Body of Stars
Now in paperback, from debut novelist Laura Maylene Walter, a bold and dazzling exploration of fate and female agency in a world very similar to our own-except that the markings on women's bodies reveal the future Perfect for fans of Leni Zumas's Red Clocks and Naomi Alderman's The Power, Body of Stars is a unique and timely exploration of girlhood, womanhood, and toxic masculinity. A piercing indictment of rape culture, it is an inventive and urgent read about what happens when women are objectified and stripped of choice-and what happens when they fight back. Celeste Morton has eagerly awaited her passage to adulthood. Like every girl, she was born with a set of childhood markings-the freckles, moles, and birthmarks on her body that foretell her future and that of those around her-and with puberty will come a new set of predictions that will solidify her fate. The possibilities are tantalizing enough to outweigh the worry that the future she dreams of won't be the one she's fated to have and the fear of her "changeling period": the time when women are nearly irresistible to men and the risk of abduction is rife. Celeste's beloved brother, Miles, is equally anticipating her transition to adulthood. As a skilled interpreter of the future, a field that typically excludes men, Miles considers Celeste his practice ground-and the only clue to what his own future will bring. But when Celeste changes, she learns a devastating secret about Miles's fate: a secret that could destroy her family, a secret she will do anything to keep. Yet Celeste isn't the only one keeping secrets, and when the lies of brother and sister collide, it leads to a tragedy that will irrevocably change Celeste's fate, set her on a path to fight against the inherent misogyny of fortune-telling, and urge her to create a future that is truly her own.- Shop: buecher

John Glenn: The Life and Legacy of the First American Astronaut to Orbit Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
“As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder.” (John Glenn)Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System.In fact, the Soviet Union had spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust. In 1960, when Eisenhower’s administration began planning and funding for the famous Apollo program that would land the first men on the Moon in 1969, the Soviet Union was already thinking further ahead, literally. In one of the worst kept secrets of the Space Race, the Soviet Union launched two probes, Korabl 4 and Korabl 5, toward Mars in October 1960.With the opening of a new decade, the Soviets reinforced their Space Race lead in a big way. On April 12, 1961, the world watched as the Soviets scored two major victories: they sent the first human being into space and made that man the first to orbit the Earth. Yuri Gagarin's success seemed to both solidify the Soviet's lead in the Space Race and underline the importance of scientific achievements in the race for geopolitical prestige. Even on the other side of the world, the United States could not deny the significance of the Vostok mission. President Kennedy graciously congratulated the Soviets, while privately conceding that it would be impossible for the United States to match Soviet space achievements for some time. At the same time, American policymakers also understood the depth of this latest defeat in the Space Race.On February 20, 1962, John Glenn orbited the Earth, nearly a year after Gagarin’s orbit, and he remains best known for that hi ungekürzt.

They learn people, understand their needs, and evolve to lead in a way that others desire to follow.We have all had the leaders who would yell or curse, or pitch a fit when things didn’t go their way.

Whatever level of leader you have had in the past, you can learn the skills to move yourself and your team into that “Super-leader” category. The skills taught in this audiobook will help you create a rhythm of success, communicate and influence like a pro, create clarity of purpose, turn your team into evangelists who love and promote your organization, build positive accountability so that others wand to do what you need to be done, and the solidify the transformation into that greater culture.

Acclaiming Old Testament Women, Hörbuch, Digital, 399min
Drawing upon her years of research, teaching, and the ever-fresh insights of her students, Sr. Nowell illuminates the stories of many of the women in the Old Testament. In listening to these riveting presentations, one priest said, "I felt like scales had fallen from my eyes and for the first time understood clearly the drama, depth, and bravery of the women that God used to carry out the plan of salvation. In retelling the stories of many of the women we know by name and others who remain anonymous, Sr. Nowell draws us into thinking about what God is doing in our lives and how we are pursuing and living out our own important missions. By articulating the stories of the women in the Old Testament, she helps all to better grapple with the pain, confusion, and struggles that make up an essential part of the human condition in every era. These stories address our feelings of alienation from the world and help solidify the story of our own spiritual realities. Though women were socially subordinate in the Old Testament, it is clear from these ancient tales that they were not regarded as inferior. The stories of the mothers, maids, midwives, prostitutes, and the family intrigues are all indispensable parts of the grand story of salvation. Foreign women, as well as the daughters of Israel, consistently emerge at pivotal moments to shape history. With cunning, courage and at times violence, the women that populate the Old Testament defend themselves, their families, and the nation of Israel itself. It is no wonder that Israel would be proclaimed as feminine, the bride of Yahweh. Sr. Nowell concludes the presentation with a fresh look at two symbolic female figures that carry a huge weight, Eve, the mother of the living, and the Wisdom Woman. The insights in this presentation reveal the insights into the creation of humanity and the way back to the Tree of Life that the Wisdom Woman promises in the Book of Proverbs. Language: English.

The Cap: How Larry Fleisher and David Stern Built the Modern NBA , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
Today the salary cap is an NBA institution, something fans take for granted as part of the fabric of the league or an obstacle to their favorite team’s chances to win a championship. In the early 1980s, however, a salary cap was not only novel but nonexistent. The Cap tells the fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of the deal between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association that created the salary cap in 1983, the first in all of sports, against the backdrop of a looming players’ strike on one side and threatened economic collapse on the other.Joshua Mendelsohn illustrates how the salary cap was more than just professional basketball’s economic foundation - it was a grand bargain, a compromise meant to end the chaos that had gripped the sport since the early 1960s. The NBA had spent decades in a vulnerable position financially and legally, unique in professional sports. It entered the 1980s badly battered, something no one knew better than a few legendary NBA figures: Larry Fleisher, general counsel and negotiator for the National Basketball Players Association; Larry O’Brien, the commissioner; and David Stern, who led negotiations for the NBA and would be named the commissioner a few months after the salary cap deal was reached.As a result, in 1983 the NBA and its players made a novel settlement. The players gave up infinite pay increases, but they gained a guaranteed piece of the league’s revenue and free agency to play where they wished - a combination that did not exist before in professional sports, but as a result, became standard for the NBA, NFL, and NHL as well.The Cap explores in detail not only the high-stakes negotiations in the early 1980s but all the twists and turns through the decades that led the parties to reach a salary cap compromise. It is a compelling story that involves notable players, colorful owners, visionary league and union officials, and a sport trying to solidify a bright future desp ungekürzt. Language: English.
