    Philanthropy Sucks! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min
    This book is a direct result of stories. From all those villagers I met who are my main source of inspiration, and my colleagues with whom I had animated discussions on development. But this book would not have been possible without all those people who contributed generously and candidly to our discovery. It is an outcome of my diverse experiences, undying curiosity and firm belief in the power of human beings to want to collaborate, to create shared value and create a better world. It urges us to reflect on where we are, and where we wish to go. And the way we engage in philanthropy is perhaps as good a place to start as any. This book is about the past, the present and one possible future for social good. It seeks to identify the underlying problem and search for new solutions. How I learnt that the problems of philanthropy start from wrong intent, but the real problem lies in the fact that it creates dependencies. The landscape is divided today and standing purposefully. There is a dichotomy between the tough conditions for doing business and an unresolved ecosystem, but also between intent and resolve, a function perhaps of its life stage, transitioning reflectively from philanthropy towards accountability, scale and sustainability. There are three key components of the solution: people desire dignity more than they desire charity; they demand service as customers; and customer based models bring seriousness, accountability and better outcomes. This book suggests three broad directions for the future: new kinds of capital for scale, new business models for sustainability and making shifts in how we think. The reactions to this book will vary from indignation to cynicism to denial to relief. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dominic Carlos.

    The Betrayal of Anne Frank
    'Hums with living history, human warmth and indignation' New York TimesLess a mystery unsolved than a secret well keptThe mystery has haunted generations since the Second World War: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why?Now, thanks to radical new technology and the obsession of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer. Rosemary Sullivan unfolds the story in a gripping, moving narrative.Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teenaged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works - journalism, books, plays and novels - devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years - and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door.With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents - some never before seen - and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilising methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest - and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behaviour of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.

He was known for his cannibalistic acts though that is only scratching the surface.The murders perpetrated by Dahmer rocked the small, quiet city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to its very core.

    Without Expiration: A Personal Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
    Are we bad people who sometimes do good things, or good people who do bad things?As a society that struggles to reconcile the uncovering of past wrongs with simple human frailty, punishment, and personal redemption, the stories in Without Expiration challenge us to consider the humanity of characters who are flawed and heartbroken and who do and suffer terrible things.Works from Without Expiration have been published in some of America’s best short fiction journals. From the tale of a devastated father hunting his daughter’s killer to that of a couple forced to confront the disintegration of their marriage anew each time the wife awakes from a persistent vegetative state, the short fictions in this anthology seek to obliterate any sense of righteous indignation and to question how any of us can make it unscathed through a life where our every mistake is without expiration.Praise for the book:“Hincy doesn’t hold your hand while he tells you a story - he leads you to the darkest hour, the deepest secret, the saddest truth, and leaves you holding the consequences. While one story is funny and filled with ludicrous-but-adorable characters, the next is stark, real, and unsettling. You may need a moment to recuperate between stories, but it’s well worth it. This is short story telling at its finest.” (Connie Kuntz, editor, The Rockford Review)“Deft, poignant, and unflinching, this collection takes the short story form and turns it inside-out like yesterday's lost sock. Not to be missed.” (Charles Hood, winner of the Kenneth Patchen Prize for experimental fiction) “In Without Expiration, William Hincy wields keen mastery of a dazzling variety of narrative styles and voices. Many of the stories in this collection are deeply poignant, with a recurring theme of loss, while others are told with a primal irreverence, exploring the substance of what is human and humane.

    Anger Management: A Self-Help Guide to Help Take Control of Your Anger, Master Your Emotions with Self-Discipline, and Achieve Freedom from Mental Disorders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min
    Are you looking for an effective way for managing anger during everyday situations? Then keep listening....Anger is what you feel when somebody or something rubs you the wrong way. It’s an intense feeling of displeasure, or an expression of unkind words to show a strong dislike for something or somebody. Anger has the same meaning as rage, annoyance, wrath, fury, vexation, indignation, outrage, crossness, irritation, resentment, and so forth. And it can be expressed, not only in words, but also by actions that may include physical harm on the object of your anger.From those other words for anger, you’d easily conclude that it’s one very bad emotion that everybody should try to avoid like a plague. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Instead, more people, rich and poor, in societies across the globe, seem to actively stoke the fire of anger in their respective countries. Anger is widespread and growing. It’s the most common emotion among people in many societies. In the United States, anger wells up against politicians on both partisan platforms. There’s anger across racial lines, in the family circles, by kids against their parents and between spouses. Anger is a fundamental emotion that any normal human being experiences regularly. At an early age, a person learns to express anger by observing their environment. A child might copy the angry behavior they observe being modeled around them. Through this, they learn to express anger and see whether they can get away with anything by throwing tantrums. Most people think of anger as something that’s negative. In many cultures around the world, people find it difficult to express anger because they have been brought up thinking that it’s not right to express your anger directly. Anger, in most cultures, is treated as something dangerous, something that shouldn’t be tolerated. As a result, many people tend to develop anger issues. They spend most of their lives bottling up their emoti ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Olivia Hampton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196345/bk_acx0_196345_sample.mp3.

    The Secret Story of the Eiffel Tower, Hörbuch, Digital, 114min
    Everything you always wanted to know about  the Eiffel Tower ! This incredible monument that became the symbol of a city, Paris, and of a country, France, has a fascinating history. The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; about seven million people ascended it in 2014. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010. The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. A "Committee of Three Hundred" was formed, led by the prominent architect Charles Garnier and including some of the most important figures of the French arts establishment, including Guy de Maupassant, Charles Gounod and Jules Massenet: "We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection ... of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower... To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years ... we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal." Gustave Eiffel responded to these criticisms by comparing his tower Language: English. Narrator: Stuart Walker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cids/000440/bk_cids_000440_sample.mp3.

    Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
    It's time to set the record straight about Steven Avery. The full record - including evidence never before revealed - makes his guilt clear. The Netflix series Making a Murderer quickly became a huge hit, with over 19 million viewers in the US in the first 35 days. The series left many viewers with the opinion that Steven Avery - a man falsely imprisoned for almost 20 years on a rape charge - was railroaded into prison a second time by a corrupt police force and district attorney's office. Viewers were outraged, and hundreds of thousands demanded a pardon for Avery. The chief villain of the series: Ken Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and prosecution. Kratz's later misdeeds - prescription drug abuse and sexual harassment - cemented his guilt in the minds of the viewers. This book tells what you don't know. Making a Murderer raised convincing doubts about Avery's guilt. But now Ken Kratz puts those doubts to rest with Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong. In it, Kratz demonstrates how the Netflix series leaves out critical evidence, including bombshell facts known only to him. Avery systematically erases the uncertainties introduced by the series, confirming once and for all that Steven Avery is guilty of the murder of Teresa Halbach. What's more, Kratz even provides online access to detailed evidence so listeners can explore every aspect of the case - the largest criminal investigation in Wisconsin history. Avery tells the full story of the investigation, filled with details and insights unknown to the public. Then Kratz candidly addresses the aftermath. He openly discusses his struggle with addiction and the disturbing behaviors he engaged in, which led him to lose everything: his job, his wife, his house, his car, and his reputation.

    The Werewolf Detective 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Book 3 of this thrilling hot werewolf romance! Audrey pointed to the floor where the paper was still laying. "I haven't touched it since." The envelope was still perched on the arm of the chair. "We called it in, so the others should be here soon." Liam and Audrey stood in awkward silence as they waited. Hank looked around their little house, again envious. Why was he suddenly so concerned about what his friend had? He knew he was because it contrasted so starkly against what he didn't have. It didn't take long for two squad cars to arrive and two of the CSI's. Although why they were here, Liam had no idea. All that was there was a letter and an envelope. He could have bagged that himself. He turned his head sharply as Audrey's cell phone rang. "Hello?" There was a pause and Liam watched the back of Audrey's head nod as she plugged her other ear. "No, now's not a good time..." Liam took a step towards her. "Something...happened. I can't talk about it." Liam took the phone from Audrey's hand. "Who in the hell is this?" Audrey stared at Liam with indignation. She grabbed for the phone, but Liam raised his elbow to fend her off. "Give that back to me!" She hissed. Hank looked at the other three officers, (why three!), and shrugged. The two Crime Scene Investigators waited patiently, holding their equipment, obviously enjoying the show. Heated words were flying out of Liam's mouth. "Oh, yeah? Well, come over so we can discuss it!" Audrey, Hank, and everyone else there listened in shocked silence as Liam gave the home address. He tossed the phone back into Audrey's hands. "Why did you do that?" She demanded, one hand on her hip the other gesturing towards him with the phone still in her hand.

    Syria and the Assad Family: The History Behind Bashar al-Assad's Rise to Power and the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    I'm not a puppet. I wasn't made by the west to go to the west or any other country. I'm Syrian. I'm made in Syria. I have to live in Syria and die in Syria. - Bashar al-Assad, 2012 In early 2011, a political movement swept across the Arabic-speaking world that toppled despotic regimes and dictatorships. The political movement, which became known as the "Arab Spring", was popular in nature and made use of the Internet, particularly social networking websites, to remove dictators such as Muammar Qadaffi of Libya. Those dictators, who ruled their countries for decades, were unable to stem the tide of popular indignation against them, even though they tried using force and propaganda in ways reminiscent of the Cold War era. The events of the Arab Spring have come to be overshadowed by the civil war in the Arabic-speaking nation of Syria, which has been ruled throughout the 21st century by Bashar al-Assad. Though he had not planned on ruling Syria, several events conspired to make Bashar the successor of his father, Hafez. Though the West frequently looked for signs that Bashar might be a reformer, due in part to his formerly popular Western wife, Assad remained part of a critical alliance with Iran and the sub-state groups Hamas and Hezbollah. This formed an influential bloc that has influenced events across the Middle East, and one that Israel and the West have tried to break over the past decade. A crisis that may have threatened to involve either the United States, Russia, or both, appears to have been solved at least temporarily. However bigger issues concerning Syria still remain. Syria and the Assad Family explains how Hafez al-Assad's son grew up and the events that brought him to power in Syria. It also comprehensively analyzes the ongoing civil war against Assad. You will learn about Syria's notorious dictator like you never have before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phillip J Mather.
