    Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 467min
    This book is geared to the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues. Many of today's economic issues are obscured by their inherent complexity and the often confusing and conflicting views coming from political talking heads. Sowell, a leading conservative economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, seeks to alleviate this confusion. He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long-term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real-world problems - housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations. ungekürzt.

    White Noise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    Jack Gladney is the creator and chairman of Hitler studies at the College-on-the-Hill. This is the story of his absurd life - a life that is going well enough until a chemical spill from a rail car releases an Airborne Toxic Event, and Jack is forced to confront his biggest fear: his own mortality. White Noise is an effortless combination of social satire and metaphysical dilemma in which Don DeLillo exposes our rampant consumerism, media saturation and novelty intellectualism. It captures the particular strangeness of life lived when the fear of death cannot be denied, repressed or obscured and ponders the role of the family in a time when the very meaning of our existence is under threat. ungekürzt.

In Smoke and Mirrors, Gaiman's imagination and supreme artistry transform a mundane world into a place of terrible wonders - where an old woman can purchase the Holy Grail at a thrift store, where assassins advertise their services in the Yellow Pages under "Pest Control," and where a frightened young boy must barter for his life with a mean-spirited troll living beneath a bridge by the railroad tracks. Explore a new reality, obscured by smoke and darkness yet brilliantly tangible, in this extraordinary collection of short works by a master prestidigitator.

    Mirror to Damascus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 555min
    Described by the author as simply 'a work of love', Mirror to Damascus provides an enthralling and fascinating history of Damascus from the Amorites of the Bible to the revolution of 1966, as well as being a charming and witty personal record of a city well-loved. In explaining how modern Damascus is rooted in immemorial layers of culture and tradition, Colin Thubron explores the historical, artistic, social and religious inheritance of the Damascenes in an amusing and perceptive manner, whilst interspersing the narrative with innumerable anecdotes about travellers of bygone days. Mirror to Damascus is a unique portrait of a city now obscured by recent upheavals, by one of the most indefatigable and popular of travel writers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    30 Days (Lost Love Trilogy, #2) (eBook, ePUB)
    "Life is not always as it seems, Abigail. It can be masked in many disguises." Memories are defined as the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. What would you do if you learned your memories were incorrect? That they'd been obscured to hide a bitter truth? Is that even possible? Abigail McMillian now knows it is, after a life she chose to forget-a life she chose to change-comes flooding back. Suffering from retrograde amnesia triggered by a fall, Abigail must try to piece together her real memories from the ones she's fictionally created. Face to face with Marcus again, the love of her life and the man she's forgotten for seven years, Abigail's left with one decision: remember the pain she chose to erase, or remain forever blissful in a fictitious world of her own creation. Unless all is not what it seems.

    Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 712min
    Mussar is an illuminating, approachable, and highly practical set of teachings for cultivating personal growth and spiritual realization in the midst of day-to-day life. Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to this Jewish spiritual path, which until lately has been best known in the world of Orthodox Judaism. The core teaching of Mussar is that our deepest essence is inherently pure and holy, but this inner radiance is obscured by extremes of emotion, desire, and bad habits. Our work in life is to uncover the brilliant light of the soul. The Mussar masters developed transformative teachings and practices - some of which are contemplative, some of which focus on how we relate to others in daily life - to help us to heal and refine ourselves. ungekürzt.

For this is a period of human history that has been lost through time, whose return is vitally needed. For you know the heroes of the other tribes. But of this small, sacred tribe, whose history has been obscured, you remember nothing. So tells acclaimed author Andrew Ramer in Two Flutes Playing. Within these pages can be found insight and wisdom. Ramer serves as a mythologist for gay men, providing evidence to the harmony of gender, love, and sex. A new introduction by the author reveals why this audiobook's timeless message has once more returned to print as the inaugural title in the White Crane Spirituality series. ungekürzt.

    Daoism Explained: From the Dream of the Butterfly to the Fishnet Allegory: Ideas Explained, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
    Hans-Georg Moeller has achieved the perfect blend with Daoism Explained. It is both a fascinating introduction on Daoist thought as well as an original and insightful contribution to Eastern philosophy. This book will take the place of The Tao of Pooh by Hoff. Like that book, Doaism Explained offers a comprehensive presentation of Daoist philosophy that is interesting and easy to follow.The study sheds new light on many Doaist allegories by showing how modern translations often concealed the wit and humor of the Chinese original or imposed alien philosophical frameworks on them. It attempts to take away the metaphysical and Christian disguises with which Daoist philosophy has been obscured by Western interpretations in the past 100 years.The book is published by Open Court. The audiobook will be published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Barber.

    Remembering You: A Second Chance Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    “Careful there, Robbie.” My sweater obscured part of my sight, and my fogged-up glasses managed to take care of the rest of it, but I’d recognize that voice anywhere, even after eight long years. It was deeper now, a bit more gravelly, but it most definitely belonged to the guy I’d spent most of my early teenage years pining after. My first - and unrequited - love.“Troy?” I exclaimed, blinking my confusion as he helped pull my sweater the rest of the way off. Troy Jacobs' gorgeous lips twitched in amusement. “You remember me. Didn’t know if you would."“Oh, I remember you,” I mumbled. Hard to forget your first kiss - or the first guy you ever loved.A 9,600 word short story about first love, second chances, and family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kenneth Obi.
