    Shango and the Amazing Magical Bravery Spell: An Aid for Parents to Help Children with Fears & Phobias , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 16min
    Shango and the Amazing Magical Bravery Spell is part of a series of books which aim to deal with a number of childhood issues, such as sleep, anxiety, and anger using direct suggestion and repetition. This book deals specifically with fears and phobias. Most children suffer one time or another from irrational fears and from what are known as "age appropriate" fears. These they will grow out of and are a normal product of children's imagination, development, and learning process. However, in some cases an irrational or excessive fear might linger and become worse as they grow older, developing into a phobia. Shango books are based around the central character of Shango Tidbog. Shango and his friends, using "magic spells", aims to help children overcome common issues such as sleeping, anxiety, phobia, anger, and sadness. Tidbogs live in both the real world and the Dream World, where they have the power to help their "special friend" (the child) and confer spells upon them given by Tidbog wizards, known as Wizbogs. All the books have a common thread to improve positivity and happiness within the child. Therefore not only will the books alleviate or even nullify the child's specific issue, but also aim to leave them with a happier and more positive disposition. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Take Pride: Why the Deadliest Sin Holds the Secret to Human Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
    A leading psychologist reveals how our most misunderstood emotion - pride - has shaped our minds and our culture, and shows how we can harness its power. Why did Paul Gauguin abandon middle-class life to follow the path of a starving artist? What inspired Bill Gates to give away so much of his hard-won fortune? How has Donald Trump succeeded so excessively, when his winning style could easily be his greatest liability? As the renowned emotion researcher Jessica Tracy reveals in Take Pride, each of these superachievers has been motivated by an often maligned emotion: pride. Its dark, hubristic side is well known, but Tracy shows that pride is also essential for helping us become our best, brightest selves. By making us care about how others see us and how we see ourselves, pride makes us strive for excellence. In the right doses and the right contexts, it has been proven to boost creativity, motivate altruism, and confer status and power on those who display it. In Take Pride, Tracy explains why we came to feel pride and how we can make this double-edged emotion serve us - rather than the other way around.

    Craft: An American History
    New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A groundbreaking and endlessly surprising history of how artisans created America, from the nation's origins to the present day. At the center of the United States' economic and social development, according to conventional wisdom, are industry and technology-while craftspeople and handmade objects are relegated to a bygone past. Renowned historian Glenn Adamson turns that narrative on its head in this innovative account, revealing makers' central role in shaping America's identity. Examine any phase of the nation's struggle to define itself, and artisans are there-from the silversmith Paul Revere and the revolutionary carpenters and blacksmiths who hurled tea into Boston Harbor, to today's "maker movement." From Mother Jones to Rosie the Riveter. From Betsy Ross to Rosa Parks. From suffrage banners to the AIDS Quilt. Adamson shows that craft has long been implicated in debates around equality, education, and class. Artisanship has often been a site of resistance for oppressed people, such as enslaved African-Americans whose skilled labor might confer hard-won agency under bondage, or the Native American makers who adapted traditional arts into statements of modernity. Theirs are among the array of memorable portraits of Americans both celebrated and unfamiliar in this richly peopled book. As Adamson argues, these artisans' stories speak to our collective striving toward a more perfect union. From the beginning, America had to be-and still remains to be-crafted.

    The DNA of Consciousness: A Brief Introduction to Evolutionary Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 197min
    The new field of evolutionary philosophy, unlike its aborted predecessors of the past, is primarily concerned with understanding why Homo sapiens are philosophical in the first place. It is not focused on advocating some specific future reform, but rather in uncovering why humans are predisposed to ask so many questions which, at least at the present stage, cannot be answered. In other words, if evolution is about living long enough to transmit one's genetic code, how does philosophy help in our global struggle for existence? To answer that question and others branched with it, one has to deal with the most complex physical structure in the universe - the human brain. Because it is from this wonder tissue, what Patricia Churchland has aptly called "three pounds of glorious meat," that all of human thought, including our deep and ponderous musings, is built upon. Take away the human brain and you take away all of philosophy. Therefore, if we are to understand why philosophy arose in the first place, we have to begin with delving into the mystery on why consciousness itself arose. And to answer that question we first have to come to grips with Darwin's major contribution to evolutionary theory - natural selection. Why would nature select for awareness, especially the kind of self-conscious awareness endemic to human beings, when survival for almost all species is predicated upon unconscious instincts? What kind of advantage does self-reflective consciousness confer that would allow it to emerge and develop over time? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R. Paul Matty.

    Wiggles, Winks & Wizards: Paul and Kerby’s Great Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    It’s the mid-to-late 1970s and radio is rapidly evolving from it’s early mass-entertainment monopoly, through its post TV transition as a music platform, and into an uncertain future. Fueled by the 1971 Federal Regulation requiring all new car radios to carry both the AM and FM bands, the radio business was once again in a state of change. It was the right time for the right people with the right stuff to catch lightning in a bottle - Paul & Kerby showed up with an abundance of the right stuff.  Wiggles, Winks & Wizards: Paul & Kerby’s Great Adventure details the second act of the story begun in Alias Emperor Rodgers (published 2018). In that first book, two high school teens get involved in local radio in small town Pennsylvania and make a handshake pledge to own a radio station together someday. From there, they build separate careers as prominent on-air radio personalities Paul “Rodgers” and Kerby “Scott.” The day comes when they reach a crossroad and are challenged to face that youthful pledge and make a choice...to either “fish or cut bait.” They choose to fish. This book picks up the story as Paul Rothfuss and Kerby Confer leave the air to focus on the business of radio and learn the ropes. After an intense year of preparation they make a second handshake agreement, this time on an unwritten business partnership that makes that boyhood pledge a reality, and changes their lives. ungekürzt.
