  Right Off the Bat: Baseball, Cricket, Literature, and Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min

  Are baseball and cricket two sports divided by a common language? Both employ bats, balls, and innings. Fans of both love statistics, revel in nostalgia, and use baffling jargon. In Right Off the Bat, baseball nut Evander Lomke and cricket buff Martin Rowe explain "their" sport to the other sport's fans - through anecdotes, diagrams, photographs, and a curve (or dipper) or two. Cricket and baseball share a parallel and occasionally intertwined history (the first international cricket match was played in the United States). Indeed, they have mirrored their countries' struggles with identity and race, and have expanded beyond the shores of their founding countries to become multinational sports commanding global followings that are, even now, challenging the future of both sports. Right off the Bat is the perfect present for fans of either sport, as well as a handy introduction to those who want to divine the deeper rhythms of play. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Evander Lomke, Martin Rowe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/002167/bk_acx0_002167_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Unbrainwashing Yourself: How to Deprogram and Free Yourself from Brainwashing, Mind Control, Manipulation, Negative Influence, Controlling People, Cults and Propaganda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min

  Never in the history of time has it been so simple to pass off opinion as fact and get 100 or 1,000 or 1,000,000 other people onboard with it. Despite having all of the information in the world available at the drop of a hat - and constantly competing for our attention - it's hard to differentiate between a well-meaning news article and a hard-hitting exposé of Britney Spears' sudden weight gain. With our senses being constantly assaulted with propaganda by everything from our electronic devices to our daily commutes to work, many of us are easily manipulated into beliefs and purchases we never wanted and can't explain how we got suckered into. Many more of us are left with an unhealthy cynicism of all institutions, from having our affections and loyalties constantly manipulated and tossed by the changing winds of public opinion and what is considered to be politically and socially correct thinking and behavior. The digital age has certainly opened up new avenues for mind control, brainwashing, manipulation, propaganda, and negative influence. This book, entitled Unbrainwashing Yourself by author Jim Foster, will cover, in detail, the different brainwashing tactics from our interpersonal relationships, religion, and cult followings to the military scare tactics, medical monopolies, the media, and corporate entities. More importantly, you will be given solutions for how to overcome this good-versus-evil battle for control of your mind, as you will learn, step by step, how to deprogram and free yourself from the clutches of brainwashing, mind control, manipulation, negative influence, controlling people, cults, and propaganda. ungekürzt.

Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels, that has propelled it into the cultural Hall of Fame and made it such a global phenomenon, with loyal fans from all nationalities, cultures, ages, genders, and even tastes?

We are YouTube content creators, podcasters, writers, novelists, designers, teachers, professors, techies, and therapists, and we have collaborated on this book after dedicating much of the past decade to better understanding and appreciating Game of Thrones.

  To the Best of Our Knowledge: What’s Hot and Why Not?, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

  In this hour, the Twitter trends list may seem to be a simple measure of what's on the minds of people around the globe. Not so, says Tarleton Gillespie. He's an information science professor at Cornell, and author of the upcoming book, The Politics of Platforms. Next, Liz Crawford is a scenario planner. She brings diverse culture watchers together, to imagine possible futures. Then she helps large corporations get ready for what may come. Jim Flemming talked with her.Then, Steve Paulson and Anne Strainchamps reviewed predictions from the millennium edition of The Futurist magazine. It’s published by the World Future Society, which “does not hold that the future is knowable, only changeable.”After that, Grant McCracken says that contemporary culture is getting noisier and noisier, as small social changes are being logged on a plethora of digital platforms. He told Steve Paulson that all that noise makes it difficult to listen for the deep melody of our culture and its future. McCracken teaches anthropology at MIT, where he wants to create a conceptual time machine. His latest book is Culturematic.Following that, from albums for small bands with cult followings, to the breakout megahit of Nirvana's Nevermind, musician and producer Butch Vig has seen musical fads ebb and flow. A few of the trends he helped to create transformed the music industry. But he says the digital revolution is obscuring the future of the business.Finally, the last word goes to Dr. Seuss. His Sneetches found out the hard way about trying to follow the latest fads. [Broadcast Date: January 13, 2011] Language: English.

  All the Pieces Matter: The Inside Story of The Wire® , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min

  The definitive oral history of the iconic and beloved TV show The Wire, as told by the actors, writers, directors, and others involved in its creation.Since its final episode aired in 2008, HBO's acclaimed crime drama The Wire has only become more popular and influential. The issues it tackled, from the failures of the drug war and criminal justice system to systemic bias in law enforcement and other social institutions, have become more urgent and central to the national conversation. The show's actors, such as Idris Elba, Dominic West, and Michael B. Jordan, have gone on to become major stars. Its creators and writers, including David Simon and Richard Price, have developed dedicated cult followings of their own. Universities use the show to teach everything from film theory to criminal justice to sociology. Politicians and activists reference it when discussing policy. When critics compile lists of the Greatest TV Shows of All Time, The Wire routinely takes the top spot. It is arguably one of the great works of art America has produced in the 20th century. But while there has been a great deal of critical analysis of the show and its themes, until now there has never been a definitive, behind-the-scenes take on how it came to be made. With unparalleled access to all the key actors and writers involved in its creation, Jonathan Abrams tells the astonishing, compelling, and complete account of The Wire, from its inception and creation through its end and powerful legacy.  ungekürzt.
