    Basketball: Playing as Well as You Practice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
    Do you play confidently and balls out in meaningless pickup games but then play like a bum in the real games and tryouts? You’ve been working on your game. You know what you’re capable of; you’ve done it over and over again in practice, scrimmages, and games against your friends. Then game time comes, and...nothing. Your performance does not reflect the same person who put in all that time. You’re not doing any of your moves. You don’t assert yourself. You're invisible on the court. Knowing the skills you have, this is really frustrating. Is it mental? Is it physical? Is it something else? It’s a little bit of all those and more. This workbook, Playing as Well as You Practice, will move you past it. Upon completion of this workbook, you will: Play with full confidence in the biggest moments Never have another deer-in-the-headlights moment on the basketball court Erase all performance-anxiety problems and conquer the cues that cause it Step on the court with an aggressive mindset that keeps you on the offensive, never nervous or hesitant Know the exact mental cues you’ll use to lock yourself into a mindset that’s congruent with your highest level of performance ungekürzt.

    After Dachau , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 319min
    Daniel Quinn, well known for Ishmael - a life-changing book for readers the world over - once again turns the tables and creates an otherworld that is very like our own, yet fascinating beyond words. Imagine that Nazi Germany was the first to develop an atomic bomb and the Allies surrendered. America was never bombed, occupied, or even invaded, but was nonetheless forced to recognize Nazi world dominance. The Nazis continued to press their campaign to rid the planet of "mongrel races" until eventually the world - from Capetown to Tokyo - was populated by only white faces. Two thousand years in the future, people don't remember, or much care, about this distant past. The reality is that to be human is to be caucasian, and what came before was literally ancient history and has nothing to do with the living. Now imagine that reincarnation is real, that souls migrate over time from one living creature to another, and that a soul that once animated an American black woman living at the time of World War II now animates an Aryan in Quinn's new world, and that due to a traumatic accident, memories of this earlier incarnation assert themselves. Compared by readers and critics alike to 1984 and Brave New World, After Dachau is a new dystopian classic with much to say about our own time, and the dynamics of human history. ungekürzt.

    The Further Education of Mike Carter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
    Mike Carter has been a lecturer at Streetbridge College of Further Education for 30 years. He has been the leader of the pack, scourge of college management, seducer of students, colleagues, and wives of colleagues. But now, approaching 60, things are going awry. The younger lecturers are no longer in awe of him, his powers of seduction are declining, and those whom he has offended over the years, sensing his diminishing influence, are seeking to exact revenge. Meanwhile, Marcia Martell, the young, newly appointed principal, is determined to drag the institution into the 21st century in the face of foot-dragging by the older members of her management team and opposition from the lecturers' union. She issues a memorandum to staff imposing a new code of dress and behavior: This is seized by Mike Carter as an opportunity to re-assert his waning influence by leading the fight against her. However, the politics of the workplace are muddied by events in the personal lives of the protagonists, and by antagonisms and jealousies between individuals, generations, and competing interest groups. When sexual tension is added to the mix, the outcome is unpredictable.The author began working in Colleges of FE in 1968. He was a lecturer, an adult education organizer, head of department, and finally a vice principal before retiring in 1995. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Michael Brugh.

    Say You'll Remember Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 684min
    Doesn't matter who did it. Not anymore. I did the time. It's over. When Drix was convicted of a crime - one he didn't commit - he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the Second Chance Program, the governor's newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated, and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while. Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means. When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life. But sometimes love can breach all barriers. Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves - Drix to confront the truth of the robbery and Elle to assert her independence - and each other to finally get what they deserve. ungekürzt.

    Property: A Collection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 850min
    The first ever story collection from the inimitable Lionel Shriver. This landmark publication, the first collection of stories from a master of the form, explores the idea of 'property' in both senses of the word: real estate and stuff. These sharp, brilliantly imaginative pieces illustrate how our possessions act as proxies for ourselves and how tussles over ownership articulate the power dynamics of our relationships. In Shriver’s world, we may possess people and objects and places, but in turn they possess us. In the stunning novella 'The Standing Chandelier', a woman with a history of attracting other women’s antagonism creates a deeply personal wedding present for her best friend and his wife-to-be.  In 'Domestic Terrorism', a 30-something son refuses to leave home, resulting in a stand-off that renders him a millennial cause célèbre.  In 'The ChapStick', a middle-aged man subjugated by service to his elderly father discovers that the last place you should finally assert yourself is airport security.  In 'Vermin', an artistic Brooklyn couple’s purchase of a ramshackle house destroys their once passionate relationship.  In 'The Subletter', two women, both foreign conflict junkies, fight over claim to a territory that doesn’t belong to either. This immensely listenable collection showcases the biting insight that has made Lionel Shriver one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lionel Shriver.

    Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art
    The first book to examine multicultural visual art in Germany, discussing more than thirty contemporary artists and arguing for a cosmopolitan Germanness.With Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art, Peter Chametzky presents a view of visual culture in Germany that leaves behind the usual suspects--those artists who dominate discussions of contemporary German art, including Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, and Rosemarie Trockel--and instead turns to those artists not as well known outside Germany, including Maziar Moradi, Hito Steyerl, and Tanya Ury. In this first book-length examination of Germany's multicultural art scene, Chametzky explores the work of more than thirty German artists who are (among other ethnicities) Turkish, Jewish, Arab, Asian, Iranian, Sinti and Roma, Balkan, and Afro-German.With a title that echoes Peter Gay's 1978 collection of essays, Freud, Jews and Other Germans, this book, like Gay's, rejects the idea of "us" and "them" in German culture. Discussing artworks in a variety of media that both critique and expand notions of identity and community, Chametzky offers a counternarrative to the fiction of an exclusively white, Christian German culture, arguing for a cosmopolitan Germanness. He considers works that deploy critical, confrontational, and playful uses of language, especially German and Turkish; that assert the presence of "foreign bodies" among the German body politic; that grapple with food as a cultural marker; that engage with mass media; and that depict and inhabit spaces imbued with the element of time. American discussions of German contemporary art have largely ignored the emergence of non-ethnic Germans as some of Germany's most important visual artists. Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art fills this gap.

    The Four Pivots (eBook, ePUB)
    "Reading this courageous book feels like the beginning of a social and personal awakening...I can't stop thinking about it."-Brené Brown, PhD, author of Atlas of the Heart For readers of Emergent Strategy and Dare to Lead, an activist's roadmap to long-term social justice impact through four simple shifts. We need a fundamental shift in our values--a pivot in how we think, act, work, and connect. Despite what we've been told, the most critical mainspring of social change isn't coalition building or problem analysis. It's healing: deep, whole, and systemic, inside and out. Here, Shawn Ginwright, PhD, breaks down the common myths of social movements--a set of deeply ingrained beliefs that actually hold us back from healing and achieving sustainable systemic change. He shows us why these frames don't work, proposing instead four revolutionary pivots for better activism and collective leadership: Awareness: from lens to mirror Connection: from transactional to transformative relationships Vision: from problem-fixing to possibility-creating Presence: from hustle to flow Supplemented with reflections, prompts, cutting-edge research, and the author's own insights and lived experience as an African American social scientist, professor, and movement builder, The Four Pivots helps us uncover our obstruction points. It shows us how to discover new lenses and boldly assert our need for connection, transformation, trust, wholeness, and healing. It gives us permission to create a better future--to acknowledge that a broken system has been predefining our dreams and limiting what we allow ourselves to imagine, but that it doesn't have to be that way at all. Are you ready to pivot?
