The Burning: Two New Tales of the Witch Doctors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
“Well, now we are getting somewhere,” says Sula, glancing him up and down, appearing victorious. “But she was not a witch like me, else she would not have done what she did. For that is exactly what happened, isn’t it? Jadis became infected by M24 and slew her own son, and your son too. And then you spent the next year and a half wandering a world you no longer recognized, a world where the dead were stacked on every street corner and the bonfires burned day and night, until you stumbled into a beer hall one night because they were offering free bread and heard a powerful orator talking about male superiority and cleansing the world; and you listened, at first just because it felt good to have something in your stomach, but later because you were swayed, and that orator’s name was Kill-sin, who would go on to found New Salem and rule it with an iron fist. Am I warm, witch doctor?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Shoesmith. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/179905/bk_acx0_179905_sample.mp3.

In the Dark: New Ways to Avoid the Harmful Effects of Living in a Technologically Connected World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
Do you spend the majority of your day in front of a laptop, in artificial light? Then drive home, chatting on your Bluetooth before heating up your dinner in the microwave? Then you "relax" with your iPad, glancing at your flat screen TV that's downloading the latest movie, before setting the alarm on your phone and sleeping with it next to your head, the smart meter buzzing away in the background? Here's another question: How do you feel? Any headaches or ringing in the ears? Lack of energy? Putting on weight? Annoying little allergies? Ever wondered if there's a connection? Author and environmental scientist Jason Bawden-Smith believes that, with regard to the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world, we are currently living in the dark. There's no doubt technology serves great function in this day and age, and will continue to do so. In the Dark simply brings stronger awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures that people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.

Making Friends with Your Mind: The Key to Contentment, Hörbuch, Digital, 272min
Have you ever found yourself thinking your way into a tangle of fret, frustration, or gloom? And then something small - a few kind words, the sun glancing through the clouds, a warm cup of tea - gave you a welcome pause from all your inner chatter? With Making Friends with Your Mind, that's what Pema Chödrön helps us to do, not by chance but with our full intention: to stop fighting with our thoughts and reopen ourselves to wonder as naturally as we breathe. The Buddha saw that the human experience is full of drama: confusion and conviction, joy and sorrow, success and failure - and that our minds love to amplify all of it. "We decide somebody or something is a certain way," muses Pema Chödrön, "and then that judgment gets frozen and fixated, long after things change. And things always change, right?" In these free-spirited sessions, Ani Pema helps you to bring awareness to those inflexible thoughts and sticking points. Through meditations, daily practices, and the kind of simple pointers that can change our lives, you'll learn that it is entirely possible to return to the flow and freedom of your experiences - and to find your way each day closer to a place of unconditional friendliness with yourself and with those in need.

Sky Dance: Fighting for the Wild in the Scottish Highlands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min
Bring back the lynx? Over my dead body! A mutter passed through the crowd of environmental protestors, and Rory stepped forward. "Your hunting has destroyed our hills and left them treeless wastes, devoid of wildlife. It’s time that changed." Lord Purdey’s lip curled in a sneer. "Listen, you lentil-eating cat lover, Scotland is owned by me and men like me. If we want to kill anything that moves and bulldoze your beloved hills flat, we will." Someone from the group hurled a turnip. It struck Purdey a glancing blow and he crumpled slowly to the ground, just as the archaic class system he represented must eventually fall. Or so Rory hoped....In his first two best-selling books, The Last Hillwalker and Bothy Tales, John D. Burns invited audiences to join him in the hills and wild places of Scotland. In Sky Dance, he returns to that world to ask fundamental questions about how we relate to this northern landscape - while raising a laugh or two along the way. Anyone who has stood and gazed at the majesty of the Scottish mountains will know this place and want to return to it. Now, as wild land is threatened like never before, it’s time we asked ourselves what kind of future we want for the Highlands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stewart Crank.

Kissable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 122min, (USK 18)
That sounds good! I took a sip of my tea, letting the sweet warmth pass over me. "So, what kind of pictures were you hoping to get today?" I'd come with a bare face, apart from the lipstick, which was something I wasn't used to, but I figured Taylor would either want me natural or with her own crazy artsy make-up on. She peered at my face, moving a few inches closer, and I caught a whiff of her musky perfume. Up close, I could see that she had a sprinkling of freckles across her nose and cheeks, and I found myself fighting the urge to reach out and trace the spaces between them. "I wanted to do some close-ups, and a couple of nudes- if you're comfortable with that, of course," she nodded. "No make-up, if that's cool with you." "Sure." I replied, putting my tea down and stretching myself out a little, closing the distance between us even further. "So, um, where do you want me?" She stood up and ran her fingers through her short hair. Glancing around the studio, she wandered in the direction of one of the large windows and picked up her camera. The light was pouring through, watery and thin, and she turned and gestured me over to her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Jeffries.
