Matisse: The Cut-Outs: Studies in World Art, Book 47 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
The big exhibition of Matisse's Cut-Outs at Tate Modern in London was, certainly on the face of it, everything that a major museum of modern and contemporary art should be doing. It was beautifully presented, very professionally curated, had an extremely thorough, excellently illustrated catalogue, and was greeted with ecstatic reviews. It was thronged with visitors, but fortunately not to the point of suffocation (as was the case, alas, with the National Gallery’s Leonardo da Vinci exhibition). The rooms in which it is shown were big enough to allow the visitor enough space to view the exhibits from a variety of distances, and the works themselves were often on a suitably grand scale. ungekürzt.

Pale Rider: Zombies Versus Dinosaurs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
I am often left to wonder why a zombie, walking around in the sun, smells better than a pooping dinosaur. Two worlds collide in this action novelette. Zombies have destroyed civilization. Gasoline fuel is no longer an option, but humanity must find a way to survive. In response to trying to restore our way of life, we engineer franken-monsters. Because of their small brains and massive sizes, these beasts make quick work of farming and clearing land. These large creatures are immune to the zombie virus and perform excellently in loud conditions. They are easy to train. They behave like war horses, prone to help charge in and defend our livelihood. In honor of the past, and to help build our future, we named these creatures dinosaurs. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Predators in the Workplace: A 'Reality Check' on What We too Often Encounter in Our Working Environments , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
Predator: Living by robbing, plundering or preying on other animals.... (Webster's New World Dictionary) Question: When is doing your job - excellently - just not enough? Answer: When someone stabs you in the back to get ahead! Unfortunately, there are many human versions of "Predators" in every type of life situation that we run into. My own experience with this "breed of cat" has been in the workplace. For those of us who periodically need sutures between our shoulder blades after the Predators go into their act, this book describes the behavior patterns, tricks, techniques, buzzwords, and body language used - supposedly without detection - by the Predators. Most of us have seen them in different forms - usually too late - but they are pretty much stereotyped to the (sadly) experienced eye. I've classified my own "Predators" into several categories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grayson Coleman-Selby.

Infante's Inferno , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1581min
Hidden behind a cloak of exotic mystery, Cuba is virtually unknown to American citizens. G. Cabrera Infante - in Infante's Inferno and several of his other novels - allows listeners to peek behind the curtain surrounding this island and see the vibrant life that existed there before Fidel Castro's regime. Detailing the sexual education and adventures of the author, Infante's Inferno is a lush, erotic, funny book that provides listeners with insight into what it was like to grow up in pre-revolutionary Havana. Viewing every girl as a potential lover, and the movies as a place both for entertainment and potential sexual escapades, Cabrera Infante captures the adolescent male mindset with a great deal of fun and self-consciousness. With his hallmark of puns and wordplay - excellently translated by Suzanne Jill Levine - Cabrera Infante has hilariously updated the Don Juan myth in a tropical setting. ungekürzt. Language: English.
