    The Man in the Gray Flannel Skirt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
    The vibrant, funny, and heartwarming story of an outcast who becomes an odd man in. If you have ever felt like a misfit in school or been paralyzed by your family’s imposing expectations, if you have ever obsessed about your appearance or panicked about choosing a career path, if you have ever wondered if every single thing to which your body is exposed, from egg yolks to X-rays, might harm you, then you may be surprised to find a kindred spirit in The Man in the Gray Flannel Skirt.Growing up in sunny La Jolla, California, Jon-Jon Goulian was a hyperneurotic kid who felt out of place wherever he turned, and who, in his own words, was forever on the verge of “caving in beneath the pressures of modern life”. From his fear of competition to his fear of pimples, from his fear of sex to his fear of saturated fat, the range and depth of Jon-Jon’s phobias were seemingly boundless. With his two older brothers providing a sterling example he believed he could never live up to, and his stern grandfather, the political philosopher Sidney Hook, continually calling him to account for his intellectual failure, Jon-Jon, feeling pressed against the wall, wracked with despair, and dizzy with insecurity, instinctively resorted, for reasons that became clear to him only many years later, to a most ingenious scheme for keeping conventional expectations at bay: women’s clothing! Ingenious, perhaps, but woefully ineffective, as Jon-Jon discovers, again and again, that behind his skirt, leggings, halter top, and high heels, he’s still as wildly neurotic, and as wracked with anxiety, as he’s always been. ungekürzt.

    Fall of Eleazar: Nine Realms Saga : Withering, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
    Long before Jade was conceived, the Lich Lords meticulously constructed a prophecy that hails her as the key to laying claim to the promised land. Her whole life was orchestrated: every moment of training, every facet of her persona, and every moment of her time. And it worked. The Black Circle, and everyone involved, believes she is a prophet. A savior. A messiah. The problem is, she isn’t interested in the job. All she wants is to escape. Even with status, wealth, influence, and power, her reality conceals a darker truth: being blood cursed at birth. No power is worth that price. When their hold on her mind broke, they resorted to torture to ensure she fell in line. Now free of the Lich Lord’s sway over her, Jade is on the run. Alone, fending off her own desperation and loneliness, she must press forward at all costs. But the centuries of work leading up to her birth mean that those who want to keep her are not about to let the illusion unravel. In order to preserve her freedom, Jade will have to find her own way. That means creating new alliances, learning to trust others, and settle into her true destiny. The way isn’t easy, but she’s used to that. In her quest for independence, her list of enemies just keeps getting longer, and more dangerous. But she’s willing to do whatever it takes to build her own future in this tumultuous world. The Nine Realms SagaVigiles Urbani ChroniclesAccession of the Stone Born: Nine Realms SagaDust WalkersShades of Fire & AshWarden Global SeriesThe Wanderer AwakensSleipnir's Heart (short story)Rise of the Storm BringerLamia's Curse (short story)Children of the StormPlague BearerDawning: Nine Realms SagaWitheringFall of Eleazar: Nine Realms Saga/l ungekürzt.

    World War II Leningrad: A History from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    History describes the 872-day Siege of Leningrad as the most devastating siege in history. The German army had made its way to Leningrad before the city had the opportunity to prepare for an assault, and the consequences were lethal. Accompanied by one of the worst famines in history, as well as a brutally cold winter in 1941-1942, the civilians were doomed. Of the three million people living in Leningrad at the start of the siege, more than a million would be evacuated and approximately another million would die before the assault ended in 1944. Inside you will hear about.... "St. Petersburg: The City of Three Revolutions" "The Fate of Leningrad Under Stalin" "Encircling Leningrad" "Inside Leningrad" "The Road of Life" "The Leningrad Affair" And much more! During those 872 days, Leningrad was rendered numb as people fell dead in the streets and were not placed in coffins because no one had the strength to bury them. People ate their pets and boiled leather for food; they committed murder to obtain ration cards for the meager provisions that the city could provide; some resorted to cannibalism. Kept alive by their fervent patriotism and an astonishing will to survive, the citizens of Leningrad greeted the end of the siege with jubilation. Although they outlasted the Nazis, they could not defeat Josef Stalin as the paranoid leader punished Leningrad and its prominent Party members and stilled the voices of the heroes who lived. But Leningrad did not remain silenced, and the truth finally emerged. It’s a harrowing saga of bravery and brutality, but one that must be told. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Degrees of Desperation: The Working Class Struggle to Pay for College , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 151min
    There's a college affordability crisis happening in the US right now. Tuition rates have soared, while increases in blue collar wages have slowed to a crawl. This adds up to a painful realization for lower-income young people desperately hoping to go to college: there's no way to pay for it. Bobbi Dempsey shares her brutally honest first-person account of the struggle to pay for her children's and her own education on a working-class salary. Growing up in poverty, Dempsey was determined to provide her children with an education to help them escape the family cycle. While trying to get their three children through school, she and her husband each worked several jobs (which often involved dirty and sometimes even dangerous conditions) and went into a panic every time another tuition bill arrived. Growing increasingly desperate, they made some decisions that put their financial future in jeopardy and even resorted to strategies such as collecting aluminum cans to pay for textbooks. Mixing memoir with bits of valuable advice, Bobbi Dempsey takes you inside the emotional and stressful reality for a blue-collar family facing the struggle of paying for college. Bobbi Dempsey is a writer specializing in money (or the lack thereof), but she greatly enjoys talking to people from all walks of life and sharing their stories. Her work has appeared in The NY Times, Family Circle, and other major publications. She also created a website called BrokeParents.com to share news, advice, and tips of interest to working-class families struggling with tight budgets. She copes with the stresses of life by indulging in her two not-so-secret vices: bad reality TV and awesomely bad 80s pop culture. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tamara Marston.

    These Shallow Graves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 812min
    From Jennifer Donnelly, the critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling author of A Northern Light and Revolution, comes a mystery about dark secrets, dirty truths, and the lengths to which people will go for love and revenge. For fans of Elizabeth George and Libba Bray, These Shallow Graves is the story of how much a young woman is willing to risk and lose in order to find the truth. Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon - like all the girls in her class - she'll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo dreams of becoming a writer - a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly. Wild aspirations aside, Jo's life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: Her father is found dead. Charles Montfort shot himself while cleaning his pistol. One of New York City's wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper and was a partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far too smart to clean a loaded gun. The more Jo hears about her father's death, the more something feels wrong. Suicide is the only logical explanation, and of course people have started talking, but Jo's father would never have resorted to that. And then she meets Eddie - a young, smart, infuriatingly handsome reporter at her father's newspaper - and it becomes all too clear how much she stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. But now it might be too late to stop. The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort could ever have imagined, and this time the truth is the dirtiest part of all. ungekürzt.

    The San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 & the 1989 Bay Area Earthquake: The History of California's Two Deadliest Earthquakes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
    On April 18, 1906, most of the residents of the city of San Francisco were sound asleep when the ground started to shake around 5:15 a.m., but what started as fairly soft tremors turned into violent shaking in all directions. The roar of the earthquake unquestionably woke up residents, at least those fortunate enough not to be immediately swallowed by the cracks opening up in the ground. The earthquake lasted about a minute, but it had enough destructive force to divert the course of entire rivers and level much of what was, at the time, the ninth largest city in America. Unfortunately for San Franciscans, the worst was yet to come. During the earthquake the city's gas mains and water mains were ruptured, which had the effects of starting a number of fires and preventing the residents from being equipped to fight them. Without water to truly fight the blaze, the city's officials actually resorted to demolishing buildings in hopes of containing the fires, and witnesses reported seeing San Franciscans trapped in the burning buildings being shot by authorities instead of letting them burn alive. The fires lasted three days, and by the time they were done, 80 percent of the city was in ruins, about 60 percent of the residents were homeless, and an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 were dead. In fact the fires were so devastating that contemporary San Franciscans called the disaster "The Fire". Although the resulting fires may have done the most damage, the widespread destruction made clear to city leaders that new buildings would need better safety codes and protection against subsequent earthquakes. The city reinforced new buildings against earthquakes and fixed surviving buildings to better deal with future earthquakes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kat Marlowe.

    Easy Meat: Inside Britain's Grooming Gang Scandal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    Peter McLoughlin spent years believing the Leftist narrative, namely it was "a racist myth" that organised Muslim groups in Britain and the Netherlands (grooming gangs ) were luring white schoolgirls into a life of prostitution. But in 2009 he first encountered people who said their children had been groomed like this. These informants had non-white people in their immediate and extended family and were thus unlikely to be racists. So McLoughlin dug deeper, and what he found shocked him: There was mounds of evidence that social workers, police officers, Muslim organizations, journalists, and even some members of Parliament must have known about these grooming gangs for decades, and they had turned a blind eye to these crimes. He also came across references to incidents where any proof had since vanished. McLoughlin spent several years uncovering everything he could and documenting this scandal before the evidence disappeared. He demonstrates that the true nature of this grooming phenomenon was known about more than 20 years ago.While he was writing this book, Parliament was forced by rising anger in Britain to conduct its own low-key investigation. The eventual report concluded the grooming problem was basically in one town: Rotherham. Official reports finally admitted there were more than 1,400 victims in this otherwise unremarkable town. McLoughlin argues the authorities will continue their cover-up of this scandal, with many thousands of new victims across the country every year. The criminal indicators in Rotherham are to be found in scores of towns across Britain. McLoughlin's book is an attempt to get the public to wake up, for them to demand civilised solutions, because if the social contract breaks down, people may turn to vigilante justice as the prostituting of schoolgirls continues unabated. The book documents the hidden abuse of Sikh victims by grooming gangs and how Sikhs in Britain have already resorted to vigilante justice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander Sangmoore.

    A Red Boyhood: Growing Up Under Stalin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    Many children growing up in the Soviet Union before World War II knew the meaning of deprivation and dread. But for the son of an "enemy of the people", those apprehensions were especially compounded. When the secret police came for his father in 1938, 10-year-old Anatole Konstantin saw his family plunged into a morass of fear. His memoir of growing up in Stalinist Russia re-creates in vivid detail the daily trials of people trapped in this regime before and during the repressive years of World War II - and the equally horrific struggles of refugees after that conflict. Evicted from their home, their property confiscated, and eventually forced to leave their town, Anatole's family experienced the fate of millions of Soviet citizens whose loved ones fell victim to Stalin's purges. His mother, Raya, resorted to digging peat, stacking bricks, and even bootlegging to support herself and her two children. How she managed to hold her family together in a rapidly deteriorating society - and how young Anatole survived the horrors of marginalization and war - form a story more compelling than any novel. Looking back on those years from adulthood, Konstantin reflects on both his formal education under harsh conditions and his growing awareness of the contradictions between propaganda and reality. He tells of life in the small Ukrainian town of Khmelnik just before World War II and of how some of its citizens collaborated with the German occupation, lending new insight into the fate of Ukrainian Jews and Nazi corruption of local officials. And in recounting his experiences as a refugee, he offers a new look at everyday life in early postwar Poland and Germany, as well as one of the few firsthand accounts of life in postwar Displaced Persons camps. A Red Boyhood takes listeners inside Stalinist Russia to experience the grim realities of repression - both under a Soviet regime and German occupation. A moving story of desperate people ungekürzt.
