    A Fatal Thaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min
    On her homestead in the middle of twenty million acres of national Park, Aleut P.I. Kate Shugak is caught up in spring cleaning, unaware that just miles away another Park rat is planning a massacre. When the sound of gunfire finally dies away, nine of his neighbors lie dead in the snow. But did he kill all nine, or only eight? The ninth victim was killed with a different weapon. It’s up to Kate and her husky-wolf sidekick Mutt to untangle the life of the dead blonde with the tarnished past and find her killer. It won’t be easy; every second Park rat had a motive. Was it one of her many spurned lovers? Was a wife looking for revenge? Or did a deal with an ivory smuggler go bad? Even Chopper Jim Chopin, the Park’s resident state trooper, had a history with the victim. Kate will need every ounce of determination to find the truth before Alaska metes out its own justice.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin.

    Jack Talent is tormented by the demons of his past. Though Jack loves his position in the SOS, he cannot forget what was done to him. And so he hunts down the remaining demons that tortured him and metes out his own brand of justice as the Bishop of Charing Cross.

    Vaters Tochter
    Marthe Fontane, genannt Mete, war das Lieblingskind des Schriftstellers: intelligent, geistreich, eine glänzende Briefschreiberin. Die kluge Tochter war die Vertraute des Vaters, seine Meerfee, Muse und Scheherazade. Ihr Wesen und ihr Schicksal spiegelte er in Romanen wie Effi Briest, Frau Jenny Treibel und in Figuren wie der Melusine im Stechlin. Die Heiratsabsichten der Zwanzigjährigen erfüllten sich nicht, denn »ohne Mitgift« war die begabte und selberdenkende »Tochter aus gutem Hause« wenig begehrenswert. Sie erlernte den einzigen Beruf, der Frauen zur Verfügung stand, und ging als Erzieherin zu einer adligen Familie aufs Land, kehrte jedoch bald ins Elternhaus zurück und stand dem alternden Vater zur Seite. Doch Metes Verhältnis zur Mutter war gespannt, ihre »Nervosität« und Anfälligkeit nahmen zu; und Fontane beklagte einerseits, daß Mete ihm auf der Tasche lag, gleichzeitig fiel es ihm immer schwerer, sie gehen zu lassen. Er starb vier Tage nach ihrer Verlobung mit einem älteren Witwer. Ob sie in der Ehe ihr Glück fand, ist fraglich. Sie starb 1917 mit sechsundfünzig Jahren nach einem Sturz vom Balkon ihrer Hauses. Zum 200. Geburtstag von Theodor Fontane am 30. Dezember 2019 erzählt die Erfolgsschriftstellerin Dagmar von Gersdorff mitreißend von dieser vielschichtigen, widersprüchlichen Vater-Tochter-Beziehung - und von einer Frau, die in Depressionen und Krankheiten flüchtete, weil sie keine Möglichkeit hatte, ihre reichen Begabungen und Talente anzuwenden.

    The Cancer Chronicles: Unlocking Medicine's Deepest Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
    When the woman he loved was diagnosed with a metastatic cancer, science writer George Johnson embarked on a journey to learn everything he could about the disease and the people who dedicate their lives to understanding and combating it. What he discovered is a revolution under way - an explosion of new ideas about what cancer really is and where it comes from. In a provocative and intellectually vibrant exploration, he takes us on an adventure through the history and recent advances of cancer research that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the disease. Deftly excavating and illuminating decades of investigation and analysis, he reveals what we know and don’t know about cancer, showing why a cure remains such a slippery concept. We follow him as he combs through the realms of epidemiology, clinical trials, laboratory experiments, and scientific hypotheses - rooted in every discipline from evolutionary biology to game theory and physics. Cogently extracting fact from a towering canon of myth and hype, he describes tumors that evolve like alien creatures inside the body, paleo-oncologists who uncover petrified tumors clinging to the skeletons of dinosaurs and ancient human ancestors, and the surprising reversals in science’s comprehension of the causes of cancer, with the foods we eat and environmental toxins playing a lesser role. Perhaps most fascinating of all is how cancer borrows natural processes involved in the healing of a wound or the unfolding of a human embryo and turns them, jujitsu-like, against the body. Throughout his pursuit, Johnson clarifies the human experience of cancer with elegiac grace, bearing witness to the punishing gauntlet of consultations, surgeries, targeted therapies, and other treatments. He finds compassion, solace, and community among a vast network of patients and professionals committed to the fight and wrestles to comprehend the cruel randomness cancer metes out in his own family.

    Parenting 101: A Mother and Teacher of 30 Years Shares Her Best Parenting Lessons to Raise Happy, Healthy, Responsible, and Successful Children from A to Z , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 157min
    Parenting 101 is an alphabetically indexed collection of topics on the subject of raising children. The author covers a range of subjects of interest to parents of children of all ages. In a conversational tone infused with illustrative personal anecdotes, she discusses problem areas, metes out some helpful advice, and shares some of her personal thoughts on various parenting practices and trends. Some of the subjects she covers are how to put an end to whining, teaching kids about money and finances, best discipline practices, and even advice on transitioning into parenting adult children. Although there are some words of warning, primarily, the audiobook is positive and upbeat as it steers the listener through and around common pitfalls in child-rearing and gives encouragement along the way. The listener will not only enjoy, but will also relate to the humorous and sometimes slightly self-effacing stories the author shares. Much of the material will seem like common sense that bears repeating, and some of it may be some new food for thought for the parent who is searching for answers. The audiobook is designed to help parents maneuver through the parenting process without losing their minds, but the primary goal is to help them raise happy, well-adjusted children to become successful, responsible, and mature adults.

    Shogun's Joy of Torture
    From the outrageous imagination of cult director Teruo Ishii (Orgies of Edo, Horrors of Malformed Men) comes this infamous omnibus of three shocking tales of crime and punishment based on true-life documented cases set during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate. The first tale sees the beautiful Mitsu (Masumi Tachibana) going to horrifying lengths to tend to her older brother Shinzo (Teruo Yoshida), a carpenter injured in a work accident, but the law catches up on them and metes out a terrifying retribution after they violate the ultimate taboo. In the second, unfettered passions in a Buddhist nunnery are not allowed to go unpunished after abbess Reiho (Yukie Kagawa) and her attendant Rintoku (Naomi Shiraishi) encounter a virile young monk from a neighboring temple. In the closing segment, a sadistic torturer (Fumio Watanabe) attempts to show a tattoo artist (Asao Koike) how to depict convincing expressions of faces of pain in his work by allowing him to sketch a selection of Europeans as they are tortured for entering Japan with the aim of spreading Christianity. Ishii's notorious portmanteau of Edo-era excess signaled a change in direction for a director until then regarded for his crime and yakuza films, setting the ball rolling on the run of grotesque historical anthologies for which he is now best remembered. Vehemently denounced by the critics of the day, Shogun's Joy of Torture set a new benchmark for the depiction of sex, sadism and depravity in Japanese exploitation, with Ishii staging his elaborate torture methods with an unmatched verve and inventiveness.
