    Ditch Rider: A Neil Hamel Mystery, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
    As Neil settles into her new house in Albuquerque’s North Valley, she befriends 13-year-old Cheyanne Morales, who lives in a nearby trailer with her mother and her younger half-brother. Cheyanne’s teenage angst is complicated by the pressures that gang culture imposes on her and her peers. Neil gets a harrowing glimpse of these pressures when a 15-year-old is shot to death not far from Neil’s new home. The cops suspect a rival gang member, but late one night, a battered Cheyanne shows up at Neil’s front door to confess that she was the shooter. The authorities are reluctant to accept Cheyanne’s story—as a minor she’d get only a slap on the wrist - and Neil is dubious too, but she agrees to represent her young friend. With Cheyanne in custody, Neil uncovers chilling evidence that the girl’s family and friends intend to take justice into their own hands. Only Neil and her lover, the Kid, can prevent another tragedy from playing out along the ditches of her new neighborhood. With its intricate, timely plot, deft characterizations, and artful evocations of place, Ditch Rider confirms Judith Van Gieson’s reputation as one of the foremost writers of Southwestern suspense. ungekürzt.

    Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 527min
    In the blockbuster tradition of Freakonomics, a Harvard economist and a Princeton psychology professor team up to offer a surprising and empowering new way to look at everyday life, presenting a paradigm-challenging examination of how scarcity - and our flawed responses to it - shapes our lives, our society, and our culture. Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mindset produced by scarcity. Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Petkoff.

    Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of American Abundance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    The discovery of the Americas around AD 1500 was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on Earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all. In this work, acclaimed environmental historian Donald Worster takes a global view in his examination of the ways in which complex issues of worldwide abundance and scarcity have shaped American society and behavior over three centuries. Looking at the limits nature imposes on human ambitions, he questions whether America today is in the midst of a shift from a culture of abundance to a culture of limits - and whether American consumption has become reliant on the Global South. Worster engages with key political, economic, and environmental thinkers while presenting his own interpretation of the roles of capitalism and government in issues of wealth, abundance, and scarcity. Acknowledging the Earth's agency throughout human history, Shrinking the Earth offers a compelling explanation of how we have arrived where we are and a hopeful way forward on a planet that is no longer as large as it once was. ungekürzt.

    The Rime of the Ancient Mariner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    This is the poet's final version of this poem. Coleridge is a master of mellifluous poetic phrasing - hypnotic and incantatory - and uses it deftly to weave a spellbinding tale of sin and redemption.How a ship was driven by storms towards the South Pole; and how then she made her course to the tropical Latitude of the Great Pacific Ocean; and of the strange things that happened; and in what manner the Ancient Mariner came back to his own country.An ancient Mariner meets three youths attending a wedding feast, and detains one. The Wedding-Guest is spell-bound by the old seafaring man, and constrained to hear his tale. The Mariner tells how the ship sailed southward with a good wind and fair weather, till it was drawn by a storm toward the South Pole. In this land of ice, and of fearful sounds, no living thing was to be seen. Until a great sea-bird, an albatross, came through the snow-fog, and was received with great joy and hospitality. And happily, the albatross proved to be a bird of good omen. It followed the ship as it returned northward through fog and floating ice. Then, the ancient Mariner inhospitably kills the pious bird of good omen. There follows a tale in which the Mariner relates the incredible story of supernatural, dreamlike, horrific events where a divine nature spirit force imposes punishment and penance on him for the hellish act of killing the albatross. ungekürzt.

    The Right to Privacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    The Right to Privacy is an article that appeared in the Harvard Law Review on December 15, 1890, that is considered the first document that argued for the inherent right to privacy, defining the right as one of the natural rights, the “right to be left alone”.The authorship is credited to both Louis Brandeis and his law partner, Samuel Warren, but the article was apparently written mostly by Brandeis. The article was inspired by the coverage of intimate details of private lives made possible by the use of instantaneous photography and the mass circulation of newspapers.The core argument is an extension of the fundamental right of the individual to full protection in person and property and notes that the principle is continually reconfigured in light of political, social, and economic change, in much the same way that protection against bodily injury came to include fear of injury in addition to actual injury, and that property grew to add intangible property to tangible property.The article examines libel, slander, and intellectual property law as possible protections and finds them inadequate, proceeding to examine case law and attempt to define privacy itself and finally imposes limitations on the protection.While short by contemporary standards, "The Right to Privacy" has been called one of the most influential essays in the history of American law and is especially relevant today as new technologies and business models seek ever more personal data and threats of terror invoke escalating surveillance tactics. ungekürzt.

    Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    The Supreme Court endorses terrorists' rights, flag burning, and importing foreign law. Is that in the Constitution? You're right: it's not. But these days the Constitution is no restraint on our out-of-control Supreme Court. The Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones purely on its own arbitrary whims. Even though liberals like John Kerry are repeatedly defeated at the polls, the majority on the allegedly "conservative" Supreme Court reflects their views and wields absolute power. There's a word for this: tyranny. In Men in Black, radio talk-show host and legal scholar Mark R. Levin dissects the judicial tyranny that is robbing us of our freedoms and stuffing the ballot box in favor of liberal policies. If you've ever wondered why, no matter who holds political power, American society always seems to drift to the left, Mark Levin has the answer: the black-robed justices of the Supreme Court, subverting democracy in favor of their own liberal agenda. Decades of judicial activism have made the Supreme Court the most potent threat to American freedom. Men in Black, as Rush Limbaugh writes in his introduction, "couldn't be more timely or important, as liberals continue shamelessly to thwart the people, Congress, the president, and state governments by using the courts to dictate national policy....Men in Black is a tremendously important and compelling book." It could very well be the most important book you hear this year. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach.

    Audie Award Finalist, Package Design, 2014 I can’t stop thinking big.... International best-selling author Kevin J. Anderson teams up with Rush lyricist and drummer Neil Peart to expand the story set out in Clockwork Angels, the 20th studio album by the legendary rock band. All the journeys of this great adventure - It didn’t always feel that way For more than two centuries, the land of Albion has been ruled by the supposedly benevolent Watchmaker, who imposes precision on every aspect of life. Young Owen Hardy from the village of Barrel Arbor dreams of seeing the big city and the breathtaking Clockwork Angels that dispense wisdom to the people, maybe even catching a glimpse of the Watchmaker himself. I was brought up to believe.... He watches the steamliners drift by, powered by alchemical energy, as they head toward Crown City - never dreaming that he is already caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos, between the Watchmaker and his nemesis, the Anarchist. Owen’s journeys begin at a fabulous carnival with clockwork wonders beyond his imagination, and take him aboard airships, far into the Redrock Desert to seek lost cities, through storms at sea to encounters with pirates...and give him a chance at love.
