    Portrait of a Spy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and assassin, returns in a spellbinding new novel from the number one New York Times best-selling author. For Gabriel and his beautiful Venetian-born wife, Chiara, it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London - a visit to an art gallery in St. James’s to authenticate a newly discovered painting by Titian, followed by a quiet lunch at an Italian restaurant along the Strand. But a pair of deadly bombings in Paris and Hamburg has already marred this sparkling autumn day. And while walking along Wellington Street, the ever-vigilant Gabriel notices a man whom he believes is about to carry out a third attack. The man is exhibiting several traits common to suicide bombers - traits that Gabriel, one of the world’s most experienced counterterrorism officers, knows all too well. Armed with a concealed Beretta pistol, he follows the man into the crowded Covent Garden market, determined to prevent the massacre of innocents he fears is about to take place. But before Gabriel can draw his weapon, he is knocked to the pavement by two undercover London police officers. A moment later he looks up to find a scene from his nightmares: bodies and blood, Baghdad on the Thames.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    A Brief Guide to Self-Help Classics: From How to Win Friends and Influence People to The Chimp Paradox , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
    From Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, published in 1936, which has sold over 30 million copies to date, to the mind management programme of Professor Steve Peters' The Chimp Paradox, a concise and insightful guide to 70 of the most influential self-help books ever published.An entertaining, accessible companion, for listeners of self-help books and sceptics alike. The titles include classics on achieving success, confidence and happiness, mindfulness, how to change your life, self-control, overcoming anxiety and self-esteem issues and stress relief. The chronological arrangement of the titles reveals the intriguing story of how early self-improvement titles were succeeded by increasingly personality-based, materialistic titles and shows how breakout classics often influenced other titles for decades to come. Each book is summarised to convey a brief idea of what it has to offer the interested listener, while a 'Speed Read' for each book delivers a quick sense of what each writer is like to listen to and a highly compressed summary of the main points of the book in question. This is a work of reference to dip into, that acknowledges that some of the most powerful insights into ourselves can be found in texts that aren't perceived as being 'self-help' books, and that wisdom and consolation can be found in the strangest places. ungekürzt.

    Struggle for Sea Power: A Naval History of the American Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 950min
    The American Revolution was a naval war of immense scope and variety, including no less than 22 navies fighting on five oceans - to say nothing of rivers and lakes. In no other war were so many large-scale fleet battles fought, one of which was the most strategically significant naval battle in all of British, French, and American history. Simultaneous naval campaigns were fought in the English Channel, in the North and Mid-Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, off South Africa, in the Indian Ocean, in the Caribbean, in the Pacific, in the North Sea and, of course, off the Eastern Seaboard of America. Not until the Second World War would any nation actively fight in so many different theaters. In The Struggle for Sea Power, Sam Willis traces every key military event in the path to American independence from a naval perspective, and he brings this important viewpoint to bear on economic, political, and social developments that were fundamental to the success of the Revolution. In doing so, Willis offers valuable new insights to American, British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian history. The result is a far more profound understanding of the influence of sea power upon history, of the American path to independence, and of the rise and fall of the British Empire. ungekürzt.

    The Harsh Cry of the Heron: Tales of the Otori, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1196min
    Set 15 years after the seismic events of Brilliance of the Moon, The Harsh Cry of the Heron is an elegiac and bittersweet successor to the best-selling series by Lian Hearn, Tales of the Otori. Otori Takeo and Kaede have ruled the Three Countries peacefully for over 16 years, following the events laid out in the epic Tales of the Otori. They have three daughters: Shigeko, 15 years old and heir to the Otori, and Maya and Miki, 13-year-old twins who have inherited the supernatural skills of their father. Kaede knows nothing of the prophecy that Takeo will die at the hands of his son and longs to give him a male child. Nor does she know of the boy he fathered 16 years ago - a boy whose heart is filled with hatred and whose skills as a Ghostmaster give him the power to incite the dead. Takeo is determined that clan conflicts will never again ravage the Three Countries, but warriors are born to fight: the warlord Arai Zenko has deadly ambitions, the Emperor himself has challenged Takeo's rule and, despite a delicate truce between the deadly Tribe and the Otori, revenge still eats at the heart of renegade leader Kikuta Akio.... Against these gathering threats, Takeo draws strength from his love for Kaede, but even this is not beyond the reach of their enemies.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ragged Dick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 309min
    Ragged Dick is the story of a young bootblack living and working in the streets of a post-Civil War New York City. It follows his rise from a street kid to the respectable middle class. The original publication, released as a six volume series, came to depict a time of post-war struggle through the eyes of its young victims, vagabond children. Originally written as young-adult moral tales using the classic rags-to-riches theme, Ragged Dick is also Algers' timeless snapshot into an all but forgotten period in American history, and the ever relevant struggle for economic and social status. Horatio Alger was born on January 13, 1834 in Chelsea, Massachusettes. Alger began writing in earnest and being a published author at the age of 17. After graduating from Harvard, Alger obtained a position in ministry in a Unitarian Church, but was dismissed on scandalous and incriminating charges. Around 1866, Alger moved to New York, a time that marked the beginning of a very successful writing career. Around this time, the Ragged Dick series was being published as a serial, and in 1868 it was published as a complete novel. In New York City, Alger took a special and personal interest in the street children and became a frequent visitor to their popular haunts. Perhaps this is what gave him a clear insight into their trials and tribulations and aided in creating the simple yet timeless story of Ragged Dick. Eventually, Alger took two street children into his home and informally adopted them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hagen.

    It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 384min
    The story of Captain D. Michael Abrashoff and his command of USS Benfold has become legendary inside and outside the Navy. Now Abrashoff offers this fascinating tale of top-down change for anyone trying to navigate today's uncertain business seas. When Captain Abrashoff took over as commander of the Benfold, a ship armed with every cutting-edge system available, it was like a business that had all the latest technology but only some of the productivity. Knowing that responsibility for improving performance rested with him, he realized he had to improve his own leadership skills before he could improve his ship. Within months he created a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the initiative and take responsibility for their actions. The slogan on board became "It's your ship," and Benfold was soon recognized far and wide as a model of naval efficiency. How did Abrashoff do it? Against the backdrop of today's United States Navy - Benfold was a key player in our Persian Gulf fleet - Abrashoff shares his secrets of successful management including: See the ship through the eyes of the crew: By soliciting a sailor's suggestions, Abrashoff drastically reduced tedious chores that provided little additional value. Communicate, communicate, communicate: The more Abrashoff communicated the plan, the better the crew's performance. His crew would eventually call him "Megaphone Mike", since they heard from him so often. Create discipline by focusing on purpose: Discipline skyrocketed when Abrashoff's crew believed that what they were doing was important. Listen aggressively: After learning that many sailors wanted to use the GI Bill, Abrashoff brought a test official aboard the ship-and held the SATs forty miles off the Iraqi coast. From achieving amazing cost savings to winning the highest gunnery score in the Pacific Fleet, Captain Abrashoff's extraordinar ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D. Michael Abrashoff.

    Als Tomek Besuch bekam: Ringelgasse 19, 3, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min
    Pia freut sich so sehr auf ihren Geburtstag. Aber leider wird Pia bestimmt wieder nicht ihren größten Wunsch erfüllt bekommen - Pia wünscht sich: ein Pferd. Natürlich wissen auch ihre Freunde von diesem Wunsch und sie überlegen, wie sie Pia eine Freude machen könnten. Kurze Zeit später herrscht höchste Betriebsamkeit in der Ringelgasse 19. Dinge verschwinden und die Kinder benehmen sich sehr seltsam. Pia bäckt derweil ihren Geburtstagskuchen und bekommt (fast) nichts mit. Am nächsten Morgen erlebt Pia eine große Überraschung... Wie immer spielen die Kinder im Hof. Auch Fußball. Tomek schießt, Willi hält und dann - brauchen sie einen neuen Fußball. Doch sie haben kein Geld um einen neuen zu kaufen. Da haben die Zwillinge die Idee einen Flohmarkt zu veranstalten. Alle Bewohner aus der Ringelgasse 19 sollen mitmachen. Dann werden sie genug Geld für einen neuen Fußball haben. Es machen wirklich alle aus der Ringelgasse 19 mit, aber dann muss Willi feststellen, dass alle lieber tauschen, anstatt die Sachen für Geld zu verkaufen. So war das ja nicht gedacht. Und dann kommt auch noch Herr Ernst! Pia ist das einzige Kind in der Ringelgasse 19, das keinen Papa hat. Sowas kommt vor. Pia hätte es so gern, wenn Herr Ernst, der Zeichenlehrer, ihr Papa werden würde. Die anderen haben Ideen, wie das wirklich passieren könnte. Das ist sehr lustig, aber Pia hat eine Pizza gebacken. Pizza Hawaii - Herrn Ernsts Lieblingspizza... Kalt ist es auf dem Hof der Ringelgasse 19 und ungemütlich. Keiner hat Lust, draußen zu spielen. Willi schlägt vor, ob sie nicht zusammen etwas drinnen machen könnten. Zum Beispiel: ESSEN! Aber dazu müssten sie erst einmal etwas KOCHEN. Eine gute Idee und zusammen kochen sie - Spaghetti. Bis zu den Spaghetti geht dann alles gut, aber als der Ketchup ins Spiel kommt, passiert ein Malheur... und in einer Viertelstunde kommen Willis Eltern vom Einkaufen. deutsch.
