  Conflict, Time, Photography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 10min

  The extraordinary exhibition of thousands of photographs ranging from cumbersome, beautifully detailed, sharply acute photographs of the aftermath of the 1860s American Civil War to mundane landscapes taken in 2013, are based on an enlivening, provocative, and even perhaps controversial organizing principle. What is novel is the unusual premise: eschewing more conventional and immediate reportage, or documentary series, the selection moving from gallery to gallery - and section by section in the catalogue - is defined by time. The images are set out from Moments Later to 100 Years. The theme is set by Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, a fantasy novel which plays with notions of memory and time, inspired by his extraordinary experience of having been imprisoned in Dresden in, indeed, a slaughterhouse, and emerging the morning after the Dresden bombing to find the destroyed city. ungekürzt.

  Fling! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min

  Is it possible to come of age at 60 or 90? Is it ever too late to fulfill your dreams? When 90-year-old Bubbles receives a letter from Mexico City asking her to pick up her mother's ashes, lost there 70 years earlier and only now surfacing, she hatches a plan. A woman with a mission, Bubbles convinces her hippie daughter Feather to accompany her on the quest. Both women have recently shed husbands, and have a secondary agenda: they'd like a little action. And they get it. Alternating narratives weave together Feather and Bubbles' odyssey. The two women head south from Canada to Mexico, where Bubbles' long-dead mother, grandmother, and grandfather turn up, enlivening the narrative with their hilarious antics. In Mexico, where reality and magic co-exist, Feather gets a new sense of her mother, and Bubbles' quest for her mother's ashes - and a new man - increases her zest for life. Unlike most women her age, fun-loving Bubbles takes risks, believing she's immortal. She doesn't hold back in any way, eating heartily and lusting after strangers, exulting in her youthful spirit. Has Bubbles discovered a fountain of youth that everyone can drink from? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Crowe.

  Living and Working

  An argument against the ideology of domesticity that separates work from home; lavishly illustrated, with architectural proposals for alternate approaches to working and living. Despite the increasing numbers of people who now work from home, in the popular imagination the home is still understood as the sanctuary of privacy and intimacy. Living is conceptually and definitively separated from work. This book argues against such a separation, countering the prevailing ideology of domesticity with a series of architectural projects that illustrate alternative approaches. Less a monograph than a treatise, richly illustrated, the book combines historical research and design proposals to reenvision home as a cooperative structure in which it is possible to live and work and in which labor is socialized beyond the family-freeing inhabitants from the sense of property and the burden of domestic labor. The projects aim to move the house beyond the dichotomous logic of male/female, husband/wife, breadwinner/housewife, and private/public. They include the reinvention of single-room occupancy as a new model for affordable housing; the reimagining of the simple tower-and-plinth prototype as host to a multiplicity of work activities and enlivening street life; and a plan for a modular, adaptable structure meant to house a temporary dweller. All of these design projects conceive of the house not as a commodity, the form of which is determined by its exchange value, but as an infrastructure defined by its use value.

  The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min

  Finance is shrouded in mystery for outsiders, while many insiders are uneasy with the disrepute of their profession. How can finance become more accessible and also recover its nobility? Harvard Business School professor Mihir Desai takes up the cause of restoring humanity to finance. With deft wit, he draws upon a rich knowledge of literature, film, history, and philosophy to explain finance's inner workings. Through this creative approach, he shows that outsiders can easily access the underlying ideas and insiders can reacquaint themselves with the core values of their profession. This combination of finance and the humanities creates unusual and illuminating pairings: Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope are guides to risk management; Jeff Koons becomes an advocate of leverage; and Mel Brooks' The Producers teaches us about fiduciary responsibility. In Desai's vision, the principles of finance also provide answers to critical questions in our lives: bankruptcy teaches us how to react to failure, the lessons of mergers apply to marriages, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model demonstrates the true value of relationships. The Wisdom of Finance is a wholly unique book, offering an enlivening new perspective on one of the world's most complex and misunderstood professions. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mihir Desai.

  Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground: Words to Awaken Your Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min

  Perhaps the first of its kind, Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground is a collection of author Jeff Brown's most inspiring and well-loved Facebook quotes, "soul bytes", excerpts, and aphorisms. In Jeff's hands, a Facebook status becomes a kind of spiritual graffiti, a grassroots opportunity to inspire, support, and connect with humanity. With a writing style that is unforgettably heartfelt and original, Jeff calls out to our inner knowing and reminds us of the magnificent life that awaits us. This little treasure book is no generic quote book. It is an impactful, stirring, and enlivening piece of art that will keep you company on the journey home. Exhilarating, compassionate, and insightful, these truth-soundings will help you to excavate your purpose, befriend your confusion, confront your avoidance, ground your spirituality, and open your heart. At its core, Ascending reflects the grounded spirituality that threads through all of Jeff's writing, one that celebrates enrealment, a way of being that is inclusive and honoring of all that is human. Nothing and no one gets left out on the path home. Everything - feelings, personal identifications, practical challenges, mystical moments, the dust that falls off our awakening hearts - is part of our spirituality. Simultaneously mystical and practical, Ascending beautifully reflects the indistinguishable weave between spiritual and emotional life that is becoming deeply important to seekers on the path. Also included are Jeff's most inspiring blog posts, including "Apologies to the Divine Feminine (from a Warrior in Transition)", now read and loved by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. ungekürzt.
