  Night, Neon (eBook, ePUB)

  From literary icon Joyce Carol Oates comes a brand new collection of haunting and, at times, darkly humorous mystery & suspense stories. These are tales of psyches pushed to their limits by the expectations of everyday life - from a woman who gets lost on her drive home to her plush suburban home and ends up breaking into a stranger's house, to a first-person account of a cloned 1940s magazine pinup girl being sold at auction and embodying America's ideals of beauty and womanhood. Taken as a whole, the collection forms a poignant tapestry of regular people searching for their place in a social hierarchy, often with devastating and disastrous results. Rendered with stylish, fresh writing from an author who continues to push the envelope, the stories deftly weave in and out of a stream-of-consciousness to reflect the ways we process traumatic experiences and impart that uncertainty and uneasiness to the reader. Originally appearing in publications as disparate as Harper's, Vice, and Conjunctions, the stories comprising Night, Neon showcase Oates' mastery of the suspense story - and her relentless use of the form to conduct unapologetically honest explorations of American identity. 'Embracing the twists and turns of everyday American life, the author's latest short story collection is playful, gripping and disturbing' Guardian

  You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min

  A woman known only as A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality dating show called That's My Partner! A eats mostly popsicles and oranges, watches endless amounts of television, often just for the commercials - particularly the recurring cartoon escapades of Kandy Kat, the mascot for an entirely chemical dessert - and models herself on a standard of beauty that exists only in such advertising. She fixates on the 15 minutes of fame a local celebrity named Michael has earned after buying up a Wally's Supermarket's entire, and increasingly ample, supply of veal. Meanwhile, B is attempting to make herself a twin of A, who in turn hungers for something to give meaning to her life - something aside from C's pornography addiction. Maybe something like what's gotten into her neighbors across the street, the family who's begun "ghosting" themselves beneath white sheets and whose garage door features a strange scrawl of graffiti: he who sits next to me, may we eat as one. An intelligent and madly entertaining novel reminiscent of The Crying of Lot 49, White Noise, and City of Glass, Alexandra Kleeman's unforgettable debut is a missing-person mystery told from the point of view of the missing person; an American horror story that concerns sex and friendship, consumption and appetite, faith and transformation, real food and reality television; and, above all, a wholly singular vision of modern womanhood by a frightening, "stunning" (Conjunctions), and often very funny voice of a new generation. ungekürzt.

  Enneagram of Personality: Deep Inner-Self Discovery, Evolution of the Human Consciousness for Constructive Relationship with Other , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min

  The nine distinct styles or types, with each making up a worldview and archetype that resonates with the way individuals think and reason, feel and behave in relation to the world, others, and themselves is known as the Enneagram. It is much more than just a personality summary that offers insight into different core personality traits, as it digs deeper into the core motivations, defense mechanisms, and fears that often lie in the oblivious layers of our personality structure. Our Enneagram core type is like a home base from which we all make sense of integration, individuation, and development as well.The Enneagram styles are not based on behaviors alone; also, outward behavior can be deceiving when exploring the Enneagram. To distinguish between styles, it is important to access motivation, to explore why a person chooses to act in a certain way and why acting in that way is valued by that individual. The Enneagram is an exceptional framework for understanding more about ourselves. No matter the point of view from which we approach it, we will always discover fresh conjunctions of new and old ideas.Presented in logical order, this audiobook covers critical topics like:The Enneagram as a universal symbol of an ancient teaching: the perennial wisdomThe Enneagram as a map for developing self-awarenessTranslating your Enneagram test resultA simple strategy to improve self-knowledge, achieve self-awareness and self-improvementAnd more...In supplement to profoundly informative content from Enneagram expert Carter Rettergan, the audiobook includes interactive prompts. This audiobook teaches about the challenges, strengths, and opportunities for that personality type in order to guide to a more meaningful life, lasting relationship, and a deeper understanding of yourself.Grab your copy of Enneagram of Personality today! ungekürzt.

  Grammar for Success, Hörbuch, Digital, 331min

  Grammar for Success Grammar for Success will guide you through the challenges and intricacies of usage, spelling, and punctuation. You won't be loaded down with abstract theories. Grammar will be explained only as it applies to usage...to language in action, to ideas and strategies that you can use everyday of your writing life. First, you will learn how to avoid the 60 most common and serious word mix-ups. English has by far the largest vocabulary in the history of humankind. Our language is the most prolific word-making machine that has ever been invented, with over 616,500 words. That's why there are so many confusable words...mischievous imps such as lie and lay, less and fewer, affect and effect. As concisely as possible, you will learn how to sort them out. Then you will systematically review the most common structural problems that beset pronouns, verbs, modifiers, prepositions, and conjunctions. Remove Obstacles in Your Path. Next comes a lesson on spelling. Linguist Mario Pei has described English spelling as "the world's most awesome mess". Spelling is not messy as it may appear. By learning essential rules and memory devices good spellers use, you will come to see the orderliness of English spelling. Finally, we provide an outline of all the basic marks of punctuation. As with spelling, the aim is to demystify the battalion of punctuation marks and show you how they will help you communicate what you want to say in writing. Writing well is one of life's greatest joys. Grammar for Success will help you acquire the skills necessary to imbue your writing with style and effectiveness. And remember, this is an audio series, so all you have to do...is listen! Language: English. Narrator: Richard Dowis.
