    Small Craft (eBook, ePUB)
    Janet Edmonds lives and writes on Cape Cod near Barnstable's salt marshes and harbor. Her work is infused with a strong sense of place and time - and plenty of sea salt. The poems in Small Craft immerse themselves in the glittering, turbulent waters of Cape Cod to see what can be salvaged and salvage what can be seen. Using sound-rich diction, Janet Edmonds describes the lowliest razor clam and the brightest constellations in the night sky combining presence and absence, light and dark, the knowable and the mysterious nature of things. She combines presence and absence, light and dark, the knowable and the mysterious nature of things. -Jennifer Barber author of The Sliding Boat Our Bodies Made, founding editor of Salamander Magazine Janet Edmonds' Small Craft is big in beauty, power, eloquence, and wit. This is a volume every lover of Cape Cod will want to add to their library. In fact, anyone who enjoys the ocean will appreciate what is on offer here.

I believe my soul could live for a week on a line like: "Seagulls' wingbeats whisper upward". -Will Vaus author of The Hidden Story of Narnia With graceful rhythms and striking imagery, Janet Edmonds illuminates a fresh perspective on Cape Cod's beauty, exuberance, occasional starkness, and gentle melancholy. If you love the beach, the stars, and nature, you will enjoy this collection of poems. -Mary E. McDermott author of Old Orleans: Memories of a Cape Cod Town

    The hilarious and heartwarming debut from your new favourite author, Lucy Holliday. The perfect LOL read for fans of Paige Toon and Lucy Diamond. Unlucky in love, failed actress Libby Lomax has retreated into the world of classic movies, where the immortal lives of the screen goddesses offer so much more in the way of romance than her own life.

Relaxing on her battered old couch salvaged from the props department by her best friend, Olly, Libby is gobsmacked to find actual screen icon Audrey Hepburn sitting beside her. Dressed in her little black dress, wearing her trademark sunglasses, Audrey proffers advice to the hapless Libby between ladylike puffs on her vintage cigarette holder. And so Audrey becomes Libby's confidante and friend - but has Libby got what it takes to turn her life from a turkey to a blockbuster? With a little bit of Audrey Hepburn magic, she might just pull it off....

In Michael Esslinger's latest book, Letters from Alcatraz, the prisoners' stories come to life in their own words.

    Treacherous Passage: Germany's Secret Plot Against the United States in Mexico During World War I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
    While the Great War raged across the trench-lined battlefields of Europe, a hidden conflict took place in the distant hinterlands of the turbulent Mexican Republic. German officials and secret-service operatives plotted to bring war to the United States through an array of schemes and strategies, from training a German-Mexican army for a cross-border invasion, to dispatching saboteurs to disrupt American industry, and planning for submarine bases on the western coast of Mexico. Bill Mills tells the true story of the most audacious of these operations: the German plot to launch clandestine sea raiders from the Mexican port of Mazatlán to disrupt Allied merchant shipping in the Pacific. The scheme led to a desperate struggle between German and American secret agents in Mexico. German consul Fritz Unger, the director of a powerful trading house, plotted to obtain a salvaged Mexican gunboat to supply U-boats operating off Mexico and to seize a hapless tramp schooner to help hunt Allied merchantmen. Unger's efforts were opposed by a colorful array of individuals, including a trusted member of the German secret service in Mexico who was also the top American spy, the US State Department's senior officer in Mazatlán, the hard-charging commander of a navy gunboat, and a draft-dodging American informant in the enemy camp. Full of drama and intrigue, Treacherous Passage is the first complete account of the daring German attempts to raid Allied shipping from Mexico in 1918. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David A. Nickerson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/097928/bk_acx0_097928_sample.mp3.

    The Promise: The Piecer Chronicles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    When the aliens attacked, humanity was nearly wiped out. There weren’t enough fighting men or women left alive to repel the invaders and what remained of humanity hid underground. Desperate to survive, the Piecer Corp plan was initiated; thousands upon thousands of DNA manipulated recruits were created to defend Earth. But they needed adult soldiers fast, so they adjusted their DNA to create the “Sixers;” grown adult soldiers in as little as six years. It worked, but growing at that accelerated pace was extremely painful and the men had to be given powerful synthetic pain medication to be able to fight...and they did fight. The Sixers were merciless and they beat the aliens back to their home world. A truce was called and the Earth was rebuilt. The Piecer Corp continued, but only normal growth DNA recruits were allowed to be created. The Earth was repopulated and humanity salvaged. “Normie” human soldiers could now take the place of manufactured Piecer Corp soldiers, ending the need for the Corp. Current day 2173: celebration for the last graduating class of the Corp. For these recruits, their life in the military was over. Chase 523, a Piecer fire team leader wondered if this was the last time he would see his team again. Soon they would be civilians and take their place among normally conceived humans. To honor them and mark the occasion, the first Starship ever built, “The Promise”, was flown to the Piecer Academy stadium. General Gilbert Tupi, a “normie” soldier, presided over the ceremony, congratulated them all, and dismissed them from military service. For one brief moment everyone was happy. That’s when the sky lit up. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maxx Powr. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/194540/bk_acx0_194540_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Antikythera Mechanism: The History and Mystery of the Ancient World's Most Famous Astronomical Device , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
    Discovering ancient shipwrecks hasn't been a novelty for thousands of years, but when artifacts were salvaged from a Roman shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1900, the discovery of one set off one of the great mysteries of antiquity. When sponge divers investigated the shipwreck, they found the kinds of items often associated with such discoveries, including marble statues, pottery, jewelry, and coins, but they also discovered a strange object, the likes of which nobody had ever seen before. Initially assumed to be pieces of rock, it turned out that the item, soon to be dubbed the Antikythera mechanism, consisted of dozens of pieces, many of which had gears. In fact, while scholars quickly deduced that it had an astronomical purpose, many believed the mechanism was too advanced to actually date back to antiquity. As it turned out, of course, the Antikythera mechanism did date back to the first or second century BCE, and as scholars began to more fully comprehend its abilities, fascination over the device grew. In conjunction with the determination that the mechanism was an analog computer of sorts that could predict astronomical phenomena like the positions of stars and eclipses, conjecture over the origins of the device led to theories over what the Romans were going to do with it, and whether the device was created by the Greek genius Archimedes himself. To this day, debate continues over whether there were predecessors to the model, where the astronomical observations that went into creating the model were taken, and whether the ultimate origins of the device might even be Babylonian. ungekürzt.
