Title: Hadassah: An American Story Series: Part of The HBI Series on Jewish Women Author: Hadassah Lieberman Narrator: Hadassah Lieberman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Born in Prague to Holocaust survivors, Hadassah Lieberman and her family immigrated in 1949 to the United States. She went on to earn a BA from Boston University in government and dramatics and an MA in international relations and American government from Northeastern University. She built a career devoted largely to public health that has included positions at Lehman Brothers, Pfizer, and the National Research Council. After her first marriage ended in divorce, she married Joe Lieberman, a US senator from Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for vice president with Al Gore and would go on to run for president. In Hadassah, Lieberman pens the compelling story of her extraordinary life: from her family’s experience in Eastern Europe to their move to Gardner, Massachusetts; forging her career; experiencing divorce; and, following her remarriage, her life on the national political stage. By offering insight into her identity as an immigrant, an American Jew, a working woman, and a wife, mother, and grandmother, Lieberman’s moving memoir speaks to many of the major issues of our time, from immigration to gender politics. Featuring an introduction by Joe Lieberman and an afterword by Megan McCain, it is a true American story.

Title: The Glory Road: A Gospel Gypsy Life Author: Anita Faye Garner Narrator: Pamela Almand Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Stories and songs from a childhood spent in a vanished world of revivals and road shows Anita Faye Garner grew up in the South—just about every corner of it. She and her musical family lived in Texarkana, Bossier City, Hot Springs, Jackson, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Pascagoula, Bogalusa, Biloxi, Gulfport, New Orleans, and points between, picking up sticks every time her father, a Pentecostal preacher known as “Brother Ray,” took over a new congregation. In between jump-starting churches, Brother Ray took his wife and kids out on the gospel revival circuit as the Jones Family Singers. Ray could sing and play, and “Sister Fern” (Mama) was a celebrated singer and songwriter, possessed of both talent and beauty. Rounding out the band were the young Garner (known as Nita Faye then) and her big brother Leslie Ray. At all-day singings and tent revivals across the South, the Joneses made a joyful noise for the faithful and loaded into the car for the next stage of their tour. But growing up gospel wasn’t always joyous. The kids practically raised and fended for themselves, bonding over a shared dislike of their rootless life and strict religious upbringing. Sister Fern dreamed of crossing over from gospel to popular music and recording a hit record. An unlikely combination of preacher’s wife and glamorous performer, she had the talent and presence to make a splash, and her remarkable voice brought Saturday night rock-and-roll to Sunday morning music. Always singing, performing, and recording at the margins of commercial success, Sister Fern shared a backing band with Elvis Presley and wrote songs recorded by Johnny Cash and many other artists. In her touching memoir The Glory Road, Anita Faye Garner re-creates her remarkable upbringing. The story begins with Ray’s attempts to settle down and the family’s inevitable return to the gospel circuit and concludes with Sister Fern’s brushes with stardom and the family’s journey west to California where they finally landed—with some unexpected detours along the way. The Glory Road carries listeners back to the 1950s South and the intersections of faith and family at the very roots of American popular music.

Wie ich mir Deutschland erlesen habe Author: Hellmuth Karasek Narrator: Hellmuth Karasek Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 48 minutes Release date: March 11, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Hellmuth Karasek unterwegs in Deutschland: Aug in Auge mit seinen Lesern ... Hellmuth Karasek erzählt von phantastischen und skurrilen Erlebnissen - und nimmt uns mit auf seine Reisen quer durch die Republik. Als einigermaßen bekannter Autor muss man mit allem rechnen, sagt Hellmuth Karasek: dass einen der Schaffner für den Nobelpreisträger Günter Grass hält, zum Beispiel, und, wenn man den Irrtum aufklärt, mit 'Herr Kasarek' anredet; oder dass die Dame an der Hotelrezeption einen unverdrossen 'Karadzic' nennt, wie den Kriegsverbrecher. Da ist man nach zwölf Lesungen in einem Monat schon glücklich, wenn man kein Handy verloren, keine Kreditkarte verschusselt, keinen Mantel hat hängen lassen und auf die Frage: 'Was ist Ihr größter Fehler' nur noch antwortet: 'Mit neuen Schuhen zu verreisen.' Trotzdem wird er es wieder tun, sozusagen als unverbesserlicher und leidenschaftlicher Wiederholungstäter.-

Title: Silicon: From the Invention of the Microprocessor to the New Science of Consciousness Author: Federico Faggin Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: March 9, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: “As soon as she heard me enter, Elvia awoke from a light sleep that had overcome her as she anxiously waited: ‘How did it go?’ Excited, I exclaimed: ‘It works!’ We embraced, almost overwhelmed with feelings of euphoria and happiness, aware that something epochal had happened. On that cold January night of 1971, the world’s first microprocessor was born!” The creation of the microprocessor launched the digital age. The key technology allowing unprecedented integration, and the design of the world’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004, were the achievement of Federico Faggin. Shrinking an entire computer onto a tiny and inexpensive piece of silicon would come to define our daily lives, imbuing myriad devices and everyday objects with computational intelligence. In Silicon, internationally recognized inventor and entrepreneur Federico Faggin chronicles his “four lives”: his formative years in war-torn Northern Italy, his pioneering work in American microelectronics, his successful career as a high-tech entrepreneur, and his more recent explorations into the mysteries of consciousness. In this heartfelt memoir, Faggin paints vivid anecdotes, steps readers through society-changing technological breakthroughs, and shares personal insights, as each of his lives propels the next.
