Chrysler Building (Metal Earth #MMS009) Daten des Originals: Baujahr: 1928 - 1930 - Höhe: 319 m - 77 Stockwerke - Herkunftsland: USA 405 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10174, Vereinigte Staaten Mit einer Höhe von 310 Metern war das Chrysler Buildung in den Jahren 1930/ 31 für 11 Monate das höchste Gebäude der Welt. Dann wurde es durch das Empire State Building abgelöst, das keine 700 m entfernt fast zeitgleich errichtet wurde. Dennoch hat das Chrysler Building eine festen Platz in der Skyline Manhattans gefunden. Besonders die im Art Deco Stil errichtete Spitze des Chrysler Building ist eine besonderes Wahrzeichen, das man wohl am besten von der Aussichtplattform des Konkurrenten sehen kan...

WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD Shortlisted for the Costa Biography Prize, RSL Ondaatje Prize, Banff Adventure Travel Prize and Saltire Book of the Year Award Book of the Year for the Financial Times, Sunday Herald , Scotsman A travel book pick for the Sunday Times and the National Geographic Gavin Francis spent fourteen months in one of the remotest places in the world: Halley, a research station in Antarctica. Storm-locked and frozen, it is said to be easier to evacuate a casualty from the International Space Station than it is to bring someone out of Halley in winter. In the icy emptiness of Antarctica, where one misstep outdoors can mean death but the confined corridors of Halley can drive you mad, Gavin challenges himself to thrive at the ends of the earth. In the penguin colonies, a species utterly adapted to the harsh environment, he finds community, inspiration and joy.

Ants came to this planet long before man. Since then they have developed one of the most intricate civilizations imaginable - a civilization of great richness and technological brilliance. During the few seconds it takes you to read this sentence, some 700 milli0on ants will be born on earth... Edmond Wells had studied ants for years: he knew of the power which existed in their hidden world. On his death, he leaves his apartment to his nephew Jonathan with one proviso: that he must not descend beyond the cellar door. But when the family's dog escapes down the cellar steps, Jonathan has little alternative but to follow. Innocently he enters the world of the ant, whose struggle for existence forces him to reassess man's place in the cycle of nature. It is an experience that will alter his life for ever... Empire of the Ants is an extraordinary achievement. It takes you inside the ants' universe and reveals it to be a highly organised world, as complex and relentless as human society and even more brutal.

In this magisterial book, historian Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of an extraordinary expansion of human freedom and its planetary costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Portuguese silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railroads and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against stubborn nature. Amrith's account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. So too does this book reveal the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm. The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates in gorgeous prose, and on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic-vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images-in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself.

Even as Kuvira stands trial for her crimes, vestiges of her imperial ambitions threaten to undermine the nation's democratic hopes. But when Korra, Asami, Mako, and Bolin don't all see eye-to-eye as to the solution, drastic measures will be taken to halt a new march to war!

She's supposed to be the perfect weapon. But weapons aren't supposed to love... or break. Vhalla Yarl has been conscripted into the Empire's military. She marches toward the warfront not just as a common soldier, but as the Emperor's secret weapon. Victory hinges on her mastering a rare elemental magic she barely understands. Haunted by what she's done and what she may become, Vhalla struggles to harden her heart to survive what awaits her. But that's impossible as she trains alongside the Crown Prince, Aldrik. Every stolen moment, every longing look, deepens the bond between them-both magical and the forbidden feelings neither dares name. Just as Vhalla begins to find her place in this new world of magic, combat, and royalty, a violent attack shatters everything. Driven into hiding and reeling from a devastating loss, Vhalla must decide what kind of sorcerer, and what kind of person, she's willing to become. Because to protect those she loves, she may have to become the monster the Empire wants. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Graceling, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fire Falling is the gripping second installment in the internationally bestselling Air Awakens series-filled with elemental magic, aching slow-burn romance, and a heroine finding her power. **10th Anniversary Edition** This 10 Year Anniversary edition features new interior artwork, page edge designs, character case art (hardcover only), and more! 2025 IngramSpark® Editorial Selection - Young Adult

*2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL* *2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL* "John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." -Joe Hill, author of The Fireman The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War Our universe is ruled by physics. Faster than light travel is impossible-until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars. Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war-and, for the empire's rulers, a system of control. The Flow is eternal-but it's not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. When it's discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals-a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency-must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse. "Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure" -Booklist on The Collapsing Empire "Political plotting, plenty of snark, puzzle-solving, and a healthy dose of action...Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." -Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire "Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced." -The Wall Street Journal on The Human Division The Interdependency Series 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

It has always been Eda's dream to become empress, no matter the cost. Haunted by her ambition and selfishness, she's convinced that the only way to achieve her goal is to barter with the gods. But all requests come with a price and Eda bargains away the soul of her best friend in exchange for the crown. Years later, her hold on the empire begins to crumble and her best friend unexpectedly grows sick and dies. Gnawed by guilt and betrayal, Eda embarks on a harrowing journey to confront the very god who gave her the kingdom in the first place. However, she soon discovers that he's trapped at the center of an otherworldly labyrinth and that her bargain with him is more complex than she ever could have imagined. Set in the same universe as Joanna's debut, Beneath the Haunting Sea, Beyond the Shadowed Earth combines her incredible world building and lush prose with a new, villainous lead.

Vor Tausenden von Jahren verwandelte die Asche nuklearer Feuer die Welt. Die Waffen der Massenvernichtung verloren ihre Wirkung, als sich die Gesetze der Physik veränderten. An ihre Stelle traten Elementare und Dämonen – Wesen aus den dunkelsten Träumen und Albträumen der Menschheit. Die Magie kehrte in die Welt zurück. Die Menschheit erhob sich aus der Asche und baute die Gesellschaft neu auf, während das verkommene Empire of the East mit den dämonischen Kräften des Orcus die ganze Welt zu unterwerfen begann. Nun liegt es an einer kleinen Gruppe von Widerstandskämpfern, die Freiheit für die Menschheit zurückzuerobern!

Israel’s pulverization of Gaza since October 7, 2023 is not only a humanitarian crisis, but an environmental catastrophe. Far from the first event of its kind, the devastation Israel has inflicted on Palestine since October 2023 has merely ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. In this book, Andreas Malm argues that a true understanding of the present crisis requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire. Returning to the British empire’s first use of steam-power in war, in which it destroyed the Palestinian city of Akka, Malm traces the development of Britain’s fossil empire and shows how this enduring commitment to fossil energy continues to drive Western support for the destruction of Palestine today.
