    Richer Homes Host More Kinds of Bugs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2min
    Here’s something new for real estate agents to boast about in posh neighborhoods: houses with a bigger variety of insects and spiders. Maybe that’s not the best selling point. But what’s called a “luxury effect” appeared among more than 10,000 arthropod samples collected from the insides of 50 houses in urban and suburban Raleigh, N.C. Depending on the house, arthropods from 24 to 128 distinct scientific families showed up, says entomologist Misha Leong of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Houses in neighborhoods with higher average incomes tended toward greater diversity than houses in lower-income spots."Richer Homes Host More Kinds of Bugs" is from the September 3, 2016 issue of Science News. ungekürzt.

    Half Gods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    Following the fractured origins and destinies of two brothers named after demigods from the ancient epic the Mahabharata, we meet a family struggling with the reverberations of the past in their lives. These ten interlinked stories redraw the map of our world in surprising ways: following an act of violence, a baby girl is renamed after a Hindu goddess but raised as a Muslim; a lonely butcher from Angola finds solace in a family of refugees in New Jersey; a gentle entomologist, in Sri Lanka, discovers unexpected reserves of courage while searching for his missing son.  By turns heartbreaking and fiercely inventive, Half Gods reveals with sharp clarity the ways that parents, children, and friends act as unknowing mirrors to each other, revealing in their all-too-human weaknesses, hopes, and sorrows a connection to the divine. ungekürzt.

    The Beetle Hunter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
    A curious experience? said the Doctor. Yes, my friends, I have had one very curious experience. I never expect to have another, for it is against all doctrines of chances that two such events would befall any one man in a single lifetime. You may believe me or not, but the thing happened exactly as I tell it. The opening lines of Arthur Conan Doyle's story "The Beetle Hunter" promise much and deliver as only Doyle can do. The narrator begins as he reads an ad in The Standard... "Wanted for one or more days the services of a medical man. It is essential that he should be a man of strong physique, of steady nerves, and of a resolute nature. Must be an entomologist—coleopterist preferred. Apply, in person, at 77B, Brook Street. Application must be made before twelve o'clock today." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ian Davies. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/onvo/000165/bk_onvo_000165_sample.mp3.

    Fresh Air, M. Lee Goff and Pagan Kennedy, Hörbuch, Digital, 33min
    Forensic entomologist M. Lee Goff and writer for the Village Voice and The Nation, Pagan Kennedy. Goff is the author of the new book A Fly for the Prosecution: How Insect Evidence Helps Solve Crimes. He examines the insect life that inhabits a decomposing corpse, to understand when a person died and other circumstances of death. Kennedy ("Pagan" is not her real first name) has staked out a niche for herself as a "1970's survivor and devotee." She has written an investigation of that decade, seen through its artifacts and social upheaval, Platforms: A Microwaved Cultural Chronicle of the 1970's. In the 70's she says, "we inherited this idea of recycling culture. I wanted to write a nostalgia book about the period when nostalgia began as an industry and everything became like an image of itself."
