After being sawed and turned into planks he was transformed into a picnic table, ending up at Lake Windjammer “down in Ohio”. For over 30 year,s Sweet Gum encountered people of all ages as they came to picnic and play, often sitting on him and sometimes carving their initials in him. Now, his time has come. Redwood stain can no longer preserve him, but before he goes, old Gum needs to share his memories and has invited us to listen in as he reminisces about his Unsuspecting Friends.Written for a general audience, this fascinating narrative is capturing the hearts of children and adults alike and is being compared to the critically acclaimed Traveller, in which General Robert E.

    The New Atheists: The Twilight of Reason and the War on Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 340min
    From its gradual decline during the latter part of the twentieth century, religion has been catapulted back into public consciousness, not least by acts of violence, extremism and various forms of fundamentalism. In this lively and provocative contribution to the debate the leading British feminist theologian, Tina Beattie, argues that the threat of religious fanaticism is mirrored by a no less virulent and ignorant secular fanaticism which has taken hold of the intellectual classes in Britain and America. Its High Priest is Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, but its disciples and acolytes include well-known public figures such as philosophers Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and A C Grayling, journalists Christopher Hitchens and Polly Toynbee, and novelists Martin Amis and Ian McEwan. Theologians such as Alister McGrath and Keith Ward have defended the rationality of Christian beliefs about God, but both sides neglect wider questions about faith, science, power and justice in a postmodern world, which impinge deeply on all our lives. The New Atheists calls for a more wide-ranging and creative dialogue across religious and cultural boundaries. It will intrigue every open-minded reader, believer or non-believer. ungekürzt.

    The Meaning of Things, Hörbuch, Digital, 218min
    The unconsidered life is not worth living." - Socrates. Thinking about life, what it means and what it holds in store does not have to be a despondent experience, but rather can be enlightening and uplifting. A life truly worth living is one that is informed and considered so a degree of philosophical insight into the inevitabilities of the human condition is inherently important and such an approach will help us to deal with real personal dilemmas. This book is an accessible, lively, and thought-provoking series of linked commentaries, based on A.C. Grayling's "The Last Word" column in the Guardian. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept one particular philosophical point of view or theory, but to help us consider the wonderful range of insights which can be drawn from an immeasurably rich history of philosophical thought. Concepts covered include courage, love, betrayal, ambition, cruelty, wisdom, passion, beauty, and death. This will be a wonderfully stimulating listen and act as an invaluable guide as to what is truly important in living life, whether facing success, failure, justice, wrong, love, loss or any of the other profound experience life throws out.

    Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
    Read by author Ian Dunt, this is your blunt guide to Brexit. Journalist Ian Dunt reveals how leaving the EU will hit law, politics, and business. Based on expert advice, this revised edition of his 2017 best seller reveals the true story of Britain's biggest issue, stripped of the gloss put on it by its cheerleaders. It is incisive and important, and growing more so by the day. Reviewers have praised the book's intelligence and brevity. What is special about this audiobook? It is fast-paced and informative - and it is based on extensive research with experts across law, trade, and politics. Michael Gove may think that the British public has had enough of experts, but Ian Dunt and Canbury Press disagree. Reviews: "Highly recommended" - Nick Cohen, Spectator "Excellent. A must-read. Harass every MP until they read Dunt's book" - AC Grayling "I would strongly recommend this excellent guide. Dunt has taken the extraordinary step of asking a set of experts what they think. I learnt a lot." - Philip Collins, Prospect "A definitive account of just how much confusion and ignorance has surrounded this entire debate." - James O'Brien, LBC "Compact and easily digestible. I would encourage anyone who is confused, fascinated or frustrated by Brexit to read this book. You will be far wiser by the end of it." - Caroline Lucas, co-leader, Green Party "Tory right-wingers who weep for the days when Britannia ruled the waves need not bother with this book. Nor will it be of interest to [left-wing] fantasists. Everyone else could learn a great deal." - James Coldwell, Fabian Review "If you are looking for a good guide to Brexit and what comes next, I can recommend Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now?" - Tom Watson, deputy leader, Labour Party ungekürzt.

    My Patients and Other Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
    A moving memoir of a life spent in the company of animals - a veterinarian sheds light on the universal experience of loving, healing, and losing our beloved pets, and the many ways they change our lives. The pursuit of a childhood dream has taken Suzy Fincham-Gray on a journey in veterinary medicine from pastoral farms on the English-Welsh border to emergency rooms in urban American animal hospitals, with thousands of stories collected along the way. In this unforgettable literary debut, she writes about some of the most emotionally challenging and rewarding cases of her career. Like many physicians, Fincham-Gray tends to see her patients at often life-or-death moments. While dramatic, these stories expand into deeper explorations of our complex, profound relationships with the animals in our lives. She describes the satisfaction of diagnosing and treating difficult diseases and the universal experience of loving a pet, and - inevitably - raises questions about their end-of-life care. We meet Grayling, an Irish wolfhound in need of critical treatment; we learn about the fulfillment of caring for a chronically ill pet from the story of Zeke, a silver-brown tabby cat who likes to eat just a little too much; and we fall in love with Monty and Emma, Fincham-Gray’s own adopted cat and dog, who change her life in joyful and unexpected ways. Fincham-Gray depicts the sleepless nights she spends waiting for her pager to call her to the clinic, the cutthroat competition among residents, and what it’s really like to care for patients who can’t advocate for themselves. Warm and humorous, Suzy Fincham-Gray is a rare breed - a clinician with an intimate, elegant literary style. She writes with the same tenderness she brings to her patients, whose needs she must meet with her mind, her hands, and her heart.  “Suzy Fincham-Gray gives readers rare insight into the making of a compassionate doctor. Her passion for both science and the animals ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzy Fincham-Gray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/006103/bk_rand_006103_sample.mp3.
