Die Inka

Von der Kultur der Inka geht nach wie vor eine große Faszination aus. Ganz und gar nicht zu Unrecht, denn die Kultur der Inka würde heute nicht nur mit einem, sondern gleich mit mehreren Superlativen ins "Guinness-Buch der Rekorde" eingehen: das größte Reich, die größte Armee, das größte Straßennetz und der größte Goldschatz des Alten Amerika. In knapp hundert Jahren (1438-1534 n. Chr.) hatten die Inka ein Imperium errichtet, das sich auf einer Länge von fast 5000 km von Kolumbien bis nach Chile erstreckte. Auf den vorangehenden Kulturen wie Chavín, Moche oder Tiahuanaco aufbauend, übertrafen die Inka diese in vielerlei Hinsicht. Die Inka-Herrscher verstanden sich, ähnlich wie die Pharaonen des Alten Ägypten, als Söhne des Sonnengottes. Sie führten einen aufwendigen Hofstaat und ihr Reichtum war legendär. Der vorliegende Band stellt die Geschichte und Kultur der Inka sowie die Eroberung des Inka-Reiches durch die Spanier dar und geht auch auf die Kulturen vor der Inka-Zeit ein und auf das, was von den Inka blieb. So ist das Quechua, die Sprache der Inka, bis heute die Amtssprache in Peru, Bolivien und Ecuador und nicht das einzige Erbe der Inka.

The Secret Life of Clams: The Mysteries and Magic of Our Favorite Shellfish , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min

Get up close and personal with an amazing creature that has invaded our lexicon as well as our restaurants. It breathes with tubes, it has no head or brain, it feeds through a filter, and it is the source of dozens of familiar proverbs ("happy as a clam!"). Clams, it turns out, have been worshipped (by the Moche people of ancient Peru), used as money (by the Algonquin Indians), and consumed by people for thousands of years. Yet The Secret Life of Clams is the first adult trade book to deal exclusively with this gastronomic treat that is more complex than its simple two shells might reveal. The Secret Life of Clams features compelling insights, captivating biology, wry observations, and up-to-the-minute natural history that will keep listeners engaged and enthralled. Written by award-winning science author Anthony D. Fredericks, The Secret Life of Clams includes a comfortable infusion of humor, up-to-date research, fascinating individuals (scientists and laypeople alike), and the awe of a fellow explorer as he guides listeners on a journey of wonder and adventure. Along with an appreciation for oceanic creatures, this is a guidebook for armchair marine biologists everywhere who seek amazing discoveries in concert with compelling narration.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 764min

From the best-selling author of 1177 B.C., a comprehensive history of archaeology - from its amateur beginnings to the cutting-edge science it is today. In 1922, Howard Carter peered into Tutankhamun's tomb for the first time, the only light coming from the candle in his outstretched hand. Urged to tell what he was seeing through the small opening he had cut in the door to the tomb, the Egyptologist famously replied, "I see wonderful things". Carter's fabulous discovery is just one of the many spellbinding stories told in Three Stones Make a Wall. Written by Eric Cline, an archaeologist with more than 30 seasons of excavation experience, Three Stones Make a Wall traces the history of archaeology from an amateur pursuit to the cutting-edge science it is today by taking the listener on a tour of major archaeological sites and discoveries, from Pompeii to Petra, Troy to the Terracotta Warriors, and Mycenae to Megiddo and Masada. Cline brings to life the personalities behind these digs, including Heinrich Schliemann, the former businessman who excavated Troy, and Mary Leakey, whose discoveries advanced our understanding of human origins. The discovery of the peoples and civilizations of the past is presented in vivid detail, from the Hittites and Minoans to the Inca, Aztec, and Moche. Along the way, the book addresses the questions archaeologists are asked most often: How do you know where to dig? How are excavations actually done? How do you know how old something is? Who gets to keep what is found? Taking listeners from the pioneering digs of the 18th century to the exciting new discoveries being made today, Three Stones Make a Wall is a lively and essential introduction to the story of archaeology. ungekürzt.

Unearthed: The Immortal Legacy Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min

Alice Lange was just another small town college girl trying to find her place in the world. In her last undergraduate semester, Alice enrolls in a class with Indiana's renowned archaeologist, Andrew St. John, and her life is never the same. From the moment St. John enters the classroom Alice's life is plunged into the dangerous waters of his past. For Andrew St. John carries a secret so dangerous it has caused the death of everyone he has ever cared about and Alice Lange has just made it to the top of death's list. From one simple meeting, one longing glance witnessed by the darkness itself, would emerge a cause and effect storm of epic proportions. Can St. John save the woman he loves or, like everyone who came before her, will he lose her forever? Unearthed, book two in The Immortal Legacy Series, is a tale of blood, passion, pain, abduction, death, and eternal life. Unearthed touches on topics of vampirism as an immortal virus, the study of archaeology, and the religious and cultural practices of the Moche people in South America. Unearthed is set in the Midwestern college town of Bloomington, Indiana, but ventures forth into Peru, South America, and Cody, Wyoming during important climactic scenes. The Immortal Legacy Series begins with book one, Unreal, and tells the story of a young woman and the two immortal men who stole her heart. The concept of immortality is portrayed in this series as a genetic trait that upon the death of its carrier restores life and limb. Unreal sets the stage for the series introducing the concept of immortality as genetic, while playing off of true historical concepts such as the Greco-Persian wars and the Persian King Xerxes' immortal guard of 10,000 men. ungekürzt.
