  Teaching Kids to Care: Nurturing Character and Compassion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min

  Dreaming about a child's future begins long before the child is actually born. We wish for our children to be happy, successful, well adjusted, and healthy. Unfortunately, the world sends mixed messages, and children do not just download these qualities. How do we as parents ensure that our children have the empathy and integrity that we dreamed they would? How do we fight the all too human attributes of selfishness, self-absorption, complacency, bullying, and isolation and teach children to care? The award-winning Kids Korps founders present parents with a fresh framework and the tools necessary to shape children into productive, well-adjusted, compassionate individuals. By focusing on the five Touchstones, they offer ways to surround their children with actions and messages designed to strengthen character, build self-esteem, and develop inner contentment. ungekürzt.

  Disturbances in the Field , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1124min

  Lynne Sharon Schwartz's critically beloved novel about family, tragedy, and philosophy. The field is all around us. It's our needs and our wants. This is what George tells Lydia. A disturbance, however, is something that keeps us from grasping and attaining the things we need. Usually, we can adapt to these disturbances and move forward. But, what happens if a disturbance becomes too great to move past? In this entrancing tale of loss and understanding, acclaimed author Lynne Sharon Schwartz plots the course of a woman's life, through the cycles of love, loss, and acceptance. Lydia's early life is marked by calm constants: a house in Cape Cod, a philosophy group in college. These remain her touchstones as she becomes a busy wife, mother, and music teacher. But when her family's world is suddenly shattered, she struggles to regain her equilibrium. Will she be able to find her way in such a radically altered field? ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Get Rich or Diabetes, Hörbuch, Digital, 55min, (USK 18)

  Get Rich or Diabetes, comedian Dejan Tyler’s debut album, gives snapshots of real life, for real people, rendered in ridiculous scenarios. Dejan Tyler celebrates the lower-middle class with sharp, detailed, flavorful writing. He elevates living “on the come up”, being broke, getting by, into rich, textured hilarity. The comedian is supremely talented at evoking cultural touchstones, like fast food mystery meat or Dollar Store condoms, while remaining true to the voices and personalities that inspire him. Dejan Tyler keeps it real: real funny, real authentic, real inspired. Get Rich or Diabetes is an unflinching, unassuming, and unrelenting good time.Filtering everything from sleep apnea to Chinese food through his personal identities “thug” and “nerd”, Dejan Tyler gives new meaning to the term “biracial”. This dual perspective, clashing yet complimentary, a mashup of distinct codes, lingo, and values, frames Dejan’s wholly unique and effectively universal sense of humor. You won’t hear a more “hood” stance on magic, nor a more “geek” view on gangs than on Get Rich or Diabetes. Dejan Tyler grounds fantasy in realness, embellishes reality as fantasy, and brings high concepts down to earth for brilliant, well-crafted, relatable comedy. Language: English. Narrator: Dejan Tyler. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/roar/000697/pf_roar_000697_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Story of Motown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min

  In January 1959, Berry Gordy borrowed $800 from his family and founded the Detroit-based record company that in less than a decade was to become the largest black-owned business in the United States. It also became one of the most productive and influential producers of popular music anywhere in the world.The Story of Motown is the story of Berry Gordy's triumph over powerful, established financial interests, entrenched popular taste, bigotry, and racism. By inventing a sound that appealed to whites as well as blacks, and that was immediately identifiable to an entire generation of listeners, Gordy demonstrated his genius as a producer; by the sheer force of his will, he demonstrated that a black man from the urban ghetto could aspire to and conquer the heights of traditional American business, including the movie business. Unfortunately, while doing all of this, he also found new ways to exploit his talented artists and eventually lost many of them to companies that paid them more. The Story of Motown is the story of the rise and fall of one of the most important cultural touchstones in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden.

  The Essential Chomsky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1345min

  In a single volume, the seminal writings of the world's leading philosopher, linguist, and critic, published to coincide with his 80th birthday. For the past 40 years Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States. Chomsky's many best-selling works - including Manufacturing Consent, Hegemony or Survival, Understanding Power, and Failed States - have served as essential touchstones for dissidents, activists, scholars, and concerned citizens on subjects ranging from the media to human rights to intellectual freedom. In particular, Chomsky's scathing critiques of the U.S. wars in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East have furnished a widely accepted intellectual inspiration for antiwar movements over nearly four decades. The Essential Chomsky assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts over the past 40 years. Here is an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of Chomsky's thought. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Stillwell.

  Lost Allusions: Making Sense of Dysfunctional Company Cultures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 607min

  Every get the feeling that your company culture is completely insane? That your organisation is inherently dysfunctional and seems to emphasize pointless drama over getting work done? The good news is that you’re right: Your company’s culture is screwed up. The bad news is that most everyone else’s company culture is throwing sparks too. Culture is the product of the people that you work with, and people are...really quite interesting, given all the ways that well-meaning people can screw things up.Lost Allusions, is the fourth collection of annotated leadership columns from Keil Hubert, the American correspondent for London-based Business Technology magazine.This audiobook includes 25 columns from Business Reporter online, each featuring extensive lessons-learned, insights, and advice.In this audiobook, Keil deconstructs what workplace cultures are, how they affect workers, how they warp into destructive environments, and (most importantly) how you can influence your own office culture for the better. All of these columns are told and explained in terms of pop-culture touchstones - the "allusions" are to books and films that help to make sense of the ideas presented in this sociological exploration. In Lost Allusions, Keil Hubert delivers his longest and densest book to-date, written with his usual dry Texan sense of humour. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Nolan.
