Porn Again: Porn Again, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min, (USK 18)

Harper 'Happy' Downman has no idea what's about to hit him. A typical button-down, Christian conservative American with a quaint home, a lovely wife and a dull sex life, he lives a life of monotonous mediocrity in the sun washed paradise that is South Florida. At the the height of the Great Recession, Happy's world takes a sharp turn when he loses his job due to corporate downsizing. Things go from bad to worse when he returns home to find his beloved wife in bed with another man. Struggling to find stable employment in the midst of an impending divorce, Happy's misfortune plummets further with the sudden arrival of his lecherous older brother. The black sheep of the family, he tempts Happy with a 'stimulating' solution that's sure to raise eyebrows within his ultra-conservative family. Relocating to the decadent, hedonistic streets of New Orleans, Happy finds himself in the most unlikely position...as the manager of a sex store. Caught in a whirlwind of porn, sex toys and colorful characters, Happy is challenged to turn around the worst store in the company while also being forced to face the harsh reality of his role in his failed marriage. In the process, he finds himself also learning quite a bit about life and love from the very people he was once prejudiced against. For a man with a stellar reputation as a salesman, Happy's about to learn the true meaning of the adage 'Sex Sells'. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Byrd.

Six books in one.Critical thinking can be defined as "finding out how to think better by enhancing one's thinking skills".

Several ones will be highlighted that are specifically designed for certain positions. Hard skills, soft skills, and other critical thinking skills will be addressed.

Another Time, Another Life: The Story of a Crime (2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min

In 1975 , six young people stormed the West German embassy in Stockholm, taking the entire staff hostage. They demanded the immediate release of members of the Baader- Meinhof group being held as prisoners in West Germany, but 12 hours into the siege, the embassy was blown up, two hostages were dead, and many others were injured, including the captors. Thus begins Leif GW Persson's Another Time, Another Life. The story, based on real events linked to the still-unsolved assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme, picks up in 1989, as the seemingly unrelated stabbing death of a civil servant is investigated by officers Bo Jarnebring and Anna Holt. Under the supervision of their cantankerous, prejudiced, and corrupt superior, Evert Bäckström, the case gets surreptitiously swept under the rug, and the victim is tied to a string of sex-related crimes, despite evidence to the contrary. Another 10 years pass before the confounding truth about the murder victim is unearthed. Just as Lars Martin Johansson, a friend of Jarnebring's, begins his tenure as the head of the Swedish Security Police, he inherits two files from his predecessor, one of which is on the murder victim - who turns out to have been a collaborator in the 1975 embassy takeover. Revealed now are not only the identities of the other collaborators but also the identity of the murderer: an intelligent, capable lawyer a heartbeat away from the top position in Sweden's Ministry of Defense. With masterfully interlaced plotlines pulled from the darkest corners of political power and corruption, Another Time, Another Life bristles with wit, insight, and intensity. ungekürzt.

First Impressions (eBook, ePUB)

Matt James, the first Black bachelor on ABC's beloved television show, The Bachelor, shares his views on the controversial topics that defined his season and confronts matters of race, opportunity, and his biracial identity head on. When The Bachelor franchise announced Matt James as the first Black lead, it was celebrated as long-overdue progress on the primetime show. America fell in love with Matt-the Christian, former NFL athlete, and nonprofit CEO-who charmed millions of viewers each week. But the off-screen conversations around the show revealed the realities and inescapable challenges of being Black in America and the depth of racism that still exists. On the show, Matt could only go so far in sharing his own story with America. In First Impressions, Matt shares his views on controversial topics like race and opportunity that defined his season on The Bachelor. Matt lives at the intersection of these important issues and shares the wisdom his experience has granted him. Matt describes the joys and difficulties of being the youngest of two Black sons, raised by a single, working-class, white mother in Raleigh, North Carolina. He elaborates on the spiritual closeness and sense of duty he felt for his mother, but also the complex relationships he had with the many male figures in his life: his prejudiced, Italian grandfather, who had trouble accepting Matt as his own; his father, whose womanizing and petty crime put strain on the family; and his older brother, who was Matt's protector in youth, but who struggled with the long shadow of their father's legacy. Simultaneously inspirational and informative, First Impressions will leave readers with a deeper understanding of the life experiences that prepared Matt for such a divisive moment in television history.

Agnes Grey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min

Exclusively from Audible Drawing heavily from personal experience, Anne Brontë wrote Agnes Grey in an effort to represent the many 19th Century women who worked as governesses and suffered daily abuse as a result of their position. Having lost the family savings on risky investments, Richard Grey removes himself from family life and suffers a bout of depression. Feeling helpless and frustrated, his youngest daughter, Agnes, applies for a job as a governess to the children of a wealthy, upper-class, English family. Ecstatic at the thought that she has finally gained control and freedom over her own life, Agnes arrives at the Bloomfield mansion armed with confidence and purpose. The cruelty with which the family treat her however, slowly but surely strips the heroine of all dignity and belief in humanity. A tale of female bravery in the face of isolation and subjugation, Agnes Grey is a masterpiece claimed by Irish writer, George Moore, to be possessed of all the qualities and style of a Jane Austen title. Its simple prosaic style propels the narrative forward in a gentle yet rhythmic manner which continuously leaves the listener wanting to know more. Anne Brontë, the somewhat lesser known sister, was in fact the first to finish and publish Agnes Grey under the pseudonym of Acton Bell. Charlotte and Emily followed shortly after with Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. As Anne passed away from what is now known to be pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of just 29, she only published one further title; The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. As feminist in nature as Agnes Grey, Anne's brave voice resonates and permeates during one of the most prejudiced and patriarchal times of English history.

Southpaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min

There seemed to be a huge, gaping hole inside of me. I wanted some answers but didn’t know where to look. I felt like there was a huge worldwide conspiracy afoot to keep me in a state of utter confusion, making me so numb that I had no choice but to give up and let the experts get on with it. What a wonderful thing democracy is. You can say what you want, as long as you do as you’re told. It all seemed so superficial, so inadequate. Where would it all lead? Lying in some hospital bed in 30 years’ time, dying of some "disease of civilization"; up to my neck in debt, alcoholism, depression, loneliness, and insanity. There had to be more to life than this. I am talking about liberation here. Freedom from the bondage of self. Freedom from our blinkered, prejudiced, opinionated thoughts. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got. The more stoned I got, the more abstract - yet, somehow, meaningful - it all became.We were one and the same. I was he. He was me. That bald little Chinese monk on TV was beckoning me to follow the path, the way of the warrior, the way of the grasshopper. The monk was right. Change was the natural way of the universe. Things were not always as they appeared to be. A young Scottish boxer breaks away from the shackles of his environment, only to find himself mixed up with heroin smuggling in Asia. A story of violence, prison, fear, and desperation, which leads to inner reflection and finally redemption. Fiction? You wish! Groove Magazine, please.Note: This book contains out-of-date stereotypes and adult themes. Although these are key to the characters and plot, listener discretion is advised. ungekürzt.

It didn’t help that from a young age, James knew he was different. He hid the truth about who he was from himself, and from his family, until a freak accident during a routine simulation right after basic training cost him both legs, and nearly his life.

The Twisted Road of One Writer: The Birth of the Bregdan Chronicles, Volume 13 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min

Some days stand out in your mind so clearly that you can remember every moment. You can remember every smell. Every thought. Every word someone says. You remember the sky was cloudless, and the day was hot and thick with humidity. You remember it was a day that totally changed what you believed your life would be. I had one of those days....My story of being a writer begins the day I vowed I would never write. I’m going to warn you now that this audiobook is not going to be a “straight-line journey”. I don’t believe anyone’s life is a straight journey. I believe we all travel many twisted roads to get to where we are right now. We experience things we don’t believe are significant - only appreciating their significance years later when we are able to look back and see how each event fits into the grand puzzle of our complicated lives. It could be that my journey is more twisted than most, but if that is true, it’s what was necessary to prepare me to write. I savor and appreciate every moment now, even the ones I thought would destroy me. I truly never thought I would never create this audiobook because I am a very private person. A conversation with the person I trust most in the world convinced me to change my mind. She convinced me my fans deserved to hear the story of just how the Bregdan Chronicles came to be. You’ll learn about the day I decided to never write again and the bedridden period of my life that finally made me write my first book. You’ll learn about my years of living with a prejudiced family, enduring the bigotry and rioting of the Charlotte school system in the '60s and '70s, and my defiance that taught me the truth. You’ll learn the family secret that almost devastated me when I discovered it. You’ll learn just why I decided to write about the Civil War and Reconstruction. You’ll learn how long the Bregdan Chronicles will last. Maybe. I’m not sure I know! I look forward to sharing the adventure of this audiobook w ungekürzt. Language: English.
