Capital Volume 3: A Critique of Political Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 3004min
After the detailed history and workings of the development of capitalism in Capital Volumes I and 2, Marx set out, in Capital Volume 3 to consider the future of capitalism, its direction and its inevitable fall from a series of crises and faults intrinsic to the system itself.Published in 1894, 11 years after the death of Marx himself, Capital Volume 3 was the product of the untiring and meticulous work of Friedrich Engels working from Marx’s outline and notes and carried the subtitle The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. In seven parts, Marx and Engels were determined to demonstrate that private property, competition and the market economy driven by the profit motive must lead to the demise of capitalism. They were convinced that only the curbing of the individual profit motive can lead to the end of the mass poverty and the destitution that was evident to Marx, Engels and many others concerned with the social inequities of civilisation continuing throughout history. The following comes from chapter 5: 'Capitalist production, when considered in isolation from the process of circulation and the excesses of competition, is very economical with the materialised labour incorporated in commodities. Yet, more than any other mode of production, it squanders human lives, or living-labour, and not only blood and flesh, but also nerve and brain. Indeed, it is only by dint of the most extravagant waste of individual development that the development of the human race is at all safeguarded and maintained in the epoch of history immediately preceding the conscious reorganisation of society.' The seven parts of Capital Volume 3 are: The conversion of Surplus-Value into Profit and the Rate of Surplus-Value into the Rate of Profit. Conversion of Profit into Average Profit. The Law of the Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall. Conversion of Commodity-C ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Le Page.

Under Fire!: Duel and Danger!: Corrie's War, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
Professor Anthony Barton was born and raised in a navy family. His mother served in the W.R.N.S. and his father in HMS Tiger. Barton’s stirring tales starring Corrie Harriman demonstrate his respect for the women and men who serve. He thinks it a great disgrace that the women who joined the navy in the time of Nelson have been belittled or ignored by historians and novelists. He says: "Hats off to those brave and untiring women! Their service was as exemplary as it was precarious". In his stirring tales about Corrie, the author seeks to set the record straight.Corrie is serving in the Royal Navy. She is an officer in the frigate Swift during the war with Napoleon. Because women are not supposed to serve, she has borrowed a spare uniform from her friend and fellow midshipman Tom Potts and has dressed herself as a man, having been encouraged to do so by the ship’s commanding officer, Captain Redburn, who is well aware that she is a woman in disguise.During her first night watch at sea, Corrie has taken the ship into a heavily fortified bay to burn three enemy coasters, but an unfortunate shift in the direction of the wind has left the ship trapped in the bay. Meanwhile the heavily gunned fort overlooking the bay has been manned by the French.Corrie has devised a way to outwit the enemy, but can she convince the captain and his crew to follow her plan?We find her deep in conversation with her friend Anne Keeper, otherwise known to the crew as "The White Lady". Corrie is rather surprised to learn that Anne is part of a world-wide network of woman working diligently behind the scenes to help win the war.Sail the seas in this action-packed naval adventure of historical proportions.England and France have declared war, and Corrie Harriman joins in on the action. Corrie’s War is a 16-part naval adventure series where Corrie joins the Royal Navy and must combat deadly enemies, navigate through hazardous storms, and eve ungekürzt. Language: English.

Deep Thinking
In May 1997, the world watched as Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player in the world, was defeated for the first time by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. It was a watershed moment in the history of technology: machine intelligence had arrived at the point where it could best human intellect. It wasn't a coincidence that Kasparov became the symbol of man's fight against the machines. Chess has long been the fulcrum in development of machine intelligence; the hoax automaton 'The Turk' in the 18th century and Alan Turing's first chess program in 1952 were two early examples of the quest for machines to think like humans - a talent we measured by their ability to beat their creators at chess. As the pre-eminent chessmaster of the 80s and 90s, it was Kasparov's blessing and his curse to play against each generation's strongest computer champions, contributing to their development and advancing the field. Like all passionate competitors, Kasparov has taken his defeat and learned from it. He has devoted much energy to devising ways in which humans can partner with machines in order to produce results better than either can achieve alone. During the twenty years since playing Deep Blue, he's played both with and against machines, learning a great deal about our vital relationship with our most remarkable creations. Ultimately, he's become convinced that by embracing the competition between human and machine intelligence, we can spend less time worrying about being replaced and more thinking of new challenges to conquer. In this breakthrough book, Kasparov tells his side of the story of Deep Blue for the first time - what it was like to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent - the mistakes he made and the reasons the odds were against him. But more than that, he tells his story of AI more generally, and how he's evolved to embrace it, taking part in an urgent debate with philosophers worried about human values, programmers creating self-learning neural networks, and engineers of cutting edge robotics. He surveys the serious questions facing a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on AI, creating an essential guide for the business readers and educators he speaks to by the thousands every year.- Shop: buecher

Power In The Blood
Buffy Sainte-Marie: kanadische Musikerin, Komponistin und Sozialaktivistin indianischer Abstammung.Produziert in Tornoto von Michael Philip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Healey), Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof) und Jon Levine (Melissa Etheridge, Serena Ryder) liegen auf -Power In The Blood-, ihrem ersten Album seit sechs Jahren, zwölf neue, inspirierte Songs der Songwriterin vor - über Kunst und Aktuelles, Politik an sich und die Welt der US-Ureinwohner im Besonderen. In den frühen 60er-Jahren betrat sie erstmals die Bühnen Nordamerikas: Buffy Sainte-Marie, geboren in einem indianischen Reservat in Kanada, aufgewachsen in den USA. Die Musikerin, Komponistin (Universal Soldier) und Schauspielerin avancierte zum Protestsong-Superstar. Mit unverkennbar schnellem, fast anklagendem Vibrato in der Stimme prangerte die Folksängerin das Leid der amerikanischen Ureinwohnern an - und wurde prompt vom US-Radio boykottiert. 1982 gewann sie mit dem von u. a. Joe Cocker gesungenen Lied -Up Where We Belong- einen Oscar, die Songs ihrer bislang 17 Alben wurden von Größen wie Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Neil Diamond und Kanye West interpretiert. One of the most original and important voices of our time. Equal parts activist, educator, songwriter, performer and visual artist, Buffy Sainte-Marie has throughout her life been an untiring champion for indigenous people and the environment, through her music, art, education projects, and by taking direct political action. She is one of the most enduring and popular Native American performers, her music having touched millions of people around the world. From her start in New York City's Greenwich Village in the early to 1960s alongside Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, Buffy made a name for herself as a gifted songwriter, writing hits for Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, and Neil Diamond. Her most well know song is the Oscar winning Up Where We Belong from An Officer and Gentlemen. But Buffy is most acclaimed for her song Universal Soldier that became one of the first anti-Vietnam war anthems to inspire a generation to protest. Power in the Blood - her first new album in 6 years, includes odes to the sanctity of life, the splendour of Mother Nature, and scything political and social commentary on songs like the title track, a collaboration with British electronic group Alabama 3, as well as the tracks Uranium War and Generation. The album was recorded in Toronto with three different producers, Michael Philip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Healey), Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof) and Jon Levine (Melissa Etheridge, Serena Ryder).

Take Me All Over The World

Erinnert das Label an Nany und Lee, Linda Ronstadt und Stan Getz.Das neue Album von The Yearning: Echos von Lounge und Chanson, von Bossa und Burt Bacharach Soundtracks. Erinnert das Label an Nany und Lee, Linda Ronstadt und Stan Getz. The untiring Joe Moore is back with a new reference from THE YEARNING, in his endless search for beauty in music. In fact, some of the songs on this mini album were conceived as continuations of the songs included on the last album, Evening Souvenirs , after the adventures with Lia Pamina and THE PERFECT KISS. Accompanied again by Maddie Dobie and Mark Kiff, Joe Moore continues addressing his usual inclinations: the chanson, chamber pop, bossa, and above all, the perfect song. And once again, he is handling all the production work, the recording, and the songwriting, and is playing almost all the instruments. How Do You Make Somebody Fall In Love? insists precisely on everything that Evening Souvenirs aimed toward: the fragile delicateness of Claudine Longet and Françoise Hardy, elevated by baroque arrangements and exquisite nuances.
