    Aphantasia: Experiences, Perceptions, and Insights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
    Close your eyes and picture a sunrise.For the majority of people, the ability to visualize images - such as a sunrise - seems straightforward and can be accomplished "on demand". But, for potentially some two percent of the population, conjuring up an image in one’s mind’s eye is not possible; attempts to visualize images just bring up darkness.Although identified back in the 19th century, aphantasia remained under the radar for more than a century, and it was not until recently that it has been rediscovered and reexamined. It has become clear that aphantasia is a fascinating and often idiosyncratic condition and typically more complex than the simple absence of an ability to visualize. People with the condition - aphants - commonly report effects upon their abilities to recreate sounds, smells, and touches as well; many also struggle with facial recognition. Paradoxically, many aphants report that when they sleep, their dreams incorporate color images, sound, and the other senses.Put together by lead author Alan Kendle - who discovered his aphantasia in 2016 - this title is a collection of insights from contributors across the world detailing their lives with the condition. It offers rich, diverse, and often amusing insights and experiences into aphantasia's effects. For anyone who wishes to understand this most intriguing condition better, the audiobook provides a wonderful and succinct starting point.Foreword by Professor Adam Zeman, professor of cognitive and behavioral neurology, University of Exeter. ungekürzt.

    The Frontiers of Knowledge
    'Grayling brings satisfying order to daunting subjects' Steven Pinker_________________________In very recent times humanity has learnt a vast amount about the universe, the past, and itself. But through our remarkable successes in acquiring knowledge we have learned how much we have yet to learn: the science we have, for example, addresses just 5 per cent of the universe; pre-history is still being revealed, with thousands of historical sites yet to be explored; and the new neurosciences of mind and brain are just beginning. What do we know, and how do we know it? What do we now know that we don't know? And what have we learnt about the obstacles to knowing more? In a time of deepening battles over what knowledge and truth mean, these questions matter more than ever. Bestselling polymath and philosopher A. C. Grayling seeks to answer them in three crucial areas at the frontiers of knowledge: science, history and psychology. A remarkable history of science, life on earth, and the human mind itself, this is a compelling and fascinating tour de force, written with verve, clarity and remarkable breadth of knowledge._________________________'Remarkable, readable and authoritative. How he has mastered so much, so thoroughly, is nothing short of amazing' Lawrence M. Krauss, author of A Universe from Nothing'This book hums with the excitement of the great human project of discovery' Adam Zeman, author of Aphantasia

    The Rich and the Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 745min
    The rich are very different from you and me. Blessed by great wealth, they can get what they want, even what they shouldn’t have. Cursed by great wealth, they become the targets of others who will risk everything to become affluent. In The Rich and the Dead, bestselling author Nelson DeMille introduces twenty original tales by today’s most elite mystery writers who explore the life (and death) styles of the rich and infamous. In Ted Bell’s “The Pirate of Palm Beach,” an arrogant society columnist feels the unsociable - and deadly - backlash from his poison pen. In Lee Child’s “Addicted to Sweetness,” a swaggering drug lord plots a nasty payback against a thieving underling. In David Morrell’s “The Controller,” a seasoned protection specialist may need to be protected from the mercurial finance titan who purchases his services... and tests his loyalties. From multinational boardrooms to palatial mansions to exotic playlands, these suspenseful, gold-standard tales reveal in scary, funny, and riveting ways just how much trouble money can buy. Featuring stories by Nelson DeMille, Ted Bell, Peter Blauner, Karen Catalona, Tim Chapman, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Frank Cook, David DeLee, Joseph Goodrich, Daniel J. Hale, Roberta Isleib, Harley Jane Kozak, David Morrell, Carolyn Mullen, Twist Phelan, S. J. Rozan, Jonathan Santlofer, Elaine Togneri, and Angela Zeman.

    Spindles: Short Stories from the Science of Sleep (Science-into-Fiction) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    The relationship between sleep and storytelling is an ancient one. For centuries sleep has provided writers with a magical ingredient, a passage of time during which great changes miraculously occur, an Orpheus-like voyage through the subconscious daubed with the fantastic. But over the last 10 years, our scientific understanding of sleep has been revolutionised. No longer is sleep viewed as a time of simple rest and recuperation. Instead it is proving to be an intensely dynamic period of brain activity: a vital stage in the rewiring of memories, the learning of new skills, and the processing of problems and emotions. How will storytelling respond to this new and emerging science of sleep? Here, 14 authors have been invited to work with key scientists to explore various aspects of sleep research: from the possibilities of sleep engineering and overnight therapies to future-tech ways of harnessing sleep's problem-solving powers to the challenges posed by our increasingly 24-hour lifestyles. Just as new hypotheses are being put forward, old hunches are also being confirmed (there's now a scientific basis for the time-worn advice to sleep on a problem). As these responses show, sleep and the spinning of stories are still very much entwined. Also featuring stories by Lisa Blower, Annie Clarkson, Claire Dean, Zoe Gilbert, Andy Hedgecock, Sarah Schofield, Ian Watson, Lisa Tuttle, Adam Roberts, and Adam Marek, and scientific contributions from sleep scientists Prof Russell G. Foster, Dr. Isabel Hutchison, Dr. Simon Kyle, Dr. Penny Lewis, Dr. Paul Reading, Stephanie Romiszewski, Prof Robert Stickgold, Prof Manuel Schabus, Prof Ed Watkins, Prof Adam Zeman and Dr. Thomas Wehr.

    KLASSIKER des tschechischen und slowakischen FilmsIn die Geschichte des europäischen Films schrieb sich der tschechoslowakische Film zweifellos mit der Nová Vlna ein, mit jener Neuen Welle der 1960er Jahre, die bis heute eng mit Namen wie Milos Forman, Jirí Menzel oder Verá Chytilová verbunden ist.

    Krabat
    Als Lehrling kommt der Waisenjunge Krabat in die Mühle am Schwarzen Wasser. Zwölf Müllersburschen erlernen dort von ihrem Meister nicht nur das Müllerhandwerk, sondern auch die Schwarze Magie. Und so wird Krabat vom Bettelknaben zum Zauberlehrling. Doch das ist nicht das einzige Geheimnis, das die Mühle und ihren Meister umgibt: Alljährlich in der Neujahrsnacht muss einer der Jungen sterben - an Stelle des Meisters, dem dadurch ein weiteres Lebensjahr geschenkt wird. Als es seinen Freund und Beschützer Tonda trifft, nimmt Krabat den langen Kampf mit den finsteren Mächten auf. Der Film wurde 1977 von Krátký-Film und Studio Gottwaldov unter der Regie von Karel Zeman, der auch das Drehbuch schrieb, produziert. Die Musik komponierte Frantíek Belfin. An der Produktion waren Südfunk Stuttgart, Bavaria Film GmbH und eskoslovenský Filmexport beteiligt.
