    The Unexpected Truth About Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
    Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Unexpected Truth About Animals, written and read by Lucy Cooke. History is full of strange animal stories, invented by the brightest and most influential, from Aristotle to Disney, and they reveal as much about us and the things we believe as they do about the animals they misrepresent. We once thought that eels were born from sand, that swallows hibernated underwater, and that bears gave birth to formless lumps that were licked into shape by their mothers. Zoologist Lucy Cooke unravels many such myths, revealing the facts she's uncovered while sniffing out vultures, snooping on sloths and stalking drunk moose. The Unexpected Truth About Animals is in equal parts astonishing, illuminating and laugh-out-loud funny. Starring: feminist hyenas, perverted penguins, exploding bats and frogs in taffeta trousers.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Cooke. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/002857/bk_rhuk_002857_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    During an early morning feeding for her four-month-old twins, Meg Langslow hears an odd noise and goes downstairs to find her living room filled with dozens of animals - cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, and a stunningly foul-mouthed macaw. She soon learns that financial woes have caused the local animal shelter to repeal its no-kill policy. Her kind-hearted father, her zoologist grandfather, and other like-minded citizens have stolen all the shelter animals, both as a gesture of protest and to protect them until the hated policy can be repealed. But the volunteer who was transporting animals to new homes has been murdered. Was it the victim's tangled love life that drove someone to murder? Or the dark secrets behind local politics? And will Meg ever succeed in finding homes for all the animals that have landed in her life? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernadette Dunne.

    The Unexpected Truth About Animals
    Shortlisted for the 2018 Royal Society Investment Science Book Prize'Endlessly fascinating.' - Bill Bryson 'Eye-opening, informative and very funny!' - Chris Packham'Well-informed and downright funny' - Richard DawkinsHistory is full of strange animal stories invented by the brightest and most influential, from Aristotle to Disney. But when it comes to understanding animals, we've got a long way to go. Whether we're watching a viral video of romping baby pandas or looking at a picture of penguins 'holding hands', we often project our own values - innocence, abstinence, hard work - onto animals. So you've probably never considered that moose get drunk and that penguins are notorious cheats. In The Unexpected Truth About Animals Zoologist Lucy unravels many such myths - that eels are born from sand, that swallows hibernate under water, and that bears gave birth to formless lumps that are licked into shape by their mothers - to show that the stories we create reveal as much about us as they do about the animals. Astonishing, illuminating and laugh-out-loud funny.

    Conservation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    Conservation has spent the past four decades leading humanity out among the stars. In 2034, the Universal Mining Agency launched a ship full of eager potential colonists. Conservation provides its passengers with everything they need as it sets off for their new home on a distant, habitable planet. As the decades go by, the optimism and hope that surrounded its launch dissipate, and certain members of agency staff begin to have their doubts about the project. Conservation was meant to be a microcosm of humanity, minus the cruelty and ill health. Society has degraded into a violent, fascist regime built on slavery and famine, but this time, things were supposed to be different. Zoologist David Kingston, who consulted on the original mission, becomes more and more anxious about the fate of the ship. A direct video call with a strange crewmember does nothing to quell his worry. Instead, David realizes that there may be something evil aboard the huge vessel. Then, suddenly, everything goes dark. Conservation stops transmitting reports. As David investigates the mysteries of the famous ship, he will discover the horrifying truth about its journey. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Keel's Pursuing the Addenda: Supernatural Reports from the Natural World is an entertaining survey of anomalous "Fortean" events such as UFOs, "Fafrotskies" (things that fall from the sky), enigmatic monuments and relics, historical oddities, strange creatures, scientific mysteries, and psychic phenomena. Since the beginning of recorded time, mankind has been plagued by unknown forces and beings, which Keel brings into chilling focus. Here you will find authentic reports on a wide variety of subjects, some of which may shock or even frighten you. Are we being invaded from outer space? Are secret agencies tapping your phone, computer, and mail? Could an unseen, pre-human race be watching us from their secret hiding places, manipulating and misleading us for sheer entertainment? With sharp wit and unique insight, Keel provides explanations for the unusual things he recounts that have long left others baffled. In this mountain of way-out evidence, he sees a pattern and draws original, startling, and convincing conclusions. This special edition features an editor's note by zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson, Keel's mentor and editor of Pursuit Magazine - where most of these articles originally appeared. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gordon MacCathay.
