  The Little Big Number: How GDP Came to Rule the World and What to Do About It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 693min

  In one lifetime GDP, or gross domestic product, has ballooned from a narrow economic tool into a global article of faith. It is our universal yardstick of progress. As The Little Big Number demonstrates, this spells trouble. While economies and cultures measure their performance by it, GDP ignores central facts such as quality, costs, and purpose. It measures only output: more cars, more accidents; more lawyers, more trials; more extraction, more pollution - all count as success. Sustainability and quality of life are overlooked. Losses don't count. GDP promotes a form of stupid growth and ignores real development. How and why did we get to this point? Dirk Philipsen uncovers a submerged history dating back to the 1600s, climaxing with the Great Depression and World War II, when the first version of GDP arrived at the forefront of politics. Transcending ideologies and national differences, GDP was subsequently transformed from a narrow metric to the purpose of economic activity. Today, increasing GDP is the highest goal of politics. In accessible and compelling prose, Philipsen shows how it affects all of us. But the world can no longer afford GDP rule. A finite planet cannot sustain blind and indefinite expansion. If we consider future generations equal to our own, replacing the GDP regime is the ethical imperative of our times. More is not better. As Philipsen demonstrates, the history of GDP reveals unique opportunities to fashion smarter goals and measures. The Little Big Number explores a possible road map for a future that advances quality of life rather than indiscriminate growth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Larkin.

  Theogony , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min

  Hesiod's Theogony is a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods, organized as a narrative that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the cosmos. It is the first Greek mythical cosmogony. The initial state of the universe is chaos - a dark, indefinite void considered a divine primordial condition from which everything else appeared. Theogonies are a part of Greek mythology which embodies the desire to articulate reality as a whole; this universalizing impulse was fundamental for the first later projects of speculative theorizing.In many cultures, narratives about the origin of the cosmos and about the gods that shaped it are a way for society to reaffirm its native cultural traditions. Specifically, theogonies tend to affirm kingship as the natural embodiment of society. What makes the Theogony of Hesiod unique is that it affirms no historical royal line. Such a gesture would have sited the Theogony in one time and place. Rather, the Theogony affirms the kingship of the god Zeus over all the other gods and over the whole Cosmos.Further, in the "Kings and Singers" passage (80–103), Hesiod appropriates to himself the authority usually reserved to sacred kingship. The poet declares that it is he, where we might have expected some king instead, upon whom the muses have bestowed the two gifts of a scepter and an authoritative voice (Hesiod, Theogony 30-3), which are the visible signs of kingship. It is not that this gesture is meant to make Hesiod a king. Rather, the point is that the authority of kingship now belongs to the poetic voice - the voice that is declaiming the Theogony. ungekürzt.

  Power Wars: Inside Obama's Post-9/11 Presidency , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1660min

  Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage's penetrating investigation of the Obama presidency and the national security state. Barack Obama campaigned on a promise of change from George W. Bush's "global war on terror". Yet from indefinite detention and drone strikes to surveillance and military tribunals, Obama ended up continuing - and in some cases expanding - many policies he inherited. What happened? In Power Wars, Charlie Savage looks inside the Obama administration's national security legal and policy team in a way that no one has before. Based on exclusive interviews with more than 150 current and former officials and access to previously unreported documents, he lays bare their internal deliberations, including emotional debates over the fates of detainees held on torture-tainted evidence and acts of war that lacked congressional authorization. He tells the inside stories of how Obama came to order the killing of an American citizen, preside over an unprecedented crackdown on leaks, and keep a then-secret National Security Agency program that collected records of every American's phone calls. Savage also pieces together the first comprehensive history of how American surveillance secretly developed over the past 35 years, synthesizing recent revelations and filling in gaps with new reporting. And he provides lucid explanations of legal dilemmas in a way that nonlawyers can understand. Highlighted by new information about the pivotal aftermath to the failed Christmas underwear bombing and the planning for the Osama bin Laden raid, Savage's own eyewitness reporting at Guantánamo, and detailed accounts of closed-door meetings at the highest levels of government, Power Wars equips listeners to understand the legacy of Obama's presidency.

  Isle of The Immortal (eBook, ePUB)

  A land plagued in darkness. One woman who carries the weight of the sun. In her twenty-three years of life, Shailin Srijan has never ventured past the mortal confines of her remote Scottish village. Working solely as her brother's keeper and avoiding the small-town gossip of villagers, she's never thought to question the mundane reality of her existence - until her brother's condition suddenly worsens and all hope seems lost. Reeling at the thought of losing the only family she's ever known, Shailin hastily agrees to her mother's farfetched proposal: enter into the Immortal realm to face the greatly feared and equally mysterious Vampire King, who happens to owe the Srijans a life debt. The Immortal is just as enigmatic as it is ethereally alluring, and left without any other viable options, Shailin has no choice but to honor her mother's wishes and make for the magical lands. Only once there, she finds herself thrust into a dying world of indefinite darkness and legendary monsters that have taken permanent residence in a kingdom without daylight. Even more unexpected than the realm's unconventional nocturnal splendor is the presence of Axton, a masked vigilante also traveling to the ruler's castle. Though Shai knows better than to trust a man with a secret, she can't help the budding attraction that only heightens as an unlikely relationship forms between the two. Upon facing King Ezrium, Shailin will have to unravel a startling truth that upends the life she's always known and decide whether she wishes to conform or pave her own way in a world of magic and mayhem. Fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash, Danielle L. Jensen's Bridge Kingdom, and Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series will enjoy this fantasy romance novel. "Isle of The Immortal" is an adult fantasy romance that contains content suitable for readers 18+ older.

  Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Anti-Diet Programme to Develop a Healthy Relationship with Food and Stop Chronic Dieting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 232min

  You are about to learn how to start eating intuitively, step-by-step, to beat cravings, overcome mindless eating, lose weight and effectively keep it off with great ease!Eating is one of those activities that we engage in without much thought. I mean; all you need to do is to move your hand, spoon, fork or whatever else you are eating with, to your mouth, open your mouth, bite or take it all in, and repeat the process and indefinite number of times. Think about it - having done this probably millions of times by the time you are a teenager, it makes sense that our brains have actually automated this process to free its processing power so that you can focus on so many other things at the time of eating.Unfortunately, this very automation or habit supports an unhealthy habit - mindless eating, which often results to such incidences like:Eating just to clear your plate, even when you are fullEating just because there is food or it is time to eatNot knowing how much food you’ve actually eatenEating anything with complete disregard as to whether it is healthy or notFinishing eating huge amounts of food without realizing itNot remembering foods you ate during the day and hence don’t count those as caloriesAnd moreIf these things sound familiar, you need a change of approach to eating - to go back to the old ways of eating when you could be consciously aware of everything about the food, the sensations going on in your body, the impact of the food on your body, your environment, and much more. In simple terms, you need to adopt intuitive eating if you are to reverse the negative effects that mindless eating has brought to you like being overweight, diabetes, having uncontrollable cravings, and other lifestyle problems that relate to diet.So how exactly do you go about learning how to eat intuitively?Where do you even start?How do you unde ungekürzt.
