This Road I Ride: Sometimes It Takes Losing Everything to Find Yourself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
Raised in the extreme religious cult called the Children of God, Juliana Buhring was frequently punished for being a rebel and finally broke away. Her soul mate was an explorer seeking the source of unmapped rivers in Africa. When he was killed by a crocodile, her world went dark. To escape paralyzing grief, Buhring set herself a goal. Never having seriously ridden a bike, she set out to ride one around the world. Her timing required going the wrong way, against the Earth's rotation and most winds. Supported by a devoted Italian friend, random "road angels", and other ex-cult kids around the world, she traversed small-town and big-mountain America, Australian desert expanses, South Asian rainforests and villages, and Turkish plains, ultimately beating the previous men's record and becoming the fastest woman to cycle the world. Empowering, inspiring, and often humorous, This Road I Ride is testimony to the power of sheer will to overcome any obstacle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Henrietta Meire.

Conquering the Desert of Death: Across the Taklamakan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
The ferocious Taklamakan desert in Central Asia, one of the largest sandy deserts in the world and the harshest on earth, is known by the Chinese as the desert of death or the place of no return. Its unknown depths are said to be haunted by demons and spirits, and legend has it that ancient cities filled with treasure lie lost and buried beneath its dunes.The only certainty is that no human being in history had ever crossed it from end to end. But after five years of planning, in 1993, Charles Blackmore together with a team of the British, the Chinese, and Uyghurs and a caravan of 30 camels, set out to accomplish the seemingly impossible: They would cross the Taklamakan, west to east, directly through its unmapped, untrodden center.Conquering the Desert of Death is at once a deeply personal journey and the story of an adventure that will go down in history as one of the great achievements of exploration. ungekürzt.

The Cassidy Project: Sam Reilly, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean in 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the US military experimented with electromagnetic pulses created by detonating high atmosphere nuclear bombs. The project was code named Starfish Prime. The primary objective was to develop the ability to produce an EMP with enough force to knock out an entire nation’s communications, rendering a retaliatory attack impossible. The secondary objective, along with its consequences, was deemed too important to national security to ever be released. In 1983, an American B52 Nuclear Bomber goes missing somewhere near the Bering Strait while delivering a secret cargo at the express order of President Ronald Reagan to an unmapped island. Present day, in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica, a woman wakes up on a cruise ship to discover she’s the only person left aboard, despite no apparent fault with the ship. Sam Reilly, already on a rescue mission to Antarctica to save five French scientists, may be the only person standing in the way of the completion of The Cassidy Project. ungekürzt.

The Exploration of the Colorado River and its Canyons
With "The Exploration of the Colorado River and its Canyons", readers can explore the one-thousand miles of the Colorado River in its natural state nearly one-hundred and fifty years ago. Legendary explorer John Wesley Powell, accompanied by a crew of close friends and associates, details his travels through the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon at a time when much of the area was unknown to contemporary readers. Starting in Wyoming, the crew travelled the last unmapped area of the continental United States. The work begins as an explanation of the land and geography; Powell focused on the native flora and fauna, calling upon the nature writing tradition that was emerging during the 1800s. Next, Powell drew from his personal diary in order to narrate the group's travels through the breathtaking land. Finally, Powell recounts his journey and discusses the ethnography and cultures of both Native Americans and the early settlers of the new frontier. A classic of wilderness exploration, "The Exploration of the Colorado River and its Canyons" is a must read for any nature lover. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes the hundreds of original illustrations that accompanied the first publication.- Shop: buecher
