    The Borderlands of Science: Where Sense Meets Nonsense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 791min
    Many people have difficulty figuring out the difference between science, borderline science, and just plain nonsense. When is a theory a fact, and when is it just conjecture? Michael Shermer, a leading science author and skeptic, divides knowledge into three classes: science, based on factual evidence; borderline science, based on scientific conjecture; and nonsense, where anything goes (e.g., Bigfoot). He is especially zealous about separating science from borderline science; borderline science includes many modern grand explanatory hypotheses, such as superstring theory. Nonetheless, most attempts to create a Theory of Everything result in nonsense. Shermer explores the work of Darwin, Freud, and Carl Sagan, as well as the shameful episode of the Piltdown Man. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

    Arthur Conan Doyle: The Poetry, Hörbuch, Digital, 86min
    If ever a writer needed an introduction, Arthur Conan Doyle would not be considered that man. After all, Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most well-known literary detective of any age. Add to this canon his stories of science fiction and horror, his historical novels, his political campaigning, and his efforts in establishing a Court Of Appeal, and there is little room for anything else. Except he was also a poet. Not perhaps the finest but his distinctive voice is certainly evident amongst his lines and verses. And it’s a voice worth listening to; something very different from what you might expect. So without further ado our readers, including Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe bring you the poems of Arthur Conan Doyle. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Mitchley, Ghizela Rowe.

    Babies and Other Hazards of Sex: How to Make a Tiny Person in Only 9 Months, with Tools You Probably Have around the Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
    Dave Barry exposes natural childbirth for what it is: a pop phenomenon of the 1960's that, along with paisley bell-bottoms and creative sideburns, deserves a rest. His new book gives parents-to-be the hard facts they need. He examines the new federal law requiring prospective fathers to free themselves from their self-made macho prison - to laugh, cry, love and just generally behave like certified wimps.Barry reveals, for the first time, the secret chant for painless childbirth. He also reveals why no secret chant could possibly take a woman's mind off the fact that she is in such pain, that she wants a gigantic comet to crash into the earth and kill her and her husband and the doctor and the nurses and everyone else in the world. ungekürzt.

    Der 30jährige Krieg, Hörbuch, Digital, 216min
    Was ursprünglich als Religionskrieg begonnen hatte, entwickelte sich rasch zu einer blutigen, nationalen Auseinandersetzung europäischer Großmächte. Deutschland wurde zum Schlachtfeld der Franzosen, Spanier, Österreicher und Schweden. Als die Waffen nach 30 Jahren endlich schwiegen und in Münster und Osnabrück 1648 der Westfälische Frieden geschlossen wurde, war die Mitte Europas verwüstet. Es sollte Generationen dauern, bis sich das Land von der Katastrophe des Krieges erholte. Das große Sterben begann im Mai 1618, als sich böhmische, protestantische Adelige gegen den katholischen Kaiser Ferdinand in Wien erhoben und seine Bevollmächtigten aus einem Fenster der Prager Burg stürzten. Der bayerische Feldherr Tilly und der Böhme Wallenstein kämpften für die kaiserliche Sache. Der charismatische schwedische König Gustav Adolf ergriff die Partei der Protestanten und eilte, bis zu seinem Tod in der Schlacht von Lützen, von Sieg zu Sieg. deutsch.

    Great Men of Genius, Part 3: Nikola Tesla, Hörbuch, Digital, 87min
    Monologist Mike Daisey presents a dazzling new work: four "bio-logues" about megalomania and desire constructed from the interleaved life stories of Bertolt Brecht, P.T. Barnum, Nikola Tesla, and L. Ron Hubbard. Over four nights Daisey explores the nature of genius and wrestles with the pride, insanity, and chauvinism that bind these men together, and reveals how the heights and depths of their gifts have much to teach us about ourselves. Each evening is unique and can be listened to independently, but all four together form an epic oral accounting of triumph and folly told with Daisey's dark and hilarious intensity.Nikola Tesla was a mad genius, brilliant scientist, and visionary who sparred with Thomas Edison and died insane and penniless writing love sonnets to pigeons - after bringing the world electricity as we know it.
