    Series Statement: A Random House Audiobook Original
    Content: " From New York Times bestselling author Erik Larson comes his first venture into fiction, an otherworldly tale of intrigue and the impossible that marshals his trademark approach to nonfiction to create something new: a ghost story thoroughly grounded in history. Pioneering psychologist William James leads an expedition to a remote isle in search of answers after a family inexplicably vanishes. Was the cause rooted in the physical world . or were there forces more paranormal and sinister at work? Available only on audio, because as Larson says, ghost stories are best told aloud.A group of researchers sets sail for the Isle of Dorn in the North Atlantic in 1905 to explore the cause of several mysterious disappearances, most notably a family of four who vanished without a trace after a week-long holiday on the island. Led by Professor James, a prominent member of the Society for Psychical Research, they begin to explore the island&rsquo, sole cottage and surrounding landscape in search of a logical explanation. The idyllic setting belies an undercurrent of danger and treachery, with raging storms and unnerving discoveries adding to the sense of menace. As increasingly unexplainable events unfold, the now-stranded investigators are unsure whether they can trust their own eyes, their instincts, one another&mdash,r even themselves. Erik Larson has written a terrifying tale of suspense, underpinned with actual people and events. Created specifically to entertain audio listeners, this eerie blend of the ghostly and the real will keep listeners captivated till the blood-chilling end. Featuring Erik Larson reading his Notes for a Narrator . "

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Julian Rhind-Tutt performs this ghost story in a style that suits this audio-only production. Set in 1905 on the desolate island of Dorn, off the Cornwall coast, the novel features mostly British characters. The sole exception is American professor William James. The choice to portray James in a flat tone seems inaccurate for the upper-crust man he was. That said, Rhind-Tutt narrates all the Brits well and gives atmosphere to the ghost story. Writer Erik Larson clearly has fun with his first foray into fiction and pays attention to the science of the day, particularly with respect to a character who is an engineer with expertise in radio waves. This suspenseful, engrossing audiobook is packed with surprises, even a romantic twist. A.D.M. � AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine"

    Content: " The #1  New York Times   bestselling author of  The Devil in the White City   and  Dead Wake   delivers a fresh and compelling portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2020 BY The Washington Post &bull, HuffPost &bull, The Seattle Times &bull, Lit Hub &bull, The Week &bull, PopSugar On Winston Churchill&rsquo, first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally&mdash,nd willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile , Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people &ldquo,he art of being fearless.&rdquo,It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it&rsquo, also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill&rsquo, prime-ministerial country home, Chequers,his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest,and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports&mdash,ome released only recently&mdash,arson provides a new lens on London&rsquo, darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine,their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents&rsquo,wartime protectiveness,their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela,Pamela&rsquo, illicit lover, a dashing American emissary,and the advisers in Churchill&rsquo, &ldquo,ecret Circle,&rdquo,to whom he turns in the hardest moments.   The Splendid and the Vile   takes readers out of today&rsquo, political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill&rsquo, eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together. This audiobook includes a recording of Winston Churchill's 1941 Christmas Eve speech. "
    Content: Biographisches: " Erik Larson  " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:We all know the outcome, but listeners will still be on the edge of their seats while listening to John Lee's superb narration of Winston Churchill's first year as Britain's prime minister, 1940-41. With a German invasion expected at any moment, this was the most perilous year in Britain's history, the year of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and the Blitz. As he's done so expertly in bestsellers like IN THE GARDEN OF THE BEASTS, Larsen re-creates the atmosphere of the time, drawing not just on Churchill, but also on his family and subordinates, as well as a mosaic of contemporary accounts. Larson delivers the introduction and does a fine job, but Lee brings the polish and expressiveness of a gifted narrator--one who performs a perfectly credible Churchill voice. D.A.W.

    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers Working Paper No. 00/183
    Content: This paper analyzes the stochastic inventory control problem when the demand distribution is not known. In contrast to previous Bayesian inventory models, this paper adopts a non-parametric Bayesian approach in which the firm’s prior information is characterized by a Dirichlet process prior. This provides considerable freedom in the specification of prior information about demand and it permits the accommodation of fixed order costs. As information on the demand distribution accumulates, optimal history-dependent (s,S) rules are shown to converge to an (s,S) rule that is optimal when the underlying demand distribution is known

Prawdziwa historia dwóch mężczyzn, architekta i seryjnego mordercy, których losy połączyła największa wystawa w amerykańskiej historii: Kolumbijska Wystawa Światowa z 1893 roku, zorganizowana w Chicago i nazywana „Białym Miastem. Daniel Hudson Burnham, wybitny dyrektor robót wystawy i twórca wielu ważnych budynków, takich jak Flatiron Building w Nowym Jorku czy Union Station w Waszyngtonie, pokonuje liczne przeszkody i wraz ze swoim zespołem stara się przekształcić podmokły park Jacksona w „Białe Miasto. W tym samym czasie Henry H. Holmes, młody lekarz, złośliwie parodiując „Białe Miasto Burnhama, wznosi nieopodal swój Hotel Wystawy Światowej – urządzając w nim straszliwe miejsce mordów, wyposażone w stół sekcyjny, komorę gazową i piec krematoryjny. „Kolejna udana eksploracja historii Ameryki...

    Content: " Larson is a marvelous writer...superb at creating characters with a few short strokes. New York Times Book Review Erik Larson has been widely acclaimed as a master of narrative non-fiction, and in his new book, the bestselling author of Devil in the White City turns his hand to a remarkable story set during Hitler's rise to power. The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the New Germany, she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition. Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Gö,ing and the expectedly charming yet wholly sinister Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror."

Rezension(5): " Los Angeles Times :Terrific." Rezension(6): " Newsweek :A stunning work of history." Rezension(7): " The New York Times Book Review :Larson has meticulously researched the Dodds' intimate witness to Hitler's ascendancy and created an edifying narrative of this historical byway that has all the pleasures of a political thrillera fresh picture of these terrrible events."

Rezension(10): " Louisville Courier Journal :A gripping, deeply-intimate narrative with a climax that reads like the best political thriller, where we are stunned with each turn of the page." Rezension(11): " Minneapolis Star-Tribune :Electrifying reading...fascinating." Rezension(12): " Asbury Park Press :Larson's latest chronicle of history has as much excitement as a thriller novel, and it's all the more thrilling because it's all true." Rezension(13): " Toronto Globe and Mail :A superb book...nothing less than masterful." Rezension(14): " Portland Herald :Even though we know how it will end -- the book's climax, the Night of the Long Knives, being just the beginning, this is a page-turner, full of flesh and blood people and monsters too, whose charms are particularly disturbing." Rezension(15): " Maclean's Magazine :Larson succeeds brilliantly...offers a fascinating window into the year when the world began its slow slide into war." Rezension(16): " BookReporter.com :Erik Larson tackles this outstanding period of history as fully and compellingly as he portrayed the events in his bestseller, THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY. With each page, more horrors are revealed, making it impossible to put down. IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS reads like the true thriller it is." Rezension(17): " Cleveland Plain Dealer :Larson's strengths as a storyteller have never been stronger than they are here, and this story is far more important than either The Devil in the White City or Thunderstruck. How the United States dithered as Hitler rose to power is a cautionary tale that bears repeating, and Larson has told it masterfully." Rezension(18): " The Washington Post :Reads like an elegant thriller...utterly compelling... marvelous stuff. An excellent and entertaining book that deserves to be a bestseller, and probably will be." Rezension(19): " Pittsburgh Review : Larson's scholarship is impressive, but it's his pacing and knack for suspense that elevates the book from the matter-of-fact to the sublime." Rezension(20): " People (:A master at writing true tales as riveting as fiction." Rezension(21): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Professor William E. Dodd, FDR's fifth choice for the post of American ambassador to Germany in 1933, was na•ve and unsuited to the lavish diplomatic highlife. However, his flamboyant daughter, Martha, fit right in, growing infatuated with Berlin and Nazism. Stephen Hoye narrates Erik Larson's absorbing look at pre-WWII Germany, when Germany was crawling back from political and economic upheaval. Using journals, letters, and secondary and archival source material, Larson recounts the increasingly chaotic environment of diminishing civil rights, increasing anti-Semitism, violence, and brutality. Hoye's gripping performance chills to the soul. Dodd's warnings to Washington of Hitler's dark motives went unheeded partly because Washington feared that, if censured, Germany wouldn't pay its postwar debts. Hoye's edgy reading makes familiar events seem no less nightmarish. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine"

    Content: "Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America's rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair's brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country's most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his World's Fair Hotel just west of the fairgrounds a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake. The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. In this book the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before. Erik Larson's gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.

    Content: Biographisches: " Erik Larson is the author of five national bestsellers, including The Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts , which have collectively sold more than 6.5 million copies.

After recording nearly 250 books in five years, AudioFile Magazine named Scott one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy and proclaimed him one of their Golden Voices. Brick's range is unparalleled as he reads thrillers to narrative nonfiction, from biographies to science fiction with aplomb." Rezension(2): " Chicago Tribune :Engrossing . exceedingly well documented . utterly fascinating." Rezension(3): "The New York Times :A dynamic, enveloping book. . Relentlessly fuses history and entertainment to give this nonfiction book the dramtic effect of a novel. . It doesn't hurt that this truth is stranger than fiction." Rezension(4): " Esquire :So good, you find yourself asking how you could not know this already." Rezension(5): " USA Today :Another successful exploration of American history. . Larson skillfully balances the grisly details with the far-reaching implications of the World's Fair." Rezension(6): " San Francisco Chronicle :As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find." Rezension(7): " Entertainment Weekly :Paints a dazzling picture of the Gilded Age and prefigure the American century to come." Rezension(8): " Chicago Sun-Times :A wonderfully unexpected book. Larson is a historian . with a novelist's soul." Rezension(9): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:A guilty pleasure is this true story of nineteenth-century serial killer Henry Holmes, as it relates (with some stretch of credulity) to the Colombian Exposition of 1893, erected on Chicago's Southside, not far from Holmes's lair. The author, who writes more like a carnival pitchman than an investigative reporter, fills his account with fascinating detail, and even when the detail isn't fascinating, he tries to make it so with florid description. Scott Brick attacks this material with relish, narrating with a sardonic edge and masterful attention to phrasing. Okay, he should have looked up the pronunciation of phaeton, calumet, and a few other terms, but if we pretend not to notice, we'll have a lot of perverse fun. Y.R.

    Content: " Rok 1933. Serce hitlerowskiego Berlina. Wielki, epicki spektakl życia i śmierci widziany oczyma amerykańskiej rodziny dyplomatów. Amerykański ambasador William E. Dodd przyjeżdża do Niemiec z żoną, synem oraz pełną temperamentu córką Marthą. Początkowo Martha jest urzeczona licznymi przyjęciami i towarzyszącą im pompą, oczarowana przez przystojnych młodych mężczyzn, obywateli III Rzeszy, z ich zaraźliwym entuzjazmem dla uczynienia z Niemiec światowej potęgi. W miarę jak prześladowania Żydów przybierają na sile, a główni bohaterowie książki stają się ich naocznymi świadkami, ambasador Dodd zaczyna alarmować amerykański Departament Stanu. Ten jednak pozostaje obojętny... W czasach gęstniejącego mroku, Doddowie przeżyją dni pełne ekscytacji, intryg i romansów aby ostatecznie z przerażeniem ujrzeć kulminację przemocy i morderstw, demaskujących prawdziwy charakter Hitlera i jego bezwzględnych dążeń. „Opierając się na listach i pamiętnikach z tamtego okresu, Larson mistrz prawdziwych historii, które czyta się niczym najlepszą fikcję stworzył naoczną relację ojca i córki, którzy otwierają oczy dopiero w chwili, gdy terror na dobre zaciska wokół nich swe szpony.

    Der Untergang der Lusitania : die größte Schiffstragödie des Ersten Weltkriegs (2015)

    Content: Das Drama der Lusitania: Das Schiff, dessen Untergang den Ersten Weltkrieg entschied. Am 7. Mai 2015 ist es 100 Jahre her, dass das amerikanische Passagierschiff Lusitania während des Ersten Weltkriegs von einem deutschen U-Boot angegriffen wurde und 1200 Menschen dabei ihr Leben verloren. Schuld war ein Zweikampf zwischen den Kapitänen: Walther Schwieger, der deutsche U-Boot-Kommandant, der ohne Warnung auch zivile Schiffe angreifen ließ; und William Turner, der erfahrene amerikanische Kapitän der Cunard-Linie, der entgegen allen Warnungen niemals glaubte, dass so etwas wirklich passieren könnte. Aus diesem Ereignis lässt Erik Larson eine atemberaubende Reportage entstehen: So ungewöhnlich, dass der Leser insgeheim zu hoffen beginnt, das Schicksal der Lusitania könnte doch noch eine andere Wendung nehmen.
