In this inspiring memoir and self-improvement book, Dr. Kristy Singer-MacNair shares her remarkable journey from being a little girl in idyllic 1950's Modesto, California, to pursuing higher education in Santa Barbara and San Diego, in the norm-bending 1970's, to her over 30-year career helping special education students achieve their potential.

It all started in a small industrial town in the north of England. Walking into a boxing gym was the start of an amazing metamorphosis for the 14-year-old. At age 20, he had developed into a 16-stone boxer, powerlifter, and ferocious street fighter, with a knock-out punch in both hands. This is the story of a young man who, lacking education, immigrated to Australia at just 18 years of age only to experience the twilight world of sleaze and violence in Perth’s underbelly, confronting and often overcoming the many challenges he encountered.

I’ve put together an audiobook filled with true stories of my 30 years’ experience working as a paramedic, firefighter, rescue diver, and flight medic. Many of them are tragic with some dark humor mixed in. If you're looking for cute kitten stories, this is not the audiobook for you. However, if you want a glimpse into the real world of what it’s like to be a firefighter and paramedic, look no further.

Auch wenn Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) zeit seines Lebens als Misanthrop galt, waren seine Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit (Track 1-11) dennoch ein veritabler Bestseller.

Weiterhin in dieser Box vertreten: Versuch über das Geistersehn (Track 12-16) sowie sein postum veröffentlichtes Werk Über die Kunst Recht zu behalten (Track 17-18).

"Der Mann, der in Reichtum stirbt, stirbt in Schande!" In der Tat, das sagte Stahlbaron Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919). Gemessen an der Kaufkraft von 2014, besaß er ein Vermögen von über 300 Milliarden Dollar – und gab doch das meiste davon für wohltätige Zwecke wieder her. Dennoch – als einer der sogenannten "Robber Barons", der Industriemagnate, die mit harten Bandagen unter Ausbeutung ihrer Arbeiter unfassbar reich wurden, ist das Urteil der Geschichte über ihn mehr als zwiespältig.

Insightful and revealing, this book is the first to tell the Richard Pratt story in full. From humble Polish-Jewish immigrant beginnings, Pratt became one of Australia's business success stories. He was a paradoxical man: said to be a devoted husband, yet he had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter; Australia's most generous philanthropist, yet he admitted to price fixing; and a great supporter of the cultural arts, yet saviour of the Carlton Football Club.

In “Lung Cancer Free” Dr. Lori Friesen and Keith Zafren share their journey from the shock of her husband’s initial diagnosis, through surgery and chemo, to the point where he was dying, being sustained on supplemental oxygen just to keep breathing, to where they are today: Keith is alive, breathing easily and freely with beautiful, healthy lungs.

Sixteen-year-old Wesley had his heart set on an eight-second ride that February morning. As he lowered himself onto the bull inside the chute, his heart raced with anticipation and excitement. His head nodded. The chute opened. Cowboy and bull released into the stage of competition. Tragedy struck. His lifeless and broken body laid face down on the dirt floor of the arena. Trampled by the 1900-pound bull he sought to conquer. The once cheering crowd silenced, frozen with fear. But where the heartbeat stops, God's plan takes over.
