    Der Angriff der Zeichen
    Klimakrise, Artenschwund, Pandemien und künstliche Intelligenz sind nur die eklatantesten Symptome eines vom Menschen entfachten planetarischen Umbruchs, der all unsere Gewissheiten infrage stellt. Was einst konstante Naturkulisse war, weicht dynamischen, bis tief ins Erdsystem greifenden Prozessen. Was Erfahrungsraum war, verflüchtigt sich in einem Jetzt, das wie ein Palimpsest Vergangenheit und Zukunft gleichermaßen in sich einschließt. Es ist eine Situation, für die wir keine Sprache ausgebildet haben, die sich jedoch, wie Bernd Scherer in dieser entlang entscheidender historischer Momente erzählten Tiefengeschichte des Anthropozäns skizziert, über Hunderte, ja Tausende Jahre entwickelte. Eine Situation, in der bestehende Darstellungsverfahren nicht mehr funktionieren und in der der Mensch als maßgebliche Kraft gezwungen ist, neue Denk- und Wissensbilder zu schaffen, »die jäh das Vertraute umbeleuchten, wenn nicht gar in Brand stecken«. Will man die anthropozänen Logiken verstehen, will man sich die Zeichen unserer Weltherstellung sinnlich vor Augen führen, gilt es, den Vorgeschichten in ihrer Bedeutung für die heutige Welt nachzuspüren und gemeinsam neue Lebensweisen zu erproben.

    The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon: An Elusive World Wonder Traced , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
    The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon is an exciting story of detection involving legends, expert decipherment of ancient texts, and a vivid description of a little-known civilization. Recognized in ancient times as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the legendary Hanging Garden of Babylon and its location still remains a mystery steeped in shadow and puzzling myths. In this remarkable volume Stephanie Dalley, a world expert on ancient Babylonian language, gathers for the first time all the material on this enigmatic World Wonder. Tracing the history of the Garden, Dalley describes how the decipherment of an original text and its link to sculpture in the British Museum has enabled her to pin down where the Garden was positioned and to describe in detail what it may have looked like. Through this dramatic and fascinating reconstruction of the Garden, Dalley is also able to follow its influence on later garden design. Like a palimpsest, Dalley unscrambles the many legends that have built up around the Garden, including the parts played by Semiramis and Nebuchadnezzar, and following the evolution of its design, she shows why this Garden deserves its place alongside the Pyramids and the Colossus of Rhodes as one of the most astonishing technical achievements of the ancient world.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Holy Land: An Introduction to Biblical Archaeology, Hörbuch, Digital, 265min
    This expertly taught 12-lecture course unearths the fascinating material culture of the Holy Land. A palimpsest of unique proportions, the Holy Land traces its history back across the many hands through which it passed: Roman, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim alike. By excavating the region’s rich grounds, archaeologists allow us to glimpse an array of ancient civilizations. As you peel back the layers of the Holy Land, you will gain a greater appreciation for its shifting history: the one-time City of David, the site of Jesus’ Galilean ministry, later the home of the emperor Constantine, and today the land shared by each Abrahamic faith. In Holy Land: An Introduction to Biblical Archaeology, leading archaeology expert and Catholic Theological Union professor Fr. Leslie J. Hoppe (PhD, Northwestern) reveals the Holy Land to you in a new light. The first lecture of the course introduces you to the enterprise of "biblical archaeology". Under Fr. Hoppe’s expert guidance, you will then learn about the histories and cultures of civilizations from the Iron Age up through the arrival of the Muslims in Jerusalem. As you explore the material culture of one of the world’s most storied regions, including such famous treasures as the Dome of the Rock and the Dead Sea Scrolls, you will gain new insights into scripture, history, and three major world religions. You will conclude with a discussion of biblical archaeology’s unresolved issues, challenges from modern-day political debates, and future prospects. Discover the legacy in stone still standing amidst the dust of civilizations. Language: English. Narrator: Leslie J. Hoppe.

    Watling Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
    A journey along one of Britain's oldest roads, from Dover to Anglesey, in search of the hidden history that makes us who we are today. Long ago a path was created by the passage of feet tramping through endless forests. Gradually that path became a track, and the track became a road. It connected the White Cliffs of Dover to the Druid groves of the Welsh island of Anglesey, across a land that was first called Albion then Britain, Mercia and eventually England and Wales. Armies from Rome arrived and straightened this 444 kilometres of meandering track, which in the Dark Ages gained the name Watling Street. Today, this ancient road goes by many different names: the A2, the A5 and the M6 Toll. It is a palimpsest that is always being rewritten. Watling Street is a road of witches and ghosts, of queens and highwaymen, of history and myth, of Chaucer, Dickens and James Bond. Along this route Boudicca met her end, the Battle of Bosworth changed royal history, Bletchley Park code breakers cracked Nazi transmissions and Capability Brown remodelled the English landscape. The myriad people who use this road every day might think it unremarkable, but, as John Higgs shows, it hides its secrets in plain sight. Watling Street is not just the story of a route across our island but an acutely observed, unexpected exploration of Britain and who we are today, told with wit and flair and an unerring eye for the curious and surprising.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min
    I raise my glass to my eldest son. His pregnant wife and daughter are sleeping above us. Outside, the March evening is cold and clear. 'To life!' I say as the glasses clink with a delicate and pleasing sound. My mother says something to the dog. Then the phone rings. We don't answer it. Who could be calling so late on a Saturday evening?In March 2015, Naja Marie Aidt's 25-year-old son, Carl, died in a tragic accident.     When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back is about losing a child. It is about formulating a vocabulary to express the deepest kind of pain. And it's about finding a way to write about a reality invaded by grief, lessened by loss.    Faced with the sudden emptiness of language, Naja finds solace in the anguish of Joan Didion, Nick Cave, C. S. Lewis, Mallarmé, Plato and other writers who have suffered the deadening impact of loss. Their torment suffuses with her own as Naja wrestles with words and contests their capacity to speak for the depths of her sorrow.    This palimpsest of mourning enables Naja to turn over the pathetic, precious transience of existence and articulates her greatest fear: to forget. The insistent compulsion to reconstruct the harrowing aftermath of Carl's death keeps him painfully present, while fragmented memories, journal entries and poetry inch her closer to piecing Carl's life together.   Intensely moving and quietly devastating, this is what it is to be a family, what it is to love and lose and what it is to treasure life in spite of death's indomitable resolve.   ungekürzt.
