    The Brave Athlete: Calm the F--k Down and Rise to the Occasion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
    The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen; you get crazy nervous before a race, you choke under pressure, you quit when the going gets tough, you make dumb mistakes, you worry about how you look. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? What if you could feel confident, suffer like a hero, and handle any stress? You can. The Brave Athlete from Dr. Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson will help you take control of your brain so you can train harder, race faster, and better enjoy your sport. Dr. Marshall is a sport psychology expert who trains the brains of elite professional athletes. Paterson is a three-time world champion triathlete and coach. Together, they offer this innovative brain training guide that is the first to draw from both clinical science and real-world experience with athletes. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Are Humans Innately Good?, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, it's a question that has kept generations of philosophers and college students up at night: are humans innately good? Ron Shaich, the founder of Panera Bread Company, has come up with a new business model: cafes where customers pay what they want or can afford. He tells Jim Fleming why he expects Panera Cares Cafes to work. Next, for centuries religions set moral boundaries. In his new book The Moral Landscape prominent atheist Sam Harris argues that science should set them. He tells Steve Paulson there are right and wrong answers and they are found in science. Then, primatologists and evolutionary biologists often point to chimpanzees to explain human nature. They are our closest living non-human relatives, and their behavior is remarkably similar to ours. But we have another family of ape relatives, the bonobos, who are gentle, pacifist, and matriarchal. Researcher Vanessa Woods, author of Bonobo Handshake, tells Anne Strainchamps we all need to ask ourselves are we chimp or bonobo? After that, if evolution is a game called survival of the fittest, how do you explain altruism? The "altruism equation" is a mathematical rule discovered by George Price. A brilliant and remarkable man, he eventually gave up everything he owned and became homeless. Biographer Oren Harmen, whose new book is The Price of Altruism, tells Steve Paulson George Price really wanted to know why people help each other? And finally, religious historian Karen Armstrong doesn't like the either/or, good/evil dichotomy. She believes we are hard-wired to be both selfish and kind. Her new book is called 12 Steps to Compassion and she tells Anne Strainchamps the cornerstone of everything is the Golden Rule. [Broadcast Date: February 1, 2012] Language: English.

    Chain Thinking: A Shep Harrington Smalltown Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 390min
    Syndey Vail, once a beautiful soap opera star, now has a passion for championing the rights of animals - but she keeps the controversial methods of her cause as shrouded as she keeps her partially disfigured face. Sydney enters lawyer-cum-detective Shep Harrington’s life in a cloud of dust and vanishes just as quickly, leaving behind two very different but strangely connected things: A chimpanzee and a murder.The chimpanzee is the young Kikora, whom Sydney liberated from her confining cage in a testing lab at DMI - a mega-medical conglomerate led by the hard-driving Howard Doring, who “apparently believes that the human animal has every right to exploit all living things”. At DMI, she and other chimps were used to test a new anti-obesity pill. The murdered victim, killed by a blow to the head, is Dr. Celia Stone, the DMI researcher in charge of Kikora.Soon Shep realizes that Kikora, left in his initially unwilling care, is not only stolen property, but the longer he keeps her, the more threatened his own freedom becomes - and the more often tough questions race through his head. What makes an animal property? What is the source of “human” rights? What about an animal whose only difference from humans is 1.6 percent of DNA, that can empathize and suffer like humans? The questions confuse Shep, who’s never had to think hard about them before.And the only answers he seems to find lie in the big brown eyes of a chimp called Kikora.Chain Thinking is a whodunit with a heart and a mystery with a message. Once the mystery is solved, there’s a whole lot more left to think about. Shep finds his answers. Will you find yours? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dallas Escue.

    Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt: Frank Einstein, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 165min
    More clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await listeners in book four of the New York Times best-selling Frank Einstein chapter book series from the mad scientist team of Jon Scieszka and Brian Biggs. The perfect combination to engage and entertain listeners, the series features real science facts with adventure and humor, making these books ideal for STEM education. This latest installment examines the quest to unlock the power behind the science of all connected life. Kid genius and inventor Frank Einstein loves figuring out how the world works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part imagination, and definitely unusual. In the series opener, an uneventful experiment in his garage lab, a lightning storm, and a flash of electricity brought Frank's inventions - the robots Klink and Klank - to life! Not exactly the ideal lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his inventions. In the fourth book in the series, Frank - along with his best friend, Watson, and Klink and Klank - once again finds himself in competition with his classmate and archrival, T. Edison, and his sign-language-speaking sidekick, Mr. Chimp, over Frank's newest invention: the EvoBlaster Belt, which allows the user to evolve and devolve into other forms of life, blasting from one species to another. Integrating real science facts with wacky humor, a silly cast of characters, and science fiction, this uniquely engaging series is an irresistible chemical reaction for middle grade listeners. The Frank Einstein series encourages middle graders to question the way things work and to discover how they, too, can experiment with science. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews raves, "This buoyant, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the impulse to 'keep asking questions and finding your own answers' fires on all cylinders", while Publishers Weekly says tha ungekürzt.

    The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old: Revised Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
    Perfect for expecting parents who want to prepare themselves for the challenging toddler years (which starts around eight months of age), this essential guide, a national bestseller by respected pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Harvey Karp, not only helps reduce tantrums but makes happy kids even happier by boosting patience, cooperation, and self-confidence.Toddlers can drive you bonkers...so adorable and fun one minute...so stubborn and demanding the next! Yet, as unbelievable as it sounds, there is a way to turn the daily stream of “nos” and “don’ts” into “yeses” and hugs...if you know how to speak your toddler’s language. In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past 25 years, Dr. Karp reveals that toddlers, with their immature brains and stormy outbursts, should be thought of not as pint-size people but as pint size...cavemen. Having noticed that the usual techniques often failed to calm crying toddlers, Dr. Karp discovered that the key to effective communication was to speak to them in their own primitive language. When he did, suddenly he was able to soothe their outbursts almost every time! This amazing success led him to the realization that children between the ages of one and four go through four stages of “evolutionary” growth, each linked to the development of the brain, and each echoing a step in prehistoric humankind’s journey to civilization:The “Charming Chimp-Child” (12 to 18 months): Wobbles around on two legs, grabs everything in reach, plays a nonstop game of “monkey see monkey do.”The “Knee-High Neanderthal” (18 to 24 months): Strong-willed, fun-loving, messy, with a vocabulary of about 30 words, the favorites being “no” and “mine.”The “Clever Caveman” (24 to 36 months): Just beginning to learn how to share, make friends, take turns, and use the potty.The “Versatile Villager” (36 to 48 months): Loves to tell stories, sing songs and dance, while trying ungekürzt.
