    A Peculiar Connection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 614min
    Will a mysterious note from the past doom the love of Jane Austen’s most beloved couple? A Peculiar Connection begins near the close of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Bent on preventing the engagement of her nephew to Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine de Bourgh declares that any union between Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth would be “a sin against Heaven itself!” Her shocking revelation, along with a cryptic message written over twenty years earlier, thrusts the couple into a whirlwind of heartbreak and disbelief. Could a deserted mansion in Derbyshire or a small church hidden in the wood hold the key to solving the puzzle? And why is Elizabeth inexplicably drawn to the portrait of three young boys in Pemberley’s gallery? Determined to confirm or refute Lady Catherine’s accusation, Darcy and Elizabeth are forced to embark upon a twisted trail into bygone days and family secrets. All the while, they must endure the exquisite torture of denying the indisputable desire that still hovers between them. From the award-winning author of An Arranged Marriage, The Journey, and The Secret Betrothal. ungekürzt.

    Socrates: The World of Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 150min
    Socrates was the first great philosopher of the West. Though he left no written works, there were many accounts of his life and philosophy. Socrates was an eccentric who went about Athens in bare feet and tattered clothes engaging people in philosophical conversations and exposing the contradictions in their claims of knowledge. Socrates himself never claimed definitive knowledge, but he made enemies among those he refuted and embarrassed with his persistent questioning. While deeply interested in self-knowledge and virtue, Socrates believed that we cannot definitively establish truth or absolute knowledge, that we can only refute wrong thinking. When he was sentenced to death for impiety, Socrates bravely accepted the rule of law rather than lie about his views. His methods have set timeless standards for the relentless pursuit of truth.The World of Philosophy series is a dramatic presentation, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall outlook of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynn Redgrave.

    The Scientific Worldview: Beyond Newton and Einstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 869min
    Discovering the nature of the Scientific Worldview is no easy task. It cannot be found by summing all scientific specialties, or by polling scientists and averaging the results. The Scientific Worldview, above all, must state its beginning assumptions clearly and from there attempt a coherent unification of the salient facts and a rigorous application of determinism to the world as a whole. It would not be in agreement with every interpretation advanced by every specialist. No explication of it would be accepted by all scientists. Throughout history, the idea that the universe is governed strictly on deterministic principles reappears embellished with a style and with facts reflecting the culture it addresses. Each time, efforts are made to refute it. Eventually it is suppressed, only to return stronger than before. Humanity today appears to lie at the threshold of physical destruction. Its survival will not be a miracle, but a result of the deterministic actions we will take to forge a new unity among all peoples. The time is ripe for a renaissance of determinism. ungekürzt.

    Fate is a Moreno Brothers spinoff series.... He ruled out attachments years ago. Then, one day he crosses paths with a beautiful but pampered daddy's little princess. History has taught him one thing about women like her - steer clear. She was starting over. She moved back to her home town, took a new job assignment, and left her past behind. For the first time in over 18 months, she's even intrigued by a man - a sexy but cold and indifferent drill sergeant. Despite feeling drawn to him, she has no time to figure out his inexplicable aversion to her. Then fate steps in one night, forcing them together. There's a connection neither can refute, and they both consider giving in to the undeniable attraction. Fate, however, can also be cruel. Just when they surrender to their heart's desires, past demons resurface in the most unexpected way, threatening the happiness neither realized they so desperately needed. New adult contemporary novel with mature content. Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations and language. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy Samuelson.

    The Bridge at Chappaquiddick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
    And on its surface, the Chappaquiddick Incident (as it has infamously become known) was a simple but tragic traffic accident. However, its political fallout caused it to become the most speculated-upon car accident until Princess Diana's fatal ride, some 28 years later: Was Kennedy drunk? Was he trying to conceal an affair by deliberately killing Kopechne? Why did he wait for so long before reporting the accident? And who else was involved? Olsen tells the tale with as much detail as was made available to him. Though there is apparently only a single living eye-witness to the accident (Kennedy himself, who described having the "sensation of drowning" on live television a week later), Olsen tracks down the incongruous statements made by others who were indirectly involved and comes to a potential conclusion which would be difficult to refute. There is no legal evidence of this conclusion, of course, but his alternate explanation of events turns much of the circumstantial evidence into a logic-of-sorts. And his presentation thereof causes one to reflect seriously on the nature of the official record of events as told through Kennedy's lips. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    More Thoughts and More Commentary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min
    This book is a follow up version of my previous book, Thoughts and Commentary, which covered a multitude of topics. This book is somewhat smaller but follows the theme of eclectic ideas and concerns. The hope is to reach a few hot buttons that listeners have identified and either substantiate or refute their views. I intend to continue to write essays and compile them into books as a retirement project to keep me mentally active and share my thoughts with those who have wondered and pondered about various topics.I have included among the essays a few poems that I think express my view of mankind and his challenges. This book has not addressed the phenomena of President Trump, which I think deserves a volume of its own. I hope the listener finds some interesting viewpoints to ponder and has ignited some thoughts that have up 'til now not been examined. It is the thinking listener that I seek not agreement necessarily but reflection and consideration. Those who find what I am trying to express pleasurable and interesting are my kind of listeners.

    Gossip and the Gospel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    The words of a gossip are like choice morsels... (Proverbs 18:8) We all know gossip is a sin, but gossip can also demonstrate that a church preaches the gospel. Every true church that belongs to Jesus will be gossiped about just as Jesus was labeled demonic and talked about. If we want the Holy Spirit to guide us to a church we should worship at, we must tune out the gossip in order to hear the voice of God. This book not only examines the sin of gossip and how it relates to the preaching of the gospel, but shows us how to refute it. From the Choice Morsel recipe, to an examination of bitter roots, this book exposes the sin of gossip and provides the reader with spiritual tools to survive tongues that drip deadly poison. A special dedication page allows you to ?ll in the name of someone you know who gossips. This will allow you to lovingly give it to them in hopes they will repent. For if we want to be perfect in Christ, we must tame the tongue. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Vance.

    globalization: n. the irrational fear that someone in China will take your job , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
    Most supporters and opponents of globalization accept as true certain key ideas that govern the terms of the debate. Globalization, they contend, is the single dominant force shaping the world's economies both today and into the future; an irresistible and growing part of economic reality. They see the fates of business, labor, and entire nations all determined by their ability to adapt to its dictates.These and other similar notions have become so completely accepted that they are now embraced as the conventional wisdom. In this book, the authors argue that these ideas are either largely false, or at best highly exaggerated.The book presents a very different position, based on a serious look at the history of globalization and a reader-friendly presentation of the economic data that dramatically refute the accepted truths advanced by so many of its commentators. Central arguments include: globalization is not a new phenomenon, but has grown and diminished throughout modern history; dealing with globalization requires local and specific rather than generic and global responses; and that as services come to dominate national economies, globalization will wane in importance. ungekürzt.

    Extraterrestrial Intervention: The Ancient Alien Evidence Science Cannot Explain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 289min
    Why are we constantly discovering objects that seem to come from vanished civilizations, though official science vehemently denies that any civilization could be as advanced as our own?Why does science refute the evidence that shows us the probability of extraterrestrial civilizations?Why are specimens of species of completely unknown animal forms totally dismissed? Why are visitations of strange phenomena shrugged off or relegated to the realm of the psychotic, when they often leave tangible evidence? Charles Fort challenged the "laws" of science long ago, and now this fascinating book, under the auspices of the International Fortean Organization (INFO), carries his work to completion, revealing with clarity and intelligence positive proof that forces do exist outside the sphere of ordinary perception and preconception.Covered are such topics as: People who burn up from spontaneous combustionA crescent-shaped craft of artificial origin found in the heart of a mountainA confrontation between police and a vampire terrorizing beach areasDinosaurs on the loose - againFrom mysterious objects at the bottom of the Atlantic to a 500,000-year-old spark plug to strange objects made from unknown materials, and countless other recorded happenings science cannot explain - it's all here in Extraterrestrial Intervention by noted French scientist, Jacques Bergier (author of Morning of the Magicians). ungekürzt.

    Darwin's Watch: The Science of Discworld III: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    The wizards discover to their cost that it's no easy task to change history. Roundworld is in trouble again, and this time it looks fatal. Having created it in the first place, the wizards of Unseen University feel vaguely responsible for its safety. They know the creatures that lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. But now it's all gone wrong - Victorian England has stagnated and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail. Unless something drastic is done, there won't be time for anyone to invent space flight, and the human race will be turned into ice-pops. Why, though, did history come adrift? Was it Sir Arthur Nightingale's dismal book about natural selection? Or was it the devastating response by an obscure country vicar called Charles Darwin, whose best-selling Theology of Species made it impossible to refute the divine design of living creatures? Can the God of Evolution come to humanity's aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book? And who stopped him writing it in the first place?  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Fenton Stevens, Stephen Briggs.
