    Athens: City of Wisdom
    A sweeping narrative history of Athens, telling the three-thousand-year story of the birthplace of Western civilization. Even on the most smog-bound of days, the rocky outcrop on which the Acropolis stands is visible above the sprawling roof-scape of the Greek capital. Athens presents one of the most recognizable and symbolically potent panoramas of any of the world's cities: the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon - the temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, that crowns the Acropolis - dominate a city whose name is synonymous for many with civilization itself. It is hard not to feel the hand of history in such a place. The birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and theatre, Athens' importance cannot be understated. Few cities have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and quietness. From the legal reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first century Athens, as it struggles with the legacy of the economic crises of the 2000s, Clark brings the city's history to life, evoking its cultural richness and political resonance in this epic, kaleidoscopic history.

    Tyler Matthews is desperate for change. Sick of his life and plagued by alcoholism, he makes the decision to divorce his wife, sell everything he owns and travel the world to try to find focus and rid himself of his addiction. Eventually arriving on the sun drenched shores of Australia and still plagued by his demons, he has spent all his savings and is facing the prospect of having to return to his old life. It is here that he meets two men with an outlandish story about a horde of sunken drug money in an area known as the Devil's Triangle - Australia's answer to its Bermuda namesake and said to be the lair of a terrifying monster of the deep. Offered a share of the fortune if he helps retrieve it, Tyler agrees to go with the men to the location, skeptical and thinking only of prolonging his journey of self-discovery. He will learn, however, that this particular urban legend is real, and they encounter a giant of the seas, the previously thought to be extinct Megalodon which makes its home within the area of the Devil's triangle. Barely escaping with their lives, the three men wash up on an isolated island - no more than a rocky outcrop with no vegetation, fresh water of food sources. As desperation to survive intensifies, horrifying decisions will be made that will illustrate how man is sometimes the most violent predator on earth and when left with no option will do anything, even the unthinkable, in order to survive. ungekürzt.

    The Sandburg Connection: The Sam Blackman Mysteries, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    It was only a simple, routine assignment for private investigator Sam Blackman and his partner, Nakayla Robertson: follow a history professor, who is suing a spinal surgeon for malpractice, and catch her in physical activities that undercut her claim.When the professor, Janice Wainwright, visits Connemara, the home of the poet Carl Sandburg, in Flat Rock, North Carolina, and climbs the arduous trail to the top of Glassy Mountain, Sam believes he has the evidence he needs to wrap up the case—until he finds the woman semiconscious and bleeding on the mountain’s granite outcrop. Her final words were “It’s the Sandburg verses. The Sandburg verses.”As the first person to discover the dying woman, Sam becomes the prime suspect. Now the case is personal. An autopsy reveals painkillers in her blood and solid proof of the surgeon’s errors, and Sam is left with haunting questions: Why did this suffering woman endure the climb to the mountaintop? Did she stumble and fall or did someone cause her death?Then a breakin at the Wainwright farmhouse and the theft of Sandburg volumes convince Sam that someone is seeking information worth killing for. But what did Pulitzer Prize winner Sandburg have in his literary collection that could lead to multiple murders? And who will be targeted next?Sam and Nakayla must navigate a convoluted trail of historical facts and mountain legends to arrive at the truth—a truth that Carl Sandburg never knew he possessed—and a treasure to be had for a song. ungekürzt.

    King Arthur: The Legend of King Arthur, Excaliber, & the Knights of the Round Table (Royalty Biography) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
    Do you want to learn more about the great rulers of history, but don’t have time to listen to huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of the life and times of some of the most famous and infamous (and some forgotten) men and women that have ruled as Kings, Queens, and Conquerors.Tintagel, Cornwall, England on a wild and windy day is a spectacular place to be, however, for anyone with an interest in King Arthur, Tintagel is far more than a dramatic landscape. Search the history books and you’ll struggle to find any reference made to England’s best loved King, yet make your way to this craggy outcrop, where the sound of the sea is simply mesmerizing, and you’ll find yourself closer to the legend of King Arthur than in any other place on earth.There are those who consider Tintagel to be the site of King Arthur’s court at Camelot, but for most, Tintagel is generally recognized as the place where Arthur was born. As you begin to uncover the story of Arthur’s entrance into the world, you will quickly understand why he’s absent from the “factual” records of history.Whatever your interest in King Arthur, historical or romantic, there is something here to suit every taste, and as the story unfolds before you, the intoxicating mix of mythology and fact will prove utterly irresistible.The History JournalsWe create enlightening history books for people looking to learn about topics in a quick study guide format.

    3D Digital Geological Models: From Terrestrial Outcrops to Planetary Surfaces
    Discover the practical aspects of modeling techniques and their applicability on both terrestrial and extraterrestrial structuresA wide overlap exists in the methodologies used by geoscientists working on the Earth and those focused on other planetary bodies in the Solar System. Over the course of a series of sessions at the General Assemblies of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna, the intersection found in 3D characterization and modeling of geological and geomorphological structures for all terrestrial bodies in our solar system revealed that there are similar datasets and common techniques for the study of all planets--Earth and beyond--from a geological point-of-view. By looking at Digital Outcrop Models (DOMs), Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), or Shape Models (SM), the researcher may achieve digital representations of outcrops, topographic surfaces, or entire small bodies of the Solar System, like asteroids or comet nuclei.3D Digital Geological Models has two central objectives, namely, to highlight the similarities that geological disciplines have in common when applied to entities in the Solar System, and to encourage interdisciplinary communication and collaboration between different scientific communities. The book particularly focuses on analytical techniques on DOMs, DEMs and SM that allow for quantitative characterization of outcrops and geomorphological features. It also highlights innovative 3D interpretation and modeling strategies that allow scientists to gain new and more advanced quantitative results on terrestrial and extraterrestrial structures.3D Digital Geological Models readers will also find:* The first volume dedicated to this subject matter that successfully integrates methodology and applications* A series of methodological chapters that provide instruction on best practices involving DOMs, DEMs, and SMs* A wide range of case studies, including small- to large-scale projects on Earth, Mars, the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet, and the Moon* Examples of how data collected at surface can help reconstruct 3D subsurface models3D Digital Geological Models is a useful reference for academic researchers in earth science, structural geology, geophysics, petroleum geology, remote sensing, geostatistics, and planetary scientists, among others, and graduate students studying in these fields. It may also be of interest for professionals from industry, particularly those in the mining and hydrocarbon fields.
