Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 684min

In his provocative new book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion - including faith, dogma, and revelation - leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne is responding to a national climate in which over half of Americans don't believe in evolution (and congressmen deny global warming), and warns that religious prejudices and strictures in politics, education, medicine, and social policy are on the rise. Extending the best-selling works of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, he demolishes the claims of religion to provide verifiable "truth" by subjecting those claims to the same tests we use to establish truth in science. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm - to individuals and to our planet - in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in. ungekürzt.

Then, from far-flung Alaska, another living voice reaches out, and Emily grasps at her only glimmer of hope. But she may be even less alone than she thinks. The world is in the midst of a strange and frightening transition; something that fell with the red rain is remaking Earth in its own alien image.

A Macat Analysis of Burton G. Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street: The Time-Tested Strategy for Successful Investing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min

Since it was first published in 1973, A Random Walk Down Wall Street has been a highly influential best seller. Burton G. Malkiel demolishes the idea that investment "experts" can predict stock price changes and thereby "beat the market." With all available information that could affect the value of a company's shares known almost instantly to all investors, Malkiel says, shares quickly find the price that reflects that information. This is known as the efficient market hypothesis. So what should investors do? Because on average, stock market prices have always risen in the long term, Malkiel recommends buying a broad range of stocks to reflect the market price level as a whole - investing in an index fund, which does just that - and holding on to them. Two main challenges have been leveled against Malkiel's ideas. First, a few famous investors (like Warren Buffet) seem to do better than the market over the long term, against Malkiel's predictions. Second, the 2007-9 financial crisis was caused by securities based on the subprime housing market that were wildly overpriced - which again seems to contradict Malkiel's theory. His answer? The theory was still right in the long term. Prices of those securities did collapse. It just took a few years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.

Dead Reckoning: The Untold Story of the Northwest Passage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 668min

With this book - his most ambitious yet - Ken McGoogan delivers a vivid, comprehensive recasting of Arctic-exploration history. Dead Reckoning challenges the conventional narrative, which emerged out of Victorian England and focused almost exclusively on Royal Navy officers. By integrating non-British and fur-trade explorers and, above all, Canada's indigenous peoples, this work brings the story of Arctic discovery into the 21st century. Orthodox history celebrates such naval figures as John Franklin, Edward Parry and James Clark Ross. Dead Reckoning tells their stories, but the book also encompasses such forgotten heroes as Thanadelthur, Akaitcho, Tattanoeuck, Ouligbuck, Tookoolito and Ebierbing, to name just a few. Without the assistance of the Inuit, Franklin's recently discovered ships, Erebus and Terror, would still be lying undiscovered at the bottom of the polar sea.The book ranges from the 16th century to the present day, looks at climate change and the politics of the Northwest Passage, and recognizes the cultural diversity of a centuries-old quest. Informed by the author's own voyages and researches in the Arctic, Dead Reckoning is a colourful, multi-dimensional saga that demolishes myths, exposes pretenders and celebrates unsung heroes. For international listeners, it sets out a new story of Arctic discovery. For Canadians, it brings that story home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Godfrey.
