The Last Straw: A Critical Autopsy of a Galaxy Far, Far Away , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
Come, quibble about a galaxy far, far away! Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences who watched the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as Star Wars, were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, and so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available.Yet, with one potent death star-like blast of mind-breakingly awful filmmaking, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money. Why? What makes The Last Jedi so appallingly bad? What made the filmmaker think he could win over his audience by insulting his audience?Science fiction grand master John C. Wright laments, analyzes, and autopsies the horrific story-telling of a film that, for so many of us, was the last hope for Star Wars, the last dime we will ever spend on this once-beloved franchise, and the last straw that broke our patience. ungekürzt.

Bernoulli's Fallacy
There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. This fault is not just a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines. In an increasingly data-reliant culture, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. The foundation of the problem is a misunderstanding of probability and our ability to make inferences from data. Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Clayton provides a clear account of the mathematics and logic of probability, conveying complex concepts accessibly for readers interested in the statistical methods that frame our understanding of the world. He contends that we need to take a Bayesian approach?incorporating prior knowledge when reasoning with incomplete information?in order to resolve the crisis. Ranging across math, philosophy, and culture, Bernoulli's Fallacy explains why something has gone wrong with how we use data?and how to fix it.- Shop: buecher

Somewheres in the Middle: A Creative Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
A personal memoir written in the true voice of the author as a young boy between the ages of 10-12. He tells the story of his family of 12 children "living in a black house on a hill with parents who often disappeared, sometimes for days on end, leaving us to our own devices."Some current professionals might use the term "psychological maltreatment" to explain what we experienced, long term, on that hill. They might also describe our myriad family interactions as "dysfunctional". Throw in "codependent" and you'd have a perfect set. Truth is, I wouldn’t quibble with any of those descriptors. But for us kids, finding our way through the dense and suffocating fog of poverty, alcoholism, periodic abandonment, psychological and sometimes physical abuse, it was just a hardscrabble life - a fate that, by using all the creative ingenuity we could muster, we simply endured. A beautifully written memoir in an authentic voice and language of the author as a young boy. It is at once the telling of humorous tales of children growing up together with the usual imaginative play against a backdrop of poverty and often parental neglect. It is a tale of survival and amazing truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Frank Gordon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/198943/bk_acx0_198943_sample.mp3.

Mr. Lincoln: The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Hörbuch, Digital, 369min
Five days after Abraham Lincoln was buried in Springfield, Illinois, John Locke Scripps, who had convinced Lincoln to write his first campaign autobiography, asserted that the 16th president had become, "the Great American Man - the grand central figure in American (perhaps the World's) History." Historians still find it hard to quibble with Scripps's opinion. Lincoln was the central figure in the nation's greatest crisis, the Civil War. His achievements in office make as good a case as any that he was the greatest president in U.S. history. What made Lincoln great? What was it about him that struck those who knew him? This fast-moving series of 12 lectures explores those questions with the help of one of our most distinguished Lincoln scholars and award-winning author. The lectures take you through Lincoln's life, from his forebears' arrival in America to an evaluation of his legacy. And you'll come to know the man through the eyes of those who knew, lived with, and worked with him. In presenting Lincoln, Professor Guelzo explores three themes: What ideas were at the core of his understanding of American politics? Why did he oppose slavery, and what propelled him, in the 1850s, into the open opposition to slavery that led to his election to the presidency in 1860? What gifts equipped Lincoln to lead the nation through the "fiery trial" of the Civil War? The result is an understanding of Lincoln as a man who envisioned a nation of self-governing equals wise enough to be guided not just by self-interest or popular enthusiasm, but by an abiding sense of right and wrong. Ultimately, he gave that nation, in his words, "a new birth of freedom." PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Allen C. Guelzo.

Classical Concert
Like many another contemporary musician, Franko Richmond's artistry is deeply rooted in the classics. He got this, literally, with his pablum, the first piano teacher was his mother, a great lover of classical music. Unfortunately, very few of Franko's legions of admirers have ever heard him in the kind of repertoire offered here. We know him as a supremely gifted all-around musician and composer, blessed with an immense technique and an endless supply of melodic invention in the modern pop, Latin and jazz idioms. Moreover, he has taken elements from all of them and forged a personal keyboard style which he likes to call 'world fusion', something distinctly and recognizably his own. But prepare yourselves for a treat. Thirty years ago Franko presented a formal, all classical recital at Penn State University. Shortly thereafter the entire program was privately recorded, and now you have before you, that recording. It has been re-mastered and the sound brought up to state-of-the-art standards for your listening pleasure, but not one note has been altered. The selections included here are standard fare, familiar to all concert-goers. What may not be so familiar is the playing. In an age when we expect, and largely get, a level of technical performance perfection undreamed of by earlier generations, musical conceptions and interpretations are apt to be cautious. To be sure, pianism came a long way in the twentieth century. Few of the great piano headlines of the past could sustain themselves technically before a sophisticated modern audience. Radio, television and recordings have sharpened our ears past the point where they can be fooled. But the old-timers did have something that new-timers often lack, and that's imagination and daring. They put everything they had into a performance. So does Franko. While nothing on this disc can be considered lightweight, the cornerstones of the recital, of course, are Beethoven and Schumann. The last five piano sonatas of Beethoven are so knotty, posing such a challenge to the performer, that even Artur Rubenstein never played them in public. For this listener, the definitive recorded performance of the Sonata No. 32 belongs to Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. While admittedly a choice not to everyone's taste, Michelangeli never the less brings a sweep and passion to this difficult music that is hard to withstand. Franko's version on this disc is an astonishing achievement, particularly by such a youthful interpreter, easily worthy to stand alongside that legendary performance. As for the Schumann, it is simply irresistible. Arguably one of the composers most popular concert works, it is a wonderful addition to any program and audiences love hearing it as much as pianists love to play it. There are those who insist that the music of Bach should not be played on the piano at all, but rather on the instrument which he himself knew, the harpsichord. Indeed, the music does gain a transparency and fluidity on the original instrument. It is also far easier to play on a harpsichord. Yet, who would quibble with the piano's majestic utterance of, say, the Goldberg Variations, as conceived by Glenn Gould? Indeed, all pianists after Gould have sounded different in Back. Here, Appropriately, Franko let's the composer do the talking and not the player. What can one say about Chopin that has not already been said? A mighty genius wrapped in silk, he turned the musical world of his time on it's head. Audiences to this day cannot get enough of him. This nocturne, one of the composer's most original, places unusual demands upon the performer. It is presented here in all it's glory, resplendent with it's cascade of octaves. That Franz Liszt was the greatest pianist of his time, and quite possibly all time, is generally agreed. As such the temptation to do battle with him in his own court is overpowering. Has the Mephisto Waltz ever been performed exactly as written? One doubts it. Pianists seem constitutionally unable to do so. There have always been embellishments, octaves, glissandi, and whatnot, not to mention that explosive finale. Franko is no exception. But all this is permissive in Liszt's music. He himself was forever tinkering with the music of others, and the Romantic performance practice demanded, or at least allowed much more originality on the part of the performer than we allow today. The idea of fidelity to the printed note is something relatively recent in the musical development. Franko's virtuoso rendering is perfectly in keeping with this music, done with dash and style. The old wizard of Weimar would have smiled. Noes by Carl Richards.- Shop: odax
