The Gray House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2207min

The Gray House is an astounding tale of how what others understand as liabilities can be leveraged into strengths. Bound to wheelchairs and dependent on prosthetic limbs, the physically disabled students living in the House are overlooked by the Outsides. Not that it matters to anyone living in the House, a hulking old structure that its residents know is alive. From the corridors and crawl spaces to the classrooms and dorms, the House is full of tribes, tinctures, scared teachers, and laws - all seen and understood through a prismatic array of teenagers' eyes. But student deaths and mounting pressure from the Outsides put the time-defying order of the House in danger. As the tribe leaders struggle to maintain power, they defer to the awesome power of the House, attempting to make it through days and nights that pass in ways that clocks and watches cannot record. ungekürzt.

Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min

Number one New York Times best sellerIn Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit. Nursing homes, preoccupied with safety, pin patients into railed beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering. Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified. Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mortal shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life - all the way to the very end. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Beyond the Finish , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min

“For the most part, my childhood was much like that of so many of my peers. I tried to get in trouble on occasion, but other than that I got to share some incredible experiences along the way. Never would you guess I spent my days confined to a wheelchair. Much of what I learned helped shape where I wanted to be when I grew up. Growing up Peasey was a blessing and makes me proud of how I’ve grown and continue to grow to this day.” Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, Kyle Pease had grown up supporting his athlete brothers Brent and Evan from the sidelines. While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn't dampen Kyle's passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions. From rolling his wheelchair up Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park to zipping down Colorado snow slopes, there was never a dull moment with the Pease brothers. Where there was a wheel, there was a way to adventure. Upon witnessing Brent complete his first Ironman competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: Can people in wheelchairs do Ironman? Brent never hesitated with his response. The answer was a resounding yes. Learning from others and through their own hard work, the brothers competed in Ironman competitions around the country and were ultimately awarded the opportunity to participate in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. In this memoir that interweaves both their perspectives, Kyle and Brent recount the experiences that shaped the strength, tenacity, and undying bond that has resonated between them since childhood. ungekürzt.

Don't Shake a Baby, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min

Spencer James' comedy career started very early on. At 11 years old, he was the fat kid always getting picked on by school bullies and being ignored by every girl around. An army brat who moved frequently throughout the US as well as internationally, he used stand-up to provide comic relief. His sharp tongue has entertained audiences from all over the country, ranging from small one-nighters to headlining clubs such as Snickers Comedy Club, Helium Comedy Club, Joker's Comedy Club, Lafflines, and Morty's Comedy Club, just to name a few. He is the 2014 winner of The World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the 2014 Burbank Comedy Festival, he was presented with Best of the Fest, and he was most recently seen on the Fox television show Laughs. A sort of "personal reveal", his comedy reflects a variety of influences - Bill Cosby's storytelling; Mitch Hedberg's one-liners; Richard Pryor's vulnerability. He admires Bill Hicks, Bill Burr, and Christopher Titus for the openness they all share. His comedy gives us his unique perspective on those things in life that he finds funny or weird - stuff like guys in wheelchairs buying ladders at Home Depot. He discusses his warped reactions to first-time relationships. No longer the fat kid, he continues to feel its influence on his life and uses it to fuel his comedy. Currently residing in Denver, CO, where beautiful women abound, he still finds it difficult to relate to them, and this provides an endless stream of comic opportunities. Mixing a cappella voice with his sharp wit, Spencer James is way more than just a dose of jokes. Language: English. Narrator: Spencer James.
