    The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (MIT Press) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
    A new edition of a classic work that originated the "embodied cognition" movement and was one of the first to link science and Buddhist practices.This classic work, first published in 1991, was one of the first to propose the "embodied cognition" approach in cognitive science. It pioneered the connections between phenomenology and science and between Buddhist practices and science - claims that have since become highly influential. Through this cross-fertilization of disparate fields of study, The Embodied Mind introduced a new form of cognitive science called "enaction", in which both the environment and first-person experience are aspects of embodiment. However, enactive embodiment is not the grasping of an independent, outside world by a brain, a mind, or a self; rather, it is the bringing forth of an interdependent world in and through embodied action. Although enacted cognition lacks an absolute foundation, the audiobook shows how that does not lead to either experiential or philosophical nihilism. Above all, the audiobook's arguments were powered by the conviction that the sciences of mind must encompass lived human experience and the possibilities for transformation inherent in human experience.  ungekürzt.

    The Queens of Innis Lear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1463min
    A Kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood.... Tessa Gratton's debut epic adult fantasy, The Queens of Innis Lear, brings to life a world that hums with ancient magic and characters as ruthless as the tides. The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes. The king’s three daughters - battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan and restrained, starblessed Elia - know the realm’s only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted. Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war - but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided. ungekürzt.

    ISE Principles of Corporate Finance
    Brealey, Principles of Corporate Finance, 13e, describes the theory and practice of corporate finance. We hardly need to explain why financial managers have to master the practical aspects of their job, but we should spell out why down-to-earth managers need to bother with theory. Throughout this book, we show how managers use financial theory to solve practical problems. Much of this book is concerned with understanding what financial managers do and why. But we also say what financial managers should do to increase company value. Some of the biggest changes in this edition were prompted by the tax changes enacted in the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017. In the current edition, we have also continued to augment the international content as well as a number of chapters that have been thoroughly rewritten. For example, the material on agency issues in Chapter 12 has been substantially revised. Chapter 13 on market efficiency and behavioral finance is now fresher and more up to date. Chapter 23 on credit risk focuses more on the practical issues of forecasting default probabilities.

    Garden Variety
    If you thought community gardening was nothing but pulling weeds and planting seeds think again. In this fresh and delightful debut, Christy Wilhelmi shows that there's more to gardening than merely keeping pests at bay ... Each time Lizzie steps through the gates of the Vista Mar Community Gardens, she knows she's left the chaos of the outside world behind. Here, the rows are even, tools are properly stored, and each season brings new life. But even the shiniest apple can hide a worm, and behind the leafy green façade there is hidden heartbreak, tomato hornworms, and inter-garden political powerplays. And to make things worse—a long forgotten loophole enacted by a nasty neighbor brings the outside world crashing in. The members are feuding, Lizzie's budding romance is wilting on the vine, and the very existence of Vista Mar is threatened. Can Lizzie and her fellow gardeners fight to save their urban oasis while they struggle to stay grounded in this chaotic city? Garden Variety is as much about growing food and flowers as it is about life's growing pains, and how a community rallies and comes together to save their own.

    Twenty-Two Cents an Hour (eBook, ePUB)
    In Twenty-Two Cents an Hour, Doug Crandell uncovers the harsh reality of people with disabilities in the United States who are forced to work in unethical conditions for subminimum wages with little or no opportunity to advocate for themselves, while wealthy CEOs grow even wealthier as a direct result. As recently as 2016, the United States Congress enacted bipartisan legislation which continued to allow workers with disabilities to legally be paid far lower than the federal minimum wage. Drawing on ongoing federal Department of Justice lawsuits, the horrifying story of Henry's Turkey Farm in Iowa, and more, Crandell shows the history of the policies that have led to these unjust outcomes, examines who benefits from this legislation, and asks important questions about the rise of a disability industrial complex. Exposing this complex-which is rooted in profit, lobbying, and playing on the emotions of workers' parents and families, as well as the public-Crandell challenges readers to reexamine how we treat some of our most vulnerable fellow citizens. Twenty-Two Cents an Hour forces the reader to face the reality of this exploitation, and builds the framework needed for reform.

    Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activism and Feminism in the Movement Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1157min
    With contributions from a wide array of scholars and activists, including leading Chicana feminists from the period, this groundbreaking anthology is the first collection of scholarly essays and testimonios that focuses on Chicana organizing, activism, and leadership in the movement years. The essays in Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era demonstrate how Chicanas enacted a new kind of politica at the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and developed innovative concepts, tactics, and methodologies that in turn generated new theories, art forms, organizational spaces, and strategies of alliance.These are the technologies of resistance documented in Chicana Movidas, a volume that brings together critical biographies of Chicana activists and their bodies of work; essays that focus on understudied organizations, mobilizations, regions, and subjects; examinations of emergent Chicana archives and the politics of collection; and scholarly approaches that challenge the temporal, political, heteronormative, and spatial limits of established Chicano movement narratives. Charting the rise of a field of knowledge that crosses the boundaries of Chicano studies, feminist theory, and queer theory, Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era offers a transgenerational perspective on the intellectual and political legacies of early Chicana feminism. ungekürzt.

    20/20 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
    We all think we want 20/20 vision, don't we? But in the metaphysical and psychological realms we often prefer our accustomed blindness. It's far more comfortable. Here are two stories that take a close, 20/20 look at these things. "The Thanatos Solution"Just a few years down the road, the new health-care plan is firmly entrenched. A new bill, Ethical Assessment of End-of Life Care, has also been enacted into law. And the authorities are ruthlessly implementing it throughout the land - no more medical resources wasted on the defective and dying, equitable distribution of quality medical care, no more lingering half-lives sustained by expensive machinery. The Thanatos Solution has arrived. But there are, as always, unexpected ramifications, especially for those who wanted it. "Elmore's Accident" It was that most loathsome of all things: an uncanny, routine-disrupting inconvenience and anomaly. That's what, as the result of an unforeseen event, unexpectedly invades and upsets Elmore Wiggins' safely ordered life. For Elmore had never reckoned on the paranormal or the preternatural. But now that he's had his accident, he is "seeing" certain events in the near future – including his own (although he doesn't know it yet). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jay Wohlert.

    Summary of Live Free or Die by Sean Hannity: America (and the World) on the Brink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    Note to readers: This is an unofficial summary of Sean Hannity’s book, Live Free or Die, designed to enrich your reading experience. It is a logical and an evolutionary view of America's founding principles that have led us to where we are today. The book clarifies why the author believes that the upcoming election is pivotal in the future political and societal path of the nation. While the author is very well-known for having a conservative personality, it should come to us as no surprise from which viewpoint the book is written. I have seen other reviews of the book that have parsed certain words that the listener found offensive, or accused the author of not being the first to use various terms. That is petty and unfortunate. One must read the book to grasp the comparison between what the author believes to be the core values that have made America what it is today, and the progressive platforms that some want to see enacted to change America as we have known it. One can agree or disagree with what the author writes, agree or disagree with the direction America needs to go, but the book is a worthy and thoughtful read from which to draw your conclusions. ungekürzt.

    Green Glowing Skull , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 590min
    A breathtakingly original, darkly comic, surprisingly contemporary, and deeply surreal tale from the author of This Is the Way, Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year. After fleeing his dying parents and the drudgery of work in Dublin for the Manhattan of his imagination - a place of romance and opulence; dark, old concert halls; and mellow front parlours quieted by the hiss of the phonograph cylinder - Rickard Velily hopes to be reborn as an Irish tenor and to one day be reunited with the love of his life. At the very peculiar Cha Bum Kun Club, a masonic-style refuge for immigrants who can't quite cut it in New York City, he meets Denny Kennedy-Logan and Clive Sullis, and a plan is enacted: to revive the art songs and ballads of another time for a hip, young city in thrall to technology and money. But that is without reckoning on meddlesome sprites, the phantoms of the past - and more malignant forces who plot to subjugate the human race. Green Glowing Skull is a half-crazed brain shunt of a trip around the spirit world, the cyber world, and a woozily recognisable real world - a darkly comic tale of mythologies, machines, and the metaphysical swirl. ungekürzt.
