    Ruin and Rising
    The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne. Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army. Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives. Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction--and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she's fighting for. Ruin and Rising is the thrilling final installment in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy.

    Kerfuffle (eBook, ePUB)
    A funny book about the Toronto 2010 G20 protests that includes a talking cat? A novel that finds humour in sword stealing, unplanned pregnancy, and surviving loss? An OwnVoices novel where disabled improvisors share the stage with abled comrades? Kerfuffle is all this and more. Jumping on and off stage, the diverse, five-member improv troupe called Kerfuffle make sense and nonsense of their complex lives and the 2010 Toronto G20 protests. Uncertain which player is her baby daddy, nine-months-pregnant Nellie Wolfe wields her crutch as both prop and weapon to hunt him down. She bands with feminist friends to teach the troupe's male members about the responsible use of their members. From hidden weapons to Jesus Toast, simmering personal and political secrets build to an explosive on-stage reveal. It's an inside-Anarchy exposé of G20's crucible moments from black balaclavas to a burning police car to being kettled, incarcerated, and freed to continue the struggle. Satire at its best, it offers both belly laughs and a demand for justice.

    The Greatest Show on Earth
    Richard Dawkins revolutionized our view of God in his blockbuster, The God Delusion , which sold more than 1 million copies in English alone. He revolutionized the way we see natural selection in the seminal bestseller The Selfish Gene . Now, he launches a fierce counterattack against proponents of "Intelligent Design" in his New York Times bestseller, The Greatest Show on Earth ."Intelligent Design" is being taught in our schools; educators are being asked to "teach the controversy" behind evolutionary theory. Creationists object that the world is too elegant, too complex to have developed without an intelligent designer and that there is no evidence for Darwin's theory. Here Dawkins wields a devastating argument against such ignorance, sifting through rich layers of evidence to explain evolution. Though he exposes the absurdities of the Creationist argument along the way, his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.

    The Woman That Men Want , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    Women are often afraid to be women, to appear feminine or vulnerable because they equate it with being weak. However, quite the opposite is true because a woman who is in tune with herself and shows her vulnerability wields much more power over a man than if she were to constantly act tough. We will be exploring many of the differences between men and women in this book and how those differences give women more strength than any rules society may seek to impose upon them. And once you allow your inner woman to shine through, then you will become the girl that all men adore and can't live without. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roxanne Weber.
