Notes from Underground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
Dostoevsky’s Underground Man is a composite of the tormented clerk and the frustrated dreamer of his earlier stories, but his Notes from the Underground is a precursor of his great later novels and their central concern with the nature of free will. Initially musing on his “sickness” and the detested notion of self-interest, the maladjusted and willful Underground Man turns to a series of incidents from years earlier. Scornful of others and of himself, he recounts a party he attended at which, unwelcome, he got drunk and acted scandalously, the visit to a brothel that ensued, and the chance arrival there of love—love which, of course, by his very nature he cannot accept, and so debases. Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of the greatest, most influential prose writers of all time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ken Kliban.

Ghost-ish: Lazarus: New Sentinels, Volume 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
A year ago, Cameron Tourvell had a really bad day. That day she was killed in a literal train wreck. The only problem was that she forgot to die. She found out that for her, death was only the beginning. Hunted by the black-site government group Lazarus, Cameron must avoid capture as she comes to terms with her new reality. Whenever she is injured, she simply loses pieces of herself as they are replaced by a transparent ectoplasm. She realizes she is no longer a normal maladjusted woman in New York; now she is sort of ghost-ish. With the help of other women with extraordinary abilities, Sentinels, she tries to end the threat of Lazarus once and for all, even though she fears if she loses too much of herself, she will cease to be. Cam and the Raven Maids, Fates, and even a ship's captain with extraordinary abilities find that old enemies are gathering and everything may not be as it seems. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Case for the Only Child: Your Essential Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 331min
Although parenting approaches change, attitudes about only children remain stuck in the past.

The Case for the Only Child debunks the myths, taking into account the many changes the nuclear family has experienced in the face of two-family incomes, women who have children later, and the economic reality of raising children in our modern world. Combining often-surprising findings with real-life stories, compassionate insight, and thought-provoking questions, Dr. Susan Newman provides a guide to help you decide for yourself how to best plan your family and raise a single child.Provides fascinating facts and statistics to show the reasons for the rapid risein the number of singletonsExplores pressure from friends, relatives, and strangers to have a second child...and how to deal with itDemystifies the realities of raising and being an only child with personal stories and current researchExplores the highly debated question: Does a child need a sibling? ungekürzt.

A Dog Year: The Story of a Maladjusted Therapist and the Homeless Shih Tzus That Rescued Her, Hörbuch, Digital, 314min
The obsessively controlled world of a high-strung therapist begins to come apart when she inherits a pair of old, neurotic Shih Tzus.Ever since getting sober a few years ago, Allison Hilborn-Tatro has been dedicated to achieving what she calls "radical stability" in her life. She’s up before five each morning and asleep by nine every night. Her days as a family therapist and mother to one good-natured Labradoodle are orchestrated down to the minute, with little room for anything unexpected to barge in and knock her off the wagon.That is, until the death of a neighbor she barely knew leaves her in possession of his two orphaned Shih Tzus. Not long after Coco and Nikki arrive at her door, Allison can feel her white-knuckled grip on her own existence start to slip. At first, her furry new wards demand more space in her life - and in her bed - than Allison’s willing to make for them. Before long, Coco and Nikki have not only barged into her tightly wound world, they’ve taken over. But instead of knocking her off the wagon, as she feared, they just might set her free.Irreverent, honest, and utterly life affirming, A Dog Year reveals the ways in which a dog’s love can avail us to parts of ourselves we didn’t know were there. All the while Allison thought she was rescuing Coco and Nikki, she never expected they would be the ones saving her. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell.

Honey, We Forgot the Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min
If we judge the West by the state of its families, the West is sick. Millions of children barely see their parents, or for only a few minutes a day. One in two families break down, for better or worse. The casualties throng the family courts. Our maladjusted system has made the ideal of 'mom' and 'dad' - i.e. a loving, constant, adult presence in a child's infancy - a rarity. To speak of the 'maternal instinct' still elicits scorn or embarrassment from some feminists, who continue to mock 'holy motherhood'. This single is a defense of parents and children. It does not suggest a return to the 1950s. On the contrary, it champions the 'New Family', which most policymakers, companies, religions, and social conservatives have failed to accept or keep pace with (read on to find out what the New Family is). The resulting policy drag - the failure to transform notions of childcare, the workplace, and parental leave to match new social realities - has had devastating consequences for the family, especially that exhausted, unsung heroine, the working mother. Drawing on the latest research, Paul Ham and Bernie Brown hope to bring fresh thinking to one of the oldest and most difficult challenges: how best to raise children. We offer 12 'Modest Proposals' that might better attune the West to the needs of the New Family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aaron Abano.

The Golden Swift (eBook, ePUB)
The thrilling sequel to #1 NYT bestselling author Lev Grossman's The Silver Arrow, in which Kate and Tom confront the limits of what even magic can do. A lot has changed for Kate in a year. She and Tom are now fully-fledged conductors of the steam-powered, animal-saving Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. Life is good! Or good-ish anyway. Her Uncle Herbert has gone missing, and the worsening climate means that there are more and more animals that need help all the time. How many times does Kate have to save the world before it stays saved? And her real life isn't exactly perfect either. She flunked her audition for the junior high musical and got stuck in the chorus, while her arch-enemy Jag got a lead. So out of desperation Kate breaks the rules and takes the Silver Arrow out on an unsanctioned mission, to find Uncle Herbert, bring back balance to the world, and get away from her real life for a little, enlisting help from a deadly cassowary and a socially maladjusted wolverine along the way. But she quickly discovers she's not the only one out there on the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. There's a mysterious train called the Golden Swift out there too, with an agenda of its own. Is it an ally? A rival? An enemy? A bit of all three? The question will turn Kate's world upside down, take her from the Scottish Highlands to the Australian outback to the bottom of the Bering Sea, and lead her straight on a collision course with the mysterious masters of the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway itself. Because when you're a human being fighting to save nature, are you the hero or are you the villain? There are no simple answers.- Shop: buecher
