    Sprout Lands: Tending the Endless Gift of Trees , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 715min
    Arborist William Bryant Logan recovers the lost tradition that sustained human life and culture for 10 millennia. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them. Rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology. He offers us both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Farnon ist ein kauziger Junggeselle aus Überzeugung, der mit seiner Haushälterin Mrs. Hall zusammenlebt. Er hat einen jüngeren Bruder namens Tristan, ein Luftikus, der ihnen in der Praxis zur Hand geht, meistens aber nur im Weg steht und von dem sich alle wünschen, er würde endlich sein Examen bestehen. Die störrischen Bauern sind dem jungen James gegenüber anfangs skeptisch, doch er bewährt sich und darf sich um sämtliche kollabierenden Katzen und kalbenden Kühe kümmern. Einer der Stammpatienten ist Tricky Woo, der völlig verhätschelte fette Pekinese von Mrs. Pumphrey. Schon früh lernt James bei einem Hausbesuch die Farmerstochter Helen Alderson kennen, was die Zahl seiner Hausbesuche bei den Aldersons auffallend ansteigen lässt...

    Tin Can Titans: The Heroic Men and Ships of World War II's Most Decorated Navy Destroyer Squadron , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    When Admiral William Halsey selected Destroyer Squadron 21 to lead his victorious ships into Tokyo Bay to accept the Japanese surrender, it was the most battle-hardened US naval squadron of the war. But it was not the squadron of ships that had accumulated such an inspiring résumé; it was the people serving aboard them. Sailors, not metallic superstructures and hulls, had won the battles and become the stuff of legend. Men like Commander Donald MacDonald, skipper of the USS O'Bannon, who became the most decorated naval officer of the Pacific war; Lieutenant Hugh Barr Miller, who survived his ship's sinking and waged a one-man battle against the enemy while stranded on a Japanese-occupied island; and Doctor Dow "Doc" Ransom, the beloved physician of the USS La Vallette, who combined a mixture of humor and medical expertise to treat his patients at sea epitomize the sacrifices made by all the men and women of World War II. Through diaries, personal interviews with survivors, and letters written to and by the crews during the war, preeminent historian of the Pacific theater John Wukovits brings to life the human story of the squadron and its men, who bested the Japanese in the Pacific and helped take the war to Tokyo. ungekürzt.

    Battle for Cilicia: Star Legions Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min
    They are an unstoppable force of mercenaries from every known Terran planet in the Galaxy. They have little in common, other than their love of wealth and adventure, and a bitter hatred for each other. Known simply as the Black Legion, they will blaze a trail of death and destruction that will be remembered for generations. For Xenophon, the Black Legion is an escape from the state that tried to kill him and his family. Exiled from his homeworld he joins the mercenaries, along with Glaucon, the rich playboy, Roxana, the veteran naval commander, and Tamara, the blue-haired castaway with a hidden past and a violent personality. Nothing will prepare them for the carnage awaiting them as they enter the borders of the Median Empire, the largest and most powerful entity in the known Galaxy, ruled with an iron fist by the tyrant, Emperor Artaxerxes and his legions of slave soldiers. The Black Legion boasts the best weapons, armor, and equipment known to humanity. As well as the most advanced warships ever constructed, from frigates and battleships to the four mighty Titans. These great floating fortresses house thousands of warriors inside their cavernous armored hulls. These mercenaries are no heroes; they are exiles, thieves, opportunists, and criminals. Each looking to make their name in the greatest enterprise in living memory, a military operation deep into the heart of the Empire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ian Gordon.

    Searcher: Annihilation, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    From the number-one best-selling author Saxon Andrew comes the fifth book in the best-selling Annihilation series, Searcher. Searcher is a number-one best seller at Amazon Kindle's Science Fiction Series. The Captors have departed to their new home but have left a warning about a looming attack from a species that is known as universe killers. The Eight Legs are more than 200 million years old, and they invade universes to kill and harvest all intelligent life. They had come eight million years ago and harvested the Stars Realm's universe, but the Captors warn that the creation of their new home would lead to their moving up their timetable for invasion. The Eight Legs would know that only a highly advanced life form could cause the creation of a new universe. These green creatures invade with ships as large as medium-sized planets, and their numbers are in the billions. No intelligent life has ever survived their attention, and the Royal Family senses them coming soon. The Realm has learned the invader's ships will not appear on any of their sensors, and all of the Stars Realm's weapons will be useless against the unique material used to construct the hulls of their ships. The Realm appears to be doomed, but Cassandra has had a vision of one of her decedents who will lead them against this ruthless enemy. She has seen him and knows that he is a Searcher. The Annihilation series continues, and the action is nonstop as the Stars Realm fights to survive against a species that has never known defeat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Liam Owen.

    Louisa June and the Nazis in the Waves
    In this moving and timeless story, award-winning author L. M. Elliott captures life on the U.S. homefront during World War II, weaving a rich portrait of a family reeling from loss and the chilling yet hopeful voyage of fighting for what matters, perfect for fans of The War That Saved My Life. Days after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Hitler declared war on the U.S., unleashing U-boat submarines to attack American ships. Suddenly, the waves outside Louisa June's farm aren't for eel-fishing or marveling at wild swans or learning to skull her family's boat—they're dangerous, swarming with hidden enemies. Her oldest brothers' ships risk coming face-to-face with U-boats. Her sister leaves home to weld Liberty Boat hulls. And then her daddy, a tugboat captain, and her dearest brother, Butler, are caught in the crossfire. Her mama has always swum in a sea of melancholy, but now she really needs Louisa June to find moments of beauty or inspiration to buoy her. Like sunshine-yellow daffodils, good books, or news accounts of daring rescues of torpedoed passengers. Determined to help her Mama and aching to combat Nazis herself, Louisa June turns to her quirky friend Emmett and the indomitable Cousin Belle, who has her own war stories—and a herd of cats—to share. In the end, after a perilous sail, Louisa June learns the greatest lifeline is love.
