  Black Blood: A Steampunk Tale of Horror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min

  What happens when a pursuer can’t be outdistanced, can’t be misled, and can’t be killed. Lark, a city scout, must confront those questions when the demonic creation of the dark scientist Baer Bore sets his sights on him. Can steam and powder overcome the flesh of a hound that cannot die? N. Jacob Wright’s brilliant pacing and steampunk sensibilities make this tale as intriguing as it is horrifying. Why the beast had chosen him and his horse the scout didn’t know. He knew only that like those before him the beast could not be killed by even the most well placed of shots. His only hope was that the metal wonder he rode could outdistance the flesh and bones of his pursuer and that he could make sure the trail stayed cold once it had been lost. “Easy does it girl. “ Smoke billowed from the nostrils of the creature as each hoof ricocheted with a loud ting off the rocks it galloped on. That was something he always loved about this model and that had drawn him to purchase it the moment it was available. The smoke from its nose was so impending, so final. It made him feel like every search across the crags was on a mission that had to be completed at any cost, that lives hung in the balance, that all would be lost if he didn’t report back at the base in time. He smiled ruefully and watched his hands swivel with the joystick to keep the horse in a steady line. “Just a bit more girl.” He had to make it through to the gate that blocked the wildlife here from the rest of the world. This time, at least one life really did hang in the balance. The horse snorted again, letting out more steam so that it could stabilize the pressure at its core. Lark knew the pressure skyrocketed from the running, and he grinned with pride. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.

  Painless Fast Metabolism Diet Recipes for Lazy People: 50 Surprisingly Simple Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook Recipes Even Your Lazy Ass Can Cook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min

  Are you on a fast metabolism diet and too lazy to cook? This recipe book contains 50 surprisingly simple fast metabolism diet recipes that you can prepare and cook in the same afternoon. In other words, they are so simple that even your lazy ass can cook them! If you have done low-calorie diets and abandoned them later, you will understand the limitations of this diet. You are always starving, making your body conserve fats. Unknown to you, you are also not taking in foods that cause inflammation. This slows your bowel movements and, at the same time, causes insulin resistance. During an anti-inflammatory diet, there are three phases, which use your body's food-burning capabilities. You are expected to eat a lot more than during other diets. It is recommended that you eat three full meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and a minimum of two snacks every day. There is no calorie counting or avoiding any food groups. The idea is to eat different varieties of foods to keep your body burning foods at different speeds: In phase one, designed for Mondays and Tuesdays, you will eat a lot of fruits and carbs. In phase two, designed for Wednesdays and Thursdays, you will take in a lot of proteins and vegetables. In phase three, from Fridays to Sundays, you will take in a lot of foods from phases one and two, plus oils and fats. At the end of four weeks, you will notice that you have lost some weight, your energy level will have skyrocketed, you will sleep better, and you will have less stress. This cookbook is written as a complement to The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy. For further listening, I recommend you download this book as well. The recipes are designed so that you can mix and match them according to your preferences. Do not think that you have sacrificed your enjoyment of food by giving up meals. ungekürzt.

  A good friend introduced me to the amazing health-giving powers of this one-of-kind fungus when my health had hit rock bottom. I was diagnosed with the same type of cancer my mother died of when she was only 56. I received my diagnosis when I was 55-and-a-half years old - almost to the day.I froze for a moment at what I may be facing. What if I only had six months to live?I need to tell you right now, I did not abandon modern conventional treatment, but I tailored other “treatments” to suit my needs and my beliefs, and the Chaga mushroom was high on the list. I meditated and visualized. But frankly, until I discovered the Chaga mushroom, it didn’t seem like my health improved much.Of course, I was skeptical of all the natural health powers it allegedly possessed. Of course, I didn’t run out to buy Chaga immediately. Even when my research was completed, I still hesitated trying it. I’m not sure what the exact moment was that tipped me into putting it into my newfound health routine. All I know is I did, and I haven’t looked back or regretted a single minute of it. Now, after surpassing my mom’s lifespan by seven years, I owe it to everyone facing any type of health problem today to spread the good news about Chaga.Don’t worry, this audiobook is not about me or my life story. Instead, I wanted to share my finding of this amazing healing mushroom’s benefits with you so many may benefit from this audiobook.At first glance, you’ll be skeptical. Most individuals are, even when they’re told of the diverse health benefits from regulating glucose levels and lowering cholesterol to helping control and maybe even prevent cancer.My story isn’t unique. In the seven years I’ve been using it, the mushroom’s availability has skyrocketed. If you decide after listening to this audiobook you may like to give it a try, your search for the form of the supplement will be easy.In this audiobook, I’ll describe the fungus for you and why i ungekürzt.

  The Oil Kings: How the U.S., Iran, and Saudi Arabia Changed the Balance of Power in the Middle East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1186min

  Struggling with a recession... European nations at risk of defaulting on their loans... A possible global financial crisis. It happened before, in the 1970s. The Oil Kings is the story of how oil came to dominate U.S. domestic and international affairs. As Richard Nixon fought off Watergate inquiries in 1973, the U.S. economy reacted to an oil shortage initiated by Arab nations in retaliation for American support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli war. The price of oil skyrocketed, causing serious inflation. One man the U.S. could rely on in the Middle East was the Shah of Iran, a loyal ally whose grand ambitions had made him a leading customer for American weapons. Iran sold the U.S. oil; the U.S. sold Iran missiles and fighter jets. But the Shah's economy depended almost entirely on oil, and the U.S. economy could not tolerate annual double-digit increases in the price of this essential commodity. European economies were hit even harder by the soaring oil prices, and several NATO allies were at risk of default on their debt. In 1976, with the U.S. economy in peril, President Gerald Ford, locked in a tight election race, decided he had to find a country that would sell oil to the U.S. more cheaply and break the OPEC monopoly, which the Shah refused to do. On the advice of Treasury Secretary William Simon and against the advice of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Ford made a deal to sell advanced weaponry to the Saudis in exchange for a modest price hike on oil. Ford lost the election, but the deal had lasting consequences. The Shah's economy was destabilized, and disaffected elements in Iran mobilized to overthrow him. The U.S. had embarked on a long relationship with the autocratic Saudi kingdom that continues to this day. Andrew Scott Cooper draws on newly declassified documents and interviews with some key figures of the time to show how Nixon, Ford, Kissinger, the CIA, and the State and Treasury departments - as w ungekürzt.

  Ohio , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 971min

  The debut of a major talent, a lyrical and emotional novel set in an archetypal small town in northeastern Ohio - a region ravaged by the Great Recession, an opioid crisis, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - depicting one feverish, fateful summer night in 2013 when four former classmates converge on their hometown, each with a mission, all haunted by the ghosts of their shared histories. Since the turn of the century, a generation has come of age knowing only war, recession, political gridlock, racial hostility, and a simmering fear of environmental calamity. In the country’s forgotten pockets, where industry long ago fled, where foreclosures, Walmarts, and opiates riddle the land, death rates for rural whites have skyrocketed, fueled by suicide, addiction, and a rampant sense of marginalization and disillusionment. This is the world the characters in Stephen Markley’s brilliant debut novel, Ohio, inherit. This is New Canaan. On one fateful summer night in 2013, four former classmates converge on the rust belt town where they grew up, each of them with a mission, all of them haunted by regrets, secrets, lost loves. There’s Bill Ashcraft, an alcoholic, drug-abusing activist whose fruitless ambitions have taken him from Cambodia to Zuccotti Park to New Orleans, and now back to “The Cane” with a mysterious package strapped to the underside of his truck; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate reluctantly confronting the mother of her former lover; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran of three tours in Iraq, home for a dinner date with the high school sweetheart he’s tried to forget; and the beautiful, fragile Tina Ross, whose rendezvous with the captain of the football team triggers the novel’s shocking climax. At once a murder mystery and a social critique, Ohio ingeniously captures the fractured zeitgeist of a nation through the viewfinder of an embattled Midwestern town and offers a prescient vision for America at the dawn of a turbulent new ungekürzt.

  Jane Fonda: In Her Own Words (eBook, ePUB)

  Get inside the head of Jane Fonda: actress, political activist, environmentalist, philanthropist, and creator of an unlikely fitness empire that captivated the country beginning in the 1980s. This collection of quotes has been curated from Jane Fonda's numerous public statements-interviews, books, social media posts, television appearances, and more. It's a comprehensive picture of her legacy and her impact on American popular culture. Fonda began her career in the public eye as a model before taking up acting and bursting onto the scene as a stage actress in New York in the 1950s. She transitioned to film work in the 60s and skyrocketed to global prominence through her performance as the title character in Barbarella (1968). While she continued to headline in major motion pictures through the 70s and into the 80s, she became just as well known for the political activism she pursued in the late 60s and early 70s, most notably in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era. In an effort to fund some of her activist efforts, she launched a second career in fitness. Fonda built a multi-million dollar aerobics exercise empire, starting with the release of Jane Fonda's Workout Book (1981), which was a national bestseller, and quickly followed by her popular exercise video, Jane Fonda's Workout, which was the top-selling VHS tape for a number of years. She went on to film more than 20 other workout videos, which collectively sold more than 17 million copies worldwide. She took a brief hiatus from acting throughout the 90s, during which time she founded several philanthropic organizations, including the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power and Potential, the Fonda Family Foundation, and the Jane Fonda Foundation. Her foundations make charitable donations to a number of causes including reproductive services, education, human services, and the environment. Fonda eventually returned to acting in the early 2000s, capturing a new generation of fans through her work in film and on popular television series including The Newsroom and the contemporary Netflix hit series Grace and Frankie. She has continued to do activist work, particularly in opposing the Iraq War and supporting environmental causes. Now, for the first time, you can find Jane Fonda's most inspirational, thought-provoking quotes in one place.

  Last Chance Texaco

  * RLJ skyrocketed to fame overnight after her performance of "Chuck E's in Love" on Saturday Night Live. Chuck E went on to top the US Billboard Hot 100 at #4 and RLJ was dubbed the "Duchess of Coolsville" by Time magazine * Other iconic hits include Young Blood (US #40), and The Horses (which featured in Jerry Maguire). RLJ has been featured twice on the cover of Rolling Stone and been profiled in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Mojo Magazine among others, and was listed at number 30 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Rock & Roll * This is no holds barred account of the life of one of rock's hardest working women in her own words; from her nomadic childhood as the granddaughter of vaudevillian performers, her father's abandonment and her years as a teenage runaway, her beginnings at the Troubador club and the 70s LA jazz pop scene, her tumultuous (and private) relationship with Tom Waits, her overnight rise to stardom after performing Chuck E on Saturday Night Live, her battle with drugs, and longevity as a woman in rock * Beautiful, untold account of her relationship with Tom Waits: "Tom Waits and I were like Mary Astor and Humphrey Bogart in Across the Pacific. We found ourselves alone on a steamer headed to some port or another; it didn't matter to us. He was a worn and troubled traveler from another life, and I was an innocent and mysterious impulse, a woman out of place, holding my ground, beat for beat. I was only his..." * Details with candor the misogynist "boys club" world of rock and her life as a strong woman and mother in it. Brilliant anecdotes about the industry including her collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Dr John, Lyle Lovett, and Steely Dan to name but a few * She is one of few women performers of her generation-including Bonnie Rait and Emmylou Harris-who still works, tours, and releases new material. She inspired and paved the way for artists such as Sheryl Crow, Susanne Vega, Tori Amos, and Jewel to follow * Will appeal to fans of music memoirs like Patti Smith's Just Kids, Bob Dylan's Chronicles, Keith Richard's Life, Carly Simon's Boys in the Trees, Rodney Crowell's Chinaberry Sidewalks, and Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run

  Die zweifache Grammy-Preisträgerin, die US-amerikanische Singer-Songwriterin, Sängerin, Gitarristin und Pianistin Rickie Lee Jones prägte einen neuartigen und oft kopierten Stil des Song-Arrangements. Schon auf frühen Album spielte sie bereits mit Größen wie Dr. John, Randy Newman oder Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers). Auf "Kicks" präsentiert die charismatische Ex-Partnerin von Tom Waits Coverversionen von Liedern aus dem sog.
