Dämonicon, Sohn des Imperos, erlangt seine frühere Gestalt zurück, womit jedoch das Gleichgewicht der Magie arg erschüttert wird. Als Sohn des höchsten Dämonenfürsten verfügt er über die schwarzen Mächte der Magie, seine Kräfte wachsen und er schickt seine Diener - genannt "Das Auge des Zyklopen" - aus, um eine heilige Tafel zu stehlen. Doch der Kobold Vinus hat die Erschütterung der Magie gespürt und will den heiligen Becher des Schöpfers mit der heiligen Tafel zusammenbringen. Er muss schnell handeln, denn die furchtbare Macht des Dämonicon nimmt mit jedem Tag zu. Wird er es schaffen, mit der Hilfe seiner Freunde, den Kampf zu bestehen? Im vierten Band der Reihe "Die Abenteuer der Koboldbande" führt Jork Steffen Negelen seine Leser stetig tiefer in eine Welt voller Magie und Abenteuer. (2. überarb. Auflage)
In 1942, with a black-market chicken tucked under his arm by his mother, Leo Marks left his father's famous bookshop, 84 Charing Cross Road, and went off to fight the war. He was twenty-two. Soon recognized as a cryptographer of genius, he became head of communications at the Special Operations Executive (SOE), where he revolutionized the codemaking techniques of the Allies and trained some of the most famous agents dropped into occupied Europe. As a top codemaker, Marks had a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating and, until now, little-known aspects of the Second World War. This stunning memoir, often funny, always gripping and acutely sensitive to the human cost of each operati...
Analogy is the core of all thinking. This is the simple but unorthodox premise that Pulitzer Prize -- winning author Douglas Hofstadter and French psychologist Emmanuel Sander defend in their new work. Hofstadter has been grappling with the mysteries of human thought for over thirty years.

How does it do so? The ceaseless hail of input triggers analog...

The study examines the evolution and linguistic history of some 165 Italian terms for different vines and wines. Proceeding on the assumption that the culture-historical significance of wines and vines is only poorly reflected both in the vocabulary of standard Italian and of many Italian dialects, the author draws on a broad variety of sources to substantiate the existence of these proper names as far back as the 12th century and proceeds contextually in proposing etymologies hitherto either unknown or considered uncertain. The description of the historical development of these terms demonstrates that a number of proper names is still restricted to specific idioms and that it is both necessary and desirable for this sub-lexicon to be integrated more firmly if this legacy is not to be lost for good in the medium term. The corpus the study is based on is also designed as an encouragement and potential basis for a comprehensive description of wine and vine names in Italian.

Elena - the bar girl who became an empress and transformed an empire __________________________________________________ HIStory - or should it be HERstory? As is the case in some societies today, for the fi rst 300 years of the Roman Empire, women were the possessions of men. Many women resisted, some dying horribly rather than obeying orders to marry men chosen for them. HIStory barely mentions them. Another example of HIStory is the conversion of the Roman Empire from pagan to Christian by Constantine the Great. He issued the decrees. But: - his early coins have the Unvanquished Sun as their religious symbol, - his victory arch in Rome bears pagan symbols.. - he was ruthless in destroying ...
