    The Aliens Among Us: How Invasive Species Are Transforming the Planet - and Ourselves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 901min
    From an award-winning adventure and science journalist comes an eye-opening exploration of a burgeoning environmental phenomenon and the science coalescing around it. Leslie Anthony leads listeners on adventures physical and philosophical as he explores how and why invasive species are hijacking ecosystems around the globe. Weaving science, travel, history, and humor with diverse examples to chart and describe the phases of species invasion and human response, Anthony introduces field researchers and managers who seek to understand the biological, social, and economic aspects of this complex issue, and whose work collectively suggests the emergence of a global shadow economy centered on invasives. With tales of pythons in the Everglades, Asian carp and lamprey in the Great Lakes, Japanese knotweed seemingly everywhere, and the invasive organisms we don't see - pathogens and microbes such as the Zika virus - this book rivets attention on a new ecological reality. ungekürzt.

    Bride of Krakenstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    In the thrilling conclusion of the Krakenstein Trilogy, it’s all-out giant monster mayhem featuring a total of no less than 10 - count ’em, 10 - titanic terrors. Merged with the mysterious subterranean facility whose origins predate even the dinosaurs, Dr. Deanna Sharlayne is determined to help her...well, he used to be a man, anyway...take on the fury of our world itself. A great sea lamprey circles the Earth, but not to destroy it - to protect it. The quarter-mile-long leviathan is merely waking the true defenders and calling them to action. These elemental super-monsters are truly fearsome as they unleash a coordinated attack on humanity that culminates in a focused assault on the fragile landscape of Yellowstone Park, where the great beasts are dead set on triggering the “supervolcano” and letting it do the work of wiping out humanity for them. Can Deanna and the former Dr. Max Shepperton, a.k.a. Krakenstein, stop them? Oh yes, and toss in a renegade general and his mighty robot titan for good measure, and what you’ve got is a seven monster/three sided daikaiju showdown supreme, with nothing less than our species’ existence hanging in the balance. ungekürzt.

    Lake Invaders: Invasive Species and the Battle for the Future of the Great Lakes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    There are more than 180 exotic species in the Great Lakes. Some, such as green algae, the Asian tapeworm, and the suckermouth minnow, have had little or no impact so far. But a handful of others - sea lamprey, alewife, round goby, quagga mussel, zebra mussel, Eurasian watermilfoil, spiny water flea, and rusty crayfish - have conducted an all-out assault on the Great Lakes and are winning the battle. In Lake Invaders: Invasive Species and the Battle for the Future of the Great Lakes, William Rapai focuses on the impact of these invasives. Rapai begins with a brief biological and geological history of the Great Lakes. He then examines the history of the Great Lakes from a human dimension, with the construction of the Erie Canal and Welland Canal, opening the doors to an ecosystem that had previously been isolated. The seven chapters that follow each feature a different invasive species, with information about its arrival and impact, including a larger story of ballast water, control efforts, and a forward-thinking shift to prevention. Rapai makes a strong case for what is at stake with the growing number of invasive species in the lakes. He examines new policies and the tradeoffs that must be weighed, and ends with an inspired call for action. The book is published by Wayne State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    My Short Life as a Werewolf , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    The nightmare that began in My Short Life As A Zombie reaches new heights of mind-blowing apocalyptic mayhem, as shape-shifters confront the undead. But is it possible for anything - even werewolves - to stop the zombie apocalypse?The dead returned to Chicago less than a day ago: Ravenous mobs, mindless, and ever-expanding, with an endless appetite for human flesh. Not even the U.S. military, massive explosions, and napalm can slow them down.Valerie barely survived an attack by her infected co-worker, Bobby. Now she has to find a way across the infected city, through millions of the walking dead, to rescue her young brother, trapped in the attic of their murdered parents’ home. It seems impossible, insane...until a shape-changing creature, more animal than man, rescues her from the zombie horde and gives her a gift that will change her into something far greater - and far more dangerous - than simply human. But will it be enough? Even her developing supernatural powers may not be enough to fight:A train of escaping humans on a last trip out of town that makes Train to Busan look like a minor commuteA once-human worm with a hole through its head, hiding silently in a school bus and trying not to turn into something even more hideousA child that transforms into a screaming predator with the teeth of a lamprey that strikes like a ravenous, human-sized snakeA literal mountain of meat, a volcano of human flesh that buries Valerie’s family home in a roiling mass of madness and hunger Valerie is on her way. She may be her brother’s only hope...and it may already be too late!Fans of Twenty-Eight Days Later, The Walking Dead, and Sean of the Dead will love the bloody adventure of Valerie and her dogs in zombie Chicago.

    The Death and Life of the Great Lakes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 736min
    A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas AwardA landmark work of science, history, and reporting on the past, present, and imperiled future of the Great Lakes.The Great Lakes - Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior - hold 20 percent of the world's supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance, work, and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the continent. The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is prize-winning reporter Dan Egan's engaging portrait of an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes, blending the epic story of the lakes with an examination of the perils they face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations to come. For thousands of years, the pristine Great Lakes were separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the roaring Niagara Falls and from the Mississippi River basin by a "subcontinental divide". Beginning in the late 1800s, these barriers were circumvented to attract oceangoing freighters from the Atlantic and to allow Chicago's sewage to float out to the Mississippi. These were engineering marvels in their time - and the changes in Chicago arrested a deadly cycle of waterborne illnesses - but they have had horrendous unforeseen consequences. Egan provides a chilling account of how sea lamprey, zebra and quagga mussels, and other invaders have made their way into the lakes, decimating native species and largely destroying the age-old ecosystem. And because the lakes are no longer isolated, the invaders now threaten water intake pipes, hydroelectric dams, and other infrastructure across the country. Egan also explores why outbreaks of toxic algae stemming from the overapplication of farm fertilizer have left massive biological "dead zones" that threaten the supply of fresh water. He examines fluctuatio ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Culp. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/004948/bk_rand_004948_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
