  Lost Worlds of South America, Hörbuch, Digital, 711min

  Buried by the centuries on soaring mountain slopes and beneath arid deserts and lush jungles of South America, the remains of extraordinary, majestic civilizations - many unknown until recent decades - are now coming to light and raising tantalizing questions about what else may be awaiting discovery. Take an adventurous trek to these wilds of South America and the great civilizations of the ancients. In 24 eye-opening lectures, you'll take an in-depth look at the emerging finds and archaeological knowledge of more than 12 seminal civilizations, giving you rich insight into the creative vision and monumental achievements of these wellsprings of human life. The ancient South Americans show us striking models of how societies can function and organize themselves. The technologies and social structures seen here were wholly invented, using no preexisting models, as these dynamic peoples struggled to tame their environment and carve out societies and empires. Recently unearthed marvels include elaborately prepared and adorned mummies that predate Egypt's by 2000 years; imposing palaces, solar observatories, and dramatically decorated pyramids; stunning art objects in gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and ceramic; and evidence of huge urban civilizations in the Amazon. In their amazing sophistication and scale, the sites reveal some of the most remarkable ancient artifacts found anywhere in the world. The breathtaking valleys, mountains, and deserts you will study in this course reveal wonders that rival anything we know of the ancient world. Travel with us to a lost and splendorous past - a fountainhead of civilization that speaks unforgettably of human striving, vision, and the indomitable will to endure.

  Beyond Control: The Mississippi River's New Channel to the Gulf of Mexico (America's Third Coast Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min

  Beyond Control reveals the Mississippi as a waterway of change, unnaturally confined by ever-larger levees and control structures. During the great flood of 1973, the current scoured a hole beneath the main structure near Baton Rouge and enlarged a preexisting football-field-size crater. That night the Mississippi River nearly changed its course for a shorter and steeper path to the sea. Such a map-changing reconfiguration of the country's largest river would bear national significance as well as disastrous consequences for New Orleans and towns like Morgan City, at the mouth of the Atchafalaya River.Beyond Control traces the history of this phenomenon, beginning with a major channel shift around 3,000 years ago. By the time European colonists began to explore the Lower Mississippi Valley, a unique confluence of waterways had formed where the Red River joined the Mississippi, and the Atchafalaya River flowed out into the Atchafalaya Basin. A series of human alterations to this potentially volatile web of rivers, starting with a bend cutoff in 1831 by Captain Henry Miller Shreve, set the forces in motion for the Mississippi's move into the Atchafalaya Basin.Told against the backdrop of the Lower Mississippi River's impending diversion, the book's chapters chronicle historic floods, rising flood crests, a changing strategy for flood protection, and competing interests in the management of the Old River outlet.The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."This is a fascinating - and, in many places, downright riveting - look at the Mississippi River and the problems and threats it creates." (John M. Barry, author of Rising Tide)"Highly readable account of the endless struggles to harness a dynamic Mississippi River." (Craig E. Colten, Louisiana State University, author of Southern Waters) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R F McCoy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/224062/bk_acx0_224062_sample.mp3.

  Breaking the Chains of Gravity: The Story of Spaceflight Before NASA , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min

  NASA's history is a familiar story, culminating with the agency successfully landing men on the moon in 1969. But NASA's prehistory is a rarely told tale, one that is largely absent from the popular space-age literature but that gives the context behind the incredible lunar program. America's space agency wasn't created in a vacuum; it was assembled from preexisting parts, drawing together some of the best minds the non-Soviet world had to offer. With a central narrative woven from the stories of key historical figures, Breaking the Chains of Gravity tells the story of NASA's roots in an engaging and accessible way. The book begins with Wernher von Braun, the engineer behind the V-2 rocket, who dreamt of sending rockets into space. He orchestrated a daring escape from the ruins of Nazi Germany and was taken to America, where he began developing missiles for the United States Army. Ten years later his Redstone rocket was the only one capable of launching a payload into orbit. Just what payload von Braun's rockets would launch was under consideration at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. While working out how to get a nuclear warhead through the atmosphere, NACA pioneered a round-bottomed capsule that could also keep men safe when returning from space. Meanwhile, US Air Force pilots rode to the fringes of space in balloons to see how humans handled radiation at high altitude, while NACA test pilots like Neil Armstrong flew cutting-edge aircraft in the thin upper atmosphere. Breaking the Chains of Gravity looks at the evolution of America's nascent space program, its scientific advances, its personalities, and the rivalries it caused between the various arms of the United States military, right up to the launch of Sputnik in 1957. At this point getting a man in space became a national imperative, leading to the creation by Dwight D. Eisenhower of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Ass Raping Zombies: Fragmented, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min, (USK 18)

  In the futuristic world of the "Dome Region", rap artist Gangsta Jay defends his number 1 spot on the charts against Big Booty Judy and Sister Jake. Historical Events - In the year 2020, on Timewave 3, the novel coronavirus transformed after a former Nazi Soldier contracted it. The soldier had been part of a top-secret experiment performed by Nazi scientists during World War II, at the Auschwitz camp. The surviving combatant was living incognito under the identity of Lyle Quasar for some 60-years. During Christmas break 2020, after his return from Beijing China, graduate student Lijun Wang, unknowingly brought a new strand of coronavirus to Madison, WI. The rushed vaccine that allowed for airlines to reopen prevented the patient from getting sick but did not prevent contagion. Mr. Wang effectively infected the entire 6th floor of The Metropolitan Place Condominiums where Lyle lived as his neighbor. The majority had little to no symptoms, however, complications due to the new COVID strand caused Lyle to die at the age of 96 while resting in his bed. As Lyle laid dead on his back, a transmutation occurred with the virus and a preexisting material. The COVID-20 fused with a nanoquantum-extraterrestrial-liquid that had been dormant in the blood of the renegade. This liquid like metallic substance embedded itself in the DNA, and the combination gave the virus the perfect median to become the host for the alien technology. It then transformed into a super strand of nanoCOVID, which was an unfortunate event for The Anunnaki as it ruined their plans to use the human’s bodies as avatars on Timewave 3, allowing humanoids to continue to flourish well beyond the year 2040. The alien technology was discovered by the Nazi party during an excavation of the sphinx in Egypt; not by accident but under the instruction of Hitler aka Abaddon. It had been planted there for the purpose of human experimentation around 10,000 BC by Anunnaki scientist ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer S.

  58 Effective Cancer Therapies Backed Up by Science You Probably Never Heard About: Get Rid of Any Type of Cancer and Any Other Disease Fast with No Side Effects , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min

  Is there a cure for cancer? Definitely! The cancer therapies in this book are the ones your medical doctor will not mention to you, and yet they have been scientifically proven to work (many of them work much better than any chemotherapy drug out there). Many of these cancer therapies have helped millions of people to get rid of cancer and many other diseases once and forever. They go way beyond good nutrition and diet, and there are scientific studies done on each of them. Many of the therapies in this book are completely free; some cost pennies, others cost a few dollars a day, but all of them are based on science and are thousands of times cheaper than any chemotherapy, and, most importantly, they have no side effects (unless you have certain allergies or a specific preexisting condition). For some of the cancer therapies in this book, you don't need to interact with a medical practitioner; for others you do. I believe in treating cancer with anything that works and doesn't make things worse. But it goes without saying that surgery and poisoning shouldn't be acceptable ways to treat a disease that is curable in other ways. Medical doctors and biomed companies are doing their jobs. They do what is expected from them and what they are paid for. You have to do your job. And your job is to take your own health in your own hands and not trust anyone but yourself when it comes to your body. You hold the power to cure yourself, and you should not give that power away to anyone who makes profits out of your disease, as when that is the case it is very likely that their intentions might not be quite sincere. If you are reading this, most probably you are or a loved one is sick. This book costs less than a meal in a restaurant in New York City, and the knowledge you will get on how you could get your health and your life back in return is priceless. You decide whether your health is worth that price or not. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Zucosky. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/065104/bk_acx0_065104_sample.mp3.
