    Flaming? (eBook, PDF)
    Male-centered theology, a dearth of men in the pews, and an overrepresentation of queer males in music ministry: these elements coexist within the spaces of historically black Protestant churches, creating an atmosphere where simultaneous heteropatriarchy and "real" masculinity anxieties, archetypes of the "alpha-male preacher", the "effeminate choir director" and homo-antagonism, are all in play. The "flamboyant" male vocalists formed in the black Pentecostal music ministry tradition, through their vocal styles, gestures, and attire in church services, display a spectrum of gender performances - from "hyper-masculine" to feminine masculine - to their fellow worshippers, subtly protesting and critiquing the otherwise heteronormative theology in which the service is entrenched. And while the performativity of these men is characterized by cynics as "flaming," a similar musicalized "fire" - that of the Holy Spirit - moves through the bodies of Pentecostal worshippers, endowing them religio-culturally, physically, and spiritually like "fire shut up in their bones". Using the lenses of ethnomusicology, musicology, anthropology, men's studies, queer studies, and theology, Flaming?: The Peculiar Theo-Politics of Fire and Desire in Black Male Gospel Performance observes how male vocalists traverse their tightly-knit social networks and negotiate their identities through and beyond the worship experience. Author Alisha Jones ultimately addresses the ways in which gospel music and performance can afford African American men not only greater visibility, but also an affirmation of their fitness to minister through speech and song.

    Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 205min
    When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora's Box of unimaginable illness and death.Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes listeners through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the 20th-century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure.In the second edition, he explains how electrical exposure does its damage and how electricity is causing our current epidemics of asthma, diabetes, and obesity.Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi, and Wi-max systems, broadband Internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    Wake Up!: You Are Not You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 212min
    Why do most people wander through life with a sense of an existential emptiness they are unable to neither fill nor explain? A sense that there is something bigger and more important they should be doing with their lives, if only they knew what it was? Why do people make the same mistakes over and over again, and consequently fail to be happy? In Wake Up!: You Are Not You, Ruth and Yechezkel Madanes explain who we really are and what we are here for, as well as who we are not and what we aren't here for. They will help you discover that two voices coexist inside yourself: one that knows the correct thing to do, and the other that wants to just do as it pleases.Think about this: If you know what do you need to do, then who is doing the opposite? Combining their extensive background in personality types, coaching, and spirituality, Ruth and Yechezkel Madanes are helping people around the world to unmask and uncover their false self, identify the characteristics of their ego, and thus understand why they keep repeating the same mistakes.Once we discover who we are not, we are able to connect with our real selves and unleash the hidden power of the soul in our daily lives. ungekürzt.

    The Narcissist You Know: Defending Yourself Against Extreme Narcissists in an All-About-Me Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    In the tradition of The Sociopath Next Door, clinical psychologist Joseph Burgo's The Narcissist You Know is a guide to help you identify, disarm, and coexist with extreme narcissists. In today's social media and selfie-obsessed culture, we are living in an age of narcissism - and a society that often celebrates this potentially harmful trait rather than understanding it as a psychological disorder. Scientists are beginning to learn that narcissism exists on a spectrum - much like autism - and most of us exhibit some mild narcissistic tendencies. But one in 20 people fall into a category the author refers to as extreme narcissism, in which these self-absorbed characteristics result in destructive behavior that harms not only the individual but everyone around them, including friends, family, and coworkers. With more than 30 years of experience studying personality disorders and treating extreme narcissists, Dr. Joseph Burgo has developed a useful guidebook to help you identify, understand, and manage narcissistic personalities. Relying on detailed profiles, vignettes from the author's practice, and celebrity biographies, The Narcissist You Know offers easy-to-understand tools and solutions you can use to defuse hostile situations and survive assaults on your self-esteem should you ever find yourself in an extreme narcissist's orbit. Don't let narcissism destroy your relationships. Get the tools you need to understand, work with, and live with the narcissist you know. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Raines.

    Antisocial vs. Asocial: Which One Are You? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    Antisocial behavior can be characterized as an overall lack of adherence to the social mores, and standards that allow members of society to coexist peaceably. Many people who display this type of behavior may seem charming, but often cause harm to others, and show little remorse for their actions. Antisocial behavior can be part of a larger conduct disorder, or personality disorder, such as antisocial personality disorder, and it is said to be seen in men more commonly than women. On the other hand, an asocial individual is someone who keeps to themselves, generally ignoring other people. Just as asexual is without sex, asocial is without socialization. These asocial people tend to be on the autistic spectrum. They are perfectly healthy, they'd rather not socialize, and frankly, judging from the behavior of a lot of students at in school, I can't say I blame them. The asocial individual does not commit antisocial behavior. They just ignore everybody. Someone who doesn't enjoy socializing at parties might be described as either "asocial" or "antisocial", but "asocial" is too mild a term to describe someone who commits an antisocial act such as planting a bomb. "Asocial" suggests indifference to or separation from society, whereas "antisocial" more often suggests active hostility toward society. So, which one are you? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Grief Day by Day offers supportive readings and exercises to help you move through life after loss, one day at a time.  Grief is complex. It is ever changing and may come to us differently on any given day. Grief Day by Day offers reflections and practices that address the day-to-day feelings that accompany the ever changing process of grief.  In Grief Day by Day, Jan Warner draws on her own extensive experience and the experiences of the 2 million followers on her Grief Speaks Out Facebook page to offer hope in its most practical form. This audiobook does not look to offer a solution to grief. Rather, it provides supportive, useful guidance to help you create a life in which peace, and even gratitude, can coexist with your grief.  There is no “right way” to grieve, and there is no right way to use this book. Whether you follow it word by word, or select that which seems most relevant to you at the moment, how you use this audiobook is less important than why you are using it. You’re using this audiobook because you have chosen to honor your experience, to make a home for your grief, and to find a new way of living on the bridge between loss and life.   ungekürzt.

    Claiming My Omega: Blackwater Pack, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
    I have a confession to make. I'm not used to being the center of anyone's attention. I know that I've been sheltered. I was adopted by humans, and by the time I was introduced to the Blackwater Pack, I was awkward and shy around other wolves - something that never really went away. I keep trying to claw myself out of my comfort zone, but until now, I've never had a compelling reason. That all changed since I've met him: Vaughn Bennett. Vaughn is a confident, successful, well-traveled alpha. Maybe, he's too much for me. Maybe, he's out of my league. I don't know. I don't care. Sparks fly whenever I look at him, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. But I have a secret. I'm worried that once he knows, he won't want me anymore. My name is Finley King. I'm 21 years old. I've never had a heat. I can never have a baby. Welcome to Blackwater, Montana - a small town with a big personality, where shifters and humans coexist. Claiming My Omega is a dual point of view, shifter mpreg audiobook with a guaranteed happy ending. The third in this series, this audiobook can also be listened to as a stand-alone.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    The Innovation Paradox: Why Good Businesses Kill Breakthroughs and How They Can Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
    For more than 20 years, major innovations - the kind that transform industries and even societies - seem to have come almost exclusively from startups, despite massive efforts and millions of dollars spent by established companies. Tony Davila and Marc Epstein, authors of the best-selling Making Innovation Work, say the problem is that the very processes and structures responsible for established companies' enduring success prevent them from developing breakthroughs. This is the innovation paradox. Most established companies succeed through incremental innovation - taking a product they're known for and adding a feature here, cutting a cost there. Major breakthroughs are hard to achieve when everything about the way your organization is built and run is designed to reward making what already works work a little better. But incremental innovation can coexist with breakthrough thinking. Using examples from both scrappy startups and long-term innovators such as IBM, 3M, Apple, and Google, Davila and Epstein explain how corporate culture, leadership style, strategy, incentives, and management systems can be structured to encourage breakthroughs. Then they bring it all together in a new model called the Startup Corporation, which combines the philosophy of the startup with the experience, resources, and network of an established company. Breakthrough innovation no longer has to be the nearly exclusive province of the new kids on the block. With Davila and Epstein’s assistance, any company can develop paradigm-shifting products and services and maximize the ROI on its R&D. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Boyett.
