The Soviet invasion continues...First Lieutenant Darren White is trapped behind enemy lines with the remnants of his cavalry troop. Together with his second-in-command, Maurice Fitzgerald, he waits for the right opportunity to strike back at the Russians in occupied West Germany. As they conduct joint operations with a Special Forces team in the Fulda Gap, a terrible secret is uncovered. The Soviets have found a sure-fire way to win the war. It's up to White and Fitzgerald to stop them. A daring operation might just be enough to make or break the Soviet war effort in Fulda. Will Fitzgerald and White's personal differences doom the attempt?Sergeant Will Harland is an Abrams tank gunner who wakes up in a Russian prison camp. Each day is a battle for survival. When he is "volunteered" to work at the local field hospital, a Russian doctor takes him under his wing. Harland discovers that a high-ranking American colonel under his care will be sent east to be tortured for vital information. To save him, Harland must give up his own chance at escape. Will he go with his conscience or give in to self-preservation?Excerpt from the book:"What do you have for me?""T-62. Range...580." White gave him the all-clear, and the main gun blasted out a round at the Soviet vehicle. The loader turned and grabbed another round from the ready rack. Both M1s on either side of his tank fired in rapid one-two succession. White looked through the vision blocks near his hatch and caught sight of three burning T-62s.The tank bounded up the hillocks and ran down the depressions as if it were a boat riding the waves of a frozen ocean. White felt his gut drop as they charged up another incline, only to spot a milky contrail to his right. "Missile!" he shouted. "Incoming missile. Drive!" ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Lost Stagecoach: Loner with a Badge, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 242min

Before the gunman approached, Hank turned to walk back up the incline as though to lead the hostage taker to his partner. Again, he passed Stone without missing a step. This not only led the varmint onward, but placed Hank out of the crossfire. As things went, there wasn't a crossfire. Stone waited until the man was within about 30 feet. Drawing a bead between his eyes, he blew out the back of his head, leaving him with no further inclination to proceed. Before the outlaw could fall to lie where he was shot, the women screamed and Hank dove for cover. For all practical purposes it was over. But Stone wasn't one to risk his life on a postulation. Standing in a crouching position, he took several shells from his pocket and replaced his spent ammunition. A chill went up his spine as he realized he had just fired the last round in the magazine. Stone and his fellow deputies now have five prisoners, including a woman. These outlaws, along with the three he was forced to kill a few days before and another four the lawmen killed this morning, should wrap up this thing. All they have to do now is escort the prisoners to the nearest jail, however far that may be. But something about the best laid plans of men and mice soon comes into play. No sooner have they reached the nearest telegraph office and informed the stage owner his troubles have been resolved, when things take a nasty turn. In his reply, the owner tells Stone another stage has been robbed and another is missing. Stone will have to leave the prisoners with the other deputies and turn back. This time, he does not intend to take any prisoners. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carl Hausman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/064942/bk_acx0_064942_sample.mp3.

American Culture and Society: A Book to Know the USA , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

Stuart Hall has wrote that social character is definitely not a "fixed quintessence...lying unaltered outside history and culture", and isn't "[a] for the last time...to which we can make some last and total Return", yet is "built through memory, dream, account and fantasy...made inside the talk of history and culture", and consequently can't be basically characterized or "recuperated" like some lost, bona fide being (in Rutherford 1990: 226). To think about the possibility of social character, in this manner, is to look at the lines and talks of its development and to perceive the presence inside it of numerous implications. As the presentation recommended, the USA is where various personalities mix and impact, a gathering, an variety, continually delivering and replicating new selves and trans-shaping old ones and, in this manner, can't profess to have a solitary, shut character with a particular arrangement of qualities. A few Americans, be that as it may, incline toward the idea of character to be authoritative, fixed and obviously encompassed by unmistakable limits and definitions. For instance, some would mind to consider white, male and hetero as the standard proportion of "Americanness", with a deep regard for the banner and a solid feeling of local character, say, toward the South or to Louisiana or Boston. Nonetheless, these are ideological places that are not shared or agent of the country in general; to be sure, no arrangement of convictions or qualities can be, and this is accurately the point. Rather, America must be deciphered or 'read' as a perplexing, multifaceted content with a rich cluster of various characters and occasions, inside which exist many challenging voices recounting to different and various stories. Furthermore, likewise with any such content, there are interior strains, shows and inconsistencies which contribute, without a doubt, establish what may be called its personality. ungekürzt.

The Fermi Paradox: The History and Legacy of the Famous Debate over the Existence of Aliens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min

“The size and age of the universe incline us to believe that many technologically advanced civilizations must exist. However, this belief seems logically inconsistent with our lack of observational evidence to support it. Either (1) the initial assumption is incorrect and technologically advanced intelligent life is much rarer than we believe, or (2) our current observations are incomplete and we simply have not detected them yet, or (3) our search methodologies are flawed and we are not searching for the correct indicators, or (4) it is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself.” (The Fermi Paradox)As technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens. While incidents like the one at Roswell led to conspiracies and a craze among those who insisted the government was hiding proof of extraterrestrials’ existence, governments across the world were actually secretly studying UFO sightings by the mid-20th century.Given all of that, it would hardly be groundbreaking for scientists in the 20th century to have a lunchtime discussion in which the search for extraterrestrial life arises, and the question of where it might reside is innocuous enough. However, a furor was created somewhat innocently when physicist Enrico Fermi voiced his “casual lunchtime remark” in the presence of colleagues in 1950. The august company included Edward Teller, a Hungarian physicist, Herbert York, am American nuclear physicist whose lineage included Mohawk heritage, and Emil Konopinski, a nuclear physicist of Polish origin. Fermi himself, an Italian-American born in Rome, was renowned for developing a statistical base for subatomic phenomena, work on nuclear alterations caused by neutrons, and for leading the first controlled chain reaction from nuclear fission. In pursuit of managing the atom, he created the first nuclear reactor. A gifted theoretician, he adva ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2199min

“If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this - the most inspiring book I've ever read."- Bill Gates (May, 2017)Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the YearThe author of Enlightenment Now and The New York Times bestseller The Stuff of Thought offers a controversial history of violence.Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, programs, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives - the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away - and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audib ungekürzt.

An Introduction to System Modeling and Control

A practical and straightforward exploration of the basic tools for the modeling, analysis, and design of control systemsIn An Introduction to System Modeling and Control, Dr. Chiasson delivers an accessible and intuitive guide to understanding modeling and control for students in electrical, mechanical, and aerospace/aeronautical engineering. The book begins with an introduction to the need for control by describing how an aircraft flies complete with figures illustrating roll, pitch, and yaw control using its ailerons, elevators, and rudder, respectively. The book moves on to rigid body dynamics about a single axis (gears, cart rolling down an incline) and then to modeling DC motors, DC tachometers, and optical encoders. Using the transfer function representation of these dynamic models, PID controllers are introduced as an effective way to track step inputs and reject constant disturbances.It is further shown how any transfer function model can be stabilized using output pole placement and on how two-degree of freedom controllers can be used to eliminate overshoot in step responses. Bode and Nyquist theory are then presented with an emphasis on how they give a quantitative insight into a control system's robustness and sensitivity. An Introduction to System Modeling and Control closes with chapters on modeling an inverted pendulum and a magnetic levitation system, trajectory tracking control using state feedback, and state estimation. In addition the book offers:* A complete set of MATLAB/SIMULINK files for examples and problems included in the book.* A set of lecture slides for each chapter.* A solutions manual with recommended problems to assign.* An analysis of the robustness and sensitivity of four different controller designs for an inverted pendulum (cart-pole).Perfect for electrical, mechanical, and aerospace/aeronautical engineering students, An Introduction to System Modeling and Control will also be an invaluable addition to the libraries of practicing engineers.

The Man in the Blue Fez: A Birth of an Assassin Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min

The sun had begun its descent towards the western horizon and the promise of warmth was sinking with it. Gold and pink rays glancing off mountaintops spread as one over the frozen lake below. Midway up a mountain slope overlooking the lake and not too far from where the Urals trailed off into the wasteland, Pavel Rostislav lay in wait. A light wind whispered across the incline, bringing cold that found a way through his winter gear and set him shivering. He snuggled into the hollow cut from the compacted snow as far as he dared, but knew there could be no respite. He had to hold his vigil. With teeth gritted, he raised the standard issue field glasses to his eyes and scoped the fishing hole in the ice lake while trying to ignore the freezing barbs that spiked at his bones. Time pressed on and he took a moment of it to glance at the thermometer on the backpack by his side, shuddering to see the temperature had dropped to minus 50. Mist clouds would be visible to an enemy, so he expelled his breath against the chinstrap on his snowsuit, but then small ice crystals bunched up there and he exhaled in exasperation, irritation nipping at his spirit. The sun dropped below the peaks and the ice lake turned bluish grey while the sky on the eastern horizon reflected mauve tiers on snow-knuckled mountains. Snow flurries lifted from drifts nearby and snaked down into the basin, dancing like ashes blown from a dead fire. Pavel's goggles took the color down a notch further and his heart sank. All he wanted now was to get this thing done and return to camp. However, just as he began feeling that his blood might turn to an icy sludge or his body may be only moments away from paralysis, a blur on the landscape took human shape and his spirits lifted. Shrouded in a heavy arctic snowsuit, the man moved slowly yet gracefully towards the fishing pole sticking up from the ice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Kleinman.

Kishio Suga: Writings: 1969-1979

Emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he quickly established himself at the forefront of the loose cohort of artists, now known as Mono-ha, who radically redefined postwar Japanese art through their ephemeral interventions into both institutional and everyday spaces. Often working with raw natural and industrial elements, Suga gained recognition for installations such as Parallel Strata (1969), a fortress-like configuration of slabs of paraffin wax that subtly deformed in response to the environmental conditions at the venue, and Infinite Situation II (steps) (1970), for which he altered the function of a stairwell at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, by covering its steps with sand smoothed to reflect the grade of the incline. Such works were conceived by Suga as "situations," or expansive fields where objects engage each other through relations of fundamental equality and interdependence. According to Suga, the elements of a situation exist in a state of "being left" that activates viewers by its very resistance to being processed as information. In denying the agency of the artist, this vision was an early argument for the agency of all things. Kishio Suga Writings, 1969-1979 is the first volume in an authoritative anthology of translations that will, for the first time, offer English readers a thorough understanding of Suga's thought. It features the trilogy of formative texts Suga wrote in 1968-69 under the penname Katsuragawa Sei; fragmentary statements published in the exhibition listings section of the magazine Bijutsu Techo from 1972 to 1981; and groundbreaking essays spanning the 1970s. This volume also includes a substantial introductory essay by Andrew Maerkle on the theoretical implications of translating Suga, along with commentary by Maerkle on each of the translated texts, and a glossary of Suga terms. Additionally, an essay by Ashley Rawlings addresses the history of the translation of Suga's artwork titles. Illustrations of Suga's works appear throughout.
