    The Architectural Project: Studies in Architecture and Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    In this challenging interpretation of design education and its effect on design process and products, Argentinean scholar Alfonso Corona-Martinez emphasizes the distinction between an architectural project, created in the architect’s mind and materialized as a set of drawings on paper, and the realized three-dimensional building.Corona-Martinez demonstrates how representation plays a substantial role in determining both the notion and the character of architecture, and he traces this relationship from the Renaissance into the modern era, giving detailed considerations of functionalism and typology. His argument clarifies the continuity in the practice of design method through the 19th and 20th centuries, a continuity that has been obscured by the emphasis on changing goals instead of design procedures, and examines the influences of modernity and the legend of the Bauhaus.He concludes that the methods formalized in Beaux Arts teaching are not only still with us but are in good part responsible for the stylistic instability that haunts modern architecture.Abstract but not abstruse, The Architectural Project provides clear information for a deeper understanding of the process of design and its results. More so than any other recent text, it shows the scope and richness of the field of speculation in architecture.The book is published by Texas A&M University Press.

    Pablo Escobar: The Hustler of Both Worlds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 265min
    Smugglers groomed him. His head was full of the legends of rebels striking back, exposed to nadaismo and priests joining the revolution. He tried college. Traffickers and illicit markets have always been there. He searched for ways to help the poor and find validation as a respectable man. He tasted success in both worlds. His dream was to become wealthy, but Pablo Escobar was born into La Violencia. Established power held the trauma of violence at their fingertips. He learned that lesson well. He spotted an opportunity and hustled. The government could flex its power without consequence. Families born into wealth held the reins. Others developed their power the best way they could. His riches by appearances materialized from vast real estate successes. He became a master of his own making before the war on drugs where a known history of smuggling was acceptable. To many, his was just another desirable cash crop. Motorcycle assassins, kidnappings and bribes secured his interests. Punishing anyone who defended extradition, Escobar coveted political influence. He cultivated powerful dictators and the eager in barrios looking to escape powerlessness. Feeling the limits of his power, the stakes were too high to turn away when he could. Hungry for narco-dollars, he was the boss offering opportunities. They could outsmart anyone and escape. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston.

    The Lodger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    According to legend, in 1910, Marie Belloc Lowndes attended a London dinner party where a guest told her that his mother’s butler and cook claimed they had once rented rooms to Jack the Ripper, the notorious mass murderer. The idea for The Lodger was born. Mr. and Mrs. Bunting have sunk their savings into their house with plans to let rooms. But no lodgers have materialized, and they are on the verge of penury when one foggy night, a knock on the door brings Mr. Sleuth, an unassuming gentleman whose needs are perfectly suited to the suite of rooms the Buntings have to let. They can’t believe their good fortune. Gradually, relief turns into suspicion, then dread, as Mrs. Bunting notices their savior’s strange habits are not mere eccentricities. When his late-night forays seem to coincide with the lurid headlines her husband reads to her about the grisly murders all over London, she slowly realizes she may be harboring a monster, and if he’s discovered, it will mean ruin for the Buntings. This is the original 1911 short story. Lowndes expanded it to a novel two years later, and the tale has spawned a radio play, five films, and an opera. Jack the Ripper’s identity was never discovered, but The Lodger offers a tantalizing possibility that has entertained and intrigued audiences for more than a century. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Crescent Lake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 590min
    What if your darkest sins materialized, seeking your annihilation? And what if your only salvation was to accept the touch of forgiveness from someone who could then claim your soul? This is the terrifying power Reverend Zachary Bright has over the townspeople of Silver Springs, Washington. In Crescent Lake, Nick Murphy, a mob informant trying to atone for his crimes - and his role in a tragic accident that killed his wife and daughter - is placed into a witness-relocation program and sent to a small, scenic town believed to be the perfect hideout. But from his first day in Silver Springs, he finds himself in a different kind of life-and-death struggle, one where his past sins have come back to haunt him. He and FBI agent Audrey Harper are quickly caught up in supernatural events and bizarre miracles, and must contend with a town besieged by religious fanaticism – and an enemy that can raise the dead. And while a ruthless mob assassin closes in on Nick’s location, Reverend Bright plans to expand his dark ministry across the country. Nick and Audrey must overcome their own dredged-up sins and then rally the few residents that have somehow resisted the Reverend’s influence. They will make a last stand against the whole town; but first, they must confront what rests at the bottom of the nearby lake - the source of the Reverend’s unholy power. ungekürzt.

    Land of the Free: Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
    No one knows the mountains of North Carolina like Raine Stockton and her search and rescue dog, Cisco. When they are called in to search for an elderly man who has wandered away from home, it seems like a routine mission until Raine looks through her binoculars and sees something she wasn't supposed to see. A dead man is very much alive, a felon is walking around free, and Raine is the only person who can testify to the fact. The problem is that no one takes her claims seriously...except the person who wants her dead. Unwillingly thrust into the midst of an unpleasant child custody battle and a hotly contested political race, Raine finds herself questioning her own judgment and is uncertain who to trust. Is she suffering from PTSD, or has a nightmare from her past materialized to haunt her? The police tell her one thing, her common sense tells her another. But when murder strikes too close to home, the hypothetical question becomes all too real, and no one is above suspicion: not the man Raine loves, not the man she once married, not even Raine herself. And they all must choose how far they're willing to go to protect the ones they love. In this thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that includes Home of the Brave, Dog Days, and Land of the Free, Raine and Cisco face their biggest challenge yet, and when it is over nothing will ever be the same. ungekürzt.

    The Starry Wisdom Library: The Catalogue of the Greatest Occult Book Auction of All Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
    Scholars and book collectors across the country have long pondered the intended fate of the infamous collection of rare occult books left to rot in the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence, Rhode Island, after the Starry Wisdom cult dispersed to parts unknown in the late 19th century. The recent shocking discovery of a previously unknown book auction catalogue issued in 1877 offers insight into the myriad mysteries of the cult. Entitled Catalogue of the Occult Library of the Recently Disbanded Church of Starry Wisdom of Providence, Rhode Island, and issued by the notorious Arkham firm Pent & Serenade, the catalogue reveals the long-suspected fact that the church intended to sell its library to finance its removal from Providence. The sale, of course, never materialized, as later events make obvious, but the book auction catalogue informs us of the cult's original intent and leaves for us an enormously valuable and fascinating piece of ephemera detailing the infamous collection of rare occult books in all of its dark and foreboding glory. Furthermore, the book auction catalogue is unique among its contemporaries in that the auction firm Pent & Serenade, recognizing the importance of the exceedingly rare volumes in the cult's possession, commissioned a wide variety of 19th-century scholars to write essays on the histories of the books offered at auction. As such, the catalogue is a uniquely, almost absurdly valuable item for scholars and collectors around the world and is presented here in exacting facsimile by PS Publishing. ungekürzt.

    Willpower: Growth Mindset and Mind Discipline to Reach Your Personal Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    Are you the master of your mind?  Success is about your mindset and about the discipline you have to put your inspiration into motion. It’s not just about how much you work, or how much you delegate. Sure, things happen when you put your nose to the grindstone, but much of your success depends on the mindset that stands behind the desire to succeed. That mindset needs to cover a wide area. From the necessary mindset to sculpt personal disciplines, to having a mindset of subscribing to optimal thought patterns. Success, as easy as it may seem from the bleachers, is a complex symphony of skills that work together within the body, mind, and spirit to yield output that forms the basis of your contribution to this world. Each person’s contribution is unique, but each person’s source of inspiration is the same - deep within themselves. We all have it. What we all don’t share is the level of efficiency that translates from thought to action, from persistence to accomplishment. This audiobook is about to change your life by showing you how to understand your place in this world and how you get your inspiration, and then go on to get your ideas materialized in the physical world that is all around us. It shows you how to invoke discipline and how to take a mediocre life and make it a success. Exactly what you're getting: First of all, this isn't like any self-improvement audiobook you've ever heard. There's no fluff or filler - just bulletproof points to improve your willpower and mind discipline. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gene Blake.

    Battalion Commanders at War: U.S. Army Tactical Leadership in the Mediterranean Theater, 1942-1943 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min
    Most histories of the US Army in World War II view the Mediterranean Theater of Operations primarily as a deadly training ground for very green forces, where lessons learned on the beaches of Oran, in the hills of the Kasserine Pass area, and at the collapse of the Tunis bridgehead all contributed to later success in Western Europe. Steven Barry, however, contends that victory in the MTO would not have materialized without the leadership of battalion-level commanders. They operated at a high level, despite the lack of combat experience for themselves and their troops, ineffective leadership at higher levels, and deficiencies in equipment, organization, and mobilization.  Barry portrays these officers as highly trained, adaptable, and courageous in their first combat experiences in North Africa and Sicily. Their leadership, he argues, brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality, and thus contributed significantly to battlefield success in North Africa and Sicily in 1942-1943. To explain how this happened, he examines their prewar experiences, including professional military education and unit training exercises; personal factors such as calmness and physical resilience under fire; and the ability to draw upon doctrine, creatively apply the resources at their disposal, and clearly define and communicate mission goals and means. He also reveals how battalion leaders incorporated technological innovations into combined arms maneuvers by employing tank capabilities and close air support doctrine.  As Barry's assessment shows, these battalion commanders were not the sole reason for the Allied triumph in North Africa and Sicily, but victory would not have been possible without the special brand of military leadership they exhibited throughout those campaigns. Under their leadership, even inexperienced units were able to deliver credible combat performance, and without the regular ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johnny Heller.
