The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 817min
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction When three-month-old Lia Lee arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover. Lia's parents, Foua and Nao Kao, were part of a large Hmong community in Merced, refugees from the CIA-run "Quiet War" in Laos. The Hmong, traditionally a close-knit people, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. When Lia Lee entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication. Parents and doctors both wanted the best for Lia, but their ideas about the causes of her illness and its treatment could hardly have been more different. The Hmong see illness and healing as spiritual matters linked to virtually everything in the universe while medical community marks a division between body and soul and concerns itself almost exclusively with the former. Lia's doctors ascribed her seizures to the misfiring of her cerebral neurons; her parents called her illness qaug dab peg - the spirit catches you and you fall down - and ascribed it to the wandering of her soul. The doctors prescribed anticonvulsants; her parents preferred animal sacrifices. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pamela Xiong.

The Lady's Command: The Adventurers Quartet, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
How does marriage work? If convention is set aside and is no longer there to guide...what then? The instant Captain Declan Frobisher lays eyes on Lady Edwina Delbraith, he knows she's the woman he wants as his wife. The scion of a seafaring dynasty accustomed to success, he discovers that wooing Edwina is surprisingly straightforward - not least because she makes it plain that she wants him as much as he wants her. Declan's vision of marriage is of a gently reared wife to grace his arm, manage his household, and bear his children. He assumes that the household, children, and wife will remain safely in England while he continues his life as an explorer sailing the high seas, and he gets his wish - up to a point. He and Edwina are wed, but the rest of his vision doesn't turn out the way he expected. Even before the knot is tied, Edwina shatters the illusion that her character is as delicate, ethereal, and fragile as her appearance suggests. Far from adhering to orthodox mores, she and her ducal family are even more unconventional than the Frobishers. Beneath her fairy-princess exterior, Edwina possesses a spine of steel - one that might bend but will never break. So mere weeks into their honeymoon, when Declan is required to sail to West Africa, Edwina knows she must accompany him. A secret mission with unknown villains flings unexpected dangers into their path as Declan and Edwina discover that making an unconventional marriage work requires something they both possess: bold and adventurous hearts. ungekürzt.

The Five Brothers: Our Journeys to Successful Careers in Law & Medicine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 145min
The Five Brothers: Our Journeys to Successful Careers in Law & Medicine chronicles the lives of five African American men pursuing and conquering their educational and professional goals. "When you're talking, you're preaching, when you're doing, you're teaching" is a saying that simply means it is easier to get the attention of others when you are actually putting your words into action. Phillip Bazemore, JD, F. Travis Buchanan, Esq., Neville F. Campbell, MD, MBA, Judge Carlos E. Moore, and Charles Tucker Jr., Esq., set lasting and practical examples of where hard work, determination, and faith can lead. As they go from boys to men, their compelling stories will inspire, encourage, and empower listeners no matter the age or career path. Related not by blood but by bond, the five brothers are fiercely determined to make a difference in the lives of others, adhering to their twist to the golden rule and doing what they wish others had done for them. Their memoir is a refreshing reminder that no matter what we achieve in life, the most important thing we can do is remember those who are coming behind us. These five champions demonstrate that sports and entertainment are not the only avenues to success for Black males, and as mentors, husbands, advocates, brothers, community leaders, sons, and men of faith, they share their experiences with the kind of honesty and transparency that leaves us with doses of joy and hope in a time where not enough of these things exist. ungekürzt.

The Due Diligence Handbook for Commercial Real Estate: A Proven System to Save Time, Money, Headaches and Create Value When Buying Commercial Real Estate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
There’s a HUGE problem in the commercial real estate business that nobody is talking about - DUE DILIGENCE. Investors are leaving big money on the table by not learning these essential principles. Most investors, real estate brokers, and commercial real estate professionals barely scratch the surface conducting their due diligence. Mainly because "they don't know what they don't know". I’ve spent more than 30 years helping investors buy and sell more than 9 million square feet of properties and witnessed the practices of professional and small investors. It wasn’t until I became an acquisition executive and learned some humiliating and expensive lessons that “I didn’t know what I didn’t know”. This is a number one best seller in commercial real estate books on Amazon. It is an easy-to-follow, proven step-by-step system that investors and real estate professionals use regularly as they’re conducting due diligence. It will help you make informed, intelligent decisions when deciding whether to buy or NOT to buy. Adhering to a proven system allows you to conduct due diligence faster, easier, more efficiently, and you’re less likely to miss something. Here are just a few of the lessons you’ll learn: Negotiating the purchase and sale agreement and what you MUST include in order to maximize your opportunities to negotiate further with the seller. (Super important to know.) Reviewing the leases. Not knowing what provisions to watch for could cost you dearly once you own it. (Don't leave it all to chance to work out!) Uncovering hidden problems and issues. (Sellers will NOT disclose these, so you need to know where to look for them. They will not hand you a list of problems about the property.) ungekürzt.

The Company Town: The Industrial Edens and Satanic Mills that Shaped the American Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
Company town: The very phrase sounds un-American. Yet company towns are the essence of America. Hershey bars, Corning glassware, Kohler bathroom fixtures, Maytag washers, Spam... each is the signature product of a company town in which one business, for better or worse, exercises a grip over the population. In The Company Town, Hardy Green, who has covered American business for over a decade, offers a compelling analysis of the emergence of these communities and their role in shaping the American economy, beginning in the country's earliest years. From the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, to the R&D labs of Corning, New York; from the coal mines of Ludlow, Colorado, to corporate campuses of todays major tech companies, America has been uniquely open to the development of the single-company community. But rather than adhering to a uniform blueprint, American company towns represent two very different strands of capitalism. One is socially benign - a paternalistic, utopian ideal that fosters the development of schools, hospitals, parks, and desirable housing for its workers. The other, Exploitationville, focuses only on profits, at the expense of employees well-being. Adeptly distinguishing between these two models, Green offers rich stories about town-builders and workers. He vividly describes the origins of Americas company towns, the living and working conditions that characterize them, and the violent, sometimes fatal, labor confrontations that have punctuated their existence. And he chronicles the surprising transformation underway in many such communities today. With fascinating profiles of American moguls, The Company Town is a sweeping tale of how the American economy has grown and changed, and how these urban centers have reflected the best and worst of American capitalism. ungekürzt.
