    Great Figures of the Civil Rights Movement, Hörbuch, Digital, 380min
    Malcolm X. Marcus Garvey. Charles Hamilton Houston. Diane Nash. For every well-known figure of the Civil Rights Movement, there are dozens of lesser-known, yet no less significant, activists who helped advance America’s social views and helped shape race relations in this country. Most listeners have only skimmed the surface of these deeply complex, influential, and world-changing figures. Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries of The Ohio State University delves into their stories, presenting an intimate study of the men and women who led half a century of social change. Listeners will hear the histories behind well-known names, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, and gain surprising insight and deep context about the activists’ contributions. Dr. Jeffries also introduces figures whose names may be less familiar, but who also played vital roles in Civil Rights, such as Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Stokely Carmichael. Each biography unfolds like a piece of riveting fiction, as Dr. Jeffries recounts the challenges and successes of the individuals - and the tremendous risks they took - while explaining how their choices transformed the way we now think about race and justice. Most importantly, listeners will discover how actions that may have seemed small or even futile at the time gradually rippled into waves of social change that impacted decades to come.

    Abused by Her Brother, but We Shared the Best Kiss: The Power of Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    “A brilliant way to provide enough ideas about friendship and the plot of this true story suits for movie.” (Bruce Azkiel) She had told me to recall all the wonderful moments we had had as a way to gain strength in difficult times during my life, and she claimed our friendship was the best gift from God, but today I am far from her while my mind making me feel that I could not stop being near her constantly.I understood very well that there were dark, furious occurrences that could suck the life out of her, had drained her wonderful personality. And at this point of life, they carried exceptional qualities about her that she could not uncover before our friendship. I could feel something rippled deep in her soul, like something causing intense pain in the guts.“I have kept this hurtful secret as a mental slave who would never hope for liberation or freedom.” Don’t get me wrong, this didn’t mean that I didn’t have friends at all. But, “True friendship with a girl” like the one I was going to develop with Yvalia was like a new world for me. These five bold-font words in the preceding sentence are big words. Yes, they’re powerful, intimidating, and splendid. These are words for heroes, for those who brave the impossible, who can control the part of their bodies below the belly button, and make the real difference between friendship and relationship with the opposite sex. ungekürzt.

    Chaparral Christmas Gift (eBook, ePUB)
    "It possessed a quantity of jet-black hair, a pair of extremely frank, deep-brown eyes and a laugh that rippled across the prairie like the sound of a hidden brook. The name of it was Rosita McMullen..."Though Rosita has many suitors, she ultimately chooses the young cattleman Madison Lane and the two are wed on Christmas Day. Rejected lover Jonny McRoy crashes the wedding and fires off his handgun yelling, "I'll give you a Christmas present!" But luckily he is deterred by the armed guests. It's only a matter of time, however, until Christmas time comes around once more and it's McRoy's turn to bring presents...American short story master O. Henry is best known for his pithy, witty scores and surprise endings. In doing so he made commonplace experiences extraordinary and memorable. His work has been immortalised in the popular 1952 film 'O. Henry's Full House' starring Fred Allen, Anne Baxter, Marilyn Monroe and Jeanne Crain. William Sidney Porter (1862-1919), known simply as O. Henry, was a prolific American author of humorous literary pieces. His fame came exceptionally quickly and he became a bestselling author of short story collections. Perhaps the most famous of these are, 'Cabbages and Kings,' 'The Voice of the City' and 'Strictly Business.' The immensity of O. Henry's impact on the American short story genre for time to come is evidenced by the fact that an annual award in his name is given out each year in the United States. O. Henry's work is a must read for fans of Hemingway, Guy de Maupassant and Anton Chekhov.

    A Death in the Lucky Holiday Hotel: Murder, Money, and an Epic Power Struggle in China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    The downfall of Bo Xilai in China was more than a darkly thrilling mystery. It revealed a cataclysmic internal power struggle between Communist Party factions, one that reached all the way to China’s new president Xi Jinping. The scandalous story of the corruption of the Bo Xilai family - the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood; Bo’s secret lovers; the secret maneuverings of Bo’s supporters; the hasty trial and sentencing of Gu Kailai, Bo’s wife - was just the first rumble of a seismic power struggle that continues to rock the very foundation of China’s all-powerful Communist Party. By the time it is over, the machinations in Beijing and throughout the country that began with Bo’s fall could affect China’s economic development and disrupt the world’s political and economic order. Pin Ho and Wenguang Huang have pieced together the details of this fascinating political drama from firsthand reporting and an unrivaled array of sources, some very high in the Chinese government. This was the first scandal in China to play out in the international media - details were leaked, sometimes invented, to non-Chinese news outlets as part of the power plays that rippled through the government. The attempt to manipulate the Western media, especially, was a fundamental dimension to the story, and one that affected some of the early reporting. A Death in the Lucky Holiday Hotel returns to the scene of the crime and shows not only what happened in Room 1605 but how the threat of the story was every bit as important in the life and death struggle for power that followed. It touched celebrities and billionaires and redrew the cast of the new leadership of the Communist Party. The ghost of Neil Heywood haunts China to this day. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ripple for Beginners: An Introduction to XRP , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    Ryan Fugger conceived Ripple in 2004 after working on a local exchange trading system in Vancouver. The intent was to create a monetary system that was decentralized and could effectively empower individuals and communities to create their own money. Fugger later built the first iteration of this system, RipplePay.com. Concurrently, in May 2011, Jed McCaleb began developing a digital currency system in which transactions were verified by consensus among members of the network, rather than by the mining process used by Bitcoin. In August 2012, Jed McCaleb hired Chris Larsen, and they approached Ryan Fugger with their digital currency idea. After discussions with McCaleb and long-standing members of the Ripple community, Fugger handed over the reins. In September 2012, Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb co-founded the corporation OpenCoin. OpenCoin began development of the ripple protocol (RTXP) and the Ripple payment and exchange network. On April 11, 2013, OpenCoin announced it had closed an angel round of funding with several venture capital firms. That same month, OpenCoin acquired SimpleHoney to help it popularize virtual currencies and make them easier for average users. On May 14, 2013, OpenCoin announced that it had closed a second round of angel funding. In July 2013, Jed McCaleb separated from active employment with Ripple. On September 26, 2013, OpenCoin officially changed its name to Ripple Labs, Inc. Their CTO, Stefan Thomas, further announced that the source code for the peer-to-peer node behind the Ripple payment network was officially open source. Parts of Ripple, particularly a JavaScript-based web client, had been open source months before, but the release of the peer-to-peer "full node" Rippled meant that the community now had the required tools needed to maintain the Ripple network on its own. ungekürzt.

    Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 887min
    Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR and The Washington Post"Compelling, insightful, and important, Beneath a Ruthless Sun exposes the corruption of racial bigotry and animus that shadows a community, a state and a nation. A fascinating examination of an injustice story all too familiar and still largely ignored, an engaging and essential read." (Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy)From the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning best-seller Devil in the Grove, the gripping true story of a small town with a big secret.In December 1957, the wife of a Florida citrus baron is raped in her home while her husband is away. She claims a "husky Negro" did it, and the sheriff, the infamous racist Willis McCall, does not hesitate to round up a herd of suspects. But within days, McCall turns his sights on Jesse Daniels, a gentle, mentally impaired white 19-year-old. Soon Jesse is railroaded up to the state hospital for the insane and locked away without trial. But crusading journalist Mabel Norris Reese cannot stop fretting over the case and its baffling outcome. Who was protecting whom, or what? She pursues the story for years, chasing down leads, hitting dead ends, winning unlikely allies. Bit by bit, the unspeakable truths behind a conspiracy that shocked a community into silence begin to surface. Beneath a Ruthless Sun tells a powerful, pause-resisting story rooted in the fears that rippled through the South as integration began to take hold, sparking a surge of virulent racism that savaged the vulnerable, debased the powerful, and roils our own times still. ungekürzt.

    The Warrior: Hot Steamy Paranormal Shifter Romance : Heart of Stone, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    A mysterious legend exists from the days of an old...A war, raging above us in the universe for the last thousand years. Tales were spun about a ruthless god-like king who sat on an eternal throne, protecting his kingdom from other clans. He carelessly cast lives away with a cold indifference and his legend grew, as he became the fear of many and the hope of a few.  An entire world filled with lustful pleasures and miserable pain came before him, with its many joys and reluctant sorrows but he could never feel anything. His power increased, while his coldness grew. He scorned love, laughed at death and watched as many lived, loved and died just for the pleasure of experiencing it. It never moved him, for he was the King of Beasts, the most feared and ungodly monarch of all the realms.  The power of his birthright brought an immortal existence for him which lasted for a millennia; though in reality, he’d not even lived a single day. He became weary of the throne and removed his crown to step into our world and find a way to feel alive. He found his heart and the beat of it started when the greatest power known to any world overwhelmed it. The bitterness faded while his cold eyes took in a new wonder, a new phenomenon - love.  He reveled in a new life where he lived, loved and was king no more. The sins committed by him and the pain that fell on others by virtue of his cold actions, rippled through echoing against the fabric of time to bounce back endlessly. Vengeance is cold and its deliverance divinely fated; the beasts of vengeance will have their day.  “Love can be a velvet gift with a steel gauntlet in it.” ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sensitive: Paranormal Erotica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min, (USK 18)
    Miya believes that her lover can read her thoughts. Has she just gone crazy? That is possible, seeing as she was kidnapped and taken to a research facility. Miya is enchanted by her captor and, gradually, she succumbs to his "magic hands". Content warning: This story contains abduction, bondage, and involuntary sedation. The sex is consensual and explicit. This audiobook is appropriate for mature listeners only. Excerpt: "Who are you?" I demanded. My body was giving way to panic. I pushed against the restraints, though I knew they wouldn't budge. "Give me a reading," the stranger stated. He positioned my injured arm between his hands, cupping my elbow. "Surface temperature 38 degrees," the man to my left stated. What? Was he talking about me? It had to be Celsius.... Damn it, I should know what that means. "Heart rate 140 BPM. Blood pressure 175 over 90." That I understood. It was way too high. I shuddered. But how did they read it without a cuff? "Just relax." His words blanketed me with a sense of ease, but there was something more. A warm comfort rippled beneath his hands. The pain in my elbow peeled away. With narrowed eyes he stared down at my arm. Sensation tingled toward my hand, like a rush of blood, then my hand went numb. "ETA 35 minutes," a man's voice said from the front of the vehicle. "Where are we going?" I tried to make my words forceful, but my chest was heavy. A hum of feeling in my arm consumed my awareness. My arm twitched then relaxed again. The pain was completely gone. I had tried reiki and meditation in college, but this was something I had never experienced. It was as if he commanded my muscles to relax. You're just imagining things. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Bride for the Demon Horde , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min, (USK 18)
    When Jenna Malcone left for work on a normal day, she had no idea how her life was going to change. Taken by the wicked minister, Solomon, she finds herself in the middle of a profane wedding to free a demon horde from the abyss - with her as the bride! Jenna's body might not be able to consummate the unholy union, but the swarm of monstrous demons will try like hell to make her theirs forever. Excerpt: The dark, naked bodies rose from the shadows. Jenna was too terrified to scream, unable to run, and could only watch in horror as she saw the forms of the demons take shape before her. Unnoticed, her bouquet fell from her trembling hands to land on the floor at her feet. Jenna turned back to the minister, and saw that he had a perverse grin spreading wide on his face. His blasphemous ceremony had worked, and the demon horde was becoming incarnate to take their bride. She had agreed to this, she had said the words "I do", but now everything was becoming too real. The figures were dark-skinned and shaped like hulking human men, for the most part. Their muscles rippled in a grotesque parody of natural life, and a dark smoke emanated from their pores, dissipating in the cathedral. Jenna realized that she could smell the soot from where she stood, a heady pollution with the scent of brimstone and fire. She saw that there were at least 20 of the monsters coming for her, their eyes glowing pale yellow, greedy for her flesh. Suddenly, Jenna found that the fear had flipped a switch inside her. She regained enough control of herself to run. She turned to flee, spinning as fast as she could, her wedding dress billowing out behind her. Before she had taken two steps, her feet caught and she tumbled to the stone floor of the cathedral. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw the creatures were nearly to her already, their arms reaching for her where she had fell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Kline.
