My Secret Love Contract with a Part Wolf Shifter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
I'm about to have quite the transformative sexual experience.... For years now, I've harbored a secret gay crush on my best friend, Kyle. The two of us have been extremely close since high school, but all this time, I don't think he's had any inkling whatsoever as to my sexual orientation. He's about to get married now, and I decide to act at last in fear that I might never again have the opportunity to do so. The two of us are on a camping trip together, drunk as skunks, when I seduce him in our tent, and the two of us make sticky, passionate love. When I wake up, however, my long pined-for lover is gone, along with all his possessions, and I immediately scramble from the tent, knowing that I might have sabotaged our relationship forever. But when I emerge from the tent, I'm stunned out of my wits to see a fully grown grizzly bear looming over me, snarling, and ready to rip me to pieces. My only salvation comes at the hand of an intervening werewolf, who drives away the bear, presumably killing him somewhere off in the woods. Then, my savior returns, fully human again, and it turns out that I'm expected to offer my own version of bodily payment in return for his heroic efforts....

The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
Amedeo Kaplan seems just like any other new kid who has moved into the town of St. Malo, Florida, a navy town where new faces are the norm. But Amedeo has a secret, a dream: More than anything in the world, he wants to discover something, a place, a process, even a fossil - some treasure that no one realizes is there until he finds it. And he would also like to discover a true friend to share these things with. William Wilcox seems like an unlikely candidate for friendship, an aloof boy who is all edges and who owns silence the way other people own words. When Amedeo and William find themselves working together on a house sale for Amedeo's eccentric neighbor, Mrs. Zender, Amedeo has an inkling that both his wishes may come true. For Mrs. Zender's mansion is crammed with memorabilia of her long life, and there is a story to go with every piece. Soon the boys find themselves caught up in one particular story: a story that links a sketch, a young boy's life, an old man's reminiscence, and a painful secret dating back to the outrages of Nazi Germany. It's a story that will take them to the edge of what they know about heroism and the mystery of the human heart. Two-time Newbery winner E. L. Konigsburg spins a magnificent tale of art, discovery, friendship, history, and truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Herrmann.

Science in the Twentieth Century: A Social-Intellectual Survey, Hörbuch, Digital, 1064min
As the 19th century drew to a close, the age-old quest to understand the physical world appeared to be complete, except for a few minor details. In fact, Albert Michelson, the first American to win a Nobel Prize in the sciences, noted that, "It seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established." And he was far from alone among his peers. Scientists in 1900 had no inkling of the other mind-boggling developments that lay in wait: plate tectonics, genetic engineering, space probes, nanotechnology, big bang theory, electronic computers, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, and many other astounding products of the human mind. Indeed, by the end of the 20th century, nearly every 19th-century theory of natural and social phenomena would be overthrown or superseded. This dynamic transformation has not been a matter of revolution, but of evolution, as you'll learn in this fascinating 36-lecture exploration of scientific growth filled with ideas, anecdotes, and insights. You'll see how 20th-century scientists have built on crucial 19th-century concepts such as energy, natural selection, atoms, fields, and waves to assemble a body of knowledge to stun even the most farsighted scientific thinkers of that not-too-distant past. You'll come away with a new appreciation of how scientific knowledge expands, as Professor Goldman addresses a tremendous range of scientific and technological topics, including science and society, physics, mathematics, psychology, cosmology, telecommunications, meteorology, and archaeology.

Thanatos: Guardian Security Shadow World, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
It wasn’t until people started shooting at her that Eve Salutem had an inkling she was anything other than an elementary school teacher suffering from a rare form of cancer. Discovering she was a walking source of the vaccine for lethal bioweapons and that her previous 27 years were based on lies, lies, and more lies shattered her fragile world and threatened her sanity.She wanted to lock the doors, close the shades and hide in the closet, but he wouldn’t let her. According to him - a guy she’d first encountered next to the fresh fish case in the grocery store for Pete's sake - he was there to save her from some unknown bad guys and her own government.He didn’t do personal protection - he assassinated people. He didn’t work domestic ops - he was strictly foreign. This babysitting gig in Rochester, Minnesota, surveilling a woman who may or may not be an innocent victim was absolutely not in his job description. Dragging her ass across half of America on a forced road trip infuriated him even further. He didn’t need or want to spend days locked in a car with a sexy young woman whose bucket list included drinking champagne, getting a puppy, and being kissed. How had this become his life? Her purity and goodness bordered on irresistible, but if he touched her, he’d leave a black smudge on her soul. In Eve, he saw the goodness of humanity, and Thanatos would storm the gates of hell to protect her; but a creature of purity and light could never belong to the assassin who was named after a God of Death. ungekürzt.

Western Starter Library (Annotated): Classic Western Box Sets Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1791min
This Raging Bull Publishing Box Set contains three classic Western books, including: The Outlet - Andy Adams (1905) In 1905, The Outlet was published and introduced a rarely explored side of cattle herding, the business side. There was corruption in business all over the country at the time, and this novel revealed many problems that stripped away the layers of glamour that were associated with life in the West. Through the views of the narrator, a young cowboy by the name of Tom Quirk, it shows that cattle ranching was just another means of survival in a dangerous land. The combined worth of the cattle driven in the novel is astounding and the difficulties that the cattle traders faced shocked many of the readers. Chip of the Flying U - B M Bower (1906) All of the boys at the Flying U grumbled - among themselves - when they heard that the Old Man's sister was coming to spend the summer. They didn't want a woman at the ranch, and certainly not one who had just received a medical degree! But if they'd had an inkling of what was really going to happen, they would have done more than grumble. Betty Zane - Zane Grey (1903) Inspired by the life and adventures of his own great-great grandmother, Betty Zane was Zane Grey's first novel and launched his career as a master writer of rousing frontier and Western adventures. Betty Zane is the story of the events culminating in the last battle of the American Revolution, when 200 Redcoats from British-controlled Detroit along with 400 Shawnee Indian attacked the small, wood-palisaded Ford Henry on the western frontier. The heroine of the battle - a young, spunky, and beautiful frontier girl - was Betty Zane. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Benoit.

Green Eyed Monster: The Shanda Sharer Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
It starts with a thrumming in Shanda's ears, a sound very much like the thick, coursing current of a river swelling its banks. Gradually she becomes aware that the frantic pulse is not water but blood rushing through her veins, echoing in the pitch-black cavern of her inner ear. The deafening thunder grows louder, terror wrapping its icy fingers around her pounding heart until she fears she may drown in her own blood. Louder and fiercer, it doubles and triples in intensity. "Abruptly, all falls silent. "Except for the laughter. "Still entombed in flames, she gasps for breath, but instead of fresh air she swallows fire. "And then it starts. "A scream pierces her to the core. "And then another. Another. 'Her own screaming as she knows she is burning alive. "And in the distance, but still audible, the laughter again. "Then, mercifully, she lapses into unconsciousness." The nightmare that 12-year-old Shanda Sharer had to endure was beyond horrifying. Kidnapped and beaten, stabbed, tortured, and then burned alive by her assailants, one can only imagine the horror she suffered in the last moments of her life. Her attackers, four teenagers who, following the instructions of a girl who was motivated just by pure, selfish jealousy - gladly joined in the horrible murder plot, without even an inkling of sorrow or remorse for their victim. Based on the true story of 12-year-old Shanda Sharer, whose murder gained nationwide notoriety, Green Eyed Monster provides a terrifying glimpse into the minds of her killers, young girls who had led such horrible home lives, themselves victims of sexual and ritual abuse, and eventually descended into a life of sexual promiscuity, drugs, alcohol, self-harm, and physical violence. ungekürzt.

The Prince of Frogtown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
In this final volume of the beloved American saga that began with All Over but the Shoutin' and continued with Ava's Man, Rick Bragg closes his circle of family stories with an unforgettable tale about fathers and sons inspired by his own relationship with his 10-year-old stepson.He learns, right from the start, that a man who chases a woman with a child is like a dog who chases a car and wins. He discovers that he is unsuited to fatherhood, unsuited to fathering this boy in particular, a boy who does not know how to throw a punch and doesn't need to; a boy accustomed to love and affection rather than violence and neglect; in short, a boy wholly unlike the child Rick once was, and who longs for a relationship with Rick that Rick hasn't the first inkling of how to embark on. With the weight of this new boy tugging at his clothes, Rick sets out to understand his father, his son, and himself.The Prince of Frogtown documents a mesmerizing journey back in time to the lush Alabama landscape of Rick's youth, to Jacksonville's 100-year-old mill, the town's blight and salvation; and to a troubled, charismatic hustler coming of age in its shadow, Rick's father, a man bound to bring harm even to those he truly loves. And the book documents the unexpected corollary to it, the marvelous journey of Rick's later life: a journey into fatherhood, and toward a child for whom he comes to feel a devotion that staggers him.With candor, insight, tremendous humor, and the remarkable gift for descriptive storytelling on which he made his name, Rick Bragg delivers a brilliant and moving rumination on the lives of boys and men, a poignant reflection on what it means to be a father and a son. ungekürzt.
