Howard Marks' Book of Dope Stories, Hörbuch, Digital, 185min
Howard Marks' Book of Dope Stories will take you on an electrifying journey through the discovery, consumption, and trade of mind-altering substances. Since the Stone Age, drugs have been sniffed to induce sleep, mixed to cure ills, swallowed to stimulate creativity, snorted to increase sexuality, popped for the hell of it and smoked to see God. Natural or synthesized, they have been smuggled for all kinds of reasons, from saving the world to becoming stinking rich. Blamed for deaths, wars, suicides, collapses of governments, multiple crashes, individual crises, anarchy and chaos, they have also been praised for opening minds and expanding consciousness. They've been worshipped and demonised, venerated and chastised, force-fed and forbidden. Every society has had its intoxicant, be it sacrament or scourge. They have also become irreversibly interwoven with politics, sex, business, religion, and rock-and-roll, providing writers, whether emerging from the ancient classical world or the street laboratory of today, with both inspiration and challenge.

The Beatles Play Shea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
The Beatles' third tour of North America was nearly a year in the planning. By late 1964, manager Brian Epstein knew that they were not only the biggest act in his stable: they had become the biggest act on earth. America worshipped them. Somewhere different for the start of this tour, in New York - somewhere appropriately massive - had to be found. It was: a baseball stadium in Flushing, Queens. On August 15, 1965, The Beatles played the concert of their lives there. This is that story. Here also are the huge strides in writing, musicianship, and recording the group made in the 12 months or so leading up to Shea Stadium. Some of this was played at the gig but little above the screams was heard. The Beatles at Shea 50 years ago remains, nonetheless, a watershed 1960s moment: the climax in the live career of the greatest quartet the world has known. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Delusion of Satan: The Full Story of the Salem Witch Trials , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min
During the bleak winter of 1692 in the rigid Puritan community of Salem Village, Massachusetts, a group of young girls began experiencing violent fits, allegedly tormented by Satan and the witches who worshipped him. From the girls' initial denouncing of an Indian slave, the accusations soon multiplied. In less than two years, 19 men and women were hanged, one was pressed to death, and over a hundred others were imprisoned and impoverished. This evenhanded and now-classic history illuminates the horrifying episode with visceral clarity, from the opportunistic Putnam clan, who fanned the crisis to satisfy personal vendettas and greed, to four-year-old "witch" Dorcas Good, who was chained to a dank prison wall in darkness till she went mad. By placing the distant period of the Salem witch trials in the larger context of more contemporary eruptions of mass hysteria and intolerance, the author has created a work as thought-provoking as it is emotionally powerful. ungekürzt.

Night Fire: Night Trilogy, Book 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 311min
Dear Listener, I began writing the Night Trilogy in 1987. I’m very proud of all three novels. Perhaps Night Fire is my favorite simply because it’s so different from the other two. In Night Fire, Arielle Leslie is a sixteen-year-old forced to wed Paisley Cochrane,a sadistic old man who abuses her. When he dies, she believes herself free. But she’s not. Burke Drummond, Earl of Ravensworth, a young man she’d worshipped three years before, is home from the wars, and he wants her. Burke and Arielle are two people who have touched me deeply. Together they faced problems and obstacles never spoken of in the Regency time. If you haven’t read Night Fire, do give it a try. See if you don’t agree with me that Arielle and Burke are two very special people. Catherine Coulter Don’t miss any of Catherine Coulter's Night Trilogy: Night Fire, Night Shadow, and Night Storm.

Marwan: The Autobiography of a 9/11 Terrorist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
How did an Egyptian city planner, a Yemeni religious fanatic, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex (not Allah), and a young student of aircraft design who went to a Christian school in Lebanon - four very different men with very different ideas - get involved in flying the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it? Marwan, by Aram Schefrin, puts the reported facts together and fictionally fills in the details: from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments just before the airliners they were to hijack took off. You'll come to know the participants and how they were motivated, what their personal lives were like, and the roles they played in the plan. You will learn to know them as people, not simply as "terrorists", because, in the author's view, you must understand your enemies if you want to defend yourself. ungekürzt. Language: English.
