Flat Earth Clues: End of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
Growing up on Whidbey Island, Washington, Mark Sargent started his career playing computer games professionally in Boulder Colorado. From there, he spent the next 20 years training people across the United States in proprietary software. In 2014, he looked into what is no doubt the strangest conspiracy ever, called 'Flat Earth Theory', and through extensive research, discovered that it wasn't so laughable after all.In 2015, Mark released a series of YouTube videos and book titled Flat Earth Clues: The Sky's the Limit, which delves into the possibility of our human civilization actually being inside a Truman Show-like enclosed system, and how it's been hidden from the public since 1956. Since then, Mark has produced over 1,000 Flat Earth videos, been interviewed hundreds of times, and speaks to groups in different countries regarding this extraordinary claim.In this second Flat Earth Clues book, Mark delves deeper into the conspiracy and looks at some of the key players (love 'em or hate 'em) that are involved in and associated with the struggle. This audiobook is read by the author and covers a range of issues from how we got here (in the Flat Earth struggle) and friends of the family to enemies of the state. It's an easy, informative listen which will (no doubt) leave you wanting to know more. Remember - do your own research, and sharing is caring! Following the book itself, there are interviews that the author does with various people - who will no doubt be asking the questions that will be running around in your mind.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site. ungekürzt.

Great Utopian and Dystopian Works of Literature, Hörbuch, Digital, 747min
Can literature change our real world society? At its foundation, utopian and dystopian fiction asks a few seemingly simple questions aimed at doing just that. Who are we as a society? Who do we want to be? Who are we afraid we might become? When these questions are framed in the speculative versions of Heaven and Hell on earth, you won't find easy answers, but you will find tremendously insightful and often entertaining perspectives. Utopian and dystopian writing sits at the crossroads of literature and other important academic disciplines such as philosophy, history, psychology, politics, and sociology. It serves as a useful tool to discuss our present condition and future prospects - to imagine a better tomorrow and warn of dangerous possibilities. To examine the future of mankind through detailed and fascinating stories that highlight and exploit our anxieties in adventurous, thought-provoking, and engaging ways. From Thomas More's foundational text Utopia published in 1516 to the 21st-century phenomenon of The Hunger Games, dive into stories that seek to find the best - and the worst - in humanity, with the hope of better understanding ourselves and the world. Great Utopian and Dystopian Works of Literature delivers 24 illuminating lectures, led by Pamela Bedore, Associate Professor of English at the University of Connecticut, which plunge you into the history and development of utopian ideas and their dystopian counterparts. You'll encounter some of the most powerful and influential texts in this genre as you travel centuries into the past and thousands of years into the future, through worlds that are beautiful, laughable, terrifying, and always thought-provoking.

Champagne Spiced Omega: The Hollydale Omegas, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min
I promise, I'm not going anywhere. I found everything that I never thought I wanted right here with you.Cecil is an unconventional omega. Owner of Second Chances, Hollydale’s thrift store and consignment shop, the closest he wants to get to an alpha is when he picks one up for a few hours of fun on a Saturday night. And even then, they’d better be polite enough to disappear before he wakes up. Yet for some reason, after picking up Hollydale’s most elusive playboy bachelor for a spot of fun after Tom’s wedding, Cecil is almost relieved to find Ian still there the following morning when he gets the call from a social worker that he’s been named the guardian of an orphaned two-day-old infant.Ian’s entire adult life has been spent climbing the ladder to partnership at his law firm and squeezing in a little fun with omegas in his spare time. Settling down with one and starting a family is so far from his thoughts, it’s laughable. So why does he find himself sticking around to help the adorably awkward omega as he struggles to keep a tiny human alive?Return to Hollydale for a little post-holiday fun while Ian and Cecil figure out that sometimes, sticking around is more fun than a one-night stand.This is the fourth audiobook of the Hollydale Omegas series. This audiobook most likely contains an HEA. Eighteen-plus listeners only please! And yes, this audiobook contains Mpreg, adults adulting in sexy grown-up ways, and way more than an occasional use of potty-mouth language. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Drew Bacca.

Tempest : Guardian Security Shadow World, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
In the dark world of a Guardian Shadow, an axiom exists: “Don’t. Get. Caught." His code name was Tempest, and his enemy caught him. Stratus did unspeakable things to him until, out of his mind, he prayed for death — but he’d never broken faith with his brothers. God, how he wished they knew that. He had not compromised them. He’d told Stratus nothing. Cast aside as useless, left to starve or die of his injuries, his broken body lay in a bare cell, forgotten, and Tempest knew his prayer for the end would be answered shortly. Until her. She made him want to live — if only to help her escape. Not all devils are male. The worst are female. Pilar had lived with one every day of her life — a woman who made a mockery of the word “mother”. When the woman couldn’t manipulate or intimidate her into doing as she wished, she threw Pilar into a cell with a man — or what was left of a man — admonishing her to, “see what happens to people who don’t give me what I want”. At the sight of his broken body, a fierce desire to provide solace and comfort trumped any sort of fear her mother thought to provoke — and an unshakeable bond was formed. As laughable as it seemed at the time, they each vowed to help the other escape. His fellow Shadow rescued Tempest. Pilar knew he’d return for her if he lived. For 33 months, 12 days, five hours, and 43 minutes, she faithfully monitored a hidden dropbox for his message. She almost missed it, and then she doubted her eyes. “I’m coming for you.” ungekürzt.

"Enchanted Globe": James has never been the ambitious type - although, in his heart, he's always known he's meant for something better than his family's pawn shop.

Mexican WhiteBoy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
[A] first-rate exploration of self-identity. —School Library Journal Danny's tall and skinny. Even though he's not "built", his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce that any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five-mile-an-hour fastball, but the boy's not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it. Ball ends up so far out of the strike zone it's laughable. But at his private school, they don't expect much else from him. Danny's brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego, that close to the border, means everyone knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he can't speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they've got him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Danny's convinced it's his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico. That's why he's spending the summer with his dad's family. Only, to find himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to see - the demons that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming. Set in the alleys and on the ball fields of San Diego County, Mexican WhiteBoy is a story of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of definitions.

Elders of Zion: Mystery & Conspiracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
Learn the story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the one of the world's most famous conspiracy theories. It is a statement of prejudice and paranoia, a fake historical record and a grand hoax all rolled into one. The Protocols claim to prove that there is a Jewish plot to take over the world and purport to show that Socialism, Liberalism, and every other reformist idea or activity are just tools of a Jewish secret cabal. The Protocols have been discredited many times over their 110-year-old history and would be laughable, except for the tragic role they played in the Twentieth Century. The actual Protocols text is written as if it is a secret document from a shadowy Jewish organization and details a conspiratorial plot to undermine the existing World Order. Each of the 24 sections read as a strategic instruction on how to undermine elements of the existing order.

But the joke may be on Billy…as he has to screw up some very real courage to face the very real Danger in the Dark.Includes the fantasy adventures “The Room,” in which Uncle Toby goes to his room, never to return, leaving it to his nephew to explore the magic and mystery of the place; and “He Didn't Like Cats,” the story of one man’s feline phobia and the hauntingly high price he pays for it.Set sail for a land of tropical breezes, white sand beaches and monstrous spirits as the audio version of Danger in the Dark invites you to share the fantasy ... and fear.“Brilliant performances ... and a rousing musical score.” —Publishers Weekly ungekürzt.

A mixed-breed offspring of Marley and Me and All Creatures Great and Small, His Name Was Brownie is your next book for fun.

Their escapades take them through beautiful areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii before the clan finally lands in Wisconsin near the Wisconsin River.Dr. Judi Roller has been breeding and showing collies and Irish wolfhounds for many years, garnering AKC championships for her dogs and several group placements along the way. She has also enjoyed judging multiple AKC matches. Her previous book, The Politics of the Feminist Novel, won an Outstanding Academic Book award, and she has published literary criticism as well as book reviews and occasional poems and a short story.Her BA cum laude was earned at Bowling Green State University, and her doctorate came from the University of Michigan, even though she is a homegrown Ohio State Buckeye, which became a challenge while she was teaching freshman English during her graduate work at Michigan. Now retired from university administration, she has more time for dogs, golf, travel, bridge, and reading. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Felicia Elenum.
