Extreme Cities: The Peril and Promise of Urban Life in the Age of Climate Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min

How will climate change affect our lives? Where will its impacts be most deeply felt? Are we doing enough to protect ourselves from the coming chaos? In Extreme Cities, Ashley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change, contributing the lion's share of carbon to the atmosphere, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. Today, the majority of the world's megacities are located in coastal zones, yet few of them are adequately prepared for the floods that will increasingly menace their shores. Instead, most continue to develop luxury waterfront condos for the elite and industrial facilities for corporations. These not only intensify carbon emissions, but also place coastal residents at greater risk when water levels rise. In Extreme Cities, Dawson offers an alarming portrait of the future of our cities, describing the efforts of Staten Island, New York, and Shishmareff, Alaska residents to relocate; Holland's models for defending against the seas; and the development of New York City before and after Hurricane Sandy. Our best hope lies not with fortified sea walls, he argues. Rather, it lies with urban movements already fighting to remake our cities in a more just and equitable way. As much a harrowing study as a call to arms, Extreme Cities is a must-listen for anyone concerned with the threat of global warming, and of the cities of the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Coming Insurrection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 197min

The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord — and with comparable elegance — it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors). One of its members more adequately described the group as "the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality". The Coming Insurrection is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to "spread anarchy and live communism".Written in the wake of the riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005 and presaging more recent riots and general strikes in France and Greece, The Coming Insurrection articulates a rejection of the official Left and its reformist agenda, aligning itself instead with the younger, wilder forms of resistance that have emerged in Europe around recent struggles against immigration control and the "war on terror".Hot-wired to the movement of '77 in Italy, its preferred historical reference point, The Coming Insurrection formulates an ethics that takes as its starting point theft, sabotage, the refusal to work, and the elaboration of collective, self-organized forms-of-life. It is a philosophical statement that addresses the growing number of those — in France, in the United States, and elsewhere — who refuse the idea that theory, politics, and life are separate realms. ungekürzt.

Last Subway: The Long Wait for the Next Train in New York City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 718min

Last Subway is the fascinating and dramatic story behind New York City's struggle to build a new subway line under Second Avenue and improve transit services all across the city. With his extraordinary access to powerful players and internal documents, Philip Mark Plotch reveals why the city's subway system, once the best in the world, is now too often unreliable, overcrowded, and uncomfortable. He explains how a series of uninformed and self-serving elected officials have fostered false expectations about the city's ability to adequately maintain and significantly expand its transit system.Since the 1920s, New Yorkers have been promised a Second Avenue subway. When the first of four planned phases opened on Manhattan's Upper East Side in 2017, subway service improved for tens of thousands of people. Riders have been delighted with the clean, quiet, and spacious new stations. Yet these types of accomplishments will not be repeated unless New Yorkers learn from their century-long struggle.Last Subway offers valuable lessons in how governments can overcome political gridlock and enormous obstacles to build grand projects. However, it is also a cautionary tale for cities. Plotch reveals how false promises, redirected funds, and political ambitions have derailed subway improvements. Given the ridiculously high cost of building new subways in New York and their lengthy construction period, the Second Avenue subway (if it is ever completed) will be the last subway built in New York for generations to come.The book is published by Cornell University Press.

Rapid Weight Loss Hypnosis: The Ultimate Guide to Stop Sugar Craving, Lose Weight, Burn Fat, and Stop Emotional Eating to Live a Better Life and Increase Your Self-Esteem with Hypnosis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min

Do you want to lose weight with the help of hypnosis? If yes, then keep reading!Hypnosis for weight loss may help you shed extra pounds if it's part of a diet, exercise, and counseling weight loss plan. It is difficult to confidently say, however, since the science of weight-loss hypnosis alone does not adequately help. Hypnosis is like being in a trance, an unconscious state of relaxation and concentration. A hypnotherapist usually performs the use of verbal expression and visual imagery. If you suffer hypnosis, your care is highly focused, and you are more responsive to suggestions that can help you lose weight, including behavioral changes.A few studies have assessed the use of weight-loss hypnosis. Most research only showed a minor weight loss, and over 18 months, there was an overall loss of approximately six pounds (2.7 kg). However, the quality of studies has been questioned, and the true effectiveness of weight loss hypnosis cannot be determined. The audiobook contains information on:What Is Hypnosis?Rewiring Subconscious Mind with Positive Affirmations and TechniqueReplacing Negative Habits and Eating PatternsHow to Lose Emotional PoundsTechniques to Reach Your Ideal WeightAnd much more...Hypnosis can be more productive than diet and training for people who are so keen to lose weight. The theory is that the mind will alter behaviors like excessive consumption. However, it is still up to debate just how successful it can be. Wanted to learn how to lose weight through hypnosis?

Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak: The Evidence Supporting the Immediate Removal of Mercury - a Known Neurotoxin - from Vaccines , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min

From New York Times best-selling author Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., comes a science-based call for the immediate removal of the dangerous mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal from vaccines. Over a decade ago, following a sharp rise in developmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, the mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal was widely believed to have been eliminated from vaccine supplies in the United States and abroad. However, dangerous quantities of Thimerosal continue to be used, posing a significant threat to public health and leading to a crisis of faith in vaccine safety. In this groundbreaking audiobook, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., examines the research literature on Thimerosal and makes a very clear statement about its potentially dangerous effects. In the past, the CDC, FDA, NIH, and AAP, as well as the US Congress, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the US Department of Agriculture, the European Medicines Agency, and the California Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concerns over the use of Thimerosal in vaccines. But despite the many voices calling for action, the media and policy makers have repeatedly failed to adequately address the issue. Now, with Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak, the science supporting the elimination of this toxic chemical from the world's vaccine supplies, and its replacement with already available safer alternatives, is all in one place. Making this change should increase vaccination rates by restoring the trust of concerned parents in the vaccine program - a program that is so vitally important to public health. ungekürzt.

Zombie Stories for People with Short Attention Spans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min

A collection of short, disgusting, and mentally disturbed zombie stories for the Internet age. Concise, bittersweet, and stomach-churning, this collection of disgusting, horrifying, and psychological thriller-based zombie stories is the result of a challenge. One night, Kyle Clements and I decided we should write a novella. We came up with the idea of writing stories based on a weekly challenge. Each week, we would send each other a single word, for better or worse. Regardless the word, we had to write at least 1,000 words about the topic. The stories that came out of the challenge are the most terrifying, depraved, sincere, and utterly unreadable works we could have hoped for. The idea was further based on Edgar Allen Poe's recommendation that a short story should be read within a single sitting. Given society's recent changes in attention span, we realized that 1,000 words in a single sitting would be the best most people could accomplish. When I introduced the idea to my mother, she was excited until she read the first story. Then she said, "I liked your last work better...." When I sent the novella to our beta readers, their responses were typically a mix between, "This is really great," and "I couldn't finish this story, it was just too disgusting." In the end, I think we adequately accomplished our goal: A challenging read that is both interesting and disgusting at once. It is our hope that you will both enjoy this audiobook and also hate it, yet not demand a refund. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Vincent.

Conviction: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 375min

Fifty-nine days. That's how long Rennell Price has to live after spending 15 years on death row for the horrifying sexual assault and murder of a girl whose body was found floating in San Francisco Bay. But attorney Terri Paget has dedicated her life to fighting for people like Rennell Price. This time, Terri has a client she believes may actually be innocent, which means that an unpunished killer may still be free. Rennell, along with his older brother, Payton, was found guilty of the heinous crime, and the conviction has been upheld through one appeal after another. But as Terri spends time with Rennell and re-creates the events that put him on death row, she starts to understand the forces that shaped Rennell and the reason he has never been able to defend himself adequately. As Terri prepares for a last appeal, she gets a new weapon for her battle; fresh evidence suggesting that another man, not Rennell, helped Payton commit the atrocity. But the grim machinery of capital punishment is already in motion. As more people are drawn into Terri's last-ditch battle, this much is clear: The serious doubts about Rennell's guilt may not be enough to save him. Conviction raises issues of ethics, political expediency, and personal trauma that will shake readers to their core. Patterson illuminates the mysterious precincts between justice and truth, where the fate of one man involves not only his own life and the lives he has affected but the moral life of a nation.
