Captain David Grief - audio book

"Brian Emerson contributes a well-paced reading and an authentic range of voices.His David Grief is just right: self-assured and always in control."AudioFileCaptain David Grief, South Pacific tycoon, owns plantations and trading stations fromNew Guinea to Samoa, pearling fisheries in the Paumotus, and rubber acreages in the Louisiades.His own vessels recruit contract labor, and he operates three steamers on ocean runs. He came tothe South Seas at the age of twenty and, blessed with a blond skin impervious to tropical rays,became browner through two decades as a true "son of the sun." At forty years of age, he looks nomore than thirty. His manifold enterprises flourish. His is the golden touch. But he plays the SouthSea game not for the gold but for the game's sake and for the daring life of the island rover.

This book, originally published as A Son of the Sun, gives David Grief's adventures through eight
long tales of danger and daring told in Jack London's graphic and colorful style.

Born in San Francisco in 1876, Jack London never knew who his father was. His name came from his stepfather, John Griffith London. The family was poor, and London's early education has been described as "spotty," though he read voraciously. To help the family, he held many different jobs, from peddling papers to working in a cannery. At nineteen, he entered high school, followed by one semester of college. In 1897, London hunted for gold in the Klondike and returned with scurvy and story ideas. By 1899, his work was selling briskly. At one time he was acclaimed the highest paid writer in the world, but bad investments and an inability to manage his money kept London poor throughout his life. In 1916, at age forty, he died on his beloved ranch near Sonoma, California.

Managing Emotional Eating -audio book

"In the practice of Interactive Self-Hypnosis or imaginology, you see with your mind's eye. This is very different than seeing with normal sight. Sometimes people report that they can't see images & become discouraged working hypnotically. This is simply a matter of mis-understanding how mind & body tools work & what to expect. Each & every person reading my words in this very moment is working with imaginology."........Elizabeth Bohorquez, RN, C.Ht.

Over-eating & disorderly eating can be emotional in nature. As the body looks for balance from uncomfortable mind states, the subconscious mind often suggests to eat. Those suggested foods are often not in keeping with health or well-being. While they may feel good in the moment, the person is usually aware on some level that they are harming themselves in some way. This often leads to additional problems.This audio includes deep relaxation, entry tools to the subconscious mind, imagery designed specifically for emotional & thought management, inner motivation & lifestyle change, as well as Interactive Self-hypnosis © practice. Note: All programs produced by International Medical & Health Writers, Ltd. are written & recorded by Elizabeth Bohorquez, RN, C.Ht. Each program has 2 or 3 separate original Interactive Self-Hypnosis Sessions, each with it's own induction. All programs include directions for listening & other important information.

This program allows the listener to become aware of particular emotions involved in emotional eating behaviors and provides tools & techniques for diminishing these emotional states, as well as enhancing "skillful" or power states to assist in goal achievement. This audio also provides assessment tools for evaluating the nutritional state of the listener. Often times, when this is out of balance, emotional eating can & will increase. The answer is nutritional balance & emotional management.

The Hard Way - Lee Child

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance - because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world. On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer’s past…and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He’s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he’s already in way too deep to stop now.

Lee Child: The Hard Way

Gerrie from Phuket - 26 Jan 2007

Having read or listened to all but one of Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” thrillers, I was chomping at the bit to get a hold of the latest audio book in this series, The Hard Way. While there are threads of predictability to all of Lee Child’s books, I find that I actually enjoy knowing ahead of time that there will be a really wicked adversary, that a beautiful woman will align herself with Reacher for the cause, and that justice will be served, in brutal Reacher fashion.

The book opens with Reacher sipping an espresso, minding his own business, on a summer evening in New York City. Sitting quietly alone and yet taking everything in. This is his nature; he has no choice. His observation of an everyday occurrence, a man getting into a car across the street, is the springboard for Reacher’s involvement in this bizarre tale. Reacher is taken on as a consultant to help resolve a kidnapping. But things just don’t feel right from the very beginning. Slowly Reacher starts to piece together a picture of incredible greed and brutality. To get to the truth, Reacher, ex Army MP/Investigator, works the clues the only way he knows how, The Hard Way. From the streets of Manhattan to the farmlands of Northeast England, Reacher follows his instincts and his heart in the pursuit of “making things right”.

There is a strange, and sometimes uncomfortable, sense of satisfaction I experience when I race to the conclusion of these Lee Child books. I think my reaction has partially to do with Reacher as an “anti-hero’s hero”. He shuns material trappings, long term relationships, and staying in one place for too long. Imagine James Bond but dressed by J C Penny instead of Seville Row. But the real essence of satisfaction is that Reacher is bound by a code of honor, based on finding the truth, seeking retribution for those who have been wronged, and imparting immediate justice to the bad guys. Jack Reacher: dangerous, willing and capable.
