    Zugzwang , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
    Ronan Bennett's new masterpiece of literary suspense unfolds in a city on the verge of revolution. On a blustery April day, a respected St. Petersburg newspaper editor is murdered in front of a shocked crowd. Five days later, Dr. Otto Spethmann, the celebrated psychoanalyst, receives a visit from the police. There has been another murder in the city, and somehow he is implicated. The doctor is mystified and deeply worried - as much for his young, spirited daughter as for himself. Meanwhile, he finds himself preoccupied by two new patients: Anna Petrovna, a society beauty plagued with nightmares, with whom he is inappropriately falling in love, and the troubled genius Rozental, a brilliant but fragile chess master on the verge of a complete breakdown. As Dr. Spethmann is drawn deeper into the murderous intrigue, he finds that he, his patients, and his daughter may all be pawns in a game larger in scope than anything he could have imagined. Zugzwang is a masterfully written novel packed with cliffhangers, romance, unforgettable characters, and a plot that keeps listeners guessing to the very end. ungekürzt.

    Alan Bennett narrates five much-loved stories by Kenneth Grahame, Lewis Carroll and AA Milne. The Wind in the Willows is the classic story featuring Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad (of Toad Hall). In Alice in Wonderland, when Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole, she embarks on a series of adventures with some of the most weird and wonderful characters ever encountered. In Through the Looking Glass, Alice sees another world in the looking glass and wishes she could go there. In stories from Winnie-the-Pooh, Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place, Eeyore loses a tail, Piglet meets a Heffalump, Eeyore has a birthday, and an 'expotition' to the North Pole is mounted. The House at Pooh Corner finds Pooh and Piglet building a house for Eeyore whilst Tigger comes to the forest and has breakfast. Piglet nearly meets the Heffalump again, Pooh invents a new game, and Owl moves house. Portraying each character in his own inimitable fashion, Alan Bennett's distinctive narrations of these much-loved stories have become classics in their own right. Language: English.

    Going to Pot: Why the Rush to Legalize Marijuana Is Harming America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min
    William J. Bennett, former director of the National Drug Control policy under President George H.W. Bush and best-selling author of The Book of Virtues, and co-author Robert White provide strong societal and scientific arguments against the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana, once considered worthy of condemnation, has in recent years become a "medicine", legalized fully in four states, with others expected to follow. But the dangers are clear. According to Bennett's research, more Americans are admitted to treatment facilities for marijuana use than for any other illegal drug. Studies have shown a link between marijuana use and abnormal brain structure and development. From William Bennett comes a call-to-action for the 46 states that know better than to support full legalization, and a voice of reason for millions who have jumped on the legalization bandwagon because they haven't had access to the facts.

    The Avocado Tree: Your Fruit to Financial Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
    Do you want to retire early? Is financial freedom important to you-along with health and happiness? Yes? Then this is a must-listen. Following the successful release of The Avocado Tree in South Africa, Tony Bennett brings his story and blueprint for success to the international market. Bennett's fresh and funny memoir, The Avocado Tree, follows him from a working-class childhood to the fulfillment of his personal dream: a comfortable early retirement at age 50. This wasn't the result of chance or a lucky win on the horses: Tony planned for it, and so can you. The Avocado Tree is brimming with charm and sound sense. Tony compares the coincidental nurturing and abundant fruit borne by the family avocado tree, to his financial-and family-success. Ever practical and always generous (with a dash of dodgy humour and a splash of wine), he unveils his 'Theories': 17 maxims to follow for financial stability, health and happiness, and for the satisfactions of a life well lived. A must listen! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Dabbs. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/010221/bk_acx0_010221_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Communicating the Future
    We are facing an unprecedented environmental crisis. How can we communicate and act more effectively to make the political and economic changes required to survive and even thrive within the life-support capacities of our planet?This is the question at the heart of W. Lance Bennett's much-anticipated book. Bennett challenges readers to consider how best to approach the environmental crisis by changing how we think about the relationships between environment, economy, and democracy. He introduces a framework that citizens, practitioners, and scholars can use to evaluate common but unproductive communication that blocks thinking about change; develop more effective ways to define and approach problems; and design communication processes to engage diverse publics and organizations in developing understandings, goals, and political strategies. Until advocates develop economic programs with built-in environmental solutions, they will continue to lose policy fights. Putting "intersectional" communication into action requires acknowledging that communication is not only an exchange of messages, but an organizational process. Communicating the Future is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as general readers concerned about the environmental crisis.

    Hell on Ice: The Saga of the Jeannette , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 880min
    The thrilling adventure of one crew's harrowing journey back from the Earth's most foreboding frozen hell In the 1870s, newspaperman James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald drummed up excitement and publicity for his paper through highly publicized missions of exploration. In 1879, Bennett's idea for a voyage was his most audacious to date: the North Pole. To do this, he hired a team of naval veterans in addition to a smattering of civilians with specialized knowledge in meteorology, whaling, and naturalism. The men on board the Jeannette set off in September of 1879. This would be the last time anyone saw them for two years. The product of devoted research into personal histories, memoirs, and classified congressional investigation records, Hell on Ice is a remarkable document: a novelization of history, turning the horrible ordeal of the brave men of the Jeannette into a riveting narrative. Written with a weathered seaman's familiarity, the story brilliantly captures a most perilous voyage from the perspective of the ship's chief engineer. The men of the Jeannette endure months trapped in an Arctic ice pack, and then begin a desperate trek for home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hoye.

Blast if he didn't hate complications, and Sharyah with her alluring brown eyes and silky blond hair was a walking, talking personification of complication.
