This week on The Best of Car Talk, Grant's marriage counselor suggested he and his wife turn to Tom and Ray to help settle their auto-marital dispute over keeping the radio on while the car is off. Will Tom and Ray help bring peace, or will Grant's next appearance be on Divorce Court? Elsewhere, Mark decided to replace his working transmission, and has now gone through six failed rebuilds in six months. Does this earn him an equal number of dope slaps? Also, Mabel's Subaru is leaking oil from every orifice; Tulis' mechanic may be relying too much on prisms and crystals trying to fix her Civic's brakes; and, is Jessica car shocking her because of her clothes, her hair, or its ugly upholstery? All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: June 11, 2016] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

The Captivity of the Oatman Girls: The History of the Young Sisters Who Were Abducted by Native Americans in the 1850s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
On the North American continent, Native American tribes carried out abductions against the new European settlers from the time they first set foot on eastern shores. Some of the women taken in the colonial to early American period went on to become respected figures in their new environments, while others lived out their lives as slaves. Various tribes perceived the historical value of women's social personalities through different prisms, and even those groups living in the same region often exhibited dissimilar behavior toward them. For some of the more aggressive tribal societies, to commit atrocities against women and their children engaged the same mindset as that adopted for male-to-male warfare. What European sensibilities failed to grasp, despite the home continent's own lurid history, was that the numerous indigenous cultures of North America were already in the habit of perpetrating such abductions against each other and had for thousands of years. ungekürzt.

Financial Market Bubbles and Crashes
Economists broadly define financial asset price bubbles as episodes in which prices rise with notable rapidity and depart from historically established asset valuation multiples and relationships. Financial economists have for decades attempted to study and interpret bubbles through the prisms of rational expectations, efficient markets, and equilibrium, arbitrage, and capital asset pricing models, but they have not made much if any progress toward a consistent and reliable theory that explains how and why bubbles (and crashes) evolve and can also be defined, measured, and compared. This book develops a new and different approach that is based on the central notion that bubbles and crashes reflect urgent short-side rationing, which means that, as such extreme conditions unfold, considerations of quantities owned or not owned begin to displace considerations of price.- Shop: buecher

Light: A Radiant History from Creation to the Quantum Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
Light begins at Stonehenge, where crowds cheer a solstice sunrise. After sampling myths explaining First Light, the story moves on to early philosophers' queries, then through the centuries, from Buddhist temples to Biblical scripture, when light was the soul of the divine. Battling darkness and despair, Gothic architects crafted radiant cathedrals while Dante dreamed a 'heaven of pure light.' Later, following Leonardo's advice, Renaissance artists learned to capture light on canvas. During the Scientific Revolution, Galileo gathered light in his telescope, Descartes measured the rainbow, and Newton used prisms to solidify the science of optics. But even after Newton, light was an enigma. Particle or wave? Did it flow through an invisible 'ether'? Through the age of Edison and into the age of lasers, Light reveals how light sparked new wonders - relativity, quantum electrodynamics, fiber optics, and more. Although lasers now perform everyday miracles, light retains its eternal allure. "For the rest of my life," Einstein said, "I will reflect on what light is." Light explores and celebrates such curiosity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Butler Murray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/027487/bk_adbl_027487_sample.mp3.

Wishing You the Best of Everything Always , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
Wishing You the Best of Everything Always is a collection of poems by Beverly West Schmidt, inspired by the natural beauty and poetry of all living things. It also includes poems inspired by the author's love of family. Here are some excerpts from a few of her poems: "Perfect Palette" "Amazingly graceful light plays shadow tag with sleepy fog and billowy clouds - awakening autumn's hillside hues...." "Maternal Music" "Softly sweeping, rhythmically sweeping - maternal music continuing - in springtime, in sunshine - in all times. No colorful kerchief needed - flowers provide ample colors and fragrances - maternal memories and dove-soft love - for countless generations to come." "Fox Trot Envy" "She dances divinely on silvered snow, her ebony-tipped auburn coat - sleek in frigid air. Oh, to be so slender. Oh, to be so agile. Oh, to have such shimmering hair - Oh, never-mind. I much prefer my winter den to hers." "As We Journey On" "Let's be sunrise - not sunset. Let's be brightness rising - not dimness declining. Let's be sunrays rosy with joyfulness and awakening. Let's be prisms of infinite inspiration and kaleidoscope colors. Let's be stillness and peace embracing all." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Beverly West Schmidt.

British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Sir Isaac Newton , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
In 1676, Sir Isaac Newton famously wrote in a letter to philosopher Robert Hooke, "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants." By the time he died, Newton had become science's greatest giant, and every scientist who has followed him has stood on his shoulders. Newton is widely considered the most influential scientist in history, best known for the discovery of gravity and the subsequent laws of motion that he theorized. Schoolchildren around the world are still taught the famous legend about an apple falling on Newton's head, but that colorful story and the preoccupation with Newton's work in physics tend to make people forget Newton's work in other fields. Using empirical studies, Newton developed theories about light prisms, how matter cools, and even tried studying and calculating the speed of sound. And those are just the sciences; Newton also helped develop several mathematical fields, including calculus. British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Sir Isaac Newton chronicles the amazing life and legacy of a man whose work helped propel the Scientific Revolution and modern physics, but it also humanizes him and looks at his non-scientific work as well. ungekürzt.
