    Vinny Gorgeous (eBook, ePUB)
    A vain man of good looks but no family ties to the Mob, Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano worked his way up to acting boss of the Bonanno crime family, becoming its leader when official boss Joseph Massino went to prison in 2003. When the Mafia was crawling with secret operatives and informants caving to government pressure to flip, Basciano steadfastly obeyed the code of La Cosa Nostra. "I got faith in one guy," he said during a secretly taped meeting. That man was Massino, head of the Bonanno borgata. But for all his loyalty, Basciano was still a hot-headed, cold-blooded killer, which ultimately led to his arrest and downfall. Then in a remarkable betrayal that rocked the Five Families to their foundations, Massino secretly cooperated with the FBI-the first head boss ever to roll over. As a result, Basciano faced the death penalty, but a federal jury, disturbed by the prosecution's use of deadly criminal informants, reached a surprising verdict. Here from veteran crime author Anthony M. DeStefano comes the riveting story of the last true believer in the Mob's cult of brotherhood and his betrayal at the hands of the only man he ever trusted.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Challenge Climate Change, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Stewart Brand, founder of the Whole Earth Catalogue, says it's time to get pragmatic about managing climate change. He tells Anne Strainchamps why he no longer opposes nuclear power and they discuss other aspects of his new philosophy. His new book is Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.Next, many in the environmental movement disagree with Brand. Paxus Calta is one. He's been an anti-nuclear activist for over 30 years. He gives his reasons for his position. Calta is Chair of the board of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, an umbrella organization of some 300 grass-roots organizations.Then, James Lovelock created the Gaia Theory. His latest book is The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning. Lovelock tells Steve Paulson that our planet is a self-regulating system that will carry on without people and that it is too late to reverse global warming. Humanity will just have to live with the consequences, if it can. After that, novelist Margaret Atwood talks about her latest book, The Year of the Flood, with Steve Paulson. The book posits a new religion formed after most life on Earth has been obliterated.And finally, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are The Yes Men.

    brand eins audio: Scheitern, Hörbuch, Digital, 412min
    Hören Sie in diesem Audiomagazin alle Beiträge zum Schwerpunktthema "Scheitern" Wird schon schiefgehen: Scheitern ist Teil des Lebens und Voraussetzung für den Fortschritt. In seinem Essay spricht sich Wolf Lotter für mehr Mut zum Risiko aus. Papier ist geduldig: Seit Jahrzehnten soll das deutsche Steuersystem reformiert werden, doch nichts tut sich. Das liegt vor allem daran, dass die Politik gar kein ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Reform hat, wie Dirk Böttcher in seinem Report erklärt. Wenn ihr bleibt, seid's ihr Helden: Eine Bank abzuwickeln gilt als trostlose Angelegenheit. Umso erstaunlicher, dass die Mitarbeiter der slowenischen Factor Banka das ganz anders sehen. In ihrer Reportage untersucht Patricia Döhle, woran das liegt #google #fail: Google hat sich den Ruf eines Alleskönners erarbeitet. Dabei geht dort einiges schief - das gehört zur Unternehmenskultur. Steffan Heuer und Thomas Ramge schauen in ihrer Analyse hinter die Kulissen des Internet-Giganten. Weiter, immer weiter: Es gibt Schlachten, die können nicht gewonnen werden. Oliver Link stellt drei Menschen vor, die trotzdem kämpfen. Eine Porträt-Reihe. Chefin a.D: Ihre wichtigsten Mitarbeiter kündigten, wechselten zur Konkurrenz und nahmen das Gros der Kunden gleich mit. Brigitte Hartmann fühlt sich trotzdem frei wie nie. Eine Geschichte von Mischa Täubner. Erfolg durch Misserfolg: Ob Teflon, der schiefe Turm von Pisa oder Porzellan - viele Errungenschaften waren so nicht geplant. Katharina Kraft hat sich fünf von ihnen genauer angesehen. Der Mensch ist ein zähes Tier: Was uns nicht umbringt, macht uns stärker, sagt der Volksmund. Der eine kann mit Krisen umgehen, der andere nicht, behaupten Resilienz-Forscher. Der Psychologe George Bonanno hält beides für falsch.

    Brooklyn Italian: Remembering Williamsburg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    Brooklyn Italian: Remembering Williamsburg will take you on a journey back in time. To a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, called Williamsburg. From the beginning of its existence in 1638 to present day, through the rise of industry, two world wars, the Depression of the late 1920s, the rise of the mafia and the immigrants who settled there in search for a better life. In their own words, long-time residents tell their stories of a time when on summer evenings, family and friends gathered on stoops to talk about the happenings of the day or just to share a cup of coffee, when children played stick ball, jacks, and hopscotch till the street lamps came on.... When a handshake meant trust and respect was earned. They came for a better life for themselves and their children. Many enclaves with cultural differences, yet sharing one vision: to pursue the American dream. The freedom to choose, to become, to survive. While notables such as Corning Ware, Standard Oil, and Domino Sugar found Williamsburg to be a profitable place to call home, other notables were making their mark in Williamsburg as well such as the Bonanno family underboss Carmine Galante and the infamous Bugsy Siegel and Alfonse Capone. In their own words, long-time residents of Williamsburg Brooklyn share their life history in letters telling the world what it was like living during the Great Depression, WWII, poverty, and survival. As with each generation change is inevitable and it’s change that allows us to pass on the stories of the generations before, preserving the past to become an integrated part of our future. ungekürzt.
