Let It Burn: Alex McKnight, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
Even though Alex McKnight swore to serve and protect Detroit as a police officer, a trip to Motown these days is a trip to a past he’d just as soon forget. The city will forever remind him of his partner’s death and of the bullet still lodged in his own chest. So he’s more than happy to stay in the little town of Paradise, 300 miles and half a lifetime away. Then he gets a call from his old sergeant. It turns out that a young man Alex helped put away will be getting out of prison. That one big case marked the highlight of his career, before his partner was killed, before his marriage fell apart, before he left Detroit, forever. Now that man is about to walk free. When the sergeant invites Alex downstate to have a drink for old times’ sake, it’s an offer he would normally refuse. However, there’s a certain female FBI agent he can’t stop thinking about, so he gets in his truck and goes back to Detroit. While there, he’s reminded of something about that last case, a seemingly small piece of the puzzle that he never got to share. It’s not something anyone wants to hear, but Alex can’t let go of this gut feeling that they arrested the wrong man. And that the real killer not only got away, but went on to kill again. And again. And again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan John Miller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/005135/bk_brll_005135_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Empire of Water: An Environmental and Political History of the New York City Water Supply , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 702min
Supplying water to millions is not simply an engineering and logistical challenge. As David Soll shows in his finely observed history of the nation’s largest municipal water system, the task of providing water to New Yorkers transformed the natural and built environment of the city, its suburbs, and distant rural watersheds. Almost as soon as New York City completed its first municipal water system in 1842, it began to expand the network, eventually reaching far into the Catskill Mountains, more than one hundred miles from the city.Empire of Water explores the history of New York City’s water system - from the late 19th century to the early 21st century - focusing on the geographical, environmental, and political repercussions of the city’s search for more water. By tracing the evolution of the city’s water conservation efforts and watershed management regime, Soll reveals the tremendous shifts in environmental practices and consciousness that occurred during the 20th century.Few episodes better capture the long-standing upstate-downstate divide in New York than the story of how mountain water came to flow from spigots in Brooklyn and Manhattan. His account of this unlikely environmental success story offers a "behind the scenes" perspective on the nation’s most ambitious and wide-ranging watershed protection program.The book is published by Cornell University Press.

Beyond the Grey Sky: The Incredible True Story of a Tragic Loss Which Led One Survivor to Meaning, Redemption and Hope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
Suicide claims over one million lives worldwide, each year. In the United States alone, suicide has become the second leading cause of death among people aged 10 to 35. It has literally become a national epidemic resulting in 47,000 deaths per year, or more than twice the number of homicides. Beyond the Grey Sky is the first major publication of its kind to truly help explain the impacts of suicide on both our physical and spiritual beings. It tells the incredible true story of a tragic death and a survivor’s unique journey that will forever change what we believe and know about suicide. Praise for Beyond the Grey Sky:“Dustin Ruge, departing from his previous best-selling books, pours his heart out in Beyond the Grey Sky. Approaching the 17th anniversary of his brother David’s death by suicide, with unvarnished prose and rich anecdotes, he captures the essence of their relationship and his personal journey of healing. Like so many who die by suicide, David didn’t always feel like he fit into the world we live in. Ruge is a gifted writer - I was transported from laughing out loud (ala David Sedaris) into being moved to tears. This book is a must-read for everyone, not just survivors of suicide loss.” (Michael F. Myers, MD, professor of clinical psychiatry, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY, and author of Touched by Suicide: Hope and Healing After Loss (with Carla Fine) and Why Physicians Die by Suicide: Lessons Learned from Their Families and Others Who Cared)“This is one of the most powerful books on suicide we have ever read. We believe that if everybody could read this incredible story they would not consider suicide.” (Dale and Dar (Darlene) Emme, Founders of Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program)"Beyond the Gray Sky by Dustin Ruge is his own soul-searching journey in the aftermath of his step brother's suicide. He shares the experience of his shatt ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ric Chetter. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/182313/bk_acx0_182313_sample.mp3.
