    Fat: Labels, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
    You're pretty, for a fat girl. That's nothing Claire Howard hasn't heard before, and there's part of her that doesn't care, that thinks it's okay to love herself just the way she is. Then there's that other voice in her head, the one that plays on a constant loop that gets louder whenever people scrutinize her dinner order, snicker when she needs a belt extender on a plane, and outright laugh when they see her with her the kind of man they don't think fat girls deserve. It reminds her that existing while fat is the worst thing in the world. It's worse than being ignorant, bigoted or cruel-at least according to society's standards. Even when she has the attentions of two men who are the embodiment of fantasy. But it's not their love that matters, it's her own. Fat is a brand that's been seared into every aspect of her life-even her heart. Can Claire love herself enough to reach past the labels for her own happiness? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollie Jackson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/023318/bk_acx0_023318_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Captured by the Pirate Laird: Highland Force, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 676min
    Wed by proxy to a baron old enough to be her grandfather, Lady Anne trudges up the gangway of a galleon that will deliver her into the arms of a tyrant. Crestfallen, she believes her disastrous life cannot get worse - until she awakes to the blasts of cannon fire. Facing certain death, Anne trembles in her stateroom while swords clash and the chilling screams of battle rage on the deck above. When a rugged Highlander kicks in her door, she prays for a swift end. But Laird Calum MacLeod has a reason for plundering the ship - and it's not a stunning English lass. With no other choice, he takes Anne to his crumbling keep on the isle of Raasay and sends a letter of ransom to her husband. In time, Anne grows to understand MacLeod's plight and finds it increasingly difficult to resist Calum's unsettling charm - until the baron sends a reply agreeing to terms. Ripped from passion that will be forever seared into their souls, will Anne and Calum risk everything for love? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.

    The Why of War: An Unorthodox Soldier's Memoirs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    For me, Iraq didn't have many gunfights or arm bars. No pillage or rape. No elation for freed Iraqis or empathy when its dictator swung from a hangman's noose. I was angered by having had to go and wanted to crack the world open and pour out her rotten core.The Why of War chronicles 15 years of my US cavalry scout career. From introduction to conclusion, from stroke to mass shootings, this story is guaranteed to be seared into your memory. Now that the story has been written and has flowed to its truth, I realize it encompasses so much more than a question or a collection of memories. It serves as a bullhorn for other veterans to use to tell their stories. I am confident, I wasn't the only one asking why we invaded Iraq while I was there. Civilian listeners may gain a better understanding when thanking a veteran for their service.In many ways, the story serves as a reminder that no matter where we find ourselves, what condition to which we have fallen, we can be better. We owe that to our fallen soldiers. Welcome to my why of war.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tweet Productions.

    The Spiritual Slob , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 147min
    The "as above so below" principle of the universe and our active participation in the creation of the world around us is finally seared into our noggins in this funny, anecdotal, and much needed addition to the spiritual self-help sector. Deliciously grounded and telling it exactly as it is, this is a truly helpful guide that packs a highly refreshing punch: giving you the nitty-gritty on how - by looking at the divine disorder you've created around you - you can (finally) shift and change that energy in your life. Advocates of old-age practices such as "Feng Shui" and new-age must-haves like "affirmations" take note: Masuak's take no prisoners irreverence will leave you tossing out your bagua and smiley faces in favor of a vacuum and a hefty bag. Or even more shockingly, filling up your space with stuff you never even (until now) knew you wanted. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or the easily offended, The Spiritual Slob is, perhaps, the most entertaining and straight-forward book of its kind - the perfect antidote to those of us who are tired of flapping our wings so hard to get to heaven. ungekürzt.

    A Baby for the Firefighter: Oceanport Omegas, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    In Oceanport, New England's most gossipy small town, people wonder about Griff. Such a cute omega can't possibly be satisfied without a proper mate they say. Yet he'll be 30 soon and as far as they know he's never been with anyone! The truth is that Griff has given up on finding love...that is until his childhood best friend moves back to town and sets his heart on fire. When Dean's firefighter career is sidetracked by a tragic accident, returning to his roots to mend seems like a good move. It gives him a chance to breathe, as well as a chance to reconnect with his oldest friend, the omega who stole his heart when they were young. For some reason though, Griff keeps shying away from him, and it takes Dean a lot of patience, and a ton of cupcakes, to lure the sugar-addict out of his shell - and into his arms. But Dean's memories are still seared by the tragedy that sent him home and Griff is afraid of giving in to his omega instincts. Can they win through their personal walks of fire or is their flame bound to burn out? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Solo.

    Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 924min
    Many Americans have condemned the "enhanced interrogation" techniques used in the War on Terror as a transgression of human rights. But the United States has done almost nothing to prosecute past abuses or prevent future violations. Tracing this knotty contradiction from the 1950s to the present, historian Alfred W. McCoy probes the political and cultural dynamics that have made impunity for torture a bipartisan policy of the U.S. government. During the Cold War, McCoy argues, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency covertly funded psychological experiments designed to weaken a subject's resistance to interrogation. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the CIA revived these harsh methods, while U.S. media was flooded with seductive images that normalized torture for many Americans. Ten years later, the U.S. had failed to punish the perpetrators or the powerful who commanded them, and continued to exploit intelligence extracted under torture by surrogates from Somalia to Afghanistan. Although Washington has publicly distanced itself from torture, disturbing images from the prisons at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are seared into human memory, doing lasting damage to America's moral authority as a world leader. The book is published by University of Wisconsin Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Halliburton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/021883/bk_acx0_021883_sample.mp3.

(Washington Post)With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man - also named Jonathan Safran Foer - sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.As their adventure unfolds, Jonathan imagines the history of his grandfather’s village, conjuring a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. As his search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, until reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power."A rambunctious tour de force of inventive and intelligent storytelling.... Foer can place his reader’s hand on the heart of human experience, the transcendent beauty of human connections. Read, you can feel the life beating." (Philadelphia Inquirer) ungekürzt.

    A Change of Hate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
    Criminal defense lawyer Harrison "Hawk" Bennett is as fearless in the courtroom as he once was a Special Forces Green Beret in Vietnam. When a Buddhist Monk, a former Vietcong Colonel, appears in Hawk’s office seeking help, it changes everything Hawk believed about the war. Nguyen Duc Thuan is not just an old soldier turned to a new calling. He was an adversary Hawk spent months tracking in Vietnam. Tracking and, he thought until a moment ago, killing. Hawk now faces a choice: defend the monk against a government intent on protecting its heroes and secrets, or give in to the old hatred seared into his memories of Vietnam. With the FBI accusing the monk of killing an American intelligence officer, Hawk’s former commanding officer in Vietnam, Hawk struggles with his dedication to the law and his long-dead comrades from the war. As the depth of the conspiracy arrayed against the monk becomes clear, he will need all his legal skills and experience to expose the government perversion of justice. The course is set. He will find more than the truth behind the case against the monk. He will learn what happened in Vietnam. It will haunt him for the rest of his life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Sie.

    When Tears Don't Matter
    Following Cry Sadness into the Coming Rain (Steidl, 2017), which documents the seared landscapes of the Namib Desert and was shortlisted for the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 18 19, Margaret Courtney-Clarke now turns her lens to the bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. The inspiration for When Tears Don't Matter comes, in part, from her grandfather's photographs of almost a century earlier during his mandate as Secretary for South West Africa (now Namibia), some of which are reproduced in this book. 10,000 kilometers of formidable terrain takes Courtney-Clarke across remote bushveld, sand and salt pans to drought-stricken conservancies, tenuous farming communities that function as holding tanks for "inconvenient indigenes," "cultural villages" and peri-urban squatments, as far east as she could travel through the Namibian Kalahari Desert.Largely invisible to the outside world, the bushmen today are dispossessed of their land: a "shadow people" sidelined by officialdom, economic inequity and outdated mythologies which present them as living in an "uncontaminated" state. In this complex country where notions of truth and objectivity (and whiteness) are constantly explored, the battle against disenfranchisement is largely unsuccessful. Courtney-Clarke's photographs lie at the crossroads between documentary and activism, and their basis is an unfailing empathy with her subjects-in her words: "What is crucial in this work is to give place to a voice in search of a listener."
