    Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
    For nearly a decade, Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the presidency. Chozick's front-row seat, initially at the Wall Street Journal covering Mrs. Clinton's imploding 2008 campaign, and then at the New York Times where she was assigned "The Hillary Beat", set off a years-long journey in which the formative years of her twenties and thirties became, both personally and professionally, intrinsically intertwined to Clinton's presidential ambitions. As Mrs. Clinton tried, and twice failed, to shatter "that highest hardest glass ceiling", Chozick was trying, with various fits and starts, to scale the highest echelons of American journalism. In a rollicking, hilarious, dishy narrative, Chozick takes us through the high- (and low-) lights of a wildly dramatic presidential race. But Chozick's unique vantage point and candor lift the veil from the story we thought we all knew. Here is the real story of what happened, with the kind of inside detail that constantly surprises and enlightens. But Chasing Hillary is also the unusually personal and moving story of how Chozick came to understand Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and political animal, but as a complete, complex, person, full of contradictions and forged in the crucible of political battles that had long predated Chozick's years covering her. And as Chozick gets engaged, married, buys an apartment, climbs the professional ladder, and inquires about freezing her eggs so she can have children after the 2016 campaign, she dives deeper into decisions Mrs. Clinton had made at similar points in her early career. In the process, Chozick develops an intimate understanding of what drives Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed. And the social fissures in the electorate that would drive angry voters to Donald Trump and blindside Hillary Clinton, unexpectedly bring out the tensions in Chozick's own life - between the re ungekürzt.

    Iron Cross , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1023min, (USK 18)
    Too many penalties may leave the goal vulnerable without the Iron Cross. After overcoming a potentially career-ending concussion, Tyler Vanek, Dartmouth Cobras' first line forward, couldn't be happier with his life. Until his boyhood hero worship for Raif Zovko, a newly acquired player, develops into more. His mistress, "Chicklet", encourages him to explore his feelings, and with her enjoyment of toying with the powerful Dom, Tyler figures it might be fun. Laura Tallent, a dedicated officer with the Halifax PD and Chicklet's first sub, is tired of Tyler's fun disrupting the structure of her world. Devotion to her mistress kept her silent for two years, but a horrible case and more proof that Tyler is the worst sub in existence has her wondering how much better life would be if he was someone else's problem. Someone like Raif. Raif won't deny the lust he feels for Tyler, but he refuses to play games with a young man who's questioning his sexuality - he won't be an experimental phase for an unruly submissive. But when Laura draws him into a plan to remove Tyler from her poly relationship with Chicklet, his protective instincts take over. He partners with Chicklet to protect Tyler and dig deeper into the reasons behind Laura's scheming. Chicklet clearly loves her boy; she won't let him go. And before long Raif realizes neither can he. Blindsided by the discord in her household, Chicklet struggles to fulfill her subs' needs as their careers throw challenges at them all. Control is slipping from her hands, but with Raif by her side, she prays her relationships can be saved. Salvaging the future means rebuilding with a new foundation. But the only way to make the base solid is for them all to work together. And with all the secrecy and lies, she has no idea where to start. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Frangione.

    Creative-C Learning: The Innovative Kindergarten , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    Creative-C Learning: The Innovative Kindergarten - 2017's revised, updated, and reformatted edition - presents a pre-school curriculum for a sane, holistic, brain-smart, and system-literate education of small children. The author's educational approach is tailored to how our brain works and develops from ages two to six. It's a functional approach, not an idealistic one, based on the actual constitution of the human being, with all the complexity inherent in it. The author contends that children are born sane and are rendered more or less insane by an educational system that till now considers the human being as the impossible human, that is, a creature that is basically faulty and has to be improved and upgraded by education, and morality. The present view opposes this age-old educational paradigm and shows that traditional education brings about fragmentation, ignorance, and widespread violence. The present curriculum emphasizes the natural integrity and wholeness of the small child, who is by nature a systems thinker. The curriculum builds upon this fact and presents a way to raise pre-schoolers in a learning environment that fosters systemic thinking capabilities, so that children become system-literate at a young age. The author also emphasizes the need for teaching emotional awareness to teachers and presents techniques to be applied in the vocational training for early child-care workers and pre-school teachers that teach how to cope with stress, and that show the details of the trust-building process both between teachers and students and between parents and teachers. The audience for this guide are all those involved in educating children, as well as educational policy makers, and also parents, educational associations, politicians, pediatricians, and child psychologists, and also the lay public, especially those who are looking for a new way to educate children now and in the future. ungekürzt.

    FrontierWorld , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
    FrontierWorld follows Tommy Ray and Willie Parker and a half dozen other characters as they meet in Seattle to begin their wagon train adventure. Once they arrive at the wagon camp, the group meets Brad Jefferson, the young wagon master who will lead the neo-pioneers through their 14-day journey. Jefferson gives the group strict instructions that everything from the 21st century must stay at the base camp. From this point on, everything will be just as it was in the early 1800s. Julia Hopper had a host of personal reasons for joining the wagon train vacation but, somehow, the very idea of giving up her contact lenses was unacceptable. Just one day into the journey, Julia loses her precious lenses and is forced to deal with life on a primitive wagon train without clear vision. Jack Bramson is another character who needed a fresh start in life. As a middle aged investment banker, Jack was bored with his life. He describes his daily routine as a scene from the movie Groundhog Day. Charlie Caruthers came to the wagon train vacation after 30 years as a steward in the United States Navy. As the only African-American on the vacation, Charlie becomes an interesting figure as the story develops. Jimmy Three-Bears Donovan is a young man who has never spent time in the great outdoors. Jimmy is caught between his Native American roots, his Harvard education, and the Irish Catholic parents who adopted him as an infant. The wagon train vacation was a gift from his dad and was intended to give Jimmy a better view of his roots. Emma Braunstien is a behavioral scientist with the world famous Global Center for the Study of Human Behavior. To elevate her work to the highest level, she devised an experiment that places ordinary people into stressful situations. Of course, a wagon train in the Canadian wilderness is the perfect setting for Emma's experiment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Austin.

    Listen to This , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 871min
    In Listen to This, Alex Ross, the music critic for The New Yorker, looks both backward and forward in time, capturing essential figures and ideas in classical-music history, as well as giving an alternative view of recent pop music that emphasizes the power of the individual musical voice in whatever genre. Ross combines a selection of his New Yorker essays with new material that will serve as an introduction to some basic classical-music concepts and figures and will give an alternative view of recent pop music. It will demonstrate the essential equality of great musical creators in whatever genre. It begins with 'Listen to This', his most famous New Yorker essay, an autobiographical account of his early passion for classical music and belated discovery of pop music in college. It sets forth the themes of the book as a whole: how classical music can become a vital part of wider contemporary culture, how it can survive and even prosper in the face of proclamations of its decline. There follows a new essay tracing the history of the chaconne, a dance form based on a descending bass line, which originated as an erotic Afro-Caribbean dance in the 16th century, then migrated to Europe and inspired such Baroque masterpieces as Bach's Chaconne in D minor, and later found echoes in the bass lines both of 20th-century classical masterpieces and African-American blues. Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused' and Bob Dylan's 'Simple Twist of Fate', among other songs, extend the principle. This chapter develops, in a less personal way, the themes of 'Listen to This', and serves as a kind of whirlwind tour of five centuries of music history. Third in the introductory section is 'The Record Effect', an account of technology's impact on pop and classical music. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alex Ross.

    Communication Skills: Communication Skills Training for All Areas of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    Man is a social being. Communication is probably as vital for him as breathing. The process is vital not just from the point of sharing knowledge, facts, and information, but also feelings, thoughts, and emotions. It helps people share ideas, philosophy, and concept. It gives you access to knowledge around the world. The most important value of communication is that it helps you forge meaningful social and interpersonal relationships. Society and relationships will stagnate without the tool of communication. Imagine a society or people that do not communicate or swap ideas. It isn’t an overstatement to say that communication is the cornerstone of human relationships. Initially, strangers get to know one another only through communication. Then, relationships are developed and there is greater interaction, which develops into strong bonds. Communication assists us in expressing our ideas, emotions, and feelings while also helping us understand the feelings and emotions of other people. As a consequence of this, we either develop negative or constructive emotions towards others. One of the biggest tools that man has which differentiates him from other creatures is the power to communicate effectively through various means. Think of it as a hammer or any other tool. It can be used for hitting a nail on the wall or as a weapon of destruction.Communication can be used positively to create more meaningful and effective relationships that help you rise in life or be used as a weapon of destruction to damage relationships. Think about this. Just make a list of the number of people you communicate with on a daily basis from the elevator operator in your office who greets you every morning to the cab driver to your co-workers to your partner. How many people do you communicate with daily?Think of a scenario where you are upset with someone. They’ve been hurting you for a while and you want them to stop without being rude or spoiling your relatio ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brooke Pillifant.
