The Magician's Tale: A Kay Farrow Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 848min

This audiobook was previously published under the pseudonym David Hunt. A woman who sees what others cannot see seeks the murderer of a young street hustler, a man she had befriended in photographing San Francisco's dark, sexually charged netherworld. The colors of Kay Farrow's landscape are black, white, and shades of gray. An achromat suffering from total color blindness, Kay possesses a vision that informs her world and sharpens her skills as a talented photographer. When Tim Lovsey, a handsome prostitute, is brutally slain, he becomes much more than Kay's subject. She makes it her mission to find his killer, even though the police would prefer to quietly let the case drop. Kay's search for answers takes her back in time to an unsolved serial murder case with disturbing parallels to Tim's killing - a case whose botched investigation led to her father's ouster from the police force. Searching for the truth, she moves from the back alleys, exotic clubs, and dim corners of San Francisco's underground, where - for the right price - any sexual fantasy can be realized, to the elite enclaves of the city's most privileged class. Kay knows Tim's murderer resides somewhere within these disparate worlds, at an intersection as gray and murky as the shadows that define her world. Putting her life and all she holds dear at risk, Kay must sort through the riddles of the past before she can discover the shocking truth of Tim's death. Along the way, she finds the chiaroscuro of culpability pointed in shades of lust, jealousy, greed, and desire.

Munanchar and Menanchar: An Irish Folktale, Hörbuch, Digital, 9min

Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing. Munanchar and Menanchar are two friends who are out picking raspberries. As Munanchar fills his bucket, Menanchar eats them. Munanchar discovers what is happening and tells Menanchar that he is going to go get a stick and hit Menancnhar on the head! So Munanchar sets out and finds a tree that has a branch that will be just the right stick. But the tree tells him he needs an ax. He goes to the ax, and the ax tells him he needs a stone to sharpen the ax. The stone says he needs water to wet the stone. The water says he needs to get a deer to jump into it. The deer says he needs to get a dog to chase her. The dog says it needs some butter in its teeth. The churns says it needs milk. The cow says it needs tall grass. The grass says it needs water. The water says he needs something to hold it. Munanchar grabs a sieve, but the water runs right through it. Just then a crow flies by and caws. The sound of the crow reminds Munanchar of caulk. He uses some mud as caulk, gets some water in the sieve, and waters the grass, feeds the grass to the cow, brings milk to the churn that churns out some butter for the dog, who chases the deer, who jumps into the water that wets the stone and sharpens the ax. He takes the ax and cuts a branch, breaks off the little branches to make a stick, and runs back. There's no one there. Menanchar has gone home. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Gordh.

Was die Reitbahn uns lehrt

"Ziel wirklichen Reitens ist: innere Zwiesprache mit dem Pferd", sagt Dorothee Baumann-Pellny. Doch in ihrem Alltag als Reitlehrerin erlebt sie oft das Gegenteil, denn Details werden als unwichtig übergangen oder sind gar nicht bekannt, selbst in der Fachliteratur werden sie kaum thematisiert. Dieses Buch schärft systematisch die Aufmerksamkeit für Feinheiten, die unscheinbar wirken mögen, jedoch der Schlüssel zu erstaunlichen Leistungen von Pferd und Reiter sind. Die eindrückliche Beschreibung von Hilfengebung und Bewegungsabläufen erlaubt es dem Leser, in Gedanken "mitzureiten" und so die Zusammenhänge der Reitlehre zu verinnerlichen - von den Grundlagen bis hin zum Schulgalopp. Ein umfangreicher Fototeil dokumentiert die sorgfältige Grundausbildung des Araberwallachs "Siwango" und verdeutlicht wichtige Momente in der Entwicklung einer Reiter-Pferd-Dyade. Eine empathische Arbeit mit dem Pferd fordert dem Menschen nicht nur reiterliche Fähigkeiten, sondern Selbstdisziplin und Reife ab. Die Autorin zeigt Wege auf, wie der Reiter auch in unseren schnelllebigen Zeiten zu Muße, Hingabe und Konzentration finden kann. So schult die Reitbahn die Verständigung mit dem Pferd und die Persönlichkeit des Menschen gleichermaßen.Ein außergewöhnliches Lehrbuch für Reiter wie Ausbilder!Baumann-Pellny, Reiten"The goal of true riding is an inner dialogue with the horse," says Dorothee Baumann-Pellny. But in her everyday work as a riding teacher she often experiences the opposite, seeing fine details ignored as unimportant or simply not recognised. Even in the literature on the topic they are seldom a theme. This book systematically sharpens the attention to those fine details that may seem inconspicuous but are nonetheless the key to amazing achievements by both horse and rider. The impressive description of riding aids and sequences of movements allow the reader to "ride alongside" in their mind and thus to internalise the interrelationships in the theory of riding - from the basics to the school canter. An extensive section of photographs documents the careful training of the Arab gelding "Siwango" and captures important moments in the development of the rider-horse dyad. Working empathetically with a horse demands of the rider not only technical ability but also self-discipline and maturity. The author demonstrates ways in which riders, even in our own fast-paced times, can find time for relaxation, commitment and concentration.In this way the riding-school teaches an understanding with the horse while at the same time training the rider's personality.An exceptional textbook for both riders and trainers!
