    Digital Bodies
    This book explores technologies related to bodily interaction and creativity from a multi-disciplinary perspective. By taking such an approach, the collection offers a comprehensive view of digital technology research that both extends our notions of the body and creativity through a digital lens, and informs of the role of technology in practices central to the arts and humanities. Crucially, Digital Bodies foregrounds creativity, the interrogation of technologies and the notion of embodiment within the various disciplines of art, design, performance and social science. In doing so, it explores a potential or virtual new sense of the embodied self. This book will appeal to academics, practitioners and those with an interest in not only how digital technologies affect the body, but also how they can enhance human creativity.

    Blood Legacy
    Through the story of his own family's history as slave and plantation owners, Alex Renton looks at how we owe it to the present to understand the legacy of the past. When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Blood Legacy explores what inheritance - political, economic, moral and spiritual - has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved. He also asks, crucially, how the former - himself among them - can begin to make reparations for the past.

    The Infernal: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 713min
    In the early years of the Iraq War, a severely burned boy appears on a remote rock formation in the Akkad Valley. A shadowy, powerful group within the US government speculates: Who is he? Where did he come from? And, crucially, what does he know? In pursuit of that information, an interrogator is summoned from his prison cell, and a hideous and forgotten apparatus of torture, which extracts "perfect confessions", is retrieved from the vaults. Over the course of four days, a cavalcade of voices rises up from the Akkad boy, each one striving to tell his or her own story. Some of these voices are familiar: Osama bin Laden, L. Paul Bremer, Condoleezza Rice, Mark Zuckerberg. Others are less so. But each one has a role in the world shaped by the war on terror. Each wants to tell us: This is the world as it exists in our innermost selves. This is what has been and what might be. This is The Infernal. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Shah.

    The Book of Tides , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 197min
    This is an audiobook for those who want to understand better how the water surrounding us affects our daily lives, how it imperceptibly but crucially shapes our actions and has shaped our landscape for millennia.

    The Single Dad's Guide to the Galaxy: Parenting in the Real World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min
    I've experienced all the different roles you have to play when there's nobody else around: a parent, a dad, a father, a stand-in mom, a confidant, always a butler or maid, a teacher and, most crucially, a friend. In this enlightening, but also very practical, audiobook, Roger McEwan shares the lessons he's learned from years as a solo dad. It is not, he insists, a self-help guide. But among the rich, always fascinating, often hilarious experiences of his times with his two children, are dozens and dozens of useful pieces of advice for parents, from developing a great relationship with your ex if possible to letting the children pick the clothes they want to wear. Advice also includes teaching your children how to cook and to acknowledge that changing a toilet roll is too complex for anyone under the age of 18 to understand. This audiobook was made with the Audiobooks NZ self-record kit. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roger McEwan.

    Actress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    As a young actress in a long-running TV show, Mai Rose's career path seemed clear. But she wants more. Already she's dumped the show and landed a role in a serious play, with serious actors and a more-than-serious director. And now another opportunity has arisen – a major fantasy film with a role that seems tailor-made for her. The only problem being that she's in competition with four other scheming actresses to win the role. Can she win the part? Does she want to win the part? She has to navigate her way through the demands of the press, the Russian billionaire owner of the newspaper running the competition, boyfriends past and present, her soldier brother and a particularly ambitious (read: nasty) competitor. And all of them underestimate her. Building towards an enthralling climax, Actress examines one person's struggle to come to terms with who she is, what's important to her and – crucially – what she really wants. ungekürzt.

    A Macat Analysis of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    Philosopher Judith Butler's 1990 work, Gender Trouble, shook the foundations of feminist theory and changed the conversation about gender. While many thinkers already accepted that "gender" was a category constructed by society rather than defined by one's genitalia, Butler went further and argued that gender is performative - it exists only in the acts that express it. Society determines that wearing makeup is "feminine" - but some men wear makeup. Are they "women"? Following Butler's argument, they are if they say they are. Butler frees gender from the age-old binary construct and demonstrates that it is indefinable, at least by society. Butler's approach gives each of us the power to define our gender. A quarter century after its publication, Gender Trouble continues to be hugely influential in the field of feminism. Crucially important to the postmodern and poststructuralist strands of the field, it is also credited as being a foundational text in queer theory. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.

    Self-Hypnosis for Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression, Negative Thoughts: Great Sleep, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    This book presents the history and theory behind hypnosis and self-hypnosis for the management of psychophysical pain, as well as numerous experiential techniques and meditations. Learning to better manage physical and emotional pain means gaining control over many psychophysiological processes that are usually governed by the autonomic nervous system and, crucially, learning to guide one's mind rather than being dominated by it. To do this in a truly effective way, in addition to being able to communicate with the unconscious, it is also necessary to have notions of meditation, and this is what this book proposes: to allow everyone to autonomously transform malaise into well-being. The book is divided into nine chapters to guide the listener through numerous practical exercises, from the first steps to the approaches of the most experienced therapists and teachers in the field of hypnosis, psycho-body rebalancing and meditation. The work offers ideas for a concrete transformation that can be translated into new attitudes, for a healthier and more conscious lifestyle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Streetpoet.
