Zero Hour: A Novel from the NUMA Files, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min

The dazzling new novel in the #1 New York Times best-selling series from the grand master of adventure. It is called zero point energy, and it really exists - a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however - until one scientist discovers a way. Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them, and soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors and unchecked volcanism. Now, that can't be good. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/002116/bk_peng_002116_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Her Own Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min

For decades, Della Brown has tried to forget her service as a US Army nurse in Vietnam. But when she receives a letter from a fellow combat nurse, once her closest friend, all the memories come flooding back: Della's nightmarish introduction to the Twelfth Evacuation Hospital, where every bed held a patient hideously wounded in ways never mentioned in nursing school. The day she learned how to tell young men they were about to die. The night her chopper pilot boyfriend failed to return from his mission. She must also confront the fissures in her family life, the mystery of her father's disappearance, the things mothers and daughters cannot - maybe should not - know about one another, and the lifelong repercussions of a single mistake.

Glaciers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min

Isabel is a single, twentysomething thrift-store shopper and collector of remnants, things cast off or left behind by others. Glaciers follows Isabel through a day in her life in which work with damaged books in the basement of a library, unrequited love for the former soldier who fixes her computer, and dreams of the perfect vintage dress move over a backdrop of deteriorating urban architecture and the imminent loss of the glaciers she knew as a young girl in Alaska. Glaciers unfolds internally, the action shaped by Isabel’s sense of history, memory, and place, recalling the work of writers such as Jean Rhys, Marguerite Duras, and Virginia Woolf. For Isabel, the fleeting moments of one day can reveal an entire life. While she contemplates loss and the intricate fissures it creates in our lives, she accumulates the stories - the remnants - of those around her and she begins to tell her own story. Show More.

Nine Inches: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min

The new collection from the New York Times best-selling author of The Leftovers and Little Children, featuring stories focusing on Perrotta's familiar suburban nuclear families. Tom Perrotta’s first book, Bad Haircut, consisted of linked stories featuring a shared protagonist. Now, 19 years later, he has written and compiled his first true short story collection. This 12-story book features a group set in Perrotta’s trademark suburban setting, focusing on the fissures in families and unexpected connections among members of typical American communities, including “Senior Season” and "Nine Inches". Others offerings here showcase Perrotta's assured, smooth writing, but may surprise fans with new protagonists and concerns. One of these twistier stories is “The Smile on Happy Chang’s Face”, which was the Boston Book Festival’s first all-city One City, One Story selection in 2010. Following up on his dramatic and best-selling novel The Leftovers, which is being developed by HBO as a series, Nine Inches is a varied and interesting audiobook from one of our most thoughtful and elegant writers. ungekürzt.

Occipital Circus: And Other Stories Regarding Phrenology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min

A truly eclectic, psychological horror story collection, in which the true monsters are those that skulk about the darkest wrinkles and fissures of the human brain...Decades ago, the sciences of the brain were in their infancy. One such science was phrenology. Phrenology concerned the study of the skull to deduce the qualities of the brain, and thus the aptitudes of the person themselves. It seems silly today, but it laid the foundation for later work, including the discipline of modern nanoscience and embodied cognition.Listening to triggers neural responses in the brain that mimic the stimuli of actual activities. Will you subject yourself to the cerebral storm? Leaving your mind awash in the shadows and phantoms of reality, flickering electrical impulses to tease your senses as you make your way down a dark and winding path into the mire of cerebral horror.You’ll find no ghosts here. No pale, cold vampires with fetid breath. No werewolves baying at the moon. Only the tangling cobwebs and mildewed, dusty chambers of the one place mankind may never truly understand. Our own minds. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Norman Beck. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/229254/bk_acx0_229254_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Mapping the Cold War: Cartography and the Framing of America's International Power , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 645min

In this fascinating history of Cold War cartography, Timothy Barney considers maps as central to the articulation of ideological tensions between American national interests and international aspirations. Barney argues that the borders, scales, projections, and other conventions of maps prescribed and constrained the means by which foreign policy elites, popular audiences, and social activists navigated conflicts between north and south, east and west. Maps also influenced how identities were formed in a world both shrunk by advancing technologies and marked by expanding and shifting geopolitical alliances and fissures. Pointing to the necessity of how politics and values were "spatialized" in recent US history, Barney argues that Cold War-era maps themselves had rhetorical lives that began with their conception and production and played out in their circulation within foreign-policy circles and popular media. Reflecting on the ramifications of spatial power during the period, Mapping the Cold War ultimately demonstrates that even in the 21st century, American visions of the world - and the maps that account for them - are inescapably rooted in the anxieties of that earlier era. ungekürzt.
