Buried somewhere along that perilous path is the magical helm of Grallen, son of King Duncan, tragic hero of the Dwarfgate War. The finder of Grallen's helm, it is prophesized, will be rewarded and honored by a united Thorbardin - but he will also open the gates of the realm to fresh horror and chaos.

    The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Health Care , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 759min
    Until very recently, if you were to ask most doctors, they would tell you there were only two kinds of medicine: the quack kind, and the evidence-based kind. The former is baseless, and the latter based on the best information human effort could buy, with carefully controlled double-blind trials, hundreds of patients, and clear indicators of success. Well, Eric Topol isn't most doctors, and he suggests you entertain the notion of a third kind of medicine, one that will make the evidence-based state-of-the-art stuff look scarcely better than an alchemist trying to animate a homunculus in a jar. It turns out that plenty of new medicines - although tested with what seem like large trials - actually end up revealing most of their problems only once they get out in the real world, with millions of people with all kinds of conditions mixing them with everything in the pharmacopeia. The unexpected interactions of drugs, patients, and diseases can be devastating. And the clear indicators of success often turn out to be minimal, often as small as one fewer person dying out of a hundred (or even a thousand), and often at exorbitant cost. How can we avoid these dangerous interactions and side-effects? How can we predict which person out of a hundred will be helped by a new drug, and which fatally harmed? And how can we avoid having to need costly drugs in the first place? It sure isn't by doing another 400-person trial. As Topol argues in The Creative Destruction of Medicine, it's by bringing the era of big data to the clinic, laboratory, and hospital, with wearable sensors, smartphone apps, and whole-genome scans providing the raw materials for a revolution. Combining all the data those tools can provide will give us a complete and continuously updated picture of every patient, changing everything from the treatment of disease, to the prolonging of health, to the development of new treatments. As revolutionary as the past 20 years in persona ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/002416/bk_tant_002416_sample.mp3.

    The Patient Will See You Now: The Future of Medicine Is in Your Hands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 676min
    In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, examines what he calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment". Much as the printing press liberated knowledge from the control of an elite class, new technology is poised to democratize medicine. In this new era, patients will control their data and be emancipated from a paternalistic medical regime in which "the doctor knows best." Mobile phones, apps, and attachments will literally put the lab and the ICU in our pockets. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. In spite of these benefits, the path forward will be complicated; some in the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine will raise serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result - better, cheaper, and more humane health care for all - will be worth it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Michael Summerer.

    Ein empfindsamer Mensch
    Eine tschechische Künstlerfamilie, eine Art Living Theatre, gastiert beim Shakespeare Festival in Großbritannien und wird von Brexit-Anhängern aus dem Land gejagt (LEAVE MEANS LEAVE! NO CZECH VERMIN!). Im Campingwagen reisen sie quer durch Europa, gegen den Strom der Flüchtlinge, Richtung Osten. Sie geraten ins russisch-ukrainische Kriegsgebiet, treffen Gerard Depardieu, klauen ihm seinen BMW und machen sich auf den Heimweg nach Böhmen. Ihre Odyssee führt durchs »Labyrinth der Welt« und ins »Lusthaus des Herzens«.Als »politischer Gegenwartsroman« wurde Topols neuer Roman in Tschechien gefeiert. Er spielt 2015 und nimmt Motive aus seiner mitteleuropäischen 1989er-Road-Novel Die Schwester auf, mit der Topol als junger Dichter berühmt wurde. Damals reisten seine Helden durch eine Landschaft nach dem Ende des Ost-Westkonflikts, die ihnen die Lavabrocken der Vergangenheit vor die Füße schleuderte - alles war in Bewegung, die einst geschlossenen Gesellschaften brachen auf in eine ungewisse, aber lockende Freiheit.Sprachgewaltig und karnevalesk ist auch Topols heutige Vermessung Europas. Ein Kontinent, der wieder Mauern hochzieht und sich in nationalistische Träumereien verkriecht, während die Suche nach dem Sinn menschlichen Daseins und der eigenen Identität immer weiter geht.
