Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics. John J.

Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

A simple and profoundly life-changing story. The book for everyone who’s ever wondered, “Isn’t there supposed to be more to life?” This audiobook will leave you inspired, hopeful and filled with a deep sense of calm and clarity. In a small cafe at a location so remote it stands in the middle of the middle of nowhere, a visitor f inds three unusual questions on the back of a menu.

Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We’re rebelling against technology that’s too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte “read me” manuals. The iPod’s clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that’s simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do.

Nick and John like movies. So, let's talk about movies — one at a time. Let's talk about one movie at a time until we talk about another movie another time. Like, in two weeks. One movie now.

A foundational essay on the psychology of horror in literature, featuring eleven period illustrations. In 1773, siblings John Aikin and Anna Laetitia Barbauld wanted to know why we take such pleasure in being terrified.

Why do we love spooky? Listen and learn.
