Mad Swine: The Beginning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
People refer to the infected as "zombies" although that's not what they really are. The word zombie implies the infected have died and reanimated. The thing is, those infected with Mad Swine, they didn't die. They're still alive; they even breathe. They're just not human anymore. No one really knows how or why it started. What we do know is that the H1N1 virus - or the damn vaccinations that everyone so anxiously lined up for hours to get - mutated in a bad way. Now whether this mutation happened naturally, like the seasonal influenza does every year by changing its signature protein, or if it was the work of some mad dictator bent on bringing hell into the world by unleashing the bastardized disease, no one can say for sure. For Matt Danzig and the small community of Randall Oaks, the only thing that matters now is survival in this new world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernard Clark.

Survivor: A Memoir, 30th Anniversary Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min
Beyond Mommie Dearest - the inspiring and shattering sequel to the groundbreaking number one New York Times best seller.At publication, the world as I knew it blew up in my face.Christina Crawford’s Mommie Dearest cast a spotlight on the unspoken horrors of family violence and exorcised the demons of her childhood. But in the years following the controversial best seller’s publication, the author’s resilience was tested in ways she never expected.Crawford was forced to brave a stunning backlash intended to shame her, a film adaptation that bastardized her story and compounded the trauma, a descent into alcoholism, a divorce that ruined her financially, and a massive stroke that left her paralyzed. Staying true to her fighting spirit, she made a remarkable comeback.More than a personal memoir of triumph over tragedy, Survivor - now with a new preface for its 30th anniversary - is an enlightening spiritual road map to recovery for anyone who has suffered the ordeals of physical and emotional abuse, devastating illness, or seemingly insurmountable despair. Crawford’s story is not just about the will to survive; it is about the unparalleled joy of coming out on the other side, finding calm, and celebrating a fulfilling life. ungekürzt.

Scandalous Witness: A Little Political Manifesto for Christians , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min
Fifteen propositions for changing Christianity in AmericaChristian identity is in moral and political crisis. Lee Camp writes “that one major reason Christianity in America has been made into a bad public joke is our failure to rightly understand what Christianity is.” Scandalous Witness provides a way forward. Although refusing to reduce Christianity to any partisan agenda, he reminds us that the gospel is inherently political and that we are called to be political witnesses. Camp’s provocative diagnosis is that “American hope” is a bastardized form of Christian hope. The United States is not the hope of the world nor is it a Christian nation. Rather, “American Christian values” corrupts Christianity, and partisanship mocks the true scandal of the gospel. Camp reminds us that all empires fall. By conceiving Christianity as a politic instead of a religion, we may begin to take seriously the true scandal of the gospel. We may envision new possibilities by which our gospel practices make a new world possible. Offering a robust vision of a Christian politic that exposes modern parodies of faith, Camp mixes wit, charm, and logic, challenging Christians to rethink who they are and how they participate in the modern world. ungekürzt.

Elizabeth, Hörbuch, Digital, 185min
An abused child, yet confident of her destiny to reign, a woman in a man's world, passionately sexual yet, she said, a virgin, Elizabeth I was to be famed as England's most successful ruler. This absorbing new book, by concentrating on the early years from her birth in 1533 to her accession in 1558, shows how her experiences of danger and adventure formed her remarkable character and shaped her opinions and beliefs. For in her youth she had experienced every vicissitude of fortune and every extreme of condition. She had been Princess and inheritrix of England, then bastardized and disinherited. At 16 she was the head of a great princely household. Not much later she was an accused traitor on the verge of execution in the Tower. Among all this, she had been taught the most advanced curriculum of the day. But it was her lessons in the school of life that mattered more, and that taught her humanity. Dr David Starkey recreates a host of extravagant characters, mad-cap schemes, and tragic plots, while using original documents to point up the importance of the rituals of power and life at court. He writes with admirable clarity about religion and constitutional history. This brilliant book contrasts the daughters of Henry VIII: the pious Catholic Mary and her clever sister. The key to understanding Elizabeth is her determination not to make the same mistakes as Mary. Language: English. Narrator: Patricia Hodge.

Star Force: Mak'to'ran 2: Star Force Universe, Book 28 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
Mak'to'ran travels to the Hjar'at with information regarding the altered Hadarak and the alliance of extremely advanced races that Star Force has amassed...only to find even more treachery amongst the very militant Stegosauruses. Beginning the Star Force Phase Two timeline, the Mak'to'ran serial details the defeated V'kit'no'sat fleet commander's days following the attack on Earth and the fallout within the Dinosaur empire that results from it. For as bad as the treason regarding the Humans and the bastardized Hadarak is, and the implications that one of the two founding V'kit'no'sat races are behind it, a much larger rift within the empire is being exposed that has the potential to do what neither the Zak'de'ron culling nor the Rit'ko'sor rebellion accomplished. A full Dinosaur civil war. Star Force is a massive scifi franchise currently divided into two phases. Phase Two is the V'kit'no'sat war between Star Force and the Dinosaur empire. Phase One is the backstory to that conflict detailed in the Origin Series that contains 100 novella-length episodes. New listeners can either start with the backstory or jump right into the conflict with the Phase Two entry novel Lost Destiny. The Mak'to'ran series is written in heavy canon detail and not friendly to new listeners...unless you're adventurous, adaptive, and overly intelligent. If you are, then you might be worthy of being a V'kit'no'sat, in which case dive right in and learn how Jurassic Park got the dinosaurs oh so wrong. They're not attractions in a petting zoo. They're the masters of our galaxy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Day. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/151648/bk_acx0_151648_sample.mp3.

The Dangers of Eating Energy Bars: Why People Mistakenly Believe that Energy Bars Are Healthy to Eat, Why You Should Not Eat Energy Bars, and the Plethora of Simple to Prepare Healthy Food Recipes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
This essay sheds light on the dangers of eating energy bars, elucidates why people mistakenly believe that energy bars are healthy to eat, and explicates why you should never eat energy bars. Moreover, the plethora of simple to prepare and palatable healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified and the surfeit of deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are revealed in this essay. Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting deleterious chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. Unsurprisingly, the consumption of energy bars is not without its deleterious ramifications against your overall health. Energy bars are an unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline, synthetic, bastardized man made product are are laced with added “sugars, artificial ingredients, partially hydrogenated oils” (“Energy Bar Ingredients”, n.d.), and a host of other noxious ingredients. Energy bars may also contain pathogens, endocrine distributors, neurotoxins, “genetically modified ingredients” (Painter, 2009), and carcinogens. Some of the ample noxious ingredients that energy bars can be comprised of encompass “high-fructose corn syrup, soy protein isolate, inulin, agave syrup, brown rice syrup, sucralose, fractionated palm kernel oil, and sugar alcohols” (Young, 2016). Energy bars are a motley of deleterious ingredients that can cause digestive distress and other health issues. “The process of ‘isolating’ the soy protein to produce soy protein isolate for instance can leave behind traces of the neurotoxins hexane and aluminum and can even cause digestive woes due to higher concentrations of trypsin inhibitors that could block the digestion of plant protein. Moreover, around 90% of all soy is ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Francis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/222435/bk_acx0_222435_sample.mp3.

Why You Should Never Consume Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Why You Should Avoid Consuming Vinegar, the Dangers of Consuming Olive Oil and Vinegar, and Simple to Prepare and Flavorous Healthy Food Recipes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min
This essay sheds light on why you should never consume extra virgin olive oil, explicates why you should avoid consuming vinegar, and elucidates the dangers of consuming olive oil and vinegar. Moreover, the plethora of simple to prepare and flavorous healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified, deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering eating are identified, and how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting deleterious chronic diseases by embracing a heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon is the essay.While it may perplexing to most, the notion that neither extra virgin olive oil nor vinegar should ever be consumed is something that is erroneously disregarded in spite of the dire perils associated with consuming these aforementioned products. Much to the dismay of avowed oil consumers, oils are highly oxidized and are synthetic, man made products that can easily be carcinogenic, pathogenic, and devoid of any essential nutrients from whole plant based sources which is why all the more reason they should also never be consumed. The body was not designed to assimilate oxidized, synthetic, bastardized man made products nor was designed to optimally assimilate isolated fat extracts, such as those found in oils. Much to the chagrin of health conscious customers, olive oil is not only highly oxidized liquid comprised of isolated fat extracts but is also highly calorie dense.“At over 4,000 calories per pound, olive oil is far more calorie dense than even pure refined sugar, which has 1,725 calories per pound. Profusely consuming olive oil can easily lead to unhealthy weight gain and obesity, which leads us straight to poor heart health. That is because weight gain increases insulin resistance in many people and leads to a variety of metabolic changes tha ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Scott.

Cosmopolitan: A Bartender's Life, Hörbuch, Digital, 148min
Cosmopolitan: A Bartender's Life is a memoir of the bartending life structured as a day in the life at Passerby, the bar owned and run by Toby Cecchini. It is, as well, a rich study of human nature, of the sometimes annoying, sometimes outlandish behavior of the human animal under the influence of alcohol, lust and the sheer desire to bust loose and party. It's not a pretty picture, but it's always compelling through the gimlet-eyed gaze of the author. As his typical day progresses, from the almost pastoral quiet of opening the bar and setting up to the gathering rush of customers dropping in after work to the sheer madness of catering to a crazed crush of funseekers, Toby Cecchini muses over a life spent in the service industry and the fascinating particulars of his chosen profession. Topics touched on include dealing with regulars, both welcome and not; sex and the bartender; cocktail connoisseurs (and drinks he refuses to make); learning the bartending ropes of the Odeon when young and newly arrived in New York; the sheer man-killing pace of keeping those drinks coming at flood tide; and the manifold varieties of weirdness and bad behavior that every bartender has to learn how to manage. Of particular cultural interest is the author's account of his reinvention of the Cosmopolitan when he bartended at Odeon and his dismay as the drink went on to be bastardized by many thousands of bartenders and became a highly dubious indicator of urban sophistication. Cosmopolitan is the hip, behind-the-scenes look at the frenzied and undeniably fun atmosphere of that great establishment, the bar. It does for bartenders what Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential did for chefs. Toby Cecchini is, by turns, witty, acute, mordant and lyrical in dealing with the realities of his job, shedding plenty of light on the hidden corners of what people do when they go out at night.
