The Art World: A Personal Essay That Reaches No Conclusions: Lockdown Essay, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
Author, critic, and traveler, Marina Vaizey reflects on her experiences of the international art world, in a career spanning six decades, including eighteen years as the chief art critic at the Sunday Times.I can offer a lecture, very short, on the art world post war until now. Here it is. More.More artists, more money, more collectors, more collections, more scholarship, more publications, more museums, more galleries, more countries involved publicly world wide: Just - for good and ill - more.The expansion of museums and galleries is almost overwhelming. Just a few at random: The Pompidou in Paris, 1977; the Louvre almost doubled its public spaces with a huge reclamation of existing spaces within the palace; and its branches, eg the Louvre-Lens; Tate Modern (2000) which nearly doubled with the Blavatnik building, Tate Britain with the Clore; V & A Dundee, and the V &A East project; the Getty in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim in New York (1959) and in Bilbao (19970). The new museums throughout the Emirates, the new museum of modern art in Capetown, the Zeitz MOCAA, 2017; throughout West Germany enormous new collections have been made post war (for interesting psychological reasons) and often with museums to match, the Ludwig say in Cologne, and David Chipperfield’s masterly rejuvenation of the Neues Museum on Museum Island (2009) with the adjacent James-Simon-Galerie (2019). The last is typical too of what museums now offer, for the newest addition houses amenities such as the café and the shop rather than art galleries. Austria has its modern museum island in Vienna, based on the Ludwig collections, and almost any established museum has expanded and refurbished: the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, the Ashmolean in Oxford. This is just a tiny glimpses; every city world wide has been at it, not to mention finding musuems and galleries in the most remote locations. The list is endless, and the roles of museums, not to mention art and artists, co ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laurie Dennison.

Investing in Gold and Silver Bullion: The Ultimate Safe Haven Investments , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
This is a Beginner's Basic Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver. As the dollar loses value, many investors are turning to precious metals, converting at least part of their investment portfolios from cash, equities, and other assets into silver and gold in an attempt to preserve the value of their capital. This is why the price of gold has more than doubled since 2007. Similar to gold, silver has long been considered a safe investment, especially to hedge against inflation. Like gold, silver is a precious metal and has been used historically as a currency. It is still relatively rare, and its unique properties have allowed it to maintain its value over many thousands of years. This book will help you gain a better understanding of gold and silver bullion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Hendricks.

The Twentieth Maine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
From rockbound coast, from farm and logging camp came the men of the Twentieth Maine, a volunteer regiment in the Civil War. It was at Little Round Top that the Twentieth Maine, with Joshua Chamberlain in command, performed one of the miracles of the Civil War and saved the left flank of the Union battle line. Outnumbered two to one, their front doubled back to the shape of a horseshoe. And with ammunition gone, the men fixed bayonets, charged, and not only broke up the Confederate attack but also took 400 prisoners. At Appomattox, the Twentieth Maine was one of the regiments chosen to receive the surrender of General Lee's infantry, and Joshua Chamberlain, the Bowdoin professor who had become a general, was appointed to command the Union troops at the ceremony. ungekürzt.

The Best of Car Talk, Throw Your Keys Down a Storm Drain, November 28, 2015, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on The Best of Car Talk, here's a first. Ephraim went to the dealer to complain that his Audi's gas mileage was too good. Apparently, said gas mileage nearly doubled when Ephraim's finacée began driving the Audi, so there must be something wrong with the car, right? As Tom and Ray would say, "Au contraire, piston puss!" Elsewhere, Rachel's mechanic warned her of "boulder intrusion" if she doesn’t replace a broken CV boot; Pam's Toyota is dripping molten lead from the dashboard; and Al and his brother are arguing over whether it's possible to park a truck in a position from which it's impossible to move. Also, how one listener is using Car Talk to help teach English. Yes, really. All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: November 28, 2015] Language: English.

Gage, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
Gage was just a small town boy who never did anything wrong. Until he did. He took being bullied into his own hands and played a prank which got him into some trouble. Probation and a summer of hard work to pay off the courts gave him something other than retribution. It gave him a body the girls in his school started to look at and notice. He went from geek to bad boy in three short months as the stories started to fly on Facebook. His friend requests doubled and tripled, but as his popularity soared so did his crush on the most popular girl to walk the halls of his high school, Bliss McCarthy. After a night at a Halloween party, a post on Facebook, and his probation on the line, Gage must prove his innocence to clear his name...but will it be too late? ungekürzt. Language: English.
