Seducing Stag , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
Stag and the crew of the Varnish are on a mission, responding to a distress signal of a freighter that has been attacked by the Markus Models. Instead of finding the enemy, they discover one sole survivor. Nala's a human, and having suffered at their hands during his time on Earth, there's no species Stag despises more. But when the petite woman confuses him for an android and tries to order him around, Stag decides she'll live - and pay for her slights. Nala Vestria has lost her freighter, her crew and her father, only to become personal maid to a cyborg. Stag is surly, short-tempered, and completely untrusting of humans...not to mention intense, commanding, and maybe the hottest being Nala has ever seen. When she finds him temporarily at her mercy, Nala isn't sure if she wants to kill him or kiss him. Then again, life is short. She opts for the latter. Nala swiftly becomes a distraction Stag can't afford, especially after he's had a carnal taste of what the woman has to offer. He'll take her back to Garden, his home planet, and be rid of her - as well as the emotions she evokes. But as their journey home becomes harrowing, Nala may prove to be more of an asset than a liability. To both the ship...and the lonely cyborg who commands her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Normative Psychoanalysis: How the Oedipal Dogma Shapes Consumer Culture: Scholarly Articles, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
Normative Psychoanalysis: How the Oedipal Dogma Shapes Consumer Culture' (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 14) is a critique of Sigmund Freud’s theory of the Oedipus complex. This study demonstrates that Freudian psychoanalysis, applied to children, is not permissive, but castrative; in addition, it is normative and actually a tool for forging the ideal consumer child within a consumer culture that is based on the economic paradigm of total consumption. Today, we have to make a clear choice, as parents, educators, or child psychologists, if we want to follow the bioenergetic truth of children's innate emotional and sexual response, or the mythic projections of a "cultural" conditioning system called psychoanalysis that was set in the world to veil the essential, that is, the fact that fully erotic children are bad consumers and thus by definition bad citizens in a society that is based not upon love, but upon codependence, not upon free choice relations, but the forceful adaptation of children to consumerism as the religion of the 21st century. As educators and psychologists sensitive to the emotional manipulation and abuse of children, in a society that confuses sex with violence, while violence is exactly the repression of sexual communication, we need to be proactive regarding the free emotional and sexual life of children, instead of streamlining children to the needs of the industry. ungekürzt.

Cheering the Cowboy: A Royal Brothers Christmas Novel (Grape Seed Falls Romance, Book 7) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 299min
A cowboy with anger management issues, the woman whose ranch he "stole", and their chance to get everything they want for Christmas...including each other. Austin Royal loves his life on his new ranch with his brothers. But he doesn't love that Shayleigh Hatch came with the property, nor that he has to take the blame for the fact that he now owns her childhood ranch. They rarely have a conversation that doesn't leave him furious and frustrated - and yet he still finds himself attracted to Shay in a strange, new way. When he shows up to the anger management meeting Shay runs, she's annoyed beyond measure. She has to deal with him in her space at Triple Towers Ranch - which her father lost because of his hoarding problem - and now in her personal life, too? It doesn't seem fair. Not to mention, Shay is inexplicably drawn to Austin, too, which utterly confuses and angers her. But when Austin finds out Triple Towers used to be the place to be during Christmastime - and that she still has all the decorations in an old shed - he insists they bring back the holiday glory days. As they work to make this Christmas the best the Triple Towers Ranch has ever seen, can they also navigate their rocky relationship to smoother waters? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Aftermath , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
The end isn't nigh. It's here. When Stacy wakes up one morning after a pretty bad night of drinking, she wonders where her husband and son have gone. Then she wonders where her neighbors have gone. Then the rest of the town. She wanders into the street, trying desperately to find someone, anyone. When she finally hears a voice calling for her, the story it tells chills her, confuses her, and leaves Stacy questioning everything. Randy, the teenage former stock boy, says that everyone's gone. They were taken in the night when Jesus came down from Heaven and took away the righteous and the believers. Why wasn't she taken, Stacy wonders, and how can she be expected to go on living in an empty world knowing she'll never see her husband or son again? Fans of horror author C. Dennis Moore's dark fantasy novel Revelations are familiar the author's take on the end of the world, but with Aftermath the rules are changed. This all-new look will leave listeners wondering how much more Stacy and company could possibly face in this new, uncertain world. Aftermath raises many questions of faith and fate, then answers those questions in some very unexpected ways. Just because it's the end of the world, it doesn't mean God is done with us. But are the lost, forgotten, and damned up to the challenge? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Winston Strobridge.

A Book About Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
Science writer Jonah Lehrer explores the mysterious subject of love. Weaving together scientific studies from clinical psychologists, longitudinal studies of health and happiness, historical accounts and literary depictions, child-rearing manuals, and the language of online dating sites, Jonah Lehrer's A Book About Love plumbs the most mysterious, most formative, most important impulse governing our lives. Love confuses and compels us - and it can destroy and define us. It has inspired our greatest poetry and defined our societies and our beliefs, and it governs our biology. From the way infants attach to their parents to the way we fall in love with other people to the way some find a love for God or their pets to the way we remember and mourn love after it ends, this book focuses on research that attempts, even in glancing ways, to deal with the long-term and the everyday. The most dangerous myth of love is that it's easy, that we fall into the feeling, and then the feeling takes care of itself. While we can easily measure the dopamine that causes the initial feelings of "falling" in love, the partnerships and devotions that last decades or longer remain a mystery. This book is about that mystery. Love, Lehrer argues, is not built solely on overwhelming passion but, fascinatingly, on a set of skills to be cultivated over a lifetime. ungekürzt.
