    Crude Carrier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
    When a sailor dies under unusual circumstances, Raiford goes undercover on the high seas. The Rossi family received only a handful of letters after their son shipped out on the supertanker Aurora Victorious. The first dispatches were from Harold himself, describing the blend of tedium and excitement that defined life onboard the ship. The last communication came from the ship's owners: four brief sentences informing them that their son had died and been buried at sea. Desperate to know more, the Rossis turn to James and Julie Raiford, the father-daughter detective team behind the Touchstone Agency. As the Raifords soon learn, work on the open sea is dangerous--and asking questions can be deadly. When the shipping company stonewalls the investigation, James joins the Aurora Victorious as an electronics officer, and Julie digs into the proprietors' shadowy background. International oil shipping is a ruthless business, and its secrets run as deep as the ocean itself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Dikeos.

    Europa im Erdölrausch, Audio-CD
    88 Millionen Fässer Erdöl werden weltweit täglich verbraucht. Das sind 44 Supertanker. Woher kommt das Öl? Wie hat es die europäische Geschichte in den letzten 150 Jahren beeinflusst? Und vor allem: Warum geht es uns jetzt aus? Daniele Ganser, Peak-Oil-Experte und Friedensforscher, legt die erste Gesamtdarstellung zu Europas Erdöl-Abhängigkeit vor. Er schildert den Beginn der Erdölindustrie, das durch billige Energie angetriebene Wirtschaftswachstum, die Erdölkrisen der 1970er-Jahre und die Hintergründe des andauernden, blutigen Kampfs ums Erdöl bis hin zu den jüngsten Kriegen im Irak und in Libyen. Absoluten Neuigkeitswert hat Gansers Nachweis, dass beim konventionellen Erdöl weltweit bereits 2005 das Fördermaximum erreicht wurde. Für heiße Diskussionen werden auch seine Szenarien zur energiepolitischen Zukunft sorgen: Spitzt sich der globale Kampf ums Erdöl zu? Gelingt den Europäern die Wende hin zu 100 Prozent erneuerbaren Energien?

Etwas ist faul im Iran und natürlich muss er sich auf dem Boot einschiffen, das hinausfährt um im Persischen Golf nachzusehen. Nur gehen die Dinge dieses Mal gründlich schief als das das U-Boot beim Versuch iranisches Kilo-Klasse-Boot in flachen Gewässern abzuhängen, ein in ein neuartiges Minenfeld läuft Aber natürlich wäre DiAngelo nicht er selbst, wenn er nicht einen kreativen Plan zur Lösung des Problems entwickeln würde. Alles was er braucht, sind ein paar Ersatzteile aus einem persischen Marinedepot und einen leeren Supertanker. Alles Dinge, die in dieser Gegend nicht zu schwer zu finden sein sollten.

    Power Hungry: The Myths of 'Green' Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 645min
    The promise of green jobs and a clean energy future has roused the masses. But as Robert Bryce makes clear in this provocative book, that vision needs a major re-vision. We cannot - and will not - quit using carbon-based fuels at any time in the near future for a simple reason: they provide the horsepower that we crave. The hard reality is that oil, coal, and natural gas are here to stay. Fueling our society requires more than sentiment and rhetoric; we need to make good decisions and smart investments based on facts. In Power Hungry, Bryce provides a supertanker-load of facts while shepherding listeners through basic physics and math. And with the help of a panoply of vivid graphics and tables, he crushes a phalanx of energy myths, showing why renewables are not green, carbon capture and sequestration won't work, and even - surprise! - that the U.S. is leading the world in energy efficiency. He also charts the amazing growth of the fuels of the future: natural gas and nuclear. Power Hungry delivers a clear-eyed view of what America has in the tank, and what's needed to transform the gargantuan global energy sector. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ax Norman.

    Predator , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 920min
    The Hunt Begins… Two men are responsible for the death of Hector Cross’ wife and only one is left alive: Johnny Congo – psychopath, extortionist, murderer, and the bane of Cross’s life. He caught him before and let him go. Now, Hector wants him dead. So does the US government. Congo is locked up on Death Row in the most secure prison in the free world, counting down the days until his execution. He’s got two weeks. He wants out. He’s escaped before and knows he can again, and with whizz kid D’Shonn Brown enlisted, he might just have a chance. Cross, still licking his wounds from his last bruising encounter with Congo, is back and ready for work. In the middle of the rough Atlantic stands oil supertanker Bannock A. Terrorist activity in the area has triggered panic and there’s only one person they can trust to protect her. What is promised as a cakewalk turns out to be much more, a mission that will test Cross to his emotional and physical limits. But a life spent in the SAS and private security has left Cross hard-wired for pain and as he is thrown into the bull pit once more, he will not stop until he has snared his prey. Hector Cross is Predator. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Onwukwe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/002240/bk_hcuk_002240_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Red Light to Starboard: Recalling the Exxon Valdez Disaster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    Minutes before supertanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef, before rocks ripped a huge hole in her hull and a geyser of crude oil darkened the pristine waters of Prince William Sound, the ship's lookout burst through the chart room door. "That light, sir, it's still on the starboard side. It should be to port, sir." Her frantic words were merely the last in a litany of futile warnings. A parade of promises began the next day. Exxon Shipping Company president Frank Iarossi declared, "If it is a claim that is associated with the spill, we've assumed full financial responsibility." A week later, Alaska Governor Steve Cowper spoke at the Valdez Civic Center. "We don't want anybody to think that they have to hire a lawyer and go into federal court and sue the largest corporation in America...The state of Alaska represents you. And we want to be sure that...people who are damaged by this, get compensated fairy and quickly." He also indicated that the state would see to it Prince William Sound was cleaned up, regardless of the cost. Lengthy investigations revealed cover ups, covert operations, reckless corporate management, numerous safety violations, and a broken regulatory process. At the time of the spill, oil flowed through the Alyeska pipeline at a profit of $400,000 per hour, yet in the end, the 10,000 fishermen affected by the spill spent nearly 20 years in litigation and received little compensation for their losses. Despite a massive cleanup effort, oil remains on the beaches and continues to impact marine life. Red Light to Starboard documents a story that stunned the world, recounting regional and national events. The compelling narrative explains how an industry often seen as greedy came to be entrusted with a spectacular, fragile ecosystem, and discusses the governmental and public policy decisions that contributed to the disaster, as well as personal and environmental consequences. It also follows policy ste ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Abell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/051377/bk_acx0_051377_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
