    Thedeadgirlinthevacantlot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Phoenix investigative reporter Joya Bonner knew nothing about the world of sex trafficking - or the ugly status her city held in this filthy underground. But then her 15-year-old honorary niece went missing in Phoenix. And a 13-year-old from her hometown in North Dakota disappeared. And there was that pitiful dead girl in the vacant lot. As Joya rushed in to help - naive, scared, repulsed, frantic, but determined - her world would never be the same again.This is a work of fiction. The major characters are created from the author’s imagination - with the exception of Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin. They really did create a media empire that began with the Phoenix New Times; they really were arrested in the dead of night by Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s goons; they really did create Backpage.com that Congress calls an “online brothel"; they really are currently awaiting trial on scores of charges they facilitated child sex trafficking.The story woven around these characters - ripped from today's headlines - will shock you to your core. ungekürzt.

    Herodotus and Religion in the Persian Wars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
    The two great Persian invasions of Greece, in 490 and 480-79 B.C., both repulsed by the Greeks, provide our best opportunity for understanding the interplay of religion and history in ancient Greece on a large scale. Using the Histories of Herodotus as well as other historical and archaeological sources, Jon Mikalson shows how the Greeks practiced their religion at this pivotal moment in their history.In the period of the invasions and the years immediately afterward, the Greeks--internationally, state by state, and sometimes individually--turned to their deities, using religious practices to influence, understand, and commemorate events that were threatening their very existence. Greeks prayed and sacrificed; made and fulfilled vows to the gods; consulted oracles; interpreted omens and dreams; created cults, sanctuaries, and festivals; and offered dozens of dedications to their gods and heroes--all in relation to known historical events. By portraying the human situations and historical circumstances in which Greeks practiced their religion, Mikalson advances our knowledge of the role of religion in fifth-century Greece and reveals a religious dimension of the Persian Wars that has been heretofore overlooked. ungekürzt.
