Frederick Law Olmsted is arguably the most important historical figure that the average American knows the least about. Best remembered for his landscape architecture, from New York's Central Park to Boston's Emerald Necklace to Stanford University's campus, Olmsted was also an influential journalist, early voice for the environment, and abolitionist credited with helping dissuade England from joining the South in the Civil War. This momentous career was shadowed by a tragic personal life, also fully portrayed here.

Der Prolog ist der Auftakt einer Publikationsreihe von Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer und seinem Architekturstudio caspar: Der Nachhalt. Der Architekt Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer gesteht sich ein, dass er angesichts der eskalierenden Klimakrise seine Haltung überdenken - oder auch erst wirklich entwickeln muss!

A hundred years ago, a team of archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings made a remarkable discovery: a near-complete royal burial, an ancient mummy and golden riches beyond imagination. The lost tomb of Tutankhamun ignited a media frenzy, propelled into overdrive by rumours of a deadly ancient curse. But amid the hysteria, many stories—including that of Tutankhamun himself—were distorted or forgotten. Tutankhamun: Pharaoh, Icon, Enigma takes a familiar tale and turns on its head.

A self-professed "comprehensive anticipatory design scientist", the inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was undoubtedly a visionary. Fuller's creations often bordered on the realm of science fiction, ranging from the freestanding geodesic dome to the three-wheel Dymaxion car to a bathroom requiring neither plumbing nor sewage. Yet in spite of his brilliant mind and lifelong devotion to serving mankind, Fuller's expansive ideas were often dismissed, and have faded from public memory since his death.

La memoria nasce con la civiltà, e così la sua conservazione. Non a caso la storia narrata in questo audiolibro parte da Assurbanipal e arriva fino a oggi. L'atto del conservare non è mai neutrale: già il re assiro faceva della sua biblioteca un segno e uno strumento di potere. Ancora meno neutrale è l'atto del distruggere: i roghi nazisti di libri ne sono l'esempio più tristemente celebre. Ma c'è un altro modo, meno plateale, per cancellare un patrimonio: non prendersene adeguata cura.
