    The Invisible Woman: Taking on the Vintage Years , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min
    Sixty is the new 40, we're constantly told. Or is it that 70 is the new 50? Either way, there's nothing middle of the road about middle age. From coping with bodies that are 'heading south' to rampant ageism in the workplace, this time in our lives, in the words of Bette Davis, is 'no place for sissies'. From the irrepressible voice behind the much-loved Guardian column 'The Vintage Years' comes a clarion call for any woman who neither wants to be told constantly to look younger nor is ready to join the 'cardigan and slippers brigade'. From family, finances and work to cosmetics, fashion and sex, 59-year-old journalist Helen Walmsley-Johnson shows how we can reinvent middle age for the next generation of women. Full of wit and vitality, The Invisible Woman is a new sort of book about ageing: one that teaches us not how to avoid it but how to enjoy it, grow with it, and thrive. Invisibility is not an option! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maggie Ollerenshaw. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/026048/bk_adbl_026048_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Margaret's Gift of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
    Michael Simpson loves "old school" R&B and Mozart. Margaret Hamilton loves Johann Sebastian Bach, Billy Holiday, and Kenneth Brian "Baby face" Edmonds, but more than anything, they both love each other, and they are a perfect couple. When they became friends in high school, Margaret’s nurturing and positive attitude helped Michael face his emotional demon and to realize that there must have been a reason why he was allowed to live through the horrible car accident that took his sister's life. But Margaret’s carefree teenage life comes crashing down on her when she’s diagnosed as having kidney failure. Her only option is to be put on dialysis three days a week. Margaret is so depressed and torn over living her life connected to a machine that she’s not certain she wants to go on living. Her only hope for a normal life is to receive a kidney transplant, but she’s an only child, and because of her parents medical conditions they are unsuitable donors. Michael is determined to donate one of his kidneys to her, but his parents are against the transplant because they are terrified of losing their only living child on the operating table. Will the love Michael has for Margaret give him the strength and courage he needs to go against his parents and do what is necessary to save Margaret’s life? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    On Prayer and the Contemplative Life: Linked to the Bible and Illustrated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    From the preface:St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), one of the greatest philosophical minds of the church, has left us no formal treatise on mystical theology. Instead, his teachings on this subject have been collected from his various works. No such synthesis has been attempted in this book. Rather the editor has simply taken from the Summa Theologica the treatises on religion, on devotion, prayer, and the contemplative life, and presented them in an English dress. When occasion offered, he has added to each portion appropriate passages from St. Augustine, St. Thomas' master, and more rarely from the Commentary on the Summa by the illustrious Cardinal Cajetan.This has been done for several reasons. The mystical life is the life of union with God, and it is based essentially on prayer and contemplation. But prayer and contemplation, though simple in themselves, are yet fraught with difficulties and dangers unless we be wisely guided. And as Father Faber wisely says: When we ask for instruction in these things, let us, by all means, make an appeal to those whose names begin with St. - let us, in other words, go to God's saints. And the reason is simple: These Saints are no mere idle signposts who point the way but stand still themselves; they themselves have been where they would have us go; they speak from no mere theoretical knowledge; they themselves have tasted and seen that the Lord is sweet! ungekürzt.

    The Haunting of Eden House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    “Jennifer, what’s the matter? Open the door, Jennifer!”I was shouting. She tried to crawl out of bed, but before she could get herself together, the entire bed had begun to rise with her on it. Then with a thunderous crash, it shattered on the floor. Her hand fell against something coarse and wet. It felt like hair! No, a face! She grasped the object and brought it up to her eyes, and she froze in terror!Her body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she held Henry Kagan’s decapitated head by its blood-soaked hair, his gruesome face with the nose bone collapsed and the cheekbones caved in. His mouth was open, the lower lip stretched below his lower teeth, so the gum showed. He seemed to be laughing at her, a spine-chilling laughter, as his bulging eyes and rotted flesh began to decompose and turn to maggots in her hand.Jennifer dropped the skull and cried out in terror, feeling as though she were in a nightmare where her legs had become lead and would not allow her to run from this tomb of death. Her heart was pounding as she scrambled out of the wreckage and stumbled to her feet. Suddenly, William Hurdle’s diary flew pass her head and smashed loudly against the door. Grasping the latch, Jennifer flung the door open, and the turmoil subsided. Sally and I hurried in then stopped in wonder, as Jennifer threw herself into my arms. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Can It Happen Here?: Authoritarianism in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 725min
    With the election of Donald J. Trump, many people on both the left and right feared that America's 240-year-old grand experiment in democracy was coming to an end, and that Sinclair Lewis' satirical novel, It Can't Happen Here, written during the dark days of the 1930s, could finally be coming true. Is the democratic freedom that the United States symbolizes really secure? Can authoritarianism happen in America?  Acclaimed legal scholar, Harvard Professor, and New York Times best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein queried a number of the nation's leading thinkers. In this thought-provoking collection of essays, these distinguished thinkers and theorists explore the lessons of history, how democracies crumble, how propaganda works, and the role of the media, courts, elections, and "fake news" in the modern political landscape - and what the future of the United States may hold.  Contributors include:  Martha Minow, dean of Harvard Law School  Eric Posner, law professor at the University of Chicago Law School  Tyler Cowen, economics professor at George Mason University  Timur Kuran, economics and political science professor at Duke University  Noah Feldman, professor of law at Harvard Law School  Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business  Jack Goldsmith, Professor at Harvard Law School, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and co-founder of Lawfare  Stephen Holmes, Professor of Law at New York University  Jon Elster, Professor of the Social Sciences at Columbia University  Thomas Ginsburg, Professor of International Law and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences  Cass R.

    Hot Motion
    Die elf Songs des Albums sind brillant ausgearbeitet und miteinander verwoben. "Hot Motion" kann ohne jeden Zweifel als bisher eigenständigstes und progressivstes Album bezeichnet werden. Das Trio lässt hier einen prachtvollen musikalischen Farbfilm entstehen, unterlegt mit einem David Lynch-artigen Unterton, dessen Schwere die davon zu schweben drohenden Momente wieder einfängt. Gleichzeitig ist das Album laut Aussage der Band dazu gemacht, direkt beim ersten Durchgang beim Hörer zu zünden."Hot Motion" wurde im Haus von Sänger und Gitarrist James Bagshaw im englischen Northamptonshire aufgenommen. Während das Trio - komplettiert durch Bassisten Tom Walmsley und Gitarristen Adam Smith - immer noch stolz auf das elektronisch-orchestrierte 2017er Album "Volcano" ist, fühlt sich "Hot Motion" wie eine Rückkehr zu Geist und Begeisterung des Debütalbums "Sun Structures" aus dem Jahr 2014 an.
