The Inventors: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 657min
In the fall of 1970, at the start of eighth grade, Peter Selgin fell in love with the young teacher who'd arrived from Oxford wearing Frye boots, with long blond hair and a passion for his students that was as intense as it was rebellious. The son of an emotionally remote inventor, Peter was also a twin competing for the attention and affection of his parents. He had a burning need to feel special. The new teacher supplied that need. Together they spent hours in the teacher's carriage house discussing books, playing chess, drinking tea, and wrestling. They were inseparable until the teacher "resigned" from his job and left. Over the next 10 years, Peter and the teacher corresponded copiously and met occasionally, their last meeting ending in disaster. Only after the teacher died did Peter learn that he'd done all he could to evade his past, identifying himself first as an orphaned Rhodes Scholar and later as a Native American. As for Peter's father, the genius with the English accent who invented the first dollar-bill changing machine, he was the child of Italian Jews - something else Peter discovered only after his death. Paul Selgin and the teacher were both self-inventors, creatures of their own mythology, inscrutable men whose denials and deceptions betrayed the trust of the boy who looked up to them. The Inventors is the story of a man's search for his father and a boy's passionate relationship with his teacher and of how these two enigmas shaped that boy's journey into manhood, filling him with a sense of his own unique destiny. It is a story of promises kept and broken as the author uncovers the truth - about both men and about himself. For like them - like all of us - Peter Selgin, too, is his own inventor. ungekürzt.

His Teen Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
From the best-selling author of the coming-of-age novel Her Teen Dream comes this exciting and powerful new young-adult novel His Teen Dream. First in a series, it explores such contemporary teenage issues as romance, friendship, relocation, music, and dating violence. Lex Haskell, 16, moves to Lake Charmanie, California, with his mother and stepdad, while still trying to come to terms with his parents' divorce. On his first day at Charmanie Hills High School, Lex is stunned to see Taylor Clawson, his grade school girlfriend, whom he has not seen in six years. She is gorgeous. He is disappointed when she appears not to recognize him by name or appearance. Later, they do reconnect, sort of. Taylor has a jealous boyfriend, Blake Reed, a school football star. Lex senses that Blake more than Taylor wants to keep their friendship at a distance. Fortunately, Lex is distracted as he begins dating Greta Holden and joins a band. However, Lex soon begins to suspect that Taylor is being physically abused by her boyfriend. But can he prove it amidst her denials? And, if so, at what price to their friendship and whatever might have come of it? Taylor Clawson is bright, beautiful, and dating Blake Reed - one of the hottest guys at school. But she's also keeping a secret. He hits her, often without warning, when he's angry, jealous, or simply having a bad day. Her parents think he practically walks on water, as do most of her friends. Except, that is, for Lex Haskell, the boy she shared her first kiss with at age 10. She never expected to see him again after Lex and his family moved from San Bernardino. Now he had also ended up in Lake Charmanie and was even hotter as a teenager. But she would do well to keep her distance from him, for Blake hated to see her around other guys, even for friendship. She feared what he might do to her or Lex if they were they to become close again. Then there was the fact that Lex was seeing ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ann Richardson.

The Greatest Challenge of Them All: The Devil’s Brood Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 982min
Lord Drake Varisey, Marquess of Winchelsea, eldest son and heir of the Duke of Wolverstone, must foil a plot that threatens to shake the foundations of the realm, but the very last lady - nay, noblewoman - he needs assisting him is Lady Louisa Cynster, known throughout the ton as Lady Wild. For the past nine years, Louisa has suspected that Drake might well be the ideal husband for her, even though he's assiduous in avoiding her. But she's now 27, and enough is enough. She believes propinquity will reveal exactly what it is that lies between them, and what better opportunity to work closely with Drake than this latest mission, with which he patently needs her help? Unable to deny Louisa's abilities or the value of her assistance and powerless to curb her willfulness, Drake is forced to grit his teeth and acquiesce to her sticking by his side if only to ensure her safety. But all too soon, his true feelings for her surface sufficiently for her, perspicacious as she is, to see through his denials, which she then interprets as a challenge. Even while they gather information, tease out clues, increasingly desperately search for the missing gunpowder, and doggedly pursue the killer responsible for an ever-escalating tally of dead men, thrown together through the hours, he and she learn to trust and appreciate each other. And fed by constant exposure - and blatantly encouraged by her - their desires and hungers swell and grow.... As the barriers between them crumble, the attraction he has for so long restrained burgeons and balloons until, goaded by her near death, it erupts, and he seizes her - only to be seized in return. Linked irrevocably, and with their wills melded and merged by passion's fire, with time running out and the evil mastermind's deadline looming, together they focus their considerable talents and make one last push to learn the critical truths - to find the gunpowder and unmask the villain behind this far-reach ungekürzt.

Justice Making in a Globalized Wowld: Challenging and Bewildering Issues, Hörbuch, Digital, 383min
This program will expand your awareness of the way the world actually works and not simply our view of the world. Listening to these presentations will stretch your imagination, challenge your presumptions, and outline a dynamic way of living in this world. It provides a starting point for understanding how humanity fits in with the earth, with life in general and with the God who calls us to a simple, dynamic and soulful existence. The speaker gives an overview of the spiritual history of our species and challenges the listener to take seriously the notion that God is in truth the center of creation. Blending science, anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy and theology, this series gives insights into the profound changes taking place in our physical environment, our political establishments, our economic structures, and our relationships with one another and God. This is a moment in history in which patriarchal structures in the world and in the Church are dying and new ways of living are emerging. Our cultures of death need to be replaced with an affirmation of life. The amnesia we have of our past and our denials of what is now going on in this valley of tears needs to be addressed, so that we can remember our duties to love and care for one another. The speaker challenges the listener to turn away from an anthropological view of reality and accept that the Earth God created takes care of us and not vice versa. In this world of injustice and suffering he invites us to follow the paths of the mystics, to survive our dark nights and to bring both personal light and social justice into this world of conflict, pain and global exploitation. This program attempts to awaken the listener to the fullness of revelation found in creation, to move us from a fixation with death to an embrace of life in all of its facets. In this series, justice and spirituality merge together and are fused as one. Language: English. Narrator: Rev. Diarmuid O'Murchu.
