The E-cig Way to Stop Smoking: How to Stop Smoking With Electronic Cigarettes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min
A smoker for 26 years, David Rowland blows the holes right out of the cold turkey theory. In his attempts to quit smoking, Rowland signed up for just about everything going. Patches, gum, someone putting a needle in his ear. In the end he realized that you may as well put a potato in your ear for all the good it would do you. He tried cold turkey and failed miserably. But in his long history of trying to give up the weed, Rowland realized that although he wasn’t finding the nicotine replacement therapy to be useful, he knew that cold turkey was too much pressure for not only him, but many other smokers too. Technology came to the rescue. With the invention of E-cigs (electronic cigarettes), Rowland found a tool that would provide the ideal intermediate stage to quit between smoking and non-smoking. The problem for most quitters was that there were no instructions with an E-cig telling you how to use it to stop smoking. Rowland uses his years of experience as an attempted quitter and presents it for you in a compact method that allows you to give up cigarettes for good in two weeks. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Lady and the Panda: The True Adventures of the First American Explorer to Bring Back China's Most Exotic Animal, Hörbuch, Digital, 297min
Ruth Harkness was the toast of 1930s New York, a dress designer newly married to a wealthy adventurer, Bill Harkness. Just weeks after their wedding, however, Bill decamped for China in hopes of becoming the first Westerner to capture a giant panda, an expedition on which many had embarked and failed miserably. Bill was also to fail in his quest, dying horribly alone in China and leaving his widow heartbroken and adrift. And so Ruth made the fateful decision to adopt her husband's dream as her own and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. Traveling across some of the toughest terrain in the world, the voyage took months to complete and cost Ruth everything she had. But when, almost miraculously, she returned from her journey with a baby panda named Su Lin in her arms, the story became an international sensation and made the front pages of newspapers around the world. Drawing extensively on American and Chinese sources, including diaries, scores of interviews, and previously unseen intimate letters from Ruth Harkness, Vicki Constantine Croke has fashioned a captivating and richly textured narrative about a woman ahead of her time. Part Myrna Loy, part Jane Goodall, Ruth Harkness is a trailblazing figure. And her story makes for an unforgettable, deeply moving adventure. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Van Dyck.

The Little Amish Matchmaker: A Christmas Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
Simon can't stop thinking about the pretty Amish teacher at the local one-room school. But he's ignored the sparks between them because he's so shy. So Simon's little brother, Isaac, takes matters into his own hands. He's determined to give his brother the best Christmas present ever - a date with his favorite teacher. Amish novelist Byler brings her tender humor and skillful observation of family relationships to this holiday story. "I love Isaac's self-confidence and scheming as he prods his reluctant older brother," she says, smiling knowingly about the characters she's created. Byler takes her listener straight into the Amish world as Isaac is both charmed and annoyed by his too talkative but quite bright Mam. He can barely tolerate his little nieces and nephews, who substantially outnumber the grown-ups when the whole family gets together. And he loves his humble circumspect Dat, although he isn't always pleased by how well Isaac sweeps the forebay in the barn. As anticipation for the Christmas program at the schoolhouse builds, Isaac cares for troubled Ruthie, who stutters miserably when she practices her poem. And he wonders how much he'll have to help his brother, Sim, act on his growing affection for Teacher Catherine! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mandi Lee.

Maxed Out: American Moms on the Brink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
Katrina Alcorn was a 37-year-old mother with a happy marriage and a thriving career when one day, on the way to Target to buy diapers, she had a breakdown. Her carefully built career shuddered to a halt, and her journey through depression, anxiety, and insomnia - followed by medication, meditation, and therapy - began. Alcorn wondered how a woman like herself, with a loving husband, a supportive boss, three healthy kids, and a good income, was unable to manage the demands of having a career and a family. Over time, she realized that she wasn't alone. As she questioned other working moms, she realized that many women were struggling to do it all, crashing, and feeling as if they were somehow failing as a result. Mothers are the breadwinners in two-thirds of American families, yet the American workplace is uniquely hostile to the needs of parents. Weaving in surprising research about the dysfunction between the careers and home lives of working mothers, as well as the consequences to women's health, Alcorn tells a deeply personal story about "having it all,” failing miserably, and what comes after. Ultimately, she offers readers a vision for a healthier, happier, and more productive way to live and work. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katrina Alcorn.

High School Dropout to Harvard: My Life with Dyslexia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min
School was a struggle for John D. Rodrigues. He knew he was smart, but teachers and classmates didn’t believe him. All they saw was a kid who wore freakish orthopedic shoes, couldn’t sit still in class, and struggled miserably with reading. At age 16, John had had enough. He dropped out, certain he’d never return to school. Thanks to a chance encounter, John discovered ice sculpting. Here, finally, was something the young man was good at, and he took to it passionately. His talent for releasing beauty from massive blocks of ice led to jobs working in famous hotels and on cruise ships. He was happy, but his failure to graduate tugged at the back of his mind. The failure, as it turned out, wasn’t John’s. It was the fault of the school system that had never diagnosed his dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Armed with strategies that played to his strengths, John passed remedial classes in community college and then went on to study at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley. In High School Dropout to Harvard, John candidly recounts his inspirational journey and dispenses hard-won, practical advice for others who may be facing similar challenges. ungekürzt.

Sleepwalker: The Mysterious Makings and Recovery of a Somnambulist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
I came to in the middle of it, like waking inside a horror movie, silent scream and all. Eyes wide open. I was standing at an open window, staring at the dizzying curve of Riverside Drive, five floors below. I'd stopped, somehow, poised, about to jump. Growing up the good girl in an Irish American family full of drinkers and terrible sleepers, Kathleen Frazier was 12 when her seemingly innocent sleepwalking turned dangerous. Over the next few years, she was a popular A+ student by day, the star of her high school musical. At night she both longed for and dreaded sleep. Frazier moved to Manhattan in the 1980s, hoping for a life in the theater but getting a run of sleepwalking performances instead. Efforts to abate her malady with drinking failed miserably. She became promiscuous, looking for nighttime companionship. Could a bed partner save her from flinging herself down a flight of stairs or out an open window? Exhaustion stalked her, and rest and love were seemingly out of reach. This is the journey Frazier illuminates in her intimate memoir. While highlighting her quest to beat her sleep terrors and insomnia, this is ultimately a story of health, hope, and redemption. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen Frazier.
