Nature Sketch: A Poem About the Twelve Apostles in Victoria, Australia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 16min
Nature Sketch: A Poem About the Twelve Apostles in Victoria, Australia is composed to serenade the "silent sentries", also known as the Twelve Apostles, which is the name for the intriguing limestone landforms located along Great Ocean Road. The poem adopts the style of descriptive sketches by notable Romantic poets, such as William Wordsworth and John Keats. It invites listeners to relish the gems found within the narrative about nature's work of art, and develop a love and appreciation for the beauty of nature. It also has a theme about the struggles of nature's last bastions through trials and tribulations that speak of bravado, resilience, and triumph. The poem thus serves as an allegory, which anyone can relate to and draw inspiration from, so that they will ultimately find hope in overcoming challenges in their own lives. ungekürzt.

How to F*ck a Woman: An Insider's Guide to Love and Relationships , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 364min, (USK 18)
Brazen, uproarious, slyly prescriptive, and always entertaining, Ali Adler is a sex and relationship guru who knows what women want. As a lesbian, she has both the equipment and the experience to give straight men (and the women who love them) advice about how to get more sex and do it well. In her day job as a comedy writer and TV producer, Ali is sometimes the only woman in a room full of fellow potty-mouthed comedy writers; in these bastions of bad sex jokes she became legendary for offering frank reality checks, and for translating female sexuality into words a man could understand. In her book How to F*ck a Woman - which turns out to be about 20 percent explicit instruction, 80 percent relationship advice, and 100 percent hilarious - she brings together essential advice for men (even the ones who insist they could write this book) and the women who want their lovers to truly understand them, both mind and body. ungekürzt.

Lean Sales and Marketing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
When Ftse 100 Ceo's were polled and asked the question, "Are your sales people calling on the right customers, at the right time, with the right offer?" 99.3% responded, "I don't know." Which shouldn't surprise. Sales and Marketing are still the last bastions of protected turf, limited management scrutiny and lack of accountability. Unfortunately, the important lessons learned and the gains in effectiveness and efficiency derived from lean manufacturing have not been successfully translated to the Sales and Marketing environments. And, it's understandable. Sales involves people doing business with people, not people doing activities with machines and processes. Sales is perceived to be more of an art form than a science. Yet, ironically, Sales is virtually a pure science and, as such, is both measurable and predictable. If we are correct, the disciplines of Lean can easily be applied to the Sales and Marketing functions resulting in significant increases in effectiveness and bottom line results. ungekürzt.

Dreams to Remember: Otis Redding, Stax Records, and the Transformation of Southern Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 646min
When he died suddenly at the age of 26, Otis Redding (1941-1967) had already become the conscience of a new kind of music. Sure, Berry Gordy might have built the first black-owned music empire at Motown, but Redding was doing something as historic: mainstreaming black music within the whitest bastions of the post-Confederate south. As a result, the Redding story - still largely untold - is one of great conquest but, sadly, grand tragedy. Now, in this transformative work, Mark Ribowsky contextualizes Redding's life within the larger cultural movements of his era, whisking us from the "sinful" clubs of Macon to the trendsetting studios in Memphis and, finally, to the pulsating stage of the Monterey Music Festival where, in a single set, Redding immortalized himself as "soul legend". What emerges in Dreams to Remember is not only a triumph of music history, but also a reclamation of a visionary who would come to define an entire era. ungekürzt. Language: English.
