    To the Best of Our Knowledge: What’s Hot and Why Not?, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, the Twitter trends list may seem to be a simple measure of what's on the minds of people around the globe. Not so, says Tarleton Gillespie. He's an information science professor at Cornell, and author of the upcoming book, The Politics of Platforms. Next, Liz Crawford is a scenario planner. She brings diverse culture watchers together, to imagine possible futures. Then she helps large corporations get ready for what may come. Jim Flemming talked with her.Then, Steve Paulson and Anne Strainchamps reviewed predictions from the millennium edition of The Futurist magazine. It’s published by the World Future Society, which “does not hold that the future is knowable, only changeable.”After that, Grant McCracken says that contemporary culture is getting noisier and noisier, as small social changes are being logged on a plethora of digital platforms. He told Steve Paulson that all that noise makes it difficult to listen for the deep melody of our culture and its future. McCracken teaches anthropology at MIT, where he wants to create a conceptual time machine. His latest book is Culturematic.Following that, from albums for small bands with cult followings, to the breakout megahit of Nirvana's Nevermind, musician and producer Butch Vig has seen musical fads ebb and flow. A few of the trends he helped to create transformed the music industry. But he says the digital revolution is obscuring the future of the business.Finally, the last word goes to Dr. Seuss. His Sneetches found out the hard way about trying to follow the latest fads. [Broadcast Date: January 13, 2011] Language: English.

    Haze: Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
    Not all problems can be solved with a mute button.Everyone knows Rebecca Marley. She’s the crazy, brave, and introspective woman who spent nine months without talking. Everyone loves her. She’s raw, honest, and relatable. She’s also rich and famous, although I’m sure you knew that already. You’ve probably read her articles, or her book, or seen one of her many interviews. She’s also socially anxious, self-conscious, and self-degrading, but she tries to keep that to herself. Her once-silent world has changed, and the noise has engulfed her. It’s also about to get noisier, as Rebecca agrees to a new challenge, perhaps even crazier than before. This story picks up from Mute, and follows Rebecca on a new journey, one which we all face today. It begs the question, "How do we find quiet in a deafening world?" ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack: Burton & Swinburne, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 840min
    Sir Richard Francis Burton is an explorer, linguist, scholar, and swordsman. His reputation has been tarnished, his career is in tatters, and his former partner is missing and probably dead. Algernon Charles Swinburne is an unsuccessful poet and follower of de Sade, for whom pain is pleasure and brandy is ruin. They stand at a crossroads in their lives, and are caught in the epicentre of an empire torn by conflicting forces: Engineers transform the landscape with bigger, faster, noisier, and dirtier technological wonders; Eugenicists develop specialist animals to provide unpaid labour; and Libertines oppose repressive laws and demand a society based on beauty and creativity, while the Rakes push the boundaries of human behaviour to the limits with magic, drugs, and anarchy. The two men are sucked into the perilous depths of this moral and ethical vacuum, when Lord Palmerston commissions Burton to investigate assaults on young women committed by a weird apparition known as Spring Heeled Jack, and to find out why werewolves are terrorizing London's East End. Their investigations lead them to one of the defining events of the age, and the terrifying possibility that the world they inhabit shouldn’t exist at all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Ashokan Way: Landscape's Path into Consciousness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    The natural world has the power to awaken, restore, and transform us, and nowhere are these capacities more evident than in the 36 luminous essays that make up The Ashokan Way. Written in the form of journal entries that take place over the course of a year, the essays explore both the outer landscapes of the awe-inspiring Ashokan Reservoir, a vast open space surrounded by the ancient bluestone peaks of the Catskill Mountain Watershed, and the equally awe-inspiring inner landscapes of our own most personal terrains.Each of the audiobook’s evocative entries describes a walk along the ever-changing reservoir, illuminating the natural world as a portal to self-understanding, restoration, and meaning. Some walks take us deep inside to trek the hills and valleys of our aspirations and sorrows, our joys, and confusions. Others offer a profound antidote to an interior landscape that has become crowded with distraction and overstimulation. Still others seem to seem usher us into the realm of the mystical.As surely as we would perish without the water and air that the earth provides, we are at risk of perishing without the spiritual sustenance that the natural world provides through its ability to stir and astonish us. In a world that is ever faster, noisier, and busier, The Ashokan Way is a balm, an inspiration, and an invitation to discover greater intimacy with inner and outer landscapes alike. ungekürzt.

    The Book of Separation: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
    The memoir of a woman who leaves her faith and her marriage and sets out to navigate the terrifying, liberating terrain of a newly mapless world. Born and raised in a tight-knit Orthodox Jewish family, Tova Mirvis committed herself to observing the rules and rituals prescribed by this way of life. After all, to observe was to be accepted and to be accepted was to be loved. She married a man from within the fold and quickly began a family. But over the years, her doubts became noisier than her faith, and at age 40 she could no longer breathe in what had become a suffocating existence. Even though it would mean the loss of her friends, her community, and, possibly, even her family, Tova decides to leave her husband and her faith. After years of trying to silence the voice inside her that said she did not agree, did not fit in, did not believe, she strikes out on her own to discover what she does believe and who she really is. This will mean forging a new way of life not just for herself, but for her children, who are struggling with what the divorce and her new status as "not Orthodox" means for them. This is a memoir about what it means to decide to heed your inner compass at long last. To free the part of yourself that has been suppressed, even if it means walking away from the only life you've ever known. Honest and courageous, Tova takes us through her first year outside her marriage and community as she learns to silence her fears and seek adventure on her own path to happiness. ungekürzt.
