    The Arborist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min
    When eleven-year-old Charlie Roebecker befriends Chief Goodyear, a homeless evacuee from Hurricane Katrina, he is not expecting any miracles. As he says, you can do only small things to fix a big problem. Chief Goodyear is an arborist - a fixer of trees. Along with the stray dog he has brought from the flooded city, he leaves an overcrowded relief shelter in search of work and space to breath. His arrival starts Charlie on a mission to help the stranger get a new start. As Christmas nears, Charlie's family make their annual trip to the tree lot where they choose the perfect tree. Charlie brings home a scrawny little pine with a crooked trunk and no top - The Puny - which he plans to decorate and give to the Chief. Charlie's sister calls it a sick midget tree puked from the forest. His best friend says it's creepy looking. But Charlie knows better. He has the imagination to see what the little tree might become. And in the hands of an arborist - who knows what could happen! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jamil Gaines.

    The Laughter of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 428min
    Deep in my soul I heard the laughter of God ringing in silvery cadences through the timbers of my being, breaking the human bonds and limitation as a strong yet gentle wind in the forest sweeping aside the strands of cobweb. The hard, fast knots that I had tried, slipped loose, and the snarls of beliefs broke free. The river of my human life, frozen by 1,001 false ideas and teachings, broke joyously into expression and went bounding to the infinite sea of Life, to be lost and found at the same time. One dark cave of fear after another was illuminated by the light of this laughter and swampy areas of sick thoughts were dried up instantly. Parched sands of hopelessness and futile efforts were drenched by the living waters sucked in - absorbed instantly like a wave breaking on the sands. God laughing at me and my puny efforts to make things happen; to make heaven appear; to attain the son-ship. Not the laugh of derision, but of infinite compassion - a laughter so deep and sweet, so pure and glorious that everything in the nature of struggle gave way before it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Alien Dragon's Mate: Aliens of Renjer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    Ash Thibodeaux has spent her entire life in the shadow of the Dragon, feeling its hot breath drift across her soul in stories regaled by her aging Gram. The tales and fables that are woven in the dark could chill a heart...if Ash didn’t have a darker knowledge...and task. Demons wash through the land, possessing friends and strangers alike, and Ash is the only one that can see, or stop, them. Burdened with a voodoo-infused sword and skills honed from a lifetime of training, the slight girl moonlights as an anonymous hunter, until a sudden storm gathers her being in a bolt of lightning and sends her careening far away to the world of Renjer, where Demons and Dragons dwell. Suddenly surrounded by dozens of towering Devils, Ash has no choice but to fight, yet when the twisted creatures lay dead at her feet, she encounters the biggest shock of all...a Dragon.Facing off with a puny human is not Xilon’s idea of a good day, but there is an aura about this girl that awakens something inside him, something he thought long since dead. When she falls to a ring of Demons, Xilon knows he will stop at nothing to find her...and keep her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kalinda Little.

    A Brief History of Brief Lives of the English Monarchs: Brief Histories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 846min
    This audiobook contains sharp and enjoyable new portraits of the English kings and queens. Hunchbacked Richard III, the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I, the grieving widow Victoria, and the romantic who gave up his throne for love, Edward VIII - often the colourful kings and queens of England seem like mere caricature, while less familiar rulers like William IV or Henry VI have faded into the shadows of history. Carolly Erickson's sensitive and revealing portrayals bring new life to the big names, and light up some of our most neglected but intriguing royals. Here is the puny Charles I, nervous, tense and socially awkward, the frail slight Richard II, melancholic and sad, the homosexual James I with his handsome favourites, and the stuttering William II. Every monarch from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II is covered. Award-winning historian Erickson tells the human stories with her characteristic blend of authenticity, engaging style and psychological insight. Carolly Erickson is a distinguished historian and the author of The First Elizabeth, Great Catherine, Alexandra, and a dozen other prize winning biographies. Her PhD in medieval history from Columbia University, New York, led her to six years as a college professor then to a career as a full-time writer. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Mastery of Destiny , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    There is, and always has been, a widespread belief in fate, or destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. This belief has arisen from long observation of the facts of life.Men are conscious that there are certain occurrences which they cannot control, and are powerless to avert. Birth and death, for instance, are inevitable, and many of the incidents of life appear equally inevitable.Men strain every nerve for the attainment of certain ends, and gradually they become conscious of a Power which seems to be not of themselves, which frustrates their puny efforts, and laughs, as it were, at their fruitless striving and struggle.As men advance in life, they learn to submit, more or less, to this overruling power which they do not understand, perceiving only its effects in themselves and the world around them, and they call it by various names, such as God, providence, fate, destiny, etc.Men of contemplation, such as poets and philosophers, step aside, as it were, to watch the movements of this mysterious Power as it seems to elevate its favorites on the one hand, and strike down its victims on the other, without reference to merit or demerit. ungekürzt.

    The Usurpers: The SF Classic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 296min
    This is a 1950s pulp alien invasion shocker too intense for book publication! When The Usurpers first appeared in the magazine Imagination during the early 1950s, Nebula and Hugo Award winner Robert Silverberg wrote that Geoff St. Reynard's work is "off the beaten track". The concept of aliens masquerading in human form is not at all new, but this story is different and powerful and considered a minor sci-fi classic. Considered too strong by the book publishers of the era, The Usurpers has never been republished in the past decades since. Now, you can listen to this science fiction classic and judge for yourself. Here is a story that is bound to remind you of Night of the Living Dead and The Thing.Science fiction often speculated about whether aliens might walk the Earth masquerading as human beings. Jerry Wolfe discovered it was true. He had seen the aliens in their actual form. He must be high, you say. Don't laugh! Your best friend is one of them. Discover what happens when a handful of brave men and women decide to pit their puny forces against the might of Earth's secret masters and the governments they control! You will find romance, action, and daring speculation in this lost classic, in its first ever audiobook publication. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Bufton.

    Androcles and the Lion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
    Androcles and the Lion By George Bernard Shaw Presented by The Online Stage George Bernard Shaw based his "religious pantomime" Androcles and the Lion on the ancient fable of the runaway slave who pulls a painful thorn from a lion's paw, thereby making a lifelong friend. Shaw explained that his play was in part a reaction to the huge success of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan: "I wrote Androcles to show what a play for children should be like." This tale of a puny Greek tailor triumphing over the Roman emperor is, as always with Shaw, a commentary on the politics of his time, with the emperor standing in for the British government and, indeed, all repressive regimes. Androcles and the Lion will delight audiences of all ages by alternating laughter with pathos, philosophy with fun, and satire with sincerity. Cast Narrator (G.B.

    The Science of Discworld: Revised Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 825min
    In the 'fantasy' universe of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, everything runs on magic and common sense. The world is flat and million-to-one chances happen nine times out of ten. Our world seems different - it runs on rules, often rather strange ones. Science is our way of finding out what those rules are. The appeal of Discworld is that it mostly makes sense, in a way that particle physics does not. The Science of Discworld uses the magic of Discworld to illuminate the scientific rules that govern our world. When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. Roundworld is, of course, our own universe. With us inside it(eventually). Guided (if that's the word) by the wizards, we follow its story from the primal singularity of the Big Bang to the Internet and beyond. We discover how puny and insignificant individual lives are against a cosmic backdrop of creation and disaster. Yet, paradoxically, we see how the richness of a universe based on rules has led to a complex world and at least one species that tried to get a grip on what was going on. . . ungekürzt.
