    From New York Times best-selling author Joanne DeMaio comes a heartfelt story of secrets and second chances.Sara Beth and Rachel have been wishing on stars for as long as they've been friends. Sara Beth dreams of opening an antique shop in quaint Addison, Connecticut. For Rachel, a little beach cottage will do, where sea breezes and salt water might inspire her sketches.

Excusing herself to use the ladies' room during lunch, she disappears, slipping the waiter a note to pass along, asking Rachel to cover for her.Sara Beth's escape begins a summer of change - of herself, of her marriage, of the lives of those around her back home in Addison. Most unexpectedly, it brings a solitary Mounted Police Officer into Rachel's life, one who gladly shows Rachel that it isn't always stars that deliver our wishes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
    The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban Blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans. David Ansell has spent nearly four decades as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago, and has witnessed firsthand the lives behind these devastating statistics. In The Death Gap, he gives a grim survey of these realities, drawn from observations and stories of his patients. While the contrasts and disparities among Chicago's communities are particularly stark, the death gap is truly a nationwide epidemic - as Ansell shows, there is a 35-year difference in life expectancy between the healthiest and wealthiest and the poorest and sickest American neighborhoods. If you are poor, where you live in America can dictate when you die. It doesn't need to be this way; such divisions are not inevitable. Ansell calls out the social and cultural arguments that have been raised as ways of explaining or excusing these gaps, and he lays bare the structural violence that is really to blame. The Death Gap outlines a vision that will provide the foundation for a healthier nation - for all.  ungekürzt.

    Warlight: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
    From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement. In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself - shadowed and luminous at once - we follow the story of 14-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey - through facts, recollection, and imagination - that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time. ungekürzt.

    The Butcher's Hook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min
    Longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize 2016. The debut novel by actress and presenter Janet Ellis, The Butcher's Hook is the dark and unexpected tale of a young girl in 18th-century London determined to take her life in her own hands. No matter the cost. Anne Jaccob is coming of age in late 18th-century London. When she is taken advantage of by her tutor - and her father's great friend - her powerlessness in the world is brought home to her. And it joins several other formative experiences in her short life so far that will serve to dictate her future actions. Her saviour appears in the form of Fub, the butcher's boy. But will what she learns in his company actually be her salvation or her damnation? Anne's morality is certainly more than dubious, but the influences on her are no less so. And through Ellis' rich but deft storytelling and portrayal of Anne's strength of character, listeners will find themselves almost excusing her escalating crimes, even when self-defence becomes overridden by something darker. This is a book in which the panoramas and filthy streets of the city, the colour and bear-baiting of St Bartholomew's Fair, the nobility and the hypocrisy of learning and piety, the excitement and envy of love and obsession, and the visceral rites of passage of passion and death are all gloriously celebrated and scrutinised. A sweeping tale - but always an intimate one - told with the same intricate details as Sarah Waters' works and the compelling darkness of Hannah Kent's Burial Rites. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Faith in Heroin Anonymous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min
    The roles of faith, belief, and spirituality in Heroin Anonymous are covered, but mostly this audiobook is about behavior motivating beliefs, like those of the cognitive model. The beliefs of using heroin addicts about their addiction, their life and heroin are what keeps them using. These beliefs are shaped by the addict’s mental obsession, which excuses and justifies using at every turn. Obsessions of every kind function by excusing and justifying aberrant behavior. Loss of faith in these excuses and justifications coupled with a crisis situation and the availability sobriety knowledge enables the heroin addict to see clearly and get sober. The addict gets sober by believing in abstinence as the solution and active participation in the Heroin Anonymous as the method. Created and driven by the addicts will to live, sober beliefs get and keep the addict sober.The personality and character shaping role of a higher power in 12 step recovery is explained. The adaptability of non-theistic faiths, such as Buddhist meditation, is discussed. Freedom of belief is explained, including the freedom to be an atheist and participate in HA. Cognitive behavior therapy employs the cultivation of rational beliefs. This books explanation of how beliefs are formed, within the human personality, adds much to the understanding of cognitive science. Faith and belief are defined and expanded on and the traditional religious connotations that monopolize these powerful psychological words are challenged. Use of faith and belief as terms of cognitive science is encouraged.The concept of faiths plural is introduced. Faiths plural is the idea that several forms of faith acting in synergy get and keep addicts sober. For example faith in the HA program and faith in one's decision to stay sober together with other forms of faith create the belief structure within the personality of the addict that motivates lasting meaningful sobriety. ungekürzt.

    Social Anxiety: The Social Anxiety Cure: 7 Steps to Freedom from Social Anxiety (Social Anxiety, Self Confidence, Shyness, Social Skills, Introvert) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    Social anxiety haunted me all throughout high school and university. I tried to fool others into thinking I was getting along fine, while in reality, I was suffocating inside. Should anything unexpected occur within an interaction, sweat would begin running down my back. My forehead would easily catch up. Next thing I knew, I was excusing myself to the bathroom just to get some air. "I am too different from them. I will never fit in," I thought. I routinely caught myself contemplating others, seeing in envy how easily some could gather and maintain social attention. I came to the conclusion that some were born with certain social qualities and others weren’t. That conclusion set me at ease for a while. But oh boy, what I would’ve given to be like them. That was me seven years ago. Fast forward to now, and a lot has changed within me, largely due to a decision I made back in 2010 to change who I was at a psychological, emotional, and even spiritual level. What this audiobook will do for you is teach you all I have learned to date in how to overcome your social anxiety and begin to thrive in social situations. This is not a quick fix or gimmick. What I'm inviting you to do is join me in a process of personal evolution, in which we will: Find purpose and motivation for personal change Clean up our past conditioning in regards to social behavior Get out of our heads and connect with our body to naturally flow in social settings Begin to genuinely connect with others by shifting into a "Giver" mindset Explore meditation and other ways to find Inner Stillness Build a powerful inner circle that will support us in our change Much, much more! Choose to invest in yourself and get my audiobook. Enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kurt von Schmittou at KvonS Vocals.

    Conscientious Objection
    This book traces, assesses and compares the history of conscientious objection - in the cultural context of six common law nations - from refusal of military service and a range of similar moral dilemmas, to objecting to abortion, to the current social polarisation surrounding vaccination hesitancy in the COVID-19 pandemic.It considers the impact of this form of dissent in relation to social movements like Black Lives Matter, social activists such as Gandhi, and whistle blowers like Daniel Ellsberg. It reflects on the relationships between the sacred and the secular, the state and the citizen, in order to better understand the responsibilities of citizenship in our increasingly secular societies. It analyses what defines the conscientiousness of an objection from both legal and ethical standpoints. It examines what constitutes a matter of conscience, why this should justify exemption from civic duties and why this form of dissent has such a time-honoured status. It explores the increased reliance on "grounds of religion, belief or conscience" as providing justification for excusing some citizens from complying with certain responsibilities - mandated by equality and non-discrimination legislation - that are binding for all others.By conducting a comparative evaluation of national law and judicial rulings on a fixed agenda of issues, this book identifies key jurisdictional differences concerning conscientious objection. In so doing, it highlights the importance of cultural context and constructs a jurisdiction-specific overview of legislation, policies and case law. By tracking policy developments and highlighting crucial judicial rulings - particularly in the US - it provides insights into the probable future direction of developments in national law relating to conscientious objection.Lastly, the book draws attention to some of the potential consequences of manifesting dissent by opting out of performing public services - e.g. the possible local breakdown of specific service availability (e.g. abortion, officiating at same-sex marriages, and immunisation); prompting population movements as established democratic civil rights are locally negated (reproductive rights, LGBT rights, right to health protection); fragmenting society into a geographic patchwork of regions in which some citizens are branded as conservative/reactionary and others as progressive; and fuelling the culture wars - with profound implications for a coherent democratic society.
