    The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure, and Human Evolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 727min
    The Art Instinct combines two of the most fascinating and contentious disciplines, art and evolutionary science, in a provocative new work that will revolutionize the way art itself is perceived. Aesthetic taste, argues Denis Dutton, is an evolutionary trait, and is shaped by natural selection. It's not, as almost all contemporary art criticism and academic theory would have it, "socially constructed". The human appreciation for art is innate, and certain artistic values are universal across cultures, such as a preference for landscapes that, like the ancient savannah, feature water and distant trees. If people from Africa to Alaska prefer images that would have appealed to our hominid ancestors, what does that mean for the entire discipline of art history? Dutton argues, with forceful logic and hard evidence, that art criticism needs to be premised on an understanding of evolution, not on abstract "theory". Sure to provoke discussion in scientific circles and an uproar in the art world, The Art Instinct offers radical new insights into both the nature of art and the workings of the human mind. ungekürzt.

Callie knew this vacation would be short-lived, she had an established career in music to return to, but she wasn't sure if that life appealed to her any more.

    Mark Twain in Paradise (His Voyages to Bermuda): Mark Twain and His Circle, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    Samuel Clemens first encountered the Bermuda Islands in 1867 on a return voyage from the Holy Land and found them much to his liking. One of the most isolated spots in the world, Bermuda offered the writer a refuge from his harried and sometimes sad existence on the mainland, and this island paradise called him back another seven times. Clemens found that Bermuda’s beauty, pace, weather, and company were just the medicine he needed, and its seafaring culture with few connections to the outside world appealed to his love of travel by water.This book is the first comprehensive study of Clemens’s love affair with Bermuda, a vivid depiction of a celebrated author on recurring vacations. Donald Hoffmann has plumbed the voluminous Mark Twain scholarship and Bermudian archives to faithfully re-create turn-of-the-century Bermuda, supplying historical and biographical background to give his narrative texture and depth. And because much of what Clemens enjoyed in the islands is still available to experience today, visitors to Bermuda can now have America’s favorite author as their guide.The book is published by University of Missouri Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Rossman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/160074/bk_acx0_160074_sample.mp3.

    The Story of Motown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
    In January 1959, Berry Gordy borrowed $800 from his family and founded the Detroit-based record company that in less than a decade was to become the largest black-owned business in the United States. It also became one of the most productive and influential producers of popular music anywhere in the world.The Story of Motown is the story of Berry Gordy's triumph over powerful, established financial interests, entrenched popular taste, bigotry, and racism. By inventing a sound that appealed to whites as well as blacks, and that was immediately identifiable to an entire generation of listeners, Gordy demonstrated his genius as a producer; by the sheer force of his will, he demonstrated that a black man from the urban ghetto could aspire to and conquer the heights of traditional American business, including the movie business. Unfortunately, while doing all of this, he also found new ways to exploit his talented artists and eventually lost many of them to companies that paid them more. The Story of Motown is the story of the rise and fall of one of the most important cultural touchstones in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden.

    Badman's Pass , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    Badger Kershaw was becoming a familiar figure on the frontier after the War between the States. Riding an Appaloosa with Lobo, his dog-wolf hybrid, often by his side, he was feared by most outlaws on the dodge on whom there was a bounty. It was not a savory profession, perhaps, but Kershaw was honest about what he did. Frontier lawmen for the most part were accustomed to dealing with Kershaw. When the fugitive was willing to surrender - which was less frequent than it might be thought - Kershaw would bring in an outlaw alive, but it was not an option he encountered very often. Generally it was one man against another, but in what would possibly be Badger Kershaw's greatest feat, the odds were quite different. Colonel Benjamin Grierson had been Kershaw's commanding officer during the War between the States. When, years after the war's end, Grierson's daughter was one of the four women seized in a train hold-up and taken prisoner, Grierson appealed again to the man who had once served under him to rescue the women from the outlaw gang. Kershaw surprised the army when he chose to do the job entirely alone, despite the incredible odds against him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ramiz Monsef.

    The Treasure Chest of Grace: Following God's Map to Untold Riches in Christ Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
    For too long, members of the lord's church have begun conversations about salvation with, "You need to...." Certainly there are things man must do to receive god's gift of salvation, but I think we need to start the conversation with "god". Therefore, this book explains how and why god provides grace and then what man must do to receive it. I wrote this book for two reasons: 1. I want Christians to know that they have not saved themselves! If you are saved, it is by the grace of god in Christ Jesus! When you were baptized into Christ, you did not save yourself - you appealed to god for salvation through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21). I want Christians to know this and be able to explain it simply and clearly to others. 2. I want non-Christians to know exactly what they must do to receive the gift of grace in Christ Jesus. They need to know what grace is, why they need it, and how to get it! They need to know that their denominational preachers, pastors, priests, and popes may not have been telling them the truth about the grace of god. This book will lovingly explain to them the truth! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rick Vaught. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/073752/bk_acx0_073752_sample.mp3.

    An Officer's Lady , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
    Eve was a handful. She had a temper that could spook a cavalry horse, and she had never been tamed. Until her father's marriage brought a new stepmother and her son into the house. Theo wouldn't be around for long. Officers in Her Majesties Navy rarely were. They came and went with the trade winds. One month. That's all they have. A man of discipline and order, Theo knows how to battle insubordination on board a sailing vessel. But Eve? Her defiance brings her to the brink of mutiny, and he finds himself on the ledge between brute and gentleman. Her ferocity calls to inner beast, but to hell with her unholy fits. Eve also balances on a ledge - somewhere between childhood tantrums and womanhood. A father who treats her like a sheltered child, and a new man in her life who pushes her to be a special brand of lady. The kid gloves and sewing clubs of genteel society have never appealed to her rebellious streak, but what Theo desires in a lady? That she is irresistibly drawn to. Is it the heavy hand or the gentle touch which draws in an officer's lady? Who will tame whom in this Victorian-era battle of the wills? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Desiree Dunne.
