    Night Winds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min
    Set in the late 1800s, with plenty of action and humor. Blue Cantor was born in one of the worst brothels along the Texas border. His mother gave him the unusual name of Blue not because of love or affection; it was simply because blue was the color of his eyes. His last memories of her were when he was a child and the day she died in the fire that scarred his face. Blue and Micah became friends when trapping along the Green River. Both men were loners but found they had a lot in common. They were on their own at an early age and had grown to love the untamed wilderness, whether it was scouting for a wagon train or fighting their way out of some of the toughest saloons in the West. ungekürzt.

    Phone Sex Manual: How to Get Started and Operate a Profitable Home Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
    Sex sells - in advertising, in brothels, on television, in the movies, and on the telephone. The purpose of this book is to give you an insight into how you can start your own income-producing phone-sex business in the privacy of your own home. Included are sections on How to protect your privacy, setting up the business, where to get whatever training is necessary, marketing tips, qualifying the customer, hiring phone-sex operators, pricing/billing structures, selecting a business name, and much, much more. Also covered is the importance of following the rules - not breaking the law, and staying profitable and out of jail. This book is not a how-to for establishing a large multi-line switchboard phone-sex company: you can start one of those after you learn the ropes.

    Nature's Mutiny: How the Little Ice Age of the Long Seventeenth Century Transformed the West and Shaped the Present (eBook, ePUB)
    "A sweeping story, embracing developments in economics and science, philosophy and exploration, religion and politics. . . . Beautifully clear.”— John Lanchester, The New Yorker Hailed as an "arresting” (Lawrence Klepp, New Criterion) account, Nature's Mutiny chronicles the great climate crisis of the seventeenth century that totally transformed Europe's social and political fabric. Best-selling historian Philipp Blom reveals how a new, radically altered Europe emerged out of the "Little Ice Age” that diminished crop yields across the continent, forcing thousands to flee starvation in the countryside to burgeoning urban centers, and even froze London's Thames, upon which British citizens erected semipermanent frost fairs with bustling kiosks, taverns, and brothels. Highlighting how politics and culture also changed drastically, Blom evokes the era's most influential artists and thinkers who imagined groundbreaking worldviews to cope with environmental cataclysm. As we face a climate crisis of our own, "Blom's prodigious synthesis delivers a sharply-focused lesson for the twenty-first century: the profound effects of just a few degrees of climate change can alter the course of civilization, forever” (Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History).

    Queer City
    'Droll, provocative and crammed to busting with startling facts' Simon Callow, GuardianIn this powerful Sunday Times bestseller Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way - through the history and experiences of its gay population.In Roman Londinium the city was dotted with lupanaria ('wolf dens' or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels) and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure.Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music and the horror of AIDS.Today, we live in an era of openness and tolerance and Queer London has become part of the new norm. Ackroyd tells us the hidden story of how it got there, celebrating its diversity, thrills and energy on the one hand; but reminding us of its very real terrors, dangers and risks on the other.
