Two superpowers are in a race to recover and exploit alien technology. To compete with the rumored Russian retrieval of an alien spacecraft found deep in Siberia's Lake Baikal, the U.S. government orders two Navy saturation divers to risk everything to help salvage a spacecraft that may not even exist. It is up to Jason Parker to make sure the divers return safely from the deepest man-dive ever, but he cannot guarantee mission success. That is up to luck, and the bravado and heroism of the Navy divers. The thriller Middle Waters was the beginning saga for diving scientist Jason Parker and Oceanographer Laura Smith. In Triangle, Russian submarines monitor diving preparations off the U.S. Gulf Coast, then attempt to sabotage the U.S. effort. What started as Russian curiosity, morphs into a deadly threat. To make matters worse, both the U.S. and Russia are targeting Parker and Smith for elimination, if the governments don't get their way. As a result, Parker and Smith must struggle to survive at all odds, while trying to maintain world peace. With the Presidents of both the U.S. and Russia vying for supremacy, and the American President's own staff warning of potential catastrophes, the balance of world power, and even world survival, may rest on a liaison between Parker, Smith and two mysterious men with most peculiar powers. One is a blind remote viewer, and the other is a Troll named Truman. The world will never be the same again.

"John Clarke writes beautifully about the natural world, about marshes, orchards, blackbirds, deer, a one-footed pheasant, or the arrival of ''first snow / tapping its small canes.'' His poems, like the country night sky to which he often calls our attention, glitter with fine detail, are compact and tightly tuned with a Zen-like clarity of line. GOOD LONELY DAY is essentially about watching that leads to seeing, about inner and outer weather. Clarke''s poems register both the small and immense changes that seasons, days, and hours bring; they are a source of beauty and wisdom that invite a reader to return"—Peter Makuck.

In this engaging and original book, John Clarke is in conversation with twelve leading individual scholars about the dynamics of critical thinking in the social sciences, and he reflects on the necessity of thinking collaboratively and dialogically.

Dieses Hörbuch lässt Alltag und Erlebnisse von Bewohnern des Römischen Reiches lebendig werden – nicht nur die der „oberen Zehntausend" wie Kaiser und Senatoren, sondern auch die der einfachen Bürger, der Freigelassenen, Händler und Sklaven. John R. Clarke nimmt den Hörer mit auf einen Gang durch den römischen Alltag. Er begleitet Menschen, die vor etwa 2000 Jahren in Rom, Pompeii und Ostia lebten und arbeiteten. Das Hörbuch – und damit der Hörer – folgt ihren Spuren, während sie den Göttern opfern, zur Arbeit gehen, sich im Thea-ter ein Stück ansehen, auf einen Becher in einer Eckkneipe vorbeischauen, die Bäder in ihrem Stadtteil besuchen, ein Abendessen mit Gästen planen oder auch ihren besten Freund beiset-zen.
