45: A Portrait of My Knucklehead Brother Jeb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 142min

An irreverent take on the national best seller 41: A Portrait of My Father by George W. Bush, 45 is a no-holds-barred tell-all written in the voice of former president George W. Bush as he stumps for his brother, Jeb - perhaps doing more harm than good. In 45: A Portrait of My Knucklehead Brother Jeb, George W. Bush takes listeners on a journey through his "butt-faced kid brother's" life, detailing the experiences that forged his presidential character and, in his own plainspoken and sometimes even comprehensible style, showing us why the younger Bush should be the next leader of the free world. And while he definitely wants Jeb to be commander-in-chief, he just can't stop razzing him either. 45 is the most hilarious (and backhanded) presidential endorsement you've ever listened to - a true literary noogie from one brother to another. ungekürzt.

Grilled is the next volume in the Facile Restaurant series of 10 short stories. Each story focuses on a different couple. Delia Montgomery is on the worst date in the history of dates.

Between the backhanded compliments and "helpful" suggestions, Delia is seriously considering tunneling her way through the floor of Facile with a shrimp fork. Enter their waiter, Byron, who is immediately smitten with the gorgeous victim of an Internet date gone awry.

Car Talk, Richard, His Goats, and Doris, August 8, 2009, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min

On this week's encore edition of Car Talk, goat rescuer Richard is having a problem with his 4-legged tenants. They're fond of climbing onto cars--especially the one that belongs to Richard's friend Doris. So Richard's considering a mild form of shock therapy. (On the goats, mind you.) Will his plan get the Click and Clack stamp of approval? Meanwhile, Heather in Washington State is planning a cross-country drive to Maine in an '85 Subaru that's dieseling, shifting poorly, and making a mysterious, "clunk" sound. Is she really interested in fixing it, or is she just looking for allies to help convince her folks to buy her a new ride? Also, a listener's incredibly backhanded plea for civility from his fellow Car Talk hate-mailers, a Mazda owner wonders if dry ice can help de-dentify his car, and we hear the tale of the night Tommy drove on three wheels. All this and more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: August 8, 2009] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min

This practical, accessible, nonjudgmental book is the first to help individuals and organizations recognize and prevent microaggressions so that all employees can feel a sense of belonging in their workplace. Our workplace and society are growing more diverse, but are we supporting inclusive cultures? While overt racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are relatively easy to spot, we cannot neglect the subtler everyday actions that normalize exclusion. Many have heard the term microaggression, but not everyone fully understands what they are or how to recognize them and stop them from happening.In this book, Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a clearer, more accessible term, subtle acts of exclusion, or SAEs, to emphasize the purpose and effects of these actions. After all, people generally aren’t trying to be aggressive. Usually, they’re trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, be funny, or build closeness. But whether in the form of exaggerated stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification, SAE are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances.Jana and Baran give simple and clear tools to identify and address such acts, offering scripts and action plans for everybody involved: the subject, initiator, and observer. Knowing how to have these conversations in an open-minded, honest way will help us build trust and create stronger workplaces and healthier, happier people and communities. ungekürzt.

Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min

The only comprehensive, firsthand account of the 13-hour firefight at the Battle of Keating, by Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha, for listeners of Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden and Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. "'It doesn't get better.' To us that phrase nailed one of the essential truths, maybe even the essential truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so glaringly obvious to every soldier who had ever set foot in that place that the name itself - Keating - had become a kind of backhanded joke." In 2009 Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant smaller attacks, the Taliban finally decided to throw everything they had at Keating. The ensuing 13-hour battle - and eventual victory - cost eight men their lives. Red Platoon is the riveting firsthand account of the Battle of Keating, told by Romesha, who spearheaded both the defence of the outpost and the counterattack that drove the Taliban back beyond the wire and received the Medal of Honor for his actions. ungekürzt.

Kronos Rising: Plague: If You Thought Dry Land Was Safe, Think Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min

2016 Gold Medal Award Winner (Horror Category) - AUTHORSdb Book four in the terrifying Kronos Rising series. It has begun. The terrifying prequel to Kronos Rising: Kraken Ron got up. "Holy sh-t! Steve, the Taser's not stopping him!" "It has to! Nobody can take that. Hit him again!" "Look out! Here he comes!" Ron charged again, powering his way past the jolts of pain. He smashed into the nearest intruder with bone-jarring force, grappling with him, tearing at him. The struggle intensified as the two rolled around on the alley's blood-soaked cobblestones. The second creature joined in the battle, striking at his head with a hard stick in an effort to aid his comrade. Ron laughed. The intruders were pathetically weak. He could sense it. He snatched the light from the closer one and backhanded him across the face with it, sending him sprawling. Then he turned toward the other one. He was stumbling backward, clawing at his hip, and obviously terrified. Amused, Ron turned away and focused on the one on the ground. He took a deep whiff, smelling the hot blood that ran in rivulets from the downed newcomer's brow, and listened to the jackhammer beating of his heart. More food. The deadliest killers are the ones you can't see. Three weeks have passed since the monstrous Kronosaurus imperator's attack on Harcourt Marina stunned the world. The death toll was horrifying, but Paradise Cove's traumatized survivors soon discover they have more to worry about than burying their dead and rebuilding their shattered lives. Accompanying the pliosaur were hordes of primeval pathogens. With their host destroyed, the Cretaceous-era bacteria are forced to find new homes for themselves. They do: tiny, bipedal life forms whose warm, iron-rich blood provides perfect growing conditions. They begin to multiply and spread, their mutagenic qualities quickly warping th ungekürzt.
