  Readers can open any page in this book at random and realize that William Bernhardt is a poet of the rarest kind - one who can communicate grace, humanity, and shared experience without the obscurity and obfuscation that sometimes causes people to avoid modern poetry. His everyman approach and direct language draws in readers who might normally never give a poem a second glance. Drawing inspiration from forebears such as Billy Collins and Robert Frost, Bernhardt creates a unique voice that is at once accessible and profound. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Survival: Evolutionary Rules for Intelligent Species Survival , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1240min

  14th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards - Finalist How different might the history of our species have been had our hunter-gatherer forebears failed to migrate out of Africa in time to survive 70,000 years ago when threatened by extinction due to climate change brought on by the last ice age? Simply put, we would not exist. Now, similarly threatened, we too must act quickly if we hope to survive. Yet despite all the signs of a potential greenhouse mass extinction, again due to climate change, this threat is still being ignored. Like the passengers aboard the Titanic, who knew that in two hours and 40 minutes they would either be in a lifeboat or drowning in the cold waters of the Atlantic but waited a full hour before taking action - we too are not getting our lifeboats ready. This book is a wake-up call and looks to evolution itself for guidance on how to avoid extinction. Evolution, the author claims, seems firmly on the side of survival and has left evolutionary survival patterns - adapt, innovate, mature, and migrate to survive or go extinct. Survival depends on how we adapt and innovate as well as on whether we can mature and migrate. Unfortunately, misuse of the adapt and innovate patterns over the last 200 years has driven us to the brink of self-extinction. What can be done? Survival, this book claims, will not emerge from the products of adapting and innovating - science, technologies, and inventions - but by migrating and maturing to evolutionary maturity - maturing beyond the ability to drive ourselves and other species to extinction - and by restoring Earth's habitats and species and a return to sustaining our lives from within Earth's ecosystems, as our forebears did. And failing these, like them, we must be free, willing, and able to choose to migrate - to other planets if necessary - to survive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathaniel Ascher.

  The Mysteries of Pittsburgh , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min

  Michael Chabon masterfully renders the funny, tender, and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein, whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like The Catcher in the Rye's Holden Caulfield and The Great Gatsby's Nick Carraway. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh incontrovertibly established Chabon as a powerful force in contemporary fiction, even before his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay set the literary world spinning. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America, it is also an essential milestone in the movement of American fiction, from a novelist who has become one of the most important and enduring voices of this generation. ungekürzt.

  Fast Fades the Beauteous Shore , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min

  This story tells of my pioneer colonist forebears and their arrival and settlement in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1838 after many difficult months at sea. They landed only a year after the proclamation of the city of Adelaide. At this time houses were made from reeds from the banks of Adelaide's Torrens River, the port of Adelaide was surrounded by swamp with the area referred to in those early days as "Mudholia" or "Dustholia". During this time some colonial children mixed with local Aboriginal children, in some cases learning part of their language. This story talks about Adelaide's rapid early development and, in particular, follows the fortunes of the illustrious Downer family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sally Cook.

  A thousand years ago, the armies of the Arcosian Empire, led by Mornhavon the Black, crossed the great sea and tried to conquer the land of Sacoridia—and during Karigan G’ladheon’s early years as a Green Rider, Mornhavon’s spirit, sensing weakness in his prison walls and seeking vengeance, began to wake. With the ghostly help of the First Rider, Karigan had managed to drive off the spirit of Mornhavon—but for how long, no one could know. And now, the descendants of those Arcosians are ready to strike, reaching out to claim the land their forebears had tried to conquer. Worse, these vengeful enemies had spent generations honing their powers of dark magic—a force against which the Sacoridians had no defense…. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellen Archer.
