Better Than I Ever Expected : Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min, (USK 18)
Better Than I Ever Expected is a warm, witty, and honest book that contends with the challenges and celebrates the delights of older-life sexuality. It asserts that women over sixty are at the top of their game when it comes to enjoying sex. Joan Price's woman-to-woman straight talk transcends the self-help style of other books in this field. Yes, there are challenges to sex after menopause and beyond, says Price, but there are also creative solutions. She is on a mission to let women her age and older know that they can, in fact, have the best sex of their lives. Price gets personal and stays positive, combining her own story with candid comments, tips, and sassy tales from sexually seasoned women. She acknowledges the gritty issues that older women confront in their sexual lives, noting that it's not easy, but it certainly isn't over. At age 61, Price is newly engaged to the man she's been looking for her whole life. Her discovery of how great "well-seasoned" sex can be was the inspiration for this book. Sidebars present candid and friendly sex tips; fitness, exercise, and lifestyle information; and women's erotic vignettes—both real-life experiences and fantasies." ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Prince , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
When Lorenzo de' Medici seized control of the Florentine Republic in 1512, he summarily fired the Secretary to the Second Chancery of the Signoria and set in motion a fundamental change in the way we think about politics. The man who held the aforementioned office was none other than Niccolo Machiavelli, who, suddenly finding himself out of a job after 14 years of patriotic service, set a precedent for many a politician to come: He became a commentator and pundit.Unable to become an on-air political analyst for a television network or a syndicated news columnist, he wrote a book. But what a book The Prince is! Its essential contribution to modern political thought lies in Machiavelli's assertion of the then revolutionary idea that theological and moral imperative have no place in the political arena. "It must be understood", Machiavelli asserts, "that a prince...cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religions, in order to preserve the state."With just a little imagination, readers can discern parallels between a 16th-century principality and a 21st-century presidency. ungekürzt.

The Spaceships of Ezekiel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min
Not a description of a meeting with God, but with ancient astronauts in a shuttlecraft... The Spaceships of Ezekiel is about a ship that was supposedly observed by the prophet Ezekiel. It was written while the author, Josef Blumrich, was chief of NASA's systems layout at the Marshall Space Flight Center. After ufologists such as Erich von Däniken pointed to the possibility of interpreting Ezekiel's vision as a report of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, Blumrich decided to disprove the hypothesis. However, a thorough examination convinced him that Ezekiel had, in fact, seen a spaceship. He then made detailed drawings of the alien craft, concluding that the technology of the builders must have been somewhat higher than mankind's at the present. Blumrich asserts that Ezekiel's account in the Bible was not a description of a meeting with God in a prophetic vision, but one of several encounters with ancient astronauts in a shuttlecraft from another planet. Blumrich analyzes six different translations of the Bible, in conjunction with his experience in engineering, and presents one possible version of Ezekiel's visions of how God - described as riding in an elaborate vehicle capable of seeing - supposedly showed him the future and gave him various messages to deliver. ungekürzt.

Three Homilies Concerning the Power of Demons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
Saint John Chrysostom (c. 349-407), Archbishop of Constantinople, was an important Early Church Father. These three homilies deal with errors against, which Chrysostom contended all his life. It is assumed that they were delivered at Antioch when Chrysostom was a presbyter under the Episcopate of Flavian. Chrysostom opposed the idea that the world was abandoned to the dominion of devils, insisting very boldly on the freedom of will, moral responsibility, and the duty of vigorously resisting temptation. In these and many other homilies, he denounces the doctrine that evil was an original integral part of human nature, maintaining that it is not a substantial inherent force. Chrysostom asserts that humanity’s first parents stumbled through indolence of moral purpose, which is the principal root of sin. He argues that despair is the devil's most potent weapon wielded against mankind, as it prevents individuals from rising again after they have fallen.

There's No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it's clear. You know Enron's leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What's the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There's no such thing. There's only ethics." Maxwell asserts there's one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it's based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There's No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity. ungekürzt.

Richard Long: Heaven and Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
One of Shakespeare's most often quoted lines, from Hamlet, simply asserts that "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in our philosophy." The current retrospective at Tate Britain of the art of Richard Long, the first in London since the Arts Council's Hayward Gallery show in 1991, has been titled Heaven and Earth by Long himself, a phrase he had earlier used for specific works of art. The phrase, implying complementary opposites, has been suggested by the I Ching, that ancient Chinese text which for millennia has guided explorations of change and stability, order and chaos, the seemingly random and the discovery of pattern. The sophisticated yet simple concepts behind the I Ching may well be an inspiration for three of the largest works on view: the great wall painting in Vallauris clay and the first room with its two huge wall paintings in River Avon mud, exploiting almost endless variations in density of tone and hue, dominated by light and dark ochres and browns so dark as to be almost black, shaped by the primordial forms of cross and line. The tidal Avon is Long's home river; he was born in Bristol, where he still lives, in 1945. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris.

Stolen Legacy: Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min
This is the definitive audio edition of Stolen Legacy, skillfully and soothingly narrated by Karen Chilton, the award-winning narrator of The New Jim Crow. Please compare the sample audio of this recording to any competing audio samples, and you will see why the Karen Chilton reading is the preferred audio edition.In this bold and uncompromising audiobook, George G. M. James argues that the “Greek philosophy” in which nearly all of Western culture has its roots actually originated in ancient Egypt. Drawing on careful historical research and a radical rethinking of the conventional narrative of Greek history, James asserts that our celebration of the ancient Greeks as the creators of Western civilization and philosophy is misattributed. In fact, he argues, our praise rightfully belongs to the people of Africa. Furthermore, this massive intellectual and cultural theft has helped lend credence to the damaging notion that the entire continent of Africa has contributed nothing to world civilization.James explorers documented connections between celebrated Greek philosophers and the influence of Egyptian thought, proposing other possible links between northern Africa and Greece, as well. An important book for understanding the history of philosophy, culture, and race in the modern world, Stolen Legacy is not to be missed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Chilton.
