The Dam Situation: Dam Rodents Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
Dam Rodents: The Dam Situation is the first book in a new series of hilarious sci-fi/fantasy novels starring a cast of quirky characters charged with saving the world from total destruction. It all starts at the Suwanee High Institute of Technology (SHIT), where Richard Johnson, a.k.a. Prick, informs his lab partner, Skunky, that he's given up on developing Richard's Vitamin Extract. So Skunky leaves the condescending Prick to his fancy electromagnetism and continues working on the beverage. Fast forward: Prick - now much older - has seen his life spiral downward. And with no help from his grossly incompetent lawyer, Becky, he's sentenced to hard labor at the Suwanee Dam. There, the contentious crew gathers: There's Prick, arrogance fully intact, and the gerbil Peaty, who can't get no respect. There's also Becky and her fellow beaver friend, Janelle. Then Skunky, now the rich and famous inventor of Skunky Brew, appears, accompanied by the fierce female feline Kitty. Believing he's the chosen one, Prick issues his instructions. The gang is to retrieve six pieces of a meteorite that have scattered to different earthlike planets. They'll have to work together, or it's mission impossible - and the end of the world forever! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mikael Naramore.

Lord of War: Black Angel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 759min
1356 A.D. - It is warring times for England as the Black Prince sweeps his way through France, waging nasty warfare on the population. Masterminding this brutal strategy is the knight they call the Black Angel. Brandt de Russe, Duke of Exeter, is the brains behind the prince’s war machine, a mountain of a man who is as cunning as he is frightening. In battle, no man is his equal. The Lady Ellowyn de Nerra, granddaughter of the great mercenary Braxton de Nerra, has been sent to London by her crippled father to collect the men he has donated to the Black Prince’s wars in France. De Nerra men are mingled with the Duke of Exeter’s men and Ellowyn is at the dock when the duke disembarks his ships. In her attempt to introduce herself to Brandt and explain her purpose, the duke has little time for the beautiful young woman and mistakes her for a whore. Grossly insulted, Ellowyn threatens the man that all sane men fear. And so begins the fiery, passionate, and deep love story that transcends families, kings, and two continents, building to the Battle of Poitiers where Brandt is on the front lines. In battle, no man is his equal but even the most powerful of men are prisoners of their own hearts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Dorse.

If you want to discover the captivating history of Operation Barbarossa, then pay attention....On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. In the time since the end of the war, the world has become familiar with the number of deaths sustained by the Soviet Union (also known as the USSR) during the conflict - 20 million.

Adolf Hitler invaded the Soviet Union with more than three million men. The Soviets had just under that number in the western section of their country to meet them, as well as millions more elsewhere, which was something Hitler did not count on and grossly underestimated.The struggle between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany was one of the largest and deadliest conflicts of all time - a war of elimination between totalitarian nations led by two of the most ruthless leaders in the history of the world.In Operation Barbarossa: A Captivating Guide to the Opening Months of the War Between Hitler and the Soviet Union in 1941-45, you will discover chapters, such as:Nazis and CommunistsInvasionAll seems lostAnd much, much more!So, if you want to learn more about the history of Operation Barbarossa, scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button! ungekürzt.

Prof: Alan Turing Decoded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist. He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to disentangle the real man from the story. It is easy to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical professor. But actually Alan Turing was never a professor, and his nickname, 'Prof', was given by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Park. Now Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing's life and creativity and the later creation of a legend. For the first time it is possible to disclose the real character behind the cipher-text: how did Alan’s childhood experiences influence the man? Who were the influential figures in Alan's formative years? How did his creative ideas evolve? Was he really a solitary, asocial genius? What was his wartime work after 1942, and why was it kept even more secret than the Enigma story? What is the truth about Alan Turing's conviction for gross indecency, and did he commit suicide? What is the significance of the Royal Pardon granted in 2013? In Dermot's own style he takes a vibrant and entertaining approach to the life and work of a true genius. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Miracle Workers: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
God, bored, decides that Earth has had its day - unless two idealistic angels can make a miracle happen. Welcome to Heaven, Inc., the grossly mismanaged corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as "God") has been phoning it in. Lately, he's been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it's not to resolve wars or end famines, but to Google himself and read what humans have been blogging about him. When God decides to retire (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening an Asian Fusion restaurant), he also decides to destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs - uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snow banks - and they refuse to accept that Earth is going under. The angels manage to strike a deal with their boss. He'll call off his Armageddon if they can solve their toughest miracle yet: getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet to fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and Earth to rescue them - and the rest of us, too. ungekürzt.

Intellectuals and Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
This is a study of how intellectuals as a class affect modern societies by shaping the climate of opinion in which official policies develop, on issues ranging from economics to law to war and peace. The thesis of Intellectuals and Society is that the influence of intellectuals is not only greater than in previous eras but also takes a very different form from that envisioned by those like Machiavelli and others who have wanted to directly influence rulers. It has not been by shaping the opinions or directing the actions of the holders of power that modern intellectuals have most influenced the course of events, but by shaping public opinion in ways that affect the actions of power holders in democratic societies, whether or not those power holders accept the general vision or the particular policies favored by intellectuals. Even government leaders with disdain or contempt for intellectuals have had to bend to the climate of opinion shaped by those intellectuals. Intellectuals and Society not only examines the track record of intellectuals in the things they have advocated but also analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views and visions have emerged. One of the most surprising aspects of this study is how often intellectuals have been proved not only wrong, but grossly and disastrously wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society-- and how little their views have changed in response to empirical evidence of the disasters entailed by those views. ungekürzt.

The New Anti-Catholicism: The Last Acceptable Prejudice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America. And as Philip Jenkins argues in The New Anti-Catholicism, this virulent strain of hatred - once thought dead - is alive and well in our nation, but few people seem to notice, or care. A statement that is seen as racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, or homophobic can haunt a speaker for years, writes Jenkins, but it is still possible to make hostile and vituperative public statements about Roman Catholicism without fear of serious repercussions. Jenkins shines a light on anti-Catholic sentiment in American society and illuminates its causes, looking closely at gay and feminist anti-Catholicism, anti-Catholic rhetoric and imagery in the media, and the anti-Catholicism of the academic world. For newspapers and newsmagazines, for television news and in movies, for major book publishers, the Catholic Church has come to provide a grossly stereotyped public villain. Catholic opinions, doctrines, and individual leaders are frequently the butt of harsh satire. Indeed, the notion that the church is a deadly enemy of women - the idea of Catholic misogyny - is commonly accepted in the news media and in popular culture, says Jenkins. And the recent pedophile priest scandal, he shows, has revived many ancient anti-Catholic stereotypes. It was said that with the election of John F. Kennedy, anti-Catholicism in America was dead. This provocative new audiobook corrects that illusion, drawing attention to this important issue. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Raymond Scully.
