    One Came Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
    An adventure, a mystery, and a love song to the natural world…Run out and listen to it. Right now. (Newbery Medalist Karen Cushman) In the town of Placid, Wisconsin, in 1871, Georgie Burkhardt is known for two things: her uncanny aim with a rifle and her habit of speaking her mind plainly. But when Georgie blurts out something she shouldn't, her older sister Agatha flees, running off with a pack of "pigeoners" trailing the passenger pigeon migration. And when the sheriff returns to town with an unidentifiable body - wearing Agatha's blue-green ball gown - everyone assumes the worst…Except Georgie. Refusing to believe the facts that are laid down (and coffined) before her, Georgie sets out on a journey to find her sister. She will track every last clue and shred of evidence to bring Agatha home. Yet even with resolute determination and her trusty Springfield single-shot, Georgie is not prepared for what she faces on the western frontier. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tara Sands.

    Need You Now , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    The New York Times best-selling author returns with a gripping, new stand-alone novel ripped from the headlines, in which a young financial advisor and his girlfriend uncover a conspiracy that reaches from Wall Street deep into the halls of government. Abe Cushman, the evil genius behind a $60 billion Ponzi scheme, has killed himself and taken his secrets to the grave. For Patrick Lloyd, a young Wall Street advisor at the world’s largest Swiss bank, Cushman’s fall has unexpected - and deadly - repercussions. Lloyd’s girlfriend, Lilly, is directly tied to billions of dollars in losses suffered by Cushman’s most dangerous victims, a group of powerful investors whose identities and dirty finances are well hidden. What Lilly knows can get her and Patrick killed, and now the pair are in a run for their lives that leads to the heart of a clandestine operation, and to a cabal of powerful officials determined to keep their agenda hidden from the public. With nowhere to turn and no one to trust, Patrick and Lilly must uncover the truth before they become collateral damage in a “financial war” in which casualties are no longer measured in dollars and cents. ungekürzt.

    The search for Bigfoot gets juicy in this funny and touching story that’s perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo’s Flora & Ulysses and the movie Smallfoot!  Lemonade Liberty Witt's mama always told her: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But Lem can't possibly make lemonade out of her new life in Willow Creek, California - the Bigfoot Capital of the World - where she's forced to live with a grandfather she's never met after her mother passes away. Then she meets 11-year-old Tobin Sky, the CEO of Bigfoot Detectives Inc., who is the sole Bigfoot investigator for their small town. After he invites Lem to be his assistant for the summer, they set out on an epic adventure to capture a shot of the elusive beast on film. But along the way, Lem and Tobin end up discovering more than they ever could have imagined. And Lem realizes that maybe she can make lemonade out of her new life after all. "Melissa Savage's astoundingly good debut novel is packed with humor, mystery, friendship, family secrets, and even Bigfoot!

    Advanced Ocean Modelling
    This book focuses on motions of incompressible ?uids of a freely moving surface being in?uenced by both the Earth's rotation and density strati?cation. In contrast to traditional textbooks in the ?eld of geophysical ?uid dynamics, such as those by by Cushman-Roisin (1994) and Gill (1982), this book uses the method of proce- oriented hydrodynamic modelling to illustrate a rich variety of ?uid phenomena. To this end, the reader can adopt the model codes, found on the Springer server accompanying this book, to reproduce most graphs of this book and, even better, to create animation movies. The reader can also employ the codes as templates for own independent studies. This can be done by a lay person as a hobby activity, undergraduate or postgraduate students as part of their education, or professional scientists as part of research. Exercises of this book are run with open-source software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet. This includes the FORTRAN 95 compiler "G95" used for execution of model simulations, the data visualisation program "SciLab", and "ImageMagick" for the creation of graphs and GIF animations, which can be watched with most Internet browsers.

    Muhammad Ali and the Greatest Heavyweight Generation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
    Tom Cushman, one of boxing's great sportswriters, followed the "Ali generation" of fighters from New York to Las Vegas, Nassau to Zaire, reporting for the Philadelphia Daily News from 1966 to 1982 and for the San Diego Tribune, 1982 to 1992. Muhammad Ali and the Greatest Heavyweight Generation chronicles the behind-the-scenes stories of the great athletes in boxing's biggest-and-best age, their victories and struggles, crimes and passions, heydays and swan songs. This collection of essays, gleaned from Cushman's personal files as well as his recent research, brings to light the backgrounds of the fighters in and out of the ring: Liston's tragic death, Foreman's rise from hell to heaven, Holmes' crushing defeat and his great heart, Everett's murder, and everywhere, always, the unforgettable voice and charismatic volume of the astounding Muhammad Ali. Columnist Bill Conlin, Philadelphia Daily News, writes in the book's preface: "This [is] history of the rarest sort the view of a man who not only had lived in the time and recorded the events, but now, a quarter of a century later, who was able to interpret both the athletic imprint left by these dynamic men and the sociological impact of their triumphs and tragedies." The book is published by Southeast Missouri State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Belcher.

    Cold Harbor to the Crater: The End of the Overland Campaign: The Military Campaigns of the Civil War Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
    Between the end of May and the beginning of August 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant and General Robert E. Lee oversaw the transition between the Overland Campaign - a remarkable saga of maneuvering and brutal combat - and what became a grueling siege of Petersburg that many months later compelled Confederates to abandon Richmond. Although many historians have marked Grant's crossing of the James River on June 12 to June 15 as the close of the Overland Campaign, this volume interprets the fighting from Cold Harbor on June 1 to June 3 through the Battle of the Crater on July 30 as the last phase of an operation that could have ended without a prolonged siege. The contributors to this volume assess the campaign from a variety of perspectives, examining strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the centrality of field fortifications, political repercussions in the United States and the Confederacy, the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies, and how the famous Battle of the Crater has resonated in historical memory. As a group the essays highlight the important connections between the home front and the battlefield, showing some of the ways in which military and nonmilitary affairs played off and influenced each other. Contributors include Keith S. Bohannon, Stephen Cushman, M. Keith Harris, Robert E. L. Krick, Kevin M. Levin, Kathryn Shively Meier, Gordon C. Rhea, and Joan Waugh. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Chickasaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Neither the Choctaws nor Chickasaws ever engaged in war against the American people, but always stood as their faithful allies. (Horatio Cushman) From the Trail of Tears to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans who lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture. In Charles River Editors' Native American Tribes series, listeners can get caught up on the history and culture of North America's most famous native tribes in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The Five Civilized Tribes are among the best known Native American groups in American history, and they were even celebrated by contemporary Americans for their abilities to adapt to white culture. But tragically they are also well known tribes due to the trials and tribulations they suffered by being forcibly moved west along the Trail of Tears. Though not as well known as the Cherokee, one of the Five Civilized Tribes was the Chickasaw. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Chickasaw were one of the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and they were among the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto's historic expedition in the mid-16th century. ungekürzt.

Gezeigt wird das wechselvolle Schicksal der Stadt von den wilden Nächten des Jazz Age und die hedonistische Disco-Ära über die düstere Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise bis hin zu den Verheerungen des 11. September und seiner Nachwehen, als sich die gramgebeugten, aber ungebrochenen Bürger der Stadt die Normalität zurück eroberten.Das Buch ist mehr als nur eine beachtliche Hommage an die Metropole und ihr bürgerliches, soziales und fotografischer Erbe. New York: Portrait of a City erweist dem unbeugsamen Geist all derer seine Ehrerbietung, die sich New Yorker nennen: voller Hoffnung und Kraft und fest entschlossen, zwischen den Türmen aus Glas und Granit die selbstgesetzten Ziele zu erreichen.Der Band zeigt hunderte von ikonischen Bildern, die aus dutzenden von Archiven und Privatsammlungen stammen und oft nie zuvor veröffentlicht wurden, aber auch Arbeiten von über 150 berühmten Fotografen wie etwa Victor Prevost, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Weegee, Margaret Bourke-White, Saul Leiter, Esther Bubley, Arnold Newman, William Claxton, Ralph Gibson, Ryan McGinley, Mitch Epstein, Steve Schapiro, Marvin Newman, Allen Ginsberg, Joel Meyerowitz, Andreas Feininger, Charles Cushman, Joseph Rodriguez, Garry Winogrand, Larry Fink, Jamal Shabazz, Allan Tannenbaum, Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, Eugene de Salignac, James Nachtwey, Ruth Orkin, Joel Sternfeld, Keizo Kitajima und vielen anderen.Auf insgesamt fast 600 Seiten voller bewegender, atmosphärischer Bilder von der Mitte des 19.

Oder dem urbanen Strand von Coney Island und dem verruchten Times Square, den Weiten des Central Park und den Menschenmengen auf der 5th Avenue. Straßen, Gehwege, Chaos, Energie, ethnische Vielfalt, Kultur, Mode, Architektur, Zorn und Komplexität der Stadt - all dies wird in diesem Band Block für Block dargelegt. Schließlich handelt es sich um die großartigste Stadt der Welt, und entsprechend groß sind Extreme, Widersprüche und Auftreten.Mehr als eine Würdigung der Metropole und ihres bürgerlichen, sozialen und fotografischen Erbes ist New York: Porträt einer Stadt eine Hommage an die Unbezwingbarkeit jener Menschen, die sich New Yorker nennen: voller Hoffnung und Stärke und fest entschlossen, zwischen all den Türmen aus Glas und Granit erfolgreich zu sein.Der Band zeigt Hunderte von ikonischen Bildern, die aus Dutzenden von Archiven und Privatsammlungen stammen - viele davon bisher unveröffentlicht -, aber auch Arbeiten von über 150 berühmten Fotografen wie etwa Victor Prevost, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Weegee, Margaret Bourke-White, Saul Leiter, Esther Bubley, Arnold Newman, William Claxton, Ralph Gibson, Ryan McGinley, Mitch Epstein, Steve Schapiro, Marvin Newman, Allen Ginsberg, Joel Meyerowitz, Andreas Feininger, Charles Cushman, Joseph Rodriguez, Garry Winogrand, Larry Fink, Jamel Shabazz, Allan Tannenbaum, Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, Eugene de Salignac, James Nachtwey, Ruth Orkin, Joel Sternfeld, Keizo Kitajima und vielen anderen.
