    The Uses of Enchantment: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 616min
    A few weeks later, an unharmed Mary reappears as suddenly and mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming to have little memory of what happened to her. Her mother, concerned that Mary has somehow been sullied by the experience, sends her to therapy with a psychologist named Dr. Hammer. Mary turns out to be a cagey and difficult patient. Dr. Hammer begins to suspect she concocted her tale of abduction when he discovers its parallels with a 17th-century narrative of a girl who was abducted by Indians and later caused her rescuer to be hanged as a witch. Eager to further his professional reputation, Hammer decides to write a book about Mary's faked abduction, a project her mother sanctions because she'd rather her daughter be a liar than a rape victim. Fifteen years later, Mary returns to Boston for her mother's funeral. Her abduction, real or imagined, has tainted many lives, including her own. When she finds a suggestive letter sent to her mother, she suspects her mother planned a reconciliation before her death. Thus begins a quest that requires Mary to revisit the people and places in her past. The Uses of Enchantment weaves a spell in which the power of a young woman's sexuality, and her desire to wield it, has a devastating effect on all involved. The riveting cat-and-mouse power games between doctor and patient, and between abductor and abductee, are gradually, dreamily revealed, along with the truth about what actually happened in 1985. Heidi Julavits is in full command of her considerable gifts, and has crafted a dazzling narrative sure to garner her further acclaim as one of the best novelists working today. ungekürzt.

    Not Black and White: From the Very Windy City to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
    Chicago-style politics is front and center. When a sitting president has his roots in this sullied political heritage, it makes for news and leads to speculation. Not Black and White is a fictional account of many of the events that led to the meteoric rise of a local charismatic street politician to become America's first African American president and the downfall and imprisonment of two consecutive governors of the state of Illinois, along with several of their most trusted advisors and cohorts. This story puts the listener inside the campaign offices and smoke-filled back rooms where political deals are made. It depicts the rise and fall of a Syrian immigrant who made millions by pretending he had billions while charming his way into the highest halls of wealth and power. The perspective of a local attorney/businessman who found himself in a front-row seat to politics as usual in the City That Works is reflected throughout the story. The cast of characters may appear familiar to anyone who's ever read a headline or watched cable news and talk shows across the country. In 1994, a freak traffic accident occurred, killing a family of six young children when their van burst into flames after being struck by a semi-trailer truck driven by a man unqualified to drive such a vehicle. The truck driver, a victim himself, had bribed an employee of the Illinois secretary of state's office in order to procure his commercial driver's license. The tragic accident and resulting exposé of corruption and scandal that followed changed forever the course of American history. Inspired by true events, Not Black and White leaves it to the listener to interpret fact from fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Verner.

    Solution for How to End World Hunger Forever Without Increasing Arable Land Supplies nor Vertical Farming Facilities, How the Earth Can Feed over 700 Billion Humans, and What Causes World Hunger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    This essay sheds light on utmost the solution for how to end world hunger forever without increasing arable land supplies nor vertical farming facilities, and also elucidates how the earth can easily feed over 700 billion humans being. Moreover, what causes world hunger in the digital era is delineated in this essay.The solution for permanently ending world hunger forever is simpler today than anytime in history, even without increasing vertical farm facilities nor arable land supplies. While building more vertical farm facilities and increasing arable land supplies can indeed help assuage the brunt of world hunger issues, it is not panacea for ending world hunger in perpetuity. 80-90 percent of all food products are relegated to a dumpster due to becoming sullied, oxidized, and spoiled. Since food products innately succumb to having an infinitesimal shelf life, this ultimately culminates in a preponderance of all food products being preordained to be pitched and relegated to a dumpster before they are ever consumed. Part of the issue of food wastage lies in the fact that food products bear lofty prices in spite of having ephemeral shelf lives. If regulations, such as compliance costs and regulatory costs, did not exist then there would be significantly less food wastage since the markup for food products would not be as lofty, especially if the agricultural supply chain member could operate more efficaciously with significantly reduced costs of good sold on the food products.To the dismay of the customer, income is something that not everyone always has readily available to relinquish for food. Even if the price of produce were reduced by 80 percent you still cannot earn a sale from customers who are broke, impoverished, and destitute if they lack disposable income.The utmost efficacious way to end world hunger entails simply planting fruit trees everywhere. If this were rendered permissible then everyone would have free access to produce an ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathan Huddleston.

    The Apocalypse Crusade 2: War of the Undead Day 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
    Quite simply, what could go wrong did go wrong. Given the choice between assuming leadership of a situation that is pure chaos, where the National Guard is forced into a position of going to war against a trapped and possibly infected citizenry, the President chooses to punt. He knows what enforcing a quarantined zone will require: the massacre of tens of thousands of terrified people demanding to get out, and there is no way he's going to have his name and legacy sullied. Suddenly a states' rights champion, he leaves the situation under the control of the Governor of New York, but not before hampering the men on the lines with rules of engagement that are meant to sooth journalists instead of creating a possibility of victory. Tasked with the impossible, General Collins, commander of the 42nd Infantry Division is in a meeting with the Governor when the perimeter of the quarantine zone is ruptured. When his command post is overrun he's grinding his teeth, sitting in front of the President as he smiles for the cameras, makes jokes and demands answers. And in the dead of night when 100,000 infected persons slug it out toe-to-toe with the fractured remains of his division, he is the only reinforcement available to shoulder a rifle. Inside the Zone, the survivors of Day One are dying by the score as Dr. Lee and her friends, hopelessly fight their way from one end of the Zone to the other, desperate to escape. But there is no way out except through death at the ripping teeth of the undead. Striving to put that horrible moment off for as long as possible, she finds herself trapped alongside Anna Holloway and Lieutenant - they are three scorpions in a bottle...a bottle surrounded by countless undead. ungekürzt.

    Mardon: Pirate Lords Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
    Greed and vengeance are powerful tools, but not as strong as a forbidden kiss that neither of them can seem to forget.With his crazy, old grandmother on board The Falcon, Mardon sets sail with his crew. They are following a clue that will hopefully lead them to where Mardon's late father buried treasure. When they dock at Great Yarmouth, it isn't treasure they find. Instead, a mysterious nun in a tavern helps them decipher the code that points them to the Canterbury Cathedral. A nun in a tavern isn't an everyday occurrence. Odder still is the fact that Mardon can't shake the feeling he knows her, or that he is attracted to her.Lady Emmaline de la Croix's reputation has been ruined by her late French husband.

It was a kiss so passionate, that she's never been able to forget it.As a widow, Emmaline goes back to England and is put in a nunnery by her family.

    Hood's Brigade: The History and Legacy of the Legendary Texas Brigade During the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
    It could scarcely be said that any [of the officers in Longstreet's corps]...save one had by this date displayed qualities that would dispose anyone to expect a career of eminence. The exception was Hood. Anyone who had followed the operations of the Army after Gaines's Mill would have said that of all the officers under Longstreet, the most likely to be a great soldier was Hood. (Douglas Southall Freeman, Lee's Lieutenants) The history of war is replete with examples of men who distinguished themselves in battle only to disgrace themselves after being promoted to commands above their capabilities. During the American Civil War, that man was John Bell Hood. Hood was one of the most tenacious generals in the Confederacy, for better and worse. This quality, which made him one of the best brigade and division commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia also made him ineffective when he was promoted to higher commands, forever marring his career at Atlanta and Franklin. Although Hood may have sullied his reputation, the brigade that bore his name suffered no such fate. Organized in Richmond, Virginia on October 22, 1861, Hood's Texas Brigade was one of the most formidable fighting forces of the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) during the American Civil War. At times undisciplined, the men who comprised this brigade were a group of fearless and determined volunteers-turned-soldiers. Over the course of the Civil War, the Texas Brigade engaged over 4,000 men and was comprised of the only Texans to fight with General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater. With the exception of Chancellorsville, these men fought in every major battle in the East, and they also participated in significant battles in the Western Theater. Of the more than 4,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of the war, approximately 600 remained to surrender at Appomattox. The brigade suffered a horrific casualty rate of 61 p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/087145/bk_acx0_087145_sample.mp3.
