Ich und die anderen
Für den fünfjährigen Jake Honigpops, für Tante Sam Kräutertee und für Seferis gesalzene Radieschen: Es ist gar nicht so leicht, jeden Morgen die Bedürfnisse aller Hausbewohner zu befriedigen. Aber eigentlich hat Andrew Gage sich und seine »anderen« ganz gut im Griff. Andrew hat eine Multiple Persönlichkeitsstörung; mit Unterstützung einer engagierten Psychologin hat er es jedoch geschafft, für die vielen Ich-Abspaltungen in seinem Kopf ein imaginäres Haus zu konstruieren. Eine strenge Hausordnung ist der Garant dafür, daß Andrew sich im wirklichen Leben behaupten kann. Doch die Grundmauern des Geisterhauses beginnen stark zu wackeln, als Andrews Chefin Julie, Gründerin einer Firma, die sich mit virtueller Realität befaßt, die junge Penny Driver einstellt. Denn Penny ist ebenfalls multipel - nur weiß sie das noch nicht. Ob die nymphomane Loins, die lauthals fluchende Maledicta oder die gewalttätige Malefica: Wann immer eine ihrer verschiedenen »Seelen« die Herrschaft über Leib und Geist gewinnt, kommt es zu einem Blackout. Julie glaubt, daß Andrew Penny helfen könnte, doch allzu schnell läuft die Situation aus dem Ruder und Andrews filigranes Seelengefüge droht ebenfalls aus dem Gleichgewicht zu geraten. Den beiden bleibt nur eins: Sie müssen sich dem dunkelsten Kapitel ihres Lebens stellen. So finden sich Penny und Andrew - inklusive einem Dutzend Seelen auf dem Rücksitz - auf einem irrwitzigen Roadtrip quer durch Amerika wieder, der sie mit ihren traumatischen Kindheitserlebnissen konfrontiert. Und plötzlich steht die Frage im Raum, ob Andrew in seiner Vergangenheit einen Mord begangen haben könnte ...»Ruff verblüfft durch seinen Einfallsreichtum, mit dem er der verrückten Geschichte immer wieder neue Wendungen gibt - Spaß pur!« (Focus)- Shop: buecher

Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
I had always imagined that my life story...would have a great first line: something like Nabokov's 'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins;' or if I could not do lyric, then something sweeping like Tolstoy's 'All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' When it comes to openers, though, the best in my view has to be the first line of Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier: 'This is the saddest story I have ever heard.' So begins the remarkable tale of Firmin the rat. Born in a bookstore in a blighted 1960's Boston neighborhood, Firmin miraculously learns how to read by digesting his nest of books. Alienated from his family and unable to communicate with the humans he loves, Firmin quickly realizes that a literate rat is a lonely rat. Following a harrowing misunderstanding with his hero, the bookseller, Firmin begins to risk the dangers of Scollay Square, finding solace in the Lovelies of the burlesque cinema. Finally adopted by a down-on-his-luck science fiction writer, the tide begins to turn, but soon they both face homelessness when the wrecking ball of urban renewal arrives. In a series of misadventures, Firmin is ultimately led deep into his own imaginative soul - a place where Ginger Rogers can hold him tight and tattered books, storied neighborhoods, and down-and-out rats can find people who adore them. A native of South Carolina, Sam Savage now lives in Madison, Wisconsin. This is his first novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

The Science of Discworld IV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 735min
The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series, and this time around dealing with the really big questions, Terry Pratchett’s brilliant new Discworld story Judgement Day is annotated with very big footnotes (the interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, cutting-edge science and philosophy. Marjorie Daw is a librarian, and takes her job – and indeed the truth of words – very seriously. She doesn’t know it, but her world and ours – Roundworld – is in big trouble. On Discworld, a colossal row is brewing…The Wizards of Unseen University feel responsible for Roundworld (as one would for a pet gerbil). After all, they brought it into existence by bungling an experiment in Quantum ThaumoDynamics. But legal action is being brought against them by Omnians, who say that the Wizards’ god-like actions make a mockery of their noble religion. As the finest legal brains in Discworld (a zombie and a priest) gird their loins to do battle – and when the Great Big Thing in the High Energy Magic Laboratory is switched on – Marjorie Daw finds herself thrown across the multiverse and right in the middle of the whole explosive affair. As God, the Universe and, frankly, Everything Else is investigated by the trio, you can expect world-bearing elephants, quantum gravity in the Escher-verse, evolutionary design, eternal inflation, dark matter, disbelief systems – and an in-depth study of how to invent a better mousetrap. ungekürzt.

Our Present Condition and Our Hope: Brethren Writers Library, Book 23 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
Our Present Condition and Our Hope by F. G. Patterson shows the believer the past - a suffering, dead, and risen Christ; the present - the association of the people of God with him in a pathway of suffering and rejection; and the future - his coming again in glory, his taking to him his great power to reign, and our association with him in his glory. Our Present Condition: The Lord left his servants to carry on his heavenly mission here below. He set "every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch". He says, "What I say unto you, I say unto all, watch". Our blessed occupation here is "to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven". In one way or another, he has given us something to do for him, and he is coming back to ascertain how each is discharging the duty given him, and at an "hour ye think not". Therefore, "Let your loins be girded, and your lights burning". Our Hope: The Lord will come again in power and great glory - the great event that will bring about all this glory for which he waits and we wait. It is near, beloved brethren; the heart feels conscious that it is so, and the present action of the Holy Spirit marks it as very close at hand. By examining the two letters to the Thessalonians, F. G. Patterson reminds us of what we have to look forward to. He also shows us that the "coming" and the "appearing" are two entirely different things, as are the "great white throne" and the "judgment seat of Christ". ungekürzt. Language: English.

It's a Jungle in There: How Competition and Cooperation in the Brain Shape the Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
The saying "It's a jungle out there" refers to a competitive environment in which you'd better hone your skills if you hope to survive. And you'd better do what you can to keep a roof over your head, food in your belly, a leaf on your loins, and a mate who'll help pass on your genes to the next generation of jungle Jims and Janes. Distinguished professor and cognitive psychologist David Rosenbaum takes this metaphor of surviving in the wild and applies it to the competitive arena within the brain. He argues that the overarching theory of biology, Darwin's theory, should be the overarching theory of cognitive psychology, the science of mental functioning. He explores this new and intriguing idea by showing how neural elements compete and cooperate in a kind of inner jungle, where only the fittest survive. Competition within your brain does as much to shape who you are as the physical and figurative competition you face externally. Just as the jungle night seethes with noisy creatures beckoning their mates, issuing their warnings, and settling their arguments, you might have trouble falling asleep at night because the thoughts in your head are fighting for their chance at survival. Rosenbaum's pursuit of this bold idea explains why we are shaped into who we are, for better or worse, because we are the hosts of inner battlefields.Written in a light-hearted tone and with reference to hypothetical neural "creatures" making their way in a tough environment, Rosenbaum makes cognitive psychology and his theory easy to understand and exciting to ponder. Rather than rely on the series of disconnected phenomena and collection of curiosities that often constitute cognitive psychology, It’s a Jungle in There provides a fascinating way to place all cognitive phenomena under one flourishing tree.

How to Avoid the Pink Slip , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
As the author - the founder of a national executive search firm - placed thousands of executives and managers in corporate positions throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, he witnessed a recurring pattern of jobs being offered to individuals based on the personal chemistry between employer and employee; as much as 80 percent of the hiring equation revolved around this intangible concept of personal chemistry. Similarly, he found that most firings and downsizings were as a result of a lack of personal chemistry and as a lack of training or thinking about how to "survive" in the job. He interviewed hundreds of senior corporate executives across multi-industries and functions to examine why one employee would be shown the door while another in a similar professional capacity at the company would "survive". He discerned that the survivors had, like warriors of old, girded their loins against attack and built corporate moats to protect their own employment castles. Most books have been written on how to get the job - How to Avoid the Pink Slip gives you the "inside skinny" or intelligence to develop the means of survival. He also, in his 40 years of corporate executive search, realized that no matter the job performance that all employees from the top to the bottom are potential victims of the downsizing axe and the corporate bean counters - the finance executives who sacrifice people for profits. If you had a job - any job - you are a potential target. This book will tell you how to weigh the odds and stack them in your favor against becoming a victim of the pink slip. Wes will wake up the slumbering worker and tell him or her how to build their own Doppler, a system that will alert them to don fully waterproof gear, raise an umbrella, or simply dodge the raindrops. In other words, how to prevent falling victim to the unseen - or unrecognized - winds that swirl around them every working day. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Martinez.

Mark of the Apple: Chapter 5: [CODING HUMANS], Book 15 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Over Ella’s short break, she learns that the one in charge of the interns at her upcoming internship with is her adored tutor James. She hasn’t seen or heard from him since finals week and she had finally been able to put him in the back of her mind when he contacted her. She was studying at the library, the day after the debates, when J.F. sent a text saying, “Ella; Hope your break is going well! I just found out that you will be one of my subordinates at the research lab this summer. Looking forward to seeing you on the 4th”! Reading the text brought all of Ella’s emotions bubbling right back to the surface; goosebumps trickled across her body shooting into her loins. She thought about all possible scenarios that could occur between them all alone in a lab. Then, she recalled, that J.F. said he didn’t know who Dr. Q was. She thought about texting him back, but she didn’t want him to think she was overly anxious to talk to him, so she stopped herself, took deep breaths and meditated until her mind was clear.[5.1] One week until internship.Ella has been reading up on certain physics topics and decides to take a break and go back through the presidential election and the heavenly visitor. Something about the speech she heard was eating at her. She needs to have a better understanding of what the president meant. She decides to practice her research skills by investigating the information and doing so with a scientific eye.Something about the new president’s speech makes Ella think about, what the bible refers to as “The Mark of the Beast”. Ella hadn’t read the bible before the arrival of the egg but when they released of the unedited version online it intrigued her, so she skimmed through it a bit. It wasn’t very interesting to her, but she feels it is connected to the president. She elaborates to herself on how President Tanae seems to have manipulatively convinced everyone is to carry their phones with them at all times otherwise they are co ungekürzt. Language: English.
