Peregrine Falcon: Stories of the Blue Meanie: Corrie Herring Hooks Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
A superb success as a bird, combining great speed, aeronautical grace, and fearlessness... inhabitant of wild places, inaccessible cliffs, and skyscrapers... worldwide dweller, trans-equatorial migrant, and docile captive - the peregrine falcon stands alone among all others of its kind. Perhaps this is why so many varied people rushed to its aid when it faced decimation by pesticide poisoning. In this personal and highly entertaining memoir, Jim Enderson tells stories of a lifetime spent studying, training, breeding, and simply enjoying peregrine falcons. He recalls how his boyhood interest in raptors grew into an ornithological career in which he became one of the leading experts who helped identity DDT as the cause of the peregrine falcon's sudden and massive decline across the United States. His stories reveal both the dedication that he and fellow researchers brought to the task of studying and restoring the peregrine and the hair-raising adventures that sometimes befell them along the way. Enderson also seamlessly weaves in the biology and natural history of the peregrine, as well as anecdotes about its traditional and widespread use in falconry as an aggressive yet tractable hunter, to offer a broad portrait of this splendid and intriguing falcon. The book is published by University of Texas Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Kruse. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/028832/bk_acx0_028832_sample.mp3.

Writing Books that Won't Get Blue Meanie Reviews: How to Avoid People Who Aren't Nice with Reviewing Your Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
The audiobook is also a section found in my 3-part book titled: Wars Between Book Reviewers and Authors Why?, you might ask and maybe even in a mean-sounding voice “How Dare I write about such a touchy subject as Book Reviewing?” I would answer that I'm not daring to but rather I am being guided to do it. That unseen substance we might call “Literary Inspiration”, “The Guiding Hand of Inspirational Writing” or “I Got an Itch to Write Something”, is driving me and I can all but resist it. There are apparently readers out there who need this material to fill a void that can be satisfied by nothing else and I am called upon to fill them up. I am the gas station of words and they are the empty tanks needing the fuel of inspiration... (YES, there's much more!!!)Here's an example of what you'll get in this power-packed instructional resource with over 2,780 words, on how to avoid those nasty book reviews! Introductions Why People Write Bad Book Reviews Even When They're Not Mad at Anyone Avoid Bad Reviews by Writing a Threatening Introduction Format Your Book in Such a Way as to Stun Readers into Giving you Nothing but Good Reviews My ConclusionA note from Percy's evil twin (James M. Lowrance): With these comedies being so different from my serious subject books, I assigned a pen name to them as well, being “Percyvelle Pennington the Third”. He seems more like the guy who wrote them, than I do. Percy is a snide type guy and he is arrogant; traits that I hopefully never display in real life! He does make his points known in his memoirs but in strangely comical ways. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James M. Lowrance.

Emotional Intelligence Mastery 2.0: A Practical Guide to Improve Success, Overcome Negativity, Anxiety Relief, Analyze People and Yourself: Develop and Implement the Power of Emotional Intelligence! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
Do you want to increase your emotional intelligence and apply it in different situations in life? If yes, then keep reading....Have you ever had a time where you reacted poorly in an emotionally charged situation, and your reaction resulted in a situation that you wish was different? Perhaps you have had a bad day at work, and when you got home, you lashed out at your spouse and children out of frustration when they played a game just a bit too loudly for your taste. Though they were having a blast playing together, they annoyed you, and you said things you regret. As a result, your children went to bed upset with you after calling you a meanie-head and saying they wished you were still at work, and you angered your spouse, who chose to sleep on the couch instead of in bed with you. You may feel as though you are not the person your family deserves due to your inability to deal with emotional situations. You can build your emotional intelligence and influence your ability to read and react to emotional situations. This means that you can improve your EQ (emotional quotient: the measurement of your emotional intelligence), and improve your social skills and relationships, though it will take effort. Imagine if you had a higher EQ in the above situation: You would have come home from work angry, but instead of lashing out at your family, you took a deep breath, recognized that your family was having fun, and went to take a quiet drive around town for 15 minutes to yourself to unwind before returning home and joining in on playtime and your children’s bedtime routines. Instead of them being upset and angry at you, your children told you they love you, told you that you are the best, and went to bed happily. With the help of this book, you will be provided the skills you will need to bolster your EQ and develop the ability to handle social situations with tact. You will be guided through the basics of EQ, provided tests to see where ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Stone.
