Bound for You: Men in Blue, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min, (USK 18)

Ben has lived through hell. He only survived captivity and torture by the brutes who'd been attempting to develop a potent aphrodisiac used as a date rape drug, because of the guy he met - and fell in lust with - in the drug lord's dungeons. Ryan became Ben's roommate after they escaped. His nearness is constantly tempting Ben to force Ryan to submit to his dark desires. Disgusted by how similar that makes him to their captors, he's managed to hold off so far. How long can he keep his cravings for Ryan's sexy body at bay? On top of that, they both seem to be falling for the same woman. If Ben has reservations about unleashing his sexual appetites on Ryan then that goes double for Shari, who is entirely too sweet and inexperienced for either of them. Or so Ben thinks. When Shari teams up with Ryan to change Ben's mind, it seems like Ben might consider turning their three-way fling into something serious. Until a threat to Ben's niece reminds them that it's not always possible to keep those you love safe. After losing his sister in the date rape drug scandal, Ben might never be ready to take that risk again. None of them could have realized they were bound for something greater than a traditional partner in life, but Shari and Ryan are sure the three of them will benefit from the love of not one, but two, strong, giving soul mates who can help them leave the darkness of their past behind. Will they be able to convince Ben that living fully is better than living cautiously? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory Salinas.

Ladies' Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min

Ladies' Night is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of sheer nerve rattling terror, previously deemed too violent for mass-market publication. In this modern tale of the ages-old battle of the sexes carried to the extreme, Jack Ketchum again provides listeners with an excursion into horror as relentless as a John Woo film. Tom Braun and his wife, Susan, aren't exactly a picturesque couple. Thus it comes as no surprise that Tom continually spends late evenings in bars and cheats on his wife. Unfortunately, their son, Andy, is caught in the middle of his parent's childish banter and family chaos. One life-altering evening turns this family's, along with most of New York's, perceptions on the nuclear family and male/female relationships upside down. When a tanker trunk with "Ladies Inc." emblazoned on the side crashes in a quiet area in New York, an area it doesn't have authorization to be in, it liberally spills its contents all over the road and into the surrounding atmosphere. The local authorities deem the contents of the spill to be safe, based merely on the assumption that products coming from a women's label are more than likely benign. Moreover, the smell emanating from the spill is one of sweet cherry, similar to lollipops, which must of course be harmless if not favorable. This aforementioned assumption proves fatally incorrect. The chemical load the truck was hauling procures a discomfiting, bestial effect in women, forcing them to savagely attack males in their vicinity - be they former friend or foe. Tom, while at a local bar, absorbs the evening's strange turn of events with traumatizing clarity as he witnesses first hand the metamorphosis of surrounding women into gruesomely instinctual brutes and mantis-like predators. He must get home to his son Andy, who is currently alone with his wife, Susan - before it is too late. (A multicast production.) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anthony Mendez.

Lesser Beasts: A Snout-to-Tail History of the Humble Pig , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min

Unlike other barnyard animals, which pull plows, give eggs or milk, or grow wool, a pig produces only one thing: meat. Incredibly efficient at converting almost any organic matter into nourishing, delectable protein, swine are nothing short of a gastronomic godsend - yet their flesh is banned in many cultures, and the animals themselves are maligned as filthy, lazy brutes. As historian Mark Essig reveals in Lesser Beasts, swine have such a bad reputation for precisely the same reasons they are so valuable as a source of food: they are intelligent, self-sufficient, and omnivorous. What's more, he argues, we ignore our historic partnership with these astonishing animals at our peril. Tracing the interplay of pig biology and human culture from Neolithic villages 10,000 years ago to modern industrial farms, Essig blends culinary and natural history to demonstrate the vast importance of the pig and the tragedy of its modern treatment at the hands of humans. Pork, Essig explains, has long been a staple of the human diet, prized in societies from Ancient Rome to dynastic China to the contemporary American South. Yet pigs' ability to track down and eat a wide range of substances (some of them distinctly unpalatable to humans) and convert them into edible meat has also led people throughout history to demonize the entire species as craven and unclean. Today's unconscionable system of factory farming, Essig explains, is only the latest instance of humans taking pigs for granted, and the most recent evidence of how both pigs and people suffer when our symbiotic relationship falls out of balance. An expansive, illuminating history of one of our most vital yet unsung food animals, Lesser Beasts turns a spotlight on the humble creature that, perhaps more than any other, has been a mainstay of civilization since its very beginnings - whether we like it or not. ungekürzt.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

New York Times BestsellerNow part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul PeckRecipient of the American Book AwardThe first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoplesToday in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them. Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

Récit d'un voyage à pied à travers la Russie et la Sibérie tartare (eBook, ePUB)

Parti de Londres en 1820, John Dundas Cochrane, capitaine de la marine britannique, entreprend seul un voyage à pied à travers l'Empire russe, jusqu'aux frontières de Chine. L'expédition prendra trois ans au bout desquels il retournera au pays en compagnie d'une épouse, une jeune Kamtchadale. Les difficultés, les incidents sont innombrables. Notre singulier marcheur ne tient aucun compte des conditions météorologiques et prétend en plein hiver sibérien ne pas se vêtir autrement qu'en Ecosse. Pourvu d'un équipement rudimentaire, il lui faut une certaine dose de courage et d'inconscience pour parcourir ces contrées glaciales par des chemins, quand il en existe, impraticables. Mais, Cochrane est avant tout un amoureux du voyage, un fin observateur et son journal nous fait découvrir ce que fut la vie dans ces immensités encore sauvages. C'est aussi le récit de la fantastique expérience vécue par un homme qui outre la fatigue, le froid et la faim, va découvrir chez ces peuplades un accueil et une générosité auxquels il ne s'attendait pas du tout avant son départ d'Angleterre. Au fil des pages, le regard de Cochrane sur ceux qu'il croyait être des sauvages, des brutes ignares, change au point qu'il reconnaîtra n'avoir jamais été aussi heureux que perdu au milieu de la Sibérie. EXTRAIT J'atteignis bientôt les rives du Chouboukalah et de la Galanima, plus importante. Puis je passai le long d'une vallée boisée et gagnai le rapide Indighirka, à l'endroit où se jette la Galanima. Peu de temps après, j'entrai dans la ville de Zachiversk. De tous les endroits que j'ai déjà vus qui portent le nom de cité ou de ville, celui-ci est le plus triste et le plus désolé. Mon sang se figea en l'approchant. Rien de ce que j'avais aperçu dans les sierras rocheuses ou enneigées d'Espagne, au Canada, dans les montagnes d'Amérique du Nord, les Pyrénées ou les Alpes, ne peut être comparé à la désolation du paysage qui m'entourait ! Le premier relais important, à mi-chemin à partir de Iakoutsk, est à neuf cents, ou mille miles d'un lieu civilisé. Un tel endroit a pour nom un commissariat et compte sept maisons misérables, habitées chacune par deux religieux, un officier non mandaté et un officier en chef, un chef des postes, un marchand et une vieille veuve. Pendant mon service dans la marine, quand les marins se faisaient rares, j'ai vu un navire marchand avec seize fusils et seulement quinze hommes, mais je n'ai jamais vu une ville compter sept habitants seulement. J'y restai trois jours en vivant dans un luxe auquel je n'avais plus été habitué. Je me nourrissais de lièvres, de loups, d'ours, de rennes sauvages et d'élans qui vivent ici en grand nombre. On mange aussi les renards, très nombreux également. Je trouvai que la viande d'ours et de loup était bonne quand on a très faim. La viande de renne est un mets délicat. Mais je pense que l'élan surpasse tout ce que j'ai goûté : il contient les éléments nutritifs du boeuf et a la saveur délicate du renne. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Je ne peux que recommander cet ouvrage aux amoureux de la Russie et de la Sibérie, mais aussi à tous les amateurs de vieux récits de voyage. - Xian_Moriarty, Babelio John Dundas Cochrane était un fou de marche, une force de la nature. Il décrit un monde en construction, une Russie qui se découvre et se crée. - Veronique, Goodreads
