    The Spider #2, November 1933: The Wheel of Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 274min
    Mysterious death, suicide, and madness took uncanny toll of New York's most prominent citizens. Only the Spider sensed the presence of the criminal genius whose tentacles were strangling the city - and the Spider was next on the crime monster's death list! Here is the second and final Spider novel penned by the mysterious R.T.M. Scott. To this day, over 80 years later, the mystery of Scott's departure remains unsolved. R.T.M. Scott was a famous byline in the 1920s and '30s, the author of a series of hardcover novels featuring sophisticated detective Aurelius Smith and his Hindu aide, Langa Doonh. They were the template for Richard Wentworth and Ram Singh. But there were two R.T.M. Scotts, father and son. And the son worked for Popular Publications under the name Maitland Scott! So, which Scott initiated the Spider series? One of the more intriguing theories posits that R.T.M. Scott Senior penned The Spider Strikes and, having kicked off the series in grand style, handed it off to his son, who was 24 at that time. Whatever the case was, neither man was likely up to the job of writing a monthly pulp novel. Enter Norvell Page. The Wheel of Death is a crime story set in New York City and revolves around a strange after-hours nightclub catering to the elite. Donning the disguise of a hardened gangster, Dick Wentworth, alias the Spider, penetrates this place, and allies himself with Molly Dennis, a young woman whose father sits on Death Row, awaiting execution for a crime he may not have committed. What is the secret of Grogan's Restaurant? Can he unravel a web of blackmail without revealing that Richard Wentworth is secretly the Spider? Nick Santa Maria reads this exciting suspense story of murder, mayhem, and mystery that perfectly evokes 1933 Manhattan. Originally published in The Spider magazine, November 1933. ungekürzt.

    Up Against It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1005min
    Geoff and his friends live in Phocaea, a distant asteroid colony on the Solar System's frontier. They're your basic high-spirited young adults, enjoying such pastimes as hacking matter compilers to produce dancing skeletons that prance through the low-gee communal areas, using their rocket-bikes to salvage methane ice shrapnel that flies away when the colony brings in a big (and vital) rock of the stuff, and figuring out how to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance motes that are the million eyes of 'Stroiders, a reality-TV show whose Earthside producers have paid handsomely for the privilege of spying on every detail of the Phocaeans' lives. Life isn't as good as it seems, though. A mysterious act of sabotage kills Geoff's brother, Carl, and puts the entire colony at risk. And in short order, we discover that the whole thing may have been cooked up by the Martian mafia, as a means of executing a coup and turning Phocaea into a client-state. As if that wasn't bad enough, there's a rogue AI that was spawned during the industrial emergency and slipped through the distracted safeguards, and a giant X-factor in the form of the Viridians, a transhumanist cult that lives in Phocaea's bowels. In addition to Geoff, our story revolves around Jane, the colony's resource manager - a bureaucrat engineer in charge of keeping the plumbing running on an artificial island of humanity poised on the knife-edge of hard vacuum and unforgiving space. She's more than a century old, and good at her job, but she is torn between the technical demands of the colony and the political realities of her situation, in which the fishbowl effect of 'Stroiders is compounded by a reputation economy that turns every person into a beauty-contest competitor. Her maneuverings to keep politics and engineering in harmony are the heart of the book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

    From Glory to Glory: Finding Real Significance in an Image-Driven World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    Knowing who you are is the secret to just about everything. So much of what we do and say revolves around how we see ourselves, and how we see ourselves depends on how we perceive the God. The connection might seem elusive at first, but living in victory over sin is intricately tied to our identity. When the serpent tempted Adam and Eve to be like God, was that not about their identity? All of the sin, death, and destruction in our world are rooted in an identity issue.The gospel, we must understand, is an identity message. God does not just provide for us a future destiny but also a current identity. Life in this world is never ideal, but only those who know of God's goodness and understand their significance in his eyes can break free from the commonality and corruption that plagues our planet.From Glory to Glory is a life-changing 40-day devotional journey that is broken into four primary phases. Each phase emphasizes a different aspect of our quest to find security in Christ and all that goes along with it.It is imperative that we lay hold of our identity in Christ because genuinely walking with the Lord will put us out of step with the world around us - even those we are trying to help. If we do not know who we are, we will find ourselves living for the approval of others and neglecting God's good plans and purposes as a result!Even though the glory of God's children is hidden to most of this world, the reality of who we become in Christ seems almost too good to be true. It is true, though, and through the eye of faith, we can discover significance, wholeness, and freedom like never before as the Almighty Creator clothes us with is glory. No earthly significance can compare. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Benson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/128440/bk_acx0_128440_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Leonardo's Brain: Understanding da Vinci's Creative Genius , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
    Bestselling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy (yes), and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius. Shlain shows that no other person in human history has excelled in so many different areas as Da Vinci and he peels back the layers to explore the how and the why. Leonardo's Brain uses Da Vinci as a starting point for an exploration of human creativity. With his lucid style, and his remarkable ability to discern connections in a wide range of fields, Shlain brings the listener into the world of history's greatest mind. Shlain asserts that Leonardo's genius came from a unique creative ability that allowed him to understand and excel in a wide range of fields. From here Shlain jumps off and discusses the history and current research on human creativity that revolves around the right brain-left brain split. Most of us now know that there is a split between the right and the left side of the brain; the left primarily controls our rational mind, the right our emotions. Shlain discusses the cutting edge research that is refining our understanding of the split brain model and deepening our knowledge about the nature of human creativity. There is more integration between the left and right brains than previously thought. Shlain argues that Leonardo was unique in human history for the degree of integration that he showed. He also speculates on whether or not the qualities of Leonardo's brain and his creativity presage the future evolution of man. Leonardo's Brain integrates art, history, science, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy uniting all of the ideas that Leonard Shlain studied and wrote about since the publication of the influential and bestselling Art and Physics in 1991. ungekürzt.

    Redemption of a Wolf , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min
    Mountain Lion shifter Trina Chapman is having a rough year. Trying to find her legs over the loss of her Clan, she has bought a local bar and just needs to keep her focus until it can pay the bills. That would probably be easier to do if she didn’t have a rogue werewolf sniffing around and showing up in unexpected places. She knows she’s being hunted, and her first look at Kade’s inner wolf should have her running for the hills, but for some reason, the more she learns about him, the more interesting he becomes. She’d been resigned to tackle life alone, but he’s dependable in unexpected ways. And when she starts learning how thoughtful and protective and caring the bad-boy outlaw werewolf really is, she starts thinking he just might be a good match for a shifter like her. That is, until she realizes she’s not the only one being hunted.Kade is good and done with people. Newly pledged to the Blackwood Crow Clan, he’s used to doing things on his own. Independence can get a rogue shifter into big trouble quick though, and he’s fighting fires his new Clan doesn’t know about. His life revolves around three things: keeping his step brothers safe, changing into a monstrous wolf for days at a time...and Trina. One look at her and he’s done for, but she deserves much better than a man who can’t even keep her safe from himself. His wolf is out of control, and Kade is spiraling down a path he can’t come back from. But maybe...just maybe...the girl that he loves enough to stay away from could be the key to his redemption.Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets.

    Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations, Vol. 2 - Place
    Volume 2 of the Kinship series revolves around the question ofplace-based relations:To what extent does crafting a deeper connection with the Earths bioregions reinvigorate a sense of kinship with the place-based beings, systems, and communities that mutually shape one another?We live in an astounding world of relations. We share these ties that bind with our fellow humansand we share these relations with nonhuman beings as well. From the bacterium swimming in your belly to the trees exhaling the breath you breathe, this community of life is our kinand, for many cultures around the world, being human is based upon this extended sense of kinship.Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations is a lively series that explores our deep interconnections with the living world. The five Kinship volumesPlanet, Place, Partners, Persons, Practiceoffer essays, interviews, poetry, and stories of solidarity, highlighting the interdependence that exists between humans and nonhuman beings. More than 70 contributorsincluding Robin Wall Kimmerer, Richard Powers, David Abram, J. Drew Lanham, and Sharon Blackieinvite readers into cosmologies, narratives, and everyday interactions that embrace a more-than-human world as worthy of our response and responsibility.Given the place-based circumstances of human evolution and culture, global consciousness may be too broad a scale of care. Place, Volume 2 of the Kinship series, addresses the bioregional, multispecies communities and landscapes within which we dwell. The essayists and poets in this volume take us around the world to a variety of distinctive placesfrom ethnobiologist Gary Paul Nabhans beloved and beleaguered sacred U.S.-Mexico borderlands, to Pacific islander and poet Craig Santos Perezs ancestral shores, to writer Lisa María Maderas vibrant flow of kinship in the equatorial Andes expressed in Pacha Mamas constitutional rights in Ecuador. As Chippewa scholar-activist Melissa Nelson observes about kinning with place in her conversation with John Hausdoerffer: Whether a desert mesa, a forested mountain, a windswept plain, or a crowded citythose places also participate in this serious play with raven cries, northern winds, car traffic, or coyote howls. This volume reveals the ways in which playing in, tending to, and caring for place wraps us into a world of kinship.

    Do you want a complete guide to become a successful leader? Becoming a leader is about more than just being appointed a leadership position within a company or on a team. Becoming a leader is about denying the outdated “boss” mentality and choosing to step into a role that is much bigger and much more powerful. That means denying the “I’m at the top and you answer to me” approach and choosing one that revolves around the question of “How can we serve each other?”When you step into a service-based leadership, you effectively make every single person on your team far more valuable to your greater goal by allowing them to tap into the entirety of their own ability to contribute to your collective success. Rather than discouraging them and repressing them, leading to reluctance to contribute and a generally unhealthy team environment, you can encourage them and cultivate their commitment to your team.In Technical Guide for Leadership you are going to discover just how you can do that.We will explore crucial tips and techniques that you can implement into your leadership style so that you can maintain your authority while also respecting and nurturing your team. In the end, your team will exceed the power of any team lead by a boss mentality approach, and you will be able to truly become a great leader.Some of the techniques you will discover in this guide include:How to identify the basic characteristics of a leader, and of success, so that you have a clear vision to aspire toward.The importance of coaching and how you can coach your entire team toward success.Why your mind is your superpower as a leader and how you can amplify its power.What decision-making looks like from the position of a great leader.How you can influence the decisions of your team so that they always choose in favor of the highest good of your collective goals.Why positive and critical thinking ski ungekürzt.
