Travel Tales Monthly: No. 7 Jan 2015 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
The January issue samples safety and security of the woman solo traveler (as well as women traveling together in pairs or very small groups) - the quest to achieve safe and secure, relatively comfortable, unencumbered, and unimpeded travel throughout the world. Unfortunately, travel today for anyone, and particularly for women, has increasing challenges, what with growing terror threats, the imposition of severe and strict cultural and religious restrictions of women's rights and freedoms, as well as the apparent decreasing tolerance for cultural and religious differences and diversity across certain borders around the world. Introduction to "Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults" Part 1: "Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults" is divided into two parts simply because there is so much material. Part 1 appears here in the current Travel Tales Monthly No. 7 Jan 2015 issue and serves as a general introduction to this subject matter. Part 2: The unabridged and expanded forthcoming "Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults", part of the Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series, is a larger volume and includes both Parts 1 and 2. Women traveling alone and surviving the many hassles and occasional assaults is challenging in the least. For women, alone travel mostly is exciting and relatively safe. But for many women traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, can often be traumatic and downright dangerous. I have tales of women constantly doing battle with those who would bother and hassle them. And some women, sad to say, have simply disappeared from the marketplace, never to be seen again. To be a woman and to travel alone in such forbidding places is simply not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, many young women simply do not "get it", in that they are rather naively unaware and must be exceedingly careful. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Roelofs.

Troublemaker: Let's Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
From the moment she upset a heavily favored incumbent in the primary for the special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Joe Biden, Christine O’Donnell made headlines. Though she didn't win the general election, O’Donnell did win the designation of 2010’s Most Covered Candidate. And what people were talking about wasn't just gossip: they responded to a fresh, unencumbered voice that appealed to voter frustration with politics—and politicians—as usual. America’s strength lies in its government “by the people, for the people”, but too many of those people feel they are now just labeled featureless residents of "flyover country", told what to think and what they can and cannot do by an entrenched, reigning class of elites. O’Donnell’s candidacy gave hope that the voices of real people—the people—not only can be heard but can also become a force. Part of this hope is invested in the nascent Tea Party, but most of it is invested in individual voters who are willing to work hard and make sacrifices for what they believe in, not what backroom dealing and a bloated federal government has mandated is good for them. Troublemaker is about where O’Donnell comes from—the Philadelphia suburbs, with five kids to a room—and what she weathered in the 2010 election. But the core of the book is a clear, straightforward discussion of an America that yearns to embrace freedom and opportunity through personal responsibility, and how it is hamstrung and stymied by excessive regulation, taxation, and the sanctimony of a "nanny state". And Troublemaker will deliver an important, rousing message about what we do with the quiet anger in America today: where we can go and how strong we can be, from here. Warning readers that challenging the status quo makes the political establishment push back, O'Donnell wants to build a movement that will continue to goad it. It's practical, too, since O'Donnell believes in power through participation - ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christine O'Donnell.

Cronies, a Burlesque: Adventures with Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, the Merry Pranksters and the Grateful Dead
A bullet train of a book, fast-paced, hilarious, rich with action. A harbinger of good things to come in mysterious ways. It all began at a cocktail party at Wallace Stegner's for the Stanford writing class of 1958. Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs became cronies, embarking on a frolicking, rambunctious adventure that lasted over 40 years. Babbs calls the 70 stories of this book "burlesques" because, after 85 years of living, much of it in the wide friendly center of an evolving, at times psychedelic culture, memory no longer can, or even should include an exact retelling, but only a tasty sprinkling of the truth, mixed with an endless enigma, all topped with the best of humor and heart. The troupe of characters include the Kens Kesey and Babbs, Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Timothy Leary, Jerry Garcia, Pigpen, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mountain Girl, Sonny Barger, Larry McMurtry, Wavy Gravy, Hunter S. Thompson, Kirk Douglas, Paul Newman, Jan Kerouac, Bill Walton, Wendell Berry, a pick-up bed-sized sturgeon, and always the many free-spirited, creative, friendly men and women who made up the Merry Band of Pranksters. Come along for the ride on the famous bus trip to Manhattan. Join the Hells Angels at their partying best. Drop in for the early Acid Tests. Experience the Berkeley Vietnam anti-war rally. Relish the stories of Kesey's pot busts and "suicide." Climb aboard-"Board!"-for six months on the lam in Mexico. Take the Further tours with the Grateful Dead. Make the ultimate move to Oregon, where Babbs and Kesey grew a magical friendship and collaboration until Kesey passed in 2001. Irreverent, unencumbered by social norms, literary and poetic, Cronies is a poignant view of the Sixties and beyond from someone who was there, and remembers it well. Kind of...- Shop: buecher

The Prophet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
The Prophet is Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece and is one of the most popular spiritual books of all time. It tells the story of the prophet Al-Mustafa who is about board a ship, which will take him home. He enters into a discussion with a group of people on subjects as diverse as self knowledge, death, beauty, good and evil, love, pain, crime, shopping, life, and the human condition. The book is divided into 26 chapters and is essential reading for anyone on a spiritual journey. Read a chapter here and listen to Arthur Brown's beautiful narration of the book. 'Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death." And he said: You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? 'For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? 'Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.' ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Brown.

Into the Wild (eBook, ePUB)
"Terrifying... Eloquent... A heart-rending drama of human yearning."--New York Times In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. How Christopher Johnson McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild. Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild. Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless's short life. Admitting an interst that borders on obsession, he searches for the clues to the dries and desires that propelled McCandless. Digging deeply, he takes an inherently compelling mystery and unravels the larger riddles it holds: the profound pull of the American wilderness on our imagination; the allure of high-risk activities to young men of a certain cast of mind; the complex, charged bond between fathers and sons. When McCandless's innocent mistakes turn out to be irreversible and fatal, he becomes the stuff of tabloid headlines and is dismissed for his naiveté, pretensions, and hubris. He is said to have had a death wish but wanting to die is a very different thing from being compelled to look over the edge. Krakauer brings McCandless's uncompromising pilgrimage out of the shadows, and the peril, adversity, and renunciation sought by this enigmatic young man are illuminated with a rare understanding--and not an ounce of sentimentality. Mesmerizing, heartbreaking, Into the Wild is a tour de force. The power and luminosity of Jon Krakauer's stoytelling blaze through every page.- Shop: buecher

As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center
Die Band, die ihre Art von langsamer, schwerer und kluger Musik als Stonegaze bezeichnet. Repress der EP von 2011,Die Band, die ihre Art von langsamer, schwerer und kluger Musik als Stonegaze bezeichnet. Repress der 2xLP von 2011. Mexican Summer present As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth by True Widow due for release on the 13th May 2016. Here is a band that has figured out how to play music that is traditionally recognized as heavy and slow, on traditional rock instruments, in a way that few have been able to accomplish: a melancholy, meditative approach to songwriting and soundscape that draws you in. They figured this out in the space of one album a self-titled debut from 2008. On As High As the Highest Heavens, they refine the work even further. Big guitar, bigger drums and the biggest bass effortlessly recreate the unending skies of prairie America, where storms blow across with fury, horizons are unencumbered by the choke of skyscrapers and electric light, and the atmosphere pushes you down. A rumbling backdrop of distortion churns away, both behind and within True Widow's plaintive song structures, but never overpowers it. Across a 50-minute runtime, the nine songs here range from excavated alt-rock anthems (Night Witches, Skull Eyes ) to methodical epics like Boaz and Blooden Horse, to triumphant bulldozers of sound like NH which splits the difference between dirge and hymn, the instruments staring into the ground while D.H. and Nikki's voices ascend to the clouds. TRACKS: 1. Jakyl 2. Blooden Horse 3. NH 4. Sku ll Eyes 5. Wither 6. Boaz 7. Night Witches 8. Interlude 9. Doomseer 10. Bathyscaphe (Bonus Track) 11. For Grace (Bonus Track) 12.
