    The Running War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    There is no place on this round planet where I can run that will be any farther than the next place - any place will eventually spin on its axis until it reaches the point of departure. War can live deep inside a family long after the combat has come and gone. With a poet's voice, E. L. Carter evokes that generational echo in the story of one grieving young woman who is trying to find her birthright. Maddy has been running. She has run from her home, her family, and her lovers. Then her brother's suicide after being injured in the Iraq War, leaving her a mysterious note about a gift. With the help of an old family friend, she begins to explore her brother's story and her family history. As she works to uncover what her brother has left her, she finds herself in the middle of a parallel mystery: the legacy of her grandmother, a Gypsy holocaust survivor who has been ostracized by the family. In order to accept her brother's gift, Maddy eventually discovers that she must stop, listen, and face generations of women's war trauma that bridge Europe, the US, and the Middle East. Part mystery, part meditation, The Running War weaves together narratives into a whole that asks as many questions as it answers. What does an enemy mean? How do we survive suffering? What is the women's legacy of war that embeds itself in generation after generation? Lyrical and haunting, The Running War is ultimately a call toward healing intergenerational trauma, no matter the source. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicol Zanzarella.

    Comparative Political Economy (eBook, PDF)
    This is a book about how 21st-century capitalism really works. Modern economics strips away social, historical, and political context from analysis of 'the economic', but the economy is far too important to leave exclusively to the economists. Comparative Political Economy (CPE) is a much broader, richer intellectual undertaking which 're-embeds' the analysis of the economic within the social and political realm. This is at the heart of how to think like a political economist.This text maps the terrain and evolution of CPE, providing the analytical tools to explore the many variants of capitalism, unearthing their roots in competing visions of the desirable distribution of the fruits of growth. Connecting CPE systematically to the subfield of International Political Economy (IPE), the book explains how these visions generate ongoing political struggles over how to regulate and manage capitalism. This is the perfect introduction to the field for all students of CPE and IPE. New to this Edition:- Fully revised and updated throughout to take into account the latest empirical and theoretical developments in this fast-moving field- A brand New chapter on the political economy of inequality, populism, Trump & Brexit- New expanded 'how to use this book' aimed at student readers- More coverage of the types of economies covered, to move from an exclusively Western focus to cover developing and emerging global economies

    The Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of an Underground America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
    In the tradition of Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief, and Mark Kurlansky’s Cod - a renowned culinary adventurer goes into the woods with the iconoclasts and outlaws who seek the world’s most coveted ingredient...and one of nature’s last truly wild foods: the uncultivated, uncontrollable mushroom. Within the dark corners of America’s forests grow culinary treasures. Chefs pay top dollar to showcase these elusive and beguiling ingredients on their menus. Whether dressing up a filet mignon with smoky morels or shaving luxurious white truffles over pasta, the most elegant restaurants across the country now feature an abundance of wild mushrooms. The mushroom hunters, by contrast, are a rough lot. They live in the wilderness and move with the seasons. Motivated by Gold Rush desires, they haul improbable quantities of fungi from the woods for cash. Langdon Cook embeds himself in this shadowy subculture, reporting from both rural fringes and big-city eateries with the flair of a novelist, uncovering along the way what might be the last gasp of frontier-style capitalism. Meet Doug, an ex-logger and crabber - now an itinerant mushroom picker trying to pay his bills and stay out of trouble; and Jeremy, a former cook turned wild food entrepreneur, crisscrossing the continent to build a business amid cutthroat competition; their friend Matt, an up-and-coming chef whose kitchen alchemy is turning heads; and the woman who inspires them all. Rich with the science and lore of edible fungi - from seductive chanterelles to exotic porcini - The Mushroom Hunters is equal parts gonzo travelogue and culinary history lesson, a rollicking, character-driven tour through a world that is by turns secretive, dangerous, and tragically American. ungekürzt.

    Overcoming Depression with Hope and Firefighting, Hörbuch, Digital, 89min
    This breakthrough programme is for those who are losing faith in what the depression experts are saying and losing hope that their depression can be overcome. Overcoming Depression with Hope and Firefighting builds hope that your depression can be overcome. And to do that, you learn what the causes of depression are. And by doing that, the great ignorance around depression will be dispelled - to be replaced by a realisation that recovery is possible. And then the first steps on that road to recovery can begin to be taken. The effect of this is to create the beginnings of a virtuous cycle, to replace the typical depression vicious cycle. There are four audios in this Overcoming Depression with Hope and Firefighting programme: HF1 Building Hope (20 mins) HF1 is about dispensing information and the basic idea of what causes depression. HF2 Hope Meditation (25 mins) HF2 covers the same ground but in a very different way - by focussing on the lesson learnt by Matthew and by a short relaxation/trance. HF3 Firefighting (17 mins) HF3 takes the first steps to recovery by teaching and visualising ways in which you can firefight - to begin to reduce arousal and rumination. HF4 Relax and Needs (26 mins) HF4 is an extended trance and relaxation audio that focuses on the really big and profound insights of the Human Givens approach. By this time, these ideas can be readily absorbed and, I hope, will excite you. Listen to HF1 and HF2 over the first week and HF3 and HF4 in the second week. It is, of course, really important that the message of these four audios embeds into your unconscious and you listen to them more than once. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Richardson.

    Dueling with Kings: High Stakes, Killer Sharks, and the Get-Rich Promise of Daily Fantasy Sports , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 788min
    As Bringing Down the House did for card counters and Positively Fifth Street did for poker players, Daniel Barbarisi does for Daily Fantasy Sports fans in this leap down the rabbit hole of America's latest obsession. Daniel Barbarisi quits his job as the New York Yankees beat writer for The Wall Street Journal and begins a quest: to join the top 1 percent of Daily Fantasy Sports ("DFS") players, the so-called "sharks", and figure out whether DFS is on the level - while maybe cashing in along the way. DFS is fantasy sports on steroids. It's the domain of bitter rivals FanDuel and DraftKings, online juggernauts who turned a legal loophole into a billion-dollar industry by allowing sports fans to bet piles of cash constructing fantasy teams. Yet as Barbarisi quickly realized, what should have been a fun companion to casual sports viewing was instead a ferocious environment infested with sharks, a top tier of pros wielding complex algorithms, drafting hundreds of lineups, and wagering six figures daily as they bludgeon unsuspecting amateur "fish". Barbarisi embeds himself inside the world of DFS, befriending and joining its rogues' gallery as he tries to beat them at their own game. In a work equal parts adventure and rigorously reported investigation, Barbarisi wades into this chaotic industry at the very moment its existence is threatened by lawmakers sick of its Wild West atmosphere and pushy advertising. All their money made FanDuel and DraftKings seem invincible; but, as Barbarisi reports, they made plenty of dubious - perhaps even scandalous - moves as they vied for market supremacy. In Dueling with Kings, Barbarisi uncovers the tumultuous inside story of DFS, all while capturing its peculiar cast of characters, from wide-eyed newly minted millionaires to sun-starved math geeks to bros living an endless frat party of keggers and Playboy bunnies. Can he outwit them all and make it to the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/sans/007798/bk_sans_007798_sample.mp3.

    Down on Her Luck: Alaina's Story: What's Luck Got to Do with It, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    Thirty-nine-year-old struggling actress Alaina Ackerman isn't just down on her luck today; lady luck has packed up and left town for heaven only knows where. Instead of ending up homeless on the streets of New York City in November, Alaina accepts her mother's holiday invitation and heads home to Pittsburgh for a much-needed break. Maybe even to give up on acting altogether. The last thing Alaina expects is to be happy returning home, especially when fate not only tosses an abandoned puppy into her lap, but also practically embeds Markus Klein into her life. That wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't spent the last 20 years trying to forget the night they crossed the "just friends" line. Now, torn between a love she thought she lost, and one she never knew existed, that vicious harpy some call fate dangles Alaina's dream opportunity - a leading role - in front of her. Her only problem...going after her dream could jeopardize her chance at love. As if a new puppy, love, and career aren't complicated enough, Alaina discovers that her mother and sister are keeping a secret from her. The revelation might be just enough to get Alaina's life heading in the right direction...or send her over the edge. WARNING: Although there are many adult situations in this contemporary women's fiction with a hint of humor and romance, if say...something crazy happened and a famous producer adapted this novel into a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating. There are no erotic scenes, no graphic violence, and while there are a few allowed-on-TV curse words, there aren't a plethora of gratuitous foul words. Oh, and if you were looking for a cliffhanger, you won't find that here either. While Down on Her Luck is a follow-up story to Some Lucky Woman, it is a stand-alone novel. Please proceed at your own risk. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marnye Young. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082979/bk_acx0_082979_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Creative Visualization Secrets: 7 Untold Remarkably Simple Steps to Manifest Your Dreams Using the Power of Creative Visualization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min
    Creative visualization is a process in which a person uses positive thoughts and expectations to bring about the fulfillment of desired goals or ambition. This process uses the concept of positive thinking and involves the use of all the senses - sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. It is a powerful tool that communicates a person's confidence and creates an impact to a person's internal and external environments. Various individuals can benefit from creative visualization - actors, athletes, corporate professionals, and even students - people from different ages, professions, and backgrounds can definitely make use of creative visualization to make achieving their dreams possible. Creative visualization techniques use the power of the mind. One of the things it does is enable a person to conquer and eliminate the fear of failure. The fear of failure prevents a person from giving his best efforts and stops him from showing assertiveness to achieve his goals. Fears tend to limit a person's capacity to succeed so that instead of being extraordinary, a person comes up with a mediocre and "safe" performance. Creative visualization offers no room for mediocrity, as it offers the individual an opportunity to visualize his success by going through the details of his plans and efforts. As a mental technique, creative visualization also enhances a person's desire and commitment to achieve. Since the technique embeds a good and positive image of success, a person who undergoes creative visualization experiences a strong sense of empowerment. It gives a person the confidence he needs to do what it takes to achieve his goals. It can be noticed that a lot of successful people today achieve success because of their unrelenting passion and belief in what they can do. Successful people are largely optimistic and have the discipline to continuously pursue their goals. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Gazy.

    One Million Steps: A Marine Platoon at War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    Battalion 3/5 suffered the highest number of casualties in the war in Afghanistan. This is the story of one platoon in that distinguished battalion. Aware of U.S. plans to withdraw from the country, knowing their efforts were only a footprint in the sand, the fifty Marines of 3rd Platoon fought in Sangin, the most dangerous district in all of Afghanistan. So heavy were the casualties that the Secretary of Defense offered to pull the Marines out. Instead, they pushed forward. Each Marine in 3rd Platoon patrolled two and a half miles a day for six months - a total of One Million Stepsin search of a ghostlike enemy that struck without warning. Why did the Marines attack and attack, day after day? Every day brought a new skirmish. Each footfall might trigger an IED. Half the Marines in 3rd Platoon didn’t make it intact to the end of the tour. One Million Steps is the story of the fifty brave men who faced these grim odds and refused to back down. Based on Bing West’s embeds with 3rd Platoon, as well as on their handwritten log, this is a gripping grunt’s-eye view of life on the front lines of America’s longest war. Writing with a combat veteran’s compassion for the fallen, West also offers a damning critique of the higher-ups who expected our warriors to act as nation-builders - and whose failed strategy put American lives at unnecessary risk. Each time a leader was struck down, another rose up to take his place. How does one man instill courage in another? What welded these men together as firmly as steel plates? This remarkable book is the story of warriors caught between a maddening, unrealistic strategy and their unswerving commitment to the fight. Fearsome, inspiring, and poignant in its telling, One Million Steps is sure to become a classic, a unique and enduring testament to the American warrior spirit. ungekürzt. Language: English.
