  Finding Stillness in a Noisy World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min

  Moving through the settings of her life - red rock canyons, aspen forests, mountains, and cities - Jana Richman probes the depths of her internal landscape and asks how we can find stillness in our noisy world. In essays both personal and profoundly universal, Richman eschews quick and easy answers for quiet reflections on the questions: In a culture demanding that every voice be heard, how do we make sense of the resulting roar? Where do we seek solace when the last quiet places are sacrificed to human hubris? How do we shed the angst thrust upon us to create lives of peace?In these wide-ranging personal essays, Richman travels interior roads through fear, kindness, ignorance, darkness, wildness, compassion, solitude, loneliness, and more - always asking how external geography informs our internal geography. From the monsoonal rains in the carved slot canyons of the Escalante to the eroticism of dirt on skin in a remote slice of the Grand Canyon; from the defiance of academic authority to the curled, arthritic fingers of her mother and grandmothers, Richman sinks into the realities that make us human and fallible and blessed. Inspired by masters of the traditional personal essay such as E. B. White and M. F. K. Fisher, Richman adds a unique, deeply intimate - and often humorous - voice to the concurrence of human experience. Like a desert stream, human meaning meanders before coming to rest. Richman’s authentic voice illuminates the place where internal and external landscapes merge into meaning. Time with these genuine, inclusive pieces is time well spent. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary McKay. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/202290/bk_acx0_202290_sample.mp3.

  The House with the Stained-Glass Window (eBook, ePUB)

  "Zanna Sloniowska writes beautifully; with empathy, sensitivity, and with real political impact . . . an important new voice in Polish literature" OLGA TOKARCZUK, Nobel Prize-winning author of Flights"Remarkable, a gripping, Lvivian evocation of a city and a family across a long and painful century . . . A novel of life and survival across the ages" PHILIPPE SANDS, author of East West StreetAmid the turbulence of 20th century Lviv, meet four generations of women from the same fractious family, living beneath one roof and each striving to find their way across the decades of upheaval in an ever-shifting city. First there is Great-Granma, tiny and terrifying, shaped by a life of exile, hardship and doomed love, now fighting to keep her iron grip on the lives of her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter. Then there is Aba, arthritic but devoted; cowed and despised by her mother, her one chance of happiness thwarted and her hopes of studying painting crushed. Thirdly, Marianna, the brilliant opera star: bold, beautiful and a fearless crusader for Ukrainian independence, who is shot during a demonstration and whose life and martyrdom casts a shadow upon the young life of the fourth and final woman, her daughter.More important even than these four women though is the character of the city of Lviv (or Lwów, or Lvov, depending on the point in history). A city of markets and monuments, streets and spires, where history and the present collide, civilisations clash and stories rise up on every corner. Translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones

  The Ogre in the Basement: And Other Strange Tales From the 1960s and 1970s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min

  If you grew up in the late 60s and 70s, you need to read this book.  It follows the life of a baby boomer who was raised by hard-working World War II era parents who are still not convinced he has learned to wipe himself. He has gone to college, dated, gotten jobs, gotten married, become a father, lost jobs, gotten divorced, learned how to use a computer, and tried to fulfill his civic responsibilities.  Like many others in his generation, he followed the time-honored steps which were supposed to guarantee a successful career, a happy marriage, and a comfortable retirement. Instead, he is struggling to keep the wolf from the door. He is checking out online dating sites, and praying Walmart will have an opening for a geriatric greeter when his arthritic fingers can no longer pound a keyboard. Looking back over his life, he is unsure where it all went wrong, or even if it did.  His wife and kids turned him into the Ogre in the Basement, but even there he has his doubts. Was he mean like Shrek, or was he more like the whiney snot-nosed kid everybody liked to laugh at in the third grade when he threw a crying fit. Is it any wonder Katharine Hepburn said, “Life is hard? After all, it kills you.” If you are not careful, life will kill you. Or, turn you into the Ogre in the Basement.  Read the Ogre in the Basement. Laugh, cry, and get a new perspective on life, the Universe, and everything else. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Healing Arthritis: How to Heal from Arthritis Naturally Without Drugs, Step by Step Process + Anti-Inflammatory Foods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min

  Arthritis is a disease that affects a significant number of people, especially in Western countries. Unfortunately, statistics show this disease on the rise in both young and older adults, even more than diabetes. It is quite striking how these overwhelming statistics do not occur in some eastern countries; I will show you the reasons.What happens on a regular basis when people start with arthritic symptoms? Even before consulting a doctor, it is very possible that to endure the pain and to be able to continue carrying out daily activities, many go to the nearest pharmacy and look for an analgesic drug or NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in the OTC products gondola. (without medical prescription). If the person becomes aware that what he is choosing is a drug that brings benefits and inconveniences, he may stop to read the leaflet and there, he finds out about the contraindications, the cases in which it is not recommended and the adverse side effects - a list that is usually quite nourished.In spite of everything, the person intoxicated by his pain may be that he decides to take that analgesic and check that after a while his pain calms, but then it returns with the same or greater intensity and a second intake is necessary, then a third, and this creates a kind of addiction with the painkiller. And the consequences will not be expected, from stomach pains that hinder digestion to liver, kidney, coronary problems, or any other side effect.In this book, it will show you exactly what to do for this problem.

  After the Roof Caved In: An Immigrant's Journey from Ireland to America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min

  The moving story of an Irish immigrant's life from a poverty-stricken childhood in Ireland to becoming a captain of industry, After the Roof Caved In is a powerful, poignant look at how hard work and education enabled one young man to change his life and circumstances completely. Today, Michael J. Dowling is president and CEO of Northwell Health, New York State's largest healthcare provider and private employer, with over 68,000 employees and over 700 facilities. But he grew up in deep poverty in the village of Knockaderry in rural Ireland, in a small home without running water or a stable roof, in a family with little hope for improvement and a place with little opportunity - and he overcame it all to become wildly successful. After the Roof Caved In is Dowling's rags-to-riches story of his life and journey from his destitute youth to his realization of the power of education and his eventual departure from his home to attend university in Cork and onward through his life as he gradually improved himself and his circumstances. Full of memories both fond and painful, this powerful memoir examines the family dynamics of his childhood - including the lives of his deaf mother and arthritic father - as well as the social systems of the time, the politics and concerns of the day, and the way a variety of disparate events came together to help Dowling change his life completely. Most importantly, it chronicles his lifelong effort to rise above the circumstances into which he was born and to create the sort of life he dreamed possible. For anyone interested in the stories of immigrants, the experiences of the Irish in the mid-20th century, or the value of hard work and education in changing one's life, After the Roof Caved In is an essential listen and a heartfelt, deeply moving meditation on an extraordinary life.  ungekürzt.

  Short Story Press Presents: Chest of Childhood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

  Short Story Press Presents: Chest of Childhood by Janet Marie LewisAn aged, decrepit old woman wanders the quiet hallways of her home. She remembers a day when they were brighter...more kinetic with anticipation of life within their walls. Family was a regular occurrence, and the tinkling laughter of grandchildren used to echo through the house. Oh, how she missed those times, as she now hobbles oh-so-slowly with her cane through the archaic old home.And as the old woman wanders, reminiscing through the halls, she comes upon a door. Rusty hinges amplify groan of age as the door swings slowly open, and she balances herself in the doorway.The old woman discovers a chest...an antique old cedar chest that is very large, and her breath catches briefly as her heart thumps in her own body. The chest has sparked a memory, and she releases the door jam. Using her cane for support, the woman shambles over to the massive trunk with anticipation in her eyes.It had been near 85 years after all, since she’d seen what was in the trunk, and she could barely remember, though it called out to her in the otherwise empty room. Now, it took her what seemed like a very long time to reach it, and when she did, her weakened old body fell against it for support. She fumbled with the latch as her gnarled and arthritic hands fought against what it was she desired, but finally...she was able to snap the hasp upward, releasing the lock on the trunk.What she discovered inside was not just a memory. What she discovered was a living, breathing catalyst that grasped her firmly in its grips and propelled her back in time. The old woman discovered herself in the midst of her childhood friends. A child again herself, she caught the jump rope chant on the wind.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Krista Nicely.

  The Hot Flash Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 651min

  From the best-selling author of Between Husbands and Friends and An Act of Love comes a wise, wonderful, and delightfully witty coming-of-age novel about four intrepid women who discover themselves as they were truly meant to be: passionate, alive, and ready to face the best years of their lives. Meet Faye, Marilyn, Alice, and Shirley. Four women with skills, smarts, and secrets - all feeling over the hill and out of the race. But in a moment of delicious serendipity, they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones and lost dreams. Now, as the Hot Flash Club, where the topics of motherhood, sex, and men are discussed with double servings of chocolate cake, they vow to help each other...and themselves. Faye, the artist. A determinedly cheerful widow and connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she's struggling with creative block and an empty, lonely house. Now she's got a tricky problem to bring to the club's table: How can they catch her perfect son-in-law cheating on her only daughter, Laura? Shirley, the healer. Though her yoga-slender body belies her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of being broke make her feel her age. Shirley has a secret dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. But first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities, and in her friends at the club. Marilyn, the brain. A paleontologist who has spent so many years looking at dried-up fossils, she's almost become one herself. Worried that her brilliant but nerdy son is about to marry the very wrong woman, she gets some help from the HFC, who transform her from a caterpillar to a butterfly, with amazing results. Alice, the executive. Black and regal, she soared to the top of the corporate ladder. Now her shoes are murder on her arthritic back, and the younger jackals are circling in for the kill. But as the inspiration behind the HFC, she's about to discover something extraordinary: contentment. F ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carrington MacDuffie.
