    My Father's Kingdom: A Novel of Puritan New England , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
    In 1620, more than 100 devout men and women crossed the treacherous Atlantic Ocean and established a colony in the New World where they could build a righteous and Godly society. Without the fortuitous friendship of the Wampanoag people and their charismatic leader Massasoit, however, it is doubtful the holy experiment would have survived. Fifty years later Plymouth Colony has not only survived, it has prospered, and more and more Englishmen are immigrating to New England. The blessed alliance with the Wampanoag, however, is in severe jeopardy. Massasoit has passed away along with most of the original settlers of Plymouth Colony, and their children and grandchildren have very different ideas about their historic friendship. Thrust into the center of events is Reverend Israel Brewster, an idealistic young minister with a famous grandfather and a tragic past. Meanwhile, Massasoit's son, known as "King Philip" by the English, is tormented by both the present and the past. He is watching the resources and culture of the Wampanoag nation fade away at the hands of the English and desperately wishes to restore hope and security to his people. In a world of religious fervor, devastating sickness, and incessant greed, can the alliance of their forefathers survive? Or will New England feel the wrath of tragic, bloody war? ungekürzt.

    Simply Riemann: Great Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
    Born to a poor Lutheran pastor in what is today the Federal Republic of Germany, Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) was a child math prodigy who began studying for a degree in theology before formally committing to mathematics in 1846, at the age of 20. Though he would live for only another 20 years (he died of pleurisy during a trip to Italy), his seminal work in a number of key areas - several of which now bear his name - had a decisive impact on the shape of mathematics in the succeeding century and a half. In Simply Riemann, author Jeremy Gray provides a comprehensive and intellectually stimulating introduction to Riemann’s life and paradigm-defining work. Beginning with his early influences - in particular, his relationship with his renowned predecessor Carl Friedrich Gauss - Gray goes on to explore Riemann’s specific contributions to geometry, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, and functions of a real variable, which opened the way to discovering the limits of the calculus. He shows how without Riemannian geometry, cosmology after Einstein would be unthinkable, and he illuminates the famous Riemann hypothesis, which many regard as the most important unsolved problem in mathematics today. With admirable concision and clarity, Simply Riemann opens the door on one of the most profound and original thinkers of the 19th century - a man who pioneered the concept of a multidimensional reality and who always saw his work as another way to serve God. ungekürzt.

Our minds are our primary tools for negotiating the pressures, challenges and distractions presented by this action-packed world.

    The Bockhampton Road Murders: Reverend Paltoquet Mystery Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
    Sometimes we’re not alone....What is the secret behind the brutal murders that have taken place sporadically over the last century in a small, insignificant South London terraced house?  The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet is determined to find out when two of his favorite parishioners are found with their heads caved in in front of the ornate Victorian fireplace by their five-year-old son, Henry Freeman. This fireplace seems to be the key to the puzzle. Despite years of neglect, the living room hearth is always spotlessly clean, like the day it was installed. Why? This novel centers around the Reverend Paltoquet and his search for the truth. The other chief protagonist is Edith Lomax, an unhappily married doctor’s wife, who resides in 57 Bockhampton Road, where the first murders take place back in 1896. This triple murder of a man and two children sets in train the series of murders that are to follow. The search for the truth, which involves another six murders by the same fireplace in the same room in the same house following on from the first murders, culminates in the present day with an exorcism that doesn’t work. We discover that there are many restless spirits trapped in the house, forced to remain by the violence of their deaths, and unable to communicate with the living world until a medium helps to set them free. Reverend Paltoquet’s close friend, Dorothy Plunkett, is that medium. He calls on her to help these spirits to their final rest, and this is when we learn the truth behind the murders and the real perpetrator of the crimes.  Titles in the Reverend Paltoquet Mystery Series are:  The Bockhampton Road Murders Haunted Christmas The Possession of November Jones The Witches of Wandsworth So Long at the Fair The Man Who Was Death The Dark Side of the Mirror  ungekürzt.

    The Top 85 Mistakes Brazilians Make in English , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    The Top 85 Mistakes Brazilians Make in English was written specifically for Brazilians studying English. The author of this book is an experienced native English teacher who has been working in Sao Paulo for almost five years. During this time he has taught a variety of students, ranging from CEOs of multinational companies to kids, models and journalists, from housewives and actors to a whole host of professionals in between. It didn't take him too long to realize that the same mistakes were being made by these students again and again and again! This is when he came up with the idea of writing a book on the common mistakes he hears his Brazilian students making. Knowing these mistakes is one thing, being able to remember them when speaking English is another. So as well as pointing out common errors, this book also offers some tips and explanations on how to make those mistakes a thing of the past! You will soon notice that this is definitely not your average English book. It dares to go where the more traditional books don't. As a result you can expect to hear about things Brazilians say that are likely to make a native English speaker laugh; those common mistakes that are either going to sound sexual, could embarrass the person you're talking to, or are likely to just sound very, very funny! If your English is of an upper intermediate/advanced level and you are interested in knowing the mistakes your English teacher hears on a daily basis (or those embarrassing mistakes you definitely don't want to be making in meetings with your international colleagues!), The Top 85 Mistakes Brazilians Make in English is the book for you! So, how many of these 85 mistakes do you make? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus Freathy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/083451/bk_acx0_083451_sample.mp3.
