In Bed with Susie Bright 689: Libraries and Sex: What Hidden Treasures Can You Only Check Out with a New York Public Library Card?, Hörbuch, Digital, 24min, (USK 18)

Public libraries offer all kinds of book genres, and yes, they also carry porn! Susie starts today's show off with a look at the New York Public Library's extensive erotica collection. In the past, the library classified all racy materials with a triple star (***), which meant you could only view them under supervision. But now many pulp fictions and hidden treasures have been liberated and are more accessible. What fun to peruse vintage erotic Japanese imagery or read Henry Miller's typewritten manuscript for Tropic of Capricorn. Time to renew your library card! Next, Susie smells a rat. A swinger complained to Susie's colleague, fellow sexpert Louloria, that all people in the polyamory scene are ugly. Susie weighs in on what she might have recommended to the complainer - and speculates on why this guy is pointing a finger at a group he wants to be part of. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". An unusual book that's part poetry, memoir, and fiction is this week's pick. No Apologies by J. A. Carter-Winward, who also narrates, is a compelling slice of human experience in all its crass, hopeful, and tender glory. Have a question or news story for Susie?

Questions Are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and in Life

What if you could unlock a better answer to your most vexing problem-in your workplace, community, or home life-just by changing the question?Talk to creative problem-solvers and they will often tell you, the key to their success is asking a different question.Take Debbie Sterling, the social entrepreneur who created GoldieBlox. The idea came when a friend complained about too few women in engineering and Sterling wondered aloud: "why are all the great building toys made for boys?" Or consider Nobel laureate Richard Thaler, who asked: "would it change economic theory if we stopped pretending people were rational?" Or listen to technologist Elon Musk, who routinely challenges assumptions with questions like: "What are people accepting as an industry standard when there's room for significant improvement?"Great questions like these have a catalytic quality-that is, they dissolve barriers to creative thinking and channel the pursuit of solutions into new, accelerated pathways. Often, the moment they are voiced, they have the paradoxical effect of being utterly surprising yet instantly obvious.For innovation and leadership guru Hal Gregersen, the power of questions has always been clear-but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him: If so much depends on fresh questions, shouldn't we know more about how to arrive at them? That sent him on a research quest ultimately including over two hundred interviews with creative thinkers. Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained about the conditions that give rise to catalytic questions-and breakthrough insights-and how anyone can create them.

Killer Cop: Unnecessary Use of Deadly Physical Force and How to Protect Yourself from Being Shot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min

Have you ever been apprehended by the police? If so, how did you react to the situation? Were you handcuffed? People around the world have complained of police manhandling them during arrests, even when their conscience is clear and they know they have not committed a crime. This is a common phenomenon everywhere. The question is, how are you supposed to react before you come to the conclusion that the police are militarized? When people have accused police of using deadly physical force, more often than not, investigations have concluded otherwise. People have been killed by police gunfire because of failure to obey orders during arrests, but this does not mean the killer cops who have been accused of killing unarmed, innocent civilians should not be investigated and brought to justice. Racism is at the center of the increasing number of killer cop incidents. Racism has featured prominently as a major factor contributing to the use of deadly force and pervasive legal processes against minorities in the US. This audiobook addresses killer cop incidents, especially in the US. While it reviews what many are now calling "racist" police killings, note that some people who have been killed by so-called killer cops could have saved their lives by obeying police orders during arrests. This audiobook will also equip you with useful tips that will help you do the right thing, should you fall into the hands of law enforcement officers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Brooklyn Bridge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min

On that day in 1903, 14-year-old Joseph Michtom's life changed irrevocably when his parents - Russian immigrants - created the first teddy bear. No longer did the Michtom's gather family and friends around the kitchen table to talk. No longer was Joseph at leisure to play stickball with the guys. No longer were Joseph and his book-loving sister free from watching their pesky two-year-old brother. Now - when it was summer vacation and more than anything Joseph wanted to experience the thrill, the grandeur, the electricity of Coney Island - Joseph worked. And complained. And fell in and out of love. And argued. And hoped that everything would go back to how it used to be. All the while no one let him forget that he was lucky. Because - "There are other children. The unwanted, the forgotten, the lost ones. They gather under the bridge each night to sit, to talk, to sleep. They know, they know, they know that to everyone beyond the bridge they are invisible...." These are the children who live under the bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge.Newbery medalist Karen Hesse masterfully entwines Joseph's coming-of-age tale (and that of his big, colorful family) with the heartbreaking stories of the children under the bridge. Riveting historical fiction that is by turns accessible and ornate, very real but with a touch of magical realism. Hesse's extraordinary new work is an insightful reminder that a life - fragile and precious - can change in a moment. Brooklyn Bridge is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Berman.

Waking Up Immortal: Universal Security , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 415min

I could die today, and it wouldn't matter. I'd still wake up tomorrow. Some people might consider that a good thing, and the time I took my first bullet, well, I can't say I complained when I woke up, but that's the middle of the story. At first I didn't want this "gift" which led me to a long search for my father. I thought he could help me. Turns out my father was in prison, and I just happened to get on the bad side of his warden-a huge, cyborg type of guy who could body double for Sylvester Stallone. He didn't want me to see my father, and he was a pretty big obstacle for me to overcome. So here I am trying to convince this guy, Kier, to let me see my father when all hell breaks loose. Then I suddenly learn I really don't want to see dear old Dad after all. My life isn't in danger, but how I spend the rest of my immortal existence is. The only thing standing between me and certain torture is Kier. I don't doubt he'll protect me, but being so close to him makes me forget about things like safety. And the first time he kisses me turns into heat up the windows type of scene in the front seat of my car. My immortal existence is safe with Kier. My heart is on shaky ground. How could I have fallen in love with a cyborg? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clementine Cage. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/004880/bk_acx0_004880_sample.mp3.

American Legends: The Life of J. P. Morgan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min

Dozens of men were called "robber barons", but few were as notorious or rich as John Pierpont Morgan, a financier and banker who bankrolled the consolidation of behemoth corporations across various industries. Morgan was behind the merging of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Electric Company, which subsequently became General Electric, still known simply as GE across the world today. Similarly, he financed Federal Steel Company and consolidated various other steel businesses to help form the United States Steel Corporation. While critics complained about the outsized influence that these gigantic businesses had, Morgan's massive wealth also gave him unprecedented power in the financial sector and the ability to deal with politicians. In fact, Morgan played an important part in the Panic of 1907 and the subsequent decision to create the Federal Reserve as a monetary oversight. The industrial might wielded by men like Morgan directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the "trust buster", and there has since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the "robber barons" and even took issue with the name. Morgan may have used his wealth to collect everything from jewelry to yachts, but he was also celebrated for spending enormous sums of money on charitable works and public service projects. As a result, Morgan's reputation is still mixed, even as his legacy is felt over 100 years after his death. American Legends: The Life of J.P. Morgan looks at the life and career of one of America's most famous industrialists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Austin Downey.

Flashman and the Golden Sword: Adventures of Thomas Flashman, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 614min

The most fearsome enemy he ever faced.Of all the enemies that our hero has shrunk away from, there was one he feared above them all. By his own admission they gave him nightmares into his dotage. It was not the French, the Spanish, the Americans, or the Mexicans. It was not even the more exotic adversaries such as the Iroquois, Mahratta, or Zulus. While they could all make his guts churn anxiously, the foe that really put him off his lunch were the Ashanti.“You could not see them coming,” he complained. “They were well armed, fought with cunning and above all, there were bloody thousands of the bastards.”This eighth packet in the Thomas Flashman memoirs details his misadventures on the Gold Coast in Africa. It was a time when the British lion discovered that instead of being the king of the jungle, it was in fact a crumb on the lip of a far more ferocious beast. Our "hero" is at the heart of this revelation after he is shipwrecked on that hostile shore. While waiting for passage home, he is soon embroiled in the plans of a naïve British governor who has hopelessly underestimated his foe. When he is not impersonating a missionary or chasing the local women, Flashman finds himself being trapped by enemy armies, risking execution and the worst kind of "dismemberment", not to mention escaping prisons, spies, snakes, water horses (hippopotamus), and crocodiles.It is another rip-roaring Thomas Flashman adventure, which tells the true story of an extraordinary time in Africa that is now almost entirely forgotten. ungekürzt.

I Want To Complain : An Alternative Guide to Customer Service , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 157min

Have you got something to complain about? Have you been shortchanged? Have you complained but gotten nothing but hollow apologies? Are you due compensation? Then this book could help. Instead of writing letters using red pen and block capitals, underlining every other word, swearing at inappropriate places, and writing key words twice as big, follow the I Want to Complain philosophy and make your letters entertaining. Make the person dealing with your complaint want to help you instead of shoving your letter under the pile of others he or she has to deal with that day and getting to it "later." With eight years' experience in a customer-management role for a multinational retailer, Peter realized it was the lighthearted, entertaining letters that received the most satisfactory resolutions. I Want to Complain explains exactly what life is like on the other end of the call-center telephone and just how to ensure your complaints are dealt with as a priority. The second section of the book contains a collection of genuine complaint letters Peter has written over the years using the philosophy laid out in the first section along with their replies, so you can see for yourself just how it works. Those companies he wrote to include Marks and Spencer, Tesco, Asda, and even Newcastle city council to get a parking ticket revoked--all with positive resolutions. I Want to Complain hopes to put the fun into refund and the jest into goodwill gesture as it takes you on an entertaining and humorous journey into the world of customer service. I Want to Complain was featured on Susan Calman's BBC Radio 4 feature "The Art of Complaining" in December 2011. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leonora Haig.
