    Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
    A world-renowned psychiatrist reveals the fascinating story of psychiatry's origins, demise, and redemption. Psychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining "lunatics" in cold cells and parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public. But as Jeffrey Lieberman reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening book, the path to legitimacy for "the black sheep of medicine" has been anything but smooth. In Shrinks Dr. Lieberman traces the field from its birth as a mystic pseudoscience through its adolescence as a cult of "shrinks" to its late-blooming maturity since the Second World War as a science-driven profession that saves lives. With fascinating case studies and portraits of the luminaries of the field, from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel, Shrinks is a gripping and illuminating read. It is also an urgent call to arms to dispel the stigma surrounding mental illness and to start treating it as a disease rather than a state of mind. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Hellion and the Highlander , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    Only one man could set her heart ablaze.... Lady Averill Mortagne learned to control her fierce temper as a young girl. But if her father insists on parading her before one more English lord who looks askance at her flame-colored hair, she'll simply scream! Her only respite is the time she spends with Kade Stewart, the wounded Scot her brother brought home from the Crusades. Who could have imagined a Highland warrior would be the only gentleman around? Lady Averill helped save his life, and for that Kade is truly grateful. She is also almost unbearably beautiful, but he could never subject such a sweet and gentle lady to the rough life of a Stewart laird's bride... or could he? When she braves an unexpected danger by his side, Averill will prove to Kade that her heart is as fiery as her hair ...and that submitting to their scorching passion would be heaven indeed. ungekürzt.

I gobbled it up like an edible." -Armistead Maupin In the 1970s, when cannabis was as illicit as heroin, Alia Volz's mother ran Sticky Fingers Brownies, a pioneering underground bakery that delivered ten thousand marijuana edibles per month to a city in the throes of change-from the joyous upheavals of gay liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple.

When HIV/AIDS swept San Francisco in the 1980s, Alia's mom turned from dealer into healer, providing soothing edibles to those fighting for their lives at the dawn of medical marijuana. By turns heartbreaking, exhilarating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Home Baked celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home.

    The Gothic Shift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    Winner of the International Book Awards for Best Short Story Collection, The Gothic Shift is a beguiling collection of the macabre and supernatural from best-seller Brian David Bruns. "The Gothic Shift" begins with a man who comes into a restaurant every day to gulp down vast quantities at the shrimp buffet, while his forlorn waitress seems to gain weight on his behalf. Here Bruns achieves a delightful balance of whimsy and the grotesque, with a glimmer of moonstruck romance. "The Finger People" is a fine study of Civil War squalor and carnage - spotlights the Union attack on the Confederate stronghold Fort Henry. A timid rebel cook discovers something even grislier than the usual horrors of war: ghouls feeding off the dead...and the living. "The Ghost of Naked Molly" takes us back to old New Orleans on the eve of the Louisiana Purchase, where the ghost of a gorgeous octoroon slave mistress complicates the political schemes of a local grandee by parading around his house in the nude. "The Penultimate Mr. Nilly" visits the crew of a ship stuck in the Arctic ice in 1859 as they slowly go mad from hunger. The ultimate solution - prompted by a stitched, velveteen toy wolf - gives a completely new twist on survival of the fittest. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Cowboy Crushin': The Dalton Boys, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min
    Five brides for five brothers. At least that's the deal the Daltons have struck with their boys. Each son must marry in order to inherit a piece of the ranch they love so much. Shelby has pulled up roots - again - and taken her funds from her latest divorce settlement to open a candy shop in Vixen, Texas. She wants better for her son than new men parading through his life because his mom can't get herself together. The small town is the perfect place to avoid male interest - mainly because there aren't many available. When Witt spies the curvaceous new candy shop owner, he suddenly has a sweet tooth. Trouble is, so does every other man in the vicinity, including his brother Kade. Shelby seems to crave male attention, and they flock to her like bees to honey-flavored hardtack, though nothing she says or does seems genuine. Who is she really? Burning to uncover her mysteries, Witt spends so much time in town that the ranch suffers. Afraid another man will snag her up, Witt sweeps her and her son away. The Daltons feel like the family she's never had and the gorgeous cowboy demands entry to her heart, but the fortress she's built has deep foundations. Will she ever be ready to give her whole self? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. R. Lowe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/064106/bk_acx0_064106_sample.mp3.

    Found Cheating: Sara Makes Tina Serve as Her Personal Slave Girl Volume 1 Thru 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 170min, (USK 18)
    Tina went to grab for Sara, but fell to the ground. Her towel came off and she was on her knees reaching for Sara naked. “Please Sara, don’t tell anyone!” She begged. Sara stopped and looked down at Tina who had a pleading look on her face. “Please, I can’t get expelled, I just can’t.” She paused and continued, “You can stay here, and I won’t kick you out.” Sara looked at Tina and saw her sexy naked body. She got turned on and felt herself getting excited. “Also…” “Anything.” Tina interrupted, “I will do anything.” She pleaded. Remembering what her father had told her. She had to graduate Yale before she could have access to her father’s millions. If she got expelled, she would never see one dime of that money. She was desperate. “I will do anything.” She said in a meek voice. “Anything.” “From now on, you will do everything I tell you to do for my entertainment and amusement. Do you understand?” She asked Tina. “Yes. I will do everything you say.” Tina agreed. “That is including being my sex slave.” Sara added. “Sex slave?” Tina inquired. “You don’t think I see you parading around here in your little skimpy panties? Haven’t you ever wondered why I don’t bring guys around?” She asked. “I thought it was because you were afraid I was going to steal them away from you.” Tina replied. “No, that is not why. It’s because I am a lesbian. I love women. Sexy, beautiful and hot women like you.” Sara smiled and kneeled down on the floor next to Tina and began caressing her skin. “With soft skin…” ungekürzt.

    Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
    An endlessly entertaining portrait of the city of Amsterdam and the ideas that make it unique, by the author of the acclaimed Island at the Center of the World Tourists know Amsterdam as a picturesque city of low-slung brick houses lining tidy canals; student travelers know it for its legal brothels and hash bars; art lovers know it for Rembrandt's glorious portraits. But the deeper history of Amsterdam, what makes it one of the most fascinating places on Earth, is bound up in its unique geography - the constant battle of its citizens to keep the sea at bay and the democratic philosophy that this enduring struggle fostered. Amsterdam is the font of liberalism, in both its senses. Tolerance for free thinking and free love make it a place where, in the words of one of its mayors, "craziness is a value". But the city also fostered the deeper meaning of liberalism, one that profoundly influenced America: political and economic freedom. Amsterdam was home not only to religious dissidents and radical thinkers but to the world's first great global corporation. In this effortlessly erudite account, Russell Shorto traces the idiosyncratic evolution of Amsterdam, showing how such disparate elements as herring anatomy, naked Anabaptists parading through the streets, and an intimate gathering in a 16th-century wine-tasting room had a profound effect on Dutch - and world - history. Weaving in his own experiences of his adopted home, Shorto provides an ever-surprising, intellectually engaging story of Amsterdam from the building of its first canals in the 1300s, through its brutal struggle for independence, its golden age as a vast empire, to its complex present in which its cherished ideals of liberalism are under siege. ungekürzt.

    Lucas (Cambridge, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
    Welcome to the world of the ton's notorious Cambridge brothers. All six of them. Book 1 kicks off a regency historical romance series that follows each brother's life in their search for wives. Lucas Cambridge is the eldest son and heir to a dukedom. He is cynical, jaded, and a devilish rake. Marriage is the furthest thing from his mind. Unfortunately, his meddlesome family has other plans. While attempting to extricate himself from one of their ridiculous schemes, he dives behind a curtain during a ball in the hope of escape. The only problem is his hiding spot is already occupied by a most peculiar woman. Something about her piques his interest because she looks vaguely familiar. He has seen her eyes before in a very different setting, and like a moth to a flame, Lucas is determined to find out everything about her. Caitlin Drummond dreams of the day when her stepmother stops parading her in front of every eligible bachelor within a ten-mile radius. Fortunately, she knows the best hiding spots in every ballroom throughout the ton. A wallflower entering her third season on the marriage mart, Caitlin has no interest in capturing the attention of any lord and views them all with a generous amount of disdain. As a secret understudy to a progressive physician, she knows the vices most upperclassmen partake of when they are not in polite society. Caitlin is relieved when Lucas Cambridge fails to recognize her and is committed to keeping her distance. Because if he remembered her from that night months ago, it would ruin her life. Warning: Alpha males, reluctant heroines, and frivolous entertainment ahead. Not suitable persons under 18. It contains mature content.
