    Paris, Novembre
    On the night of 13 November 2015, Paris was convulsed by a series of coordinated attacks. Sze Tsung Nicolás Leong, not far from the strikes, did not consider taking photographs, weighed on not only by the difficulty of depicting a city already so exhaustively pictured, but more so by the impossibility of representing such tragedy. The next day Leong, wandering the city in the aftermath of the events, turned his camera downward to the ground, focusing on an aspect of the city we repeatedly look at yet largely do not notice. The resulting photos render a seemingly known city strange and unfamiliar. At first appearing to be abstractions or even aerials or views of the cosmos, they reveal specific details we would otherwise miss and which contain gravity in their apparent banality-from cigarettes left on the asphalt by mourners, to the footprints and broken glass of the night before, and the sawdust scattered on the sidewalks soaking up blood. Paris, Novembre is a portrait of a city at a traumatic moment in its history and an exploration of how that history leaves its marks on the city's ground. Leong's series is a gesture of mourning and contemplation, seemingly of nothing and the reluctance to look, yet at the same time of looking closely and intently.

    When Becky and Savita Studied at Mrs Dipple's House: Study Breaks: Lust, Love, Lust and Deception in Suburbia, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min, (USK 18)
    When the glamorous Mrs Dipple offers Becky and Savita a place to study for their college exams, she also offers a limitless supply of drinks and cookies. It seems too good to be true. Mrs Dipple positions herself on a chest-of-drawers and Savita, as she lies on the bed studying with the shapely and popular Becky, finds herself tempted into showing her hostess a glimpse of the white panties under her own black dress. While Becky studies, apparently entirely oblivious, Savita is drawn into an incredibly erotic slow striptease while Mrs Dipple watches intently. Will Mrs Dipple be tempted to reciprocate? Can she resist the gorgeous half-Indian girl who is slowly stripping before her eyes? Will Becky ‘wake’ from her studies and roundly condemn Savita and their married hostess? Or will Savita push things further, tapping into her ‘bi’ side, tempting her hostess, and bringing herself to incredible heights of passion and arousal in the most erotica encounter of her entire life? On your own or with a partner, this story will transport you into an ultra-sexy place, leaving you breathless and satisfied… a subtle, spicy, and extremely arousing slice of erotica. ungekürzt.

    Snappy Sassy Salty: Wise Words for Authors and Writers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    Authoring and writing can be a lonely number.... Could you use a pick-me-up? A bit of inspiration or silliness? How about something to chew on or get you unstuck? In Snappy Sassy Salty: Wise Words for Authors and Writers, you will find all that and more. Do you love original quotations that get to the nitty-gritty and, at the same time, can touch your heart and soul? Author Judith Briles' favorite advice over the years to her many author clients is included: think and write snappy, sassy, and salty, and surround yourself with cheerleaders for your vision, not distractors. For the first time, she reveals publicly how a well-known author, columnist, humorist, and screenwriter had dinner with her, listened intently, then used her ideas in one of his columns - a column that he got paid for; she didn't. The cosmic goose had landed. Judith told herself that if she didn't start taking some of her own ideas and publishing them, others would. Her first book, The Woman's Guide to Financial Savvy, was published by St. Martin's Press a year later. She's on number 34 now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Judith Briles.

    Ice Cream Social: The Struggle for the Soul of Ben & Jerry's , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    Ben & Jerry's has always been committed to an insanely ambitious three-part mission: Making the world's best ice cream, supporting progressive causes, and sharing the company's success with all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, distributors, customers, cows, everybody. But it hasn't been easy. This is the first book to tell the full, inside story of the inspiring rise, tragic mistakes, devastating fall, determined recovery, and ongoing renewal of one of the most iconic mission-driven companies in the world. No previous book has focused so intently on the challenges presented by staying true to that mission. No other book has explained how the company came to be sold to corporate giant Unilever or how that relationship evolved to allow Ben & Jerry's to pursue its mission on a much larger stage. Journalist Brad Edmondson tells the story with an eye for details, dramatic moments, and memorable characters. He interviewed dozens of key figures, particularly Jeff Furman, who helped Ben and Jerry write their first business plan in 1978 and became chairman of the board in 2010. It's a funny, sad, surprising, and ultimately hopeful story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brad Edmondson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/016257/bk_acx0_016257_sample.mp3.

    What Have We Done: The Moral Injury of Our Longest Wars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Wood, a battlefield view of moral injury, the signature wound of America's 21st-century wars. Most Americans are now familiar with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its prevalence among troops. In this groundbreaking new audiobook, David Wood examines the far more pervasive yet less understood experience of those we send to war: moral injury, the violation of our fundamental values of right and wrong that so often occurs in the impossible moral dilemmas of modern conflict. Featuring portraits of combat veterans and leading mental health researchers, along with Wood's personal observations of war and the young Americans deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, What Have We Done offers an unflinching look at war and those who volunteer for it: the thrill and pride of service and, too often, the scars of moral injury. Impeccably researched and deeply personal, What Have We Done is a compassionate, finely drawn study of modern war and those caught up in it. It is a call to acknowledge our newest generation of veterans by listening intently to them and absorbing their stories and, as new wars approach, to ponder the inevitable human costs of putting American boots on the ground. ungekürzt.

    Bamboo People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
    Bang! A side door bursts open. Soldiers pour into the room. They're shouting and waving rifles. I shield my head with my arms. It was a lie! I think, my mind racing. Girls and boys alike are screaming. The soldiers prod and herd some of us together and push the rest apart as if we're cows or goats. Their leader, though, is a middle-aged man. He's moving slowly, intently, not dashing around like the others. 'Take the boys only, Win Min,' I overhear him telling a tall, gangly soldier. 'Make them obey.' Chiko isn't a fighter by nature. He's a book-loving Burmese boy whose father, a doctor, is in prison for resisting the government. Tu Reh, on the other hand, wants to fight for freedom after watching Burmese soldiers destroy his Karenni family's home and bamboo fields. Timidity becomes courage and anger becomes compassion as each boy is changed by unlikely friendships formed under extreme circumstances. This coming-of-age novel takes place against the political and military backdrop of modern-day Burma. Narrated by two teenagers on opposing sides of the conflict between the Burmese government and the Karenni, one of the many ethnic minorities in Burma, Bamboo People explores the nature of violence, power, and prejudice. ungekürzt.

    The Goodbye Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    As more people filled the packed church, Jack was forced to move down the wall toward the front, until he was very near the altar. From that vantage point, he could see the young mother's face. He found himself staring at her, unable to look away. He didn't know why. Perhaps it was the terrible sadness in her face. He watched her intently as she clutched a little brown teddy bear and a picture of her daughter, who now lay only feet away in a small casket. The size of it made him wince. Jack felt the anger rise within him.At 60 years old, Jack Steele has long since retired from putting criminals-especially those that hurt children-in prison. Following his retirement from law enforcement, he built a successful multimillion-dollar company, allowing him financial freedom in his golden years. Following the unexpected loss of his wife, Sarah, however, he withdraws into himself. He becomes a loner whose only companion is his German shepherd, Sadie.Sick of a court system that lets monsters out of prison to torture and kill again and again, he decides there is only one way to stop them. Using his own resources, his credentials as a retired police officer, and his .380 Walther, he and his dog begin to hunt-bringing justice to those whom the system cannot control. After all, enough is enough. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Kahlenberg. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/160085/bk_acx0_160085_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
