  Cry in the Night , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min

  Bree and Samson discover a crying infant in the snowy Rock Harbor forest. But where are the baby's parents? And how did she get there? A mysterious sound leads search-and-rescue worker Bree Matthews and her dog, Samson, to an abandoned baby in the woods outside Rock Harbor, Michigan. Bree takes the baby girl in and begins to search for the mother - presumably the woman reported missing just days earlier. While teams scour the wintery forests, Bree ferrets out clues about the woman. Where is she, and why did she leave the child behind? And how does that connect to Bree's first husband's mysterious death years ago in the Upper Peninsula? Everything Bree thought she knew about her life changes with the sound of a cry in the night. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Devon Oday.

  Against the Grain

  Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains, and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative. The first agrarian states, says James C. Scott, were born of accumulations of domestications: first fire, then plants, livestock, subjects of the state, captives, and finally women in the patriarchal family - all of which can be viewed as a way of gaining control over reproduction. Scott explores why we avoided sedentism and plow agriculture, the advantages of mobile subsistence, the unforeseeable disease epidemics arising from crowding plants, animals, and grain, and why all early states are based on millets and cereal grains and unfree labor. He also discusses the "barbarians" who long evaded state control, as a way of understanding continuing tension between states and nonsubject peoples.

  Short Course in Beer: An Introduction to Tasting and Talking About the World's Most Civilized Beverage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min

  Love beer. Sound smart. Drink well. Straightforward and opinionated, Short Course in Beer is designed to turn the novice beer lover into an expert imbiber and the casual drinker into an enthusiast. Readers will come to understand the beauty of beer and the sources of its flavor, as well as learn which beers are worth our time and which are not. With tongue in cheek, the author examines beer's historical connections to the Crusades, the Hundred Years' War, and modern-day soccer riots. He talks frankly (and joyfully) about the effects of alcohol on the body and brain, he defends beer from its enemies, and ushers it out of the frat house and into the dining room. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter are designed to stimulate lively conversations, presumably over a glass of equally lively beer. At last a beer course for smarties! ungekürzt.

  Men Without Women, Hörbuch, Digital, 244min

  First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these 14 stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. In "Banal Story", Hemingway offers a lasting tribute to the famed matador Maera. "In Another Country" tells of an Italian major recovering from war wounds as he mourns the untimely death of his wife. "The Killers" is the hard-edged story about two Chicago gunmen and their potential victim. Nick Adams makes an appearance in "Ten Indians," in which he is presumably betrayed by his Indian girlfriend, Prudence. And "Hills Like White Elephants" is a young couple's subtle, heartwrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer. Language: English. Narrator: Stacy Keach.

  Jesus in India: The Lost Years of the Son of God Revealed: The New Age Christian Scrolls, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min

  Is it true that Jesus went to India, where he was presumably influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism?If not, why are there so many coincidences between these religions and his spiritual teachings? Why does the New Testament keep silent regarding his life from his 12th year to his 30th, when he began his public mission? What happened during those 17 years silenced by the authors of the four gospels?Did he stay with his parents, as most Christians claim, or did he visit distant nations, including the land of the Ganges?Hoping to answer these questions, the mission of this book is to unbury the truth and shed some light on the matter, based on the coincidences between Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, as well as on the information contained in three major texts that mention Jesus’s alleged trip to India:The Life of Saint Issa published by Nicolas Notovitch (1895)Mystic Christianity by Yogi Ramacharaka(1908)The Aquarian Gospel by Levi (1911) ungekürzt.

  The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, Hörbuch, Digital, 1500min

  The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (1914) is a novel by Robert Tressell. Clearly frustrated at the refusal of his contemporaries to recognize the inequity and iniquity of society, Tressell’s cast of hypocritical Christians, exploitative capitalists and corrupt councilors provide a backdrop for his main target - the workers who think that a better life is "not for the likes of them". Hence the title of the book; Tressell paints the workers as "philanthropists" who throw themselves into backbreaking work for poverty wages in order to generate profit for their masters.The hero of the book, Frank Owen, is a socialist who believes that the capitalist system is the real source of the poverty. He tries to convince his fellow workers of his worldview, but finds that their education has trained them to distrust their own thoughts. Much of the book consists of conversations, or more often of lectures by Owen in the face of their jeering; presumably based on Tressell’s own experiences. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Green.

  Killer Pursuit: An Allison McNeil Thriller, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min

  When a high-society call girl is murdered in her Georgetown home, investigators find two cameras hidden in the walls of her bedroom. One has its memory erased, presumably by the murderer. The second is connected to the Internet through an encrypted connection...and no one knows who's on the other end. Special Agent Allison McNeil is asked by beleaguered FBI Director Clarence Mason to run an off-the-record investigation of the murder because of the murder's similarity to a case she worked a year earlier. Allison knows the most direct path to apprehending the killer is to find the videos, but the rumors that the victim's client list may have included Mason's political enemies has her worried about the director's motives. As she starts her investigation, she quickly discovers that she's not the only one pursuing the videos. In fact, the most aggressive person racing against her might be the murderer himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joyce Bean.
