    Two scarred souls: one physically, one mentally. Both on the mend, hiding from their pasts.... Mace Walker can't wait to get home. Being buried deep undercover for the past two years, on the most complex case of his career, has torn him down physically and mentally. Now the FBI agent has come home to recover after having his leg badly injured from a gunshot wound. Arriving home late one night, his relief is short-lived as he's faced with a stranger pointing a gun to his head, acting like he is the one who doesn't belong there! Colby Parks, a biochemist at the local university, had come to town a year earlier to escape an abusive relationship. She vows never to put herself in that situation again. Then the perfect opportunity comes along: housesitting for Mace's sister while making the house she purchased habitable. But she couldn't anticipate this big snag: the one wearing the tight Levi's and worn leather jacket, looking like he had just escaped prison. Being forced to share a house creates sparks between them in more ways than one. However, things take a turn when their pasts catch up to them, threatening to pull them apart forever. Note: This book was previously published under the title Banged Up but has been re-edited for this release. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: B.B. Franklin.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Science and the Search for Meaning – Part Five: Can Science be Sacred?, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Steve Paulson reports on a growing movement among secular scientists and philosophers, E.O. Wilson, Ursula Goodenough, Joel Primack, George Vaillant, Jane Goodall and Stuart Kauffman. They believe the natural world around us is full of marvels and mysteries, but they typically don't believe in God. Neither do they like the term "atheist." Some prefer "Religious Naturalist." Steve fills us in on "the awe and wonder crowd."Next, Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a botanist and medical biochemist. Her new essay collection is called "The Global Forest." She tells Anne Strainchamps that the lives of trees and human beings are inter-related all the way down to the molecular level. Then, Arthur Zajonc (rhymes with science) is a physicist at Amherst College, and a long time meditator. He's talked on various occasions with the Dalai Lama about physics and the contemplative life. He tells Jim Fleming that Einstein's idea of god is common to many top scientists. We also hear from orangutan researcher Birute Galdikas.Finally, David Abram is an environmental philosopher and author of Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. He's something of an animist who finds a living presence in just about everything. Abrams tells Steve Paulson about his beliefs and recounts a remarkable story about a shaman who could turn himself into a raven. [Broadcast Date: December 22, 2010] Language: English.

    Some Kind of Magic: Flirting with Fame, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    In this sparkling debut novel, Mary Ann Marlowe introduces a hapless scientist who's swept off her feet by a rock star - but is it love or just a chemical reaction? Biochemist Eden Sinclair has no idea that the scent she spritzed on herself before leaving the lab is designed to enhance pheromones. Or that the cute, grungy-looking guy she meets at a gig that evening is Adam Copeland. As in the Adam Copeland - international rock god and object of lust for a million women. Make that a million and one. By the time she learns the truth, she's already spent the (amazing, incredible) night in his bed. Suddenly Eden, who's more accustomed to being set up on disastrous dates by her mom, is going out with a gorgeous celebrity who loves how down-to-earth and honest she is. But for once Eden isn't being honest. She can't bear to reveal that this overpowering attraction could be nothing more than seduction by science. And the only way to know how Adam truly feels is to ditch the perfume - and risk being ditched in turn. Smart, witty, and sexy, Some Kind of Magic is an irresistibly engaging look at modern relationships - why we fall, how we connect, and the courage it takes to trust in something as mysterious and unpredictable as love. ungekürzt.

    The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body's Least Understood Organ and What It Means for You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
    This groundbreaking work of practical, popular science reveals that fat is much smarter than we think. Fat is an obsession, a dirty word, a subject of national hand-wringing - and, according to biochemist Sylvia Tara, the least understood part of our body. You may not love your fat, but your body certainly does. In fact your body is actually endowed with many self-defense measures to hold on to fat. For example, fat can use stem cells to regenerate; increase our appetite if it feels threatened; and use bacteria, genetics, and viruses to expand itself. The secret to losing 20 pounds? You have to work with your fat, not against it. Tara explains how your fat influences your appetite and willpower, how it defends itself when attacked, and why it grows back so quickly. The Secret Life of Fat brings cutting-edge research together with historical perspectives to reveal fat's true identity: an endocrine organ that, in the right amount, is critical to our health. Fat triggers puberty, enables our reproductive and immune systems, and even affects brain size. Although we spend $60 billion annually fighting fat, our efforts are often misinformed and misdirected. Tara expertly illustrates the complex roles that genetics, hormones, diet, exercise, and history play in our weight, and The Secret Life of Fat sets you on the path to beat the bulge once and for all.  ungekürzt.

    Mysteries of the Universe: Answerable and Unanswerable Questions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
    Answerable and Unanswerable Questions  Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the universe begin, and how will it end? Is the future predetermined?  These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book, which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a ‘best guess’ answer.  For every question addressed here - be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world - the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain: Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate and stimulate.  Dr Peter Altman trained as a biochemist and now works as a science writer and speaker. His areas of special interest include cosmology, biochemistry and photography. He is the founder and chairman of the Bricket Wood Science Group and a member of the Magic Circle in London.  "I really like the premise of this book… The questions are just those that a lay person wants the answers to and the division into answerable and unanswerable makes a distinction that is not always apparent." (Andrew Norton, professor of astrophysics education, the Open University, UK)PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    Run, Swim, Throw, Cheat: The Science Behind Drugs in Sport  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    Drugs in sport are big news and the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is common. Here, Chris Cooper, a top biochemist at the University of Essex, looks at the science behind drugs in sport. Using the performance of top athletes, Cooper begins by outlining the limits of human performance. Showing the basic problems of human biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy, he looks at what stops us running faster, throwing longer, or jumping higher. Using these evidence-based arguments he shows what the body can, and cannot, do. There is much curiosity about why certain substances are used, how they are detected, and whether they truly have an effect on the body. Cooper explains how these drugs work and the challenges of testing for them, putting in to context whether the 'doping' methods of choice are worth the risk or the effort. Exploring the moral, political, and ethical issues involved in controlling drug use, Cooper addresses questions such as 'What is cheating?', 'What compounds are legal and why?', 'Why do the classification systems change all the time?', and 'Should all chemicals be legal, and what effect would this have on sport?'. Looking forward, he examines the recent work to study the physical limitations of rat and mice behaviour. He shows that, remarkably, simple genetic experiments producing 'supermice' suggest that there may be ways of improving human performance too, raising ethical and moral questions for the future of sport. ungekürzt.
