Horsemen from the Steppe: Nothing but Glory: The Right Form of War Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
The Eurasian steppes have been described as “a great far-reaching solitude”, but it has been the home of untold numbers of people for millennia. From the forested margins of Poland to the frozen deserts of Mongolia, from the scorching sands of Persia to the numbing wastes of Siberia, the horsemen of the steppes periodically overrode Europe for 900 years, conquered China, and spread their culture to India and the Middle East. These nomads formed themselves into moving empires, which for a few years dominated the surrounding trembling nations, and then vanished and melted away, seemingly leaving little trace of their existence other than a record of destruction. Such were the monarchies of the Huns, Tartars, and Avars; the Scythians, Alans, and Sarmatians; and the Seljuks, Parthians, and Mongols. The horsemen of the steppes are best known for three characteristics. Their lives centered on their horses; they moved endlessly with their herds and families; and they were fierce and merciless warriors who used their mobility and powerful bows and arrows to threaten the so-called civilized world. The horsemen of the steppes are best known for three characteristics. Their lives centered on their horses; they moved endlessly with their herds and families; and they were fierce and merciless warriors who used their mobility and powerful bows and arrows to threaten the so-called civilized world. Until recently, the technological and cultural advances made by these nomadic peoples have been ignored, misrepresented, or even denigrated. In fact, other than glory, they left little or nothing of their material culture behind them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert L. Stone , Jr..

The Gobi Desert: The History and Legacy of the Asia’s Largest Desert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
The Gobi Desert seems like earth reduced to its most basic elements: rock, sky,glaring sunlight, and little else. The apparent emptiness is both compelling and intimidating. But the Gobi is not empty, it is filled with space, sky, history, and landscapes.... (Conservation Ink) In August of 2008, London-based Jane Macartney published this striking description of the Gobi Desert in The Times: "On the Mongolian steppes, the emptiness and the silence inspire awe. From time to time, a huge, tawny eagle drifts on the breeze, watching for small animals to snatch amid the grasses. The only movement on the ground comes from the flocks of sheep and goats, yaks and cattle that roam, heads down, as they much their way across the grasslands...." Alongside this stunning and therapeutic view of the grassland critters are a smattering of white yurts which belonged to the Mongolian nomads who now inhabit the land. Gazing upon the rest of the Gobi, furnished with rolling plains, sweeping steppes, cragged mountains, and singing sand dunes, the desert instills in one a similar sense of inner peace. In fact, these Kodak scenes are so picture-perfect that it is almost impossible to imagine the adventurous discoveries, devastating wars, colorful commerce, and dramatically different landscape that once appeared in its place. The Gobi Desert: The History and Legacy of the Asia’s Largest Desert examines the history of Asia’s greatest desert. You will learn about the Gobi Desert like never before. ungekürzt.
