In From Here to Eternity, she sets out in search of cultures unburdened by such fears.In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. She meets Bolivian ñatitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to the Japanese ritual of kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes.With curiosity and morbid humour, Doughty introduces us to inspiring death-care innovators, participates in powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in the West and explores new spaces for mourning - including a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in Japan, a candlelit Mexican cemetery and America's only open-air pyre. In doing so she expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity and reveals unexpected possibilities for our own death rituals.Read by Caitlin Doughty.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

And the work of noted genre writers began to be adapted in movies and radio programs. Based (however implausibly) on science, these radio broadcasts reflected the depths of the nation's fears and the boundlessness of its imagination.The science fiction series presented here - including X Minus One, 2000 Plus, and Exploring Tomorrow - offer adventures that seek to find a place for humanity in a world of machines, weighing the value of life and beauty against automated convenience and cold efficiency. The mission of science fiction is more than an exploration of space and time. It is also an exploration of man's values...of who we are and who we want to be.This 10-hour collection includes 22 digitally remastered and restored atom age episodes.Episodes Include: X Minus One: The Cave of Night 02-01-56, C-Chute 02-08-56, The Lifeboat Mutiny 09-11-56, Sam, This Is You 10-31-56, Honeymoon in Hell 12-26-56, Something for Nothing 04-10-57, The Discovery of Mornial Mathaway 04-17-57, Man's Best Friend 04-24-57; 2000 Plus: The Brooklyn Brain 06-21-50, The Green Thing 09-27-50; Worlds Apart 11-15-50, The Insect 08-15-51; Hall of Fantasy: The Automaton 02-27-53; Exploring Tomorrow: The Adventure of the Beauty Queen 1958, First Baby in Space (a.k.a.

They switched their roles upon discovering that Gracie's delivery got a bigger laugh than George's punch lines. The duo became a big hit on Vaudeville and in films so when radio beckoned, they delivered. Their first regular radio work was as supporting players on CBS's The Guy Lombardo Show in the 1930s. When Lombardo switched to NBC, George and Gracie took over the show. Early on, the two did not play a married couple on the air. For a long time, they continued a 'flirtation act' with George as Gracie's most persistent suitor. But when the show's ratings began to sag toward the end of the 1930s, George decided it was time their real-life marriage was written into the show. The new format included husband-and-wife characters in a situation comedy setting. George's instincts were spot-on and The Burns & Allen Show went on to new heights, eventually making a successful transition to television.7/29/40 Going to a Kiddie Party9/30/40 George Disappears11/17/42 Hat Box Hostage1/26/43 King George Becomes a Royal Pain2/2/43 Good Help is Hard to Find3/23/43 Making George Sick3/30/43 Victory Garden10/26/43 Guest: Hedy Lamarr11/2/43 Guest: Jack Benny12/21/43 Guests: Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester12/28/43 Guest: John Garfield1/25/50 Guest: Ronald ReaganContact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Simply put, it is a movement whose aim is to use technology to fundamentally change the human condition, to improve our bodies and minds to the point where we become something other, and better, than the animals we are. It's a philosophy that, depending on how you look at it, can seem hopeful, or terrifying, or absurd.In To Be a Machine, Mark O'Connell presents us with the first full-length exploration of transhumanism: its philosophical and scientific roots, its key players and possible futures. From charismatic techies seeking to enhance the body to immortalists who believe in the possibility of 'solving' death, and from computer programmers quietly redesigning the world to vast competitive robotics conventions, To Be a Machine is an adventure in Wonderland for our time.To Be a Machine paints a vivid portrait of an international movement driven by strange and frequently disturbing ideas and practices but whose obsession with transcending human limitations can be seen as a kind of cultural microcosm, a radical intensification of our broader faith in the power of technology as an engine of human progress. It is a character study of human eccentricity and a meditation on the immemorial desire to transcend the basic facts of our animal existence - a desire as primal as the oldest religions, a story as old as the earliest literary texts. A stunning new nonfiction voice tackles an urgent question...what next for mankind?Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
