    Making It in America: A 12-Point Plan for Growing Your Business and Keeping Jobs at Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
    Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III. While one corporation after another exported their manufacturing to high-volume factories in low-wage locations overseas, Bassett's traditional wood bedroom furniture manufacturing company has not only survived but thrived making premium products right here in America. When everyone else was rushing for the exits, Bassett bet on the talent, dedication, and uncompromising quality of American workmanship. And he won. In Making It in America, Bassett tells you the secrets that have made Vaughan-Bassett Furniture so successful doing what everyone said couldn't be done. Drawing on rich life experience, including the everyday challenges of running a traditional manufacturing company, Bassett constructs a 12-point plan to achieve successful leadership in any business. These steps include: have a winning attitude, respect your employees, don't panic, reinvest constantly, and make the best of the worst. Bassett's story is about how those values underpinned his personal success and how they can revitalize America itself. In the face of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett's story is a blueprint for how America can revitalize its role as leader of the free world and how your success can be part of it. ungekürzt.

    The Devouring: A Billy Boyle World War II Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    A murder in wartime Switzerland reveals Swiss complicity with the Nazis and profiteering during World War II. Billy and Kaz are sent to neutral Switzerland to investigate the murder of a Swiss banking official with ties to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The US and Swiss governments are about to embark on diplomatic discussions regarding the Safehaven Protocols, which are aimed at limiting the amount of war materials exported by Switzerland to the Nazis, halting the laundering of looted gold, and preventing the postwar use of Nazi wealth for war criminals. With the talks about to begin, the OSS wants their involvement in the murder cleared up, as well as to protect the participants from any threat of violence. The plans go wrong from the beginning when Billy and Kaz crash-land in France. As they make their way through occupied territory to the border, they meet Anton Lasho, a member of the Sinti ethnic group, whose family was slaughtered by the Nazis, and who is, in turn, a one-man Nazi-killing machine. They'll need his help, because as they find once they make it across the border, Swiss banks are openly laundering gold "harvested" from concentration camps, and those that are profiting will do everything they can to protect their wealth and hide their dark secrets. ungekürzt.

    Jock Stein: The Definitive Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 846min
    Archie Macpherson's compelling biography reappraises Jock Stein's career and looks closely at the personality of the man whose shrewdness and cunning stamped him eventually with greatness. Stein hugely influenced the history of football between his debut as a professional player in Lanarkshire in 1942 and his death at the side of the pitch in 1985. He redesigned the landscape of the Scottish game as the great innovator and successfully exported his values outside the country when European football was in the grip of the ice-age of defensive football. In that time he generated unprecedented adulation, created bitter enemies, and inspired myths. He also took on the established canons of sectarianism by becoming Celtic's first Protestant manager.  The author worked his entire professional life as a contemporary of Stein and traveled the world with him on different ventures. He was present at nearly all of the great triumphs associated with the Celtic and Scotland manager. The trail Macpherson so engagingly follows is from Stein's early days in the coal mines, and the hard grind of provincial football, to the grandeur of the Lisbon European Cup Final in 1967 and beyond. In examining the strengths and weaknesses of the major figure, this biography will nevertheless lead no one to doubt the sincerity of Bill Shankly's ultimate accolade to Stein in Lisbon. "John, you are immortal now."    Reviews of this book include:"Quite simply this book is a gem." (Herald)  "A definitive testimony of Stein's remarkable life." (Sunday Mail)  "Masterful. A fitting tribute." (FourFourTwo) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Archie Macpherson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/214539/bk_acx0_214539_sample.mp3.

    If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English
    Winner of the Graywolf Press African Fiction Prize, a lush experimental novel about love as a weapon of empire. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, an Egyptian American woman and a man from the village of Shobrakheit meet at a café in Cairo. He was a photographer of the revolution, but now finds himself unemployed and addicted to cocaine, living in a rooftop shack. She is a nostalgic daughter of immigrants "returning" to a country she's never been to before, teaching English and living in a light-filled flat with balconies on all sides. They fall in love and he moves in. But soon their desire-for one another, for the selves they want to become through the other-takes a violent turn that neither of them expected. A dark romance exposing the gaps in American identity politics, especially when exported overseas, If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is at once ravishing and wry, scathing and tender. Told in alternating perspectives, Noor Naga's experimental debut examines the ethics of fetishizing the homeland and punishing the beloved . . . and vice versa. In our globalized twenty-first-century world, what are the new faces (and races) of empire? When the revolution fails, how long can someone survive the disappointment? Who suffers and, more crucially, who gets to tell about it?

    Fatal Deception: The Untold Story of Asbestos - Why It Is Still Legal and Still Killing Us, Hörbuch, Digital, 391min
    At first glance, the events in this book may seem equal parts science fiction and legal thriller. Unfortunately, this is a true story of blinding greed, cruel deceit, unfortunate circumstance, and powerful human tragedy. It has villains and heroes, but it does not yet have a good ending. Something's wrong in Libby, Montana. Residents are dying at a rate 60 times higher than the national average from a battery of insidious diseases, and they will continue to suffer for decades to come. The cause: a so-called miracle mineral that generations of families felt thankful for, until they discovered that the "miracle" was too good to be true - and that the town's disturbing mortality rate was hardly an accident. The scope of the treachery goes far beyond Libby. Even before the dust had settled following the September 11 terrorist attacks, those who live and work in lower Manhattan were voicing well-founded concerns about air quality around Ground Zero. Tests conducted at the site yielded conflicting results - and possibly evidence of a continuing corporate and governmental cover-up that mirrors a pattern of deception threatening not only the physical health of millions of Americans but the financial stability of our economy.In 1989, the EPA banned the manufacture, importation, processing, and distribution of commercial asbestos - but the ban didn't hold. Asbestos is big business, rivaling tobacco in its profitability. By 1991, powerful corporate lobbyists succeeded in having the ban overturned. Today, asbestos remains an ingredient in more than 3,000 products on sale in the United States and many more that are exported to developing nations around the globe. Language: English.

    Blood Diamonds: The Controversial History of Mining Operations in Africa That Subsidize Conflicts Across the Continent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    The commercial exploitation of Sierra Leonean diamonds began in the early 1930s, in the Kono District in the east of the country. The first discoveries had been made by a British-held concern called Consolidated African Selection Trust, or CAST, in which a British shareholder body, Selection Trust Limited, shared a significant interest with the diamond giant, De Beers. Transparency, of course, was not by any means absolute, but under British colonial oversight, the movement of diamonds out of the country was regulated and royalties channeled reasonably appropriately. In the past, all diamond mining in Sierra Leone had fallen under the control of the Sierra Leone Selection Trust - or SLST - a private investor body with exclusive rights to mine diamonds in Sierra Leone. By the mid-1950s and 1960s, illegal and illicit mining had taken over large areas of production. Figures vary, but by the 1960s, one can assume a figure of upwards of 100,000 illegal miners, both domestic and foreign, were active in the Kono District. Armed groups began to appear, challenging private SLST security, eventually fermenting a situation of anarchy under which regulated and taxed diamond production diminished to a trickle. Naturally, the corruption was at its most pervasive and creative surrounding diamonds. The industry was effectively criminalized, becoming the basis of a patrimonial shadow system geared toward sustaining wealth and power at its center. Distrustful of his own countrymen and tribal opponents, Stevens handed off much of the day-to-day business of diamonds to Lebanese businessmen who had been a somewhat anomalous presence in Sierra Leone since the end of the 19th century. From a peak of over two million carats officially exported in 1970, legitimate diamond exports dropped to 595,000 carats in 1980 and 48,000 carats in 1988. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ayurveda: The Complete Beginner's Guide: Discover Principles of Self-Healing, Life Balance, Natural Remedies to Prevent Disease. Includes Healing, Weight Loss Recipes, Yoga, Aromatherapy, Meditation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
    Ayurveda is a prehistoric medical practice originated in India that has found its way into alternative contemporary practices around the globe, applying herbal compounds that are often composed of up to 50 different plants and sometimes other substances - even metals, which made this whole health system become questionable, since the heavy metals included are toxic to the human body, but then laboratory experimentations have shown that its remedies can be fused into health care systems from the western hemisphere. These herbs are not only ingested orally but sometimes rubbed on skin externally. Ayurveda also prescribes oil massages and behavioral changes, which sometimes include psychological and philosophical approaches. The core essence of the whole Ayurvedic system is to balance the health of a person in all directions; hence, diet upgrades are also recommended. Another keen aspect of Ayurveda covered in this book is the three doshas theory. This attempts to explain the differences in people and what is most suitable for who, what causes what, and what can lead to a relief from what. In very practical and applicable instances, Ayurveda is explained to its very core, with multiple highlights of the lifestyle directions that can be beneficial to every “dosha" type. With the practices in the field, the benefits cannot be underestimated because of the vast proofs of the efficiency and longevity over time, both culturally and even in the exported practice in different places around the globe. Also, the art has evolved a lot over the years, from ancient practices to well documented modern techniques. It is of no doubt that the contents are more than just mere concepts. Generally, this book serves as a map through the terrain of Ayurveda in a way understandable by everyone. ungekürzt.

    Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire
    From Pulitzer Prize-winning historian: a searing study of the British Empire that probes the country's pervasive use of violence throughout the twentieth century and traces how these practices were exported, modified, and institutionalized in colonies around the globe Sprawling across a quarter of the world's land mass and claiming nearly seven hundred million people, Britain's twentieth-century empire was the largest empire in human history. For many Britons, it epitomized their nation's cultural superiority, but what legacy did the island nation deliver to the world? Covering more than two hundred years of history, Caroline Elkins reveals an evolutionary and racialized doctrine that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve the nation's imperial interests. She outlines how ideological foundations of violence were rooted in the Victorian era calls for punishing recalcitrant "natives," and how over time, its forms became increasingly systematized. And she makes clear that when Britain could no longer maintain control over the violence it provoked and enacted, it retreated from empire, destroying and hiding incriminating evidence of its policies and practices. Drawing on more than a decade of research on four continents, Legacy of Violence implicates all sides of Britain's political divide in the creation, execution, and cover-up of imperial violence. By demonstrating how and why violence was the most salient factor underwriting Britain's empire and the nation's imperial identity at home, Elkins upends long-held myths and sheds new light on empire's role in shaping the world today.
