A Sensible Arrangement: Lone Star Brides, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
Marty Dandridge Olson is a widow looking for a way out of Texas. Widower Jake Wythe has secured a job as a bank manager in Denver, only to discover that the bank board wants him to be a married man. With Texas in his roots, he advertises for a Lone Star bride, and Marty answers the call. They both agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience. Marty works to carve out a new life in high-society Denver as Jake works to guide the bank through a collapsing economy. But when money goes missing at the bank and accounting discrepancies point to Jake, he must find a way to prove his innocence. Yet all he wants to do is go back to Texas and own his own ranch. Marty, on the other hand, owns a ranch - one she's never told her husband about. She hates Texas because it represents the losses in her life. But as the couple grows closer and love begins to bloom, Marty realizes she needs to tell Jake the truth. Can she come to terms with the past and her anger toward God in order to make room for love? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara McCulloh.

Force of Nature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
The gripping new novel from the author of the Sunday Times top 10 best seller, Waterstones Thriller of the Month, Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month, and Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club Choice The Dry. Five went out. Four came back.... Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them. Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side. The hike through the rugged landscape is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistle-blower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with. Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Shanahan.

She Who Is Without Sin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
The Two Ruths told the story of a lesbian couple trying to survive in 1950s rural upstate New York. Ruthie appears to be doing as her society dictates for a single farm woman: She’s running her family’s dairy farm after her father’s death and caring for her ailing mother. But a big spotlight is about to be turned on Ruthie’s truth. That light comes in the form of a woman named Ruth, who applies for the caretaker position Ruthie advertises. Over six months, the women fall in love and plunge into intimacy. In this sequel to The Two Ruths, we observe how this closeted lesbian couple moves through the 1960s and more tolerant 1970s, although for employment purposes, they must remain closeted. Their relationship grows and deepens as they face some very difficult times, still knowing they were meant to be together. With humor, courage, and this belief their relationship was destined to be, their life together is something to admire, whether gay or straight.An ordained minister, lawyer, and judge who was herself raised in rural New York and who came out as gay when she was an adult, Martha Emily Bellinger has crafted a lesbian love story like no other. Its focus on the progressive spiritual aspects of being brought to your beloved by God’s plan will speak not only to baby boomer lesbians but younger LGBTQ persons seeking to better understand those who paved the way. ungekürzt.

Do you want to learn the tricks of manipulation and protect yourself from them?When we think of manipulation, we often think of gurus of sectarian movements, unscrupulous businessmen, etc. Yet manipulation is far more widespread than it seems. It is a part of life and it is the very foundation of society. Manipulation is first and foremost a collective affair.

It is a part of life and it is the very foundation of society.Manipulation is first and foremost a collective affair. It is a cultural and historical fact: religions, science, and politics have always influenced men. At the time when religion was predominant, the clergy manipulated the masses. Today, the media influences millions of people.As an individual, the human being is fascinated by manipulation. Today, television series devoted to manipulation are very popular. In entertainment programs, manipulation also plays a part. In various movies, the actors spend their time manipulating each other and this influences our behavior as well. We love entertainment that is based on influence and manipulation. We love to observe how this or that maneuver influences a protagonist or the character of a movie.

Trapped in the Web: How I Liberated Myself from Internet Addiction, and How You Can Too , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min
Young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are addicted to the Internet. No surprise there. It’s easy for parents and teachers, politicians and pundits to brush off Internet addiction as a harmless, inevitable consequence of the digital age, a small price to pay for carrying the information super-highway around in our pockets. But what if I told you that young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are stuck in a feedback loop of digital sexual stimulation, addicted not just to the Internet but to pornography and social media? And what if I told you that the consequences of these addictions may be quite dire - ranging from depression, anxiety, and ADHD to sexual dysfunction and violence? And what if I told you that, as far as social media companies and pornography producers and anyone who advertises on the Internet is concerned, the feedback loop is exactly where we belong? This audiobook pulls listeners out of the matrix. Part manifesto, part autobiography, part self-help roadmap, Breaking the Feedback Loop is a concise, essential guide to porn and social media addiction written for young adults and anyone else suffering at the hands of the Internet."This is a story of awakening...from the trance induced by all the harmless-seeming distractions of the Internet (social media, news feeds, porn). Turner does a highly readable job of sharing precisely how he unleashed his productivity and creativity. For example, when he eliminated porn, 'There was an immediate domino effect.... I freed up mental resources. I was able to take challenging courses.... I processed information much more quickly using less energy. My memory was crisper, faster. I came up with creative insights more frequently. I attended social events and didn't feel weird, or awkward, or lonely, or creepy. I could carry on a conversation. I could make people laugh.' Best of all, anyone can follow the trail Turner blazes in his book. Why not make your own experiment?" (G ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kyle Tyler McKinney.

Metrics That Make a Difference
Your government warns that 10% of your neighbors have a deadly contagious virus. The producer of a diagnostic test advertises that 90% of its tests are correct for any population. The test indicates that you have the virus. This book's author claims your test has a 50% chance of being false, given your test's result. Who do you believe? This book gives you insights necessary to interpret metrics that make a difference in life's decisions.This book gives methods and software that are essential to analyze change and error. Change describes a phenomenon across time points. Error compares diagnoses with the truth. Other texts give insufficient attention to these topics. This book's novel ideas dispel popular misconceptions and replace previous methods. The author uses carefully designed graphics and high school mathematics to communicate easily with college students and advanced scientists. Applications include but are not limited to Remote Sensing, Land Change Science, and Geographic Information Science."A wide range of tools to aid understanding of land cover and its change has been used but scientific progress has sometimes been limited through misuse and misunderstanding. Professor Pontius seeks to rectify this situation by providing a book to accompany the researcher's toolbox. Metrics That Make a Difference addresses basic issues of relevance to a broad community in a mathematically friendly way and should greatly enhance the ability to elicit correct information. I wish this book existed while I was a grad student." - Giles Foody, Professor of Geographical Information Science, The University of Nottingham"Metrics That Make a Difference provides a comprehensive synthesis of over two decades of work during which Dr. Pontius researched, developed, and applied these metrics. The book meticulously and successfully guides the reader through the conceptual basis, computations, and proper interpretation of the many metrics derived for different types of variables. The book is not just a mathematical treatise but includes practical guidance to good data analysis and good science. Data scientists from many fields of endeavor will benefit substantially from Dr. Pontius' articulate review of traditionally used metrics and his presentation of the innovative and novel metrics he has developed. While reading this book, I had multiple 'aha' moments about metrics that I shouldn't be using and metrics that I should be using instead." - Stephen Stehman, Distinguished Teaching Professor, State University of New York- Shop: buecher
