    The Rocks Don't Lie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min
    How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood. In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating theworld’s flood stories and - drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists - discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s foundingprinciples based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, andh ow it changed through history and continues changing, even today. ungekürzt.

    Brief as Lightning: Avery Nolan Adventure Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
    Avery Nolan promised six-year-old Bay one thing - she’d bring his father home to him. That, however, was harder to accomplish than she’d thought. When Bay is abducted by his grandfather and taken to the Greensward, Avery now has two people depending on her, but she’s unable to find a way into the illusive land and no one seems able to help.  Until a visit to her mother provides her with a cryptic message, “Find the rainbow people.” Avery has no idea what this means, but ICE agent Graham Braddock does and he thinks he may have found a portal into the Greensward.  Except nothing is ever that easy.  Taeseus, the Lord of the Frostfell, is not a man to take lightly. And then there’s Avery’s father. As Taeseus warns, “I am a tame house-cat compared to your father. You’d do well to understand that when you threaten to unleash a dragon such as he.”  At this point, Avery doesn’t care. She’s about to unleash the dragon. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Music of Us: Still Life with Memories, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min
    In 1970, Lenny can no longer deny that his wife is undergoing a profound change. Despite her relatively young age, her mind succumbs to forgetfulness. Now, he goes as far back as the moment he met Natasha, when he was a soldier and she a star, brilliant yet illusive. Natasha was a riddle to him then, and to this day, with all the changes she has gone through, she still is. Digging into the past, mining its moments, trying to piece them together this way and that, dusting off each memory of Natasha, of how we were, the highs and lows of the music of us, to find out where the problem may have started? To their son, Ben, that may seem like an exercise in futility. For Lenny, it is a necessary process of discovery, one that is as tormenting as it is delightful. He often wonders: can we ever understand, truly understand each other - soldier and musician, man and woman, one heart and another? Will we ever again dance together to the same beat? Is there a point where we may still touch? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Warrick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/050910/bk_acx0_050910_sample.mp3.

    Sad Summer in Biarritz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min
    The narrator, a Canadian woman, hopes to change her life by moving to Biarritz. Having escaped a devastating relationship with the mentally unstable Dominique, she is determined to make new friends and find the perfect mate. But in this summer resort frequented by couples and families, available singles are lonely people, too often embittered by romantic failure. And if the young artist, Vinnie, has promised entry into local society, he remains an illusive figure. When Vinnie's body surfaces at the Pointe des Fous, new rumors circulate. Had he really been a fortune hunter, a seducer, and blackmailer, or just a gentle, over-sensitive man, a loser in love and friendship? The police have concluded his death was accidental, but doesn't everything point to murder? Or is the narrator over-reacting? Perhaps loneliness and isolation have made her suspicious, for love is as unattainable as ever, and threatening letters from Dominique are arriving with increasing frequency. Sad Summer in Biarritz is a mystery, a story of the desperately lonely search for love, and a satirical portrait of French nouveau riche society in the 1980s. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Black to the Grindstone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 446min
    Longlisted for the 2007 Victoria Butler Book Prize Arthur Black - best-selling author, three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, beloved radio personality, and newspaper columnist - proves in his latest sidesplitting collection of tales, Black to the Grindstone, that, without a doubt, you not only get better but funnier with age. Demonstrating once again why he is one of Canada's most loved jokesters, Black masterfully captures the laughter that often bursts out of the seams of everyday life. From an unexpected drag race to a Google search for a picture of the illusive "Arthur the Meek", you just never know when a regular day is going to turn into comedic genius. Black provides uproarious insight into uses a matador might have for a teacup, mango, or simply some paper towel, the lengths one might go to defend the aural mishearing we've believed in for far too long, and the bitter deception felt upon discovering that the hootenanny's bathroom really isn't "on the right" after all. But be warned - adding these stories to your day-to-day listening may also double as a daily abdominal workout. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Larkin.

    Mаnірulаtіоn Tесhnіԛuеѕ: Dаrk Psychology Influencing Pеорlе wіth Persuasion, NLP and Mind Cоntrоl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    Manipulation is a massive concept that is apparent in almost every area of our social life. It is a puzzling motivating action aimed at interfering with another person's decision-making process, usually without his consent. These interference is achieved implicitly through the use of morally questionable techniques such as coercion, diversion, and misdirection. The trickery factor synonymous with deceit causes the practice to occur in almost infinite variations and in many different ways, ranging from a powerful weapon in the pursuit of indecent advertising to altruistic psychotherapy and even education steps. Nonetheless, social scientists have found out that without utilizing a certain degree of coercion, a successful improvement in human decision-making and actions cannot be accomplished. Manipulation is not exactly bribery, not manipulation, and not just deception-like. The enigmatic trend is located between these motivational behavior somewhere in the gray area, and this gray position poses critical difficulties in characterizing coercion and calculating its effect. The expert manipulator adopts tactics in a fashion that obscures his acts' moral and legal judgement. His sophisticated and illusive influencing methods challenge the wisdom of the open society's leading proponents. The problem exists in almost every aspect that can be considered, from politics to ads, employment, and even the most intimate relationships. ungekürzt.
