    Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake, read by Robin Ince with an introduction by the author. The new book from astronaut Tim Peake, the number one best-selling author of Hello, is this planet Earth? How does it feel to orbit the earth ten times faster than a speeding bullet? What’s it like to eat, sleep and go to the toilet in space? And where to next - the Moon, Mars or beyond? Ask an Astronaut is Tim’s personal guide to life in space, based on his historic Principia mission, and the thousands of questions he has been asked since his return to Earth. Accessible, in-depth, and written with his characteristic warmth, Tim shares his thoughts on every aspect of his mission. From training to launch, from his historic spacewalk to re-entry, he reveals for listeners of all ages the cutting-edge science behind his ground-breaking experiments, and the wonders of day-to-day life on board the International Space Station. Tim is pleased to announce that, as with his previous book, he will be donating royalties received from the book to The Prince’s Trust. 'Narrating Tim Peake's [Ask an Astronaut] was a delightful adventure in understanding how and why humans journey into space, as well as an epic voyage in learning how to pronounce Russian names. I feel more ready to go into space than I have ever done, though I'm not quite sure I'll get through the training process.... A beautiful look at our desire to go beyond our terrestrial gravity.' - Robin Ince ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Ince, Tim Peake.

    Troilus and Criseyde (Dramatised), Hörbuch, Digital, 113min
    A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde by poet and writer Lavinia Greenlaw. One of the great works of English literature, this powerful, compelling story explores love from its first tentative beginnings through to passionate sensuality and eventual tragic disillusionment. Lavinia Greenlaw's new version for radio brings Chaucer's language up-to-date for a modern audience while remaining true to his original poetic intention. After seeing the beautiful widow Criseyde at the temple in Troy, Troilus falls instantly in love with her. Inexperienced in love, he is unable to act on his feelings and locks himself in his room to compose love songs. Criseyde's Uncle Pandarus becomes the matchmaker for the couple, but what will happen when Criseyde is handed over to the Greeks at the gates of Troy to join her 'traitor' father? The cast includes Tom Ferguson as Troilus, Maxine Peake as Criseyde and Malcolm Raeburn as Pandarus. Also starring Kathryn Hunt, Kevin Doyle, Terence Mann and Declan Wilson. Directed by Susan Roberts. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Ferguson, Maxine Peake. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/004071/bk_bbcw_004071_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Unsterbliches Bewusstsein (eBook, ePUB)
    Ervin László und Anthony Peake erörtern in diesem Buch die Frage nach der Kontinuität des Bewusstseins im Kosmos und untersuchen, inwiefern Bewusstsein unabhängig von einem lebenden Organismus existieren kann. Gestützt auf ein neues wissenschaftliches Paradigma und im Einklang mit einer erfahrungsbasierten Spiritualität nehmen die Autoren die wissenschaftlich relevanten Hinweise unter die Lupe, die für ein Fortbestehen des Bewusstseins über den Tod hinaus sprechen. Zu diesem rasant wachsenden Indizienfundus gehören unter anderem Nahtoderfahrungen, Zeugnisse von nachtodlicher Kommunikation, Reinkarnationserinnerungen sowie die neurosensorischen Informationen, die wir in veränderten Bewusstseinszuständen empfangen können. Wie die Autoren erläutern, bedeutet der Erhalt des Bewusstseins nach dem Vergehen des Körpers im Grunde, dass wir unsterblich sind: Selbst wenn unsere physische Existenz beendet ist, existieren wir doch weiterhin. Dies deckt sich mit den neuesten Erkenntnissen der modernen Physik, nach der die Objekte in unserer durch Raum und Zeit bestimmten Welt nicht die eigentliche Realität darstellen, sondern Manifestationen einer verborgenen Dimension sind, die aus Superstrings, Informationsfeldern und Energiematrizen besteht. László und Peake weisen nach, dass Bewusstsein eine grundlegende Eigenschaft des Kosmos bildet und auf dessen tiefster, nichtmanifester Ebene unvergänglich ist. Sie zeigen auf, dass es die Bestimmung des Bewusstseins ist, sich fortwährend weiterzuentwickeln, indem es kontinuierlich in der Gestalt von Lebewesen in Erscheinung tritt.

    Dustbin Baby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    April has lots of nicknames: there's April Showers, because she's always crying, and April fool, because of when her birthday falls. Her worst nickname of all, though, is Dustbin Baby. That reminds her of how she started out in life: abandoned in a rubbish bin. When she turns 14, April decides that she must find out who she really is, where she came from and, most importantly, who her real mother is. There have been lots of people she's called Mum, and now she lives with Marion, but April wishes she could remember her birth mother. She even wonders if it might be possible to find her... Perhaps if April can achieve her ambition, she will feel strong enough to shake off the nicknames and the memories of some awful times in her past, for ever. Tessa Peake-Jones reads Dustbin Baby, a compelling listen for older children about one girl's search for her real family. Jacqueline Wilson has sold over 20 million books in the UK and has been awarded an OBE for services to literacy in schools.
