    Essays on the Financial Crisis: Systemic Greed and Arrogant Stupidity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    The financial crisis that peaked in the United States during the fall of 2008 is an excellent case study of what can go wrong with leadership and corporate governance - in business, financial ethics, government regulation directed both at the firm level and at that of the financial system itself, and legal accountability for the culprits. The collection begins with a series of essays on Lehman Brothers, with particular attention to its last CEO, Richard Fuld. Given the fraud surrounding sub-prime mortgage bonds at numerous banks, the second part of the collection looks at why legal accountability was so elusive in the United States. Weaknesses in the financial regulation, with particular attention to whether agencies had been captured by their respective regulated firms, comprises the third part. The fourth part examines the culpability of the Federal Reserve Bank, which had perhaps been too close to its regulated banks to anticipate the crisis. The audiobook concludes with essays on why business ethics had been so very weak. The careful listener will take from the collection a sense that the financial system remained vulnerable even after government attempts to reduce the systemic risks of a big bank going under. ungekürzt.

    That Fiend in Hell: Soapy Smith in Legend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    As the Klondike gold rush peaked in spring 1898, adventurers and gamblers rubbed shoulders with town-builders and gold-panners in Skagway, Alaska. The flow of riches lured confidence men, too - among them Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith (1860 - 98), who with an entourage of "bunco-men" conned and robbed the stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the "uncrowned king of Skagway", remembered for his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July was celebrated in '98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was dead, killed in a shootout over a card game. Soapy Smith in Legend is a tour de force of historical debunking that documents Smith's elevation to western hero. Tracking down some 100 retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude traces the efforts of Skagway's boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith's death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway's economic interests. Spude's engaging deconstruction of Soapy's story models deep research and skepticism crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Wobbly Life: IWW Organizer E. F. Doree , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min
    Early in the 20th century, the Wobblies, or Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), fought for the rights of workers-common laborers, migrants, immigrants, black workers-unprotected by the craft unions. In the face of beatings, kidnappings, and lynchings by vigilantes, company detectives, and hired guns, the Wobblies organized in mining and lumber camps, the wheat fields, on docksides and in textile factories. A meteoric career from its beginnings in 1906, the IWW arose with free speech fights, peaked with a membership of over 100,000 workers in 1917, and was devastated in 1918 by the imprisonment of its leadership for violations of wartime legislation. A Wobbly Life helps to set the record straight on the Wobblies during this period of labor history. A key IWW organizer, union head, writer, and defense committee officer, E. F. Doree experienced all of this first-hand. Seventy-six years after his death, his daughter tells his story through the private letters he wrote, from 1918 to 1922, as one of over 100 Wobblies imprisoned in Leavenworth Penitentiary. They depict prison life, the comradeship and schisms within the ranks of political prisoners, and the role of civil libertarians - especially the Quakers - in seeking their release. The book is published by Wayne State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gloria Mason Martin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/036596/bk_acx0_036596_sample.mp3.

    Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen: 4th Doctor Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
    An unabridged reading of the brand-new novel based on a storyline by Douglas Adams. The Doctor promised Romana the end of the universe, so she's less than impressed when what she gets is a cricket match. But then the award ceremony is interrupted by 11 figures in white uniforms and peaked skull helmets wielding bat-shaped weapons that fire lethal bolts of light into the screaming crowd. The Krikkitmen are back. Millions of years ago, the people of Krikkit learned they were not alone in the universe and promptly launched a xenophobic crusade to wipe out all other lifeforms. After a long and bloody conflict, the Time Lords imprisoned Krikkit within an envelope of Slow Time, a prison that could be opened only with the Wicket Gate key, a device that resembles - to human eyes, at least - an oversized set of cricket stumps.... From Earth to Gallifrey, from Bethselamin to Devalin, from Krikkit to Mareeve II to the far edge of infinity, the Doctor and Romana are tugged into a pan-galactic conga with fate as they rush to stop the Krikkitmen gaining all five pieces of the key. If they fail, the entire cosmos faces a fiery retribution that will leave nothing but ashes.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Starkey.

    Individual Football Training Program: Improve Your Game! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    All football players could improve. You could be the best player on the team and you could still get better. Whether you're playing at the amateur, professional level, or semi-professional level, there is always room to get better. One of the great things about sports, in general, is that people will always have new goals to strive for, and they never have to feel like they've finally peaked. There will always be new peaks to climb, and there is something that will always be exciting about that.  If you want to improve your game, the right football training drills could make all the difference in the world. Soccer training exercises can help all soccer players get better, even if they have done those drills a million times previously. A lot of football playing is basically repetition and reinforcement.  It's important to remember that football is not something that people should try to learn academically. Obviously, reading about it will help. Watching other people perform football training tutorials will certainly be useful for everyone involved. However, ultimately, football training drills need to be practiced in person. The people who spend a lot of time on football training drills will find it that much easier to ultimately get ahead with the game.   Get this audiobook today and improve your game fast! ungekürzt.

    In Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie Idea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    Danny Goldberg's new book is a subjective history of 1967, the year he graduated from high school. It is, he writes in the introduction, "an attempt at trying to remember the culture that mesmerized me, to visit the places and conversations I was not cool enough to have been a part of." It is also a refreshing and new analysis of the era; by looking at not only the political causes, but also the spiritual, musical, and psychedelic movements, Goldberg provides a unique perspective on how and why the legacy of 1967 lives on today. 1967 was the year of the release of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and of debut albums from the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, among many others. In addition to the thriving music scene, 1967 was also the year of the Summer of Love, the year that millions of now-illegal LSD tabs flooded America. Muhammad Ali was convicted of avoiding the draft; Martin Luther King, Jr., publicly opposed the war in Vietnam. Stokely Carmichael championed Black Power. Israel won the Six-Day War, and Che Guevara was murdered. It was the year that hundreds of thousands of protesters vainly attempted to levitate the Pentagon. It was the year the word "hippie" peaked and died, and the Yippies were born. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johnny Heller.
