For Hudson, the virtual world of PrimeVerse isn't all bad. It's beautiful, much nicer than overpopulated Earth. It almost feels like a vacation except for the volatile wildlife, lack of any amenities, and—oh yeah—the inability to log out. Exploring the world, learning his class, and leveling skills is all fun and games until a powerful rogue player with a vendetta shows up to wipe out Hudson and his primitive tribe. Thrust into a conflict he didn't create, Hudson is forced into a cycle of respawning where he learns that even death can be used as a tool. So much for that vacation.

When Leosz was only six, his life changed completely. World War II broke out in 1939, sweeping the young boy into the whirlwind of the holocaust. For six long torturous years, Leosz sees and goes through everything: myriads of overcrowded transports headed for concentration camps, life on the streets of occupied Poland as an abandoned child, hiding from cruel Nazis, forced labor under conditions of starvation, and the constant threat of death.

Brought to you by Penguin. 'In the twenty-first century, infectious disease seemed like a nuisance, not like a mortal threat' Just as Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower became the defining account of our century's first devastating event, 9/11, so The Plague Year will become the defining...

¿Listo para unirte al club? En un pacífico complejo privado para jubilados, cuatro improbables amigos se reúnen una vez a la semana para revisar antiguos casos de asesinatos locales que quedaron sin resolver. Ellos son Ron, un exactivista socialista lleno de tatuajes y revolución; la dulce Joyce, una viuda que no es tan ingenua como aparenta; Ibrahim, un antiguo psiquiatra con una increíble capacidad de análisis, y la tremenda y enigmática Elizabeth, que, a sus 81 años, lidera el grupo de investigadores aficionados… o no tanto.

Throughout the 20th century, the seaside service posters of Britain's railways promised fresh air and frivolity to millions of urban dwellers with the phrase: 'To the sea by train'. A staple of modern British life, the seaside getaway was intertwined with the train, in whose compartments holidaymakers were shunted from smog-choked cities to sandy coves.

A girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. 

Der Leviathan ist tot. Die Menschheit hat die globale Mission gewonnen, aber der Preis war zu hoch. Japan liegt in Trümmern, Honshu steht teilweise unter Wasser, und die Hauptstadt ist zerstört.

Ivan Susanin begibt sich im Rahmen einer Expedition in das überflutete Tokio, um den vermissten Raben zu finden, die Zivilisten zu evakuieren und so viele Monster wie möglich zu töten. Und das ist nur die Oberfläche.

Lukas Aguilar used to think he knew everything. Mainly because he believed only what he could prove for himself. No gods, fate, or any such nonsense for him. But that seems like a lifetime ago. Because when an earthquake destroyed his earthly home, he suddenly found himself in a dark dungeon world where gods and monsters are all too real—and supreme goddess Inanna had taken up residence in his mind. Upon learning the rules of his new existence—levels, skills, abilities—Lukas fought his way from victory to victory. That is, until he came up against an anomaly that got him killed.

Imagine a tiny island far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Scotland. On some days, you can hardly see where the sea ends and the land begins, just a blue-grey mist of sea spray and wind-blown sand. There is nothing but ocean between there and America. And about 65 kilometres out to sea, one last remote outcrop of islands and sea stacks, with the highest sea cliffs anywhere in the UK - St Kilda - the islands at the edge of the world.

Janoschs zweite Geschichte vom kleinen Bären und kleinen Tiger, über die Wichtigkeit von Freundschaft. Und zwei weitere, typische Janosch-Geschichten. Einmal, als der kleine Bär wieder zum Fluss angeln ging, sagte der kleine Tiger: "Immer, wenn Du weg bist, bin ich so einsam. Schreib mir doch mal einen Brief aus der Ferne, damit ich mich freue, ja?!" "Ist gut", sagte der kleine Bär.

Tras décadas de expansión descontrolada, más personas que nunca están volviendo a la ciudad. La vida urbana densa se ha prescrito como la panacea para la crisis medioambiental y de recursos de nuestro tiempo. ¿Pero es mejor o peor para nuestra felicidad? ¿Son el metro, las aceras y las torres de apartamentos una mejora respecto a la dependencia del coche en los suburbios?

Morir es tan difícil como inevitable. También para los que sobreviven. El primer día que tuve que limpiarle el culo a mi padre, me mentí diciéndome que era igual que cuando se lo limpiaba a mi hijo: venga, Carmen, que es lo mismo; va, Carmen, que es tu padre; venga, mujer, que ese hombre te limpió el culo a ti. Me lo repetía como quien está a punto de correr para darse impulso y saltar. Es lo mismo, Carmen. Hazlo ya. Pero no. No es lo mismo. Si Pedro Simón fuera un panadero, diríamos que la masa madre de sus novelas son las relaciones familiares.

From mega-church pastor Joby Martin, an accessible yet theologically-rich look at nine miracles of Jesus and what they teach us about the miraculous power available to every believer. Miracles are impossible. They defy explanation. They can’t be real. And yet, miracles surround us every day...

In the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade-long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000-foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission.

Christopher Lee's highly-acclaimed and award-winning BBC Radio 4 history of the British Empire. Britain had the biggest empire the world has ever known. At one time a quarter of the global land mass was British. Over a third of the world was insured at Lloyds. At his coronation, more than 400...
