The Purchase of Intimacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 800min
In their personal lives, people consider it essential to separate economics and intimacy. We have, for example, a long-standing taboo against workplace romance, while we see marital love as different from prostitution because it is not a fundamentally financial exchange. In The Purchase of Intimacy, Viviana Zelizer mounts a provocative challenge to this view. Getting to the heart of one of life's greatest taboos, she shows how we all use economic activity to create, maintain, and renegotiate important ties--especially intimate ties--to other people. In everyday life, we invest intense effort and worry to strike the right balance. For example, when a wife's income equals or surpasses her husband's, how much more time should the man devote to household chores or child care? Sometimes legal disputes arise. Should the surviving partner in a same-sex relationship have received compensation for a partner's death as a result of 9/11?Through a host of compelling examples, Zelizer shows us why price is central to three key areas of intimacy: sexually tinged relations; health care by family members, friends, and professionals; and household economics. She draws both on research and materials ranging from reports on compensation to survivors of 9/11 victims to financial management Web sites and advice books for same-sex couples.From the bedroom to the courtroom, The Purchase of Intimacy opens a fascinating new window on the inner workings of the economic processes that pervade our private lives. ungekürzt.

They , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
Rudyard Kipling was one of the most popular writers of prose and poetry in the late 19th and 20th century and awarded the Noble Prize for Literature in 1907. Born in Bombay on 30th December 1865, as was the custom in those days, he and his sister were sent back to England when he was five. The ill treatment and cruelty by the couple who they boarded with in Portsmouth, Kipling himself suggested, contributed to the onset of his literary life. This was further enhanced by his return to India at age 16 to work on a local paper, as not only did this result in him writing constantly but also made him explore issues of identity and national allegiance which pervade much of his work. While he is best remembered for his classic children’s stories and his popular poem "If-", he is also regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story. This comes to you courtesy of Miniature Masterpieces who have an excellent range of quality short stories from the masters of the craft.

The Constitution: An Introduction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 871min
From war powers to health care, freedom of speech to gun ownership, religious liberty to abortion, practically every aspect of American life is shaped by the Constitution. This vital document, along with its history of political and judicial interpretation, governs our individual lives and the life of our nation. Yet most of us know surprisingly little about the Constitution itself, and are woefully unprepared to think for ourselves about recent developments in its long and storied history. The Constitution: An Introduction is the definitive modern primer on the US Constitution. Michael Stokes Paulsen, one of the nation's most provocative and accomplished scholars of the Constitution, and his son Luke Paulsen, a gifted young writer and lay scholar, have combined to write a lively introduction to the supreme law of the United States, covering the Constitution's history and meaning in clear, accessible terms. Beginning with the Constitution's birth in 1787, Paulsen and Paulsen offer a grand tour of its provisions, principles, and interpretation, introducing listeners to the characters and controversies that have shaped the Constitution in the 200-plus years since its creation. Along the way, the authors provide correctives to the shallow myths and partial truths that pervade so much popular treatment of the Constitution, from school textbooks to media accounts of today's controversies, and offer powerful insights into the Constitution's true meaning. A lucid and engaging guide, The Constitution: An Introduction provides listeners with the tools to think critically and independently about constitutional issues - a skill that is ever more essential to the continued flourishing of American democracy. ungekürzt.

Cultish
The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power.What makes "cults" so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we're looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join-and more importantly, stay in-extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell's argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of "brainwashing." But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear-and are influenced by-every single day. Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities "cultish," revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven's Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of "cultish" everywhere.- Shop: buecher

Malignant: How Bad Policy and Bad Evidence Harm People with Cancer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
Each week, people read about new and exciting cancer drugs. Some of these drugs are truly transformative, offering major improvements in how long patients live or how they feel, but what is often missing from the popular narrative is that, far too often, these new drugs have marginal or minimal benefits. Some are even harmful. In Malignant, hematologist-oncologist Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad discusses about the many sobering examples of how patients are too often failed by cancer policy and by how oncology is practiced. Throughout this audiobook, Prasad illuminates deceptive practices, which:Promote novel cancer therapies long before credible data are available to support such treatmentExaggerate the potential benefits of new therapies, many of which cost thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollarsPrasad then critiques the financial conflicts of interest that pervade the oncology field, the pharmaceutical industry, and the US Food and Drug administration. This is a book about how the actions of human beings - our policies, our standards of evidence, and our drug regulation - incentivize the pursuit of marginal or unproven therapies at lofty and unsustainable prices. He takes us through how cancer trials are conducted, how drugs come to market, and how pricing decisions are made, asking how we can ensure that more cancer drugs deliver both greater benefit and a lower price.Ultimately, Prasad says:More cancer clinical trials should measure outcomes that actually matter to people with cancer.Patients on those trials should look more like actual global citizens.We need drug regulators to raise, not perpetually lower, the bar for approval.We need unbiased patient advocates and experts.This well-designed, opinionated, and engaging audiobook explains what we can do differently to make serious and sustained progress against can ungekürzt.

The Realization Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Embodied Spiritual Awakening, Hörbuch, Digital, 379min
A Step-By-Step Course in Embodied Spiritual Awakening It is possible to live more deeply, more intimately in touch with yourself and with the world around you. It is possible to experience your interconnection with everything, even as you express your own utter uniqueness. All it takes is a subtle inner attunement to your own body and mind. With The Realization Process, Dr. Judith Blackstone shares for the first time a complete audio training course in her original method for embodied spiritual awakening, through a series of transformational exercises taught here step by step. Attunement to "Fundamental Consciousness" At the heart of this work is what Dr. Blackstone calls fundamental consciousness - a primary dimension of being that is the basis of both our individual sense of self and the transcendence of our separateness. This is not something we can grasp conceptually; we need to touch it directly. "As fundamental consciousness, we pervade both the subject and the object of experience," she explains. "We move from imagination to actuality—to truly see, truly touch, truly hear." For the past 25 years in her psychotherapy practice, Dr. Blackstone has developed meditative practices for attuning to fundamental consciousness in oneself and in others. On The Realization Process, she guides you through beginner and advanced versions of these practices, including the core breath technique for accessing the body's central energetic pathway; seeing, hearing, and moving with fundamental consciousness; attuning to the three qualities of fundamental consciousness (awareness, emotion, and physical sensation); and relational exercises for healing and growth in intimate partnerships. Highlights Undoing the "holding patterns" that impede spiritual realization The subtle core - your entryway into fundamental consciousness The maturation of the ego How to stabilize and expand your spiri Language: English.

The economic effects of a virus pandemic can unequivocally be profound and can pervade every facet of the economy.

The Dangers of Consuming Mucus Producing Foods, Mucus Forming Foods That You Should Avoid Eating, and How to Minimize Mucus Production and Discharge Mucus from the Body , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 162min
This essay sheds light on the dangers of consuming mucus-producing foods, demystifies mucus-forming foods that you should avoid eating, explicates how to minimize mucus production, and delineates how to discharge mucus from the body. Moreover, the surfeit of simple-to-prepare and palatable, healthy food recipes for longevity are identified ,and the various deadly disease-causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are revealed in this essay. Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting severe chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart-healthy, brain-healthy, kidney-healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient-dense, alkaline, antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. The dangers of consuming mucus-producing foods are multitudinous and can be of dire consequence to your health. While mucus may help your body ward off “allergens, irritants, bacteria, viruses, dust” (“Mucus: The Good”, n.d.) and pathogens from entering the body's respiratory system, the overproduction of mucus can denote grave health issues. Mucus can help stave off infections and can be overly produced by consuming mucus-inducing foods or by being in an insalubrious environment that is tainted with “airborne pollutants, allergens, irritants” (“Mucus: The Good”, n.d.) and pathogens that pervade the air. Allergic reactions, viruses, and infections can also trigger excess mucus production. Having excess mucus accumulate in the airways of your respiratory system can be of dire consequence to your health. This not only creates a haven for bacteria to thrive, but it also preempts the cilia from discharging bacteria out of the body. Excess mucus production can render you more vulnerable to succumbing to “chest congestion, excessive congestion, respiratory tract infections, wet cough, frequent throat-clearing, strong cough, or chesty cough” (“Mucus: The Good"). ungekürzt.
