    American Prince: A Memoir, Hörbuch, Digital, 304min
    All my life I had one dream and that was to be in the movies. He was the Golden Boy of the Golden Age. A prince of the silver screen. Dashing and debonair, Tony Curtis arrived on the scene in a blaze of bright lights and celluloid. His good looks, smooth charm, and natural talent earned him fame, women, and adulation - Elvis copied his look and the Beatles put him on their Sgt. Pepper album cover. But the Hollywood life of his dreams brought both invincible highs and debilitating lows.Now, in his captivating, no-holds-barred autobiography, Tony Curtis shares the agony and ecstasy of a private life in the public eye.No simple tell-all, American Prince chronicles Hollywood during its heyday. Curtis revisits his immense body of work - including the unforgettable classics Houdini, Spartacus, and Some Like It Hot - and regales listeners with stories of his associations with Frank Sinatra, Laurence Olivier, director Billy Wilder, and film industry heavyweight Lew Wasserman, as well as paramours Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe, among others.As forthright as he is enthralling, Tony Curtis offers intimate glimpses into his succession of failed marriages (and the one that has endured), his destructive drug addiction, and his passion as a painter.Written with humor and grace, American Prince is a testament to the power of living the life of one's dreams.

    The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text That Reveals Jesus' Marriage to Mary the Magdalene , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
    In a startling follow-up to the New York Times best-seller The Jesus Family Tomb, a historical detective story that unravels a newly translated document filled with startling revelations and fascinating detail about the life and times of Jesus. Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century, Jesus' lifetime. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first-ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus' social, family, and political life. The Lost Gospel takes listeners on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm-shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is astounding: confirmation of Jesus' marriage to Mary the Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary the Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus' life, thirteen years prior to the crucifixion; an assassination attempt against Mary the Magdalene and their children; Jesus' connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul - the Church of Mary the Magdalene. Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Souer.

    The Swerve: How the World Became Modern , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    Pulitzer Prize, General Nonfiction, 2012 National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2012 Renowned historian Stephen Greenblatt’s works shoot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list. With The Swerve, Greenblatt transports listeners to the dawn of the Renaissance and chronicles the life of an intrepid book lover who rescued the Roman philosophical text On the Nature of Things from certain oblivion. Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late 30s took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic by Lucretius—a beautiful poem containing the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. The copying and translation of this ancient book—the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age—fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein; and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare, and even Thomas Jefferson. ungekürzt.

    Elements of Causal Inference
    A concise and self-contained introduction to causal inference, increasingly important in data science and machine learning.The mathematization of causality is a relatively recent development, and has become increasingly important in data science and machine learning. This book offers a self-contained and concise introduction to causal models and how to learn them from data.After explaining the need for causal models and discussing some of the principles underlying causal inference, the book teaches readers how to use causal models: how to compute intervention distributions, how to infer causal models from observational and interventional data, and how causal ideas could be exploited for classical machine learning problems. All of these topics are discussed first in terms of two variables and then in the more general multivariate case. The bivariate case turns out to be a particularly hard problem for causal learning because there are no conditional independences as used by classical methods for solving multivariate cases. The authors consider analyzing statistical asymmetries between cause and effect to be highly instructive, and they report on their decade of intensive research into this problem. The book is accessible to readers with a background in machine learning or statistics, and can be used in graduate courses or as a reference for researchers. The text includes code snippets that can be copied and pasted, exercises, and an appendix with a summary of the most important technical concepts.

    UFOs: Nazi Secret Weapons? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 225min
    Were UFOs developed by the Nazis? Did Hitler move to war too fast, before his scientists had a chance to develop copies of saucer prototypes developed in Southern Germany, and were these deliberately delayed - by "good" Germans and Allied spies - for humanitarian reasons? This and more can be found in this audiobook by Ernst Zundel, the infamous "holocaust denier" who, like so many agent-provocateurs, released solid information, only to see that information "smeared" - by chance or by design - by their own personal failings. This audio examines Operation Highjump (the Antarctic Nazi base), Hitler's drive to produce various types of UFOs, and discusses the need for "Disclosure". The material is thought-provoking, and gives credence to the Nazi development of flying saucers. UFOs: Nazi Secret Weapons? has been banned in dozens of countries, with the author claiming he has been held as a political prisoner for the last quarter of a century. The author hints at a possible connection between the appearance of UFOs in large numbers and Hitler's escape from Berlin. The startling dossier assembled here has been much-copied in the decades since it was written (1974), with other authors claiming to have discovered this material. However, it was Zundel who first gathered the data and presented it to the world - probably to his everlasting regret. UFOs: Nazi Secret Weapons? is a must-have for serious UFO researchers as well as collectors of saucer memorabilia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Barker.

    That Ain't Nothing New: But Does It Matter?: The Genius of Business Ideas Rediscovered , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    There are rarely ever brand-new ideas. Inventions are often old ideas recycled, enhanced, and marketed in a new method and format. This is all called freewheeling innovation, and this is how society (and technology) progresses. You cannot be afraid to take someone else's ideas, improve on them, and claim them as your own. This "thievery" is almost the lifeline of innovation. Recent technological advancements have been mostly regulated to the corporate level, but intercorporate dealings prove the freewheeling innovation theory. Corporate giants are constantly confronting each other in front of judges, arguing about whether one firm has copied technology invented by another firm. If nothing else, this proves to you and me that copying others is a hallmark of invention. Now, if only our courts would understand this concept, the little guys would have a much better chance. Corporations are constantly copying each other's ideas and improving upon them. They also have the resources to defend their improvements in court, unlike most individuals, who cannot fight against a litany of highly remunerated, bloodthirsty corporate lawyers. Yet you cannot and should not let this hold you back, as the only chance you have of being sued is if you have successfully introduced something "new" that is actually hurting sales of a big corporate monster. A lawsuit against you will only confirm your success. The notion that new ideas and products are invented is just a creation myth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L. David Harris.

    Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!: My Adventures in The Alice Cooper Group , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    As the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame says, "Before the world heard of KISS, the New York Dolls, Marilyn Manson, or Ozzy Osbourne, there was Alice Cooper, the original shock-rock band." When Alice Cooper became the stuff of legend in the early '70s, their shows were monuments of fun and invention. Riding on a string of hits like "I'm 18" and "School's Out", they became America's highest-grossing act, producing four platinum albums and hitting number one on the US and UK charts with Billion Dollar Babies in 1973. Their utterly original performance style and look, known as shock rock, was swiftly copied by countless bands. Dennis Dunaway, the bassist and cosongwriter for the band, tells a story just as over-the-top crazy as their (in)famous shows. As teenagers in Phoenix, Dennis Dunaway and lead singer Vince Furnier, who would later change his name to Alice Cooper, formed a hard-knuckles band that played prisons, cowboy bars, and teen clubs. Their journey took them from Hollywood to the ferocious Detroit music scene, along the way adding new dimensions of rock theater. From struggling for recognition to topping the charts, the Alice Cooper group was entertaining, outrageous, and one of a kind. Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! is the riveting account of the band's creation in the '60s and strange glory in the '70s and the legendary characters they met along the way. ungekürzt. Language: English.
