The World as I See It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
A fascinating collection of Einstein’s observations about life, religion, nationalism, and a host of personal topics that engaged the genius’ intellect In the aftermath of the First World War, Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the current affairs of his day. In addition to these political perspectives, The World as I See It reveals the idealistic, spiritual, and witty side of this great intellectual as he approaches topics including "Good and Evil", "Religion and Science", "Active Pacifism", "Christianity and Judaism", and "Minorities". Including letters, speeches, articles, and essays written before 1935, this collection offers a complete portrait of Einstein as a humanitarian and as a human being trying to make sense of the changing world around him. This authorized Philosophical Library audiobook features a new introduction by Neil Berger. "Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty." (Albert Einstein, "Forum and Century") "Preceding generations have presented us, in a highly developed science and mechanical knowledge, with a most valuable gift which carries with it possibilities of making our life free and beautiful such as no previous generation has enjoyed. But this gift also brings with it dangers to our existence as great as any that have ever threatened it." (Albert Einstein, Address to the Students’ Disarmament Meeting) Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1940. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity. In addition to his scientific work, Einstein ungekürzt.

Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
The authoritative story of the headline-making discovery of gravitational waves - by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer. From the author of How the Universe Got Its Spots and A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, the epic story of the scientific campaign to record the soundtrack of our universe. Black holes are dark. That is their essence. When black holes collide, they will do so unilluminated. Yet the black hole collision is an event more powerful than any since the origin of the universe. The profusion of energy will emanate as waves in the shape of space-time: gravitational waves. No telescope will ever record the event; instead, the only evidence would be the sound of space-time ringing. In 1916, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves, his top priority after he proposed his theory of curved space-time. One century later, we are recording the first sounds from space, the soundtrack to accompany astronomy’s silent movie. In Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space, Janna Levin recounts the fascinating story of the obsessions, the aspirations, and the trials of the scientists who embarked on an arduous 50-year endeavor to capture these elusive waves. An experimental ambition that began as an amusing thought experiment, a mad idea, became the object of fixation for the original architects - Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Ron Drever. Striving to make the ambition a reality, the original three gradually accumulated an international team of hundreds. As this audiobook was written, two massive instruments of remarkably delicate sensitivity were brought to advanced capability. As the audiobook draws to a close, five decades after the experimental ambition began, the team races to intercept a wisp of a sound with two colossal machines, hoping to succeed in time for the centenary of Einstein’s most radical idea. Janna Levin’s absorbing account of the surprises, disap ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Janna Levin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/004541/bk_rand_004541_sample.mp3.

Dr. Futon's Homespun Philosophy Volumes 1 - 5, Hörbuch, Digital, 131min
The paradox Of Humility: Is being humble really what it’s all about? Most of us are all too aware that, in the end, we are just humans, but is it wrong to be proud of what we are, and what we have achieved? In Vol.1, Dr Futon poses the question of whether humility is really something worth striving for, and whether it is acceptable The Theory Of Relativity: Einstein’s theory of relativity goes beyond most people’s conception, but this time, Dr Futon discusses how relativity affects all of our daily lives. The way we view our personal situation, the way we see the world around us, is often dictated by the relative importance we attach to it. Futon covers our relative intelligence when seen through the eyes of a South-American pigmy, to the relative unimportance of genital magnitude. A question Of Perspective: To understand the world around us, we need to view things from different perspectives. Our own views, however valid, may differ greatly from those of another person. Listening to another person’s opinion can be very enlightening, and can show us that our own views are not necessarily the correct ones. The Gospel According To Penguins: Here we meet T-Bito for the first time. Dr Futon turns up at the studio to make his latest recording about religion, and finds T-Bito dressed in a Gladiator uniform preparing to produce some “ecclesiastical” backing music together with his yobbish mates. The recording never actually happens, for the two of them start discussing just how farFuton should go with his rather hard-line atheist views, and the hilarious conversation which ensues, is both side-splitting and at the same time, thought-provoking. Crime and Punishment: What is right and what is wrong? People have been discussing the issues of law for thousands of years; yet never seem to agree upon what constitutes a crime, and what would be a fitting punishment for one who commits such a crime. Dr Futon and T-Bito discuss the various aspects of the sub Language: English. Narrator: Richard Seaman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acti/000065/bk_acti_000065_sample.mp3.

The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and Autism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
Kristine Barnett’s son Jacob has an IQ higher than Einstein’s, a photographic memory, and he taught himself calculus in two weeks. At 9 he started working on an original theory in astrophysics that experts believe may someday put him in line for a Nobel Prize, and at age 12 he became a paid researcher in quantum physics. But the story of Kristine’s journey with Jake is all the more remarkable because his extraordinary mind was almost lost to autism. At age 2, when Jake was diagnosed, Kristine was told he might never be able to tie his own shoes. The Spark is a remarkable memoir of mother and son. Surrounded by "experts" at home and in special ed who tried to focus on Jake’s most basic skills and curtail his distracting interests - moving shadows on the wall, stars, plaid patterns on sofa fabric - Jake made no progress, withdrew more and more into his own world, and eventually stopped talking completely. Kristine knew in her heart that she had to make a change. Against the advice of her husband, Michael, and the developmental specialists, Kristine followed her instincts, pulled Jake out of special ed, and began preparing him for mainstream kindergarten on her own. Relying on the insights she developed at the daycare center she runs out of the garage in her home, Kristine resolved to follow Jacob’s "spark" - his passionate interests. Why concentrate on what he couldn’t do? Why not focus on what he could? This basic philosophy, along with her belief in the power of ordinary childhood experiences (softball, picnics, s’mores around the campfire) and the importance of play, helped Kristine overcome huge odds. The Barnetts were not wealthy people, and in addition to financial hardship, Kristine herself faced serious health issues. But through hard work and determination on behalf of Jake and his two younger brothers, as well as an undying faith in their community, friends, and family, Kristine and Michael prevailed.
