    The Lost Bookstores: A Glimpse of Post-World War One America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
    With an introduction by Professor Lane on the love of books, this book includes a judicious selection from the writings of Guido Bruno. Here, he describes what bookstores were like during the post-World War I boon in such cities as New York, Chicago, Boston, and elsewhere.He speaks of a time when very young entrepreneurs saw opening a bookstore as an investment into the future, where the public was eager not only to read the latest novels, but also to enjoy the experience of browsing shelves upon shelves of new literary possibilities.In this book, we have selected key sections of Bruno’s writings that concentrate on bookstores, what they had to offer, and what kinds of experiences one had during this most interesting time period. Almost all of the bookstores he mentions are long gone. But their memories persist, and one hopes that these “lost bookstores” will not be forgotten forever. Perhaps, even if only in virtual or augmented reality, we can resurrect these wonderful places anew and remember what a beautiful opportunity they presented for us in this strange world we inhabit. ungekürzt.

    The Child Prince: The Artifactor, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1188min
    Sevana Warran, reigning prodigy Artifactor of the age, has absolutely no desire to selflessly serve her fellow man. She wants, in fact, to be left alone so that she can putter about in her workroom. But her efforts in avoiding other people prove to be in vain. The reigning family of Windamere is no longer sitting upon the throne and the Council has instead taken power. The sole hope of avoiding the evil machinations of the Council is Bellomi Dragonmanovich, Prince of Windamere. As a 21-year-old cursed into the body of a perpetual eight-year-old, he lacks the power and ability to stop the Council. Sevana, after a judicious review of the situation, decides that she cannot let things continue. If she did, she'd never be left alone and would instead be buried in paperwork if the Council has anything to say about it. So she kidnaps the prince from where he was locked away in the palace and sets about breaking his curse. Prince and Artifactor quickly realize that simply breaking the curse won't be enough to free Windamere from the Council. It will take training, cunning, allies, information, and more than just a little magic if they are to reclaim the throne. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cheridah Best.

    Abraham Lincoln: A Life 1843-1849: A Win in Congress and a Battle Against Slavery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
    A Win in Congress and a Battle Against Slavery (1843-1849)"I have got the preacher by the balls" - Pursuing a Seat in Congress (1843-1847)This chapter begins with Lincoln's fight for a seat in congress against two other Whig candidates. This part of his life is notably marked by domestic disturbances, many of which shaped people's idea of Lincoln, the man. Taking a pro-tariff stance in his campaign, he is elected to congress in 1846. We learn of his affinity to poetry, which he avidly read and wrote, and see the development of the 'old Abe' archetype, which apparently stemmed from a casual nickname and stuck with him for the rest of his life."A strong but judicious enemy to slavery" - Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849)As a member of congress the Lincolns move to Washington, which at the time could be described as a city dealing with both 'magnificence and squalor.' Lincoln became very popular for his wit and humor. His time in congress is marked by a very strong anti-Mexican War sentiment and a denunciation of President Polk, for which he was criticized. He battles for the Whig Party opinion that slavery should not spread to free territories and should be abolished where it exists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Pratt.

    Five Minds for the Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
    We live in a time of vast changes that include accelerating globalization, mounting quantities of information, the growing hegemony of science and technology, and the clash of civilizations. Those changes call for new ways of learning and thinking in school, business, and the professions. Listen as psychologist Howard Gardner defines the cognitive abilities that will command a premium in the years ahead: The disciplinary mind: mastery of major schools of thought The synthesizing mind: ability to integrate ideas The creating mind: capacity to uncover and clarify problems, questions, and phenomena The respectful mind: awareness of and appreciation for differences among human beings The ethical mind: fulfillment of one's responsibilities Armed with these well-honed capacities, a person will be equipped to deal with what is expected in the future, as well as what cannot be anticipated. Without these "minds", individuals will be at the mercy of forces they can't understand: overwhelmed by information, unable to succeed in the workplace, and incapable of making judicious decisions about personal and professional matters. Renowned worldwide for his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner takes that thinking to the next level. Concise and engaging, this audiobook will inspire lifelong learning and provide valuable insights for those charged with training and developing organizational leaders - today and tomorrow. ungekürzt.

    Jesus and Muhammad: 2 Rays of the Same Light: Profound Similarities, Shared Perspectives, and Congruence in Their Teaching , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 327min
    The book Jesus and Muhammad: 2 Rays of the Same Light takes the listener on a journey through the authentic teachings of Jesus and Muhammad. During the course of this journey, each listener is presented with numerous themes and topics that were excellently addressed by Jesus in the New Testament and that were also superbly addressed by Muhammad in the Quran, thus illustrating profound similarities, complements, and parallels. Providing ample food for thought and reflection, the book provides numerous examples where the teachings of Jesus and Muhammad clearly demonstrate continuity, balance, and congruence. An excellent analysis is made of "The Sermon on the Mount", also entitled "The Beatitudes", from Jesus while on the mountain, compared to "The Farewell Sermon", also entitled "The Final Sermon", of Muhammad, also delivered while on a mountain. The critical insights and synergy is compelling and indeed thought-provoking, as well as inspirational. The book brilliantly explores the subject of religious interfaith, providing scriptural support from Jesus, as per the New Testament, and from Muhammad, as per the Quran, as an unbiased platform. The book does an excellent job of identifying numerous examples where the teachings of Jesus and Muhammad do indeed portray them as two rays of the same light.This book is a valuable milestone in the field of inter-religious study, full of bright perspectives, judicious assessments, and compelling insights! ungekürzt.

    Damage Control: The Josie Kendall Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
    When Jerzy Schroeder, a shadowy gray-market hustler and aspiring crony capitalist, is murdered while Josie Kendall is hitting him up for a million dollars to help him cash in on alternative-energy funding, the police suspect her of adultery and her husband, Rafe, of homicide. Josie, who works for Majority Values Coalition, an "activist fundraising organization", is a new but passionate Washington, DC player. Rafe, long a Washington insider, is passionate about Josie and about supporting her learning curve on how Washington works. For Josie and Rafe, this isn't a murder investigation but a political damage-control problem. They'll need a full arsenal, since, as one capital insider points out, "A damage control strategy that hasn't succeeded within 30 days has failed." They attack the issue with an array of finely tuned skills: strategic leaks, manipulation of the media, judicious use of inside information, and a flexible attitude toward the truth - plus the assistance of Josie's uncle Darius, a veteran spin doctor with surprising connections who is, luckily, out on parole. Along the way Josie will have to decide whether there are ethical lines that even she won't cross. In this House of Cards scenario, determining who actually murdered Schroeder is a low-priority problem, but Josie manages to do that as well. It's all in a day's - or, rather, 30 days' - work. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/009460/bk_blak_009460_sample.mp3.
