    Jude the Obscure
    "Jude Fawley, an intelligent and sensitive young Wessex schoolboy, dreams of studying at the famous university in Christminster, Hardy's fictional representation of Oxford. He embarks on years of private study, but his plans are thrown into disarray when he is deceived into marriage and then deserted by the duplicitous Arabella Donn. Jude, still hoping to earn a place at the university, travels to Christminster to work as a stonemason. Here, he falls for his freethinking cousin Sue, but with the pair living together out of wedlock, the pressures of poverty and social disapproval soon threaten to ruin their lives.Full of passion, anger, fatalism and tragedy, Jude the Obscure attacks the inequalities and hypocrisies inherent within Victorian society's attitudes towards marriage, social mobility, education and the role of women. The novel, which caused an immediate uproar on its publication, is now widely considered to be one of the great works of the nineteenth century, and the apotheosis of Hardy's fiction."

    Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min
    In this provocative book one of the most brilliant scholars of religion today dismantles distorted religious "histories" offered up by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and other contemporary critics of religion and advocates of atheism. David Bentley Hart provides a bold correction of the New Atheists’s misrepresentations of the Christian past, countering their polemics with a brilliant account of Christianity and its message of human charity as the most revolutionary movement in all of Western history. Hart outlines how Christianity transformed the ancient world in ways we may have forgotten: bringing liberation from fatalism, conferring great dignity on human beings, subverting the cruelest aspects of pagan society, and elevating charity above all virtues. He then argues that what we term the "Age of Reason" was in fact the beginning of the eclipse of reason’s authority as a cultural value. Hart closes the book in the present, delineating the ominous consequences of the decline of Christendom in a culture that is built upon its moral and spiritual values. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Mainspring of Human Progress
    For six-thousand years men died of hunger. Why don't we? This is the basic question dealt with in "Mainspring," but the attempt to find the answer leads into a wide variety of subjects, such as: What is the greatest of all modern inventions? Who invented ZERO (0) and why? Just what is the difference between a republic and a Democracy? What is the one best way to pick a genius? What simple invention contributed most to our national wealth? Is there a sure-fire formula for personal security? Weaver answers all of these questions, and more, with a bold, Libertarian narrative, while taking you on a fascinating journey through history to trace and thus identify the mainsprings of human progress. Weaver throws light on many problems plaguing the postwar world, and traces them back to the age-old conflict between Pagan Fatalism and Christian Freedom. The author delves into highly controversial subjects and leads to certain conclusions that were contrary to the expressed wisdom of his time.

    Dr. Picton's Diet Dictionary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
    Verily, verily, in the beginning I lost nine-and-a-half stone on a slow-carb diet modeled on that of Tim Ferriss in his book The 4-Hour Body. My book, Slow Carb 2, tweaking that diet, with extras including testosterone boosting and vegan options is worth a look. But the weight loss reached a plateau even with that excellent diet, so I decided to change things up a bit, the following are some of the diets I either tried, in some cases created or have been interested in since, with my reflections, in alphabetical order. You may come across one you like the sound of, or alternatively some you will then wisely plan to avoid! I am sure most if not all can be done more successfully and certainly more healthily than I have, so these are just my personal experiences and opinions. B is for Blood Sugar C is for Circadian D is for DIY Diet E is for Exercise Nice as a Vice  F is for Fatalism Diet G is for Guts I is for Intermittent Fasting N is for...Nicotine?!

    Yeager's Law: An Abel Yeager Novel, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    Abel Yeager is dead broke, down on his luck, and suffering from a serious case of what-the-hell-does-it-matter. His transition from active Marine to stateside long-haul trucker hit a wicked speed bump when his rig was involved in a wreck that claimed the life of a pregnant woman and laid him up for several months. Back at work but deeply in debt, Yeager meets bookstore owner Charlie Buchanan in St. Louis and jumps at the chance to haul a load of remainder books to Austin for her. On the way south, a crew of truck thieves tracks his every move. But none of them know what Charlie's ex has smuggled inside the book pallets, who he stole it from, or how far the owner will go to get it back. Charlie's the first person Yeager has cared about in a long time, but as their bond deepens, so does the danger they're in. With enemy forces closing in, Yeager battles greed, corruption, and his own fatalism in a bid to hold true to Yeager's First Law: come home at the end of the day. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Gospel According to Lost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
    An epic journey into the deepest mysteries of faith. Lost is not just a television show. It has become much larger than that, growing into a complex, mystery-filled epic that has garnered over 23 million participants. Some might call these people viewers, but you don’t just watch Lost - you participate in it. It demands that you dialogue with the story, seeking theories, discussing with friends, and comparing yourself to the characters. Lost has broken all the formulas for television, and in doing so has drawn together millions of people on a shared journey that explores life, faith, history, science, philosophy, hope, and the basic questions of what it means to be human. It’s the seemingly infinite ideas, philosophies, and biblical metaphors that draw us in and leave us wanting more. The Gospel According to Lost explores each of these elements in an analysis of faith and metaphor - a perfect resource for those who want to go even deeper into the journey. Inside, you’ll discover what Lost has to say about: The clash between faith and reason, on the island and in real life The struggle with guilt that consumes each character - and sometimes us too The dichotomy between fatalism and fate, and what the Bible advises How being lost - on an island or in society - presents an opportunity for reinvention that liberates some and paralyzes others ungekürzt.

    Brain Training & Conversion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
    The brain gives us human potential - to learn, to dream, to achieve and grow. It is perhaps the most powerful and yet the most delicate organ in the body. For many years, it was assumed that brain cells could not grow past early childhood and would automatically degenerate as we reached our senior years. But recent scientific research has broken the bondage and fatalism of such beliefs and demonstrated ways in which the brain can be trained, enhanced, and kept agile and alert every day of our lives to empower whatever we do. Brain enhancement is the process of developing innate abilities that allow retention of memory. When memory is retained, a person functions better in society, at work, and at home. The brain is an organ that produces thoughts and feelings, the anatomy that controls the center of the nervous system and vertebrae. It not only enhances a person's intellectual abilities, but also controls heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure, among other things. In order to enhance the brain, it is essential to improve the central nervous system, the spinal column, and one's overall health. This audiobook offers new ways of thinking and appreciating what you can do for your brain, so that the brain in turn helps you to achieve a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Kennedy Brothers: The Rise and Fall of Jack and Bobby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 917min
    Books about the Kennedys are legion. Yet missing until now has been the exploration of the bond between Jack and Bobby, and the part that it played in their rise and fall. Eight years apart in age, they were wildly different in temperament and sensibility. Jack was the born leader—charismatic, ironic, capable of extraordinary growth and reach, yet also pathologically reckless. Bobby was the fearless, hardworking Boy Scout—unafraid of dirty work and ruthless about protecting his brother and destroying their enemies. Jack, it was said, was the first Irish Brahman, Bobby the last Irish Puritan. As Mahoney demonstrates with brilliant clarity in this impeccably documented, magisterial book, the Kennedys lived their days of power in dangerous, trackless territory. The revolution in Cuba had created a poisonous cauldron of pro- and anti-Castro forces, the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, and the Mafia. Mahoney gives us Jack and Bobby in all their hubris and humanity, youthfulness and fatalism. Here is American history as it unfolds. The Kennedy Brothers is a fresh and masterful account of the men whose legacy continues to hold the American imagination. (Originally published under the title Sons and Brothers.) Richard D. Mahoney is Kennedy Scholar Emeritus of the University of Massachusetts. He is an expert on international economics and foreign policy. He is the author of two histories of the Kennedy administration, and was the Democratic secretary of state and acting governor of Arizona. He lives in Phoenix. ungekürzt. Language: English.
