Sweet Friday Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
Peg Toland and her father think they’ve found the perfect vacation spot: a beautiful, uninhabited Mexican island in the sparkling Sea of Cortez. Unfortunately, the locals who live on the coast do not agree. “That is no place to go,” they tell the Tolands with alarm. They will not explain why. Peg and her father should have listened to these mysterious warnings. Shortly after they arrive on the island and set up camp, the untamed landscape and isolation turn into a terrifying and deadly trap. Someone else is on the island. Someone who slashes the Toland’s inflatable boat, steals their supplies, and stalks them day and night. With her diabetic father growing weak and sick from lack of insulin, 15-year-old Peg has no choice but to hunt the stalker down - to the death, if necessary. Realistic and chilling, Sweet Friday Island is nerve-jangling adventure from Theodore Taylor, the award-winning author whose novels have thrilled millions of young people. ungekürzt.

Enlightenment: Reason, Tolerance, and Humanity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 466min
The Enlightenment stands at the threshold of the modern age. It elevated the natural sciences to the preeminent position they enjoy in modern culture. It inaugurated a skepticism toward tradition and authority that decisively shaped modern attitudes in religion, morality, and politics. And it gave birth to a vision of history that saw man, through the unfettered use of his own reason, at last escaping that state of "immaturity" to which superstition, prejudice, and dogma had condemned him. The world in which we live is, for better or worse, in large part the result of the Enlightenment. This course will explore this remarkable period. It will discuss the work of such influential thinkers as Voltaire, John Locke, Denis Diderot, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Benjamin Franklin. It will also spend some time with less well-known, but no less influential, figures such as Joseph Priestly - a clergyman, scientist, and philosopher who was one of the most passionate defenders of the American Revolution in England - and the remarkable John Toland, a man whose writings on religion changed the way many Europeans thought about the Scriptures ungekürzt.

The Dillinger Days , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 747min
For 13 violent months in the 1930s, John Dillinger and his gang swept through the Midwest. The criminals of the Depression robbed almost at will, as the Indiana State Police had only 41 members, including clerks and typists. Dillinger's daring escapes at Crown Point jail or through the withering machine gun fire of FBI agents at Little Bohemia Lodge, along with his countless bank robberies, excited the imagination of a despondent country. He eluded the lawmen of a half-dozen states and the growing power of the FBI, earning him the dubious honor of Public Enemy Number One and captivating Americans to the present day. His brief but significant career is vividly chronicled here in extraordinary detail, as is the entire outlaw era of Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, Ma Barker, and Machine Gun Kelly. John Toland conducted hundreds of interviews; his research took him through 34states, into the cells where Dillinger was confined, and into every bank he robbed. The Dillinger Days is the inside account of a desperate and determined war between the law and the lawless, a struggle that did not end until a unique set of circumstances led to Dillinger's bloody death outside a Chicago movie house. ungekürzt.

No Man’s Land: 1918, the Last Year of the Great War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1505min
From freezing infantrymen huddled in bloodied trenches on the front lines to intricate political maneuvering and tense strategy sessions in European capitals, noted historian John Toland tells of the unforgettable final year of the First World War. As 1918 opened, the Allies and Central Powers remained locked in a desperate, bloody stalemate, despite the deaths of millions of soldiers over the previous three and a half years. The arrival of the Americans "over there" by the middle of the year turned the tide of war, resulting in an Allied victory in November. In this audiobook, participants on both sides, from enlisted men to generals and prime ministers to monarchs, vividly recount the battles, sensational events, and behind-the-scenes strategies that shaped the climactic, terrifying year. It's all here - the horrific futility of going over the top into a hail of bullets in no man's land; the enigmatic death of the legendary German ace, the Red Baron; Operation Michael, a punishing German attack in the spring; the Americans' long-awaited arrival in June; the murder of Russian Czar Nicholas II and his family, the growing fear of a communist menace in the east; and the armistice on November 11. The different points of view of Germans, Americans, British, French, and Russians add depth, complexity, and understanding to the tragedies and triumphs of the War to End All Wars. ungekürzt.

In die Enge getrieben (eBook, ePUB)
In die Enge getrieben Kriminalroman von Theodor Horschelt Der Umfang dieses Buchs entspricht 191 Taschenbuchseiten. In einem Kurheim auf der kleinen, in der Irischen See gelegenen Insel Raven Island vereinigt der Zufall dreizehn Menschen, die hinsichtlich Herkunft, Bildung, Charakter und Anschauungen wenig miteinander gemein haben: Da ist der eiskalte und skrupellose Millionär Olafsson, für den Menschen nur den Wert von Schachfiguren besitzen - der in Nepal groß gewordene Artie Toland, ein Fremder in seiner Heimat - die leidenschaftliche, aber unverzagt tapfere Kit Buchanan - ihre tief gedemütigte, verzweifelte Schwester Elga - das entgleiste Ehepaar Craik - und das andere, das sich ebenfalls längst auseinandergelebt hat: Heliane und Masten Tamersford. Miss Mansel und Collier sind kaum des Erwähnens wert - ganz im Gegensatz zu der sympathischen, überlegenen Barbara Colman, die sich durch nichts entmutigen lässt, trotzdem gemessene Ansprüche ans Leben stellt, und in dem Playboy Greg Tylor einen Partner gefunden hat, der keine Langeweile aufkommen lässt. Herbert Buckle ist ein Sonderfall. Alle sind ein Sonderfall, wie sich erweist, sobald Raven Island von der Welt abgeschnitten wird, und ein brutaler Mörder sein Unwesen zu treiben beginnt. Constable Taine - ein kerniger und innerlich harmonischer Mann - verkörpert allein die Staatsgewalt auf der winzigen Insel, kann aber den auf ihn einstürmenden Problemen gar nicht gewachsen sein. Ohne Artie Tolands selbstlose Hilfe müsste er verzweifeln. Trotzdem ist es bis zuletzt zweifelhaft, ob es gelingen wird, den unheimlichen "Inselmörder" zur Strecke zu bringen.- Shop: buecher
