    The Power of Dignity: Before and After. The Tawdry Clash of Management Styles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    I've been on a wonderful and enlightening trip since I began researching this book in 2003 and published its first edition, Managing with Conscience for Competitive Advantage, in 2004. It was praised by reviewers for its importance, need, relevance, and style - prompting me to revisit and refine its premise. During my research I was fortunate to discover managers in a variety of businesses who actually understand and practice the awesome power of dignifying and respecting the people who depend on the businesses for their livelihoods and on whom the businesses depend on for their existence - the perfect win-win. The managers profiled in this audiobook are totally convinced that dignity is the root cause of their firms' profitability and sustainability. I think you'll enjoy getting to know them and profit from their insights. This book is about new possibilities for individuals and firms. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Crawford.

    The Bostonians , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1068min
    From Boston's social underworld emerges Verena Tarrant, a girl with extraordinary oratorical gifts, which she deploys in tawdry meeting-houses on behalf of "the sisterhood of women." She acquires two admirers of a very different stamp: Olive Chancellor, devotee of radical causes and marked out for tragedy; and Basil Ransom, a veteran of the Civil War who holds rigid views concerning society and women's place therein. Is the lovely, lighthearted Verena made for public movements or private passions? A struggle to possess her, body and soul, develops between Olive and Basil. The exploitation of Verena's unregenerate innocence reflects a society whose moral and cultural values are failing to survive the new dawn of liberalism and democracy. When it was first published in 1886, The Bostonians was not welcomed by Henry James's fellow countrymen, who failed to appreciate its delicacy and wit. But over a century later, this book is widely regarded as James's finest American fiction and perhaps his comic masterpiece. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Xe Sands.
