    Travelling with Ghosts: An Intimate and Inspiring Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    In the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler, a 28-year-old marine biologist, was backpacking with her Australian fiancé, Sean, in Thailand. They were planning to return to Australia after their excursion to Koh Pha Ngan, but their plans were tragically derailed when a box jellyfish - the most venomous animal in the world - wrapped around Sean's leg, stinging and killing him in minutes as Shannon helplessly watched. Rejecting the Thai authorities' attempt to label the death 'drunk drowning', Shannon ferried his body home to his stunned family - a family to which she suddenly no longer belonged. Shattered and untethered, Shannon set out on a journey to make sense of her loss. From Oswiecim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz) to war-torn Israel, shelled-out Bosnia, poverty-stricken Romania, and finally Barcelona, where she had first met Sean years before, Shannon charted a path through sorrow towards recovery. ungekürzt.

    Under Dark Skies: The Steampunk Adventure of Bonnie & Clyde , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min
    It's 1932, more than 20 years after the First World War, when the Mechanical Nautiluses of the Mad Baron's fleet beached New England's shores and shelled New York City. You might be tempted to say that it's a time of peace and prosperity - only it's certainly not. At least, not for all those middle Americans living under the rolling clouds of the Great Smog, churned out by the Steam factories that are popping up everywhere, causing crop failures, blights, and dust-storms. It's certainly not peaceful for Clyde Chestnut Barrow and Bonnie Parker, two of the best outlaws and bank-robbers in the south. Especially so when a fellow inmate at Eastham Farm Prison lets Clyde onto a sure thing - an easy job that could win them a whole lot of money. Unfortunately, it's not just the cops who will be after them, but one of America's biggest gangster crime bosses. Bonnie & Clyde as you have never seen them before! An action-packed steampunk adventure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Milosevich. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082100/bk_acx0_082100_sample.mp3.

    The new novel from Victoria Hislop, the million-copy best-selling author of The Island, The Thread, and The Return. In the summer of 1972, Famagusta, in Cyprus, is the most desirable resort in the Mediterranean, a city bathed in the glow of good fortune. An ambitious couple open the island's most spectacular hotel, where Greek and Turkish Cypriots work in harmony. Two neighbouring families, the Georgious and the Özkans, are among many who moved to Famagusta to escape the years of unrest and ethnic violence elsewhere on the island. But beneath the city's façade of glamour and success, tension is building. When a Greek coup plunges the island into chaos, Cyprus faces a disastrous conflict. Turkey invades to protect the Turkish Cypriot minority, and Famagusta is shelled. Forty thousand people seize their most precious possessions and flee from the advancing soldiers. In the deserted city, just two families remain. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carole Boyd.

    Life in Hot Water: Wildlife at the Bottom of the Ocean
    A dramatic overview of the deep-sea extremophiles that thrive in scalding water and permanent darkness at the bottom of the ocean The scalding-hot water gushing from vents at the bottom of the ocean is one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Yet over millions of years, many organisms-from chemical-eating bacteria to eyeless crabs and iron-shelled snails-have evolved in amazing ways that enable them to thrive in this unlikely habitat. Scientists are hard at work to learn more about the complex ecosystems of the ocean depths. Award-winning science writer Mary Batten and NYT best-selling illustrator Thomas Gonzalez, the masterful duo that created Life in a Frozen World, team up again in this impressive overview of hydrothermal ocean vents. Her clear, informative text coupled with his unique and eerily realistic paintings of sights never seen on land-gushing "black smokers," ghostly blind shrimp, red-plumed tube worms-will entice readers to learn more about this once-hidden world at the bottom of the sea.

Cormack, is teamed with a boisterous MI5 officer, Walter Stilton, to find the spy and bring him to safety.

Many will be too weak to reach the safe port of Almería and will only survive because an ambulance and a Canadian doctor come to help. A doctor who will later be accused of spying and betrayal and will be unwillingly pushed out of Spain by the very people he had come to assist.The Forgotten Stories from Spain series brings you accounts of human bravery and spirit at a moment of unleashed cruelty during the Spanish Civil War.

    The Living Shore: Rediscovering a Lost World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
    In the 1990s, a marine scientist named Brian Kingzett was commissioned to survey Canada's western coast. He saw amazing sights, from the wildest, most breathtaking coasts to the smallest of marine creatures. Along the western side of Vancouver Island, Kingzett nosed into an isolated pocket beach where he found something unusual. Amid the mussels, barnacles, and clams were round oysters - Olympias. Kingzett noted their presence and paddled on. A decade later when he met Betsy Peabody, executive director of the Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF), he learned that this once ubiquitous native oyster was in steep decline, and he knew that together they would return to this remote spot. Rowan Jacobsen, along with Kingzett, Peabody, and a small group of scientists from PSRF and the Nature Conservancy, set out last July to see if the Olys were still surviving - and if they were, what they could learn from them. The goal: to use their pristine natural beds, which have probably been around for millennia, as blueprints for the habitat restoration efforts in Puget Sound. The implications are vast. If Peabody and her team can bring good health back to Puget Sound by restoring the intertidal zones - the areas of land exposed during low tide and submerged during high tide, where oysters live - their research could serve as a model for saving the world's oceans. During a time when the fate of the oceans seems uncertain, Rowan Jacobsen has found hope in the form of a small shelled creature living in the lost world where all life began. ungekürzt.
