Devil's Cut: A Bourbon Kings Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
In New York Times best-selling author J. R. Ward's thrilling finale to her Bourbon Kings series, the Bradford family dynasty teeters on the edge of collapse after the murder of their patriarch - and a shocking arrest. At first the death of William Baldwine, the head of the Bradford family, was ruled a suicide. But then his eldest son and sworn enemy, Edward, came forward and confessed to what was, in fact, a murder. Now in police custody, Edward mourns not the disintegration of his family or his loss of freedom...but the woman he left behind. His love, Sutton Smythe, is the only person he has ever truly cared about, but as she is the CEO of the Bradford Bourbon Company's biggest competitor, any relationship between them is impossible. And then there's the reality of the jail time that Edward is facing. Lane Baldwine was supposed to remain in his role of playboy, forever in his big brother Edward's shadow. Instead he has become the new head of the family and the company. Convinced that Edward is covering for someone else, Lane and his true love, Lizzie King, go on the trail of a killer - only to discover a secret that is as devastating as it is game changing. As Lane rushes to discover the truth and Sutton finds herself irresistibly drawn to Edward in spite of his circumstances, the lives of everyone at Easterly will never be the same again. For some this is good; for others it could be a tragedy beyond imagining. Only one thing is for certain: Love survives all things. Even murder. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Journey through Saxony - Reise durch Sachsen
Dieser Band ist in englischer Sprache erschienen! - Sachsen glänzt durch seine Städte und durch seine Landschaften. Dresden ließ August der Starke als Hauptresidenz und Machtzentrale durch seinen Baumeister Pöppelmann und Bildhauer Permoser zu einer Barockperle vom Zauber Versailles umbauen. Europäisches Kulturerbe wurde in der Elbmetropole mit sächsisch heiterem Geist vereint: der Zwinger und das Taschenberg-Palais, die Schlösser Moritzburg und Pillnitz erzählen auch vin dem Reichtum dieser Zeit, ermöglicht durch die Silberfunde im Erzgebirge.Leipzig hat seine lange Tradition als Messe- und Handelsstadt fortgeführt, Thomanerchor und Gewandhausorchester pflegen die musische Tradition. Chemnitz ist im Verbund mit Zwickau Westsachsens wirtschaftlicher und kultureller Motor. In Meißen wird das "weiße Gold" in der berühmten Porzellanmanufaktur bis heute hergestellt.Die landschaftliche Vielfalt ist nicht weniger beeindruckend: Vom Erzgebirge bis in das sächsische Burgen- und Heideland, vom Vogtland bis in die Oberlausitz, locken romantische Flussfahrten auf der Elbe die bizarre Landschaft des Elbsandsteingebirges, die idyllische Auenlandschaft der Mulde oder das Zittauer Gebirge.Über 200 Bilder zeigen Sachsen in all seinen Facetten. Vier Specials berichten über berühmte Sachsen von Johann Sebastian Bach bis Karl May, über den Machtmensch August den Starken, das Erzgebirge mit seinen alten Traditionen, über die sächsische Sprache und über typische Spezialitäten wie den Dresdner Stollen oder Leipziger Allerlei.The Free State of Saxony, the most easterly of Germany"s federal states, is diverse in both its culture and scenery from the highest point in the land, Fichtelberg, in the Erzgebirge to the jagged precipices of the Elbsandsteingebirge, from the Saxon Wine Route hugging the gentle contours of the River Elbe to the romantic valleys of the Mulde and Zschopau.The entire region has profited from its rich natural resources, with the metal deposits in the Erzgebirge funding Saxony"s glorious development of the arts. Many of the most important buildings in Saxony and particularly Dresden date back to the rule of Augustus the Strong under whose auspicious patronage Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann made architectural dreams come true. What the Zwinger, Schloss, Hofkirche and Semper Opera House are to Dresden, the historic trade centres and merchant stores are to Leipzig, its most famous being the Mädlerpassage with Auerbachs Keller and Goethe"s "Faust". Chemnitz is a city of secular cathedrals, of imposing monuments to industrial architecture from the "Gründerzeit" of the late 19th century.From the Muskauer Heide to the Vogtland, from the Leipziger Tieflandbucht to the Elbsandsteingebirge Saxony is portrayed here in over 200 colour photos.REISE DURCH ... ist eine Bildband-Reihe professionell fotografiert von renommierten Reisefotografen - - - Bis zu 230 Bilder auf 128 bis 140 Seiten - - - Sensationell günstiger Preis - - - Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten - - - Kultur und Traditionen - - - Kenntnisreiche Texte - - - Ausführliche Bildunterschriften - - - Farbige Übersichtskarte - - - Detailliertes Register - - - Auch in deutscher Sprache und gleicher Ausstattung lieferbar!- Shop: buecher

The End of Poverty?
Global poverty did not just happen. It began with military conquest, slavery and colonization that resulted in the seizure of land, minerals and forced labor. Today, the problem persists because of unfair debt, trade and tax policies - in other words, wealthy countries taking advantage of poor, developing countries. Renowned actor and activist, Martin Sheen, narrates the End of Poverty?, a feature-length documentary directed by award-winning director, Philippe Diaz, which explains how today's financial crisis is a direct consequence of these unchallenged policies that have lasted centuries. Consider that 20% of the planet's population uses 80% of it's resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate. At this rate, to maintain our lifestyle means more and more people will sink below the poverty line. Filmed in the slums of Africa and the barrios of Latin America, the End of Poverty? features expert insights from: Nobel prize winners in Economics, Amartya Sen and Joseph Stieglitz, acclaimed authors Susan George, Eric Toussaint, John Perkins, Chalmers Johnson, university professors William Easterly and Michael Watts, government ministers such as Bolivia's Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera and the leaders of social movements in Brazil, Venezuela, Kenya and Tanzania. It is produced by Cinema Libre Studio in collaboration with the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation.- Shop: odax
