    The Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    An astonishing civil rights story from Newbery Honor winner and National Book Award finalist Steve Sheinkin. On July 17, 1944, a massive explosion rocked the segregated Navy base at Port Chicago, California, killing more than 300 sailors who were at the docks, critically injuring off-duty men in their bunks, and shattering windows up to a mile away. On August 9th, 244 men refused to go back to work until unsafe and unfair conditions at the docks were addressed. When the dust settled, fifty were charged with mutiny, facing decades in jail and even execution. This is a fascinating story of the prejudice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II, and a nuanced look at those who gave their lives in service of a country where they lacked the most basic rights. ungekürzt.

    The Next Better Place: A Father and Son on the Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
    At the age of 11, Michael Keith left a stable life with his mother and sisters and set off to cross the country with his irresponsible hobo of a father - a real bum. The memoir, narrated without sentimentality by this funny, world-wise little boy, describes their life on the road - the characters they meet hitching rides, their adventures with bed bugs in Salvation Army bunks, the joys of finally encountering a decent meal, and the periods when Michael's father works odd jobs to make enough money for them to move on. Despite their sad, dysfunctional life, real love exists between them. The Next Better Place explores the thin line between wanderlust and compulsion, between running away and arriving, and leaves us with the understanding that the journey is often more powerful than the destination. ungekürzt.

    Indonesia, Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 783min
    An entertaining and thought-provoking portrait of Indonesia: a rich, dynamic, and often maddening nation awash with contradictions. Jakarta tweets more than any other city on earth, but 80 million Indonesians live without electricity and many of its communities still share in ritual sacrifices. Declaring independence in 1945, Indonesia said it would "work out the details of the transfer of power etc. as soon as possible." With over 300 ethnic groups spread across 13,500 islands, the world's fourth most populous nation has been working on that "etc." ever since. Bewitched by Indonesia for twenty-five years, Elizabeth Pisani recently traveled 26,000 miles around the archipelago in search of the links that bind this impossibly disparate nation. Fearless and funny, Pisani shares her deck space with pigs and cows, bunks down in a sulfurous volcano, and takes tea with a corpse. Along the way, she observes Big Men with child brides, debates corruption and cannibalism, and ponders "sticky" traditions that cannot be erased. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jan Cramer.

    The Love of an Unknown Soldier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min
    'The manuscript was submitted to me by a young officer of the R.F.A., home from the front on leave. He explained that he had brought with him from France a bundle of papers which he had found in one of the dug-outs of an abandoned gun position. He discovered the papers secreted in a dark corner wedged in between a post and the wall of one of the bunks. There was no indication of the writer’s name or of his unit, and the name of the girl he had loved was never recorded. On thinking the matter over, the officer began to feel more and more strongly that they ought to be given back to that woman. Reading the tattered manuscript I was from the first impressed with its literary value; but as I read on I became deeply absorbed in its poignant human importance.'

    Pandemic Girl: A Real Life Dystopian Gender Transformation Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min
    It’s a fate worse than death for Justin and his fellow inmates.... When a shocking mutation of the super-virulent coronavirus starts changing healthy, adult men into fully grown women, America goes into a panic and locks the country down, but not before 90 percent of the male population has been transformed! Justin Watters is just an average guy who was one of the lucky 10 percent that managed to avoid the strange new plague which experts dubbed FEMVI-1, and the newly-established FEMPOL government agency pays him handsomely to do his part to repopulate the country. But when a jilted ex knowingly exposes him to the virus, everything changes for him....Justin is captured and taken to one of FEMPOL’s containment and re-education “Girl Camps,” where he’s assigned a new name and handled by cruel guards while his distressing transformation slowly progresses. Every day, he and his fellow inmates are required to sit through femininity classes and taught FEMPOL’s “proper methods of being women” to help their eventual re-integration into society. The only bright spot is his beautiful fellow inmate Marissa, who comforts him in the bunks at night and helps him adjust to his new body and life. But as their forbidden love blossoms in the harsh conditions of the camp, Marissa and “Justine” make a sinister discovery about FEMPOL’s real plans for them and all the other American men inflicted by FEMVI-1 that’s worse than anything they could have ever imagined. Can they find a way to escape the camp and flee for the safety of the border to live together in peace, or will they fail and have every memory of their old lives and selves eliminated by the ultimate FEMPOL re-education training program? ungekürzt.

    Rich Dad Advisors: Sales Dogs: You Don't Have to Be an Attack Dog to Explode Your Income , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    The number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales equals income. Yet many fail financially, not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don't know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don't think that it is important to know how to sell. Sales Dogs was written as the very first of the Rich Dad Poor Dad "how-to" advisor series to teach in a very fun and impactful way how to overcome the fears, the myths, and the obstacles to selling your products, services, or yourself. It teaches a simple, time-proven process of selling that will generate great income in most any business. The listener will learn to master the five most important selling skills, how to overcome any objection, manage a territory, and much more. The audiobook quickly de-bunks the idea that you have to be an overly aggressive "attack dog" to be successful. It uses the metaphor of "man's best friend" to say that a great sales person is a like a loyal, persistent, and lovable canine. It stipulates that there are five different "breeds" or personalities of Sales Dogs that can each make a lot of money by playing to its strength. You will learn how to identify, maximize, and train to that strength, and also how to teach others on your team to do the same. Great for those who are new to sales, those uncomfortable with selling, and those who want to get better fast. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Blair Singer.
