He is to be vetted by the Board of Directors, who want to be certain that there is nothing in Harris' past that will cause another scandal that has badly damaged the image of the institution. He asserts to the board that his married life is without blemish and he has never engaged in adulterous or clandestine affairs. His assertion is an outright lie since he, cunningly and secretly, engaged in a series of sexual liaisons in other cities in the course of his practice. To assure that these relationships remain secret, he decides to surreptitiously set about finding these former lovers to be certain that they will not reveal his double life and spoil his chances for the presidency. Of the four women with whom he had entered into these relationships he finds three, but cannot find the fourth. What he discovers is the startling truth about these affairs, and a bizarre twist of fate that reveals what happened to his fourth mistress. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The new initiate is sentenced to sign his or her soul to the script. Something surely not one of them would've done had they known beforehand this be the fee. So sneaky and snake like.

Eben Kruge : How "A Christmas Carol" Came to Be Written , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 265min
How wonderful it is for those who love Christmas to listen to stories that inspire the happiest of seasons. And no story is as compelling as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, penned in 1843. But what inspired the Carol? What triggered Dickens' imagination to write a story so unlike anything he had written before - a story about Christmas, wrought with flashbacks and flash-forwards and infused with the supernatural? In Eben Kruge, Richard Barlow Adams delivers a pause-resisting narrative that weaves fact and fiction for a penetrating look inside the life and psyche of Dickens when he and wife Catherine traveled to America in 1842 at the invitation of Washington Irving.Thirty years old and already world famous, he visits nearly two dozen cities, from Richmond to St. Louis to Quebec. At the end of his five-month trip, exhausted, overly vetted, and less than enamored with the new nation, he makes a final stop at the United States Military Academy north of New York City. For the first time facing writer's block, Dickens learns of the man Eben Kruge, an attorney who resides in Cornwall and whose "black turned to white" quite literally overnight. Declaring he must meet the man and know his story, he strikes out for Cornwall early the next morning, oblivious to what lies ahead and risking the secret he intended to take to his grave. ungekürzt.

Why Trust Science?
Do doctors really know what they are talking about when they tell us vaccines are safe? Should we take climate experts at their word when they warn us about the perils of global warming? Why should we trust science when our own politicians don't? In this landmark book, Naomi Oreskes offers a bold and compelling defense of science, revealing why the social character of scientific knowledge is its greatest strength--and the greatest reason we can trust it. Tracing the history and philosophy of science from the late nineteenth century to today, Oreskes explains that, contrary to popular belief, there is no single scientific method. Rather, the trustworthiness of scientific claims derives from the social process by which they are rigorously vetted. This process is not perfect--nothing ever is when humans are involved--but she draws vital lessons from cases where scientists got it wrong. Oreskes shows how consensus is a crucial indicator of when a scientific matter has been settled, and when the knowledge produced is likely to be trustworthy.- Shop: buecher
