Snifter of Death: The Bloodstone Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
The summer of 1889 was proving to be a strange one for Detective Inspector Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner. They had a sexual pervert loose. The man didn't actually harm women but threatened them at knife point, fondling them, and ultimately stealing their stockings. Far more serious were the murders of influential men, which appeared random other than they were all killed by arsenic poison. Never had he and his partner had cases with so little workable evidence. Also, the rivalry between him and his detective nemesis at London's other police department was intensifying. That nemesis was the boxing champion of their department and looking to challenge Rudyard, who never trained as a boxer. Besides Rudyard's pride being at stake, and the pride of his station, his nemesis also had in his possession a scandalous photograph of the woman Rudyard cares very much for. The new lady in Rudyard's life had captured his heart and he'd fight the devil himself to save her reputation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nancy Bober.

Bound to the Fire: How Virginia's Enslaved Cooks Helped Invent American Cuisine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
Kelley Fanto Deetz draws upon archaeological evidence, cookbooks, plantation records, and folklore to present a nuanced study of the lives of enslaved plantation cooks from colonial times through emancipation and beyond. She reveals how these men and women were literally "bound to the fire" as they lived and worked in the sweltering, and often fetid, conditions of plantation house kitchens. These highly skilled cooks drew upon skills and ingredients brought with them from their African homelands to create complex, labor-intensive dishes such as oyster stew, gumbo, and fried fish. However, their white owners overwhelmingly received the credit for their creations. Focusing on enslaved cooks at Virginia plantations including Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and George Washington's Mount Vernon, Deetz restores these forgotten figures to their rightful place in American and Southern history. "A lively and insightful account of a still-largely-unfamiliar aspect of the history of American slavery." (Publishers Weekly)"A great service of expanding the literature connecting African and African American foodways with those with which we are familiar." (H-Net Reviews)"A fascinating account, illustrative of the invisibility of individuals whose work was central to the public performance of plantation culture." (Choice) ungekürzt. Language: English.

Digging the Past: How and Why to Imagine Seventeenth-Century Agriculture : Haney Foundation Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
A detailed study of 17th-century farming practices and their relevance for today.We are today grappling with the consequences of disastrous changes in our farming and food systems. While the problems we face have reached a crisis point, their roots are deep. Even in the 17th century, Frances E. Dolan contends, some writers and thinkers voiced their reservations, both moral and environmental, about a philosophy of improvement that rationalized massive changes in land use, farming methods, and food production. Despite these reservations, the 17th century was a watershed in the formation of practices that would lead toward the industrialization of agriculture. But it was also a period of robust and inventive experimentation in what we now think of as alternative agriculture. This book approaches the 17th century, in its failed proposals and successful ventures, as a resource for imagining the future of agriculture in fruitful ways. It invites both specialists and nonspecialists to see and appreciate the period from the ground up.Building on and connecting histories of food and work, literary criticism of the pastoral and georgic, histories of elite and vernacular science, and histories of reading and writing practices, among other areas of inquiry, Digging the Past offers fine-grained case studies of projects heralded as innovations both in the 17th century and in our own time: composting and soil amendment, local food, natural wine, and hedgerows.

Company-Wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy: Survive & Thrive on Disruption , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Today, companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be agile. Lack of an overarching theory about how to expand the "Agile Manifesto" has led to many fragmented attempts to apply Agile company-wide. Enjoy insights in the book shared by Jez Humble, Diana Larsen, James Shore, Johanna Rothman, and Bjarte Bogsnes. Find out what Spotify, ING, Ericsson, and Walmart say in the book. Notice, how they emphasize that doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible Agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company. Many experts are looking into implementing company-wide Agility. Yet, they work from one perspective. For example:A Beyond Budgeting expert might say, “Stop fixing the budget annually, because otherwise, you won't have the flexibility to react to frequent market changes.”An Open Space expert might say, “You need to make space for what you don’t know and can’t control, for totally new things to emerge. If people can follow their passion, you will be able to implement company-wide Agility, otherwise people will just do what they are asked.”A Sociocracy expert might say, “You first need to resolve the power structure, because as long as you have a hierarchy defined as top-down you will not become agile.”An Agile expert might say, “You need to start inspecting and adapting by using regular retrospectives in order to react flexibly, otherwise you will neither be able to learn from the market nor from within your company.” All of these perspectives are true, but the perspective is always from within the discipline. Our new perspective synthesizes these approaches and invites you to take a new, overview perspective that can truly address the challenges of doing business in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. ungekürzt.

Wien vor der Nacht
Der französische Autor und Dokumentarfilmer Robert Bober ist seinem Urgrossvater nie begegnet. Wolf Leib Fränkel, geboren 1853, jüdischer Leuchtenmacher und -anzünder, ging 1904 fort aus seinem polnischen Heimatdorf und liess sich nach einer verhinderten Auswanderung in die USA in der Wiener Leopoldstadt als Blechschmied nieder. Über ein Jahrhundert später begibt sich Bober dort auf Spurensuche: nach Erinnerungen an den Urgrossvater, die nicht seine eigenen sind, und nach dem Kind an der Hand de- Shop: odax
