  Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min

  Delete looks at the surprising phenomenon of perfect remembering in the digital age, and reveals why we must reintroduce our capacity to forget. Digital technology empowers us as never before, yet it has unforeseen consequences as well. Potentially humiliating content on Facebook is enshrined in cyberspace for future employers to see. Google remembers everything we've searched for and when. The digital realm remembers what is sometimes better forgotten, and this has profound implications for us all. In Delete, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger traces the important role that forgetting has played throughout human history, from the ability to make sound decisions unencumbered by the past to the possibility of second chances. The written word made it possible for humans to remember across generations and time, yet now digital technology and global networks are overriding our natural ability to forget--the past is ever present, ready to be called up at the click of a mouse. Mayer-Schönberger examines the technology that's facilitating the end of forgetting--digitization, cheap storage and easy retrieval, global access, and increasingly powerful software--and describes the dangers of everlasting digital memory, whether it's outdated information taken out of context or compromising photos the Web won't let us forget. He explains why information privacy rights and other fixes can't help us, and proposes an ingeniously simple solution--expiration dates on information--that may. Delete is an eye-opening book that will help us remember how to forget in the digital age. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Holland.

  Sinbad at the Dawn of Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min

  Sin has risen, and only Sinbad and his friends stand in its way. The Sinbad Forever Trilogy concludes with an epic for the ages - and through them - as Sinbad and his unique band of adventurers find themselves struggling to survive against the teeth and talons of prehistoric creatures to whom they represent nothing more than annoyingly elusive meals.Cast many millions of years into Earth's past by Hades, the legendary hero and company must somehow make their way back to their own time to stop the most insidious and powerful of dark deities and his legions of winged demonic minions from storming Olympus...and beyond. Desperate to prevent that return, the would be world-destroyer has sent the venomous sorceress Circe to the Triassic Era in the form of a terrifying beast with an overriding objective: take Sinbad out permanently.Can the legendary hero and his determined allies - faithful first mate Rashid, Orpheus' brilliant but haunted brother Linus, the uncannily agile and commensurately fearless Kalyx of Marini, and the bizarre energy being they call Elek - survive Circe, then go on to defy the rules of time and space itself to prevail against mountainous odds? Probably not. At least not without some serious help. And odds are it'll be the kind of help that comes at a price; after all, it takes a very special something - abject and irrational denial, maybe? - to stand up against four vampire demigoddesses, an army of winged monsters...and the deity whose very name has become synonymous with Evil. ungekürzt.

  Myths for All Time: Selected Greek Stories Retold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min

  Patrick Hunt's Myths for All Time presents twelve of the most timeless Greek myths retold in an affable, succinct fashion. These twelve myths, which have survived through the millennia, are made applicable today through Hunt's emphasis on the overriding message of each story. With foundations in ancient Greek scholarship, society, and philosophy, these stories have grown and taken new forms and thus remain relevant. Retelling twelve of the most well-known myths in his relaxed style, Hunt vividly portrays ancient Greece with characters whose basic human characteristics are not far off from our own, thus bringing new life to the greatest stories of antiquity for readers of all ages. Some of this book was shared in presentations at the Sun Valley Writers' Conference in 2005. Patrick Hunt is a life-long student of Greek mythology, a subject that has fascinated him since his youth, and has focused his professional life on a study of the very lands that serve as the backdrop for these timeless myths. Since his time in Greece as a graduate student at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece, Hunt has gone on to become a leader in the field of alpine archaeology. His broad studies and interests have, however, constantly brought him back to the myths that started it all. Hunt has taught Greek Mythology for years at Stanford University and has lived in Greece. These experiences are reflected in this book in his retelling of the myths and in notes on their historical background. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Whitten.

  It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min

  How to wage a peaceful revolution to restore rule of law, ethics, and morality to the nation.With a title that satirically mocks It Takes a Village by Hillary Clinton, It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! details how our executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government have become thoroughly corrupt and failed the citizenry.Imploring Americans to turn away from the “scandal industry” of the cable news networks, which enrich themselves by magnifying crises - if not creating mass panic to boost ratings and advertising dollars - and offering false hope to lure viewers that there will be justice to remedy government corruption, the author Larry Klayman, both the founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, offers concrete solutions for creating a federal judiciary and instituting citizens’ grand juries.Quoting founding fathers like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Klayman explains above all that without ethics, morality, and religion, it will not matter how many times we change our forms of government or rules - there will be no lasting liberty.This work is a call to arms during these times of crises, when government corruption has hit a “cancerous state”. The overriding message of It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! is that Americans should turn off cable news, stop being entertained by it, get up off of the couch, and join the second American Revolution - albeit a peaceful and legal one - to restore the greatness of our nation in these trying and perilous times. Our continued existence hangs in the balance! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry Klayman, Esq.. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/220570/bk_acx0_220570_sample.mp3.

  Reinventing Talent Management: Principles and Practices for the New World of Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 277min

  Edward Lawler is one of the world's most eminent organizational scholars. In this new book he identifies a comprehensive and integrated set of talent management practices that fit today's rapidly evolving workplace. The world of work has changed dramatically, says Lawler. Organizations now operate in a global environment. New technologies continue to disrupt how, when, and where work is done and should be managed. The workforce is becoming more diverse. Sustainability has joined profitability as a key business goal. All of this has dramatically accelerated the pace of change, making recruiting the best talent - not simply filling positions - an overriding concern. But too many organizations still use a job-based, bureaucratic talent-management approach that doesn't take into account how the world has changed. Indeed, a recent study showed that from 1995 to 2016, there was no significant change in the way HR spends its time. Lawler says that talent management has to be reinvented. It needs to be closely linked to the organization's overall strategy. Recruitment and talent management should be driven by the skills and competencies the organization needs for long-term growth. This means talent management requires agile systems that can respond quickly to changing conditions and that take a more individualized approach to evaluating and rewarding performance. And everything talent management does has to be based on evidence, not tradition. Lawler looks at attracting, selecting, developing, rewarding, managing, and organizing talent through this new lens. In today's world, organizations have to constantly reinvent themselves - and talent management must do the same. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wayne Shepherd.

  Handling the Pornography Addiction: What's Wrong with a Few Dirty Movies Anyway? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min

  Pornography has become a plague affecting people all over the world. With a few mouse clicks, anyone connected to the net can view videos and pictures portraying anything from nudity to hardcore explicit sex acts. There are even websites that feature women who perform live using webcams, known as cam models - these are quickly becoming the most popular sites on the Internet. Many people view pornography without harm to their psyche and use it as part of their normal sex life. They enjoy the "spice" that adult entertainment can provide. You could compare this to someone who socially drinks; they can enjoy a glass of wine with dinner without becoming an alcoholic. On the other hand, some people suffer from an addiction to pornography. These individuals are driven to view explicit materials in a similar way to those who have addictions to alcohol or drugs. Quite often, they will spend obscene amounts of money to purchase graphic materials and will often become introverted and isolated from society. A few men and women become so addicted that they lose their friends, isolate themselves from their families, and don't bother to find a romantic partner. Their overriding purpose in life becomes the viewing of pornographic materials and the related sexual sensations. Pornography is everywhere, all around us, and it has an effect on individuals and society as a whole. This book explores the effects of porn on individual, families, and societies as a whole.

  The 56: Liberty Lessons from Those Who Risked All to Sign the Declaration of Independence

  Read why the historical account of the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence and the story behind the 4th of July are so critically important…before they and the 4th of July are banned from American society. The urgent need to honor the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence came to Douglas MacKinnon, fittingly enough, on the 4th of July. While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date's critical importance, he came across example after example of those from the Left and the Far-Left--be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists--calling for not only the "canceling" of the 4th of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers. One overriding thought then filled his mind: "What if they are successful?" Those who believe such totalitarian censorship could never come to be in the United States of America, need only review how quickly and brutally many on the Left were able to create the "Woke Cancel Culture" to silence those they oppose today. Now they come for Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Franklin and others who courageously signed The Declaration of Independence. That document and those men created our history. History which should never be bent, twisted, censored, or banned to fit any ideological narrative. If it is good, let us praise it. If it is bad, let us condemn it and learn from it. But let us never twist, censor, or cancel it. And yet, more and more followers of the Left want to do just that. As they control the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine…who is to stop them? Time is of the essence. We must find our voices. The 56 left the blueprint: Liberty.

  Inside Gitmo: The True Story Behind the Myths of Guantanamo Bay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

  The U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay - known to the public as Gitmo - has been called the American Gulag, a scene of medieval horrors where innocent farmers and goat herders swept up in Afghanistan and Iraq have been sequestered, tortured, and abused for years on end without access to legal counsel or basic medical services. Gordon Cucullu, a retired army colonel, was so appalled by these reports that he decided to see for himself. In a series of visits he inspected every corner of the camp and interviewed dozens of personnel, from guards and interrogators to cooks and nurses. The result - coming just as the Obama administration wants to close the facility - is a riveting description of daily life for both prisoners and guards. Cucullu describes the six camps reserved for different levels of compliance, details the treatment of prisoners, and examines their experiences in detail, including the techniques used to interrogate them, the food they eat, their medical care, how they communicate with one another, and the many ingenious ways they contrive to assault and injure their guards. While some prisoners were indeed treated harshly in the early days, when the hastily built camp was flooded with battlefield captures and fears ran high of another 9/11-style attack, Cucullu finds that these excesses were quickly corrected. Current treatment and oversight routines exceed the standards of any maximum-security prison in the world. Despite what the public has heard, these are not innocent goatherds but dedicated jihadists whose overriding goal - as they themselves candidly say - is to kill Americans. Should they now be released to return to the fight, perhaps on American soil? Read this book and decide for yourself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Damon Abdallah.
