Ard Righ: A Celtic Tale, Book I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
The legions of Rome were in full withdraw, fighting as they went, surrounded by enemies in a multi-front war that was proving too costly for the empire to sustain. Briton, the last land conquered, became the first land abandoned, and would be left to fend for itself against the ever-encroaching barbarian hoards of Picti, Saecsons, and Hybernians - all eager to fill the vacuum that Rome left behind. Briton would stand on its own feet, or fall and be lost forever in the mists of time. Briton needed a champion. Briton needed - an Arthur. ARD RIGH chronicles the early life of Arthur, the burgeoning king of Summer, following the legendary character from his much-anticipated birth through his heroic ascension to the sovereignty of Briton, culminating in his defense of sovereignty itself against the treasonous renegade Lot. ungekürzt.

The Oxford Handbook of the European Bronze Age (eBook, PDF)
The Oxford Handbook of the European Bronze Age is a wide-ranging survey of a crucial period in prehistory during which many social, economic, and technological changes took place. Written by expert specialists in the field, the book provides coverage both of the themes that characterize the period, and of the specific developments that took place in the various countries of Europe. After an introduction and a discussion of chronology, successive chapters deal with settlement studies, burial analysis, hoards and hoarding, monumentality, rock art, cosmology, gender, and trade, as well as a series of articles on specific technologies and crafts (such as transport, metals, glass, salt, textiles, and weighing). The second half of the book covers each country in turn. From Ireland to Russia, Scandinavia to Sicily, every area is considered, and up to date information on important recent finds is discussed in detail. The book is the first to consider the whole of the European Bronze Age in both geographical and thematic terms, and will be the standard book on the subject for the foreseeable future.- Shop: buecher

The Little Library , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
Elliott Thompson was once a historian with a promising academic future, but his involvement in a scandal meant a lost job, public shame, and a ruined love life. He took shelter in his rural California hometown, where he teaches online classes, hoards books, and despairs of his future. Simon Odisho has lost a job as well - to a bullet that sidelined his career in law enforcement. While his shattered knee recovers, he rethinks his job prospects and searches for the courage to come out to his close-knit but conservative extended family. In an attempt to manage his overflowing book collection, Elliott builds a miniature neighborhood library in his front yard. The project puts him in touch with his neighbors - for better and worse - and introduces him to handsome, charming Simon. While romance blooms quickly between them, Elliott's not willing to live in the closet, and his best career prospects might take him far away. His books have plenty to tell him about history, but they give him no clues about a future with Simon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew McFerrin.

Orconomics: A Satire: The Dark Profit Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
Professional heroes kill and loot deadly monsters every day, but Gorm Ingerson's latest quest will be anything but business as usual. The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. Of course, that's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers (or NPCs) to avoid being killed and looted by heroes. When Gorm Ingerson, a Dwarven ex-hero with a checkered past, stands up for an undocumented goblin, he inadvertently singles himself out for recruitment by a prophet of the mad goddess to undertake a suicidal quest. But there's more to Gorm's new job than an insane prophecy: powerful corporations and governments have shown an unusual interest in the quest. If his party of eccentric misfits can stop fighting each other long enough to recover the Elven Marbles, Gorm might be able to turn a bad deal into a golden opportunity. ungekürzt. Language: English.
