    Mark Twain Speaking from the Grave: The Search for His Hidden Recordings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
    This is a "What if…?" novel. What if Mark Twain actually dictated secrets on the recordings he made toward the end of his life? What if he had hidden them for a future generation to find, then laid a trail of clues for their discovery?Following graduation from Middle Tennessee State College, I declined an offer to become a Border Patrol Agent in order to finish work on a Master of Arts degree in English at Peabody College, now part of Vanderbilt University. I had fun creating a scenario of what might have been.The real Sam Clemens - Mark Twain - was a very complex man who led a fascinating, diverse life for nearly 75 years. The man is much more interesting than I have been able to portray him in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Henzel.

    The Diet Delusion (eBook, ePUB)
    Where mainstream nutritional science has demonised dietary fat for 50 years, hundreds of millions of dollars of research have failed to prove that eating a low-fat diet will help you live longer. Nutrition and obesity scientists have struggled to make sense of the paradox that obesity has become an epidemic, that diabetes rates have soared and the incidence of heart disease has not declined despite the fact that society is more diet and health aware today than generations ago.The Diet Delusion is an in-depth, scientific, groundbreaking examination of what actually happens in your body as a result of what you eat, rather than what the diet industry might have you believe happens and is essential reading for anyone trying to decide which diet - low-fat or low-carbohydrate - is truly the healthy diet.For years we have been deluded by the dieting industry. Now it's time to find out the truth.

    Gentle Julia (eBook, ePUB)
    A light and witty novel, 'Gentle Julia' is filled with characters who you can't help but smile at. With an old-fashioned feel to it, this Booth Tarkington classic follows the escapades of a Julia Atwater and her younger cousin Florence as suitors attempt to woo her across town. Set in Indiana in the early 20th century, the story is entwined with silliness and the old-fashioned. Newton Booth Tarkington was an American novelist and dramatist best known as a multiple Pulitzer Prize-winner. He is only one of a handful of novelists to winning the Pulitzer Price more than once, winning it with his novels 'The Magnificent Ambersons' and 'Alice Adams'. Many of Tarkington's college years at Princeton and adult life are said to have mirror F. Scott Fitzgerald's. His popularity has declined over the decades but at one stage in the 1910s and 1920s he was considered one of America's best authors.

    Summary of Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance: Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
    Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J. D. Vance is an account of the struggles of white working-class Americans in the post-industrial United States. The author offers a message of hope by telling the story of how he went from growing up poor in Ohio's Rust Belt to graduating from Yale Law School. James David (J. D.) Vance's family is of Scots-Irish descent. His people have a long history of enduring poverty and hardship. Since the 18th century in the United States, the Scots-Irish have been plantation workers, sharecroppers, miners, and factory and millworkers. Many settled or have roots in Appalachia. Other Americans sometimes consider J. D.'s people "hillbillies, rednecks, or white trash". As industrial manufacturing has declined in recent decades, hillbillies have been hit especially hard. Please note: This is summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dwight Equitz.

Admitted into the Amerigo Magical Academy, he rekindles a friendship with his comrade-in-arms Selvo as they become new students. Yet without a magical affinity, Izzy’s progress is glacially slow.

Using ancient arts and trusted comrades, Izzy begins to piece together his own form of independent studies. And under a new Headmistress, the academy broadens its focus from the classroom to solving conflict throughout Amerigo. Despite his lack of natural talent in magic, Izzy finds himself the reluctant leader of a team of independent-minded students eager to put down the enemies of Amerigo. But some enemies are much closer than they seem.... ungekürzt.

    Restoration , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 731min
    An insightful dystopian tale with dynamic characters and a surfeit of surprises. (Kirkus Reviews)The year is 2075 and the human race is dying. Decades of war, famine, and bio-engineering have finally taken their toll, and birth rates have declined to near zero. The leaders of two of the solar system's largest corporations believe they can save humanity, but they will have to break the law to do it.Restoration will challenge your beliefs about what makes us human while taking you on a wild ride to the Asteroid Belt and beyond. Spanning more than five decades, Restoration explores the moral, physical and ethical consequences of using advanced technologies without fully understanding their effects and implications for our species.

    The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    A story too secret, too terrifying - and too shockingly intimate - for Victorian eyes. Dear Henry, I have been Simon Feximal's companion, assistant, and chronicler for 20 years now, and during that time my Casebooks of Feximal the Ghost-Hunter have spread the reputation of this most accomplished of ghost-hunters far and wide. You have asked me often for the tale of our first meeting, and how my association with Feximal came about. I have always declined, because it is a story too private to be truthfully recounted, and a memory too precious to be falsified. But none knows better than I that stories must be told. So here is it, Henry, a full and accurate account of how I met Simon Feximal, which I shall leave with my solicitor to pass to you after my death. I dare say it may not be quite what you expect.

    A Macat Analysis of Abraham H. Maslow's A Theory of Human Motivation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min
    US psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 essay "A Theory of Human Motivation" established his idea of humanistic psychology as a "third force" in the field. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis developed the idea of understanding the mind through dialogue between patient and analyst. The behaviorism of Ivan Pavlov and John Watson focused on comprehending it through behaviors that can be measured, trained, and changed. Maslow, however, outlined a new approach to understanding the mind, saying humans are motivated by their need to satisfy a series of hierarchical needs, starting with the most essential first. He thought it important for the advancement of psychology to identify, group, and rank them in terms of priority. While Maslow's psychological influence may have declined since his death in 1970, his most recognizable legacy is this concept of a "hierarchy of needs." It remains highly significant in the fields of strategy, marketing, and management, where it is believed that his ideas can lead to higher productivity if applied to the running of organizations. ungekürzt.
