Ninety Percent of Everything (eBook, ePUB)
Eye-opening and compelling, the overlooked world of freight shipping, revealed as the foundation of our civilizationOn ship-tracking websites, the waters are black with dots. Each dot is a ship; each ship is laden with boxes; each box is laden with goods. In postindustrial economies, we no longer produce but buy. We buy, so we must ship. Without shipping there would be no clothes, food, paper, or fuel. Without all those dots, the world would not work.Freight shipping has been no less revolutionary than the printing press or the Internet, yet it is all but invisible. Away from public scrutiny, shipping revels in suspect practices, dubious operators, and a shady system of "flags of convenience." Infesting our waters, poisoning our air, and a prime culprit of acoustic pollution, shipping is environmentally indefensible. And then there are the pirates.Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam to Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains, and investigates the harm that ships inflict on endangered whales.Sharply informative and entertaining, Ninety Percent of Everything reveals the workings and perils of an unseen world that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and our very civilization.- Shop: buecher

Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys is a new collection of corkscrewed tales from the author of Great Apes. The Guardian (London) describes Will Self as "a wayward genius", and you can find out why when you observe the author's pitiless dissection of the foibles of men, women, and the Volvo 760 Turbo. Self's world is a no-funhouse of warped mirrors. A man is seduced into a misanthropically charged symbiosis with the insects infesting his cottage; he has entered "Flytopia". In "A Story for Europe", a two-year-old English child utters his first halting words...in business German. In "Caring, Sharing", status-conscious New Yorkers navigate the perils of dating along with their very literal inner children. In "The Rock of Crack as Big as the Ritz", a black Londoner discovers an enormous rock of crack cocaine underpinning his house and quickly turns it into an efficient little empire. In the title story, a psychoanalyst strips away all the sangfroid of his professionalism to find beneath...precisely nothing. And in the short novella The Nonce Prize, a man framed for a sex crime he didn't commit finds that his only way out is to win a short-story competition. Sharp, funny, and packed with verbal fireworks, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys confirms yet again Will Self's stature as one of the most accomplished and original writers of his generation. ungekürzt.

Sea of Fire: Star Legions: The Ten Thousand, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
The elite mercenaries of the Black Legion have fought their way free of the clutches of the Imperial Fleet, but only at the cost of many warriors and ships. The survivors lead their battered ships out to the fringes of the Empire, but every day that passes gives the emperor time to mobilize ships and soldiers to bring the final blow against the exhausted mercenaries.They must continue on to the Sea of Fire, the deadly border region between Hayastan and the Carduchian wilderness or face utter annihilation at the emperor’s hands. Ancient stories tell of these dead sectors of space, vast ocean of emptiness, with few worlds or moons able to supply the fleet. The border itself is a place so deadly that the fiery storms can lash out and destroy even the strongest of ships, and there are rumors of mysterious and powerful warships infesting the region.Xenophon will have to use every ruse and stratagem he can come up with to give them any possibility of escape. They might even stand a chance if the leaders of the legion didn’t use every opportunity to enrich their position and turn on each other, even when in the middle of catastrophe.Sea of Fire is the fifth book in the Star Legions series from Michael G. Thomas, the best-selling author of the Star Crusades series. Previously published as the Black Legion series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elroy King.

Trojan Odyssey: A Dirk Pitt Adventure, Book 17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 853min
Long hailed as the grand master of adventure fiction, Clive Cussler has continued to astound with the intricate plotting and astonishing set pieces of his novels. Now, with a surprising twist, he gives us his most audacious work yet. In the final minutes of Valhalla Rising, Dirk Pitt discovered, to his shock, that he had two grown children he had never known, 23-year-old fraternal twins born to a woman he thought had died in an underwater earthquake. Both have inherited his love of the sea: the girl, Summer, is a marine biologist; the boy, himself named Dirk, is a marine engineer. And now they are about to help their father in the adventure of a lifetime. There is a brown tide infesting the ocean off the shore of Nicaragua. The twins are working in a NUMA underwater enclosure, trying to determine its origin, when two startling things happen: Summer discovers an artifact, something strange and beautiful and ancient; and the worst storm in years boils up out of the sky, heading straight not only for them but also for a luxurious floating resort hotel square in its path. The peril for everybody concerned is incalculable, and, desperately, Pitt, Al Giordino, and the rest of the NUMA crew rush to the rescue, but what they find in the storm's wake makes the furies of nature pale in comparison. For there is an all-too-human evil at work in that part of the world, and the brown tide is only a by-product of its plan. Soon, its work will be complete, and the world will be a very different place. Though if Summer's discovery is to be believed, the world is already a very different place. ungekürzt.

The Automotive Manifesto: How Brand Connection Can Save Retail Automotive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
If you’re a dealership (or any retail business, really) whose marketing relies on paid search and sell, sell, sell commercials to keep your business flourishing, you’re wrong. Connection is the new currency. Marketing, sales, and branding (yes - branding!) must radically shift to reflect how people actually engage with companies. It would be an understatement to say the auto industry has been slow to adapt. Make no mistake, change - spurred by the Amazons, Carvanas, and CarMaxes of the world - is upon us. If you’re not willing to be among the most innovative thinkers regarding brand connection, you’re simply not going to survive, let alone thrive. The Automotive Manifesto goes beyond conventional marketing, sales, and branding. It contains actionable tips and the thought processes behind them. Automotive retail needs a reminder that it didn’t conquer all of the challenges over the last hundred years to get beat by ones, zeros, and a smartphone. It cuts right through the brand rot that’s infesting automotive retail and offers real-time strategies to out-thrive the lagging 90% of dealers who can’t change with the times. By listening to this book, you will learn: How brand connection can transform both your internal and external experience Ways to rid your business the exhausting churn of 30 day sales cycles and tactics Powerful alternatives to common sales, fixed ops, and people strategies Branding insights, retail strategies, and business tips that get real, lasting results A new model of marketing focused around connection to your consumers An approach for the 10% of dealers who are focused on growth to take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity for brand expansion Paul J. Daly refines almost two decades of business leadership, retail auto, and brand marketing experience into the Manifesto, a no-nonsense guide to the connection that is actually ungekürzt.
