The Sixth Extinction: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 973min
Jason Conrad, a man with the wealth of Bill Gates, decides to preserve for posterity the seeds of as many animal and plant species as possible in a vast and remote underground facility, taking the world's legitimate seed banks and "frozen zoos" to a whole new level. Conrad's secret doomsday complex, though, is staffed by a combination of environmental experts and mercenaries who will stop at nothing to achieve their once-noble ambitions. After a fellow police officer is murdered and his award-winning German shepherd disappears, Montreal Sergeant-Detective Irina Drach and her young partner, Sergeant-Detective Hudson, connect the crime with a seed bank raid in Ardingly, England, and the kidnapping of a Triple Crown Thoroughbred named Zarathustra. Soon it becomes apparent that highly organized, ruthless abduction teams are raiding seed banks around the world, as well as scooping up the finest animal specimens from zoos, nature preserves, and the wild. Despite the global implications and ballooning media interest, however, Irina never forgets that her foremost aim is to solve the murder of a friend and fellow officer. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress - and a Plan to Stop It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
In an era of ballooning corporate campaign expenditures, unleashed by the Supreme Court in Citizens United, trust in our government is at an all time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress - and that our Republic has been lost. Using examples that resonate as powerfully on the Right as on the Left, Republic, Lost not only makes clear how the economy of influence defeats the will of the people, but offers cogent strategies to correct our course - from a constitutional convention to a Regent Presidency. A onetime friend of Barack Obama, Lessig, a professor of law at Harvard, is as critical of the president and the Democratic Party as he is of Republicans. Both have allowed the core institution of our democracy to become little more than a shill for the most powerful moneyed interests in our Republic. America may be divided, argues Lessig, but we must recognize that corruption is our common enemy, and we must find a way to fight against it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lawrence Lessig.

Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
In 1900, aged 22, Charles Stewart Rolls was the best known motorist in Britain, better known than Jeremy Clarkson today, having won the "Thousand Mile Trial" of that year, the event that launched motoring as a practical popular concept. Rolls followed his success in the Trial by racing in highly dangerous inter-city races in Europe. He drove the fastest time ever achieved in Britain, although this was never ratified. At the same time, Rolls ran a large car-sales and service showroom in London, employing 70 staff with space for 200 cars. In the span of six months, he persuaded the secretary of the Automobile Society of Great Britain and Ireland to join him, and then, shortly after, discovered Henry Royce with whom his name is now forever linked. This triumvirate of talented engineers and businessmen took Rolls-Royce Ltd. to the pinnacle of motor and aero engineering that the company has occupied ever since. Rolls helped create the new sport of hot-air ballooning and raced his balloon for his country. He then joined a select band of intrepid pioneers who risked all to prove the theory of powered flight. He was first to fly the English Channel both ways but weeks later perished at the Bournemouth Air Show. Engineer, salesman, aristocrat, pioneer, and businessman, Charles Rolls offers us a timely reminder of British invention, courage, and ingenuity more than 100 years ago. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Tales from the Great Green Lake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
Mole is a mole who is afflicted with a parasite, and he's close to losing his position as bass player for the Fresh Kickers, the most popular musical group in the world of the Great Green Lake. His body is ballooning, and something must change...or else. Three raccoons are making their way to the trading post in the Dark Island Terminal, inside an enormous sunken tree hollowed out by generations of resident animals in the lake world. They manage to survive a blizzard high in the Phinnae Mountains, but as they reach the warmer meadows below the snow line, they encounter a feral cat, who has one thing on its mind: catnip. The travelers offer the beast the desired herb, hoping it will be enough to save themselves. Beebe and Jake are two fish friends, and unlike all other fish, work as a team when hunting for food. They begin to brag about their intelligence, and laugh at other fish who are pulled to the upper world by giants with lures and fishing lines. One day, they find out they're not as smart as they thought. It's a typical voyage across the Great Green Lake, as described by a rat who has business at Half Lake Inn. The voyage starts out calm and serene, and the food is served, much to the deep satisfaction of all onboard, when the narrator notices a strange serpent deep in the bottom of Woodland Canyon. The serpent fish swims up from the deep and attacks the submarine ferry, causing terror and panic inside the cabin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Ravenscroft.

If you just keep doing what you’ve been doing? You keep getting heavier, looking in the mirror and see string bean arms and a narrow shoulder. I tried everything out there, just like you. And I realized that a diet is not just a sad 1200 calorie white fish and sweet potatoes, which ruins your metabolism and leaves you looking worse off than before.
