  The Animal School Bullies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min

  How does a classroom, a school, a community become bully-free? A powerful contribution can be made by a story that everyone can listen to. This is such a story. This wisdom tale tells the story of how an animal school was transformed from a place where some students were teased (by F.O.X), intimidated (by Little Bull), maligned (by "Princess" Peacock), ostracized (Cathy Crow), belittled (Master Worm), abused (Maurice Mole), and unfairly castigated by faculty (Hunky Hyena) to a bully-free environment. The tale will stimulate discussion and the participation of human students, including the bullied and the bystanders, toward the development of a bully free school. Animal School students are different from each other. They walk, fly, swim, burrow, hop, swoop, slither and tunnel. They grunt, squawk, bellow, chirp, splash, howl, and gobble. Yet, as with humans, all the students have the same basic needs: to belong, to be cared about, to be appreciated, to have their unique abilities developed to the fullest. Creative ideas (e.g., The Paradoxideal Totem Pole) and practical actions (e.g., The Covenant Circle) along with the involvement of "The Elders" (e.g., Wisdom Council) offer patterns for human schools to consider. The story "strikes a chord" with upper elementary and middle school students. Fascination with the animals permits students to become engaged in the issue without blaming and withdrawing. New understandings, attitudes, and relationships lead toward the goal of a bully-free school. It's a great listen! A discussion guide is available with quantity purchases. ungekürzt.

  Bressio , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min

  A plus-size New York City private investigator dives up to his chins into a sticky mess of drugs, murder, government paranoia, and cheese Danish. Tipping the scales at 240 pounds, Alphonse Joseph Bressio is a big man in New York's legal investigation biz, though he'd rather be doing almost anything else. If he had heeded his ample gut's feeling and refused a powerful lawyer's request to help out the paranoid ex-girlfriend of middle-age, drug-dealing loser L. Marvin Fleish, Bressio could have spared himself a headache bigger than his appetite and gambling problem combined. But his soft heart got the best of him. Now the portly PI is running afoul of local mobsters, overzealous federal narcs, and blue-blooded ex-government functionaries by looking too closely into strange doings at a downtown loft that the cops aren't talking about, despite the unusual number of corpses that seem to be connected to it. Bressio is starting to think it would have been less hazardous to his health and sanity if he had followed in his father's footsteps and become a Mafia enforcer. At least it would have made his mother happy. From Richard Ben Sapir, cocreator of The Destroyer series, comes a wild and woolly, tongue-in-cheek take on the hardboiled detective novel. Sapir's Bressio is a nonstop delight, frenetic and funny with a truly outrageous cast of anti-heroes, detestable villains, hard-luck bystanders, and arguably the most endearingly unforgettable protagonist ever to grace the volumes of noir crime fiction. ungekürzt.

  Deeply Disturbing Stories You've Probably Never Heard Of. The traditional "spooky" ghost stories that we have all heard about, and have become acquainted with since we were children, usually start and end in a fairly predictable fashion. But beyond these fairly traditional stories of paranormal happenings, there is a whole category of tales that exist that defy this standard bearer ghost flagship, with the sheer bizarre nature of the cast, characters, and plotlines involved. More than simply providing a good scare for those that are involved with such encounters, these instances of the bizarre truly leave them scratching their heads, and feeling incredibly perplexed, as to just what kind of strange reality they had just been brought into. In such strange cases, regular everyday people find themselves, quite literally, just bumping into the trappings and denizens of a hidden world they don't understand, and know nothing about. As mere, hapless bystanders, they found themselves in the process of beginning a strange journey, that they had neither wanted nor prepared for. These accounts of such seemingly random trips down the rabbit hole of reality will leave you speechless. Here is a preview of what's inside: Bizarre Horror: Arianna Grande and the 7th Portal of Hell Bizarre Horror: Bizarre Entities in the Philippines Bizarre Horror: Father Riesinger and the Army of Satan Bizarre Horror: Washington's Ghost and the Confederacy Bizarre Horror: Meddling Mother from Beyond the Grave Bizarre Horror: Sad Haunting at Ball State University And much, much more! ungekürzt.

  The Lies of Locke Lamora

  "Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch's first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining."-The Times (London) An orphan's life is harsh-and often short-in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld's most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game-or die trying. Praise for The Lies of Locke Lamora "Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized."-George R. R. Martin "Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven't read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again."-Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind "A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke's wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike."-The Seattle Times "A true genre bender, at home on almost any kind of fiction shelf . . . Lynch immediately establishes himself as a gifted and fearless storyteller, unafraid of comparisons to Silverberg and Jordan, not to mention David Liss and even Dickens."-Booklist (starred review) "High-octane fantasy . . . a great swashbuckling yarn of a novel."-Richard Morgan

  Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min

  Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel meets The Handmaid's Tale.Since September 11, 2001, the Western world has been preoccupied with Islam and its role in terrorism. Yet, public debate about the faith is polarized. One camp praises "the religion of peace", while the other claims all Muslims are terrorists. Canadian human rights activist Yasmine Mohammed believes both sides are dangerously wrong.In Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam, Yasmine speaks her truth as a woman born in the Western world yet raised in a fundamentalist Islamic home. Despite being a first-generation Canadian, she never felt at home in the West. And even though she attended Islamic schools and wore the hijab since age nine, Yasmine never fit in with her Muslim family, either. With one foot in each world, Yasmine is far enough removed from both to see them objectively, yet close enough to see them honestly.Part Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, part The Handmaid's Tale, Yasmine's memoir takes listeners into a world few Westerners are privy to. As a college educator for over 15 years, Yasmine's goal is to unveil the truth. Is FGM Islamic or cultural? Is the hijab forced or a choice? Is ISIS a representation of "true" Islam or a radical corruption? And why is there so much conflicting information? Like most insular communities, the Islamic world has both an "outside voice" and an "inside voice". It's all but impossible for bystanders to get a straight answer.Without telling anyone what to believe, Unveiled navigates the rhetoric and guides truth-seekers through media narratives, political correctness, and outright lies while encouraging listeners to come to their own conclusions. ungekürzt.

  Without a Trace: 1881-1968: How Can an Aircraft Simply Disappear? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min

  The volume features true stories of aircraft and its passengers or crew who disappeared into thin air.For many, aviation still brings with it an air of mystery, a century-long magic trick. Though most of us will board an aircraft at some point in our lives, we know little about how they work and the procedures surrounding their operations. It is that mystery that makes these losses, such as the vanishing of the Malaysia Airlines flight 370, so terrifying.Without a Trace series explores the most interesting of these disappearances: mysteries that have baffled investigators for years. The two audiobooks in the series span 150 years and explore mysteries from around the world. This is the first volume, beginning just before the golden age of aviation with a manned balloon swept over the English Channel and ending with a top-secret spy plane disappearing at the height of the Cold War. Each case is laid out in rich detail and presented chronologically, highlighting the historical context, official accident reports, and contemporary news surrounding each mystery. Occasionally tragic, frequently amusing, Without a Trace: 1881-1968 is unerringly accurate and informative.Where did they go?Sylvia Wrigley introduces the crews, innocent bystanders, and rescuers in this collection of true stories. Documenting the popular theories from each case, she uses her knowledge and experience as a pilot and an aviation journalist to demystify aviation jargon and narrow down each disappearance to the most likely explanations.This collection takes a hard look at the human failings of great aviators, explorers, and celebrities who have pushed the limits of flight and ended up at the heart of a mystery. The stories encompass airships, military jets, and commercial airlines - all of which have vanished without a trace. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlie Boswell.

  We're all a little odd beneath the surface. He's the most unlikely hero you'll ever meet, an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. But there's so much more to any of us than meets the eye, and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead, it's something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he's got a duty to do the right thing. That's the way Odd sees it, and that's why he's won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. A childhood friend of Odd's has disappeared. The worst is feared. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will gather new allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. Whether you're meeting Odd Thomas for the first time or he's already an old friend, you'll be led on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder, and delight, to a revelation that can change your life. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Aaron Baker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/000725/bk_rand_000725_sample.mp3.

  Shango and the Amazing Magical Calming Spell: An Aid to Help Parents with Their Children's Anger and Unhappiness Issues , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 15min

  Shango and the Amazing Magical Calming Spell is part of a series of books which aim to deal with a number of childhood issues, such as sleep, anxiety, and fears and phobias, using direct suggestion and repetition. This book deals specifically with anger issues. Temper tantrums, rages, fits, huffs, moods, etc. can be due to many different factors, from perfectly normal upsets to anxiety, depression, lack of sleep, or dietary imbalances (for example, too much sugar). Occasional tantrums are a normal part of childhood and you will know if these are normal or unpredictable and unusually frequent episodes. If they are persistent they can be exhausting for both parent and child, not to mention innocent bystanders. If the child is willing to cooperate, positive suggestion can help with the frequency and magnitude of outbursts and in time might eliminate episodes altogether. Shango books are based around the central character of Shango Tidbog. Shango and his friends, using magic spells, aims to help children overcome common issues such as sleeping, anxiety, phobia, anger, and sadness. Tidbogs live in both the real world and the Dream World, where they have the power to help their special friend (the child) and confer spells upon them given by Tidbog wizards, known as Wizbogs. All the Books have a common thread to improve positivity and happiness within the child. Therefore not only will the books alleviate or even nullify the child's specific issue, but in addition they aim to leave the child with a happier and more positive disposition. The books are not intended as traditional stories for children; the emphasis is on the book being a tool for the parent to help their children overcome the specific childhood issues that concern the child or parent. ungekürzt.

  We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min

  Winner of the 2013 National Book Prize from Grub Street, the 2013 Towson Prize for Literature, the Silver Medal for History from the 2012 ForeWord Book of the Year Awards, the 2013 Prakhin International Literary Foundation Award, and the 2013-14 Best Book Award from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies. Shortlisted for the 2014 Saroyan Prize. Ellen Cassedy's longing to recover the Yiddish she'd lost with her mother's death eventually led her to Lithuania, and its capital, Vilnius, once the "Jerusalem of the North." As she prepared for her journey, her uncle, sixty years after he'd left Lithuania in a boxcar, made a shocking disclosure about his wartime experience, and an elderly man from her ancestral town made an unsettling request. Gradually, what had begun as a personal journey broadened into a larger exploration of how the people of this country, Jews and non-Jews alike, are confronting their past in order to move forward into the future. How does a nation - how do successor generations, moral beings - overcome a bloody past? How do we judge the bystanders, collaborators, perpetrators, rescuers, and ourselves? These are the questions Cassedy confronts in We Are Here, one woman's exploration of Lithuania's Jewish history combined with a personal exploration of her own family's place in it. Digging through archives with the help of a local whose motives are puzzling to her; interviewing natives, including an old man who wants to "speak to a Jew" before he dies; discovering the complications encountered by a country that endured both Nazi and Soviet occupation - Cassedy finds that it's not just the facts of history that matter, but what we choose to do with them. ungekürzt.
