    Hard Luck Hank: Screw the Galaxy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    Hank is a thug. He knows he's a thug. He has no problem with that realization. In his view the galaxy has given him a gift: a mutation that allows him to withstand great deals of physical trauma. He puts his abilities to the best use possible and that isn't by being a scientist. Besides, the space station Belvaille doesn't need scientists. It is not, generally, a thinking person's locale. It is the remotest habitation in the entire Colmarian Confederation. There is literally no reason to be there. Unless you are a criminal. Because of its location, Belvaille is populated with nothing but crooks. Every day is a series of power struggles between the crime bosses. Hank is an intrinsic part of this community as a premier gang negotiator. Not because he is eloquent or brilliant or an expert combatant, but because if you shoot him in the face he keeps on talking. Hank believes he has it pretty good until a beautiful and mysterious blue woman enters his life with a compelling job offer. Hank and Belvaille, so long out of public scrutiny, suddenly find themselves the epicenter of the galaxy with a lot of very unwelcome attention. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Liam Owen.

    The Art of War Remastered , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    Vietnam vet, award-winning audiobook narrator and producer Mike Vendetti reads Sun Tzu's The Art of War taken from, The Book of War: The Military Classic of the Far East, by Sun Tzu (active sixth-century BCE) and Wu Tzu, translated by Everard Ferguson Calthrop. Written in the fifth century BCE, by Sun Tzu and Wu Tzu, it remains one of the most celebrated works on war in the literature of China. While the chariot is gone and weapons have changed, these ancient masters have held their own. Since they deal chiefly with the fundamental principles of war, with the influence of politics and human nature on military operations, they show most strikingly how unchanging these principles are. Note from the narrator: When I was deployed to Vietnam with the 1st Infantry Division in 1965, we were hungry for information about how to fight the enemy. As I narrated this audiobook, it became evident to me that our enemy followed the rules Sun laid out nearly 3000 years ago while we ignored or were unaware of them. I couldn't help but think of a scene in the film, We Were Soldiers, where the LT and his platoon chased an enemy combatant into the jungle. He was one of my classmates at Infantry OCS. That mistake cost him his life that day. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Vendetti. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/002957/bk_mike_002957_sample.mp3.

    The Figure of the Child in WWI American, British, and Canadian Children's Literature (eBook, ePUB)
    Over the past century, much attention has been paid to the literature written for adults in response to the First World War, but there has been comparatively little consideration of how the war influenced literature for young readers at the time. Based on extensive archival research, this study examines an array of wartime writing for young people and provides a new understanding of the complexities and nuances within children's literature of the period. In its discussion of nearly 150 primary sources from Britain, Canada, and the United States, this volume considers some well-known texts but also brings to light forgotten children's literature of the era, providing new insights into how WWI was presented to the young people whose lives were indelibly impacted by the crisis. Paying special attention to the varied ways in which child figures were depicted, it reflects on what these portrayals reveal about adult conceptualizations of youth, and it considers how these may have shaped young readers' own views of armed conflict, citizenship, and childhood. From the helpless victim to the heroic combatant, child figures appeared in many guises, exposing a range of adult concerns about nation, empire, and children's citizenship. Exploring everything from alphabet books for beginning readers, to recruitment materials for high school students, this book examines works from multiple genres and provides a uniquely comprehensive study of transatlantic children's literature produced during the first global war.

    Completed after eight years of writing and research, Nicole Waybright's memoir tells the true story of her coming-of-age struggles while deployed as an officer on a US Navy destroyer. With heartbreaking and fearless realism, the author chronicles the despair and psychological crisis that she experienced while yet in the early days of a five-year military obligation.Long Way Out, a narrative nonfiction work, is presented in graphic and historically accurate detail based on the author's five years of (honorably discharged) service as a commissioned officer in the Surface Warfare (SWO) Navy, during the era of the first wave of women to be stationed aboard combatant ships. Alongside an account of the author's turbulent psychological journey, Long Way Out reveals the tragic story of the notorious executive officer - the first woman in US history to command an Aegis destroyer and be stripped of command for "cruelty and maltreatment" of her crew - under whom the author served. TIME magazine later called this commander "the Female Captain Bligh."An unlikely turn of events finds the author with a radicalized self-understanding, committed to seeking self-awareness and courageously exploring ways to make her tour successful in the face of tremendous obstacles. Based in Jungian psychology. Includes details of topical issues within US Navy Surface Warfare (SWO) culture.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
