Crystallizing Public Opinion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 277min
Crystallizing Public Opinion by Edward Bernays, published in 1923, is one of the earliest books to set out the practice and principles of public relations. The author sees the public relations practitioner as someone who creates a useful symbolic linkage among the masses. He or she crafts appropriate messages based on a study of group psychology and disseminated as an act of creating news. Quoting theorists like Walter Lippmann and Wilfred Trotter, Bernays provides numerous examples from his own career. He states that individuals rarely keep logical order among the judgments and opinions in their mind, and that they ought to be approached by a means beyond the rational. The book’s four chapters are titled "Scope & Functions", "The Group & Herd", "Techniques & Methods", and "Ethical Relations". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Purcell.

The Sun: The Gabriel Ramirez Series, Book 72 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
Interesting fact, the sun is terrible at fusion. Think about it, why hasn't the sun just instantly ignited all its fuel, and blow up all the milky way? The limiting factor infusion for the sun is one, heat, and two beta decays. The first you likely knew, but beta decay, "whatchu talking about Willis?" I'm quoting Arnold from one of my favorites shows growing up called Different Strokes. Well, when you smash two hydrogen atoms together, you get what we call a di-proton. It is sometimes called Helium-two, and boy does it not like existing. Due to the fundamental properties of atomic and subatomic particles, he-two is unstable. Most times, like nearly every time he-two created, the protons break back apart into hydrogen atoms, the party just stops. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachel Q. Haines.

Lit: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
Lit follows Mary Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness - and her astonishing resurrection. Karr's longing for a solid family seems secure when her marriage to a handsome, Shakespeare-quoting poet produces a son they adore. But she can't outrun her apocalyptic past. She drinks herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide. A hair-raising stint in "The Mental Marriott" awakens her to the possibility of joy, and leads her to an unlikely faith. Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. It is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up - as only Mary Karr can tell it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Karr.

The Clicking of Cuthbert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
Who but P.G. Wodehouse could have extracted high comedy from the most noble and ancient game of golf? And who else could have combined this comedy with a real appreciation of the game, drawn from personal experience? Wodehouse's brilliant but human brand of humor is perfectly suited to these stories of love, rivalry, revenge, and fulfillment on the links. While the Oldest Member sits in the clubhouse quoting Marcus Aurelius on patience and wisdom, outside on the green the fiercest human passions burn. All kinds of human life are here, from the cocky professional Sandy McHoots to the shy Ramsden Waters, whose only consolation is golf. Even golf-haters will not be able to resist stories that so perfectly blend physical farce with verbal wit and a gallery of unforgettable characters. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany, Hörbuch, Digital, 340min
From one of our most interesting literary figures - former editor of Granta, former fiction editor at The New Yorker, acclaimed author of Among the Thugs - a sharp, funny, exuberant, close-up account of his headlong plunge into the life of a professional cook. Expanding on his James Beard Award-winning New Yorker article, Bill Buford gives us a richly evocative chronicle of his experience as "slave" to Mario Batali in the kitchen of Batali's three-star New York restaurant, Babbo.In a fast-paced, candid narrative, Buford describes three frenetic years of trials and errors, disappointments and triumphs, as he worked his way up the Babbo ladder from "kitchen bitch" to line cook...his relationship with the larger-than-life Batali, whose story he learns as their friendship grows through (and sometimes despite) kitchen encounters and after-work all-nighters...and his immersion in the arts of butchery in Northern Italy, of preparing game in London, and making handmade pasta at an Italian hillside trattoria.Heat is a marvelous hybrid: a memoir of Buford's kitchen adventure, the story of Batali's amazing rise to culinary (and extra-culinary) fame, a dazzling behind-the-scenes look at a famous restaurant, and an illuminating exploration of why food matters. It is a book to delight in, and to savor. Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Buford.
