    Sonic Wind: The Story of John Paul Stapp and How a Renegade Doctor Became the Fastest Man on Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 937min
    Sixty years ago, cars and airplanes were still death traps waiting to happen. Today, both are safer than ever, thanks in part to one pioneering air force doctor's research on seatbelts and ejection seats. The exploits of John Paul Stapp (1910-1999) come to thrilling life in this biography of a Renaissance man who was once blasted - faster than a .45 caliber bullet - across the desert in his Sonic Wind rocket sled, only to be slammed to a stop in barely a second. The experiment put him on the cover of Time magazine and allowed his swashbuckling team to gather the data needed to revolutionize automobile and aircraft design. But Stapp didn't stop there. From the legendary high-altitude balloon tests that ensued to the ferocious battles for car safety legislation, Craig Ryan's audiobook is as much a history of America's transition into the Jet Age as it is a biography of the man who got us there safely.  ungekürzt.

    Tesla: Inventor of the Modern , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
    Nikola Tesla, a Serbian immigrant, invented the radio, the induction motor, the neon lamp, and the remote control. His breakthrough came in alternating current, the basis of the electric grid and long-distance electrical transmission. This pitted him against Thomas Edison's direct current empire, and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla's technology was superior, and eventually, he prevailed. Unfortunately, he had no business sense and could not capitalize on this success. His most advanced ideas were unrecognized for decades: 40 years in the case of the radio patent; longer still for his ideas on laser beam technology. Tesla's personal life was magnificently bizarre. Strikingly handsome and impeccably dressed, he was germophobic and never shook hands. He required nine napkins when he sat down to dinner. In later years, he ate only white food and conversed with the pigeons in Bryant Park. This clear, authoritative, and highly enjoyable biography takes account of all phases of this remarkable life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Constant.

    Takedown: How an Undercover Cop Dismantled the Biggest Drug-Smuggling Ring in Maine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min
    In 1982, Vietnam veteran John Arnold was a detective sergeant in the small town of Sanford, Maine. Working with the DEA and other law enforcement agencies, Arnold went undercover as a crooked cop, receiving kickbacks for "looking the other way" as drug dealer Michael Sanborn flew huge shipments through the local airport. Eventually Arnold met the "big boss", Richard Lowell Stratton, a Texas ranch owner whose involvement in the drug trade stretched back more than a decade. A task force armed with federal search warrants captured 1,500 pounds of Stratton's marijuana and hashish - the largest such bust in the state of Maine at the time. A manhunt ensued and the case finally went to trial, where Stratton insisted he was just a writer researching a book on the drug trade. The aftermath of the case involved the mysterious death of a key witness - a murder that has never been solved. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Morey.

    A Revolution in Military Adaptation: The US Army in the Iraq War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    During the early years of the Iraq War, the US Army was unable to translate initial combat success into strategic and political victory. Iraq plunged into a complex insurgency, and defeating this insurgency required beating highly adaptive foes. A competition between the hierarchical and vertically integrated Army and networked and horizontally integrated insurgents ensued. The latter could quickly adapt and conduct networked operations in a decentralized fashion; the former was predisposed to fighting via prescriptive plans under a centralized command and control. To achieve success, the US Army went through a monumental process of organizational adaptation - a process driven by soldiers and leaders that spread throughout the institution and led to revolutionary changes in how the Army supported and conducted its operations in Iraq. How the Army adapted and the implications of this adaptation are the subject of this indispensable study. Intended for policymakers, defense and military professionals, military historians, and academics, this book offers a solid critique of the Army's current capacity to adapt to likely future adversary strategies and provides policy recommendations for retaining lessons learned in Iraq. ungekürzt.

Cirian and Rian had a fight in the library, and Rian ends up naked on the desk, on his back, at Cirian's mercy. Want to know how far things went with ice cream?

Traveling hundreds of miles, battling the rebels and then traveling back to House Gaeland will take it out of you. But when Tanis wants something, he takes it. Raven is about to be bent over a tree!

    Framed: Why Michael Skakel Spent over a Decade in Prison for a Murder He Didn't Commit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min
    In 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley's body was found in the backyard of her family's Connecticut home, and a member of America's beloved Kennedy family, then also 15, was accused of the crime. What ensued was a media firestorm and a whodunit that transfixed the nation, providing daily debates - and cruel, dinner table entertainment. Now, 40 years after Michael Skakel's conviction, his cousin, acclaimed activist and writer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has taken matters into his own hands to get the charges dropped and clear his cousin's name. This startling exposé - a riveting true story of murder, romance, and fame - is the story of Skakel's conviction that the public has never before been privy to. It is the product of hundreds of interviews with Skakel and those who knew him, Martha Moxley, and what may have happened the night of the crime, Halloween eve. It also explores why Kennedy believes Skakel has yet to receive a fair trial, and why he demands the original verdict be overturned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Berkrot.

    Adventures in Colonial America: Volume 3, Maryland: An Anomaly among the Colonies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
    This is the third installment of the 13-part series Adventures in Colonial America. This installment focuses on the Maryland colony, established and governed for more than a century by six men, the Calverts, who became the Lords Baltimore. Maryland was founded as a haven for English Catholics, persecuted by the Protestants in England and the English government as well. However, the intent of Maryland's founders was never fulfilled because of feuds between Catholics and Protestants and the eventually takeover of the colony by the British government, turning it from a proprietary colony to a royal colony under the control of the British government. Because religious persecution played such an important role in Maryland's colonial history, a historical survey of religious persecution - Christian vs. Jew and Christian vs. Christian - in England is also provided. This issue also focuses on the important role Maryland's colonists played as the colonies moved toward independence, and in the debates that ensued about the provisions of the U.S. Constitution after the American Revolution. ungekürzt.
