    Everest - The First Ascent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 875min
    On 29 May, 1953, the summit of Mount Everest was finally reached. The achievement brought fame and honours to many involved - except the man who made the ascent possible. Now, for the first time, drawing upon previously unseen diaries and letters, rare archive material and interviews, Everest - The First Ascent tells the remarkable story of Griffith Pugh, the forgotten team member whose scientific breakthroughs ensured the world’s highest mountain could be climbed. A doctor and physiologist, Griffith Pugh revolutionised almost every aspect of British high-altitude mountaineering, transforming the climbers’ attitude to oxygen, the clothes they wore, their equipment, fluid intake, and acclimatisation. Yet, far from receiving the acclaim he was due, he was met with suspicion and ridicule. His scientific contributions were, quite simply, at odds with old-fashioned notions of derring-do and the gentlemanly amateurism that dogged the sport. This insightful biography shows Pugh to be troubled, abrasive, yet brilliant. Eight years in the writing, closely researched, and told with unflinching honesty by Pugh’s daughter, Harriet Tuckey, Everest - The First Ascent is the compelling portrait of an unlikely hero. ungekürzt.

    Severin Presents: The Island of Dr. Moreau: by H.G. Wells , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
    The Island of Dr. Moreau is the definitive novel of human horror by H. G. Wells (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man), the English author hailed as "The Father of Sci-Fi". When a shipwreck survivor is brought to the remote island compound of once-eminent physiologist Dr. Moreau, he will discover that the disgraced surgeon is now creating a hybrid race of human/animal beings. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity and the grisly extremes of science’s interference with nature. Are we not men?The Island of Dr. Moreau - which Wells himself described as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy" - is a classic of early science fiction and remains one of the author’s best-known novels. Its popular film adaptations throughout the 20th century have included memorable performances by Charles Laughton (1933), Burt Lancaster (1977), and Marlon Brando (1996) as the mad doctor.This special Severin edition of The Island of Dr. Moreau is narrated by Richard Stanley, the acclaimed South African writer/director of Hardware, Dust Devil, and Color Out of Space. In the mid-90s, Stanley’s pursuit of a modern epic adaptation of Wells’ novel met an unprecedented storm of disasters that included monstrous egos, production chaos, temporary insanity, and witchcraft, all of which was chronicled in the award-winning Severin Films documentary Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau. ungekürzt.

    Other Men's Daughters: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 467min
    Harvard physiologist Robert Merriwether has four whip-smart children, an attractive and intelligent wife, and a successful, stimulating career. True, he and Sarah have not slept together in years, and when he decides to stay behind in Cambridge for the summer while the rest of the family vacations in Maine, his newfound freedom is deeply unsettling. But that does not mean that Merriwether wants to change his life or feels unloved. To a man of science, desire is nothing more than a biological reaction. And Merriwether's personal philosophy is that once you're in your 40s, real love is nothing but lust and nostalgia. Then Cynthia Ryder walks into his life. Twenty years old, she is beautiful, intelligent, witty, and kind. And, to Merriwether's great surprise, she wants to be with him. Initially, he evades her advances, sure that hers is just a passing fancy. But as he gets to know her better, Merriwether realizes that Cynthia is more mature than he first suspected and that the joy he feels when they are together has been missing from his life for a long, long time. When the summer ends and their need for each other does not fade, Merriwether realizes that he is being given a chance at true love. The question is, will he be brave enough to take it? Considered by many critics to be Richard Stern's finest novel, Other Men's Daughters is a tender, honest, witty, and life-affirming portrait of a love as transcendent as it is unlikely. ungekürzt.

    Understanding ECG: The Complete Guide to 12-Lead EKG Interpretation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
    Electrocardiography is the technique by which the electrical activities of the heart are studied. The spread of excitation through myocardium (the heart muscle) produces a local electrical potential. This causes the flow of small currents through the body, which acts as a volume conductor. These small currents can be picked up from the surface of the body by using suitable electrodes and recorded in the form of the electrocardiogram. This technique was discovered by Dutch physiologist Einthoven Willem, who is considered the father of the ECG.An electrocardiograph is an instrument by which the electrical activities of the heart are recorded. An electrocardiogram is a record or the graphical registration of electrical activities of the heart, which occur prior to the onset of mechanical activities. It is the summed electrical activity of all the cardiac muscle fibers recorded from the surface of the body. The electrocardiogram is recorded in 12 leads. The electrodes are fixed on the limbs. Usually, right arm, left arm, and left leg is chosen. The heart is said to be in the center of an imaginary equilateral triangle drawn by connecting the roots of these three limbs. This triangle is called Einthoven’s triangle. The electrical potential generated from the heart appears simultaneously on the roots of these three limbs.The electrocardiogram has great application in cardiovascular physiology, and the heart health as a whole. This book, which can be listened to in less than 24 hours will furnish you with the skills you need to totally crush ECG and its interpretation. With it, you can successfully tackle NCLEX at first sitting! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tondalaya Brainard.

    Thinner This Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min
    Flying in the face of our quick-fix culture, the New York Times best-selling Younger Next Year and its sequel, Younger Next Year for Women, crossed the 1,000,000-copy milestone by essentially telling readers to work out six days a week. Forever. This same honest, no shortcuts approach is woven into the DNA of Thinner This Year. Chris Crowley, the memorable patient and coauthor of Younger Next Year, partners with Jen Sacheck, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist from Tufts University, and in lively, alternating chapters they spell out a weight-loss plan that will have readers lose up to 25 pounds in the first six months - and keep it off for life. The message is straightforward and based on the most up-to-date nutritional science: Avoid "dead," i.e., nutrient-poor, foods, particularly the SOFAS (solid fats, added sugars) choices that comprise more than a third of our diet. Design your plate to be 50% vegetables and fruits, 25% whole grains, and 25% lean proteins. Skip the supplements. Never drink your calories. And exercise. Exercise, the authors emphasize, is the great flywheel of weight loss. And whereas Younger Next Year told you why to exercise six days a week - Thinner This Year tells you how to eat and how to exercise, from the best aerobic workouts to a lifetime supply of 25 whole-body strength exercises - the "Sacred 25"- that will build muscle, protect joints, and add mobility. Exercise will do more than anything else to put off 70% of "normal" aging until the very end and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. ungekürzt. Language: English.
