Your Vehicle Is an Extension of You! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min

Your Vehicle Is an Extension of You! is an all-encompassing book that addresses the philosophy of proactive auto care and how our vehicles reflect how we see and the strategies we employ to improve ourselves. As long as we improve ourselves, we improve our families and communities. We improve driving and motor safety overall. We also connect with our children in a fashion that is applicable far beyond simply keeping the vehicle clean; this is addressed in tools noted in the book such as Bentley Brandon's "Backseat Pledge". We have to have a vehicle mindset. Second only to our house, a vehicle is the most significant investment we make. We have to consider that auto care is still a hands-on art and science. Machine washing really destroys paint jobs and chrome, and leaves years of debris that could easily be removed by hand. We have to remember there is a respect we have to have for our vehicle, our passengers, and ourselves. Our passengers need to respect each other, our immediate safety, and the focus needed by the driver to perform accordingly. This ensures safe travel and a peaceful driving atmosphere. With Bentley Car Care tips, we can generate checklists to address and assess where we are as people, vehicle owners, passengers, and fellow motorists as far as safety and safeguarding the quality of the vehicle in which we drive or ride. ungekürzt.

Desert Duty: On the Line with the U.S. Border Patrol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min

While politicians and pundits endlessly debate immigration policy, US Border Patrol agents put their lives on the line to enforce immigration law. In a day's work, agents may catch a load of narcotics, apprehend groups of people entering the country illegally, and intercept a potential terrorist. Their days often include rescuing aliens from death by thirst or murder by border bandits, preventing neighborhood assaults and burglaries, and administering first aid to accident victims, and may involve delivering an untimely baby or helping stranded motorists. As Bill Broyles and Mark Haynes sum it up, "Border Patrol is a hero job", one that too often goes unrecognized by the public. Desert Duty puts a human face on the Border Patrol. It features interviews with 19 active-duty and retired agents who have worked at the Wellton, Arizona, station that watches over what is arguably the most perilous crossing along the border - a sparsely populated region of the Sonoran Desert with little water and summer temperatures that routinely top 110 degrees. The agents candidly discuss the rewards and frustrations of holding the line against illegal immigrants, smugglers, and other criminals - while often having to help the very people they are trying to thwart when they get into trouble in the desert. As one agent explains, "The thrill is tracking 'em up before they die. It's a rough ol' way to go - run outta water in this desert". The book is published by University of Texas Press. ungekürzt.

Cops and Robbers: The History of the British Police Car , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 820min

TV presenter and all-round car nut Ant Anstead takes the listener on a journey that mirrors the development of the motor car itself from a stuttering 20mph annoyance that scared everyone's horses to 150mph pursuits with aerial support and sophisticated electronic tracking. The British Police Force's relationship with the car started with the chasing of pioneer speeding motorists, who were often caught by policemen on bicycles. However, as speed restrictions eased in the early 20th century and car ownership increased, the police embraced the car. Crime was becoming intrinsically linked to the car; criminals were stealing them to sell on or to use as getaway vehicles, and the police needed to stay ahead, or at least only one step behind. The arms race for speed, which culminated in the police acquiring high-speed pursuit vehicles such as Subaru Impreza Turbos, had begun. Ant Anstead spent the first seven years of his working life as a cop. Growing up watching The Professionals and other TV programmes initially fired his enthusiasm, partly because of the cars; who doesn't love a handbrake-turning Capri? However, Ant was a serious copper who succeeded in the force and joined the armed response team, one of the force's most elite units. Ant never lost his love of cars, though, especially police cars. In this fascinating new history of the British police car, Ant looks at the classic police cars, from the Met's Wolseleys to the motorway patrol car officers most loved, the Senator, via unusual unexpected police vehicles such as an Arial Atom. It's a must-listen for car enthusiasts, social historians and anyone who just loves a good car chase. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ant Anstead.

Death by Liberalism : The Fatal Outcome of Well-Meaning Liberal Policies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min

More Americans have been killed by well-meaning liberal policies than by all the wars of the last century combined. J. R. Dunn not only analyzes the unintended consequences of liberal policies, but argues that these consequences have resulted in millions of fatalities in the United States and around the world. Liberalism sees itself as a rational and helpful philosophy that seeks to use the benign power of the government to improve our safety, health, and general welfare. In doing so, it relies on the authority of experts to devise the most rational means of realizing these goals. Unfortunately, when these well-meaning plans go awry, as they too often do, the results can be disastrous, even deadly. As J. R. Dunn persuasively argues in this thoroughly documented book, death by liberalism occurs in all fields and at all levels of society. Motorists, workers, even children taken under the state's protection all have fallen victim to liberal policies. What's more, the numbers are staggering. Liberalism can be implicated in the deaths of hundreds of thousands in this country, and millions worldwide. Dunn's detailed and deliberative account takes no cheap shots but relies on well-established facts to show liberalism's fatal consequences in numerous aspects of our lives, from crime and abortion to fuel-efficiency standards and the banning of DDT, from gun control to urban renewal. Dunn also pinpoints areas in which liberal interventions in the making are likely to produce more suffering and death, such as legal euthanasia, and identifies some of the leading liberals - including George Soros - behind the spread of these lethal initiatives. ungekürzt.

The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 947min

The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds takes you on a merry romp with a band of twenty-something idealists looking for love and hoping to change the world in an alternate universe in which the Kennedys were not assassinated and the Vietnam War ended before it began. Joining in the fun are President Richard Nixon and Dr. Timothy Leary, the escaped convict Nixon calls "the most dangerous man in the world" for turning America's youth into no-good hippies. Nixon is the same profane, venal S-O-B that made him such a hit in our universe, but here he is unleashed in a world where there was no Vietnam War to slow him down and Watergate is just a fancy hotel. Elected on a pledge to wage an unrelenting "war on drugs," Nixon instead confronts a different kind of war: an energy war. The Arab oil embargo is driving the country toward a second Great Depression as motorists line up for hours to buy gasoline at any price. Desperate for alternatives to oil, Nixon learns of a plant which produces three times more biomass per acre than corn. America could farm its way to energy independence in just five short years. A secret weapon has dropped in Nixon's lap, but he is shocked to learn that, under another name, the secret weapon which could defeat the oil cartel is a primary target of his War on Drugs. If he can lead America to energy independence by convincing conservatives to legalize cultivation of the plant Thomas Jefferson called "America's most valuable crop" in the name of national security, the final spot on Mount Rushmore will be his. Nixon knows that only a law-and-order, hippie-bashing conservative like himself could hope to buck America's richest families and most powerful corporations to pull off a caper this crazy. ungekürzt.

The Haunted City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min

Running parallel to the conventional history of Liverpool ... there is an unseen seam of supernatural stories that have been largely ignored by the strait-laced historians,' says Torn Slemen, who is, of course, fascinated by this other history and no subject matter is too strange or too terrifying to merit his scrutiny. While some stories may prove to be nothing more than urban myths, many turn out to be only too spine-chillingly true. Take for example the phantom mare of Dovecot House, which wreaked revenge on Ralph Walsh, the man who had poisoned her... Plus: The chilling case of the greedy Toxteth man who was willing to sacrifice the soul of a homeless man to obtain the winning Euromillions Lottery numbers from the Devil The psychopathic doppelganger that attempted to kill its flesh-and-blood counterpart. The "Red Menace" - a ghastly zombie-like being that has stalked Liverpool children for decades. The Phantom Road that appears on the M62 and hypnotically draws motorists to their deaths. The gut-wrenching story of the Wind from Hell - when a raging hurricane uprooted trees and coffins galore in St James's Cemetery - was it a natural occurrence - or the result of a gypsy's curse? This story is not to be read if you have a weak stomach! The well-documented case of the "Sefton Park Vampires" who terrorised a party of students in the 1960s. The boy who was stalked by a "fetch" - a creepy little wizened figure of an old woman who followed the child home to...well, you'll have to read the book to find out. The terrifying case of a bizarre, apparently cannibalistic entity known as "Hilty" who had his lair in a derelict house on William Henry Street The bizarre case of the four suicides committed across Liverpool on the same night that linked up to form a perfect geometric design on a map of the city... Plus many more strange tales from Liverpool' ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Priscilla Finch. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/019465/bk_acx0_019465_sample.mp3.

Smooth Talker: Trail of Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min

One morning in July 1974, Anita Andrews, the owner and bartender at Fagiani's Cocktail Lounge in Napa, California was found dead in her bar - raped, beaten, and stabbed to death in a bloody frenzy. She'd last been seen alive the night before talking to a drifter who sat at the end of the bar, playing cards and flirting with her. But the stranger, along with Anita's Cadillac, had disappeared. Unable to locate a suspect, police investigators sadly watched the case grow cold over the years.Meanwhile, a month after Anita's murder, young Michele Wallace was driving down a road in the mountains near Crested Butte, Colorado, when she gave two stranded motorists, Chuck Matthews and a man named Roy, a ride. Dropping Matthews off at a bar in Gunnison, she agreed to take Roy to his truck. She was never seen alive again, nor could a massive search of the mountains locate her remains. The trail leading to her killer also ran into dead-ends. Fourteen years later, Charlotte Sauerwin, engaged to be married, met a smooth-talking man at a laundromat in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. The next evening, her body was found in the woods; she'd been raped, tortured, and her throat slashed. The police suspected her fiance, Vince LeJeune, though he proclaimed his innocence to anyone who would listen. Meanwhile, the man from the laundromat couldn't be located. The three murders would remain unsolved, eating at the hearts, minds and lives of the women's families, friends and communities. Then in the early 1990s, a rookie Gunnison County sheriff's investigator named Kathy Young began looking into the Wallace case and identified a suspect named Roy Melanson, a serial rapist from Texas. Smooth Talker is the story of Melanson, his depredations, and the intrepid police work that went into bringing him to justice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce.
