Finnegan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
Is God in control of every single detail of every particular thing in our connected lives? Well, this novel will not answer that question for you. I suppose that's a bit unfortunate. It will, however, cause you to ponder the mysteries of a Sovereign God, and potentially cause you to rethink everything. This novel is a story about Finnegan Barrett, a young man from South Dakota who was awarded the Bronze Star after the war. In spite of the darkness that haunted him; that wanted the death of him physically and spiritually, he found and fell in love with Nora Callin, a college girl from the Georgia coast. In his hometown, Finnegan is recognized as a hero, and rightfully so. But despite this good-boy reputation, inwardly he determines that he is nothing more than a coward, one that is capable of the very worst. The contrast of what his life becomes, versus, what he wanted from the onset, is identifiable by most every listener... in every walk of life, at least for the listener who is honest with him or herself. Hold on as you and Finnegan will enter the battlefield of life; through the wicked mind of a Dark Serpent, all the while searching for the King's grace. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Scary Monsters and Super Freaks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1166min
Mike Sager is to drugs, porn, and crimes of desperate delusion what Dominic Dunne is to the society murder. In addition to his long-classic Rolling Stone story "The Devil and John Holmes" (which helped inspire the Val Kilmer film Wonderland) and his groundbreaking GQ piece about murdered Irish investigative reporter Veronica Guerin (also the subject of a major film starring Cate Blanchett), Scary Monsters and Super Freaks is a wonderful rogue's gallery of up-close pieces about the most public failures of the American dream. From Rick James and his drug-fueled detour into white slavery to the life and suicide of porn starlet Savannah, from deep inside the beating of Rodney King and the Heaven's Gate cult suicides to Chuck Berry's sexual predilections, this book brings to high-profile true crime a highly identifiable voice and style. Currently Esquire's Writer-at-Large, Sager takes us along for the ride with a raft of other figures including the late NWA Rapper Easy E. Winner, the FBI agent who fell in love with his informant, and the highest ranking DEA agent to be busted for drug trafficking. This is a brilliant debut collection by one of America's most respected and stylish crime writers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Orlando.

The Breakthrough Company: How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
The vast majority of small businesses stay small - and not by choice. Only the most savvy and persistent (a tiny one tenth of one percent) break through to annual sales above $250 million. In The Breakthrough Company, Keith McFarland pinpoints how everyday companies become extraordinary, showing that luck is a negligible factor. Rather, breakthrough success turns out to be associated with a clearly identifiable set of strategies and skills that anyone in any business can emulate, from small startup to industry leader. Encouraged by experts such as business legend Peter Drucker and Good to Great author Jim Collins that identify the drivers that enable a company to push past the entrepreneurial phase, McFarland spent five years building and analyzing the world's largest growth-company performance database and interviewing more than 1,500 growth-company executives on four continents. His goal was simple: to identify the secrets of breakthrough. The Breakthrough Company is the result. Winnowing a study pool of more than 7,000 companies down to nine that have made the transition to major-player status, McFarland highlights real-world tools and myth-busting insights that can be used by anyone wanting his or her business to join this exclusive circle. ungekürzt.

The Case of the Running Man (eBook, ePUB)
I think murder is practically a certainty.William Weddall was eccentric even in Ludovic Traver's wide experience. There was about him an aura of secrecy and subterfuge at odds with the quiet atmosphere of his estate. Hinchbrook Hall, show-place for his antiques and paintings. He had sent Travers to Paris on the seemingly pointless errand of mailing a letter. And Travers later saw him deliberately miss a boat.Then William Weddall plunged from a window to his death. A running man was seen leaving Hinchbrook Hall after the fatal accident, a man identifiable only by the scar on his chin. Weddall's American chauffeur, Sam, asked Travers to investigate. It was Sam's guess that Weddall was pushed. Suave and urbane, with a connoisseur's eye for antiques, Travers stepped in.An unwholesome nephew, an ambitious housekeeper, faked-antique swindles in a Bohemian underworld-these are the elements that combine to give Christopher Bush's 52nd mystery an electric atmosphere of suspense.The Case of the Running Man was originally published in 1958. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Throws incidental information on art and antiques into an ingenious plot as Ludovic Travers pursues the murderer of a collector."

Ride the Wild Plains: The Western Classic by the Spur Award Winning Writer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
FRAMED as a horse thief, Maffitt went through hell to reach Mexico – Then found he'd ridden straight into hell!Nelson Nye, the rancher writer, brings his Spur Award-winning gift for describing the Western landscape with accuracy few others ever achieved, creating fresh new plots, and engaging, identifiable characters, to this unforgettable novel of an innocent man forced to ride the wild plains for his life. It wasn't a journey that anyone would make willingly. But Dale Maffitt had little choice. Wanted for hanging on a trumped-up charge of horse-stealing, trailed by a relentless posse, Maffitt's only hope lay in Mexico. To live, he must ride fast and hard over the scorching Texas plains and beat the posse to the border. Once across, he would be safe from arrest, and the posse would have to turn back. So Dale Maffitt begins a grueling race across one of most merciless, drought stricken patches of Hell in the USA - the Texas barrens - trying to stay one step ahead of the posse. Every mile of the way was a battle with pitiless heat, hunger, thirst, perilous storms, and often the posse itself. What he did not know was that if at last he made it to Mexico, it would only be to discover true Hell had always waited ahead of him - and not behind! ungekürzt. Language: English.

The World's Greatest Civilizations: The History and Culture of the Olmec , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
The Olmec people are widely recognized as the first major civilization of Mexico and are thus generally regarded as the mother civilization of Mesoamerica, making them the people from which all subsequent Mesoamerican cultures derived. In fact the term Olmec is thought to have originated with the Aztec people, as Olmec in their Nahuatl language means “the rubber people”, a reference to the inhabitants of the land from which they accessed rubber. By and large the Olmec culture is perhaps best identifiable by their so-called colossal heads, mammoth basalt head statues wearing helmetlike headdresses found throughout Olmec habitation sites. Around 2500 BC the Olmec settled primarily along Mexico's Gulf Coast in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico (in the modern-day States of Veracruz and Tabasco), and they flourished during North America's Prehistoric Indian Formative period from about 1700 to 400 BC. Their direct cultural contributions were still evident as late as AD 300. Among Mesoamerican scholars, the Formative period is subdivided into the Preclassic (Olmec period), Classic (Maya period), and Postclassic (Toltec and Aztec periods). The Olmec’s agricultural abilities sustained them and ensured their power and influence for over a millennium. They produced corn/maize, squash, and other plant foods in such quantities that they were afforded the manpower to build great monuments and ceremonial centers to further promote their cultural identity. ungekürzt.

Time Pieces: A Dublin Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
From the internationally acclaimed and Man Booker prize-winning author of The Sea and the Benjamin Black mysteries - a vividly evocative memoir that unfolds around the author's recollections, experience, and imaginings of Dublin. As much about the life of the city as it is about a life lived, sometimes, in the city, John Banville's "quasi-memoir" is as layered, emotionally rich, witty, and unexpected as any of his novels. Born and bred in a small town a train ride away from Dublin, Banville saw the city as a place of enchantment when he was a child, a birthday treat, the place where his beloved, eccentric aunt lived. And though, when he came of age and took up residence there, and the city became a frequent backdrop for his dissatisfactions (not playing an identifiable role in his work until the Quirke mystery series, penned as Benjamin Black), it remained in some part of his memory as fascinating as it had been to his seven-year-old self. And as he guides us around the city, delighting in its cultural, architectural, political, and social history, he interweaves the memories that are attached to particular places and moments. The result is both a wonderfully idiosyncratic tour of Dublin, and a tender yet powerful ode to a formative time and place for the artist as a young man. ungekürzt. Language: English.
