The Third Wave: Eidolon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 693min
In 2003, the largest recorded solar flare collided with Earth. The sensors measuring the solar storm were destroyed at an X28 rating, but it was determined later to be an X45 class flare. A satellite monitoring solar activity picks up something far surpassing that classification and on a collision course. A solar storm, so strong that X classifications no longer apply, hits the CERN large hadron collider at the moment of particle collision, sending a quantum wave around the world. Souls are ripped from the over seven billion people that are in its path, many immediately succumbing. Those remaining either feel nothing or are tormented by endless agony. Only a few escape its path. Sam and his teenage daughter Erin return to the surface to find a very different world from the one they left. Stranded, they must adapt quickly or become one of the creatures that now roam the earth. In the Middle East, a small team of soldiers may be the only ones left in a harsh environment overrun by creatures. With very few options and far from any refuge, they set out on a quest for help. Will the reapers hunt them down before they make it to the coast? Commander Lawrence resurfaces after a successful deep dive test of the Navy’s new toy, only to find a transformed world. The floating derelicts of his escort vessels don’t begin to show the horrors of what he’ll find ashore. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Gagliardi.

Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 881min
From a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian comes a riveting history of New York's iconic public hospital that charts the turbulent rise of American medicine. Bellevue Hospital, on New York City's East Side, occupies a colorful and horrifying place in the public imagination: a den of mangled crime victims, vicious psychopaths, assorted derelicts, lunatics, and exotic-disease sufferers. In its two and a half centuries of service, there was hardly an epidemic or social catastrophe - or groundbreaking scientific advance - that did not touch Bellevue. David Oshinsky, whose last book, Polio: An American Story, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, chronicles the history of America's oldest hospital and in so doing also charts the rise of New York to the nation's preeminent city, the path of American medicine from butchery and quackery to a professional and scientific endeavor, and the growth of a civic institution. From its origins in 1738 as an almshouse and pesthouse, Bellevue today is a revered public hospital bringing first-class care to anyone in need. With its diverse, ailing, and unprotesting patient population, the hospital was a natural laboratory for the nation's first clinical research. It treated tens of thousands of Civil War soldiers, launched the first civilian ambulance corps and the first nursing school for women, pioneered medical photography and psychiatric treatment, and spurred New York City to establish the country's first official board of health. As medical technology advanced, "voluntary" hospitals began to seek out patients willing to pay for their care. For charity cases it was left to Bellevue to fill the void. The latter decades of the 20th century brought rampant crime, drug addiction, and homelessness to the nation's struggling cities - problems that called a public hospital's very survival into question. It took the AIDS crisis to cement Bellevue's enduring place as New York's ultimate safety net, the iconi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Sanders.

Monroe & The Broken Saucers
REVIEWS: 'Finally! Monroe & The Broken Saucers have delivered a new set of timeless songs perfect for singing around the campfire or favorite honky-tonk.' Jerry Lunsford- The Hippie from Olema on KWMR The History: On one chilly September evening, in Twenty-Nine Palms, California, Monroe Gibson and Rustie Steele (AKA William Barnes) sat up all night playing music on the patio of the Joshua Tree Inn. Sometime between the multiple trips down the street to the lone Quickie Mart in that sleepy little town a great big neon sign reading only 'Jesus' appeared across the highway. The two took the apparition as a sign that they were to return to Alabama and start a jam-grass tent-revival/traveling-revue dedicated to all things western, timeless, and neon. As the sun rose over the Mojave desert, Rustie & Monroe embarked on a journey to Cap Rock inside the Joshua Tree National Park to the site of the infamous cremation of one of their favorite musical influences, the incomparable Gram Parsons. Later that very day, while trying to visit the unfortunately-closed 'World Famous Crochet Museum', the duo stumbled into the Joshua Tree Saloon and settled for some chili dogs and a couple of cold PBR's. In the ensuing hours, the origins of the Broken Saucers started to come into focus. (Well, focus is a relative term that seldom collides with these two tumbling troubadours). Driving back through the desert to Los Angeles, the two misfits became more and more convinced that what the world really needed was a healthy dose of some Good Old Traditional Whiskey-Drenched Cosmically Funky Alternative Country music. During a particularly unruly breakfast episode in an unsuspecting Denny's (there is hardly a Waffle House to be found in Southern California), the hazy plan was solidified over a half-eaten Grand Slam: The Broken Saucers had to make a record. Upon their return to the deep soulful South, Rustie and Monroe assembled the finest cast of musicians, friends, derelicts, ruffians, and compatriots they could find to bring to life this uniquely-special, if somewhat bleary-eyed, vision of Southern, saloony, sardonic symphonic-sustenance. We hope you dig listening to it as much as we dug making it. We'll holler at All Ya'll, Monroe & the Broken Saucers The Musicians: M.
