    Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best... and Learn from the Worst , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min
    If you are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses. This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after publishing his blockbuster best seller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses - and their followers - wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become (or work for) an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, commitment, and dignity among their charges. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Controversies and Commanders: Dispatches from the Army of the Potomac , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 680min
    Throughout the devastating years of the Civil War, the Union Army of the Potomac seldom marched in step. In this provocative book, acclaimed historian and award-winning author Stephen W. Sears takes a fascinating look at some of the intriguing Union generals and the controversies that swirled around them. Delving into historical documents and the personal papers of military officers, Sears shares the compelling stories of oft-maligned Generals McClellan and Hooker, the shocking court-martial of patriotic General Stone, the failed plots to kidnap Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and more. As the facts come to light, the Union’s renowned leaders stand revealed as what they really were: ordinary men in the grip of extraordinary times. An authority on the Civil War, Sears skillfully paints a remarkable portrait of the personalities and events that shaped our nation’s greatest crisis. The rich analysis becomes ever more clear and accessible with Nelson Runger’s thoughtful narration. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nelson Runger.

    It's Good to Be Queen: Becoming as Bold, Gracious, and Wise as the Queen of Sheba , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    When it comes to queens in the Bible, we know the good one, Queen Esther, and the bad one, Queen Jezebel. But what about the wise one, the queen of Sheba? This wealthy royal from antiquity who longed to observe for herself the wisdom of Solomon offers a storehouse of treasures for her modern sisters, showing us how to seek truth, ask the right questions, keep an open mind, give generously, and honor God above all. Just as Sheba posed enigmas for Solomon to solve, this book will address thorny life questions and consider what qualities best serve a godly queen of any realm. It's Good to Be Queen incorporates the biblical account with historical material from Josephus and other resources and touches on various legends that have swirled around the queen of Sheba for thousands of years. As she did in The Girl's Still Got It, Higgs offers deep and meaningful takeaway while drawing listeners in through her warmhearted, sometimes humorous style. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Maya just wasn't in the mood for a wedding. Yeah, her best friend in college had pulled out all the stops for it at this paradise destination. A remote tropical island and a plethora of available men with hungry eyes: it's enough to make a girl forget her troubles for a week. But there was something nagging at the back of her head, something just didn't seem right. Adam was always a bit distant from his family, so when he got the invitation to his cousin's destination wedding on a tropical island, he didn't know what to think. Tons of questions swirled in his head, but he shoved them all aside for the time being. Nothing would be gained from trying to decipher his cousin's intentions, and was he really in a position to look a gift vacation in the mouth? Even a bear shifter could appreciate a little splash in the water every now and then. After all, what could possibly go wrong? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Meghan Kelly.

    Revolution: Omega Force, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    For thousands of years, the ConFed has been the most powerful force in the quadrant. It is the umbrella under which hundreds of planets and trillions of beings live in relative peace...despite the corruption and waste, it's a system that most accept as preferable to the chaos that would ensue in its absence. Rumors have swirled around about the demise of the ConFed for as long as Jason Burke had been in space, a lone human among countless alien species. He largely ignored them...until now. For the first time since any of the members of Omega Force can remember, someone may have figured out how to destroy the ConFed without directly engaging its powerful military. As one crewmember's past seems connected to the current trouble, Jason must decide what side of the fight he's on...let the ConFed die and plunge the quadrant into chaos, or swallow his pride and try to help an institution he despises maintain its power for the greater good. ungekürzt.

    The Hunter’s Haunt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
    A blizzard savaged the mountain peaks, but at an inn called the Hunters' Haunt, travelers found safe refuge, a cozy room, and a roaring fire. All but Omar, the Trader of Tales - against whom the innkeeper had been nursing a grudge. But before he could pitch Omar out into the storm, his other guests proposed a contest: if Omar could top a roomful of their tallest tales, the storyteller could win his room and board. For Omar the stakes were life and death. That gave the contest some spice. So as winter winds whipped about the little inn, lies and truths and fabulous fabrications swirled before the blazing hearth. The innkeeper and his pretty sister; the merchant and his blushing bride; the dowager and the crusty captain of her guard; the scribe, the maid, the minstrel: they all poured out their tales, and Omar wove them together. Before they knew it, their very lives were intertwined, and their separate stories were spinning relentlessly to a single conclusion no human could have foretold! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Underneath the Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
    Douglas Hastings' passion for anything NASA drove him to analyze a treasure trove of Moon photos taken during all Apollo missions. Doug had started to believe the conspiracy theories and rumors that had swirled for years; that NASA had discovered more than just rocks on the Moon and had conspired to keep the rest of the world in the dark. A super computer's enhancement and compilation of the old photos proved his belief and sent him on a quest that has now revealed revolutionary new space travel technology and will enable him to lead a group on a return journey to explore ancient ruins on the lunar surface. But Doug's pursuit of the truth and discovery of a destroyed GLASS city on the Moon pale in comparison to what lies underneath the lunar surface. What he finds will solve the mystery of a long-dead Apollo Astronaut and provide clues to the missing elements of Earth's ancient history. But, even he isn't prepared for the discovery that will reveal the past and change the future of mankind; FOREVER! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Scott Bennett.

    An Elbow, a Flower, a Stairwell or Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
    From across the room, he noticed her elbow. Such an exquisite elbow. What fine lines. As he traced the curve of her elbow with his eyes, he noticed something stenciled there. At this distance, he should not have been able to tell that that something was a flower. But he could, so he gave up reasoning for reality. His eye started tracing the lines of the flower. He was only vaguely aware that the flower was drawn on a woman's elbow some 20 yards away. Suddenly, his laptop got heavier, almost dragging him down. He thought that must have been due to all the data he had recently downloaded. Strange thought. The lines of the flower slowly, but surely, turned into a descending, spiraling staircase. "What an interesting twist", he thought. And then his mind swirled out of control. His last thought was that he was falling.... Pink polka-dots were never so welcome! Hmmm, this stairwell traveling could come in handy, I wonder what other stairwells...You mean hells don't you, quit thinking that way! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Johnson.
