Flossed & Found , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 649min
Pepper leads a busy life with all the freedom a Gen-X kid could want. She lives with her distracted father on a hippy commune transitioning to a biker maintenance and repair garage in North Georgia. Getting around on her lovingly maintained two-wheeler, she juggles commune chores, food scavenging, and two paying jobs. When her first permanent tooth pushes through, she comes into some easy money. By capturing her tooth faery, she secures a knowledgeable mentor who will teach her how to eat in the wild and honor her own true North. Iris is a young woman coming of age in wartime England. She shares her frustration about limited career opportunities and dreary fashion choices with her faery friend, who enjoys visiting the beck behind her parents' home. When Iris makes some photographs of herself with Maeve, she launches a controversy in the human realm, putting Maeve's reputation and her people's way-of-life in peril. The unintended betrayal strains their friendship to the limit. Matthew's mother excessively dotes on him, worrying incessantly that he is not eating enough, despite clear evidence to the contrary. His weight isolates him from his peers and traps him in a struggle against his only loved-one. Maeve helps him tune in to his emerging inner voice and stand up for himself. Unwittingly, he is drawn into faery politics and Maeve's network of benevolent manipulation, reaping both benefits and heartache. Macie is tough and shrewd, but takes too many hard knocks as a grifter. As Macie's life falls apart, Maeve does what she can to salvage the only good thing from the tattered ribbons of Macie's destruction. Through narrative and letters, Flossed & Found tracks tooth retrieval agent Maeve Faedent as she meddles with her clients' lives, using the relationships to undermine the secrecy protocols in her own world and rescue a few humans along the way.

How to Be A Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 937min
Elizabeth Taylor has never been short on star power, but in this unprecedented biography, the spotlight is entirely on her - a spirited beauty full of magic, professional daring, and wit. Acclaimed biographer William Mann follows Elizabeth Taylor publicly as she makes her ascent at MGM, falls into (and out of) marriages, wins Oscars, fights studio feuds, and combats America's conservative values with her decidedly modern love affairs. But he also shines a light on Elizabeth's rich private life, revealing a love for her craft and a loyalty to the underdog that fueled her lifelong battle against the studio system. Swathed in mink, disposing of husbands but keeping the diamonds - this is Elizabeth Taylor as she lived and loved, breaking and making the rules in the game of supreme celebrity. In the 60s, Elizabeth Taylor's affair with the married Richard Burton knocked John Glenn's orbit of the moon off front pages nationwide. Yet, despite all the gossip, the larger-than-life personality and influence of this very human woman has never been captured. William Mann, praised by Gore Vidal, Patricia Bosworth, and Gerald Clarke for Kate, uses untapped sources and conversations to show how she ignited the sexual revolution with her on-and off-screen passions, helped kick down the studio system by taking control of her own career, and practically invented the big business of celebrity star-making. With unputdownable storytelling he tells the full truth without losing Taylor's magic, daring, or wit. Listeners will feel they are sitting next to Taylor as she rises at MGM, survives a marriage engineered for publicity, feuds with Hedda Hopper and Mr. Mayer, wins Oscars, endures tragedy, juggles Eddie Fisher, Richard Burton and her country's conservative values. But it is the private Elizabeth that will surprise - a woman of heart and loyalty, who defends underdogs, a savvy professional whose anger at the studio's treatment of her led to a lifelong battle aga ungekürzt.

Dirty Rich Cinderella Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
A sexy, stand-alone forbidden boss romance! Seduced for a night. Taken forever. With only nine months left at Stanford, and despite being top of her law school class, Lori Havens takes leave to care for her sick mother. That means she juggles three jobs, the best of which is researcher for Cat Summer, novelist and syndicated columnist of Cat Does Crime. One evening after finishing up her work at Cat's apartment building, Lori has an encounter with a sexy stranger and does something out of character: She goes home with him. The night is perfect; he's perfect, wealthy, powerful, and from out of town. Morning comes, and despite their connection, Lori leaves before he finds out she's far from the equal he believes her to be. She's not a charity case, and she's not after his money. She will make her own. In other words, she leaves before her prince charming finds out she's no princess. Flash forward a few months; Lori’s mother is healing, and Cat's husband, Reese, has merged his firm with another, and Lori lands an internship there, with school credit and scholarship money. Everything is falling into place. That is until fate reveals a wicked twist of events, and Lori walks into a conference room to find her new boss, Cole Brooks, one of the partners, is her one-night prince charming. One sizzling shared look across a boardroom and it’s clear: This man is not done with her.

The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 238min
When faced with a human error problem, you may be tempted to ask "Why didn't these people watch out better?" Or, "How can I get my people more engaged in safety?" You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of "The Bad Apple Theory" where you believe your system is basically safe if it were not for those unreliable people in it. Building on its successful predecessors, the third edition of The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' will show a new way of dealing with a perceived "human error" problem in your organization. It will help you trace how your organization juggles inherent trade-offs between safety and other pressures and expectations, suggesting that you are not the custodian of an already safe system. It will encourage you to start looking more closely at the performance that others may still call "human error", allowing you to discover how your people create safety through practice, at all levels of your organization, mostly successfully, under the pressure of resource constraints and multiple conflicting goals. The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' will help you understand how to move beyond "human error"; how to understand accidents; how to do better investigations; how to understand and improve your safety work. You will be invited to think creatively and differently about the safety issues you and your organization face. In each, you will find possibilities for a new language, for different concepts, and for new leverage points to influence your own thinking and practice, as well as that of your colleagues and organization. If you are faced with a human error problem, abandon the fallacy of a quick fix. Listen to this audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sidney Dekker.

Cave of Bones: A Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 612min
New York Times best-selling author Anne Hillerman brings together modern mystery, Navajo traditions, and the evocative landscape of the desert Southwest in this intriguing entry in the Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito series. When tribal police officer Bernadette Manuelito arrives to speak at an outdoor character-building program for at-risk teens, she discovers chaos. Annie, a young participant on a solo experience due back hours before, has just returned and is traumatized. Gently questioning the girl, Bernie learns that Annie stumbled upon a human skeleton on her trek. While everyone is relieved that Annie is back, they're concerned about a beloved instructor who went out into the wilds of the rugged lava wilderness bordering Ramah Navajo Reservation to find the missing girl. The instructor vanished somewhere in the volcanic landscape known as El Malpais. In Navajo lore, the lava caves and tubes are believed to be the solidified blood of a terrible monster killed by superhuman twin warriors. Solving the twin mysteries will expose Bernie to the chilling face of human evil. The instructor's disappearance mirrors a long-ago search that may be connected to a case in which the legendary Joe Leaphorn played a crucial role. But before Bernie can find the truth, an unexpected blizzard, a suspicious accidental drowning, and the arrival of a new FBI agent complicate the investigation. While Bernie searches for answers in her case, her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, juggles trouble closer to home. A vengeful man he sent to prison for domestic violence is back - and involved with Bernie's sister, Darleen. Their relationship creates a dilemma that puts Chee in uncomfortable emotional territory that challenges him as family man, a police officer, and a onetime medicine man in training. Anne Hillerman takes us deep into the heart of the deserts, mountains, and forests of New Mexico and once again explores the lore and rituals of Navajo cultur ungekürzt. Language: English.
