    The 4 Hour Work Week, by Timothy Ferriss: Summary & Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    4 -Hour Work Week, by Timothy Ferris | Summary & Analysis. A smarter you in 15 minutes. What is your time worth? In these times, the economy is unpredictable; people need to do away with retirement concepts that don't work for their life plan, if there is no proper management of income. It doesn't matter whether one is earning huge salaries, or living a humble life. This audiobook has been designed to teach steps to be taken in a luxurious lifestyle. The author has further elaborated this by giving Tim as an example. Initially, Tim used to earn $40,000 annually, but later on he started earning the same amount on a monthly basis. Further, the audiobook teaches you how to outsource your life abroad, by embracing virtual aid which will cost you only five dollars per hour. Moreover, it touches on how people can travel without necessarily resigning from their jobs, ways of eliminating almost half the amount of work you do in two days, by use of principles of a forgotten Italian economist, ways of trading in a career that requires a long haul for work, that are short with busting and frequent mini-retirements. ungekürzt.

    Nike: The Origins and History of the Greek Goddess of Victory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    It seems to be a normal, modern-day practice to reduce all the gods of the ancient pantheons to their most basic abstract concepts: Ares represents war; Demeter, agriculture; Aphrodite, love; and so on. In the process, these characters lose any personality with which they might have been imbued over millennia of stories. A part of most studies of these gods is usually reserved for the undoubtedly valuable etymology of a deity's name, but more often than not, this etymology reveals little more than the fact they had been associated with their abstract concepts since time immemorial. Still, most modern audiences understand the ancient Greek deities had "personalities" more complex than the abstract concepts they represented. These "personalities" were elaborated upon to explain relationships between concepts, such as in the case of Ares's and Aphrodite's daughter Harmonia, who always followed in her father's destructive wake, explaining the brutal "cleansing" power of war within ancient Greece's complex political landscape. It is in this same line of thought that abstract characters, such as Harmonia and Nike (Victory), find their place in ancient Greek mythology, especially after the writings of Homer in the eighth century BCE. ungekürzt.

    The Cellar: Opposites, Book 2.5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
    It's time to learn the truth about what happened that day in The Cellar. Taryn and Thanos are the formidable Ambassadors of House Orion. Taryn was born into power, bred from birth to lead the people of Greece along with his sister Theresa. Thanos was never a part of his mothers' plan. The son of a fisherman was not a suitable match for the son of Greece as far as their mothers' were concerned, but Taryn usually gets his way. The Cellar is the story of how these two men met and fell in love, and what lengths Taryn went to, to ensure he kept his man. This novella also contains a more detailed accounting of what happened the night Raven and Tanis went for a walk on the beach, and the adult version of Mistletoe and Mayhem that was initially released as a free short through Goodreads. The Cellar is much like the deleted scenes from your favorite movie. I've taken several scenes that were either cut short or removed from the book Appearances, and elaborated on them to create the short, sexy, and steamy novella. ungekürzt. Language: English.

This book provides analyzes of Remote Sensing & GIS methods for drought monitoring. The application of these methods is very useful in agricultural planning. Three methods are elaborated. Multi temporal analysis of vegetation index & brightness temperature is useful to monitor drought condition. Integration of high & low-resolution satellite data to obtain an optimum technique is quite promisingly to apply for small area of agriculture. Combination of RS & GIS using multi factor analysis is highly significant as a method for drought monitoring and assessment. A good relationship between Drought Status, the indicator for assessing drought, & Drought Risk level could be applied for drought assessment.

    The Second Realm: Book on Strategy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
    A common thread throughout anarchism/libertarianism is the eventual arrival at some utopian, free society. The idea is that if “we” focus “our” efforts on educating individuals on economics, morality, history, etc., we can hit critical mass, abolish the State, and live happily ever after. While this “free world” is a pipe dream, it doesn’t mean that self-liberators can’t set up pockets of freedom in the here and now, despite the existence of the State. This respite from first realm tyranny is called second realm.In Second Realm: Book on Strategy, Smuggler and XYZ build upon the framework laid by the likes of Samuel Edward Konkin III, Hakim Bey, and many anonymous cyberpunks: agoras, temporary/permanent autonomous zones, and digital freedom/privacy, respectively. But, the truly unique thing these authors were able to formulate was the merging of the physical and digital realms.Herein, the authors begin by discussing the underlying philosophy and the motivation for this particular freedom strategy. Terms are defined and elaborated upon. They tell you how to practically create second realms everywhere. You’ll learn about high- and low-tech tools that can be used to maintain these realms, going into the future and how to facilitate trade between the two realms, and more.Get Second Realm: Book on Strategy today, and let's start building. ungekürzt.
