Learn the Different Ways That Anxiety Manifests , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min
Do you feel like you often experience anxiety? Does your heart suddenly start to beat faster? Do you sometimes get dizzy? Then chances are, you are experiencing an anxiety attack. Anxiety is one of the most discussed disorders. Sometimes you hear about someone having anxiety or an anxiety disorder, but you might have a hard time imagining it. If you have not had it yourself, it is hard to imagine what anxiety means to someone with an anxiety disorder. Often, people with anxiety know that their anxiety is out-of-place, but they don't know how to deal with their anxiety. Everyone gets nervous or anxious from time to time when speaking in public, for instance, or when going through financial difficulty. For some people, however, anxiety becomes so frequent, or so forceful, that it begins to take over their lives. How can you tell if your everyday anxiety has crossed the line into a disorder? It's not easy. Anxiety comes in many different forms such as panic attacks, phobia, and social anxiety, and the distinction between an official diagnosis, and "normal" anxiety isn't always clear. Anxiety is a common experience for all people. Some handle it smoothly while others could be immersed into it, knowing that they are heading for a long, dark alley with no point of return. There are approximately 40 million Americans who have various types of anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders may manifest in such a way that the person feeling it could have sensations of free-floating anxiousness without knowing the reasons that have triggered it. It may also appear like an intense and sudden attack of numbing or painful anxiety. Also, it may manifest as a social inhibition or irrational compulsions to be obsessed with certain rituals. Or, it may manifest as an illogical fear of something that doesn't seems to bother other people at all. Anxiety is a mental, emotional, and physical condition. ungekürzt. Language: English.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Writing Democracy, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the godfathers of Latin American fiction. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. He also once ran for president of his native country, Peru. Politics and literature are the driving forces in his life. And, they often come together. For instance, one of his most recent novels is The Feast of the Goat - the story of Rafael Trujillo, the infamous dictator of the Dominican Republic. Vargas Llosa tells Steve Paulson why he found the subject so compelling and what became of his own political ambitions. Then, the politician and the playwright Vaclav Havel was known first as the romantic poet in blue jeans, the dissident Czech playwright who was thrown in jail for his anti-communist plays, and who emerged to inspire the so-called Velvet Revolution that overthrew the Soviet Union. Havel was elected President of the Czech Republic and served from 1993 to 2003. Near the end of his time in office, Steve Paulson spoke with him about the role of writers and artists in a democracy. Next, some of the largest demonstrations in American history took place just a few blocks from our studios, in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Republican Governor Scott Walker had proposed cutting pensions and benefits for thousands of public employees. For days, hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors occupied the State Capitol. They ate there. The slept there. And they wrote there. Among them was sleep-in activist and blogger, Christie Taylor. After that, V.S. Naipaul won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001. A Trinidadian-British citizen, he’s known for his novels focusing on the legacy of the British Empire’s colonialism. Among them, the modern classic called A Bend in the River. Steve Paulson talks with him.Following that, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian novelist whose book Half of a Yellow Sun is set during the period of civil violence surrounding the creation of Biafra.

Lineage: The Technomage Archive, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
Ennd's Academy is under attack. Ceril Bain is on the run only a day after waking up from a coma and learning that his arm and leg have been ripped off. With terrorists with nanotechnology-powered magic killing everyone around them, Ceril's team barely escape with their lives. They go to the only place they think they can get some answers - Ceril's grandfather's house. While they're there, an energy storm forms in the garden where Ceril found his Flameblade over six years ago. Instead of being torn apart by the storm, however, Ceril and his team are transported back to Jaronya, the toxic Instance that almost killed them all three months before. This time around, though, Ceril and the others are helped by a friendly angel named Watcher. Despite this advantage they are kidnapped and imprisoned by creatures known as Wardens and come face-to-face with a sentient city named Helia. All the while Ceril's grandfather - now using his real name, Damien Vennar - is having quite an adventure of his own. After having his home invaded and his book of secrets stolen, he had gone to Ennd's Academy to find some answers. While there he discovered the new headmaster was in league with a man who had stolen his former identity: that of a legendary demigod known as the Untouchable. As he continues on his quest for answers, Damien discovers just how much he has changed over the years. Once a ruthless demigod with the power to create universes, he has spent the past 500 years learning how to be an ordinary man. Damien Vennar now must decide whom he wants to be: the all-powerful Untouchable of legend or the kindhearted and soft-spoken Gramps of Ceril's childhood. Either way, Damien and Ceril's lives will never be the same again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: CB Droege.

Art and Science of Problem Solving , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
No problem too large! No problem too complex! No problem you can't handle! There is an old saying about problems that you may have heard before, "There are no problems, only opportunities." To this simple-minded approach, Bill Gibson says, "Hogwash." Problems do exist. And you need to prepare for them and understand them before you can overcome them. Even the great problem solvers can't make problems go away, but they often find opportunities linked to them. Take Alexander Graham Bell, for instance. He lost his new-born son shortly after birth because of under-developed lungs. A heart-breaking, unsolvable problem for Bell. But he channeled his despair in a positive direction. Late the same night after the death of his son, he invented the first incubator so other premature infants could be saved! Nobody wants problems and nobody can avoid them. But with Bill Gibson's guidance, you can become a master at The Art and Science of Problem Solving. In this program you'll learn how to investigate the anatomy of a problem, how to look for unexpected solutions, how to investigate unexplained deviations from the norm, how to identify the solvable from the insolvable puzzles before you proceed, as well as many of the other steps practiced by the great problem solvers in history. You'll have a definite plan of action when it comes to problems like: solving technical trouble areas at work or home smoothing out financial and budget problems understanding and harmonizing social and family relationships dealing with disagreements, complaints and misunderstandings convincing others to agree with you dreaming up creative marketing and communications ideas Bill Gibson has done for problem solving what Zig Ziglar has done for selling and Roger Dawson has done for negotiating. He's created a fail-safe system destined to change the way you think about problems forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Gibson.

The History and Achievements of the Islamic Golden Age, Hörbuch, Digital, 718min
The study of Western Civilization traditionally follows a well-known but incomplete arc: the grand achievements of Greece and Rome, several hundred years of the Dark Ages, and then the bright emergence of the European Renaissance. But amid the "dark" Middle Ages, the Abbasid Empire, which ruled the Middle East as well as much of Northern Africa and Central Asia from 750 to 1258, serves as a vitally important but often overlooked bridge between the ancient and modern worlds. The History and Achievements of the Islamic Golden Age is your opportunity to get to know the story and the accomplishments of this great period in human civilization. Taught by acclaimed lecturer Eamonn Gearon, these 24 remarkable lectures offer brilliant insights into an era too often overlooked by traditional history textbooks. You'll meet a wealth of scholars, scientists, poets, and philosophers who paved the way for the Renaissance and continue to affect our world in surprising ways. For instance, gain insights into: The origins of the scientific method, along with the development of algebra, chemistry, physics, and astronomy as discrete fields of inquiry The invention of the modern "teaching hospital" and a medical encyclopedia that served Europe for the next 600 years The preservation and translation of the world's great literature, from the Hadith (or sayings of Muhammad) to the master works of Greece and Rome Ontological philosophy that served future Jewish, Christian, and Muslim theologians concerned with the nature of God and the relationship between faith and reason It is nearly impossible to overstate the power and importance of this crucial 500-year history, headquartered in Baghdad but stretching around the world. While much of Europe was quietly passing the time, the Abbasid Empire was an international, multicultural hub of trade, travel, education, art, science, and much Language: English.

Baba Faqir Chand's Illuminations: The London Satsangs of 1980 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min
I am fortunate to be able to publish Baba Faqir Chand's satsangs as presented to Harjit Singh Sandhu and skillfully translated by Pulkit Bose. First as a series in Sach Khand: The Journal of Radhasoami Studies and now in book form. These talks that were given in London, England, in 1980 are genuinely remarkable for their utmost clarity and penetrating insights into the nature of spirituality. Baba Faqir Chand is unique amongst masters, since he (unlike so many other gurus) was exceptionally honest about his experiences and what he learned from them over the course of his long life. Perhaps Faqir's most fundamental realization was that inner visions are a projection of one's own mind and not due to the religious leaders that we attribute to them. As Faqir said so pointedly on many occasions, “Now, you see no Jesus Christ comes from without in anybody's visions. No Rama, no Krishna, no Buddha, and no Baba Faqir comes from without to anybody. The visions are only because of the impressions and suggestions that a disciple has already accepted in his mind. These impressions and suggestions appear to him like a dream. No body comes from without. This is the plain truth.” I have had the privilege of knowing Baba Faqir Chand personally and have read almost everything available by him in English. He has provided us with an amazing cornucopia of wisdom on such subjects as karma, meditation, and ethical living. Yet, I must confess, that I find the satsangs that he gave to Harjit Singh Sandhu and Simret Kaur Sandhu in London, England, in 1980, to be unique. They are extraordinarily powerful in their import and reveal in a nutshell the very essence of Faqir Chand's radical thinking. I have read through these satsangs several times and in each instance I discover something new in them. Faqir's satsangs are akin to a multifaceted jewel, shining forth with crystalline illuminations. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chiquito Joaquim Crasto.

The Scientific Sherlock Holmes: Cracking the Case with Science and Forensics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 399min
One of the most popular and widely known characters in all of fiction, Sherlock Holmes has an enduring appeal based largely on his uncanny ability to make the most remarkable deductions from the most mundane facts. The very first words that Sherlock Holmes ever says to Dr. Watson are, "How are you? You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Watson responds, "How on earth did you know that?" And so a crime-solving legend is born. In The Scientific Sherlock Holmes, James O'Brien provides an in-depth look at Holmes's use of science in his investigations. Indeed, one reason for Holmes's appeal is his frequent use of the scientific method and the vast scientific knowledge which he drew upon to solve mysteries. For instance, in heart of the audiobook, the author reveals that Holmes was a pioneer of forensic science, making use of fingerprinting well before Scotland Yard itself had adopted the method. One of the more appealing aspects of the audiobook is how the author includes real-world background on topics such as handwriting analysis, describing how it was used to capture the New York Zodiac killer and to clinch the case against the Lindbergh baby kidnapper. Sherlock Holmes was knowledgeable about several sciences, most notably chemistry. Therefore the audiobook takes a close look at Holmes the chemist and discusses, for example, chemical poisons such as carbon monoxide, chloroform, and Prussic acid (the historical name for hydrogen cyanide). The author also debunks Isaac Asimov's famous assertion that Holmes was a blundering chemist. In addition, the audiobook discusses mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, meteorology, and geology, always in the context of Holmes's exploits. Sherlock Holmes continues to fascinate millions of readers and movie goers alike. The Scientific Sherlock Holmes is a must-have for the legion of fans of this most beloved of all fictional detectives. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bruce Reizen.

The Court and the World: American Law and the New Global Realities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 757min
A fascinating account of how an increasingly globalized and interdependent world influences the deliberations of America's highest court, by the sitting justice and author of Making Our Democracy Work and Active Liberty. In this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of SCOTUS in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of public and private activity - from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade - obliges the Court to consider and understand circumstances beyond America's borders. At a time when ordinary citizens may book international lodging directly through online sites, it has become clear that judicial awareness can no longer stop at the water's edge. To trace how foreign considerations have come to inform the thinking of the Court, Justice Breyer begins with that area of the law in which they have always figured prominently: national security in its Constitutional dimension. How should the Court balance this imperative with others, chiefly the protection of basic liberties, in its review of presidential and congressional actions? He goes on to show how the Court has also been obliged to determine the application of American law in international contexts. What, for instance, is the geographical reach of an American statute concerning securities fraud or an antitrust law? While Americans must necessarily determine their own laws through democratic process, increasingly the smooth operation of American law - and, by extension, the advancement of American interests and values - depends on its working in harmony with that of other jurisdictions. Breyer describes how the aim of cultivating such harmony, as well as the expansion of the rule of law overall, has drawn American jurists into the relatively new role of "constitutional diplomats", a little remarked but increasingly important job for them in this still changin ungekürzt.
