    Seventeen Minutes to Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes and the American Literati, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
    Sherlock Holmes had never met a writer who had ridiculed him as bitterly as Samuel L. Clemens had. For that matter, Holmes had never met a writer who fancied himself a detective. Yet Sam Clemens not only unraveled Holmes' investigation into the murder of the hot-blooded woman on Thor Bridge, but also, while writing as Mark Twain, belittled Holmes' highly-touted detecting skills. In this recently discovered narrative, Doctor Watson sets the record straight. He reveals other crimes related to the original murder while relating what prompted Clemens in a 1902 short story to deride the famous detective. Spurred on by such criticism, as well as by clues discovered in a classic tale by Bret Harte, Sherlock Holmes begins a new investigation, one that leads Holmes and Watson from the gardens of Windsor Castle to the spires of Oxford University in their efforts to track down a deranged assassin bent on wreaking even more havoc. ungekürzt.

    Harriet Lerner on Anger: Where Your Anger Comes from and How to Transform It, Hörbuch, Digital, 98min
    When Harriet Lerner began work on her book The Dance of Anger at the Menninger Clinic nearly 30 years ago, there were no books on this subject. Today it is a classic in the field. Now with the audio learning program Harriet Lerner on Anger, this distinguished psychologist shows how women can reclaim this emotion as a vital, life-changing force. Our culture encourages and even rewards aggressive men, yet when a woman shows anger, she is shunned, devalued, and ridiculed. This personal session traces the roots of this paradox and teaches how the suppression of anger leads to guilt and self-violation. This is Harriet Lerner's definitive session on how women can get angry and speak up while constructively resolving life issues.

    Jesus Among Secular Gods: The Countercultural Claims of Christ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale defend the absolute claims of Christ against modern belief in the "secular gods" of atheism, scientism, relativism, and more. The rise of these secular gods presents the most serious challenge to the absolute claims of Christ since the founding of Christianity itself. The Christian worldview has not only been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are openly ridiculed as irrelevant. In Jesus Among Secular Gods, Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale challenge the popular "isms" of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for revealed absolute truth as found in Jesus. This book is fresh, insightful, and important, and faces head on today's most urgent challenges to Christian faith. It will help seekers to explore the claims of Christ and will provide Christians with the knowledge to articulate why they believe that Jesus stands tall above all other gods. ungekürzt.

    Number 96: Mavis Bramston and Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 712min
    Two shows changed the face of Australian television forever, and rocked the nation to its foundations. And now, the creator of Number 96 and the Executive Producer of The Mavis Bramston Show takes you behind the scenes of these two controversial, outrageously ground-breaking series for a jaunt through the industry's Golden Years. These two shows flaunted the unmentionable, destroyed taboos, ridiculed sacred cows and dared to deal with subjects hitherto considered too shocking for polite society. They were condemned from the pulpit, slayed by the critics, yet adored by an immense majority of viewers. Actor, script writer, producer and author David Sale's career progressed through the theatres and movie studios of London and Hollywood and the turbulent world of Australia's TV industry, and he takes us with him every step of the way. It's a life that began in war-ravaged Manchester, followed the migrant route to Australia, and - against all odds - hit the heights of show business. It can be summed up in four words. From Blitz to Glitz! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Sale. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/boli/002382/bk_boli_002382_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Man Who Knew the Way to the Moon, Hörbuch, Digital, 212min
    The story of John C. Houbolt, an unsung hero of Apollo 11 and the man who showed NASA how to put America on the moon. Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon.  Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable. But this junior engineer was irrepressible. He stood by his concept, fired off memos to executives, and argued that LOR was the only way to success. For the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11, hear the untold story of the man who helped fulfill Kennedy’s challenge to reach the moon and begin exploring the final frontier.

    A Seizure of Landscapes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min
    It is time to consider that you may not be alive at this very moment, and to even go deeper to see the very real truth about living beyond the grave and what exactly that is like. Come journey with me in the epic psychological thriller once ridiculed by the very fabric of society, but now embraced as one of the most fundamental books on death to date. This is a very personal book. Many of the stories involved in here are absolutely 100% real, but in attempting to cross over to the great unknown that is death there are just too many variables, and so, I allowed myself the greatest creative liberties holding nothing back. All of us will die one day, and that sucks. I don't think death is supposed to be immutable. Who will rise up and challenge this thing, master the monster, and make it their own creature to bend and will it when and where to go? This is the secret first book of my coming Discourses in Reality series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gordon McWhorter.

    States of Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
    Tender, nostalgic, romantic, funny, absurd, magically real, speculative, ironic, nightmarish, entertaining and elegantly rendered…these stories span a century of Man’s consciousness. Once, a man might be a Gatsby chasing his girl half-way around the world, the captain of a football World Cup winning side, a raging Picasso bull in a mythical maze refusing to yield lover or art till his last mortality-defiant egotistic gasp. Straightforward enough choices, dreams, behaviour. Suddenly he is man interrupted, underwhelmed, overworked, ridiculed, young, rock-solid or unreliable family man, father, husband, friend; his freedom evaporates: he’s globe-trotting inbox-fatigued nonsense-hearing corporate, military civil-serving quiet ministry of Everyman. He’s so exasperated he might just run away and prop up a bar, or contemplate mild treachery just to get by, and he’s put-upon, boy is he put upon, as he zigzags over #TimesUp, political correctness, game theory, oh…and…the women in his life. Now here he stands staring down the barrel of the 21st Century - he’s superman, he’s transhuman, he’s disassembling, he’s nearly done for.......or is he? ungekürzt.
