A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1150min
I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer, John Muir wrote. "Civilization and fever and all the morbidness that has been hooted at me has not dimmed my glacial eye, and I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness. My own special self is nothing". In Donald Worster's magisterial biography, John Muir's "special self" is fully explored as is his extraordinary ability, then and now, to get others to see the sacred beauty of the natural world. A Passion for Nature is the most complete account of the great conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club ever written. It is the first to be based on Muir's full private correspondence and to meet modern scholarly standards. Yet it is also full of rich detail and personal anecdote, uncovering the complex inner life behind the legend of the solitary mountain man. It traces Muir from his boyhood in Scotland and frontier Wisconsin to his adult life in California after the Civil War and up to his death on the eve of World War I. It explores his marriage and family life, his relationship with his abusive father, his many friendships with the humble and famous (including Theodore Roosevelt and Ralph Waldo Emerson), and his role in founding the modern American conservation movement. Inspired by Muir's passion for the wilderness, Americans created a long and stunning list of national parks and wilderness areas, Yosemite the most prominent. Yet the audiobook also describes a Muir who was a successful fruit-grower, a talented scientist and world-traveler, a doting father and husband, a self-made man of wealth and political influence. A man for whom mountaineering was "a pathway to revelation and worship." For anyone wishing to more fully understand America's first great environmentalist, and the enormous influence he still exerts today, Donald Worster's biography offers a wealth of insight into the passionate nature of a man whose passion for nature remains unsurpassed. ungekürzt.

All in the Family: Family Reunion - Wisdom of the Ancestors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
It’s All in the Family When you know it’s right, you don’t let anything stand in your way. That’s what Tucker Cavanaugh thought on the bright fall day when a vision of loveliness moving like a graceful gazelle crossed his path on the university campus. Abandoning his friends, he gave chase only to lose her in the crowd of students and professors. Still, he pledged to find her again and when he did, he wouldn’t let her slip away. When the young, handsome US Marine medical student approached her, Whitney Ivy Alexander, a law school student, wasn’t looking her best. Yet, one look into Tucker’s handsome face, she knew what they would be together was completely right for the both of them. Still, could their interracial romance withstand the challenges they faced? Dedicated to duty is Commander Helen Marlowe’s mantra. Her Code Name: Helen of Troy or HOT as her counterparts and pals chose to call her. Not because of the temperature or her disposition, but because of her extraordinarily attractive physical features. Assets her camouflage battle dress uniform fatigues, Cammy hat, and aviator shades failed to disguise. No matter how much activity surrounded her, that wickedly handsome man, whose face and physique had been created by the gods on a particularly good day, was stuck in her head, preventing her from operating at full capacity. Independently wealthy US Air Force jet fighter pilot Captain Shawn Baxter Rodgers, Code Name: Hot Rod, stood over six-four with the body of an Adonis, clever hands, and a grin on his too-handsome face that promised endless acts of naughtiness. Shawn’s and Helen’s weekend R&R to Las Vegas produced a daughter Helen had never seen before she disappeared from his life. Shawn was raising their daughter alone, but vowed he’d find the love of his life to make them a family. Could the life he wanted to offer Helen shake her commitment to her secret agent life? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelley Hazen.
