    Endgame: The Complete Fugitive Archives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
    A companion to the New York Times best-selling Endgame series, The Complete Fugitive Archives is a collection of prequel novellas about a forbidden love that threatens Endgame in post-World War II Germany. It's 1948, and World War II has just ended. Berlin is in pieces, torn apart by bullets, bombs, and bloodshed. But a particular scientist has survived - one with vital knowledge of an ancient weapon. When Endgame spies learn of the news, Boone, a Cahokian, and Ariadne, a Minoan, are each sent undercover to find the scientist amid the snowy rubble. But when their paths intertwine, the last thing they expect is to let their guards down and work together. With the line between enemy and ally blurred, the success of their mission - and the fate of the world - may be at stake. Because this is Endgame. And only one of them can win. ungekürzt.

    Cataclysm in Blue Water , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
    The desperate wish of a half-Egyptian half-Minoan boy, who crafts a granulated gold starfish pendant in 1886 B.C. to honor his mother, is the heart of this novel. It is an epic journey filled with intrigue, romance, thievery, murder, and natural disaster over the course of four thousand years. A riveting modern mystery weaves in and out of an ancient mystery. From the royal workshop of King Amenemhet II of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt - to the Bronze-Age world of the Minoans and the horrific volcanic eruption of Santorini - to the professor who discovered the ash-covered village known today as Akrotiri - and to our unrelenting modern-day heroine, Krista, who uncovers the truth - the reader is swept along an amazing and breathtaking journey. Krista's unforgettable cruise in the Mediterranean is shrouded in mystery. This novel is based on historical and geologic truth. The reader will enjoy a fresh approach to an enduring enigma. While focused on the human drama in the lives of several fascinating ancient characters, the reader is given a ground-zero view of one of the greatest volcanic eruptions of all time. Through the eyes of the nature-loving, sophisticated, and technically-advanced Minoans, who were living in the midst of geologic madness, the reader gets a glimpse of what is likely the birth of the legend of Atlantis. ungekürzt.

    The Parting of the Sea: How Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Plagues Shaped the Story of Exodus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    For more than four decades, biblical experts have tried to place the story of Exodus into historical context - without success. What could explain the Nile turning into blood, insects swarming the land, and the sky falling to darkness? Integrating biblical accounts with substantive archaeological evidence, The Parting of the Sea looks at how natural phenomena shaped the stories of Exodus, the Sojourn in the Wilderness and the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Barbara Sivertsen demonstrates that the Exodus was in fact two separate exoduses stemming from two volcanic eruptions. Over time, Israelite oral tradition combined these events into the Exodus narrative known today.Skillfully unifying textual and archaeological records with details of ancient geological events, Sivertsen shows how the first exodus followed a 1628 B.C.E. Minoan eruption that produced all but one of the first nine plagues. The second exodus followed an eruption of a volcano off the Aegean island of Yali almost two centuries later, creating the tenth plague of darkness and a series of tsunamis that "parted the sea" and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. Sivertsen's brilliant account explains inconsistencies in the biblical story, fits chronologically with the conquest of Jericho, and confirms that the Israelites were in Canaan before the end of the sixteenth century B.C.E. In examining oral traditions and how these practices absorb and process geological details through storytelling, The Parting of the Sea reveals how powerful historical narratives are transformed into myth. The book is published by Princeton University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernadette Dunn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/redw/000137/bk_redw_000137_sample.mp3.

    The Roots of Violence: Why Humans Are Not by Nature Violent: Essays on Law, Policy, and Psychiatry, Volume 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
    The Roots of Violence: Why Humans Are Not by Nature Violent (Essays on Law, Policy and Psychiatry, Vol. 10, 2018) is an analytical and policy study that presents abundant evidence that human beings are not by nature violent and that violence therefore is a conditioned response. The scientific disciplines examined are anthropology, biology, neurology, pedagogy, psychoanalysis, and sociology. The auidobook shows the historical development of the roots of violence as they sprang forth from the patriarchal murder cultures that were putting an end to the peaceful matriarchal empires such as the Minoan civilization in Crete. To begin with, anthropological research by Bronislaw Malinowski and Margaret Mead in Polynesia shows how a truly peaceful matriarchal cultures is permissive in their child-rearing paradigm, giving children ample space for exploring their bodies and their sexual attractions to peers, while adults stay out of that space entirely. Biological research conducted by Ashley Montagu with rhesus shows how important tactile stimulation is for the young and how early tactile deprivations leaves scares in the psyche in the form of a messed-up relational code. Furthermore, the research by neurologist Herbert James Campbell delivered evidence for the fact that all human endeavor is based upon pleasure, while later on, neuropsychologist James W. Prescott showed how pleasure and violence are mutually exclusive, which means that when pleasure, sexual, tactile, or other, is repressed, violence comes up in the brain as an "alternative conditioned response". Based on the research being on the table, the author draws policy conclusions for the prevention of violence both in the social and the educational domain. ungekürzt. Language: English.
