A Mask of Shadows: Frey & McGray, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 832min
It is 1889 and The Scottish Play is coming home. But before the darling couple of London theatre, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, take their acclaimed Macbeth to the Edinburgh stage terror treads the boards. A grisly message is found smeared across the cobbles in blood, foretelling someone's demise. As the bloody prophecies continue to appear, Edinburgh's own beloved pair - Detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and Inspector Ian Frey - enter the scene. Frey scoffs at this blatant publicity stunt, while McGray is convinced of supernatural affairs. As they scrutinise the key players, they discover that Terry, Irving, and his peculiar, preoccupied assistant (one Bram Stoker) all have reasons to kill, or be killed.... But one thing is clear. By occult curse or human hand, death will take a bow the night the curtain rises. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andy Secombe.

Adam Only: Those Other Books, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min, (USK 18)
Onstage, Adam lets his passion drive him. All his secret desires, everything nasty, dirty, and beautiful flows freely through him, for once in harmony. His soul thrives when his body moves, but only onstage. Adam’s passionate nature makes him a great dancer...and a failure at life. He’s a lonely, emotional mess. Going home with a man far out of his reach is the last thing Adam should do. Christoffer represents everything Adam isn’t: Strong, independent, educated, and rich. His kind eyes, at odds with his brutish form, make Adam's knees and restraint buckle.Once Christoffer sees Adam dancing, he’s lost. The young man is mesmerizing, otherworldly, and unpredictable. Whatever might happen between them, it will be transient, and Christoffer will most likely get hurt. The temptation is too great, however, and the sex explosive. He might as well enjoy every moment he’s given, even if it’s just one day, maybe two. If Christoffer treads carefully, Adam might stay until Monday. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Solo.

The Future of China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
One must accept that a lot of inconsistencies about China will never sound good in terms of the Western mindset. However, China, whose Communist Party government turns 70 today, treads the path of growth, carrying occasional embarrassment of inconsistency. A similar China that is acclaimed for the infringement of its human rights is the China that has been able to elevate more than 900 million individuals out of destitution, which is evident as per figures of increase of capita GDP from $89 in 1960 to nearly $10,000 today. The China where rural children used to burn waste rubbish to keep warm is a similar China that had a weekly contribution of at least two billionaires by the end of 2017 and simultaneously the life expectancy where future improved from 45 years in 1960 to almost 90 years today. Nevertheless, people observe China, nowadays, that it cannot be disregarded, particularly by big investors regardless of nationality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Tupman.

Michael Palin: New Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
Michael Palin reads his own account of a journey into a new Europe. Michael Palin's New Europe starts with a simple idea: that only a couple of hours from home are a half of Europe that is for him as unknown and unexplored as the plateau of Tibet or the vastness of the Sahara. Cut off for most of his life by Cold Wars and Iron Curtains, Europe's eastern lands are now open for business - and Michael sets off to discover them. Visiting 20 countries, more than in his Himalaya and Sahara journeys combined, he encounters painful memories and exuberant celebrations. Throwing himself into local life with his usual reckless curiosity, he samples pig fat with a brandy chaser, meets Romanian lumberjacks, drives the 8.58 stopping train from Poznan to Wolsztyn, learns about mine-clearing in Bosnia, treads the catwalk at a Budapest fashion show and watches Turkish gents wrestling in olive oil. It's New Europe, but vintage Palin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Palin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/006276/bk_bbcw_006276_sample.mp3.

Underwater Acoustics: Analysis, Design and Performance of Sonar
Offering complete and comprehensive coverage of modern sonar spectrum system analysis, Underwater Acoustics: Analysis, Design and Performance of Sonar provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the subject and has been carefully structured to offer a much-needed update to the classic text by Urick. Expanded to included computational approaches to the topic, this book treads the line between the highly theoretical and mathematical texts and the more populist, non-mathematical books that characterize the existing literature in the field. The author compares and contrasts different techniques for sonar design, analysis and performance prediction and includes key experimental and theoretical results, pointing the reader towards further detail with extensive references. Practitioners in the field of sonar design, analysis and performance prediction as well as graduate students and researchers will appreciate this new reference as an invaluable and timely contribution to the field. Chapters include the sonar equation, radiated, self and ambient noise, active sonar sources, transmission loss, reverberation, transducers, active target strength, statistical detection theory, false alarms, contacts and targets, variability and uncertainty, modelling detections and tactical decision aids, cumulative probability of detection, tracking target motion analysis and localization, and design and evaluation of sonars- Shop: buecher
