Rise of the Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min

Rise of the Dead is a zombie novel with a lot of guts that aims for the brain, blending literary fiction with post-apocalyptic thrills. Blake was never one for taking chances. He lived in a world of formulas and equations. A statistician in a controlled society where everything had become predictably mundane. That world disappeared the day the dead got up and began attacking the living. Now, the end is here. Blake finds himself fighting for his life in a world that is rapidly spiraling out of control. He struggles to keep himself alive and must risk everything to find his family. Along the way, Blake finds himself thrust among other unlikely survivors. Together they must adapt to the realities of the undead world, or join the legion of zombies. The characters must overcome their conditioned human apathy and come together if they have any chance of survival. Rise of the Dead chronicles the first moments of the zombie apocalypse. While the story is a fast-paced thrill ride through an ever-growing zombie horde, the novel aims to draw upon familiar themes as those found in the Romero classic films. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Woman Walking Ahead: In Search of Catherine Weldon and Sitting Bull , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 954min

This book restores a little-known advocate of Indian rights to her place in history. In June 1889 a widowed Brooklyn artist named Catherine Weldon traveled to the Standing Rock Reservation in Dakota Territory to help Sitting Bull hold on to land that the government was trying to wrest from his people. Her efforts were counterproductive; she was ordered to leave the reservation, and the Standing Rock Sioux were bullied into signing away their land. But she returned with her teenage son, settling at Sitting Bull's camp on the Grand River. In recognition of her unusual qualities, Sitting Bull's people called her Toka heya mani win, Woman Walking Ahead. Predictably, the press vilified Weldon, calling her "Sitting Bull's white squaw" and accusing her of inciting Sitting Bull to join the Ghost Dance religion then sweeping the West. In fact Weldon opposed the movement, arguing that the army would use the Ghost dance as an excuse to jail or kill Sitting Bull. Unfortunately she was right. Up to now history has distorted and largely overlooked Weldon's story. In retracing Weldon's steps, Eileen Pollack recovers her life and compares her world to our own. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The (Honest) Truth about Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Especially Ourselves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min

Fascinating and provocative, Dan Ariely’s The (Honest) Truth about Dishonesty is an insightful and brilliantly researched take on cheating, deception, and willpower. The internationally best-selling author pulls no punches when it comes to home truths. His previous titles Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality have become classics in their field, revealing unexpected and astonishing traits that run through modern humankind. Now acclaimed behavioural economist Dan Ariely delves deeper into the dark and murky recesses of contemporary psychology, daring to ask the big questions: What makes us cheat? How and why do we rationalise deception of ourselves and other people, and make ourselves ‘wishfully blind’ to the blindingly obvious? What affects our infuriatingly intangible willpower and how can we ‘catch’ the cheating bug from other bad apples? If you’ve ever wondered how a whole company can turn a blind eye to evident misdemeanours within their ranks, whether people are born dishonest, and whether you can really be successful by being totally, brutally honest, then this audiobook is for you. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Jones.

Out of Spite, Out of Mind: Magic 2.0, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything. Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self. Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all. In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luke Daniels.

The Art of Happiness, Peace, & Purpose: Manifesting Magic Part 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min

Manifesting Magic is a seven-part course designed to positively reshape and realign the direction of your life. We started this journey, somewhat predictably with money and wealth attainment. It was certainly not because the accumulation of money can ever be our highest achievement, but rather because wanting more wealth is more often than not the natural starting point for most people who are seeking "something better". If you started this journey with a similar mindset, I want you to be reassured that this doesn't make you greedy, predictable, or any other negative label you care to name. It's natural for us to witness other people "appearing" to be better off with it than us and come to the conclusion that it's our financial handicap that creates such struggle in life. In part three of this audiobook, we really start to craft the life you've always dreamed of. Everything you have manifested to date is going to pale in significance with the knowledge you are about to receive. Your every interaction with all those who surround you is about to change for the better. Personal, professional, and even family relationships are about to go through a dramatic paradigm shift. What happens next will blow you mind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig Beck. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/042805/bk_acx0_042805_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Men of Conviction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min

In Men of Conviction, Lionel Ross tells the fascinating tale of three desperate and disparate young men, released from prison on the same day. They are Hussein, the Islamist preacher of Jihad; Wayne, the burglar and Dovid, the religious Jew and 'one offence fraudster'. Men of Conviction is their story over the ensuing ten years. Hussein, predictably, builds a shadowy Jihadist organisation with the intention, through terrorism, of creating the Caliphate of Britannia under Shari'a law. Wayne is determined to change his life and almost accidently finds himself the owner of a chain of Massage Parlours. By his previous standards, this is the path to wealth and respectability! Dovid, on the other hand, with the aid of his wealthy grandfather, becomes a successful property developer.The action takes place in such contrasting locations as 21st century Manchester, Istanbul, Afghanistan, Belfast and a mysterious breakaway Islamic republic. The contemporary background to the plots, ensures the airing of such issues as Islamist and Irish terrorism, religious intolerance and drug trading. The main characters are easily recognised as typical members of today's British multi-cultural society. As the cataclysmic ending approaches, the paths of the three main characters are destined to cross again in an epic and amazing ending. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Jubb.

How to Screw Up Your Marriage: Do-Over Tips for First-Time Failures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min

Let's face it. People keep getting married. Yet over 40% of first marriages end in divorce and up to 67% of second do, too, with statistics becoming predictably more dismal as the number of trips to the altar rack up. It seems like, for many of us, the longing to be half of a couple so in love they make other people want to puke is too strong to ignore. The problem is, we've all grown up to expect that fairytale endings happen by accident, that if we wish upon a star, or let down our golden hair, then, blammo, we'll get our happily ever after. In other words, we're lazy and feel entitled to have the one thing we want most in the world - the one thing we should work hardest to create and nurture - without doing squat to make our dreams reality. We fall in love, we marry, we pout, we nag, we sulk, and we sabotage. How to Screw Up Your Marriage interrupts the pity party with a no-nonsense formula for couplehood success, written by a human relations expert who is herself in a wonderfully nauseating marriage with a passel of his and hers kids. 2nd Place, 2012 Houston Writers Guild Narrative Nonfiction Manuscript Contest. ungekürzt.
