Swings Don't Grow Lonely: A Tale of Endings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
Richard, an old man awaiting the end, and Anne, a young girl with burdens no girl should bear, sit on the swings and circle around the only topic of import. In this moving and bleak story of both untimely and timely ends, Alex Issa draws emotion effortlessly and powerfully with the very picture of bittersweet truth. "I saw my dad yesterday. He says hi and...Richard are you listening?" Her eyebrow rose in annoyance and she scratched at her nose, secretly and not so secretly removing the offending strand of hair from her face, till he focused in on her and away from the crow. "He said thank you, too." Richard felt his legs become twigs and then straw until they spindled out of his control and he dropped his shoulders in defeat. He let the swing drag his feet along the dirt and let the tufts of dust pool up along the straps of his sandals and kiss the cracks of his toes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Dennis.

The Accidental Admiral: A Sailor Takes Command at NATO , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
After he was selected to be NATO's 16th Supreme Allied Commander, the New York Times described Jim Stavridis as a "Renaissance admiral." A US Naval Academy graduate with a master's degree and doctorate from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, conversant in both French and Spanish, this author of numerous books and articles impressed the Navy's leaders and senior Pentagon civilians with his wide range of interests, educational background, keen understanding of strategic doctrine, mastery of long-range planning, and command of international affairs. Since NATO had previously been led by generals, Stavridis saw his assignment as the first admiral to take command as somewhat "accidental." As the American and NATO commander in Europe responsible for 120,000 coalition troops serving in 51 nations, on three continents and at sea he had come a long way since almost leaving the Navy for law school five years after receiving his commission. The Accidental Admiral offers an intimate look at the challenges of directing NATO operations in Afghanistan, military intervention in Libya, and preparation for possible war in Syria. ungekürzt.

Event Horizon
* Marvin is known for bristling, provocative poems on what it means to be a woman and navigating turbulent relationships with both beloved ones and oneself. * Marvin, dubbed a "postmodern Plath," can find herself simultaneously violent and tender, sharp and vulnerable, using irony and dark humor just as skillfully as Plath to make fierce observations on relationships and loss. * Marvin co-founded VIDA, an organization committed to highlighting gender disparities in the larger landscape of literary publications. The organization is known for the "VIDA Count," an annual gender breakdown of major literary publications and book reviews. * Marvin had her first child through IVF in her late 30s. Some poems address the contrasts between how she was parented versus what she wants for her daughter. * Marvin explores a plethora of complicated relationships and their statuses-old or reconnected boyfriends, toxic friendships, austere parents, being a single mother. * Recipient of a Whiting Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award. * Some poems in Event Horizon refer to or are in conversation with other writers, including "dead poets" like Marianne Moore and Richard Howard, and also more contemporary ones like Sharon Olds and Wallace Stevens. * Marvin is an only child, and her father was a CIA intelligence analyst. There are poems about their strained relationship in the book.- Shop: buecher

The Moral Lives of Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 907min
Wild elephants walking along a trail stop and spontaneously try to protect and assist a weak and dying fellow elephant. Laboratory rats, finding other rats caged nearby in distressing circumstances, proceed to rescue them. A chimpanzee in a zoo loses his own life trying to save an unrelated infant who has fallen into a watery moat. The examples above and many others, argues Dale Peterson, show that our fellow creatures have powerful impulses toward cooperation, generosity, and fairness. Yet it is commonly held that we Homo sapiens are the only animals with a moral sense - that we are somehow above and apart from our fellow creatures. This rigorous and stimulating book challenges that notion, and it shows the profound connections - the moral continuum - that link humans to many other species. Peterson shows how much animal behavior follows principles embodied in humanity's ancient moral codes, from the Ten Commandments to the New Testament. Understanding the moral lives of animals offers new insight into our own. Dale Peterson's biography Jane Goodall: The Woman Who Redefined Man was a New York Times Book Review Notable Book and Boston Globe Best Book of 2006. His other publications include Visions of Caliban (with Jane Goodall) and Demonic Males (with Richard Wrangham). Peterson lectures in English at Tufts University. ungekürzt. Language: English.
