Scientists up Tally of Deep-Sea Vents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 4min
The deep, dark ocean bottom teems with far more oases of life than once thought. Searching along the sunless seafloor where tectonic plates pull apart - regions known as spreading ridges - researchers discovered that heat-spewing hydrothermal vents are at least three to six times as abundant as previously estimated. The finding also boosts the likely number of marine ecosystems huddled around vents."Scientists up Tally of Deep-Sea Vents" is from the July 23, 2016 issue of Science News. ungekürzt.

Into the Labyrinth: The Making of a Modern-Day Theseus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 846min
Project Spinnaker was a joint Canada-US defense project conceived in the waning days of the Cold War. Spinnaker’s secret purpose was to reassert Canada’s Arctic sovereignty by providing the capability to monitor submarine traffic in Canadian Arctic waters. The star of Project Spinnaker was Theseus - a massive, Canadian-made, autonomous underwater vehicle designed for a single purpose: laying fiber-optic cable in ice-covered waters. More than 2,500 years after the mythical Greek hero Theseus ventured into the labyrinth on the island of Crete to slay the Minotaur, the submarine Theseus was launched into an undersea labyrinth with a strikingly similar goal: lay nearly 200 kilometers of fiber-optic cable on the seafloor of Canada’s Arctic, then turn around and follow it back out.With a foreword by Dr. James R. McFarlane, OC, CD, P.Eng., FCAE, and endorsements by several well-known experts in the sub-sea industry, Into the Labyrinth provides a fascinating glimpse into the sub-sea industry of the 1980s and ‘90s set against the backdrop of Canada’s stunning yet hostile High Arctic. ungekürzt.

72 Hours , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
5 August 2005. While conducting a secret mission thirty miles off the remote cost of Kamchatka, the Russian Navy submarine AS-28 became snared in the thick cables anchored to 60-tonne concrete blocks. Without power the stricken boat sunk to the seafloor. Trapped too deep to escape her crew now had just seventy two hours before the air onboard ran out. Twenty-four hours later - still haunted by the loss of the Kursk - the Russian Navy requested assistance. And on their side of the world, Commander Ian Riches, Boss of the Royal Navy's Submarine rescue team got the call: there was a sub down. With their expertise and specialist equipment, he knew his team had a chance to save the men, but Kamchatka was at the very limit of their range. And the clock was ticking. 72 Hours tells the story of an extraordinary, edge-of-the-seat real-life drama. It's the gripping, inside story of one of the most dramatic rescue attempts of recent years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Barrett.

Squid Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Cephalopods , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
Before there were mammals on land, there were dinosaurs. And before there were fish in the sea, there were cephalopods - the ancestors of modern squid and Earth's first truly substantial animals. Cephalopods became the first creatures to rise from the seafloor, essentially inventing the act of swimming. With dozens of tentacles and formidable shells, they presided over an undersea empire for millions of years. But when fish evolved jaws, the ocean's former top predator became its most delicious snack. Cephalopods had to step up their game. Many species streamlined their shells and added defensive spines, but these enhancements only provided a brief advantage. Some cephalopods then abandoned the shell entirely, which opened the gates to a flood of evolutionary innovations: masterful camouflage, fin-supplemented jet propulsion, perhaps even dolphin-like intelligence. Squid Empire is an epic adventure spanning hundreds of millions of years, from the marine life of the primordial ocean to the calamari on tonight's menu. Anyone who enjoys the undersea world - along with all those obsessed with things prehistoric - will be interested in the sometimes enormous, often bizarre creatures that ruled the seas long before the first dinosaurs. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Durante. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/010770/bk_tant_010770_sample.mp3.

What Lies in the Sea: What Lies Adventure Mystery, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min
The year was 1715. A Treasure Fleet comprised of 11 Spanish ships and one French vessel was blown onto the reefs off of the east-central coast of Florida by a massive hurricane. Eleven of the 12 vessels were dismasted, broken like kindling, and sent to the seafloor in less than 20 feet of water. Fast-forward to 1973; Captain Henderson and his mate, Butch Dawson, while on a dreadful nighttime run to the reef, inadvertently locate some well-preserved ribs of a 16th-century vessel off the coast of Cape Canaveral. Between those heavy wooden beams lay a king's fortune. The trouble for Henderson and Dawson began immediately and the treasure recovery had to wait - for 45 more years. Leap ahead to current day; Josh Baker, Giselle O’Connor, and Eddie Debord are rolling south in Eddie's fully restored VW Bus. After repairing a small issue with an accelerator cable, they met a young man with a story - a story from 1973. A tale of treasure made credible by his possession of a single gold Spanish Escudo left for him by his grandfather. The action begins and never stops in this fast-paced land and sea treasure-hunt adventure. The friends are relentlessly pursued by a couple of blundering criminals as well as the casino-controlling Florida Mafia, which wants a piece of their action as well. Josh, Eddie, and their new friends can seemingly never catch a break as they try to help locate and recover the lost cargo they have signed rights to excavate…but as always, it seems others don’t play by the rules! “Once again, be careful wishing for big adventures.... One may find you!” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Cunningham. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/221326/bk_acx0_221326_sample.mp3.
