    The Wedding Officer, Hörbuch, Digital, 368min
    A sumptous tale of food to heal the deepest wounds, of the hungers of war and the bittersweet nature of love.Naive and already war-weary, James Gouding takes up a position in Naples in 1943. What he doesn't anticipate is that this involves a limited menu of fried Spam fritters and interrogating the would-be Italian fiancees of members of the armed forces. James's chance at true heroism arrives when a German tank is sighted and he is caught in its path. However, it is the imperious and dogmatic Livia who opens the hatch and yells at him to stop being such an idiot. Livia gladly becomes cook, translator, and general factotum to James. The two begin to fall in love, but the eruption of Vesuvius triggers a chain of explosive events that will force the two to flee behind enemy lines and will alter their lives immeasurably.

    Overdue: Birth, Burnout and a Blueprint for a Better NHS , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    Amity Reed became a midwife to serve women, but the reality of working in overstretched and underfunded NHS maternity services soon shattered her illusions. She’s not alone - for every 30 midwives that train, 29 will leave the profession.Overdue is both the devastating personal story behind the statistics, and a call for change in the NHS. Real-life stories capture the moments at the heart of midwifery: life, death, birth, tragedy, and joy and are embedded in a clear-sighted examination of what is working - and what isn’t - in maternity services.The result is a book that asks - and tries to answer - questions that are at the heart of many people’s working lives: how can we follow our calling, provide for our families, and keep ourselves healthy, if the workplace and its systems are working against us? ungekürzt.

    A Better Future: How We Fix the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    This book provides actionable solutions to most of the problems facing the world today, and it all starts with direct democracy. This revolutionary system of government aims to take the power away from short-sighted and self-serving politicians and bring the power to the people through online voting. We must change this broken system and evolve democracy to what it can be in this technological age. This book also examines how we can fix problems ranging from the environment, energy, food production, money, taxes, the military, prison reform.... The list goes on. These problems will only be fixed if we take the power into our own hands in order to create the world we want. Politicians, and the insatiably greedy that control them, must not be allowed to destroy our countries or our planet any longer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tyler True.

    Jules Verne’s classic underwater tale. A mysterious sea monster, theorized by some to be a giant narwhal, is sighted by ships of several nations; an ocean liner is also damaged by the creature.

    Signed, Picpus: Inspector Maigret, Book 23 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 232min
    Maigret dismantles an intricate network of lies stretching from Paris to Nice. Mechanically, he had put his pince-nez down on the blotter and looked at it there with his large, short-sighted eyes. It is at that moment that the strange thing happens. One of the lenses, acting as a mirror, reflected the criss-cross, hatched ink marks which had dried on the blotter, and he could just make out a couple of words. This novel has been published in previous translations as To Any Lengths and Maigret and the Fortuneteller. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories has made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Armstrong.

    A to Z of the Unexplained: A Primer for Young Readers Interested in Strange Phenomena , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
    Parents, do you have a child in your family who is particularly interested in flying saucers, ghosts, monsters, and other bizarre topics that fall outside the normal school curriculum? If so, congratulations. Chances are you have a son or daughter of above average IQ. The greatest minds of the 20th century - people like Einstein, Lilly, Heisenberg, Goodall, and Tesla - accomplished what they did because they were willing to "think outside the box" and explore the fringe regions of what we call "reality". Quantum physics and interspecies communication were "nonsense" and "mumbo-jumbo" before these far-sighted individuals had the courage to stand against prevailing scientific dogma. If your child is interested in this book, there's no guarantee he or she will be the next Einstein or Goodall, but it's a pretty good indication of blossoming intellect and curiosity. These should be nurtured. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Terence West. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/072972/bk_acx0_072972_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
