    Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Ruby Elephants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    It is summer 1890, and the game is afoot. When an elephant escapes from the London Zoological Gardens, Holmes and Watson become embroiled in one of their strangest cases yet. Engaged by a jeweler in fear for his life, the trail leads Sherlock to two secret societies, each pursuing the eight ruby elephants said to unlock a vault containing the lost Nizam diamond. Standing in his way are some deadly foes: the Archangels, assassins in top hats and tailcoats, hell-bent on the murder of the great detective and the acquisition of the treasures of the realm. The adventure leads the intrepid pair to Lord's Cricket Ground, the Royal Albert Hall, a bizarre series of thefts at the National Gallery, deepest rural Suffolk, and ultimately the very heart of the empire. With high-speed chases on Penny Farthings and a cast of eccentric characters, it takes all of Holmes' ingenuity - and a little help from Mycroft - to unravel this elephantine mystery. ungekürzt.

    The Pachyderms' Lament: The Hyptomancer's Tale, Book 2: A Nova Europa Fantasy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Help me! These words trigger an awe-inspiring jaunt through the multiverses that comprise the cosmos of Morpheus, Scanner Prime to the Queen of K'rynthia in Nova Europa. Faced with the consequences of his vision of collapse, not only for his own country, but for all of the civilized universe, Morpheus must somehow restore stability to the cosmos by finding a single prisoner on one of the infinity of alternate earths among the Otherworlds. Accompanied by his faithful wherret, Scooter, and by a band of loyal cut-throats and adventurers, Morpheus prepares to embark on a quest that will whisk him from world to world. In this second novel of the trilogy, something is happening in the outer circles of the cosmos, something that is threatening to destabilize the fragile equilibrium that holds the universe together - and has made interplanetary transit possible. The answer lies on the world of the Pachyderms out beyond the Fifth Circle - an almost impossible distance to traverse. These strange elephantine creatures are the guardians and possible creators of the Elephant's Eggs - the four magical implements that will give Morpheus the tools he needs to heal the cracks in space and time. But finding the Eggs is not enough... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/000833/bk_acx0_000833_sample.mp3.

    Judenhaß und Judenfurcht. Die Entstehung des Antisemitismus in der Antike
    Antisemitismus in seinem breiten Spektrum von diskreditierenden Unterstellungen bis hin zu dem Willen, die Juden physisch zu vernichten, ist bereits ein Phänomen der griechisch-römischen Antike. Im Jahr 38 n. Chr. wurde im ägyptischen Alexandria das älteste jüdische Getto errichtet; in einem Gewaltexzeß wurden zahllose Juden von ihren eigenen Mitbürgern niedergemetzelt. Gibt es eine Erklärung für ein solches Geschehen? Ist der antike Antisemitismus die Folge konkreter Konflikte, die zur religiösen und politisch-sozialen Diffamierung des jüdischen Gegners führten? Oder entzündete er sich an den als fremd empfundenen jüdischen Lebensformen und wurde dann zur Durchsetzung der eigenen Interessen lediglich instrumentalisiert?Peter Schäfer stellt anhand der antiken Quellen dar, wie Juden mit ihrer besonderen Lebensweise und ihren religiösen Überzeugungen von ihrer Umwelt wahrgenommen wurden. Was dachten Nichtjuden über den Sabbat, die Beschneidung und die Enthaltung von Schweinefleisch? Wie wirkten auf sie der jüdische Monotheismus und das Selbstverständnis, als Gottes auserwähltes Volk aus Ägypten ins Land Kanaan geführt worden zu sein? Wie reagierten sie darauf, daß die jüdische Religion zunehmend Anziehungskraft auf Nichtjuden ausübte? Diese Wahrnehmungen stellen das potentielle Arsenal an antijüdischen Motiven bereit. Die anschließende exemplarische Darstellung zweier historischer Ereignisse (in Elephantine und Alexandria) verdeutlicht Schlüsselursachen und Strukturen des antiken Antisemitismus. So kann schließlich anhand dreier notorischer Konfliktherde (Ägypten, Syrien/Palästina und Rom) gezeigt werden, wie politisch-soziale Interessen und antijüdische Motive in konkreten Situationen eine unheilige Allianz eingingen und das Phänomen hervorbrachten, das wir den antiken Antisemitismus nennen.

    A Federation Forged in Fire: Koban Volume 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1297min
    When the enemy discovers their hidden home, Mirikami is forced to lead 117 Kobani ships in a desperate attack against 3,000 Krall ships and uncounted warriors. Armed with a 22,000-year-old computer virus, and sheer courage, they must disable every enemy ship and weapon. The last time this tactic was tried against them, the Krall eradicated the entire Olt'kitapi civilization. That's just one foe the Kobani face. The PU president rejects diplomatic recognition of the new Galactic Federation, and diplomat Mirikami is ordered arrested for genetic crimes and for provoking Krall attacks on Hub worlds. To reveal the president's duplicity in a secret deal with the Krall leader, he accepts a life or death challenge fight with an old enemy, right on the capitol steps, with news cameras rolling. Then, proving the galaxy remains a dangerous place, the huge Thandol Empire, a former Olt'kitapi enemy, forcefully announces that its elephantine rulers intend to annex the Orion Spur. That happens to be where both the Kobani led Galactic Federation, and Human Space reside. Naturally, the Kobani decline the Empire's violently phrased demands, doing it in their typically harsh and forceful manner. In leading up to that confrontation, the Kobani learn the basis of the Empire's claim to Federation Space, and it predates the Krall conquests. The prior owners may have a claim. The Empire's initial punitive reaction to Kobani rejection reveals they have a pain causing nerve weapon, used for crowd control in the Empire. This mild sounding weapon proves to be devastating to those with organic superconducting nerves. Life on Koban could be wiped out by a riot control ship. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    World War 3.0: Microsoft, the US Government, and the Battle for the New Economy, Hörbuch, Digital, 361min
    The Internet Revolution, like all great industrial changes, has made the world's elephantine media companies tremble that their competitors - whether small and nimble mice or fellow elephants - will get to new terrain first and seize its commanding heights. In a climate in which fear and insecurity are considered healthy emotions, corporate violence becomes commonplace. In the blink of an eye - or the time it has taken slogans such as "The Internet changes everything" to go from hyperbole to banality - "creative destruction" has wracked the global economy on an epic scale. No one has been more powerful or felt more fear or reacted more violently than Bill Gates and Microsoft. Afraid that any number of competitors might outflank them - whether Netscape or Sony or AOL Time Warner or Sun or AT&T or Linux-based companies that champion the open-source movement or some college student hacking in his dorm room - Microsoft has waged holy war on all foes, leveraging its imposing strengths. In World War 3.0, Ken Auletta chronicles this fierce conflict from the vantage of its most important theater of operations: the devastating second front opened up against Bill Gates's empire by the United States government. The book's narrative spine is United States v. Microsoft, the government's massive civil suit against Microsoft for allegedly stifling competition and innovation on a broad scale. With his superb writerly gifts and extraordinary access to all the principal parties, Ken Auletta crafts this landmark confrontation into a tight, character - and incident-filled courtroom drama featuring the best legal minds of our time, including David Boies and Judge Richard Posner. And with the wisdom gleaned from covering the converging media, software, and communications industries for The New Yorker for the better part of a decade, Auletta uses this pivotal battle to shape a magisterial reckoning with the larger war and the agendas, pers Language: English.
