They're really embarrassed, especially Gertie, who managed to shoot down several of the alien's space ships with her holy land-to-air rocket launcher.

To her and everyone else's disbelief, undead Japanese snow monkeys are slowly approaching the town, and now Gertie and Cousin Tommy must fight their way to safety through the undead simian horde who seem to have a real bone to pick with Gertie.

Why Are There Still Creationists? (eBook, ePUB)
The evidence for the ancestry of the human species among the apes is overwhelming. But the facts are never "just" facts. Human evolution has always been a value-laden scientific theory and, as anthropology makes clear, the ancestors are always sacred. They may be ghosts, or corpses, or fossils, or a naked couple in a garden, but the idea that you are part of a lineage is a powerful and universal one. Meaning and morals are at play, which most certainly transcend science and its quest for maximum accuracy. With clarity and wit, Jonathan Marks shows that the creation/evolution debate is not science versus religion. After all, modern anti-evolutionists reject humanistic scholarship about the Bible even more fundamentally than they reject the science of our simian ancestry. Widening horizons on both sides of the debate, Marks makes clear that creationism is a theological, not a scientific, debate and that thinking perceptively about values and meanings should not be an alternative to thinking about science - it should be a key part of it.- Shop: buecher

Of Sudden Origin: Of Sudden Origin Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
Perhaps once in an epoch, events force evolution to take a giant leap and a life form arises that is aberrant to that from which it sprang. Call them zombies if you must; America is at the mercy of a ruthless infection that devolves the intellect into that of a simian fiend. Horrible, yes, merciless, yes, bloodthirsty, unquestionably - but it is the offspring of the infected who will change the world: The children of the fiends are a mutant mind controlling abomination, and there is no defense against them. Jon Washington is one misstep from being torn apart, eaten alive or becoming a psychotic killer. Broken down in a New Hampshire forest with millions of psychopathic Americans marching on his heels, he meets Nikki Rosen, a disgraced Marine. Together they will cross a crucible of challenges that have outwitted and killed the most resilient. In an effort to solve what is being called the Cain's pandemic, a hot zone team of CDC scientists backed by Special Forces will go to Florida. Along the way they will stare into the very face of evil. Happenstance combines these disparate groups in an explosive conclusion. Will any survive? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben L.

Hacking Men: Decoding Why Men Behave the Way That They Do Toward Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
Men are dogs! How many times have you heard this? But have you ever stopped to question the reasons why men do the things they do, and why they behave as badly as they do? Probably not! Or maybe you have investigated this to a certain extent. But your girlfriends are really not the most open-minded and objective people to ask, especially if you have just had a bad experience with a man, and your friends have got their hair up, armed and defensive, ready to take down all that is male, in defense of your honor! The author of this book, Gayle Simian, knows that girls talk, and that they say things to each other that they mostly want to hear. She also knows that men are not the best people to interrogate in seeking the answers to these age old questions, because of the obvious bias. In her book entitled Hacking Men: Decoding Why Men Behave the Way that They Do Toward Women, she explains in detail the reasons why men behave the way they do. This book has been written objectively, and after you have heard it, your eyes will be open, and your rose-tinted glasses will have effectively been removed. But you need to approach this content with an open mind yourself, and hopefully walk away armed with a proper knowledge of what actually goes on in the mind of a man. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Gareth and the Lost Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
Fast-paced and funny, Gareth and the Lost Island is a story about a scholar named Gareth Mintel. He thought he had everything he'd ever wanted. He was the youngest professor in the history of the University Arcanum and was already on the list to make tenure. Getting caught in the bedchambers of the wife of one of the Island Republic of Draconia's most powerful merchants changed all of that. Before Gareth could count to 100 in any of the several languages he spoke, he found himself saddled with a seemingly impossible quest. He was commanded to find the Lost Island of Mascal and bring back proof of its existence. If he failed, he would be banished from the university. Problem was, the island had been lost since the Second Great Apocalypse some 13,000 years ago. That was just one of the several good reasons why no one else had ever found the island. Not willing to let him go alone, Gareth was joined by his adoptive father, Dr. Tralnis Granitestaff, and their simian butler, Henry. Armed with a little more than Gareth's wits, Tralnis' Dwarven stubbornness, and a rather questionable magical talisman (that might have come from an ancient joke shop,) the odd little family set off on their quest. Using what monetary resources they had, the trio managed to hire an old rundown freighter after they met the beautiful and perky Izzy Morgana. The Glorious Dawn was captained by her terrifying sister, Elizabeth Morgana. Together, with the rest of the motley crew of the Glorious Dawn, they set off on a globetrotting journey across Hadronus in search of Mascal. The quest would lead them to face angry pirates, reptilian slavers, irritable skeletons, and a venomous duck. Despite these challenges, Gareth hoped to find the Lost Island of Mascal and perhaps himself along the way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Mallard.

The Spread of HIV and AIDS: The History of the HIV Virus and the Rise of Infections Across the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
At some point during the 1930s, an altered form of simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV, was transferred from a chimpanzee to a human hunter. This most likely occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo when hunters handled and consumed meat from hunted chimpanzees. Those initially infected by the chimpanzees would spread the disease further, and a generation later, in 1959, a man in the Democratic Republic of Congo died due to AIDS-related complications. Using blood plasma, researchers have determined he was the first documented case of the disease in humans. Flashing forward to the 1970s, the disease continued to spread throughout the world undetected. It reached countries such as the US and England, passing the radar of most medical professionals, and as a result, no research was performed during the decade. By 1981, an extremely rare type of skin cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma, became increasingly common among gay men in New York City and California. This, coupled with high rates of pneumonia, led researchers to believe immunodeficiency was on the rise due to a disease. By the end of 1981, 121 Americans had died as a result of the unknown disease, and the following year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, made initial predictions related to the disease. They hypothesized the immune deficiencies present in gay men was the result of an infection. As a result, the phrase acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, was coined. They also learned other groups, such as drug users and hemophiliacs, were at equally high risk of contracting the disease. By 1983, the disease had reached five continents and was becoming more widespread in Europe. Gay men who had visited the US and individuals who had connections to Africa were especially at risk. At this point, researchers began to investigate these ties. The disease was finally discovered in 1984 by Luc Montagnier at France’s Pasteur Institute and Robert Gal ungekürzt. Language: English.
