    Our Crime Was Being Jewish: Hundreds of Holocaust Survivors Tell Their Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 788min
    In the shouted words of a woman bound for Auschwitz to a man about to escape from a cattle car, "If you get out, maybe you can tell the story! Who else will tell it?" Our Crime Was Being Jewish contains 576 vivid memories of 358 Holocaust survivors. These are the true, insider stories of victims, told in their own words. They include the experiences of teenagers who saw their parents and siblings sent to the gas chambers; of starving children beaten for trying to steal a morsel of food; of people who saw their friends commit suicide to save themselves from the daily agony they endured. The recollections are from the start of the war - the home invasions, the Gestapo busts, and the ghettos - as well as the daily hell of the concentration camps and what actually happened inside. Six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and this hefty collection of stories told by its survivors is one of the most important books of our time. It was compiled by award-winning author Anthony S. Pitch, who worked with sources such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to get survivors' stories compiled together and to supplement them with images from the war. These memories must be told and held on to so what happened is documented; so the lives of those who perished are not forgotten; so history does not repeat itself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Frame: Peter English, PI Mystery Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    Peter English, at six foot two, chiseled features, clear blue eyes, and tipping the scale at 185, could be the poster boy for a police recruiting campaign. He was a former WW II MP with a law degree, who liked being a cop. It suited his personality and skills very well. His wife Amy had even adjusted to being a cop's wife.Then, it all fell apart. After a long illness, Amy died, and Peter was wrongly accused of a crime that he did not commit. He lost his job, and the world he loved had come to an unhappy and premature end. He had to come to terms with Amy's death, get his head back on straight, and find out who framed him. It would take all the skill, training, and experience of his time on the force to accomplish the latter. After all, he was still a detective - a damn good detective - with or without a badge.This is the story of betrayal, injustice, and crime that one man decided to do something about. He's not concerned about following the rules, how many people he brings down, or the number of bodies he leaves behind to accomplish this.His goal is to expose the corruption, clear his name, bring to justice or eliminate those responsible, and see that this cannot and will not happen to anyone else. He is too angry to fail! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Nixon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/192806/bk_acx0_192806_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Quarterly Essay 78: The Coal Curse: Resources, Climate and Australia’s Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Australia is a wealthy nation with the economic profile of a developing country - heavy on raw materials and low on innovation and skilled manufacturing. Once we rode on the sheep’s back for our overseas trade; today we rely on cartloads of coal and tankers of LNG. So must we double down on fossil fuels, now that COVID-19 has halted the flow of international students and tourists? Or is there a better way forward, which supports renewable energy and local manufacturing? Judith Brett traces the unusual history of Australia’s economy and the 'resource curse' that has shaped our politics. She shows how the mining industry learned to run fear campaigns and how the Coalition became dominated by fossil-fuel interests to the exclusion of other voices. In this insightful essay about leadership, vision and history, she looks at the costs of Australia’s coal addiction and asks, where will we be if the world stops buying it? "Faced with the crisis of a global pandemic, for the first time in more than a decade Australia has had evidence-based, bipartisan policy-making. Politicians have listened to the scientists and...put ideology and the protection of vested interests aside and behaved like adults. Can they do the same to commit to fast and effective action to try to save our children’s and grandchildren’s future, to prevent the catastrophic fires and heatwaves the scientists predict, the species extinction and the famines?” (Judith Brett, The Coal Curse) ungekürzt.

    The Man Who Melted , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 681min
    The Man Who Melted is a warning for the future. It is the Brave New World and 1984 for our time, for it gives us a glimpse into our own future - a future ruled by corporations that control deadly and powerful forms of mass manipulation. It is a prediction of what could happen... tomorrow. The Man Who Melted examines how technology affects us and changes our morality, and it questions how we might remain human in an inhuman world. Will the future disenfranchise or empower the individual? Here you'll find new forms of sexuality, new perversions, new epiphanies, and an entirely new form of consciousness. Would you pay to "go down" with the Titanic?In this dystopia, the Titanic is brought back from the bottom of the sea and refurbished, only to be sunk again for those who want the ultimate decadent experience. Some passengers pay to commit suicide by "going under" with the ship. The Man Who Melted has been called "one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time" by Science Fiction Age and is considered a genre classic. It is the stunning odyssey of a man searching through the glittering, apocalyptic landscape of the next century for a woman lost to him in a worldwide outbreak of telepathic fear. Here is a terrifying future where people can gamble away their hearts (and other organs) and telepathically taste the last flickering thoughts of the dead. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Murderous Minds: Exploring the Criminal Psychopathic Brain: Neurological Imaging and the Manifestation of Evil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 586min
    Is there a biological basis for evil? From neurological imaging to behavioral studies, Dean Haycock's account of the groundbreaking research reveals what scientists are learning about the psychopaths living among us. How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself "How could someone do something like that?" Today neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing, and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real-life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and listeners - for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad? Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your coworker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences.

    Issued to the Bride: One Sniper: Brides of Chance Creek Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Sniper Hunter Powell thought he lost everything when he took the rap for a crime he didn't commit in order to save a friend. Now he's got a chance to redeem himself. There's only one catch: He has to leave the military, settle down on a Montana ranch - and marry a woman he's never met before. A woman so young and sheltered he can't believe she'll have any interest in a hardened warrior like him - even if her fierce independence, hot-tempered humor, and unexpected beauty has got him plenty interested in her. Jo Reed watched two of her sisters marry the men her father sent to help them on the family ranch, so when Hunter arrives, she's ready for him. She doesn't want a husband; she wants a house of her own where she can call the shots - and if the Navy SEAL wants to stay, he'd better build it to her specifications. More to the point, he'd better stop kissing her. Hunter knows he's not supposed to build Jo a house - he's supposed to marry her. But first he's got to earn her trust and stop treating her like a new recruit. The longer he's around the headstrong woman, the more he wants to be around her. Despite her best intentions, Jo's falling for the Navy SEAL, but she's already been unlucky in love twice. Will the third time around be the charm? Or the last straw?

    Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
    Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys is a new collection of corkscrewed tales from the author of Great Apes. The Guardian (London) describes Will Self as "a wayward genius", and you can find out why when you observe the author's pitiless dissection of the foibles of men, women, and the Volvo 760 Turbo. Self's world is a no-funhouse of warped mirrors. A man is seduced into a misanthropically charged symbiosis with the insects infesting his cottage; he has entered "Flytopia". In "A Story for Europe", a two-year-old English child utters his first halting words...in business German. In "Caring, Sharing", status-conscious New Yorkers navigate the perils of dating along with their very literal inner children. In "The Rock of Crack as Big as the Ritz", a black Londoner discovers an enormous rock of crack cocaine underpinning his house and quickly turns it into an efficient little empire. In the title story, a psychoanalyst strips away all the sangfroid of his professionalism to find beneath...precisely nothing. And in the short novella The Nonce Prize, a man framed for a sex crime he didn't commit finds that his only way out is to win a short-story competition. Sharp, funny, and packed with verbal fireworks, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys confirms yet again Will Self's stature as one of the most accomplished and original writers of his generation. ungekürzt.
