The Folklore of Discworld: Legends, Myths, and Customs from the Discworld with Helpful Hints from Planet Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 779min

Terry Pratchett joins up with a leading folklorist to reveal the legends, myths and customs of Discworld, together with helpful hints from Planet Earth.Most of us grew up having always known when to touch wood or cross our fingers, and what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls a sword from a stone, yet sadly some of these things are beginning to be forgotten. Legends, myths, and fairy tales: Our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves about where we came from and how we got here. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings, which on Earth are creatures of the imagination - like vampires, trolls, witches and, possibly, gods - are real, alive and, in some cases kicking, on the Disc.In The Folklore of Discworld, Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected, celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely imaginative universe of Discworld. ungekürzt.

Trauma Farm: A Rebel History of Rural Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min

An irreverent and illuminating journey through a day in the life of the affectionately named Trauma Farm, with numerous side trips into the natural history of farming. Beginning naked in darkness, Brian Brett moves from the tending of livestock, poultry, orchards, gardens, machinery, and fields to the social intricacies of rural communities and, finally, to an encounter with a magnificent deer in the silver moonlight of a magical farm field. Brett understands both tall tales and rigorous science as he explores the small mixed farm - meditating on the perfection of the egg and the nature of soil while also offering a scathing critique of agribusiness and the horror of modern slaughterhouses. Whether discussing the uses and misuses of gates, examining the energy of seeds, or bantering with his family, farm hands, and neighbors, he remains aware of the miracles of life, birth, and death that confront the rural world every day. Trauma Farm tells a story that's poetic, passionate, practical, and frequently hilarious, providing an unforgettable portrait of one farm and our separation from the natural world, as well as a commonsense analysis of rural life. ungekürzt.

Cupcake Factory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min

Following in the fire trails of his first two raucous assortments of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll stories, author DJ Ass Maggots spins a third literary record off the presses, this one affectionately titled Cupcake Factory. It delivers a playlist of semiautobiographical stories organized into five major parties, and the beat never stops. DJ Maggots bookends the collection with actual conversations absconded from his secret Facebook group, "The Council." The interactions are wildly erratic, adult themed, and hard to follow - which is largely the point. Party number two, "Occupy Wall Street", tells how DJ Maggots wrote the story while protesting the banking bailout. It reveals a previously unseen side of his personality, as he pauses to provide genuine political commentary. Another addition unique to this book arrives in the form of guest contributions from a few of Maggots' cohorts. Everything else is there waiting to be discovered, from Hollywood debauchery to the Burning Man desert festival, with its electronic euphoria and spiritual reflection. So have a seat, and let the DJ spin you a few yarns that will inform, offend, delight, and leave you breathlessly hoping for more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sherie DaBooke.

His 21st birthday might be his last chance to act on his strongest instinct and finally kiss Chase Denney.Chase is RA at the Howling residence affectionately dubbed "the Doghouse", and he takes his job seriously. So seriously that when he realized he was developing feelings for a resident, he forced himself to keep Tanner at a distance. But now that Tanner’s 21, he’s not Chase’s charge any longer. They could be friends or - if Chase is lucky - something more. At least until they both return to their home packs for good, as tradition demands.It would take a miracle for them to get together - especially when the other Doghouse werewolves insist on "helping".Warning: Many frisbees are harmed in this story, forgiveness is not always easier than permission, and the five-second rule does not apply. ungekürzt.

The Spree of '83 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 552min

The Los Angeles Times affectionately referred to Freddy Powers as the "Ol Blue Eyes' of Country Music" and wrote that if you were to "ask country superstars Willie Nelson, George Jones or Merle Haggard (they'll)...tell you that he's one of country music's best-kept secrets".

Now, for the first time, Freddy recounts the entertaining and emotional stories behind his decades-long roller-coaster ride through the music business, his voyage to the top of the charts, and his inspiring battle against Parkinson's disease. Helping Freddy tell his story are exclusive interviews from fellow country music legends Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, John Rich, Tanya Tucker, and The Voice finalist and Powers' protégé Mary Sarah along with a host of other Nashville luminaries.

Messages: The World’s Most Documented Extraterrestrial Contact Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min

This is the startling, bewildering, intriguing, and wildly popular account of Stan Romanek's scientifically supported and well-documented experiences of alien encounters and abductions. It is augmented by lab reports, testimonial from prominent professors, and vivid recollections of photo and video stills shots and refers to proven mathematical equations of which Stan should have no known knowledge. As difficult as Stan finds it, he even shares information regarding his regression sessions, shedding more light on his experiences. Stan's regressions have become a bridge for information about the origins of these strange beings. While the encounters are at times frightening, Stan and his wife, Lisa, take a somewhat lighthearted approach by affectionately naming each creature and not backing down from the frightening experiences. They take every opportunity possible to document whatever they can to help explain these rare and odd occurrences. Romanek resides in Colorado. He has been interviewed on Larry King Live, 20/20, Coast to Coast, and other national television and radio programs. He has been invited to speak at UFO conferences across the country. His unique story has appeared in UFO Magazine, MUFON Journal, and other periodicals. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Pearl.

Pinky: The Story of North Dakota's First Aerial Combat Ace on Guadalcanal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min

American history is full of heroes: individuals who went above and beyond to ensure the safety and freedom of others. In some cases, they paid the ultimate price. This is the story of one such forgotten warrior, a World War II US Navy fighter pilot charged with defending Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, and other lands against Japanese air attacks with the Cactus Air Force. He was Lieutenant Francis Register, also known as “Pinky”—and while he did not survive to speak of his actions during the war, this navy ace fought for his country to the point of exhaustion and beyond. His bravery earned him a Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, and a Purple Heart, the latter three awarded posthumously. Fortunately for listeners, Lt. Register went against wartime regulations and kept a diary, documenting his daily life, fears, and frustrations while serving in the war. Along with interviews and surviving family members, this diary was used as one of the primary sources for this valuable look at a real American hero, affectionately penned by triple e-Lit award winning author William Franklin Hook, MD, author of Never Subdued and Desert Storm Diary. ungekürzt.
