    Chasing Smoke: A Skin Kadash Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min
    Portland homicide detective Skin Kadash just wants to survive cancer treatment so he can get back to the work he loves. When his partner tries to drag him into an unofficial investigation of a series of deaths, he's not interested - he's dead-dog sick and doesn't need the grief - until she reveals the victims all suffered from cancer themselves, and all had one thing in common with Skin. His oncologist. The deaths are all apparent suicides; the police have closed the book on them. Then a mysterious young woman, daughter of the first victim, surfaces and insists the dead men were all murdered. Before her story can be probed more deeply, she disappears, leaving Kadash with no support from the cops and little to go on except a nagging belief the missing woman knew more than she revealed. Kadash is left to chase elusive leads among the bitter and broken widows of the dead men. Struggling with his own illness and with a growing rift between himself and his partner, Kadash finds himself entangled in a web of resentment, jealousy, and deceit. Ultimately, he finds that not is he only seeking a missing woman and the truth about the dead men, but also the meaning of his own life in the face of his impending mortality. ungekürzt.

    My Big TOE, Book 3: Inner Workings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 507min
    My Big TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of contemporary culture, unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds is brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. Book 3: Inner Workings Section 5 presents the formal reality model in detail. In this section, the mechanics of reality are explained. You will find out how the past, present and future are formed, how they can be altered, and how you interact with the larger reality as an individuated unit of consciousness. Here you will find an explanation of inter and intra dimensional awareness and the theoretical possibilities of teleportation, time travel as a few of the more fun ramifications of this reality model are probed. Section 6 provides the wrap-up that puts everything discussed into an easily understood perspective. Additionally, Section 6 points out My Big TOE's relationship with contemporary science and philosophy. By demonstrating a close conceptual relationship between this TOE and some of the establishment's biggest scientific and philosophic intellectual guns, Section 6 integrates My Big TOE into traditional Western science and philosophy.

    Optogenetics
    This book, now in a thoroughly revised second edition, offers a comprehensive review of the rapidly growing field of optogenetics, in which light-sensing proteins are genetically engineered into cells in order to acquire information on cellular physiology in optical form or to enable control of specific network in the brain upon activation by light. Light-sensing proteins of various living organisms are now available to be exogenously expressed in neurons and other target cells both in vivo and in vitro. Cellular functions can thus be manipulated or probed by light. The new edition documents fully the extensive progress since publication of the first edition to provide an up-to-date overview of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of light-sensing proteins and their application in biological systems, particularly in neuroscience but also in medicine and the optical sciences. Underlying principles are explained and detailed information provided on a wide range of optogenetic tools for the observation and control of cellular signaling and physiology, gene targeting technologies, and optical methods for biological applications. In presenting the current status of optogenetics and emerging directions, this milestone publication will be a "must read" for all involved in research in any way related to optogenetics.

    Wisdom Literature, Hörbuch, Digital, 546min
    Sr. Dianne Bergant examines the Wisdom literature from the perspective of the insights into human nature and behavior that can be found in this inspired literature. She brings alive the writings by making it clear how they can enlighten the human situation today. The wisdom literature of the Bible was cherished in ancient Israel but was not exclusive to the people of God. The inspired writers borrowed from their neighbors in order to provide a religious humanism that is valid to this day. The sacred books ask hard questions of whether or not life has any meaning and practical answers of how to live the life we have been given well. Beginning bible students, preachers, and teachers will all be enriched by this course on these sacred and very human books. Our place in creation is probed and the role of learning and science explored. Questions about the role of women are examined and insights into what makes up a just society reflected on. The listener is constantly challenged by questions about their own meaning in life, the role they must play, their understanding of God and suffering. The poetry and the passion of these sacred writings are brought into sharp focus in this intense course. A convenient outline comes with the program that helps the listener stay focused and will prove helpful for further study of these endlessly fascinating inspired writings. Language: English.

    Alexander’s Veterans and the Early Wars of the Successors: Fordyce W. Mitchel Memorial Lecture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 716min
    Runner-up, PROSE Award, Classics and Ancient History, 2013From antiquity until now, most writers who have chronicled the events following the death of Alexander the Great have viewed this history through the careers, ambitions, and perspectives of Alexander’s elite successors. Few historians have probed the experiences and attitudes of the ordinary soldiers who followed Alexander on his campaigns and who were divided among his successors as they fought for control of his empire after his death. Yet the veterans played an important role in helping to shape the character and contours of the Hellenistic world.This pathfinding book offers the first in-depth investigation of the Macedonian veterans’ experience during a crucial turning point in Greek history (323–316 BCE). Joseph Roisman discusses the military, social, and political circumstances that shaped the history of Alexander’s veterans, giving special attention to issues such as the soldiers’ conduct on and off the battlefield, the army assemblies, the volatile relationship between the troops and their generals, and other related themes, all from the perspective of the rank-and-file.Roisman also reexamines the biases of the ancient sources and how they affected ancient and modern depictions of Alexander’s veterans, as well as Alexander’s conflicts with his army, the veterans’ motives and goals, and their political contributions to Hellenistic history. He pays special attention to the Silver Shields, a group of Macedonian veterans famous for their invincibility and martial prowess, and assesses whether or not they deserved their formidable reputation. ungekürzt.

    Clara Barton, Professional Angel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1169min
    Widely known today as the "Angel of the Battlefield", Clara Barton's personal life has always been shrouded in mystery. In Clara Barton, Professional Angel, Elizabeth Brown Pryor presents a biography of Barton that strips away the heroic exterior and reveals a complex and often trying woman.Based on the papers Clara Barton carefully saved over her lifetime, this biography is the first one to draw on these recorded thoughts. Besides her own voluminous correspondence, it reflects the letters and reminiscences of lovers, a grandniece who probed her aunt's venerable facade, and doctors who treated her nervous disorders. She emerges as a vividly human figure. Continually struggling to cope with her insecure family background and a society that offered much less than she had to give, she chose achievement as the vehicle for gaining the love and recognition that frequently eluded her during her long life.Not always altruistic, her accomplishments were nonetheless extraordinary. On the battlefields of the Civil War, in securing American participation in the International Red Cross, in promoting peacetime disaster relief, and in fighting for women's rights, Clara Barton made an unparalleled contribution to American social progress. Yet the true measure of her life must be made from this perspective: she dared to offend a society whose acceptance she treasured, and she put all of her energy into patching up the lives of those around her when her own was rent and frayed.The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press.

    Journey of a Lifetime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    You might say I'm set in my airways. I'm one of those lucky people whose professional and private lives blend exactly." Alan Whicker, 2007 This sumptuous book, to accompany the major BBC TV series of the same name, is a glorious celebration of 50 years in front of the camera. For as long as most can remember, Whicker has roamed far and wide in search of the eccentric, the ludicrous, and the socially-revealing aspects of everyday life as lived by some of the more colourful of the world's inhabitants. Since the late 1950s, when the long-running Whicker's World documentary was first screened, he has probed and dissected the often secretive and unobserved worlds of the rich and famous, rooting out the most implausible and sometimes ridiculous characters after gaining admittance to the places where they conduct their leisure hours. The great man's legacy contains a number of genuine TV firsts. As well as landmark interviews with figures as diverse as Papa Doc, Paul Getty, and the Sultan of Brunei, he was a pioneer, covering subjects like plastic surgery, gay weddings, polygamy, swinging, and gun-toting cops, fly-on-the-wall style, for British screens long before anyone else. This wonderful new book is the end product of a very personal journey. Whicker retraces his steps, catching up with some past interviewees and reflecting on how the world has changed - for good and bad - over the passing of time. Journey of a Lifetime is lyrical, uplifting, and peppered with our favourite globetrotter's brand of subtle satire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Whicker.

    Ranger Games: A Story of Soldiers, Family and an Inexplicable Crime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 963min
    Intricate, heartrending, and morally urgent, Ranger Games is a crime story like no other. Alex Blum was a good kid, a popular high school hockey star from a tight-knit Colorado family. He had one goal in life: endure a brutally difficult selection program, become a US Army Ranger, and fight terrorists for his country. He poured everything into achieving his dream. In the first hours of his final leave before deployment to Iraq, Alex was supposed to fly home to see his family and beloved girlfriend. Instead, he got into his car with two fellow soldiers and two strangers, drove to a local bank in Tacoma, and committed armed robbery.... The question that haunted the entire Blum family was: Why? Why would he ruin his life in such a spectacularly foolish way? At first, Alex insisted he thought the robbery was just another exercise in the famously daunting Ranger program. His attorney presented a case based on the theory that the Ranger indoctrination mirrored that of a cult. In the midst of his own personal crisis, and in the hopes of helping both Alex and his splintering family cope, Ben Blum, Alex's first cousin, delved into these mysteries, growing closer to Alex in the process. As he probed further, Ben began to question not only Alex but the influence of his superior, Luke Elliot Sommer, the man who planned the robbery. A charismatic combat veteran, Sommer's manipulative tendencies combined with a magnetic personality pulled Ben into a relationship that put his loyalties to the test. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Into the Unknown: Recklessly Following the Call of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
    The greatest adventure of my life has been to follow the call of God. For more than 50 years, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke's ministry has ignited the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the globe with signs of healings, miracles, and crusades recording multiplied millions upon millions of decisions for Christ. Behind the machinery that powered Bonnke's crusades into phenomenal success is the little-known story of Peter Vandenburg. A fiery agnostic, Peter had a dramatic conversion and became a musician and a minister of the Gospel early in his Christian walk. But it was his engineering and auto-mechanic background that would define his legacy and contribution to world evangelism. Into the Unknown is a true life Gospel adventure testimony of a life dedicated to pursuing God's purpose. It is a story of risk, danger across treacherous territories, miraculous and supernatural intervention, divine provision, and above all, God's faithfulness. About the author: Born in Zimbabwe, then Rhodesia, in 1947, Peter, his wife, Evangeline, and their three children traveled the world, from South Africa to the UK to America. After seven years of evangelistic ministry with the Gospel group Rufaro in the UK, he joined Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke at Christ for all Nations in 1981, where Peter currently serves as executive vice president, helping to plan and manage hundreds of open-air evangelistic crusades as well as ministering the Gospel message. Foreword by Reinhard Bonnke: Jesus spoke of the "pearl of great price" in a different context, but in Peter Vandenberg's book, I found a beautiful pearl in an oyster. This amazing story shares how he and his wife, Evangeline, probed their trust in Jesus, long before our ways intertwined. It is a life story that glorifies Jesus most wonderfully. ungekürzt.

    The Art of Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr's The Liars' Club spent more than a year at the top of the New York Times list. She followed with two other smash best sellers: Cherry and Lit, which were critical hits as well. For 30 years, Karr has also taught the form, winning teaching prizes at Syracuse. (The writing program there produced such acclaimed authors as Cheryl Strayed, Keith Gessen, and Koren Zailckas.) In The Art of Memoir, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and "black belt sinner", providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as irreverent, insightful, and entertaining as her own work in the genre. Anchored by excerpts from her favorite memoirs and anecdotes from fellow writers' experience, The Art of Memoir lays bare Karr's own process. (Plus all those inside stories about how she dealt with family and friends get told - and the dark spaces in her own skull probed in depth.) As she breaks down the key elements of great literary memoir, she breaks open our concepts of memory and identity, and illuminates the cathartic power of reflecting on the past; anybody with an inner life or complicated history, whether writer or reader, will relate. Joining such classics as Stephen King's On Writing and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, The Art of Memoir is an elegant and accessible exploration of one of today's most popular literary forms - a tour de force from an accomplished master pulling back the curtain on her craft.
