Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fleeing from the monstrous Honored Matres - dark counterparts of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood - Duncan Idaho, the military genius Bashar Miles Teg, a woman named Sheeana who can talk to sandworms, and a group of desperate refugees explore the boundaries of the universe. Aboard their sophisticated no-ship, they have used long-stored cells to resurrect heroes and villains from the past, including Paul Muad'Dib, in preparation for a final confrontation with a mysterious outside Enemy so great it can destroy even the terrible Honored Matres. And, deep in the hold of their giant ship, the refugees carry the last surviving sandworms from devastated Arrakis, as they search the universe for a new Dune.'Frank Herbert would surely be delighted and proud of this continuation of his vision.' Dean Koontz.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Dialogform erörtert das Buch die Erfahrung des Lebens, des Sterbens, des Todes und die Expeditionen der Seele danach. Quantenphysik und Wahrnehmungstheorie integriert Walsch ebenso wie buddhistische und andere Weisheitslehren, und was er über die Reise der Seele berichtet, ist im zweifachen Sinne erhellend: Es ist klar, plausibel und lässt unsere Existenz in einem freundlichen, hellen Licht leuchten. In drei Schritten der Re-Identifikation , so wird ausgeführt, erfahren wir den so genannten Tod. Im ersten Stadium erleben wir die Trennung vom Körper, verbunden mit der Überraschung, dass das Leben weitergeht und unser Wesenskern nicht mit dem Körper identisch ist. Im zweiten Stadium erleben wir, was wir glauben bzw. erwarten: Hölle, Himmel, Ungewissheit, das Nichts, Erinnerungen an vergangene Leben etc. Das dritte Stadium bringt die Verschmelzung mit der Essenz. Die Identifikation mit der Seele löst sich. Auf diese Erfahrung der Einheit folgt eine nächste Inkarnation. Dieses westliche Totenbuch ist Walschs letztes Buch im beliebten Dialogstil. Eine großartige Synthese der universellen Vorstellungen vom zyklischen Werden und Vergehen! Jeder will wissen, was nach dem Tod passiert. Für die Leser von Kübler-Ross, Moody und die Millionen Walsch-Fans. Walschs große Lesergemeinde wartet seit Jahren auf sein Vermächtnis zum Thema Leben, Tod und Wiedergeburt.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Guy Grieve's life was going nowhere - trapped in a job he hated, commuting 2,000 miles a month and up to his neck in debt. But he dreamed of escaping it all to live alone in one of the wildest, most remote places on earth - Alaska. And just when he'd given up hope, the dream came true. Suddenly Guy was thrown into one of the harshest environments in the world, miles from the nearest human being and armed with only the most basic equipment. And he soon found - whether building a log cabin from scratch, hunting, ice fishing or of course dodging bears in the buff - that life in the wilderness was anything but easy.Part Ray Mears, part Bill Bryson, CALL OF THE WILD is the gripping story of how a mild-mannered commuter struggled with the elements - and himself - and eventually learned the ways of the wild.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recognised as 'The first truly definitive English-language study of this myth-laden subject and a pleasure to read' (Sunday Times) COSA NOSTRA is the compelling story of the Sicilian mafia, the world's most famous, most secretive and most misunderstood criminal fraternity.The mafia has been given many names since it was founded one hundred and forty years ago: the Sect, the Brotherhood, the Honoured Society, and now Cosa Nostra. Yet as times have changed, the mafia's subtle and bloody methods have remained the same. Now, for the first time, COSA NOSTRA reconstructs the complete history of the Sicilian mafia from its origins to the present day, from the lemon groves and sulphur mines of Sicily, to the streets of Manhattan.Described by Andrew Marr as 'Monumental and gripping' COSA NOSTRA is a history rich in atmosphere with the narrative pace of the best detective fiction, and hailed in Italy as the best book ever written about the mafia.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The clouds are nature's poetry, and the most egalitarian of her displays, since everyone has an equally fantastic view of them. Clouds are for dreamers, and their contemplation benefits the soul. Yet their beauty is so everyday as to be in danger of being overlooked .'Gavin Pretor Pinney is the chairman and founder member of the Cloud Appreciation Society. He contends that we are blessed in this country with a uniquely rich and varied cloudscape, which has hitherto been sadly undervalued. His book teaches us to appreciate their different varieties - the cumulus, nimbostratus and Morning Glory to name only a few - and all their beauties and significances, both meteorological and cultural. We learn how Hindus believed the cumulus clouds were the spiritual cousins of elephants, how thermal air currents act on fair weather cumuli, and how to save a fortune in psychiatric bills by using the clouds as Rorschach images that reflect our state of mind as well as nature's moods.Looking up will never be the same again.
