  War and Gold: A Five-Hundred-Year History of Empires, Adventures, and Debt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min

  The world was wild for gold. After discovering the Americas, and under pressure to defend their vast dominion, the Habsburgs of Spain promoted gold and silver exploration in the New World with ruthless urgency. But, the great influx of wealth brought home by plundering conquistadors couldn’t compensate for the Spanish government’s extraordinary military spending, which would eventually bankrupt the country multiple times over and lead to the demise of the great empire. Gold became synonymous with financial dependability, and following the devastating chaos of World War I, the gold standard came to express the order of the free market system. Warfare in pursuit of wealth required borrowing - a quickly compulsive dependency for many governments. And when people lost confidence in the promissory notes and paper currencies issued during wartime, governments again turned to gold. In this captivating historical study, Kwarteng exposes a pattern of war-waging and financial debt - bedmates like April and taxes that go back hundreds of years, from the French Revolution to the emergence of modern-day China. His evidence is as rich and colorful as it is sweeping. And it starts and ends with gold. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Malk Williams.

  Intelligence in War: Knowledge of the Enemy from Napoleon to Al-Qaeda, Hörbuch, Digital, 555min

  In fiction, the spy is a glamorous figure whose secrets make or break peace, but, historically, has intelligence really been a vital step to military victories? In this breakthrough study, the preeminent war historian John Keegan goes to the heart of a series of important conflicts to develop a powerful argument about military intelligence. In his characteristically wry and perceptive prose, Keegan offers us nothing short of a new history of war through the prism of intelligence. Keegan brings to life the split-second decisions that went into waging war before the benefit of aerial surveillance and electronic communications. The English admiral Horatio Nelson was hot on the heels of Napoleon's fleet in the Mediterranean and never knew it, while Stonewall Jackson was able to compensate for the Confederacy's disadvantage in firearms and manpower with detailed maps of the Appalachians. In the past century, espionage and decryption have changed the face of battle. Timely information, however, is only the beginning of the surprising and disturbing aspects of decisions that are made in war, where brute force is often more critical. Intelligence in War is a thought-provoking work that ranks among John Keegan's finest achievements. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Prebble.

  Conversion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 931min

  Emma is content. She's got a promising career in front of her, great friends, and a pretty amazing family. But her love life has been a little lacking lately. That's when fate steps in, and she crashes into a tall, dark, and handsome man - Teren Adams. He’s single, successful, an extraordinary gentleman, but he’s also secretive. And some of his secrets are more unusual than most people’s. For instance, he’s a "little bit" vampire. He has fangs, incredible hearing, unbelievable speed, and, on occasion, he enjoys drinking a steaming cup of blood. But he’s also very much alive. He has a heartbeat, loves steak as well as cappuccinos, and has no problems walking around during the day. Since Teren acts human the majority of the time, the pros far outweigh the cons in Emma’s book. But when it becomes apparent that Teren’s condition is much more serious than he first lets on, and that being in a relationship with him requires more sacrifices than most would be willing to make, will Emma stay? Is love enough to compensate for a life that will never be anywhere near normal? But then again...what's normal anyway? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piper Goodeve.

  Bent over by Boorman: A First Anal Sex Erotica Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min, (USK 18)

  I always thought Keith Boorman had a tiny penis because he had all of the typical toys like a giant truck, a sports car and a speed boat. He was a nice guy, really, and I thought it was silly that a guy like him would still feel a need to compensate. Then, one day while he was supposed to be out, I dropped something off at his house. But he was still there! And I was dead wrong about the size. He rushed away while I stood there in embarrassment and I was still embarrassed when he came back with a robe. The awkwardness turned to joking and as much as I didn't want to be shallow, the size of his pecker had me horny as hell. Before I knew it, we were going at it and then he had me bent over the kitchen table for my first anal sex experience! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity and includes rough sex, deepthroat, first anal sex, and more. Only mature adults who won't find that offensive should listen to this story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly Morgan.

  True You: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Using Your Voice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min

  Act like a lady. Land a career. Find a man. Learn how to cook. Rear amazing kids. Oh! And be sure you stay thin. Pressure to perform and conform starts early in a woman's life and never stops. In attempts to compensate and keep up appearances, we lose our ability to keep in touch with the truest parts of ourselves. We put on masks and hide the painful parts of our stories. If we get a quiet moment, we are ambushed with doubts: Who am I? This audiobook serves as a companion as we find ourselves, our sense of community, and our identity in God. Designed to take you deeper with God on your own or with a group of sisters, journey alongside experienced ministers Adele Ahlberg Calhoun and Tracey Bianchi into some of the places where women struggle - no matter what their age or life-stage. Personal resources like journaling questions and a small group guide help women support each other on the way. These pages offer a reminder that there is a beloved, "true you" waiting to be known in each of us and that a world in need awaits the unique stories that each of us were made to tell. Will you use your voice? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carol Hendrickson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/020972/bk_adbl_020972_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Undiscovered Self: With Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams (Bollingen) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min

  These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn of mass society. Among his most influential works, The Undiscovered Self is a plea for his generation - and those to come - to continue the individual work of self-discovery and not abandon needed psychological reflection for the easy ephemera of mass culture. Only individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche, Jung tells us, will allow the great work of human culture to continue and thrive.Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into the second essay, "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams", completed shortly before his death in 1961. Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious, Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, ideas that are central to his system of psychology.This edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London. ungekürzt.

  Confessing and Coming out of the Closet to My Boss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min, (USK 18)

  I'm staying late at the office one evening, when before you know it, I'm pushing way more than just pencils. For the longest time, I've been pretty damn overwhelmed by life. The son of a rich family, I've always gotten into quite a bit of unsavory behavior to compensate for my general dissatisfaction, much to my family's dismay. Little do they know, however, that the reasons for my acting out are my suppressed homosexual urges, for which I simply cannot seem to find an outlet. My father, I know with some conviction, tends to be rather homophobic in nature, and I have the creeping suspicion that if my true nature became known to him I would end up screwing my way out of an inheritance. Things change pretty drastically, then, when I begin to hear rumors that my boss at the financial firm where I'm interning for the summer harbors a few man-eating tendencies of his own, and I set to go about brown nosing him in hopes of establishing some sort of connection with him in that regard. I can't even come close to imagining, however, just how generous a reward I will be given for my efforts at the firm. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Veronica Heart.

  Grace Meets Grit: How to Bring Out the Remarkable, Courageous Leader Within , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min

  There is no mistaking that inequality in the workplace is still prevalent in the form of salary inequity and unequal representation in leadership and board positions. Too often conversations about inequality can lead to men and women believing they are alike. Women and men are not the same, biologically or psychologically, and these differences lead to significant dissimilarities in how each approaches leadership situations. Grace Meets Grit navigates the previously unexplored subject of gender differences in the workplace specifically applied to critical leadership behaviors. Leadership behaviors are what make us all successful in the workplace. They are how we are evaluated against our peers and what we use to solve problems when working in teams. We also know that the most effective organizations work diligently to optimize these leadership behaviors. Through stories of extraordinary, courageous women, Grace Meets Grit shows how to compensate for your innate style by "dialing up" leadership qualities you may not naturally possess. Middleton empowers women, in particular, to embrace their innate qualities and anticipate and apply behaviors expected of their male counterparts to help level the playing field. The end result is fewer misunderstandings in the workplace and higher performance from both individual leaders and teams. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daina Middleton.
