    There is an upheaval happening in brain science. In the not-so-distant past, it was imagined that the brain you were brought into the world with was the brain you would bite the dust with, and that the brain cells you had during childbirth were the maximum number you could ever have.The brain was believed to be designed to work in foreordained manners. Incidentally, this is false. The brain isn't designed; it's "delicate wired" by experience. It has been a typical conviction that our qualities direct our contemplation, feelings, and conduct.All through the 1980s and the 1990s, the press was loaded up with stories on how hereditary qualities foreordain all that we experience. There were, additionally, anecdotes about indistinguishable twins who were raised separated, yet who, by and by, had a similar mannerisms or supported a similar shading. Mainstream society considered these to be as proof of the intensity of hereditary designing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathan Conkey.

    Their love was so strong it reached across the ages. Now it just might kill them. Lucy Channing is back in her time of 1815, where she's engaged to her childhood friend, the handsome Dashel Rothchild, 7th Earl of Westington. He's incredibly sweet, a complete gentleman, and not the man Lucy loves. But that's the least of her problems.  The Egyptian God of Chaos and the irritating Moon Goddess have taken a special interest in Lucy and Will, the man she's actually in love with (and incidentally is from the 21st century). One God appears to be trying to help while the other wants them dead. It seems Will and Lucy's love is destined to end in blood or at least eternal separation.  There is a sliver of hope. Will and Lucy must find the other half of Lucy's time travel amulet and put the pieces together. It shouldn't be too difficult, especially with the help of her betrothed, her lady's maid, and the strange Duke of Vladimir. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie-Ann Amos.

    In the front room of the house with two front doors, Watson Conqruent's father sells souvenirs from the long-canceled TV show, The Adventures of Captain Conquer. In the back room, his father is building a "motivator" like the one that powered the Captain's huge stratoship, the Great Auk. And out front, a mysterious excavation grows larger every day, under the direction of the sinister Charlesville Planning Commissioners. Then one day, Watson comes home from school, only to find both house and father vanished. As the Captain would say, "It's time to throw out the interlocks!" With the help of a troop of eccentric Captain Conquer fans, including a man who claims to have 40 pounds of brains in his nose, Watson sets out to find his father - and not so incidentally, to rescue the Earth from alien creatures who want to turn our atmosphere into something that is almost exactly like (or not quite the same as) cold cherry Jell-O! No one can save the world - until The Return of Captain Conquer! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jesse Bernstein.

    For centuries we've believed that work was where you learned discipline, initiative, honesty, self-reliance - in a word, character. A job was also, and not incidentally, the source of your income: if you didn't work, you didn't eat, or else you were stealing from someone. If only you worked hard, you could earn your way and maybe even make something of yourself. In recent decades, through everyday experience, these beliefs have proven spectacularly false. In this book, James Livingston explains how and why Americans still cling to work as a solution rather than a problem - why it is that both liberals and conservatives announce that "full employment" is their goal when job creation is no longer a feasible solution for any problem, moral or economic. The result is a witty, stirring denunciation of the ways we think about why we labor, exhorting us to imagine a new way of finding meaning, character, and sustenance beyond our workaday world - and showing us that we can afford to leave that world behind. ungekürzt.

    Charley Rabbit is a mentally disabled young man who lives quietly with his widowed mother Mitzi in the American Midwest - but not for long! Charley develops a rapid intellectual growth spurt after being bitten by a vampire. Fressenda and her fraternal twin brothers Cass (Castor) and Lux (Pollux) take an interest in Charley and Mitzi and become part of their extended family, but Mitzi is wary and senses that the changes in Charley may be part of something mysterious, dark and sinister. In the meantime, she is offered something she didn't believe was possible - a clandestine relationship with a younger, and incidentally immortal, male. The ensuing connection that Charley and his mom develop with V-net vampires, (a brilliantly organized organization that has piggybacked on the existing infrastructure in the U.S), an ancient family history and a dangerous and wily adversary, the Vampire Lord Adrastos puts both their lives and their new relationships at risk and takes them to some of the most remote locales on the planet. ungekürzt.

    This volume is the first of a series of studies of the inner life, the main purpose of which is twofold. The point of approach is from the side of practical experience, and the first object is the development of a practical method. But incidentally, it is hoped that the facts and values of this practical study may be of service to philosophy. In fact, the production of these volumes was begun with the conviction that philosophy and life may be brought nearer, that practical interests put new demands upon philosophy; while the practical man may be greatly benefited by the study of idealistic first principles. Hence, the point of view is midway between the world of exact thinking and the world of actual living. The interest is not primarily psychological, nor is it ethical or religious. Yet, all of these interests play a part. That is to say, aside from one's particular faith, there seems to be a demand for a new science and a new art: the art and science of the inner life investigated in the freest spirit without regard to specific doctrines. ungekürzt.

    Sure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the dragon. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure. But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes they're clueless. Sometimes beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes they don't actually want to eat your children. Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller (at least, to hear her tell it), is here to set the record straight. See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she finally able to tell the real story - for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat. Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments - things are going to get messy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Haley Catherine.

    Private investigator to the stars Riley Fitzhugh finds himself caught up in the case of a missing Hollywood beauty - and a stolen Monet - in a 1930s hard-boiled caper as deadly as it is delightful. Hollywood, 1934. Prohibition is finally over, but there is still plenty of crime for an ambitious young private eye to investigate. Though he has a slightly checkered past, Riley Fitzhugh is well connected in the film industry and is hired by a major producer - whose lovely girlfriend has disappeared. He is also hired to recover a stolen Monet, a crime that results in two murders... with more to come. Along the way Riley investigates the gambling ships anchored off LA, gets involved with the girlfriend of the gangster running one of the ships, disposes of the body of a would-be actor who assaults Riley's girlfriend, and meets an elegant English art history professor from UCLA who helps him authenticate several paintings. Living at the Garden of Allah Hotel, Riley meets and assists many Hollywood screenwriters who frequent the hotel bar. Incidentally one of these gents, whose nom de plume is Hobey Baker, might actually be F. Scott Fitzgerald. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Pasqualini.

    Introducing Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones... Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake. The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep is Tanner's first adventure. It finds our insomniacal hero on a mission to recover a hoard of gold coins, stashed 50 years ago in a house in Balekesir by the city's Armenian community. Promptly jailed by the Turks, Tanner escapes and plays hopscotch across the map of Europe, pulling strings, slipping across borders, and, almost incidentally, fomenting a revolution in Macedonia. Well, these things happen... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/081865/bk_acx0_081865_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
