    Operator #5 #10 January 1935 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
    A happy crowd, inspired by the spirit of Christmas, was milling joyously in Times Square, New York. Suddenly, cutting through the sounds of gaiety, came a shrill whine. It became louder, and at the very second of midnight, a gigantic shell exploded, killing, maiming, and destroying! At 12-hour intervals thereafter - no man knew in advance where - another shell burst devastatingly. Two great powers were openly accused in the newspapers. War - savage and bloody - was imminent, and Operator #5 realized that he had encountered his most cunning foe: the clever woman spy Radi Havara! Jimmy Christopher was the star of the most audacious pulp magazine ever conceived. With the rise of European fascism in the form of Benito Mussolini of Italy, Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, and General Francisco Franco of Spain - not to mention myriad lesser despots and dictators - Americans began to fear for their future. The dread of being drawn into a second world war became a topic of grave concern in that Depression year of 1934. At pulp magazine publisher Popular Publications, they took note of this isolationist trend and commissioned writer Frederick C. Davis to help develop a hero for their new monthly magazine, entitled Secret Service Operator #5. "The Red Invader" is read with stirring intensity by Milton Bagby. Originally published in the January 1935 issue of Operator #5 magazine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.

    [The Chancellor Manuscript] exerts a riveting appeal, as it seems to justify our worst nightmares of what really goes on in the so-called intelligence community in Washington.” (The New York Times Book Review)Did J. Edgar Hoover die a natural death? Or was he murdered? When a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals known as Inver Brass detect a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover’s unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files, they decide to do away with him - quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Then best-selling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his previous books look like harmless fairy tales. Now Chancellor and Inver Brass are on a deadly collision course, spiraling across the globe in an ever-widening arc of violence and terror. All roads lead to a showdown that will rip the nation’s capital apart - leaving only one damning document to survive.Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Chancellor Manuscript:“Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined.” (The New York Times)“A roaring ride on a roller coaster of suspense.” (The Pittsburgh Press)“Powerhouse momentum...as shrill as the siren on the prowl car.” (Kirkus Reviews)“A complex scenario of inventive double-crossing.

    Irgendwo in den Tiefen des Alls findest du einen einsamen grauen Planeten. Eine Welt namens... Cungerlan!

    Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud
    **One of NPR's Best Books of 2017** "Petersen's gloriously bumptious, brash ode to nonconforming women suits the needs of this dark moment. Her careful examination of how we eviscerate the women who confound or threaten is crucial reading if we are ever to be better."-Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies NOW WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR From celebrity gossip expert and BuzzFeed culture writer Anne Helen Petersen, a bold, accessible, and analytical look at how female celebrities are pushing society's boundaries You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who's too brazen, too opinionated-too much. Sometimes she's the life of the party; other times she's the center of gossip. She's the unruly woman, and she's on eof the most provocative, powerful forms of womanhood today. There have been unruly women for as long as there have been boundaries of what constitutes acceptable "feminine" behavior, but there's evidence that she's on the rise--more visible and less easily dismissed. In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, Anne Helen Petersen uses the lens of "unruliness" to explore the ascension of contemporary pop culture powerhouses, from Serena Williams to Kim Kardashian to Hillary Clinton. Petersen explores why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures, each of who has been conceived as "too" something: too queer, too strong, too honest, too old, too pregnant, too shrill, too much. With its brisk, incisve analysis, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud is a conversation-starting book on what makes and breaks famous women today. "Must-read list."-Entertainment Weekly Named one of Cosmopolitan's "Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down This Summer" Selected as one of Amazon's "Best Books of the Month" A Refinery29 Editors' Pick

    The Perfect Gentleman: The Remarkable Life of Dr. James Miranda Barry : Biographies, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
    James Barry was one of the most outstanding doctors of the 19th century – a brilliant surgeon, a tireless campaigner for medical reform, and a compassionate Inspector-General of the Army. But throughout a long and distinguished career an air of secrecy, even of scandal, always clung to Barry. The shrill voice, the diminutive build, the almost ostentatious humanity – all struck a discordant note in the stiff, conventional world of the officers’ mess. Only after the doctor’s death in 1865 did the incredible truth come to light: Dr. James Barry was a woman. What was her real identity? How did she manage to conceal her sex from the army for forty-six years? Why did she take on a man’s role and a man’s work? In this vivid and meticulous biography, June Rose pieces together the clues in the Barry mystery and comes up with some astonishing answers. She tells of the elite intellectual circle which first conceived the masquerade and sponsored the little girl’s entrance, in disguise, into Edinburgh University; she recounts Barry’s strange connection with a powerful aristocratic family and her intense relationship with Lord Charles Somerset, Governor of the Cape Colony and one of the few men to know her secret. And, most fascinating of all, she provides rare insights into Barry’s unique and contradictory personality: her determined clashes with authority, her courageous endurance of appalling conditions in every corner of the globe, her unforgettable encounter with Florence Nightingale. The Perfect Gentleman is the story of an extraordinary adventure – and a remarkable woman. Praise for June Rose "A fascinating, well-documented book." (Sunday Telegraph)"June Rose has succeeded in re-creating the past and relating it to the present... a fascinating account." (Times Literary Supplement)June Rose (1926-2018) was a writer and broadcaster who ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siobhan Dowd.

    Stop Tinnitus! Tinnitus relief by Hypnosis, Hörbuch, Digital, 65min
    Do you have a regularly recurring beep in your ear? Do you hear a shrill whistling? Is there a rushing in your ears? Or is there a constant buzzing? Has your doctor diagnosed you with tinnitus? Tinnitus has many different causes and triggers. Tinnitus is often a secondary symptom of other physical problems such as tenseness in the jaw and neck area. However, medications, nicotine, alcohol and particularly stress are just as likely to trigger an annoying ringing in the ears. Would you like to reduce your tinnitus to a manageable level or, at best, make it disappear completely? Fortunately, our mind and body provide all the resources that we need for a healthy, active and happy life. This program can help you call upon these self-healing powers in your subconscious. It makes no difference whether your tinnitus is acute or has already become chronic. With this hypnosis program, Kim Fleckenstein takes you to your own inner awareness space. By means of a regulator, you can consciously turn down the volume of the ringing in your ears. This allows you to regulate the whistling and noises to an acceptable level or even stop them altogether. The program can also help you to regain awareness of which aspects of your life are good for you and which are not. And in so doing, you will again become aware of how important your health should be to you! Do not listen to this program while operating a motor vehicle or during any other activity that requires your full attention. This program does not replace a doctor or any other medical aids. The best effect can be achieved by listening to this program once a day over a period of four weeks. The audiobook consists of two chapters. You can choose either to listen to the audiobook with a wake-up phase (chapter 1) or if you wish to fall asleep just listen to chapter 2. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Weber.

    Armed in America: A History of Gun Rights from Colonial Militias to Concealed Carry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    This accessible legal history describes the way in which the right to bear arms was interpreted throughout most of American history and shows that today's gun-rights advocates have drastically departed from the long-held interpretation of the Second Amendment. This illuminating study traces the transformation of the right to arms from its inception in English and colonial American law to today's impassioned gun-control debate. As historian and legal scholar Patrick J. Charles shows, what the right to arms means to Americans, as well as what it legally protects, has changed drastically since its first appearance in the 1689 Declaration of Rights. Armed in America explores how and why the right to arms transformed at different points in history. The right was initially meant to serve as a parliamentary right of resistance, yet by the ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791 the right had become indispensably intertwined with civic republicanism. As the United States progressed into the 19th century the right continued to change - this time away from civic republicanism and towards the individual-right understanding that is known today, albeit with the important caveat that the right could be severely restricted by the government's police power. Throughout the 20th century this understanding of the right remained the predominant view. But working behind the scenes was the beginnings of the gun-rights movement - a movement that was started in the early 20th century through the collective efforts of sporting magazine editors and was eventually commandeered by the National Rifle Association to become the gun-rights movement known today. Listeners looking to sort through the shrill rhetoric surrounding the current gun debate and arrive at an informed understanding of the legal and historical development of the right to arms will find this book to be an invaluable resource. ungekürzt.
