Ashtray

His Secretary: Undone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min

I'm about to throw an ashtray at my boss's head. Turns out, the mind behind my favorite, steamy romance novels...the ones I only read in private...the ones that are my only escape after a long day of dealing with The Boss from Hell? It's not Natalie McBride, the sweet, rural housewife. It's him. That's right: my boss, Adrian Risinger, the 33-year-old, maddeningly sexy, pissant billionaire "bad boy" who thinks he runs my life. He is also the author of all my deepest, most secret fantasies. And to make matters worse, he needs me to impersonate "Natalie" at a series of book signings and conventions. But, of course, that's only if I want to keep my job. On second thought, I'm going to need something heavier than an ashtray. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elena Wolfe.

Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min

Hot on the trail of Cleopatra's grave all we had to do was get from Cairo to the Temple at Taporisis. Morning sunlight glared from the muddy surface of the Nile. Six floors down a body in white sprawled in a splat of blood. My first official kill as a tomb raider and it was an ashtray-rubout. How embarrassing. Professor Roger Jolley and I were in the first trimester of our third archaeological case. The adrenalin high of tomb raiding had become an addiction. As we sat in the Smiling Camel Café, I noticed Roger was wearing two left shoes. Brown wingtips. We were definitely starting off on the wrong foot. ~ Egypt, You are loved and respected around the world. ~About the AuthorBarbara Silkstone is the best-selling author of:Wendy Darlin Tomb Raider seriesWendy and the Lost BoysLondon BroilCairo CaperCriminally Funny Fables series The Secret Diary of Alice in Wonderland, Age 42 and Three-QuartersWendy and the Lost BoysLondon BroilZo White and the Seven MorphsCold Case Morphs.

Paradox , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min

Thinkers have been fascinated by paradox since long before Aristotle grappled with Zeno's. In this volume in The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Margaret Cuonzo explores paradoxes and the strategies used to solve them. She finds that paradoxes are more than mere puzzles but can prompt new ways of thinking. A paradox can be defined as a set of mutually inconsistent claims, each of which seems true. Paradoxes emerge not just in salons and ivory towers but in everyday life. (An Internet search for "paradox" brings forth a picture of an ashtray with a "no smoking" symbol inscribed on it.) Proposing solutions, Cuonzo writes, is a natural response to paradoxes. She invites us to rethink paradoxes by focusing on strategies for solving them, arguing that there is much to be learned from this, regardless of whether any of the more powerful paradoxes is even capable of solution. Cuonzo offers a catalog of paradox-solving strategies - including the preemptive strike (questioning the paradox itself), the odd guy out (calling one of the assumptions into question), and the you can't get there from here (denying the validity of the reasoning). She argues that certain types of solutions work better in some contexts than others and that as paradoxicality increases, the success of certain strategies grows more unlikely. Cuonzo shows that the processes of paradox generation and solution proposal are interesting and important ones. Discovering a paradox leads to advances in knowledge: New science often stems from attempts to solve paradoxes, and the concepts used in the new sciences lead to new paradoxes. As Niels Bohr wrote, "How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jo Anna Perrin.
