    Lady of the Wood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    Native American legends of Puget Sound tell of fierce battles between an enormous snake and a mountain eagle. Being supernatural entities, neither could destroy the other. Yet their battles were so fierce that the very Earth would tremble and shake, mountains and forests would collapse. In the year 900, the worst of all clashes occurred. As the Earth shook violently, the waters of Puget Sound rose and surged in the form of a tsunami, wiping away the coastal villages and all the people who lived by the water’s edge. As the souls of the dead streamed into the Spirit World, they told of their terrible and frightening deaths, and the spirits of the children lamented their lives cut short. Moved by the sad stories, the spirit of an Indian woman, Owiyahl, shaman and midwife in her former life, decides to try and prevent the loss of life. Through her bones, preserved for over a thousand years within the wood of a massive cedar tree, she is drawn to the present day, where she convinces a time walker to go back in history to warn the people. But not all goes as planned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen Li. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/220883/bk_acx0_220883_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    I'll Be There: Angel Ridge, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
    She thought he looked familiar, but couldn't be sure. He was tall, dark, bearded. What if he was one of the men trying to kill her? Adrenaline surged through her, and she pummeled and kicked, mindless in her rage. When he suddenly released her, she fell hard. In Angel Ridge, Tennessee, not much goes on around town in the winter. After Christmas, folks usually hunker down and wait for spring to come to the Smoky Mountains. But given recent events, which included a bombing and newspaper publisher Jenny Thompson's disappearance, people in town are understandably on edge. Now Jenny's in hiding on a nearby mountain, waiting for trouble to catch up with her and none too sure it hasn't, when reclusive mountain man Cord Goins comes to her rescue. Stuck between a beginning and an ending, both she and Cord feel powerless to control the dangerous situation they've found themselves in, along with the unexpected consequences of falling in love. Deborah Grace Staley lives in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in a circa 1867 farmhouse. She is hard at work on the next book in the award-winning Angel Ridge series.

    It's Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia, and Winning True Equality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 447min
    Marriage equality has surged across the country. Closet doors have burst open in business, entertainment, and even major-league sports. But as longtime advocate Michelangelo Signorile argues in his most provocative book yet, the excitement of such breathless change makes this moment more dangerous than ever. Puncturing the illusion that victory is now inevitable, Signorile marshals stinging evidence that an age-old hatred, homophobia, is still a basic fact of American life. He exposes the bigotry of the brewing religious conservative backlash against LGBT rights, and challenges the complacency and hypocrisy of supposed allies in Washington, the media, and Hollywood. Not just a wake-up call, It's Not Over is a battle plan for the fights to come in the march toward equality. Signorile tells the stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans who have refused to be merely tolerated and are demanding full acceptance. And he documents signs of hope in schools and communities that are finding new ways to combat ignorance, bullying, and fear. Urgent and empowering, It's Not Over is a necessary audiobook from one of our most electrifying voices. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Lawlor.

    Alien Contact: NASA Exposed, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    For thousands of years mankind advanced slowly, then suddenly we took to the skies, created machines to think for us, and devised weapons of mass destruction, dwarfing the industrial revolution with the technological revolution. The scientific advancements we now consider parts of our everyday lives surged forward with one peculiar event - global sightings of UFOs. In 1936 a UFO crashed in the Black Forest of Germany. Hitler ordered a full scale investigation, and the Nazis began reverse engineering the technology. Combined with occult influences and an early concept of quantum physics, they developed the V2 rocket and countless other devices that seemingly came out of nowhere. At the war's end, Operation Paperclip brought over 1,500 scientists, technicians, and engineers from Nazi Germany and other countries to develop what we now call the "space program." Now, decades later, hundreds of whistle-blowers (including astronauts) claim that NASA not only knows about alien visitations but that they are in contact with extraterrestrials. Investigate the very real government cover-up of the UFO phenomena and the worldwide implications the alien presence has on our planet today. Language: English. Narrator: OH Krill.

    No Better Time: The Brief, Remarkable Life of Danny Lewin, the Genius Who Transformed the Internet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
    No Better Time tells of a young, driven mathematical genius who wrote a set of algorithms that would create a faster, better Internet. It's the story of a beautiful friendship between a loud, irreverent student and his soft-spoken MIT professor, of a husband and father who spent years struggling to make ends meet only to become a billionaire almost overnight with the success of Akamai Technologies, the Internet content delivery network he cofounded with his mentor. Danny Lewin's brilliant but brief life is largely unknown because, until now, those closest to him have guarded their memories and quietly mourned their loss. For Lewin was almost certainly the first victim of 9/11, stabbed to death at age 31 while trying to overpower the terrorists who would eventually fly American Flight 11 into the World Trade Center. But ironically it was 9/11 that proved the ultimate test for Lewin’s vision - while phone communication failed and web traffic surged as never before, the critical news and government sites that relied on Akamai - and the technology pioneered by Danny Lewin - remained up and running. ungekürzt.

    The Book Smugglers of Timbuktu: The Race to Reach the Fabled City and the Fantastic Effort to Save its Past , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    Two tales of a city: the historical race to reach one of the world's most mythologized places and the story of how a contemporary band of archivists and librarians, fighting to save its ancient manuscripts from destruction at the hands of al-Qaeda, added another layer to the legend. To Westerners, the name Timbuktu long conjured a tantalising paradise, an African El Dorado where even the slaves wore gold. Beginning in the late 18th century, a series of explorers gripped by the fever for discovery tried repeatedly to reach the fabled city. But one expedition after another went disastrously awry, succumbing to attack, the climate, and disease. Timbuktu was rich in another way, too. A medieval centre of learning, it was home to tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts on subjects ranging from religion to poetry, law to history, pharmacology and astronomy. When al-Qaeda-linked jihadists surged across Mali in 2012, threatening the existence of these precious documents, a remarkable thing happened: a team of librarians and archivists joined forces to spirit the manuscripts into hiding. Relying on extensive research and firsthand reporting, Charlie English expertly twines these two suspenseful strands into a fascinating account of one of the planet's extraordinary places and the myths from which it has become inseparable. ungekürzt.

    The Glass Wall
    A Sunday Times Book of the Year 2021This journey to the edge of Europe mixes history, travelogue and oral testimony to spellbinding and revelatory effect.Few countries have suffered more from the convulsions and bloodshed of twentieth-century Europe than those in the eastern Baltic. Small nations such as the Baltic States of Latvia and Estonia found themselves caught between the giants of Germany and Russia, on a route across which armies surged or retreated. Subjected to foreign domination and conquest since the Northern crusades in the twelfth century, these lands faced frequent devastation as Germans, Russians and Swedish colonisers asserted control of the territory, religion, government, culture and inhabitants. The Glass Wall features an extraordinary cast of characters - contemporary and historical, foreign and indigenous - who have lived and fought in the Baltic and made the atmosphere of what was often thought to be western Europe's furthest redoubt. Too often it has seemed to be the destiny of this region to be the front line of other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and Baltic Barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont reveals a fascinating part of Europe, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt.'Fascinating . . . a rich, nuanced account of life on "the Baltic frontier"' - The Times'Excellent' - Daily Mail'Extraordinary' - Literary Review'Exemplary' - Economist

    Still: Still Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    It always started like this, a pulse inside me, like a warning before the tide surged, roared... and froze everything.  Twenty-year old Emma just landed in Rome, to find the father who walked out of her life more than a decade ago and was too busy eating pizza to call. Traveling with her is a secret she's carried alone since childhood: sometimes, around her, time stops. People and cars freeze, rain hangs still in the air and there's only her left in the silence.  To make things worse, instead of her dad, Em runs into a past she'd rather forget in the person of Lily, her stepsister. Kind, beautiful, Harvard honors student Lily: the perfect daughter Em never was. As the two of them reconnect, Em starts to pick up some creepy vibes from Katharos, the mysterious archaeological foundation Lily works for - and more specifically the ancient stone table they're digging up near the coliseum.... Faust, the blind hobo Em keeps running into, might be the key to piercing Katharos's secrets. Actually, he might even have something to do with that pesky time-freezing thing. With Lily's life on the line and no one else to turn to, Em chooses to trust this unlikely ally, but behind his charming smile and lunar antics, the guy comes with some serious fine print.... Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy McFadden. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/011715/bk_tant_011715_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
