Survival: From Childhood Sexual Abuse Victim to World Boxing Champion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min
Vinnie Curto was born in East Boston, Massachusetts, on July 10, 1955. His father Jimmy Curto was a raving, sick, alcoholic homosexual. Vinnie’s father and his drunken friends sexually abused young Vinnie, frequently raping him and performing other deviant sexual acts on him, while his mother Loretta stood by and let it happen.When Vinnie was 14, his father forced him to pursue a boxing career. Jimmy Curto told his son that the only way he could ever be proud of him is if he won a boxing championship. He said if Vinnie failed in that, his only other alternative would be to commit suicide. To make his point, Jimmy produced a handgun and made Vinnie hold it in his hands. It is a memory that has haunted Vinnie for years.To escape his living hell at home, at the age of 16, Vinnie lied about his age and joined the Navy. Although the falsification of his age was later discovered and he was discharged, while serving, he joined the boxing team and made many contacts that would benefit his career in the future. Vinnie’s decision to join the Navy not only altered his life, it may very well have saved it. After his stint in the military, Vinnie joined the Olympic boxing team, where he made several more valuable contacts, including the legendary trainer Angelo Dundee.The doors to his future were being opened. However, his road to a title fight would be long and paved with danger. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeffrey A. Hering.

Gaslighting: A History of Deception and Revenge (Personal Help Included): Toxic Others, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
Most people think that gaslighting is very recent. We think that it became viral with Trump. We don’t know much about history or its leaders to recognize that other American leaders (and leaders of other countries) have gaslit the people beneath them since the dawn of creation. We don’t recognize that most of the gaslighters have a genetic propensity for gaslighting (DRD4 long gene polymorphism). Nor do we recognize that gaslighters will become more and more prevalent in our environment. Psychologists and psychiatrists will tell you there isn’t much literature or studies on gaslighting. The real lessons in gaslighting are found in history books. They are found in politics. The lessons are found in philosophy. They are found in the psychological disorders that caused people to be institutionalized by others; women locked up with hysteria from the men who were vying for control over them. The truth is that gaslighting has been around since the beginning of time in one way or another. The tactics used in gaslighting have been used to win wars and establish kingdoms. Gaslighting has been used to establish entire religions, and to drive inhabitants out of their countries. Gaslighting was used by Columbus in his interactions with Spain’s leaders to convince them to fund his travels in search of gold. The tactics have been used to drive people to commit suicide, homicide and genocide. The tactics have been used to establish pecking orders in families and in groups of people. Gaslighting tactics are used in companies to maintain control....Download now to hear more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Michael Von Neupert.

Wrong Side of the Tracks The Rolling Stones - In Conversation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
What is it which still drives The Rolling Stones, all well into their 70's (with the exception of guitarist Ron Wood) to continue to commit to the grueling grind of international touring year after year? Although they all have large families it certainly can’t be the money anymore. They pretty much all stopped drinking and drugging, and despite their sometimes outrageous appearance lead fairly conservative familial lives. The wild adulation of the fans, let’s face it, after 50+ years must, by definition, become rather tiresome. Yet still the answer as to why they continue to do what they do so well is very simple - it’s the music stupid. The fact is the Rolling Stones get the same incredible high-octane kick out of their music as the fans do. And why not play music into your 70's - all of their original heroes, the old Delta blues men certainly did!In this unique audiobook by actor, author, narrator Geoffrey Giuliano you’ll find the very best of the Stones in their own words and of those who know them best. For every committed fan, popular music historian, casual listener, student of 20th century art and culture, curious commuter, as well as all library and school systems, here is the perfect audio addition to your collection. Listen to it, learn from it, and enjoy the incredible spectacle, high art and unthinkable longevity of the fabulous and imaginative rock band founded so many years ago by the late great Brian Jones.

The Magic Quirt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
When it comes to boiling up a pot of coffee or stirring up a pot of stew, Old Laramie’s about as good a man as you’re going to find. But other than cooking three squares a day for the cowpunchers over at the Lazy G ranch, Laramie’s not good for much. But Laramie’s luck - and life - are about to take an amazing turn. Quite by accident, he somehow manages to save a family of Mexicans from bandits, and as a token of their gratitude they give him The Magic Quirt - a horsewhip that he’s told will turn him into a new man. Also includes the western adventures, “Vengeance Is Mine!” the story of a young man who sets out to avenge his father's death only to commit an act beyond redemption; and “Stacked Bullets”, in which a game of chance is fixed, a whole town is cheated, and nothing but a stack of bullets can make things right. The transformation is indeed magical. Suddenly, Laramie is performing feats of ingenuity and courage that would make even the Lone Ranger proud. But magic is a funny thing - and as Laramie’s about to discover, sometimes it’s all an illusion. Crack the whip, jingle the spurs, and pull the trigger as the audio version of The Magic Quirt works its Wild West magic on you. “Pure entertainment from first page to last with that L. Ron Hubbard touch giving this tale an enduring reading engagement from beginning to end.” (Midwest Book Review) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R. F. Daley, Jim Meskimen.

Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
At a time when access to health care in the United States is being widely debated, Nortin Hadler argues that an even more important issue is being overlooked. Although necessary health care should be available to all who need it, he says, the current health-care debate assumes that everyone requires massive amounts of expensive care to stay healthy. Hadler urges that before we commit to paying for whatever pharmaceutical companies and the medical establishment tell us we need, American consumers need to adopt an attitude of skepticism and arm themselves with enough information to make some of their own decisions about what care is truly necessary. Each chapter of Worried Sick is an object lesson regarding the uses and abuses of a particular type of treatment, such as mammography, colorectal screening, statin drugs, or coronary stents. For consumers and medical professionals interested in understanding the scientific basis for Hadler's arguments, each topical chapter has an accompanying source chapter in which Hadler discusses the medical literature and studies that inform his critique. According to Hadler, a major stumbling block to rational health-care policy in the United States is contention over the very concept of what constitutes good health. By learning to distinguish good medical advice from persuasive medical marketing, consumers can make better decisions about their personal health and use that wisdom to inform their perspectives on health-policy issues.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.
