University of Michigan Where Have You Gone?: Gene Derricotte, Garvie Craw, Jake Sweeney, and Other Wolverines Greats , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
The numbers appear to be incongruous. The University of Michigan has won more football games than any other Division I-A school, yet the program has only produced three Heisman Trophy winners and precious few winners of other individual awards. The numbers are understandable, however. The focus of Michigan football has always been on the team rather than the individual. "The Team, The Team, The Team" has for decades been one of the program’s best known mantras. No one player, not even someone worthy of the Heisman, is considered greater than anyone else. Team goals come first. Still, the storied history of the Michigan football program is composed mostly of the exploits of its players. While that history might start with the likes of Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard, and Charles Woodson, it does not end there. For every Heisman Trophy winner, there are hundreds of other players who helped to make the Michigan winged helmet the most recognized symbol in college football. University of Michigan Where Have You Gone? offers a look at 50 of those other players. Some had a singular moment that would forever define their careers. Others played an exceptional game, in many cases against the Wolverines’ biggest rivals. Still others are remembered for a marvelous season. All of them helped Michigan become, as the words to the school’s fight song suggest "The leaders and best" and "the champions of the West." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Kane.

Sex and the City, TV Milestones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
With its bold depiction of four female friends navigating the pitfalls of Manhattan’s dating scene, Sex and the City, which aired on HBO from 1998 to 2004, was a unique television drama that evolved into a ubiquitous and widely debated cultural phenomenon. Deborah Jermyn’s Sex and the City investigates the program’s critical and popular success as well as its lasting cultural impact. To give listeners a complete picture of Sex and the City, Jermyn draws on close textual analysis of selected episodes, existing critical work on the program, testimonies from its stars and producers, and intertextual evidence ranging from the Sex and the City bus tour to fan guides and websites. In this volume Jermyn explores the show’s characters, its careful generic balance of comedy and drama, its mix of both fantasy and realism, and its dedication to the intricacies of women’s friendships. Jermyn notes that in the course of its six seasons Sex and the City emerged as a kind of controversial shorthand to explore the zeitgeist among a generation of post-feminist TV audiences, each week considering issues surrounding femininity, feminism, sexuality, consumerism, and women’s lifestyle choices. Jermyn argues that, in short, Sex and the City’s success and wider cultural impact invite us not just to analyze the particular accomplishments of its writing, design, and performances but to recognize the contribution and significance that television can have on public debate and life outside "the box". With the 2008 release of a full-length - and long-awaited - feature film version of Sex and the City, the series proves itself once again to be timely and relevant. Fans of the series as well as scholars of television history will enjoy Jermyn’s insightful study. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colleen Patrick.

Scientific Freedom: The Elixir of Civilization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 609min
A revolutionary and timely proposal for reinvigorating transformative scientific discovery, written by a preeminent leader in Venture Research.So rich was the scientific harvest of the early 20th century that it transformed entire industries and economies. Max Planck laid the foundation for quantum physics, Barbara McClintock for modern genetics, Linus Pauling for chemistry - the list goes on. In the 1970s, the nature of scientific work started to change. Increases in public funding for scientific research brought demands that spending be justified; a system of peer review that selected only the research proposals promising the greatest returns; and a push for endless, short-term miracles instead of in-depth, boundary-pushing research. A vicious spiral of decline began.In Scientific Freedom, Donald W. Braben presents a framework to find and support cutting-edge, much-needed scientific innovation. Braben - who led British Petroleum’s Venture Research initiative, which aimed to identify and aid researchers challenging current scientific thinking - explains:The conditions that catalyzed scientific research in the early 20th centuryThe costs to society of our current research modelThe changing role of the university as a research institutionHow BP’s Venture Research initiative succeeded by minimizing bureaucracy and peer review, and the program’s impactThe selection, budget, and organizational criteria for implementing a Venture Research program todayEven in the earliest stages, transformative and groundbreaking research can look unrecognizable to those who are accustomed to the patterns established by the past. Support for this research can, in fact, be low-risk and offer rich rewards, but it requires rethinking the processes used to discover and sponsor scientists with groundbreaking ideas - and then giving those innovators the freedom to explore. ungekürzt.

Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
Since the first Martian “canals” were charted in 1877, space aliens have captivated skygazers, night travelers, and television-watchers worldwide. Polls show that nearly half of all Americans believe in extraterrestrials, and many are convinced they’ve visited Earth. A fair number of scientists also suspect that aliens exist, and for decades they’ve been seriously searching - using powerful antennas and computers to scan for radio waves coming from other star systems. This engaging memoir reveals the true story of the Search for ExtraterrestrialIntelligence (SETI), and discloses what we may very soon discover. Chronicling the program’s history with insight and humor, SETI senior astronomer Seth Shostak assures us that if there is sentient life in the universe, we are within decades of picking up its signal. Methodically busting urban legends about alien crash landings, crop circles, and the like, Shostak pits scientific truth against speculation and delivers important news on the state of our knowledge. He answers a host of questions about SETI, including where its antennas are aimed…how we know which frequency to monitor…what our response might be…and why, if a signal is detected, “it will be one that’s deliberately beamed into space, not the Klingon equivalent of I Love Lucy.” Contrary to popular opinion, any aliens found by SETI will not resemble the squishy, big-eyed creatures on cinema screens. Rather, they will have already invented their successors: super smart post-biological thinking machines vastly beyond our own capabilities. Edgy, amusing, and remarkably profound, Confessions of an Alien Hunter addresses the startling possibilities awaiting us in deep space and in humankind’s own future. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Viking Program: The History and Legacy of NASA's First Missions to Mars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min
Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System.In fact, the Soviet Union had spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. And in 1960, when Eisenhower’s administration began planning and funding for the famous Apollo program that would land the first men on the Moon in 1969, the Soviet Union was already thinking further ahead, literally. In one of the worst kept secrets of the Space Race, the Soviet Union launched two probes, Korabl 4 and Korabl 5, toward Mars in October 1960.Even had the Soviet Union managed to keep the probes a secret, it wouldn’t have mattered because both probes fell out of the sky before reaching Earth’s orbit. The Soviets’ rocket systems had failed, which would be a recurring problem for them throughout the 1960s.Several years before Mariner 9’s successful orbiting mission, NASA had begun designing missions for unmanned landings on Mars that would use a spacecraft consisting of an orbiter module and a landing module. The design of the modular spacecraft came from NASA’s successful use of a similar spacecraft delivery system for the Apollo program’s manned missions to the Moon.Both Viking landers were huge successes just for landing on Mars and transmitting data, but they would end up exceeding NASA’s wildest expectations. NASA hoped the Viking missions would provide better images of Mars’ surface and t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare.

Game of My Life: Alabama: Memorable Stories of Crimson Tide Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
To borrow the slogan offered over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address system before the start of every Alabama home game, "This is Alabama football." Ask a fan to talk about his favorite game and he’ll probably answer, "Which season?" Ask another to describe his favorite Crimson Tide play, and he may also respond the same way. And if asking an Alabama fan to recall his favorite player, don’t be surprised if you are asked to be more specific: "Which year? Which game? Which position?" Such is the tradition and legacy of the program. The tradition connects former coaches and players to the current team, and fans from the program’s early days to those of today. Written by Tommy Hicks, who has worked for five newspapers in the state of Alabama over a 30-year span, Game of My Life: Alabama offers a view from field level and in the huddle as 30 Alabama players share the experiences and emotions of the favorite games of their careers. From Harry Gilmer and his excellent play in the 1946 Rose Bowl to Brodie Croyle leading Alabama to an impressive win over Florida in the 2005 season, Alabama has had more than its share of great moments, great games, and great players. Game of My Life: Alabama focuses on 30 of those moments, 30 of those games, 30 of those players. You’ll discover the simple advice and prediction head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant gave his team before the 1967 Auburn game won by quarterback Ken Stabler’s famous "run in the mud". You’ll also be given an insider’s view of a favorite game for Ken Stabler, Mike Shula, Brodie Croyle, Lee Roy Jordan, Cornelius Bennett, Billy Neighbors, Woodrow Lowe, Joey Jones, Bobby Humphrey, and many others. Game of My Life: Alabama highlights some of the games and moments that have added to the tradition of Alabama football. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Souer.

The Jack Benny Program, Collection 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
Jack Benny liked to portray himself as a skinflint but his generosity as a comic allowed other characters to get their fair share of laughs...usually at his expense. Benny got more laughs playing the straight man and didn’t care if he was the butt of the jokes. With his brilliant timing, smooth delivery, and trademark mannerisms, Benny was a huge influence on the development of the radio sitcom. References to Benny’s reputed stinginess, vanity, and infirmities were expected and weekly running gags established the program’s memorable characters. Benny’s real wife, Mary, was his sarcastic female friend; Phil Harris, the brash bandleader, Dennis Day the eager juvenile, Rochester the lovable butler and Don Wilson, the overweight announcer. Jack got his big break as a guest on The Ed Sullivan Radio Show in 1932 and was soon signed to his own show. Highlights included the long-running feud with fellow comedian Fred Allen, gags featuring a pet polar bear, and material about Jack’s run-down Maxwell jalopy. He insisted he was never older than 39, was a skinflint, and had difficulty playing “Love in Bloom” on his violin. A regular performer for more than two decades on radio, Jack made a seamless transition to television. 5/29/49 “Guest: Margaret Whiting” 9/25/49 “Guests: Edgar Bergan, Red Skelton and Amos N’ Andy” 3/12/50 “Jack wins the Sagebrush Soap Contest” 3/19/50 ”Cast Does a Sketch on ‘The Champion’” 5/14/50 “Guests: Frankie Fontaine and Vivian Blaine” 5/27/51 “Jack Goes to the Doctor and Cast Unhappy with Contracts” 4/26/53 “Guest: Fred Allen and Memories about Vaudeville” 11/15/53 “The Cast is Rehearsing for Jack’s TV show” 1/24/54 “The Cast Presents ‘The Shooting of Dan McGrew’” 6/6/54 “The Last Show of the Season and Jack is off to Dallas” 3/6/55 “Guest: Danny Kaye and Warner Brothers plans ‘The Jack Benny Story’” 4/24/55 “Jack Rents His Maxwell to 20th Century Fox to Us Language: English.
