    A Negro League Scrapbook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    Negro league baseball players didn’t always get the respect that major leaguers received. And yet many - including Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Roy Campanella - quickly became standouts in the major leagues after 1947. Others didn’t get to prove their mettle in the majors at all - or not until long past their prime. Leroy “Satchel” Paige mixed his blazing fastball with 29 other devastating pitches to win 42 games and strike out 402 batters in 1936. Credited with 175 stolen bases in one year, speedster James “Cool Papa” Bell delighted fans by scoring from first base on a bunt. And powered by steroid-free meals, Josh Gibson hit 75 homeruns in 1931 - with one blast sailing 580 feet and another shattering a seat in Yankee Stadium. New York Times best-selling author Carole Boston Weatherford compiles an enthralling summary of Negro league history that includes fascinating tidbits about prominent pitchers, hitters, utility players, teams, and traditions. ungekürzt.

    The River Why , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 918min
    The classic novel of fly fishing and spirituality republished with a new afterword by the author. Since its publication in 1983, The River Why has become a classic. David James Duncan's sweeping novel is a coming-of-age comedy about love, nature, and the quest for self-discovery, written in a voice as distinct and powerful as any in American letters. Gus Orviston is a young fly fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own path. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, he sets out in pursuit of the Pacific Northwest's elusive steelhead. But what begins as a physical quarry becomes a spiritual one as his quest for self-knowledge batters him with unforeseeable experiences. Profoundly reflective about our connection to nature and to one another, The River Why is also a comedic roller coaster. Like Gus, the listener emerges utterly changed, stripped bare by the journey Duncan so expertly navigates. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill.

    The Little Big Book of Legs
    Viele liebten The Big Book of Legs, doch auch manch beinharter Bewunderer fand den über 3 kg schweren Brocken schlichtweg zu schwer. Er war zwar vollgepackt mit wohlgeformten Beinen aus einer Zeitspanne von sechs Dekaden - von den ersten verschämt freigelegten Knöcheln der 1910er- und übers Knie gerollten Strümpfen der 1920er-Jahre über die von Nylonstrümpfen und Stöckelschuhen geprägten 40er- und 50er-Jahre bis hin zu den sexuell befreiten 60ern und 70ern -, hinterließ aber unschöne Abdrücke auf den eigenen Oberschenkeln, wenn man sich zu sehr darin vertiefte.Glücklicherweise hören wir von TASCHEN auf ihr Stöhnen - ob aus Lust oder Leid; und deshalb erscheint jetzt diese leichte, handliche Neuausgabe, die über 150 der besten Bilder aus dem Originalband zu einem kompakten (und unter uns: ganz entzückenden) Paket schnürt. Von Betty Grable bis Betty Page stehen hier die besten Beine des 20. Jahrhunderts Spalier, fotografiert von Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager und natürlich dem unvergleichlichen Elmer Batters, Vater der Leg Art. Es gibt Seiden- und Nylonstrümpfe, jede Menge High Heels, geschwungene Waden, straffe Schenkel und verspielte Zehen - und das Ganze ohne lästigen Text. Ein wahrer Festschmaus für Fans und Fetischisten.

    Zodiac Station , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 764min
    An extraordinary thriller set at the frozen edge of the world, perfect for fans of Kate Mosse, Michael Crichton, and Dan Brown. In the Arctic Ocean, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the pack ice. There shouldn't be anyone near them for hundreds of miles. But then a lone skier, half-dead with cold, emerges out of the snow. His name is Tom Anderson, and he is the only survivor of a disaster at Zodiac Station, a scientific research base deep in the Arctic Circle. He tells an incredible story of scientists and spies, of lust and greed, of jealousy, mayhem, and murder. But his tale simply doesn't add up. Whose blood is smeared across his clothes? Why is there a bullet hole through the jacket he's wearing? And why is that jacket labelled with someone else's name? It's clear that more was going on at Zodiac Station than Anderson is telling. And someone else may have survived the disaster, as well...someone who has killed before, and who is willing to kill again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piers Wehener.

    Perfect Once Removed : When Baseball Meant All the World to Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    In the winter of 1956, Phillip Hoose was a gawky, uncoordinated 9-year-old boy just moved to a new town - Speedway, Indiana - and trying to fit into a new school and circle of friends. Baseball was his passion, even though he was terrible at it and constantly shamed by his lack of ability. But he had one thing going for him that his classmates could never have - his second cousin was a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Don Larsen wasn't a star, but he was in the Yankees' rotation. And on October 8, 1956, he pitched perhaps the greatest game that has ever been pitched: a perfect game (27 batters up, 27 out) against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series. It forever changed Phil's life. Perfect, Once Removed, recalls with pitch-perfect clarity the angst and jubilation of Phil Hoose's 9th year. To be published on the 50th anniversary of The Perfect Game, it will be one of the best baseball books of 2006. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Davidson.

    Finding Pegasus: Eddie Grant Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
    A bomb shatters the midnight silence, giving Mark and Kate only seconds to escape before their sailboat turns into a flaming hell. At the same time, a wrecking crew batters down the wall of their shop to steal a crucial tool the CIA needs to prevent a neo-Nazi takeover in Eastern Europe. Only a bump in the night kept their first overnight sail from being their last.Finding Pegasus is the story of an international criminal network marching in lockstep with the neo-Nazi autocrats of Eastern Europe, a paranoid, egocentric American navy admiral, an old and bitter Silicon Valley billionaire, and a retired Hungarian spy who moved to Paris because the food was better.It should have been a perfect crime - witnesses dead, evidence spirited away, police not interested. But Eddie Grant helps Mark McGinley and Kate Hall follow the clues from Biscayne Bay to Paris, then on to the mountains of Hungary. There, the caves hide explosive secrets, and the group must confront a new generation of storm troopers, this time supported by the Russian bear. The second escape is as close as the first. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Barr. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/125110/bk_acx0_125110_sample.mp3.

    Who's on Worst?: The Lousiest Players, Biggest Cheaters, Saddest Goats and Other Antiheroes in Baseball History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min
    A hilarious celebration of the worst in baseball history: the boneheads, cheats, jerks and losers who make the grand old game so fun Libraries and Internet sites are filled to groaning with debates about who the best ballplayers of all time were - but how many times can you argue about Mantle vs. Mays? Since baseball is a game of failure, it's much more fun to dive into the fray and explore baseball's worst: Who was the lousiest pitcher of all-time? The biggest goat? The most despicable owner? The greatest cheater? Filip Bondy wields formidable research, advanced sabermetrics and his considerable wit to provide this indispensable guide to the less glorious side of our national pastime. Each chapter is filled with rich and colorful stories of the players unfortunate enough to be chosen in each category and is followed by a handy top-10 list, such as Most Overpaid Yankees. From a delightful survey of batters who fell below the dreaded "Mendoza Line" to a rundown of managers who had long careers distinguished by relentless losing to a roster of players who took steroids but still stunk, Who's on Worst? is a thoroughly entertaining portrait of the personalities who deserve their place in baseball history as much as the immortals. ungekürzt.

    Grace be a Lady: Love & War in Johnson County, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min
    *Banished and separated from her son, city-girl Grace has to survive in a cowboy’s world. Maybe it’s time to stop thinking like a lady…and act like a man.* Banished to the dusty cow town of Misery for an alleged affair, Grace Hendrick wants nothing more than to get her son away from the clutches of his abusive father, Bull, who is back in Chicago. But if she dares to return home, Bull has promised Grace she'll never see their son again. She has no choice but to accept her situation - temporarily. Struggling to figure a way to survive, she refuses to consider prostitution. The hamlet of Misery, however, isn't brimming over with jobs for respectable women. Fueled by hate and desperation, she concocts a shocking plan to find work. Thad Walker is the middle son of the oldest, most successful cattle baron in Wyoming, and he always puts the ranch first. One chance meeting with Grace Hendrick, though, batters his focus like a hail storm in July. And there couldn't be a worse time to lose his focus with an ugly range war brewing. A true Western saga written in the the vein of Lonesome Dove and Redeeming Love, truth weaves seamlessly with fiction in Grace be a Lady to deliver a stunning tale of love blossoming in a field of violence.                               ungekürzt.

    Kiss It Good-bye: The Mystery, the Mormon, and the Moral of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates, Hörbuch, Digital, 283min
    In 1960, an upstart Pittsburgh Pirates team beat the highly favored New York Yankees in the World Series. Given the power of a Yankee roster that included Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra, that improbably victory did more than give long-suffering Pirates fans something to cheer about; it put Pittsburgh on the map. Though John Moody was only six years old during that magical baseball season, he was a devoted fan of the Pittsburgh team. The star pitcher for the Pirates and John's first hero was Vernon Law - an unsophisticated Idaho country boy, widely known as The Deacon, a friendly nickname derived from his strict Mormon upbringing. Law was a relatively young man at the time and should have enjoyed several more seasons of fame and success, yet his career went into decline following that phenomenal series. In this insightful audiobook, John Moody explores a compelling mystery that has persisted now for nearly 50 years, revealing at last why Vernon Law was unable to continue his dominance of major-league batters. But this is more than just another expose. Recalling a distant time in American sports, Kiss It Good-bye contains a universal theme: a son's affection for his father and the bond that was forged between them because of their love of baseball. It is a audiobook that will be welcomed by fathers, sons, and baseball fans of every age. Language: English. Narrator: John Moody.
