When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min

1963, Mexico, Maine. The Wood family is much like its close, Catholic, immigrant neighbors, all dependent on a father's wages from the Oxford Paper Company. Until the sudden death of Dad, when Mum and the four closely connected Wood girls are set adrift. Funny and to-the-bone moving, When We Were the Kennedys is the story of how this family saves itself, at first by depending on Father Bob, Mum's youngest brother, a charismatic Catholic priest who feels his new responsibilities deeply. And then, as the nation is shocked by the loss of its handsome Catholic president, the televised grace of Jackie Kennedy - she too a Catholic widow with young children - galvanizes Mum to set off on an unprecedented family road trip to Washington, D.C., to do some rescuing of her own. An indelible story of how family and nation, each shocked by the unimaginable, exchange one identity for another. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Monica Wood.

Dancing with Dictators": A Family's Journey from Pre-Castro Cuba to Exile in the Turbulent Sixties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min

A Time magazine cover story once called my great-grandfather, who was president of Cuba from 1925 to 1933, the Mussolini of the Caribbean. My mother worshiped him and believed he was the president who did the most for our island. My search for an objective viewpoint was to be compounded by another event. In October of 1960, in a televised speech, Fidel Castro declared himself a Marxist-Leninist. Overnight, my parents' world came to an end. Yet, soon after going into exile, I began to encounter the ongoing romance that so many people had with Castro's revolution, which implied that people like us had merely gotten what we deserved. My memoir is a journey through the lives of family members I loved, who happened to face one of the frequent upheavals that history throws in our way. The audiobook is also my own attempt to understand what truly helps us to endure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luis Santeiro.

Is God an illusion?This extraordinary book will fascinate millions of listeners of science and spirituality alike, as well as anyone who has ever asked themselves, What does it mean that I am alive?

The Art of Monarchy, Hörbuch, Digital, 221min

The Royal Collection is one of the most wide-ranging collections of art and artefacts in the world, and it provides an intriguing insight into the minds of the monarchs who have assembled it. In this series, BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz examines dozens of these unique objects, in a quest to "use the collection as a prism through which to better understand the art of being a monarch". From intimate portraits to epic tapestries, from the Coronation pen to the Investiture sword, from a treatise against Martin Luther to the first televised Christmas message, each has an absorbing history. Famous objects such as the Gold State Coach and the Imperial State Crown rub shoulders with lesser-known but still fascinating artefacts, such as the Exeter Salt and the Wriothesley Garter Book. With the help of historians, academics, and Royal Collection curators, Gompertz selects choice items to find out what secrets they reveal about the art of monarchy. Language: English.

13 Teams: One Man's Journey with the WNBA , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min

My name is Alex Chambers, and I love women's basketball. Yes, it really is that simple. Now, come to think of it, loving the game is that simple; being a fan, well, that's another story. The difficulty in being a fan of women's basketball might lie within the struggle to find a televised game or media coverage you don't have to dig for. It could mean sifting past paragraphs and even pages of negative comments on message boards or blogs to get to a recap of a recent game. Even still, it could be that when I wear my home team's jersey, people ask me, "Is that a professional sports team?" It might also have to do with the fact that (drum roll, please) I'm a guy. In 2009, I traveled to all 13 WNBA arenas. Along the way I was fortunate enough to meet some of the athletes in the WNBA as well as many passionate fans. This is the story of my 28-day, 12,000-mile journey, filled with adventure and amazing experiences. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alex Chambers, Mike Peden, Bridget Pettis.
