  Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition, Hörbuch, Digital, 215min

  To understand the news, the context of world geography and history is essential. That is why The Onion is publishing an audio world atlas: to help us. News that now makes no sense will now make sense; thus a new age of enlightenment. Our Dumb World contains news and historic facts from other nations, historic timelines for countries, and the earth broken down and described (from its molten core to the outermost sphere and the location of heaven), as well as demographic, economic, and other data about each country's people, industries, and habits. Every country is categorized in a number of ways, including ethnic cleanliness, level of Bono activity, prop comedians per 1,000 live birds, yearly income in wide-screen televisions, the monkeys they got, where it sees itself in five years, average skin color, benefits of invading said country, and most annoying handicrafts. Framed with informative essays and written by the full Onion staff, Our Dumb World is the first original Onion audiobook in eight years: a gut-busting send-up in which no nation escapes unscathed. Language: English. Narrator: full cast. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hach/000079/bk_hach_000079_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Matter to Mind to Consciousness: Anatomy of the E.L.F. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min

  In Matter to Mind to Consciousness, Lee Baumann, MD, transforms how you have always viewed conscious thought. Through his continued pursuit of science - now to the level of the human brain - Baumann demonstrates both our mind's contributions and vulnerability to the electromagnetic medium surrounding us.  Most nerve cells in the outermost layers of the brain end blindly, without any continuing nerve connections. Baumann investigates the possibilities underlying this peculiar medical observation and suggests that these neurons are the very beacons of our human awareness and consciousness. Join the author on a journey into the mystical realm of electromagnetism and the proven phenomena which allow our infinitesimally weak brainwaves to radiate into space and circle the globe several times over. For the first time, an explanation exists, not only for paranormal phenomena, but also for our own human awareness and thought. Again, Dr. Baumann proves that reality is stranger than fiction.  OF SPECIAL NOTE: All proceeds from Dr. Baumann's books go to support his "God at the Speed of Light" college scholarship endowments throughout the southeastern United States and South Africa. ungekürzt.

  Sports from Hell: My Search for the World's Dumbest Competition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min

  The most popular sports columnist in America puts his life (and dignity) on the line in search of the most absurd sporting event on the planet.What is the stupidest sport in the world? Not content to pontificate from the sidelines, Rick Reilly set out on a global journeywith stops in Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, England, and even a maximum security prison at Angola, Louisiana, to discover the answer to this enduring question.From the physically and mentally taxing sport of chess boxing to the psychological battlefield that is the rock-paper-scissors championship, to the underground world of illegal jart throwing, to several competitions that involve nudity, Reilly, in his valiant quest, subjected himself to both bodily danger and abject humiliation (or, in the case of ferret legging, both).These fringe sports offer their participants a chance to earn a few bucks and achieve the eternal glory that is winning - even when the victory in question might strike some as pointless, like the ability to sit in an oven-hot sauna for the longest time. It's debatable whether these sports push the body or just human idiocy to the outermost limits, but one thing is for sure: Sports in Hell is laugh-out-loud hilarious and will deliver plenty of unabashed fun. ungekürzt.

  Empire of Guns: The Violent Making of the Industrial Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1181min

  We have long understood the Industrial Revolution as a triumphant story of innovation and technology. Empire of Guns is a rich and ambitious new book by award-winning historian Priya Satia, which upends this conventional wisdom by placing war and Britain’s prosperous gun trade at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and the state’s imperial expansion.  Satia brings to life this bustling industrial society with the story of a scandal: Samuel Galton of Birmingham, one of Britain’s most prominent gun makers, was condemned by his fellow Quakers that his profession violated their pacifist principles. In his fervent self-defence, Galton argued that the state’s heavy reliance on industry for all of its war needs meant that every member of the British industrial economy is implicated in Britain’s near-constant state of war.  Empire of Guns uses the story of Galton and the gun trade across the outermost edges of the British empire to illuminate the nation’s emergence as a global superpower, the roots of the state’s role in economic development, and the origins of our era’s debates about gun control and the 'military-industrial complex' - that thorny partnership of government, the economy, and the military. Through Satia’s eyes, we acquire a radically new understanding of this critical historical moment and all that followed from it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tania Rodrigues.
