    Now and Zen: S.A.S.S. (Students Across the Seven Seas) Series, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
    Nori Tanaka is thrilled to be studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan, but it isn't exactly what she had imagined. She expected tranquil gardens and swoopy-roofed houses, not concrete and neon. And everyone assumes that, with her traditional Japanese features, she's a native instead of the naïve Japanese-American that she really is. Even Erik, a gorgeous German student, mistakes Nori for Japanese, and treats her like a personal tour guide. Nori is sure that he'll like her for who she is once he gets to know her, so what harm can come of temporarily pretending to be Japanese? It doesn't take long to realize that she has a lot to learn about Japan, and about herself, before she can pass for a native. But after exploring the karaoke clubs in Tokyo, the peaceful temples in Kyoto, and the tranquil heights of Mt. Fuji, Nori knows she has a good chance of finding the hidden Japanese spirit and Zen mindset within herself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jill Apple.

    In Defense of Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
    Originally published in 1922, this book considers topics that remain of vital interest to today’s readers, including monogamy and polygamy, the double standard, sexual harassment, and declining marriage rates. Written in Mencken’s characteristic no-nonsense manner, In Defense of Women crackles with controversy and caustic wit. “The truth is that neither sex, without some fertilization by the complementary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor. Man, without a saving touch of woman in him, is too doltish, too naïve and romantic, too easily deluded and lulled to sleep by his imagination to be anything above a cavalryman, a theologian, or a bank director. And woman, without some trace of that divine innocence which is masculine, is too harshly the realist for those vast projections of the fancy which lie at the heart of what we call genius. Here, as elsewhere in the universe, the best effects are obtained by a mingling of elements” (H. L. Mencken). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Williams.

    Who Are You?: With One Click She Found Her Perfect Man. And He Found His Perfect Victim. A True Story of the Ultimate Deception. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    A dramatic and terrifying memoir of a 'catfish' scenario - when a woman meets a man online but nothing is what it seems. Twenty-five-year-old Megan Henley put her five-year-old daughter to bed one evening and switched on her laptop. A Facebook friend request seemed to be genuine. There were a few common friends and very similar interests, so Megan accepted. With that one simple act, she changed her life forever. In her words: 'Looking back on it, it was as if I had opened my front door to a stranger, as if I had thrown away every precaution I'd ever put in place, as if I had freely given access to my whole world - all because of some naïve belief that it was "just" a friend request on a social media site.' Megan is tricked into paranoia, marriage and ultimately betrayal by the man she loved and trusted, but nothing is as it seems. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Kirman.

    The Innocence Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
    They're young, brilliant, and naïve enough to believe they can make a difference. For three graduate students, the exclusive innocence seminar at the nation's most esteemed journalism school is supposed to teach them how to free the falsely accused from prison. But the most important lesson they'll learn is how to stay alive... The first day of class for Ian Joyce and Sarah Gold starts like any other, until fellow student Jake Havens pulls a wrinkled envelope from his backpack. Inside is a blood-stained scrap of shirt from a boy murdered fourteen years ago and an anonymous note taking credit for the killing. But the alleged murderer is already dead. Suddenly, the class has a new assignment: find the real killer. Soon, the bodies and questions begin to pile up. Why are innocent men being framed? Who's been getting away with murder? Drawn into a web of deceit and corruption, the students realize they, too, are being hunted... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Chancer.

    Second Debt: Indebted, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
    I tried to play a game. I tried to wield deceit as perfectly as the Hawks. But when I thought I was winning, I wasn't. Jethro isn't what he seems - he's the master of duplicity. However, I refuse to let him annihilate me further. Nila Weaver has grown from naïve seamstress to full-blown fighter. Every humdrum object is her arsenal, and sex...sex is her greatest weapon of all. She's paid the first debt. She'll probably pay more. But she has no intention of letting the Hawks win. Jethro Hawk has found more than a worthy adversary in Nila - he's found the woman who could destroy him. There's a fine line between hatred and love, and an even finer path between fear and respect. The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kylie C.

    On Lacaton & Vassal
    Dieses Buch versammelt erstmals alle Artikel, Essays und Interviews, die Ilka und Andreas Ruby über das Werk der Pritzker-Preisträger Lacaton & Vassal geschrieben haben. Angefangen mit ihrem ersten Essay "Naïve Architecture" aus dem Jahr 2002 haben die Texte von Ilka und Andreas Ruby maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, eine kritische Sichtweise auf das Werk des gefeierten französischen Architekten-Duos zu entwickeln. Als Lacaton & Vassal Mitte der 1990er Jahre international bekannt wurden, (miss)verstanden Architekturkritiker ihre Arbeit oft als einen Versuch, einfach möglichst "billig" zu bauen. Die Autoren dieses Buches argumentieren hingegen, dass die Häuser von Lacaton & Vassal tatsächlich einen Luxus an Raum erzeugten, den die Architekten dank der Einsparungen, die sie durch die Verwendung preiswerter Materialien und Bauweisen erzielten, ihren Bewohnern schenken konnten. Damit formulierten Lacaton & Vassal eine radikale Kritik am modernistischen Existenzminimum, das die Größe einer Wohnung als eine rein ökonomische Funktion des Budgets definiert hatte. Indem sie insbesondere den Diskurs des sozialen Wohnungsbaus von dieser vulgären Arithmetik befreiten, haben Lacaton & Vassal gezeigt, dass räumliche Großzügigkeit in der Architektur nicht primär vom Budget eines Gebäudes abhängt, sondern vom Respekt der Architekten vor dem Leben seiner Nutzer. In der Anmutung einer literarischen Taschenausgabe ergänzt das Buch die Texte durch eine sorgfältig ausgewählte Abbildungsreihe und ein Verzeichnis der in den Texten erwähnten Projekte.
