Drift into Failure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic, complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts, a succession of small, everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts, fixable properties, people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear, depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs, jackscrews, collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive, regulated societies, their connections proliferate, their interactions and interdependencies multiply, their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sidney Dekker.

80 Proof: The Rose Garden Arena Incident, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
Stephanie Banner is 20 years old the night Dakota Shane stands center stage while six bullets ring out through the stadium. Five deaths occur from those shots, although only four ever go on record. It happens in Portland, Oregon, at the Rose Garden Arena. The show is a sellout. For the eight days leading up to the concert, a handful of disparate lives intertwine as their world unravels. Among them the learning-disabled kid from East St. Louis trying to move past having his little sister die in his arms; his quick-witted father-figure who inadvertently finds himself duct-taped to a chair, hostage to a meth-addled lunatic; the son desperately struggling to rise above his abusive father; the slash-punk singer managing to score her band their best gig ever only to learn she may not have a band left to play it; the psychiatrist confronting her wasted life; the ex-LAPD detective now working in Portland finally facing the ghosts still lingering from his past; the bitter ex-wife of a DJ, still secretly listening to her ex's midnight radio show while drinking herself into a whiskey coma; the out of control daughter having unprotected sex with strangers hoping pregnancy might draw her parents' attention. And Dakota Shane: chart-topping superstar with a dark secret, caught in a media frenzy full of rumor, speculation, and lies, grappling to find any semblance of herself inside an identity forged by an extremely successful record company's marketing department. Each life is a story and the stories collide like silver balls in a pinball machine. A tale of passion, bravery, and redemption, The Rose Garden Arena Incident is ultimately about learning how to fix the parts of the world that are fixable and learning to live with the parts that aren't. A heartbreaking story that still leaves you with hope. A "serial thriller", The Rose Garden Arena Incident takes place over seven separate books. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Stop Liking Other Girls' F*cking Photos: A Handbook for Women to "Gently Toss" at Men , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min
Does your partner ever say things like "Why the f*ck did you like so-n-so's photo?" Does social media ever cause "issues" in your relationships? If so, lean in and listen carefully, because you're likely f*cking things up that are preposterously avoidable. And can we really blame you? You've had no generational wisdom to implement and no reference books to study from. The Art of War was published in 5th century BC. On the Origin of Species was published in 1859. But you? You're just like everyone else winging this social media sh*t with no guidance whatsoever. Well, find yourself a "safe space" and line up, because the book of our era is here....The first and only prescriptive self-help guide of its kind, this book will help you learn how to conduct yourself and your social media in a manner which is least likely to be utterly f*cking ruinous to your relationships. But it’s even more than that. I’ve also packed it with stuff to explain some of the “whys” of your less-than-helpful social behavior, tips on how to make simple adjustments in your romantic commitments that will yield vastly improved relationship health, and even some ambitious guidelines (with zero professional credentials whatsoever) on how to grow and improve your skills in cultivating yourself into, “You 2.0.”Because let's face it. Marriage is dying, and it’s dying fast. It’s been on the endangered list for years and while there’s no shortage of other crises today like “turtles eating plastic,” if we don’t start focusing on this very important one, then we’ll all be clipping six-pack rings to save those little buggers while we’re waiting for divorce court to begin. So let's fix whatever’s fixable with ourselves before Nietzsche comes back to declare that “marriage is dead, and we f*cking killed it.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Billy Holden.
