    Khan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 132min
    He was one of history's greatest conquerors, and in his day, his very name caused terror. His forces burned great cities to the ground, and killed on a scale that can only be called "genocide." But there was also another side to Genghis Khan, one that most people have never considered. He modernized the laws and customs of his people and unified much of Eurasia, spreading the trade and cultural influence of the Silk Road. For these accomplishments - and not for his atrocities - he is still celebrated as the greatest hero of the Mongolian people. In this essential new biography, Alexander Kennedy examines Genghis Khan in all his facets: conqueror and diplomat, warlord and lawgiver, father and son, butcher and hero. We can see the rise of Temüjin, from the kidnapped son of a clan chief to the ruler of a united Mongol horde, the "Genghis Khan." But we also see the human cost of his quest - the fallen cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, the devastation of northern China, and the shaky empire he left behind. Through piercing analysis, we can gradually separate fact from fiction until we at last glimpse the real Genghis Khan in all his terrible glory. "Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy lives." - Genghis Khan ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D. Johnston.

    Maimonides: The Life and World of One of Civilization's Greatest Minds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1199min
    This first definitive biography of Moses Maimonides, one of the most influential intellects in all of human history, illuminates his life as a philosopher, physician, and lawgiver.Recalling such best sellers as David McCullough's John Adams and Walter Isaacson's Einstein, Maimonides is a biography on a grand scale, brilliantly explicating one man's life against the background of his time.As a physician, Maimonides is associated with Hippocrates as a founder of modern medicine; his influence in philosophy is equal to that of Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, and Kant; in religion, he is as significant as Moses, Martin Luther, and Saint Augustine; and as a lawgiver, he has been recognized by the United States Congress as one of the greatest alongside Hammurabi and Thomas Jefferson.Now, in a dazzling work of scholarship, Joel Kraemer tells the complete story of Maimonides's rich life. Maimonides is at once a portrait of a great historical figure and an excursion into the Mediterranean world of the 12th century. Joel Kraemer draws on a wealth of original sources to re-create a remarkable period in history when Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions clashed and mingled in a setting alive with intense intellectual exchange and religious conflict. Born in Muslim-ruled Spain in 1135, Moses Maimonides was deeply conversant with Arabic philosophy and literature. By the time he was thirty, he was known for his seminal works on the Jewish practices and law. In Egypt, his training as a physician earned him a place in the entourage of the great Sultan Saladin, and his books earned him respect and influenced generations of Christian, Muslim and Jewish thinkers. ungekürzt.

    Greek Mythology: A Fascinating Guide to Understanding the Ancient Greek Religion with Its Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and Mortals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    The ancient Greeks were explorers in many ways. They traveled to new places, creating colonies in strange lands far from their original homes. They were survivors. They were honorable thieves. They used their cunning to explore the frontiers of philosophy and they wrested from the chaos of the surrounding wilderness the building blocks of civilization. Though the Greeks were late to the game of writing, what they wrote became an important part of our world's heritage. Greek heroes taught us many lessons, from Homer's poetry about war and a warrior's return home to the tales of Cadmus, Jason, Herakles and even Oedipus. The myths of Greek heroes give us a glimpse beyond the edge of history, into the lives of very real people. How much of their tales are true, we may never know. But this book will present their tales in a new light, hopefully making their experiences a bit more real and perhaps shining a light on what may have really happened behind the distortions of time and generations of misunderstanding. This audiobook is broken into four parts. The first will explore Greek heroes, what they were like and what they accomplished. The second part of the book will tackle Greek religion; the gods and goddesses which establish the backdrop against which Greek legends were formed. In the third part of the book, we take a close look at the myths of Greek monsters. And finally, in the fourth part, we explore the possible meaning behind the literal words of Greek mythology. Early in the written history of ancient Greece, we have the great Athenian lawgiver, Solon. He attempted to tame the unruly beast within the heart of each Greek hero. They were selfish, each and every one of them. But they also had a code of honor that helped them reign in their selfishness. Listen to this audiobook now! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Life of Moses: A Biblical Portrait, Hörbuch, Digital, 265min
    Only one man is recognized by three world religions as liberator, lawgiver, prophet, and pastor. That man is Moses, and his story leaves a profound imprint on Western civilization. In this audio program, you will address the various struggles and triumphs throughout the life of Moses and come to better understand his legacy for the future generations of God's chosen people, the Israelites, as well as us as Christians today. This study will unite the accounts of Moses in the first five books of the Bible and illustrate clearly the full significance of this faithful servant. The story of Moses is one of the most well-known biblical accounts. The burning bush, the plagues in Egypt, the parting of the sea, and the 10 Commandments are widely familiar scenes that have been adapted for novels, art, and film over the centuries. But what is factual and what fictitious elements have current adaptations added to our imagination? With Dr. Stephen B. Reid, professor of Christian Scriptures at Baylor University, you'll discover that the story of Moses begins with the story of his people. How did these people, promised the land of Canaan, get so off course that they landed in Egypt? You will begin with the opening chapters of the book of Exodus, which depict the context of Moses' birth, adolescence, and early career. As Moses flees into the wilderness, he meets Zipporah, Jethro, and the Lord. These encounters compel him return to Egypt and the vocation that will take the rest of his life. Explore the 10 plagues, Passover, the miracle at the sea of reeds, the adventures in the wilderness, the Covenant and Law at Sinai, and Moses' reflections in his farewell address in Deuteronomy. This detailed course offers profound insight into the narrative of one of the Old Testament's most important figures. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen B. Reid.

    Mare Nostrum - Empires (engl.)
    The ancient Romans called the Mediterranean Sea mare nostrum", which is Latin for "our sea".Mare Nostrum is an empire-building game in which 3-5 players lead their individual ancient empires to dominion of Mare Nostrum. You grow the fame and glory of your empire by expanding your influence into new Provinces, then extending your Trade Caravans, building Markets, and founding new Cities and Temples. You can recruit Heroes and create Wonders to help your cause. But beware of your "friends" because they may look upon your gains with envy and greed...Mare Nostrum is a re-introduction by Academy Games and Asyncron of the original 2003 release with updated rules, counters, and map board. This edition includes many new components and multiple new ways to win!In more detail, you choose an empire to lead, which begins with three Provinces. You can lead with Caesar of Rome and its powerful Legions, or with Pericles, the prominent Greek statesman and orator, with the great Babylonian lawgiver and healer King Hammurabi, or with Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, whose engineers led in the development of grain storage and irrigation, or with Hannibal, leader of the Carthaginia, whose merchants thrived on trade and commerce. Now you decide how you will grow your empire. You can do this by:Expanding your Trade and creating Wonders.Concentrating on Culture and building the great Pyramids.Developing a strong and powerful Military to occupy the Provinces of other empires, orExerting Political Leadership by claiming the titles of Trade Leader, Cultural Leader, and Military Leader.Mare Nostrum - Empires' differs from the original Mare Nostrum in several key ways, with new improvements that add to the experience of the game. Some significant changes improve the pacing of the game, and others represent subtle changes that improve the balance and quality of play.'Victory Conditions'Mare Nostrum - Empires add two more victory conditions, beyond the original building of the Great Pyramids and collecting 5 Heroes and/or Wonders. Now victory can be achieved by expanding your empire and controlling 4 Capital and/or Legendary Cities, or by holding the titles of Trade, Culture and Military Leader. Players can now follow completely different strategies in their empire expansions!'Resources & Game Components'Tax and Good Resources in Mare Nostrum - Empires are represented by thick counters.A 13th trade resource has been added to the game.The number of buildings has been increased from 58 to 72.Heroes and Wonders are now represented by high quality tiles rather than cards. These Heroes and Wonders add new capabilities to game play and also influence the Leadership tracks.The map board is now fully adaptable for 3-5 players. We have unlocked the Leadership mapboard, which adds a LOT to game play.We have also unlocked the 2-player rules, which are fully developed and ready to be printed! And, we have added the Barbarians, which make the 2 player game even more difficult to play. (Evil laugh in the background :)'Trade Phase'Trading has been revamped and features an all new system.The Trade Leader is limited to 3 choices for Resource exchange: He has three Exchange tokens marked with '0 or 5', '1 or 2', and '3 or 4', that dictate the number of resources each player must offer for trade. All three Exchange tokens must be played before they may be reused. This adds a lot of tactics and strategy.Legendary Cities have been added to the game, which produce one hidden resource known only to the controller of the city. This is a subtle change that allows players to keep their opponents guessing as to what resources they have gathered.'Build Phase'Recruitment and Building of Heroes and Wonders has been revamped to be a gradient cost starting at 6 Resources, increasing by 1 Resource with each purchase. The 5th Heroes or Wonder has a cost of 10. This allows each player to reasonably recruit or build at least 2-3 Heroes or Wonders over the course of the game, adding depth to each strategy.Another streamlining change allows players to build in a Province on the same turn in which they have spread Influence into the Province.'Battle Phase'Mare Nostrum - Empires now includes Legion and Trireme Battle Dice that differ from each other. Legion Battle Dice have a range of 3-6 with faces 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6 and Trireme Sea Battle Dice have a range of 2-5 with faces 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5. This means that battles have less randomness and more strategy involved, as well as limiting the ability to fully blockage a player with a few naval units.Fortresses also have the ability to absorb one hit during a battle, expanding their overall usefulness.These changes balance battles by removing some of the randomness and improving the overall quality of the experience."
