  Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min

  Those who want to avoid simplistic partisan rhetoric and use words in a challenging, spirited way need practical strategies. This audiobook offers a range of them. Drawing upon the work of exemplary contemporary writers, Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict shows how to speak and write clearly and generously.For example, we can attend more carefully to the effects of metaphors, recognize and avoid glib euphemisms, define terms in ways that retrieve core meanings and revitalize them, and enrich our sense of history by deft use of allusion. Contemporary listeners are awash in many words that have been cheapened and profaned. But with deliberate use of intelligence and grace, we can redeem their “sacramentality”. Humanely uttered words can become a life-giving means of clarity and compassion.Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict is an homage to the outstanding wordsmiths who have achieved that potential and an invitation to follow them in making well-chosen words instruments of peace. ungekürzt.

  Cop a Feel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min

  When you get time off for bad behavior, romance is the last thing on your mind - but good old-fashioned lust is a whole different story.... Life undercover isn't exactly one big party - not when you're a DEA agent - but it sure beats a desk job. Except when you screw up big and someone has to go in and clean up after you. In that case, even paper-pushing sounds better than babysitting an erotic romance writer with as many enemies as there are euphemisms for "throbbing manhood". I've been taking down drug dealers for so long, playing bodyguard to a woman named Shoshanna Lehump sounds like nothing more than a giant pain in my ass - and being partnered with the gorgeous egotistical jerk I never should have slept with in the first place just makes a bad situation even harder - especially when he pursues me as diligently as we're supposed to be chasing the bad guys.... What's a girl have to do to get a happy ending anyway? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollis McCarthy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/030375/bk_adbl_030375_sample.mp3.

  I Give You My Body...": How I Write Sex Scenes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min

  For writers looking to make sure their next physical interludes on the page inspire readers to share the moment rather than to laugh at it, best-selling author Diana Gabaldon divulges the writing secrets behind the sex scenes in her wildly popular Outlander novels. "Ask me to your bed," he said. "I shall come to ye." In this revealing compendium, acclaimed writer Diana Gabaldon shares her invaluable lessons for creating an immersive reading experience, from evoking a mood to using the power of emotions to communicate physical intimacy. You'll learn the difference between gratuitous sex and genuine encounters that move the story forward and how to handle less-than-savory acts that nevertheless serve a narrative purpose. Gabaldon also notes that sex can be conveyed instead of described. With such tips as The Rule of Three for involving the senses, handy lists of naughty euphemisms (with instructions for use), and Gabaldon's own examples from the Outlander novels, "I Give You My Body..." is a master class in writing to draw readers in and keep them riveted to the page. ungekürzt.

  When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min

  Following his two New York Times best sellers, Brain Droppings and Napalm & Silly Putty, comes George Carlin's third audiobook, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, a riotous journey through the mind of one of America's premiere comic observers. Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; TV News: The Death of Humpty Dumpty; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Cliches; 13 Sections of Euphemisms) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance; Tired of the Handi-crap), Carlin's legendary irreverence and iconoclasm are on full display as he vainly scours the American landscape for signs of intelligence. He also has a silly side: You know what kind of guy you never see anymore? A fop. A good motto to live by: "Always try not to get killed." I've never seen a homeless guy with a bottle of Gatorade. A lot of gay men stay in the closet because they're interested in fashion. I have an impersonal trainer. We meet at the gym, we don't talk, he works out alone, and I go home. Here's something you can't do by yourself: practice shaking hands. When it comes to God's existence, I'm not an atheist and I'm not an agnostic. I'm an acrostic. The whole thing puzzles me. Good news for senior citizens: Death is near! O.J. Simpson has already received the ultimate punishment: For the rest of his life he has to associate with golfers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Weaponized Lies: How to Think Critically in the Post-Truth Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min

  Previously published as A Field Guide to Lies. We're surrounded by fringe theories, fake news, and pseudofacts. These lies are getting repeated. New York Times best-selling author Daniel Levitin shows how to disarm these socially devastating inventions and get the American mind back on track. Here are the fundamental lessons in critical thinking that we need to know and share now. Investigating numerical misinformation, Daniel Levitin shows how mishandled statistics and graphs can give a grossly distorted perspective and lead us to terrible decisions. Wordy arguments, on the other hand, can easily be persuasive as they drift away from the facts in an appealing yet misguided way. The steps we can take to better evaluate news, advertisements, and reports are clearly detailed. Ultimately, Levitin turns to what underlies our ability to determine if something is true or false: the scientific method. He grapples with the limits of what we can and cannot know. Case studies are offered to demonstrate the applications of logical thinking to quite varied settings, spanning courtroom testimony, medical decision making, magic, modern physics, and conspiracy theories. This urgently needed book enables us to avoid the extremes of passive gullibility and cynical rejection. As Levitin attests: Truth matters. A post-truth era is an era of willful irrationality, reversing all the great advances humankind has made. Euphemisms like "fringe theories", "extreme views", "alt truth", and even "fake news" can literally be dangerous. Let's call lies what they are and catch those making them in the act.*Includes a PDF of supplemental graphics on visualizing conditional probabilities PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

  Conversation Tactics: Strategies to Build Trust and Resolve Conflict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min

  We, most times, confuse conversation with communication, which is one of the reasons we get it wrong in business and other related endeavors. There are lots of cultural policies that control the means we talk to each other.There are forbidden subjects, there are certain methods of attending to individuals that are taken into consideration while others are downright discourteous. Also, usually, we utilize euphemisms to disguise our message and lessen its upsetting effect. Everyone analyzes what is said in different ways. Two people can listen to the same words and derive really different meanings. We have little idea what others take away from a conversation or what they are thinking. Conversation is dynamic and also spontaneous. It is not intended or scheduled. We don't prepare our action to something that someone says. It arises spontaneously. The conversation can be taken as being in control. The conversation takes us where it wishes to go. It's not simply the words spoken that develop the communication. The speed and also volume of delivery, the tone and also the feeling in the voice shape the meaning of words shared. The eyes and the smile share so much, along with various other body language. We have actually developed our senses to be very sensitive to body movement and can discover deceit, lies, stress, and other underlying feelings.Conversation can motivate as well as inspire us, or it can depress as well as transform us. In conversation, we make new connections in our minds, and our reasoning can be taken down entirely brand-new courses. A single conversation or a collection of discussions over a period can have a large influence on us. We begin to alter choices not realizing the influence that earlier discussions have actually had on us. A conversation held today is greatly influenced by discussions held in the past. ungekürzt.
