The Golden Shrine: A Tale of War at the Dawn of Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min

The glaciers came and covered the world with ice. Now they are in retreat. North of the city of Nidaros, north of the forest, north of the steppes where the nomadic Bizogots hunt, a gap has opened in the ice-wall. And down through that gap come the men who call themselves "Rulers." Their terrifying cavalry rides wooly mammoths. Their bows can shoot arrows farther than those of the southerners. Their wizards wield power that neither the shamans of the Bizogots nor the wizards of Raumsdalian Empire can match---a magic that can melt the stone beneath a man's feet, call down blasting fire from the sky, or decimate a tribe with plagues that have no cure. Scattered survivors of the Bizogot tribes hide from the Rulers. The Empire is shattered. The feckless Emperor Sigvat II is in hiding. Against the Rulers stands Count Hamnet Thyssen and his small band of friends: Jarl Trasamund of the Three Tusk Bizogots; the adventurer Ulric Skakki; and, most important, Marcovefa, the female shaman of a cannibal tribe that lives atop the Glacier itself. Marcovefa has magic that the Rulers cannot counter. But there are many Rulers, and they have many wizards. Marcovefa is but one. Perhaps Hamnet and his allies can save their lands from the Rulers. But first they must seek out the legendary Golden Shrine---and the Golden Shrine has not been seen by human eyes since the time before the glaciers came. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Big Questions of Neuroscience, Hörbuch, Digital, 325min

Ever stopped to think about your brain? We mean, really think. Is your brain - or any brain, for that matter - better than others? Is there something in your brain that makes you you, as opposed to someone else? Certainly, what makes your brain any different from the brain of a mouse? Or a whale? As you can imagine, there’s a lot going on inside our heads that we’re not aware of. Thankfully, we have neuroscientists out there whose entire mission is to better understand the perplexing nature of how the human brain works. And what they’ve discovered about the diversity of our brains could revolutionize not just science but also your own everyday life. Encompassing 10 mind-blowing (pun intended) lectures, Big Questions of Neuroscience invites you on a profound journey into the secrets of the human brain. Guided by neuroscience professor Suzana Herculano-Houzel, you’ll investigate some of the most perplexing and misunderstood issues in this cutting-edge scientific field. For example: Can you actually train your brain to become more intelligent over time or are you stuck with the brain you’re born with? Why does it take so long for your human brain to develop and what might some evolutionary benefits be for that tardiness? How does our concept of self-awareness compare with that of a dog’s? If someone asked you to explain consciousness to them, how could you do so in a way that’s scientifically accurate? Brace yourself for 10 epic conundrums that you’ll be thinking about for quite a while. Language: English. Narrator: Suzana Herculano-Houzel.

A Column of Fire, Hörbuch, Digital, 732min

The saga that has enthralled the millions of fans of The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End now continues with Ken Follett's magnificent, gripping A Column of Fire. Christmas 1558, and young Ned Willard returns home to Kingsbridge to find his world has changed. The ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn by religious hatred. Europe is in turmoil as high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty and love, and Ned soon finds himself on the opposite side from the girl he longs to marry, Margery Fitzgerald. Then Elizabeth Tudor becomes queen, and all of Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch immediately sets up the country's first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions and invasion plans. Elizabeth knows that alluring, headstrong Mary Queen of Scots lies in wait in Paris. Part of a brutally ambitious French family, Mary has been proclaimed the rightful ruler of England, with her own supporters scheming to get rid of the new queen. Over a turbulent half century, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed, as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. With Elizabeth clinging precariously to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of resourceful spies and courageous secret agents, it becomes clear that the real enemies - then as now - are not the rival religions. The true battle pitches those who believe in tolerance and compromise against the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everyone else - no matter the cost. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

The Not so Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters, Hörbuch, Digital, 344min

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Is this all there is to life?" Or wondering if this bigger life you have created is actually a better life? And do you wonder how it all got so out of control? In her groundbreaking best seller The Not so Big House, architect Sarah Susanka showed us a new way to inhabit our houses by creating homes that were better - not bigger. Now, in The Not so Big Life, Susanka takes her revolutionary philosophy to another dimension by showing us a new way to inhabit our lives.Most of us have lives that are as cluttered with unwanted obligations as our attics are cluttered with things. The bigger-is-better idea that triggered the explosion of McMansions has spilled over to give us McLives. For many of us, our ability to find the time to do what we want to do has come to a grinding halt. Now, we barely have time to take a breath before making the next call on our cell phone while at the same time messaging someone else on our Blackberry. Our schedules are chaotic and overcommitted, leaving us so stressed that we are numb, yet we wonder why we cannot fall asleep at night.In The Not so Big Life, Susanka shows us that it is possible to take our finger off the fast-forward button, and to our surprise, we find how effortless and rewarding this change can be. We do not have to lead a monastic life or give up the things we love. In fact, the real joy of leading a not so big life is discovering that the life we love has been there the entire time. Through simple exercises and inspiring stories, Susanka shows us that all we need to do is make small shifts in our day - subtle movements that open our minds as if we were finally opening the windows to let in fresh air.The Not so Big Life reveals that form and function serve not only architectural aims, but life goals as well. Just as we can tear down interior walls to reveal space, we can tear down our fears and assumptions to open up new poss Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Susanka.
