Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and Their War on You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
Behind every awful, dangerous decision lurks one evil beast: the Cool. From politics to the personal, from fashion to food, from the campus to the locker room, the desire to be cool has infected all aspects of our lives. At its most harmless, it is annoying. At its worst, it is deadly, on a massive scale. The Cool are the termites of life, infiltrating every nook and cranny and destroying it from within. The Cool report the news, write the scripts, teach our children, run our government - and each day they pass judgment on those who don’t worship their coolness. The cool fawn over terrorists, mock the military, and denigrate employers. They are, in short, awful people. In Not Cool, Greg Gutfeld, host of Red Eye and cohost of The Five, and best-selling author of The Joy of Hate, lays out the battle plan for reclaiming the real American ideal of cool (building businesses, protecting freedom at home and abroad, taking responsibility for your actions, and leaving other people alone to live as they damn well please). Not Cool fights back against the culture of phonies, elitists, and creeps who want your soul. It’s not a book, it’s a weapon - and one should be armed with it at all times. ungekürzt.

The second volume of Adler’s New York stories in which all the heartache, joy, pain, and anguish of the Big Apple zeitgeist comes to life. These unforgettable stories will make you laugh and cry as a remarkable parade of characters pursue their busy lives in the greatest city on earth. Acclaimed author Warren Adler focuses his laser eye on New York City in these 21 vividly rendered short stories, revealing New York as the heartbeat of America, where creativity resides in every nook and cranny and energy pulsates through its pavements and infuses its denizens, inveterate New Yorkers. In a continuation of New York Echoes 1, Adler’s themes in New York Echoes 2 deal primarily with intimate human relationships - the mysterious nature of love and attraction, the fragile bonds between husbands and wives and parents and children; the divide between generations; the obsessive pursuit of the creative artist and the emotional toll it exacts. In these stories, past memories collide with present realities, and chance encounters have unexpected consequences. All of the hallmarks of Adler’s fiction are at play in New York Echoes 2 and delivered through these powerful stories that reflect a special understanding of the human condition as seen through the eyes of one of America’s most prolific authors. Above all, these radiant tales are a celebration of the short story and of an author’s return to his much-loved, dearly missed native city. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Ken.

The Secret of Kite Hill: Li & Lu, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
Do you know every nook and cranny of your neighborhood? How about under your neighborhood? Do you let your kids walk home from school? It's just a few blocks, right? What lurks in the shadows? In the bushes? Or scarier yet, under the bushes? Or is it all just happy-go-lucky Huckleberry Finn and exploring and adventuring in your own neighborhood? When do you know the difference? Maybe your kids know. Maybe they don't. How will you learn? It began as a simple walk home, the same one we did every day after school. But our dog's ball went into something of a hole, or was it a cave? Maybe a tunnel. But are there tunnels in the city? The ball was pretty close to the entrance, but just far enough to be a little spooky. Should we just forget it? Warning to parents: There are some questionable parenting decisions in this audiobook. It is not intended as a parenting handbook. There's a fine line between making the right decision and making the fun decision. When to choose which? How much do you involve your children in daily decisions? What if they involve danger? But what if your kids think it might be fun? You get the idea. Maybe I need a disclaimer.... You know in scary movies when you yell, "Don't go in there!" We went in. Yeah, I know. Ask your eight-year old why. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bradley Charbonneau.

The Yankee Problem: An American Dilemma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
Granny Clampett, on the TV sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, described the War Between the States as "when the Yankees invaded America" and, indeed, it was! Their invasion of America, however, goes back much farther than the conflict of 1861-1865. It began as soon as they dropped their anchor in Plymouth Bay. Since that time, they have meddled, cheated, and lied their way into every nook and cranny of American life. The Southern people warned others about the radical utopians of New England, and even went to war to get away from them, but to no avail. Now all Americans, not just Southerners, are subject to the whims of "those people" and their never ending mission to recreate, not only America, but the entire world in their bizarre, sanctimonious image. Dr. Clyde Wilson, in this first installment of The Wilson Files, takes the Yankee problem head on. After decades of historical research and personal observation, he exposes and explains these pesky purveyors of mischief and mayhem! If you want to understand America, American History, and the upside-down dystopian nightmare in which we all live, you have to understand the problem. We do not have an economic problem, a race problem, a class problem, a gender problem, a toilet access problem, a drug problem, a gun problem, or any other ideological or social problem at the root of America's dysfunctional anticulture; we have a Yankee problem! ungekürzt.

The Darkness: A Short Tale of Uncommon Daring & Ultimate Defiance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
Everyone's afraid of the dark. Now, there's a reason to be. Lux and his younger brother, Lunam, enjoy the full freedom of the simple life and all the childhood adventures offered by growing up in a small village in a picturesque glen. Life is tranquil, peaceful, and just about perfect - except for one formidable fact.... Every day is followed by night. And, with the night, comes the DARKNESS. Slowly shrouding the valley and relentlessly seeping into every nook and cranny on its nightly rampage, the darkness returns to feast on its victims. No man, woman, child, animal - or even insect - is safe. The darkness consumes all; the darkness' hunger is never satisfied. When the sun falls from the sky, the villagers, young and old, must take to arms, guarding their homes, loved ones, and livestock with every ray of light they can muster. Even young Lux and Lunam are well soldiered in their responsibilities to safeguard themselves and their parents during the nightly vigil, the nightly fight to live to see another day. It's always been this way - the truths and ritual passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. No one dares question why. Nothing can change the frightening fact of the lives of the villagers or emancipate them from their singular foe - nothing except a child's imagination and a curiosity as immutable as the darkness' own appetite. There's just one truth guiding every man, woman, and child to strive to see another day: "Darkness Comes but Once a Night". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josh Cabot.

American Legends: The Life of Jerry Garcia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
I read somewhere that 77 percent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 percent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves. - Jerry Garcia Despite the enormous esteem he has garnered from virtually every corner of the music world, Jerry Garcia has continued to elude both fans and music historians as they attempt to determine his origins and categorize his art and influence on American music. Part of their difficulty lies in the fact that his work as the frontman for the Grateful Dead, "one of the most prolific and iconic guitarists of the twentieth century", tended toward a blending of the traditional with the experimental. He was willing to use almost any and every available ethnic musical resource. Garcia's passionate interest in virtually every nook and cranny of American music, particularly rural music, made the task of following his concepts from moment to moment an unpredictable and inexact science. In his explorations and elaborations on old musical treasures, whether familiar or obscure, he fully indulged in almost all of them at one time or another. For Garcia, this was not a career move but a joyous personal search to create a vast palette of harmonic, rhythmic, and textural escapades. As an iconic example of the "communitarian, drug-positive hippie subculture of Haight-Ashbury", and fulfilling all the expectations of the devotees who immersed themselves in the era's music, Garcia could just as easily draw from classical music as he could from American jazz. He performed highly regionalized blues in all of their dialects, along with country music, numerous shades of rock music, and any combination of all of them. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Dangers of 5G Technology In a Nutshel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
You may have heard of 5G and want to understand what 5G technology is; and what dangers it poses.There are various reasons 5G technology and networks are being introduced. The primary reason which we are told is that this technology will make life better. Such as, increased data transmission speeds and greater network reliability. But this may not be the ultimate reason.5G will bring about an exponential increase in the exposure of humans and animals to electromagnetic radiation, and worse of all, at frequencies that have never been seen or used in consumer applications.Since 5G safety studies have not been conducted on either the short - or long-term health effects, we do not yet know the result of the impact of the radiation of 5G on humans. However, it is known that there are no safe EMF radiation levels.The next-generation networks will be implemented without proper testing and no appropriate update to the security standards.Citizens are concerned 5G will require thousands of small cell towers, which will be placed in every nook and cranny of a city for the network to work. Due to receptors in every corner, residents have no choice but to be significantly exposed to electromagnetic fields for extended periods.When considering the health risks of the 5G networks to children, increased exposure to the EMF is of significant concern. While children absorb more radiation, they are even more susceptible to the various health effects as a result of interaction in their bodies and systems that are still developing.In this guide explore why 5G technology could be ushered into society and how millimeter waves can be to be weaponized using the Active Denial System (ADS). ungekürzt.

The Lost Prince , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
The wonderful adventure story of two boys, one the son of a mysterious impoverished grandee and the other the handicapped son of a n'eer-do-well drunkard. The boys together travel thru Europe on a Secret Mission and help wrest a fictitious country called "Samavia" from its wicked rulers and place the legendary and rightful heir on the throne denied the dynasty for over 500 years. “In every nook and cranny, high and low, they sought for him…he had vanished as a star vanishes when it drops from its place in the sky.” From the author of such children’s classics as The Secret Garden and A Little Princess comes this enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny. Twelve-year-old Marco knows he is being trained for something, but he isn’t sure what. All his life he has traveled with his father in secrecy, learning many languages and the ways of a gentleman, but forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia. Samavia has been fraught with war for the last five hundred years, ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumored that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found. And Marco is about to take on a secret quest that will change everything for his family and his country. Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) was an English-born author of romances and books for children. After moving to America in 1865 she established a popular reputation with the publication of That Lass o’ Lowries in 1877. She is best known for such stories as Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Thorn.
