    The Burning Cathedral of Summer: Stories of Darkness and Youth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    I wish I could say that when Benson and his gang showed up we drew on some previously unknown strength and kicked their Rich Kid asses; that we chased them all the way back to their fancy cars and tucked and rolled seats and kicked in their doors and fenders; although we really would do that later, not to them personally but to guys like them, in those dog days immediately after high school - when Orley had yet to join the army and I’d yet to lose my mother, and LA was just a twinkle in Kevin’s eye.Instead they caught us completely by surprise, knocking the tent over and rolling us up in it - like a giant snowball - after which they proceeded to kick and punch us mercilessly before dragging us out by our feet and gloating over us in the sun: like trolls, I remember thinking. Or Tolkien’s fucking orcs.“Well now, look at this,” said Benson, and paused to hawk up phlegm. “If it isn’t our little faggots - just cozied up like lemmings.” He pursed his lips and spat, causing green slime to splatter my cheek. “Our thievin’ little douche-flutes, just letting their freak flags fly.”“And sitting on the rest of our gas money,” said Mickelson. “I can guarantee it.”“Oh?” Benson raised his brow, as if he hadn’t thought of that. “You’re kind of the leader, Orley. Is that true?”Orley just looked at him, his mouth bleeding, his cheek scuffed and bruised. At last he said, “We used it to pay your mother. She said that’s what triple-penetration costs.”A couple of them laughed - Mickelson and Spelvin, I think - and Benson shot them a look. At length he said, “Funny - as always.” He paused, cocking his head. “You look thirsty. Buckey. Give me your cup.”He held out his hand without looking, and Buckey placed in it a large container, one of those 32-ounce super tankards you get at Zip Trip or 7-11, minus its lid. “The stink bugs are terrible this year, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Buckey here left this out in the sun too long.” He smelled t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milt Bighley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/175145/bk_acx0_175145_sample.mp3.

    Reimagining Courts: A Design for the Twenty-First Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 344min
    In their timely and topical book, Reimagining Courts, Victor Flango and Thomas Clarke argue that courts are a victim of their own success. Disputes that once were resolved either informally in the family or within the community are now handled mainly by courts, which strains government agency resources. The authors offer provocative suggestions for a thorough overhaul of American state and local courts, one that better fits the needs of a twenty-first century legal system. Reimagining Courts recommends a triage process based upon case characteristics, litigant goals, and resolution processes. Courts must fundamentally reorganize their business processes around the concept of the litigant as a customer. Each adjudication process that the authors propose requires a different case management process and different amounts of judicial, staff, and facility resources. Reimagining Courts should spark much-needed debate. This book will be of significant interest to lawyers, judges, and professionals in the court system as well as to scholars in public administration and political science. ungekürzt.

    The Development of Moral Theology: Five Strands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 702min
    Charles Curran, in his newest book, The Development of Moral Theology: Five Strands, brings a unique historical and critical analysis to the five strands that differentiate Catholic moral theology from other approaches to Christian ethics - sin and the manuals of moral theology, the teaching of Thomas Aquinas and later Thomists, natural law, the role of authoritative church teaching in moral areas, and Vatican II. Significant changes have occurred over the course of these historical developments. In addition, pluralism and diversity exist even today, as illustrated, for example, in the theory of natural law proposed by Cardinal Ratzinger. In light of these realities, Curran proposes his understanding of how the strands should influence moral theology today. A concluding chapter highlights the need for a truly theological approach and calls for a significant change in the way that the papal teaching office functions today and its understanding of natural law.

    The Global Village Myth: Distance, War, and the Limits of Power , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    According to security elites, revolutions in information, transport, and weapons technologies have shrunk the world, leaving the United States and its allies more vulnerable than ever to violent threats like terrorism or cyberwar. As a result, they practice responses driven by fear: theories of falling dominoes, hysteria in place of sober debate, and an embrace of preemptive war to tame a chaotic world. Patrick Porter challenges these ideas. In The Global Village Myth, he disputes globalism's claims and the outcomes that so often waste blood and treasure in the pursuit of an unattainable "total" security. Porter reexamines the notion of the endangered global village by examining Al-Qaeda's global guerilla movement, military tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and drones and cyberwar, two technologies often used by globalists to support their views. His critique exposes the folly of disastrous wars and the loss of civil liberties resulting from the globalist enterprise. Showing that technology expands rather than shrinks strategic space, Porter offers an alternative outlook to lead policymakers toward more sensible responses - and a wiser, more sustainable grand strategy. ungekürzt.

    The Mapmaker's Eye: David Thompson on the Columbia Plateau , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
    Complex, headstrong, curious, and resourceful, David Thompson is a hero in Canada, yet has remained largely unknown in the United States. Between 1801 and 1812, this fur trader, explorer, and cartographer established two viable trade routes across the Rocky Mountains in Canada and systematically surveyed the entire 1250-mile course of the Columbian River. In succeeding years he distilled his mathematical notations from dozens of journal notebooks into the first maps of the northwest quadrant of North America. Information from some of his earlier mapwork was even used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Author Jack Nisbet utilizes fresh research to convey how Thompson experienced the full sweep of the human and natural history etched across the Columbian drainage. He places Thompson's movements within the larger contexts of the European Enlightenment, the British fur trade economy, and American expansion as represented by Lewis and Clark. The Mapmaker's Eye is a fascinating chronicle of Thompson's life and adventures. The book is published by University of Washington Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark D. Mickelson.

    Modern Physics and Ancient Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 799min
    Modern Physics and Ancient Faith argues that the great discoveries of modern physics are more compatible with the central teachings of Christianity and Judaism about God, the cosmos, and the human soul than with the atheistic viewpoint of scientific materialism. These discoveries led many thoughtful people to the conclusion that the universe has no cause or purpose, that the human race is an accidental byproduct of blind material forces, and that the ultimate reality is matter itself. Barr contends that the revolutionary discoveries of the 20th century run counter to this line of thought. He uses five of these discoveries - the Big Bang theory, unified field theories, anthropic coincidences, Gödel's Theorem in mathematics, and quantum theory - to cast serious doubt on the materialist's view of the world and to give greater credence to Judeo-Christian claims about God and the universe. Written in clear language, Barr's rigorous and fair text explains modern physics to general audiences without oversimplification. Using the insights of modern physics, he reveals that modern scientific discoveries and religious faith are deeply consonant. The book is published by University of Notre Dame Press. ungekürzt.

    Uncovering Love's Hidden Truths: A Fresh Look at a Complex Topic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min
    One's entire life is somehow connected to love. Whether "in love" with someone special or simply loving others, we all make life's major decisions based upon our beliefs about the concept. Love is, therefore, a very important thing to understand. But, who provides us with all of this knowledge and advice? Historically, the two main sources have been grandma and Hollywood. It's true. We get married because of pithy sayings from grandmas and touching scenes in chick flicks that make us cry. These pools of information are obviously a bit unreliable when one's entire future is at stake.This book takes a more intellectual approach. Most listeners will see themselves in almost every minute mostly because love is something we all feel, have felt, or want to feel in the future. This analysis of love is unusual (at times even irritating), but it will make you think. It might even change your life. Learn about the seven precise steps involved in falling in love. Learn about the five distinct times we are willing to gush "I love you". And sadly, learn about how when things go badly in our love lives, we end up heartbroken. Understanding what heartbreak is and why it is so totally depressing is one of the lessons that will be covered. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry Mickelson.

    Playing Through: Modern Golf's Most Iconic Players and Moments , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    The game of golf has been witness to dramatic change since the early 1980s. Technology has relegated polished wooden drivers and wound balls covered with balata to the dustbin of history. The world's great courses have been stretched unfathomable lengths to counter the game's modern champions and the distances they hit the ball. In the end, though, it still comes down to the players. Jim Moriarty has focused his attention on the glory, sacrifice, success, and despair of these champions. In Playing Through, he captures the essence of this most recent, most transformative chapter in golf's long history. He writes of the last great rivalry: Jack Nicklaus versus Tom Watson; the rise of the European juggernaut with Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo; the Ryder Cup spectacles of 1999 and 2012 and the romance of team golf; the tragic loss of Payne Stewart and Ballesteros, both gone too soon; the emergence of the Australians, South Africans, South Americans, and Pacific Rim players in the Presidents Cup; and the man who ruled golf, Tiger Woods. Golf may have changed in the last 35 years, but Moriarty's words show that no matter how far the ball flies, it still pits players against themselves, the elements, and their opponents to remain the game we all know and love. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Mickelson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/095032/bk_acx0_095032_sample.mp3.
