  Remarkable Creatures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min

  From the moment she's struck by lightening as a baby, it is clear that Mary Anning is marked for greatness. On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, she learns that she has "the eye"-and finds what no one else can see. When Mary uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious fathers on edge, the townspeople to vicious gossip, and the scientific world alight. In an arena dominated by men, however, Mary is barred from the academic community; as a young woman with unusual interests she is suspected of sinful behavior. Nature is a threat, throwing bitter, cold storms and landslips at her. And when she falls in love, it is with an impossible man. Luckily, Mary finds an unlikely champion in prickly Elizabeth Philpot, a recent exile from London, who also loves scouring the beaches. Their relationship strikes a delicate balance between fierce loyalty, mutual appreciation, and barely suppressed envy. Ultimately, in the struggle to be recognized in the wider world, Mary and Elizabeth discover that friendship is their greatest ally. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlotte Parry.

  Once and Future Giants: What Ice Age Extinctions Tell Us About the Fate of Earth's Largest Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min

  Until about 13,000 years ago, North America was home to a menagerie of massive mammals. Mammoths, camels, and lions walked the ground that has become Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and foraged on the marsh land now buried beneath Chicago's streets. Then, just as the first humans reached the Americas, these Ice Age giants vanished forever. In Once and Future Giants, science writer Sharon Levy digs through the evidence surrounding Pleistocene large animal ("megafauna") extinction events worldwide, showing that understanding this history - and our part in it - is crucial for protecting the elephants, polar bears, and other great creatures at risk today. These surviving relatives of the Ice Age beasts now face an intensified replay of that great die-off, as our species usurps the planet's last wild places while driving a warming trend more extreme than any in mammalian history. Inspired by a passion for the lost Pleistocene giants, some scientists advocate bringing elephants and cheetahs to the Great Plains as stand-ins for their extinct native brethren. By reintroducing big browsers and carnivores to North America, they argue, we could rescue some of the planet's most endangered animals while restoring healthy prairie ecosystems. Critics, including biologists enmeshed in the struggle to restore native species like the gray wolf and the bison, see the proposal as a dangerous distraction from more realistic and legitimate conservation efforts. Deftly navigating competing theories and emerging evidence, Once and Future Giants examines the extent of human influence on megafauna extinctions, past and present, and explores innovative conservation efforts around the globe. The key to modern-day conservation, Levy suggests, may lie fossilized right under our feet. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tamara Marston.

  Big Bone Lick: The Cradle of American Paleontology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min

  Shawnee legend tells of a herd of huge bison rampaging through the Ohio Valley, laying waste to all in their path. To protect the tribe, a deity slew these great beasts with lightning bolts, finally chasing the last giant buffalo into exile across the Wabash River, never to trouble the Shawnee again. The source of this legend was a peculiar salt lick in present-day northern Kentucky, where giant fossilized skeletons had for centuries lain undisturbed by the Shawnee and other natives of the region. In 1739, the first Europeans encountered this fossil site, which eventually came to be known as Big Bone Lick. The site drew the attention of all who heard of it, including George Washington, Daniel Boone, Benjamin Franklin, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and especially Thomas Jefferson. The giant bones immediately cast many scientific and philosophical assumptions of the day into doubt, and they eventually gave rise to the study of fossils for biological and historical purposes. Big Bone Lick: The Cradle of American Paleontology recounts the rich history of the fossil site that gave the world the first evidence of the extinction of several mammalian species, including the American mastodon. Big Bone Lick has played many roles: nutrient source, hallowed ground, salt mine, health spa, and a rich trove of archaeological and paleontological wonders. Natural historian Stanley Hedeen presents a comprehensive narrative of Big Bone Lick from its geological formation forward, explaining why the site attracted animals, regional tribespeople, European explorers and scientists, and eventually American pioneers and presidents. Big Bone Lick is the history of both a place and a scientific discipline: it explores the infancy and adolescence of paleontology from its humble and sometimes humorous beginnings. ungekürzt.

  The Solar Revolution: Guardian Shorts, Book 17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 107min

  The sunshine that hits the Earth in a single hour could meet the world's food and energy demands for an entire year. If only we could make use of it, that is. Solar power is not just about turning sunlight into electricity - we also need a way of capturing and storing it, of moving it around to where it's needed. Of providing power during the night. In short we need a way of bottling sunshine so we can have as much of it as we want, wherever and whenever we like. Solve this and we will welcome the solar revolution. Our current coal, oil, and gas energy supplies rely on sunshine captured long ago by plants and animals long since fossilized. Harnessing the sun directly would open the way to a future free from the side effects of burning carbon. But that's not the only reason to look to the sun. By 2050 the world's population is predicted to rise to some 10 billion individuals. Our energy requirements will nearly double over the same period. Today we are burning through 20 million years of fossil record every year. We use this energy to stock our supermarkets, light our homes, and run our businesses. In the long run, we're going to need to find a new way of powering our lifestyles. In The Solar Revolution, Steve McKevitt and Tony Ryan explore this energy problem and the solutions on offer. From nuclear to wind, fossil fuels to sunshine, they look at where our energy comes from and what the issues are with producing it this way or that. They delve into the science that underpins it all as well, explaining exactly how the sun's rays might be turned into a new liquid fuel to power the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  The Great Nebraska Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min

  In the late Cretaceous period, about 80 million years ago, vast stretches of the North American continent were under water, between what is now the central Rocky Mountains and the eastern Appalachians, and extending south from the Canadian provinces to the Gulf of Mexico (as we know it today). We've all read about, and maybe even had in our hands, seashells and other fossils originally deposited on the shores and floor of that ancient inland sea. Fossilized remains of the great dinosaurs are uncovered regularly in the Dakotas and Wyoming, and the broad agricultural richness of the soil of the Great Plains attests to the seabed that once covered the farmlands of the mid-continent. Over the intervening ages, the geology of the continent and the dynamics of the Earth's oceans and weather eventually caused the sea covering much of North America to recede, to withdraw and leave the central lands high and dry, with only subtle reminders of its once-impressive span. But what if...just if...in our lifetime, the sea returned, erasing the Gulf Coast, and flooding its way up the heartland, covering much of Texas, portions of New Mexico, all of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, parts of Wyoming, and most of the Dakotas? What if, in 100 years, Denver was known for its seaside attractions and Lincoln, Nebraska was one of the world's major commercial shipping ports? In "The Great Nebraska Sea", science fiction Allan Danzig, writing in Galaxy Magazine in 1963, spins a wild tale of just such an event. He paints a short-story picture of a massive earth-shaking event taking place over only a few weeks and months in 1973 as a hitherto discounted series of fault lines running north to south along the eastern edge of the Rockies, ripped open, dropping the central states by 1,000 feet, and creating a spillway big enough for the Gulf of Mexico to rush in. In just a few short months, the United States as Americans knew it in 1973 is ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C James Moore.
