks to us across time, with little need of transpositions. This new translation masterfully captures his experience. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Various. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/194191/bk_acx0_194191_sample.mp3.

    Martha`s Home For Wayward Preppers: Prepper Novelettes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
    I was contacted by a number of readers who wanted to inquire about what had happened to their favorite characters who first appeared in the Prepper Trilogies. I undertook the task of answering this, as a thank you to my dedicated readers, by beginning a series of Novelettes, so that the characters could give voice to their own experiences from their differing personal perspectives. These are short little updating features that give my readers 'the rest of the story' that popular demand requested. This second book in the series finds Dump Truck and Crew at his cousin Martha`s` trying to scratch out a hardscrabble existence in the aftermath of a solar storm. Philburn and Roland finally meet Stewart and Melanie and a set of new characters is also introduced into the midst of this survival saga. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Duane Sharp.
