    Life's Rich Mix , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Working in industry as a chemical engineer is boring. Who says it is?  Most people consider working in the industrial world to be fairly mundane and boring. Well I am able to contradict that erroneous belief. My 40 years in industry have been far from ordinary and unexciting. In fact, those years have been so eventful and exhilarating, I felt compelled to put events, incidents, and a plethora of eclectic, fascinating characters into print and write about my career as a chemical engineer from the late '60s to the beginning of the '80s.  While I typed away, it occurred to me, these stories are so way out, fantastic, and implausible, no one will believe a word of it. Listen and make your own mind up, as it is indeed Life's Rich Mix. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Byrne.

    Rich Veitch's Bratpack
    Just as Moore's Watchmen dissected the notion of superheroes, this underground classic decontructs the implausible comic book mainstay that is the kid sidekick. Both darkly comic and just plain dark, Rick Veitch's Bratpack has been considered a must-read almost since the release of its first issue in 1990. Now, fifteen years after it's last printing, it's back in a new hardcover edition. Welcome to Slumburg, Pennsylvania, where the superpowered team called Black October is as bad as the villains they bring in. Now they want to train a new generation to follow in their footsteps. First, though, they'll need to find some new recruits, as they suddenly find themselves facing a distinct shortage of sidekicks. Subversively subtle yet completely over the top, Bratpack is uncompromising, uncomfortable, and unforgettable. It's also an essential for every graphic novel collection. This black and white hardcover edition includes Neil Gaiman's introduction, as well as a new essay by Rick, extra art, and the original 23-page series proposal.

    Inseparable: The Original Siamese Twins and Their Rendezvous with American History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 865min
    Nearly a decade after his triumphant Charlie Chan biography, Yunte Huang returns with this long-awaited portrait of Chang and Eng Bunker (1811-1874), twins conjoined at the sternum by a band of cartilage and a fused liver, who were "discovered" in Siam by a British merchant in 1824. Bringing an Asian American perspective to this almost implausible story, Huang depicts the twins, arriving in Boston in 1829, first as museum exhibits but later as financially savvy showmen who gained their freedom and traveled the backroads of rural America to bring "entertainment" to the Jacksonian mobs. Their rise from subhuman, freak-show celebrities to rich southern gentry; their marriage to two white sisters, resulting in 21 children; and their owning of slaves, is not just another sensational biography but a Hawthorne-like excavation of America's historical penchant for finding feast in the abnormal, for tyrannizing the "other"-a tradition that, as Huang reveals, becomes inseparable from American history itself. ungekürzt.
