Edgar Allan Poe: The Life of a Genius Who Was Misunderstood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
Edgar Allan Poe is a name synonymous with horror stories. In popular culture he is imaged with a black, ominous raven on his arm, while the slight smirk on his face could be an indication of a secret he knows which we don't. His influence ranges beyond just appearing in a few episodes of The Simpsons and being the inspiration for the name of a football team. The story of his life is almost as interesting as his own poems and works of fiction. How many broken hearts did he leave behind? Has science been able to prove the cause of his mysterious death? Who is the stealthy hooded man who left a bottle of cognac and three roses at his grave for 75 years? The mysteries of Poe's own life have fueled the persona surrounding his character. Discover old letters that were exchanged between him and his friends, letters he wrote to the women who loved him, and the circumstances of his own death. Deduce for yourself whether the literary genius that is celebrated the world over was a madman or just an ordinary man of letters who was trying to make a living. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Chandra's Cosmos: Dark Matter, Black Holes, and Other Wonders Revealed by NASA's Premier X-Ray Observatory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
On July 23, 1999, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built, was launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Since then, Chandra has given us a view of the universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive only to visible light. In Chandra's Cosmos, Wallace H. Tucker uses a series of short, connected stories to describe the telescope's exploration of the hot, high-energy face of the universe. The book is organized in three parts: The Big, covering the cosmic web, dark energy, dark matter, and massive clusters of galaxies; The Bad, exploring neutron stars, stellar black holes, and supermassive black holes; and The Beautiful, discussing stars, exoplanets, and life. Chandra has imaged the spectacular, glowing remains of exploded stars and taken spectra showing the dispersal of their elements. Chandra has observed the region around the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way and traced the separation of dark matter from normal matter in the collision of galaxies. Tucker explores the implications of these observations in an entertaining, informative narrative aimed at space buffs and general listeners alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Perkins.

The Boiling River: TED Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 157min
In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific study, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist journeys deep into the Amazon - where rivers boil and legends come to life. When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a mysterious legend: There is a river, deep in the Amazon, that boils as if a fire burns below it. Twelve years later, Ruzo - now a geoscientist - hears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river. Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imaged. The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates a tangle of competing interests - local shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil companies. This true account reads like a modern-day adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details - including a never-before-published account about this incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling River is about a man trying to understand the moral obligation that comes with scientific discovery - to protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even his own discovery. ungekürzt.

Enchanting Sarah Greenberg (eBook, ePUB)
Food critic Sarah Greenberg is a normal thirty-nine-year-old content with her ordinary life. In fact, the only real excitement she has is the occasional hand she lends at her family's Chicago magic shop. Until one day when the ordinary becomes extraordinary and a simple introduction to her boyfriend's teenage daughter unearths a family trait long dormant in Sarah. Without even trying, she can do magic. Her newfound, though late-blooming abilities make her part of a world she never imaged and her family's long lineage of Magycians unravels Sarah's world. But when she discovers her family's store is danger of being taken away by an old acquaintance named Zondra Bex, Sarah is forced to face an enemy more skilled and decades older than she. Sarah must learn to develop her skills to protect her family from a foe that wants to wield the power embedded in the store's location and rule the Magyckal world. But will embracing her newly discovered abilities eradicate everything she believed herself to be? Part rom-com, part The Dresden Files with a dash of Jewish mythology, ENCHANTING SARAH GREENBERG is a funny, fantastical look into a woman's struggle to find herself, believe in herself, and prove to everyone that she is extraordinary in her own way. "Inglis has a light, comedic touch with this fantasy romance, Enchanting Sarah Greenberg… [The] slightly bonkers worldbuilding brings the fun without ever sacrificing genuine emotion; despite the magical backdrop, Sarah and Colin feel wonderfully grounded. Readers will be spellbound." - Publisher's Weekly- Shop: buecher

The Search for Exoplanets: What Astronomers Know, Hörbuch, Digital, 737min
As recently as 1990, it seemed plausible that the solar system was a unique phenomenon in our galaxy. Thanks to advances in technology and clever new uses of existing data, now we know that planetary systems and possibly even a new Earth can be found throughout galaxies near and far. We are living during a new golden age of planetary discovery, with the prospect of finding many worlds like Earth. Most of the thousands of planets we've detected can't be imaged directly, but researchers are able to use subtle clues obtained in ingenious ways to assemble an astonishing picture of planetary systems far different from our own. We are in the midst of an astronomical revolution, comparable to the Copernican revolution that established our current view of the solar system - and we invite you to take part. Embark on this unrivaled adventure in 24 lectures by a veteran planet hunter. Designed for everyone from armchair explorers to serious skywatchers, The Search for Exoplanets follows the numerous twists and turns in the hunt for exoplanets - the false starts, the sudden breakthroughs, and the extraordinary discoveries. Explore systems containing super-Earths, mini-Neptunes, lava worlds, and even stranger worlds. You also get behind-the-scenes information on the techniques astronomers used to find evidence of planets at mind-boggling distances from our home base. Learn how astronomers determine how many planets are in a system as well as how large they are and the characteristics of their atmospheres. You will feel like Dr. Watson in the presence of Sherlock Holmes as Professor Winn extracts a wealth of information from a spectrum, a light graph, a diffraction pattern, and other subtle clues.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Escape to a World of Understanding: Antidote to Hatred against Muslims, Christians and People Everywhere , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min
Escape to A World of Understanding: Antidote to Hatred against Muslims, Christians and People Everywhere "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." (Rick Joyner)Have you ever imaged a world without wars, terrorism, corruption, islamophobia, crusades, jihads, hunger, strive, racism, fights, divorce, natural disasters, disease, poverty, and death? Is it possible for people to live in harmony, unity and peace? Can you and I look at the person on the other side of the room, community or the world with a heart of understanding rather than suspicion?In the last 100 years or more, humanity continue to make giant leaps in discoveries about our world, people, places and things, and yet peace seems to elude us and love has become a scarce commodity. The knowledge we have accumulated over the years continue to be applied rightly or wrongly based on the accuracy of the information at our disposal and depth of our understanding.As a Christian, I have written this book to call to our brothers and sisters in Christ to a heart of understanding based on the foundation of love towards Muslims and members of other faiths or believe system outside our own. This will also open the eyes of members of other faith towards the Christian faith so wise decisions can be made as we pilgrim this planet full of human beings. Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived says in the book of Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."Wisdom is the application of knowledge but in applying this knowledge, we need an understanding heart. We cannot have an understanding heart without love. At the end of this auidobook, you will gain an understanding heart towards others, those of other faiths and especially towards Muslims t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ryan Peterson.

Quick Draw (eBook, ePUB)
Just as it is useful to have a mental map of the streets to plan the best route in traveling across town, it is useful to have mental images of mathematical patterns and relationships. If a student has constructed a network of imaged based mathematical meanings, then solutions to problems can be more easily devised. If a person only knows one way and the task is not straight forward, solving the problem may not be possible. In doing mathematics, it is beneficial to recognize that there is more than one way to solve a problem or complete a routine task. It is also important to believe that you can solve the problem. Spatial sense is essential for all aspects of mathematics. When a student sees the word 'hexagon' it is important that an image of a hexagon is formed in the brain. When a student sees a set of four dots, it is important that an image of this display is registered and evokes the word 'four' rather that triggered the rote response of counting by ones. When a student is asked to find the perimeter of a rectangle, it is important that they image a rectangle and think of the distance around rather the plugging numbers into some formula. When an algebra student sees the equation y = x2, it is important that an image of the graph of this equation is formed rather then seeing it as just a collection of symbols to be manipulated. Mathematics is about patterns and relationships and these involve mental images. Quick Draw is designed to develop powerful mental imagery that will come in to play in both numerical and geometric settings and to encourage students to explore alternative ways to solve a problem. When a figure is shown, a Variety of interpretations are possible and learning that other persons see it differently can be liberating. The is student can come to believe there is not just one way to solve a problem but that there are many ways of doing a mathematics task. Students who hold such a belief will be more likely to explore alternatives and act meaningfully than a student who believes there is just one way to do the task. The latter belief can be quite debilitating . As students are engaged in doing mathematics, they are likely to fear forgetting THE way to do the task and develop a levee of anxiety while a student who realizes there are many ways to approach the task can be more confident, realizing that can devise their own path. Thus one of the goals of Quick Draw is to help students form the belief that problems can be solve in many ways and they have the capacity to construct their own way which makes sense to them- Shop: buecher
