    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, the Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds. When family obligations forced Waxillium Ladrian to forsake the frontier lands and return to the metropolis of his birth to take his place as head of a noble House, he little imagined that the crime-fighting skills acquired during twenty years in the dusty plains would be just as applicable in the big city. He soon learned that there too, just being a talented Twinborn - one who can use both Allomancy and Feruchemy, the dominant magical modes on Scadrial - would not suffice. This bustling, optimistic, but still shaky society will now face its first test by terrorism and assassination, crimes intended to stir up labor strife and religious conflict. Wax, his eccentric sidekick Wayne, and brilliant, beautiful young Marasi, now officially part of the constabulary, must unravel the conspiracy before civil strife can stop Scadrial's progress in its tracks.

    In 1898 the American Regular Army was a small frontier constabulary engaged in skirmishes with Indians and protesting workers. Forty-three years later, in 1941, it was a large modern army ready to wage global war against the Germans and the Japanese. In this definitive social history of America's standing army, military historian Edward Coffman tells how that critical transformation was accomplished. Coffman has spent years immersed in the official records, personal papers, memoirs, and biographies of regular army men, including such famous leaders as George Marshall, George Patton, and Douglas MacArthur. He weaves their stories, and those of others he has interviewed, into the story of an army that grew from a small community of posts in China and the Philippines to a highly effective mechanized ground and air force. During these years, the US Army conquered and controlled a colonial empire, military staff lived in exotic locales with their families, and soldiers engaged in combat in Cuba and the Pacific. In the 20th century, the United States entered into alliances to fight the German army in World War I and then again to meet the challenge of the Axis Powers in World War II. Coffman explains how a managerial revolution in the early 1900s provided the organizational framework and educational foundation for change and how the combination of inspired leadership, technological advances, and a supportive society made it successful. In a stirring account of all aspects of garrison life, including race relations, we meet the men and women who helped reconfigure America's frontier army into a modern global force. ungekürzt.

    A BBC Radio 4 full-cast comedy by Alexis Zegerman about the hectic life of a single mother, originally broadcast 25 August - 29 September 2010. Mum's on the Run is a modern-day twist on the single-family situation. It follows the hectic life ('What life?') of single mum Jen. Jen seems to spend most of her time as an unpaid chauffeur to a 15-year-old teenage existentialist son, Toby, and a tonally challenged recorder-practising 11-year-old daughter, Felicity, whilst also coping with a jazz musician ex-husband, the fiercely competitive and annoying downstairs neighbour, and a huge crush on her son's history teacher. Episode 1 follows how Jen manages to drop the kids off at school at the beginning of the day but ends up collecting them from a nightclub at the end of it. In episode 2, a quiet parent's evening becomes a farcical attempt by Jen and ex-husband Keith to recreate the execution of Charles I. When Jen starts trying to date again in episode 3, things are bound to go awry. She manages to get involved in a complicated online mix up that involves the neighbours and the kids' teacher. In episode 4, Jen has trouble with mice, cats, and the local constabulary. In episode 5, the desire to impress Mr Rigby and silence nagging children persuades Jen to attempt some charitable work. But a botched attempt to give blood and a disastrous baking error lead only to further humiliation. Jen has at last secured a semi-date with Mr Rigby in episode 6, but she then realises that it's bonfire night and she's promised the kids fireworks in the garden. Their date turns to farce as both Mr Rigby and the ex-husband turn up, and neighbour Vivienne is almost hospitalised by a dodgy rocket. Starring Ronni Ancona as Jen, John Gordon Sinclair as Mr Rigby, Alexis Zegerman as Shelley, Christine Kavanagh as Vivienne, and Kevin Eldon as Keith. Language: English. Narrator: Ronnie Ancona, John Gordon Sinclair, Alexis Zegerman, Christine Kavanagh, Kevin Eldon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/004183/bk_bbcw_004183_sample.mp3.

    1969. Nichts ist so, wie es war. Nach der Verschmelzung der Oxford City Police Station und der Thames Valley Constabulary sind Endeavour Morse und seine alten Kollegen nicht mehr in einem Team vereint: Endeavour verrichtet seinen Polizei Dienst auf dem Land. Der degradierte Thursday arbeitet bei der neuen Castle Gate Police Station unter seinem ehemaligen Gegner Ronnie Box. Strange hat eine Führungsposition übernommen und Bright arbeitet bei der Verkehrspolizei. Und noch immer versuchen sie, den Tod von George Fancy zu verarbeiten. Doch das Verbrechen schläft nie und eine Serie brutaler Mordfälle führt sie wieder zusammen: der Tod eines jungen Schulmädchens, ein mysteriöser, tödlicher Autounfall und eine bösartige Klatschkampagne inmitten eines beschaulichen Dörfchens mit tödlichem Ende. Darüber hinaus droht der Mord in der Bodleian Library eine weitaus größere Verschwörung aufzudecken als zunächst angenommen. Und werden sie die Wahrheit über Fancys Tod herausfinden?Episode 1 - Unschuldig (Pylon)Der Tod eines Schulmädchens bringt Morse zurück nach Oxford. Nach wie vor ist für ihn eine Ermittlung eine Art Kombination aus Schach und kryptischem Kreuzworträtsel. Ronnie Box hingegen entscheidet, wer der wahrscheinlichste Täter ist - und wenn die Beweise nicht passen, werden sie auch mal von ihm passend gemacht... Als Morse sich weigert zu akzeptieren, dass der Hauptverdächtige schuldig ist, muss er die Wahrheit aufdecken und ein weiteres Opfer retten, bevor es zu spät ist. Episode 2 - Apollo (Apollo)Nach einer ausschweifenden Party anlässlich der anstehenden Mondlandung kommen Professor Adam Drake und seine Begleiterin Christine Chase durch einen Autounfall ums Leben. Die Ermittlungen werden aufgenommen, und bald steht fest, dass die Beifahrerin Christine bereits vor dem Unfall tot gewesen sein muss. Außerdem wurde die Bremsflüssigkeit des Autos abgelassen, was zum Unfall führte. Darüber hinaus gehört der Wagen nicht dem Fahrer Professor Drake selbst, sondern Larry Humbolt, seinem ehemaligen Lehrer an der Universität. Daher vermutet die Polizei, dass nicht Professor Drake, sondern Larry Humbolt sterben sollte und der oder die Verantwortliche ein Gast auf der Party von Natalie und Elliot Wingqvist war.Episode 3 - Zuckerguss (Confection)Beim Jagdreiten verschwindet der Schokoladenfabrikant Greville Creswell, der später erschossen im Wald aufgefunden wird. Seine Söhne Murray und Rupert sowie Murrays Frau Clemmie können ein Alibi vorweisen. Sofort drängt sich der Verdacht auf, dass Greville Creswell aufgrund von Erbschaftsstreitigkeiten umgebracht wurde. Die Familie scheint jedoch ein harmonisches Miteinander zu pflegen. Als sich die Ermittler im verschlafenen Dörfchen Chigton Green umhören, führt sie ein Hinweis auf den Hof von Farmer Rennett Bell, wo sie Rennett und seine Frau Mandy-Jane ebenfalls erschossen auffinden.Episode 4 - Wolkenschloss (Degüello)Osbert Page, Chefbibliothekar der Bodleian Library in Oxford, wird kurz nach Dienstschluss erstochen. Zunächst geraten zwei Bibliotheks-Stammgäste in den Fokus. Zum einen Doktor Nicholson, ein Mathematik-Theoretiker am Garstang College sowie Professor Burrowes, der Geologie-Professor, der mit dem Opfer die Leidenschaft fürs Wandern gemein hatte. Der brutale Mord und ein weiteres lokales Verbrechen bringen Morse und das alte Team an ihre Grenzen. Während sie eine Verschwörung aufdecken, die sogar bis in hohe Polizeikreise reicht, führen die Spuren überraschend zum Mord an Fancy...
