    Under the Shade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
    What happened to the jolly swagman after he jumped into that billabong?   Story is a key element of breaking down perception and exploring unconscious bias. It is through narrative that we can humanize, identify, and relate with the experiences of a character as a reminder of our innate empathy for one another. Story is also key to easing the population along the journey of historical acceptance. It is up to all of us to act against the inequalities that still exist, on all levels of society, between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.   This story is the coming of age adventure of Edee, desperate to find his missing father, forced to leave his first love, Tilda, and honor his duty to the community. Meanwhile, an invading force is spreading its cancerous roots and violently eliminating nearby Nations in search of a magical gem that can harness universal power. Society is crumbling around Edee - the rivers flow weaker; disease is spreading; murders at an all-time high, and the song of the earth is beginning to fade.   This book will challenge you to listen differently, to think differently. We implore you, embrace the unfamiliar and unite in the strength of its difference. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Patrick, Elaine Innes.

    Cancerland: A Medical Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 641min
    From Dr. David Scadden, co-founder of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, comes Cancerland, an audiobook about loss and hope in the world of cancer.  What is it like to encounter cancer? How does it feel to face the unknown, to enter a world of hope, loss, and dread? From the diagnosis of his childhood friend’s mother to his poignant memories in the lab, David Scadden’s seen the unknown world of cancer from the lens of a young boy, a classmate, a researcher, a friend, a doctor, and a neighbor. Scadden chronicles his personal memories of cancer - his visits to his sick neighbor and his classmate who left school and never came back.  Now Dr. David Scadden, co-founder of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and one of the world's leading experts on immunology and oncology, writes his memoir with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael D'Antonio. With riveting stories and moving compassion, Scadden and D’Antonio paint a still rapidly changing landscape in the context of all too common stories of loss. Ranging from his personal childhood memories to his triumphs and regrets as a doctor, Scadden illuminates a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Through opening a window into the science of medicine in the world of the unknown, Scadden and D’Antonio humanize cancer while inspiring action that we all so desperately need. ungekürzt.

    Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
    “Ed Hess’s Hyper-Learning is uniquely practical and is the essential starting point for charting new ways of thinking, living, working, leading, and being fulfilled in our new world.” (Gary Roughead, admiral, US Navy (retired), former chief of naval operations)The digital age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can’t.Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become hyper-learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models. Hyper-learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In part one of this how-to guide, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps listeners create their hyper-learning mindset, choose and embrace their needed hyper-learning behaviors, and adopt their daily hyper-learning practices. In part two, Hess focuses on how to humanize the workplace to optimize hyper-learning. Featuring case studies of three business leaders and two public companies, this book shows how to harness the power of human emotions, choices, and behaviors to enable the highest levels of human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral performance - individually and organizationally. ungekürzt.

    Greek Philosophers: The Lives and Times Of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 214min
    Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are three of philosophy's greatest contributors. You already knew that. But what you might not know is that they all lived in classical Athens at around the same time. You might not know that Socrates was executed for practicing free speech. You might not know that Plato was sold into slavery for making the Tyrant of Syracuse angry. And you might not know that Aristotle tutored the famous Alexander the Great. The philosophers were part of some crazy world events as well. The Peloponnesian War, the Macedonian takeover, the 30 tyrants who thought they could wipe out Athenian democracy...it's all there. Truth be told, there's not a lot of testimony out there detailing what their lives were like. Historians of those days were more concerned with documenting the perpetual civil wars, and the philosophers' students were more concerned with recording their teachers' ideas. However, this book by Simon T. Bailey, entitled Greek Philosophers: The Lives and Times of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, is a look into what it might have been like for Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to live in Athens in the fourth and fifth centuries BCE. If you're looking for a dry, professorial work full of archaeological evidence, then this book isn't going to be your cup of tea, but if you're looking for a partially fictionalized rendition of the philosophers' lives and thoughts that seeks to humanize those marble statues or for something to wet your palate and get you excited about ancient Greek history and philosophy, then this book is your boon. ungekürzt.

    Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    By Paulo Tan, Alexis Padilla, Erica N. Mason, and James Sheldon.Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths is about enhancing the practices of mathematics teachers by extending the concepts of access, equity, and empowerment to include students living with all types of disabilities. These students are rarely thought of as mathematics doers and thinkers, and so are seldom offered opportunities to engage in mathematics in meaningful and connected ways. Humanizing Disability examines the current mindset and pedagogy that students with different learning needs encounter, and then offers strategies and practices to humanize the mathematics experience for these students.The authors lay out some key ideas about humanizing mathematics education for students with disabilities. As teachers of mathematics of teacher educators and students with disabilities, as well as with their own backgrounds as learners with identified disabilities, the authors’ case and perspective are informed by hands-on episodes of their work and their own lived experiences. Foundational to the authors’ advocacy are these compelling concepts:Students with disabilities are mathematics doers and thinkers.There are multiple ways of knowing and doing mathematics.The idea that disability is a tragedy must be resisted.Humanizing mathematics education is a matter of human rights to counter conventional, deficit-centered forms of education involving students with disabilities.Humanizing the mathematics education of students with disabilities enhances the learning of all. Humanizing Disability offers practical examples of implementation through the exploration of singular cases of how an Individual Education Plan (IEP) can be a powerful tool for access, equity, and inclusivity for the disabled learner; and of using funds of knowledge and of identity to navigate the education system. ungekürzt.

    Emotional Healthy Spirituality & Emotional Agility Guidebook Bundle 2 in 1: How to Manage Self-Esteem, Stop Negative Thinking & Anxiety and Create Emotional intelligence, Emotional Design & Detox , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min
    A lot has been written on mental health. Yet, a lot is still undiscovered and unexplored as a part of our global approach to mental illnesses. For quite a long time, we have aimed for flying cars, yet, no one fundamentally aspires for a world where mental peace and sustenance remain accurate reflections of our progress in science and technology.This book directly refers to emotions, one of the pillars in depressive symptoms. Depression is a complex subject, and we will learn how to approach it. Facts and information relating to depression must have scientific or clinical validation. This book aims to bring forward clinical insights, key facts, research-backed behavioral patterns, and therapies that have been useful in fighting depression, anxiety, and the like. It primarily draws an overarching analysis of an individual’s emotional state, how emotions work, emotional patterns, theory, and analysis of emotional intelligence, growing emotional intelligence quotient, emotional learning, and guided techniques to manage emotions.Furthermore, this book will highlight that depression hates a moving target. It brings about cathartic ideas and how individuals battling depression can overcome their symptoms by increasing action in life, which anchors their mental state towards aspects of life that matter. It will also highlight the commercial use of emotion and personalization.Bringing futuristic reference of emotional intelligence in design, marketing, business, we outline emotions and their ubiquity in our lives. As emotional intelligent design and personal content are successful, it allows consumers to relate more and grow a sense of belonging toward a brand or business. The advent of mental health and its awareness has transformed business practices, pushing brands to humanize more.We have a long fight, and we are in this together. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Have Shaped Us (and What We Can Do About Them) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    By the world-renowned seismologist, a riveting history of natural disasters, their impact on our culture, and new ways of thinking about the ones to come Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes - they stem from the same forces that give our planet life. Earthquakes give us natural springs; volcanoes produce fertile soil. It is only when these forces exceed our ability to withstand them that they become disasters. Together they have shaped our cities and their architecture; elevated leaders and toppled governments; influenced the way we think, feel, fight, unite, and pray. The history of natural disasters is a history of ourselves. In The Big Ones, leading seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones offers a bracing look at some of the world's greatest natural disasters, whose reverberations we continue to feel today. At Pompeii, Jones explores how a volcanic eruption in the first century AD challenged prevailing views of religion. She examines the California floods of 1862 and the limits of human memory. And she probes more recent events - such as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and the American hurricanes of 2017 - to illustrate the potential for globalization to humanize and heal. With population in hazardous regions growing and temperatures around the world rising, the impacts of natural disasters are greater than ever before. The Big Ones is more than just a work of history or science; it is a call to action. Natural hazards are inevitable; human catastrophes are not. With this energizing and exhaustively researched book, Dr. Jones offers a look at our past, readying us to face down the Big Ones in our future. ungekürzt. Language: English.
