For King and Company: Percival Merewether Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 875min
They called themselves the Bombay Buccaneers - and under that flamboyant name they blazed a trail of daring and adventure from the Gulf of Oman to the waters of Macao. For courage, loyalty, and renown few of the Buccaneers could match their Captain, Percival Merewether, a brilliant seaman who was already the hero of a score of fabled sea-faring campaigns. Newly in command of the 36-gun frigate Pitt, Merewether is about to set sail again - this time on a voyage that would plunge him and his crew into new and ever more hazardous trials: a mutiny, a fierce-fought sea battle with the French, and a stormy encounter with the most ferocious pirate ever to hoist a flag: Madame Chin, scourge of the China Seas. ungekürzt.

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution: 25th Anniversary Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1223min
Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers - those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers. Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic" that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II. ungekürzt.

The Night Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 466min
From the author of the best-selling Some Day I'll Find You comes a novel of dark suspense set in the Lake District, where, beneath the inviting water of the lakes, danger and death are waiting. The summer of 1976 was unprecedented in living memory. Days of blazing sunshine bled into weeks and months. In the Lake District, Cumbria's mountains and valleys began to resemble a Grecian landscape. People swam in delightfully tropic waters to cool off. But barely three feet below the surface, the temperature remained just a degree or so above freezing. As the summer blazed on, the drownings began.... What if someone wanted to take revenge? To remove an abusive, controlling partner from their life? When and where better to stage a murder and pass it off as an accidental drowning? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Unconventional (eBook, ePUB)
Ever wonder what would happen if you chased your wildest dream? Where you might end up if you followed your gut, stuck to your vision, and completely reinvented your life? Jamie Garzot never guessed that following her dream would lead to hiding shoeboxes of cash in the spare-tire compartment of her car, but she did know it would be an adventure. When California legalized medical cannabis, Jamie hardly seemed like a candidate to open a collective. A community-relations rep in the corporate sector, she didn't use pot recreationally or consider herself part of the 420 crowd. But when cannabis edibles cured her insomnia, she realized how life changing the plant could be. In Unconventional Jamie shares how she jumped into an untamed industry, stayed true to her vision, and became a cannabis policy and advocacy expert, as well as a top-of-the-line retailer. Dreamers, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers alike will be inspired by Jamie's determination and creativity while she blazed her own trail through the Wild West of California's cannabis industry.- Shop: buecher

William the Conqueror vs King Harold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
What appeared to be a mighty mass of flame, now known as Halley’s Comet, made its rare appearance and blazed across the western sky in 1066. Even rarer than Halley’s Comet was the appearance of three warrior kings on this same year in North West Europe. All three of these warrior-kings felt that they had a claim to the British crown, and all three were known for never taking a step backward. For this reason 1066 was a year unlike any other in Western history. William the Conquerer is one of the most dashing, powerful, and massively influential figures in all of world history. Equally fascinating, I believe, is Harold Godwinson, crowned King Harold II of Angle Land (England) in January of 1066. Haarald (Hard Rule) Hardrada, the Viking warrior/king of Norway, was also a colorful figure who played a major role in the destiny of world history in 1066. Hardly anybody, including college graduates, knows anything about any of these extraordinary men. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Topping.

The Agrarian Vision: Sustainability and Environmental Ethics: Culture of the Land , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 987min
As industry and technology proliferate in modern society, sustainability has jumped to the forefront of contemporary political and environmental discussions. The balance between progress and the Earth's ability to provide for its inhabitants grows increasingly precarious as we attempt to achieve sustainable development. In The Agrarian Vision: Sustainability and Environmental Ethics, Paul B. Thompson articulates a new agrarian philosophy, emphasizing the vital role of agrarianism in modern agricultural practices. Thompson, a highly regarded voice in environmental philosophy, unites concepts of agrarian philosophy, political theory, and environmental ethics to illustrate the importance of creating and maintaining environmentally conscious communities. Thompson describes the evolution of agrarian values in America, following the path blazed by Thomas Jefferson, John Steinbeck, and Wendell Berry. Providing a pragmatic approach to ecological responsibility and commitment, The Agrarian Vision is a significant, compelling argument for the practice of a reconfigured and expanded agrarianism in our efforts to support modern industrialized culture while also preserving the natural world. ungekürzt.
