    Bill Russell has been hailed as the greatest team player of the 20th century.

In Russell Rules, he shares the insights, humor, memories, and, most important, the 11 essential "rules of success" that made him and his team perennial champions. In addition, he shares his personal thoughts on his legendary battles with Wilt Chamberlain, his views on how other players (Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) would have fared with him in head-to-head play, and stories from his days playing with such Celtics greats as Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, and coach Red Auerbach.

    Hunters out of Space, Hörbuch, Digital, 264min
    Hunters Out of Space is a science fiction novel by Joseph E. Kelleam.Excerpt from the book:"Both hands of the clock were pointing upward. And I was half-asleep, and half-dreaming. Remembering all the friends I had - most of them scattered to the four winds by now. And that best friend of all, Doctor Jack Odin! I wondered where he was and how he had fared since he disappeared into that dark cave in Texas. Suddenly I became aware of a flickering light above me. I looked up. I had thought that the lights were winking, but they were not. The room was lit by a reading lamp, and the ceiling was so shadowy that at first I could see nothing at all. Then I saw the light - or the ghost of a light - gleaming faintly upon - or through - the ceiling. It was the faintest yellow, neither a bull's eye nor a splotch. Instead, it seemed to be a tiny whirlpool of movement - the faintest nebula in miniature with spirals of light swiftly circling a central core." Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Scott.

    Crossdressing Stories: Qualities of a Banker: Crossdresser Stories, Book 34 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min, (USK 18)
    “That is very honest and sincere of you, too. I mean, others would have already started to give excuses and try to explain why they couldn’t meet up. But not you, Carl. You simply admitted the truth without hesitating. I wonder why you are doing that.” “The figures are all there. And figures don’t lie.” “Yes, you are right. Figures don’t lie at all. And the figures that I see here are really not good for you, Carl. You do know that, don’t you?” she asked as she peered into the sheets again. “Yes, I do, mam. Last quarter I couldn’t seal all the deals that I wanted to. I know I fell short. But I am optimistic that I would seal some good financing deals this month.” “I am sure you will, Carl. But even if you did so, they would not be able to impact how badly you fared in the last quarter. You know that, don’t you?” “Yes, I do.” “So while you may be able to seal the biggest deals in this quarter, in fact, even today, that would not stop me from assessing you poorly for last quarter.” ungekürzt.

    Imprudent King: A New Life of Philip II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1116min
    Philip II is not only the most famous king in Spanish history, but one of the most famous monarchs in English history: the man who married Mary Tudor and later launched the Spanish Armada against her sister Elizabeth I. This compelling biography of the most powerful European monarch of his day begins with his conception (1526) and ends with his ascent to Paradise (1603), two occurrences surprisingly well documented by contemporaries. Eminent historian Geoffrey Parker draws on four decades of research on Philip as well as a recent, extraordinary archival discovery - a trove of 3,000 documents in the vaults of the Hispanic Society of America in New York City, unread since crossing Philip's own desk more than four centuries ago. Many of them change significantly what we know about the king. The book examines Philip's long apprenticeship; his three principal interests (work, play, and religion); and the major political, military, and personal challenges he faced during his long reign. Parker offers fresh insights into the causes of Philip's leadership failures: was his empire simply too big to manage, or would a monarch with different talents and temperament have fared better? ungekürzt.

    Dorian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
    Henry Wotton, gay, drug addicted, and husband of Batface, the irrefutably aristocratic daughter of the Duke of This or That, is at the center of a clique dedicated to dissolution. His friend Baz Hallward, an artist, has discovered a young man who is the very epitome of male beauty - Dorian Gray. His installation Cathode Narcissus captures all of Dorian's allure, and, perhaps, something else. Certainly, after a night of debauchery that climaxes in a veritable conga line of buggery, Wotton and Hallward are caught in the hideous web of a retrovirus that becomes synonymous with the decade. Sixteen years later the Royal Broodmare, as Wotton has dubbed her, lies dying in a Parisian underpass. But what of Wotton and Hallward? How have they fared as stocks soar and T-cell counts plummet? And what of Dorian? How is it that he remains so youthful while all around him shrivel and die? Set against the AIDS epidemic of the '80s and '90s, Will Self's Dorian is a shameless reworking of our most significant myth of shamelessness, brilliantly evoking the decade in which it was fine to stare into the abyss, so long as you were wearing two pairs of Ray-Bans. ungekürzt.

    The Great Diamond Hoax of 1872: The History of 19th Century America's Most Notorious Fraud , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    It's only natural that people have always been attracted to get-rich-quick schemes, and in spite of their best efforts, almost everyone has been tempted at one time or another by a promise of riches that can be obtained with little or no work. The attraction is even stronger during periods when ordinary people have indeed struck it rich, particularly the California Gold Rush and the Yukon Gold Rush in the mid-19th century and late 19th century respectively. Having heard stories of men who went west with nothing and returned as millionaires, people were more inclined than ever before to believe that "there's gold (or silver or diamonds) in them thar hills." It would take decades of research to fully understand that most of the miners in the West did not strike it rich, and that those who fared best were mining companies and those who sold goods to miners. But regardless, fraudsters also understood that the best way to make a profit off the gold rush was to fleece the people trying to find the gold, and before long a large number of shysters hoped to make their own pot of riches in a far less honorable way. ungekürzt.

    Circling the Bases: Essays on the Challenges and Prospects of the Sports Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
    In Circling the Bases, leading sports economist Andrew Zimbalist continues his discussion and analysis of the major issues and challenges confronting the sports industry in the second decade of the 21st century. Presenting a general overview of the sports business at the college and professional levels, this volume places concerns such as the antitrust status of sports leagues, the stalled progress of gender equity in college sports, and the control of performance enhancing drugs in historical context. Zimbalist also provides a deeper understanding of how sports have fared and changed with the sharpening financial crisis and 2009 economic downturn from the morphing role of salary caps and revenue distribution and the rapid escalation of college coaches' compensation to the financing of sports facilities and the economic impact of hosting the Olympic Games. In Circling the Bases, Zimbalist continues to show how the business of sports is evolving and how the sports industry is becoming more closely linked with the corporate sector and thus more vulnerable to the vicissitudes of the U.S. and world economies. Zimbalist deftly shows how sports are facing the uncertainties of the future and what the implications are for sports fans, players, owners, and leagues. ungekürzt. Language: English.
