Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications, Hörbuch, Digital, 723min

We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly, is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms? You'll learn the answer - and much more - in this briskly paced series of 24 easily understood lectures from an award-winning teacher, author, and scientist. Professor Sadava unlocks DNA's mysteries as he explains what the science of genetics is and guides you through decades of cutting-edge research, scientific discovery, and genetics' weighty implications for us as individuals and as a society. Professor Sadava draws on examples from his own research to show how understanding genetics allows us to improve medical treatment and nutrition, vastly improving our health and quality of life. You'll also learn how understanding genetics is a critical step toward understanding human identity, itself. For examining our DNA - how it works and what happens when something goes wrong - enables us to see the roots of how our bodies work, why we get sick, and how traits are passed through families. Enjoy this rare opportunity to peer over the shoulder of a working scientist, learning how he puzzles through the problems of genetics to find meaningful, real-world solutions that can not only save an individual life but also enhance the quality of life for everyone.

The Creative's Curse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 164min

All creatives are cursed. And it isn't the sexy kind of cursed like where you turn into a werewolf or something - I think we can all agree that'd be pretty awesome. No, it's the subtle kind of curse. It's the kind you might not notice until you're 46 years old at a desk job wondering why you let the best years of your life slip away. It's the kind that keeps you paralyzed at 18 when you know you have something special to offer the world but everyone says you are too young. This book is not about overcoming that curse. It's not about outgrowing the curse. It's about learning to live with it. What if loneliness is not something to be defeated, but an incredible source of power and inspiration? What if that vision you have that nobody else can see is the very thing which will set you apart from the rest of the world? What if what makes you weird also makes you unique? The creative's curse is real, it's here to stay, and it shows up in all three phases of the creative journey: Discovery: When the voices in your head are telling you nothing you create will ever be good enough. Discipline: When you start to taste success, but freeze with the challenge of replicating that success. Destiny: When you feel you've reached your artistic potential, and now have to figure out what on earth to do with your life. Because the creative is afraid of success and failure and obscurity and fame all at the same time. He is beautiful and bold and timid and courageous. He is unique to the core, so will never be understood by anyone. This is the creative's curse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Brison.

A Piece of the Sun: The Quest for Fusion Energy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 611min

Our rapidly industrializing world has an insatiable hunger for energy and conventional sources are struggling to meet demand. Oil is running out, coal is damaging our climate, many nations are abandoning nuclear, yet solar, wind, and water will never be a complete replacement. The solution, says Daniel Clery in this deeply researched and revelatory book, is to be found in the original energy source: the Sun itself. There, at its center, the fusion of 620 million tons of hydrogen every second generates an unfathomable amount of energy. By replicating even a tiny piece of the Sun’s power on Earth, we can secure all the heat and energy we would ever need. Nuclear fusion scientists have pursued this simple yet extraordinary ambition for decades. Skeptics say it will never work but, as A Piece of the Sun makes clear, large-scale nuclear fusion is scientifically possible - and has many advantages over other options. Fusion is clean, green and virtually limitless and Clery argues passionately and eloquently that the only thing keeping us from proving its worth is our politicians’ shortsightedness. The world energy industry is worth trillions of dollars, divert just a tiny fraction of that into researching fusion and we would soon know if it is workable. Timely and authoritative, A Piece of the Sun is a rousing call-to-arms to seize this chance of avoiding the looming energy crisis. Daniel Clery studied theoretical physics at York University, U.K. For more than two decades, he has edited and written for some of the world’s top science magazines, including Physics World, New Scientist and Science. As a news editor for Science magazine since 1993, Clery has covered many of the biggest science news stories of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hagen.

Book of Revelation Audiobook: From the Revised Geneva Translation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min

This is the full, uninterrupted reading of the Book of Revelation, performed by number-one best-selling faith-based narrator Steve Cook. The word Revelation, according to Webster’s, is “[A]n act of revealing or communicating divine truth...something that is revealed by God to humans...and an apocalyptic writing addressed to early Christians of Asia Minor and included as a book in the New Testament - called also Apocalypse”. The Apostle John was given this Revelation while he was exiled for his faith on the Island of Patmos. Legend has it that John was the only one of Jesus’ 12 original disciples (including Matthias, not Judas) who was not martyred for his faith. We can see that his living also came with the great responsibility of “penning” this book, along with several epistles and the Book of John in the New Testament. In this stunning audiobook performance, Mr. Cook reads the text with the passion and anointing God’s holy word requires, without sacrificing professionalism or clarity. The Book of Revelation is a prophetic, supernatural look into the future of end-times and apocalyptic events; events that filmmakers have (and will) fall short of replicating in any motion picture. Hear (and “see” with your mind’s eye) how many of these the allegorical references, written roughly 2,000 years ago, are coming to pass; references like chip technology and cryptocurrency, which is poised to be used by both God and the Antichrist - Revelation 13:17. Get ready to be taken up to heaven, to see and hear the celestial worship of God, and then back down into this apocalyptic era of events here on earth. God bless you as you listen, and enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Cook. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/126251/bk_acx0_126251_sample.mp3.

Painting Time

Named a most anticipated book of 2021 by The Guardian The Millions An aesthetic and existential coming-of-age novel exploring the apprenticeship of a young female painter In Maylis de Kerangal's Painting Time, we are introduced to the burgeoning young artist Paula Karst, who is enrolled at the famous Institut de Peinture in Brussels. Unlike the friends she makes at school, Paula strives to understand the specifics of what she's painting-replicating a wood's essence or a marble's wear requires method, technique, and talent, she finds, but also something else: craftsmanship. She resolutely chooses the painstaking demands of craft over the abstraction of high art. With the attention of a documentary filmmaker, de Kerangal follows Paula's apprenticeship, punctuated by brushstrokes, hard work, sleepless nights, sore muscles, and long, festive evenings. After completing her studies at the Institute, Paula continues to practice her art in Paris, in Moscow, then in Italy on the sets of great films, all as if rehearsing for a grand finale: a job working on Lascaux IV, a facsimile reproduction of the world's most famous paleolithic cave art and the apotheosis of human cultural expression. An enchanted, atmospheric, and highly aesthetic coming-of-age novel, Painting Time is an intimate and unsparing exploration of craft, inspiration, and the contours of the contemporary art world. As she did in her acclaimed novels The Heart and The Cook, Maylis de Kerangal unravels a tightly wound professional world to reveal the beauty within.

American Culture and Society: A Book to Know the USA , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

Stuart Hall has wrote that social character is definitely not a "fixed quintessence...lying unaltered outside history and culture", and isn't "[a] for the last time...to which we can make some last and total Return", yet is "built through memory, dream, account and fantasy...made inside the talk of history and culture", and consequently can't be basically characterized or "recuperated" like some lost, bona fide being (in Rutherford 1990: 226). To think about the possibility of social character, in this manner, is to look at the lines and talks of its development and to perceive the presence inside it of numerous implications. As the presentation recommended, the USA is where various personalities mix and impact, a gathering, an variety, continually delivering and replicating new selves and trans-shaping old ones and, in this manner, can't profess to have a solitary, shut character with a particular arrangement of qualities. A few Americans, be that as it may, incline toward the idea of character to be authoritative, fixed and obviously encompassed by unmistakable limits and definitions. For instance, some would mind to consider white, male and hetero as the standard proportion of "Americanness", with a deep regard for the banner and a solid feeling of local character, say, toward the South or to Louisiana or Boston. Nonetheless, these are ideological places that are not shared or agent of the country in general; to be sure, no arrangement of convictions or qualities can be, and this is accurately the point. Rather, America must be deciphered or 'read' as a perplexing, multifaceted content with a rich cluster of various characters and occasions, inside which exist many challenging voices recounting to different and various stories. Furthermore, likewise with any such content, there are interior strains, shows and inconsistencies which contribute, without a doubt, establish what may be called its personality. ungekürzt.

WikiLeaks and the Age of Transparency , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min

The United States government is diligent - some might say to the point of obsession - in defending its borders against invaders, be they terrorists, natural disasters, or illegal immigrants. Now we are told a small, international band of renegades armed with nothing more than laptops presents the greatest threat to the US regime since the close of the Cold War. WikiLeaks' release of a massive trove of secret official documents has riled politicians from across the spectrum. The WikiLeaks organizers themselves "are going to have blood on their hands" (US Senator Joe Lieberman); it is the "9/11 of world diplomacy" (Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini); and they present "a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States" (US Congressman Peter King). Even noted free-speech advocate Floyd Abrams says that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange "may yet have much to answer for" and blames him for the certain defeat of federal shield-law legislation protecting journalists. Hyperbole, hysteria? Certainly. We heard much the same in 1971, when Daniel Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times (ironically, Abrams was the Times' lawyer in that case). Welcome to the age of transparency. But political analyst and writer Micah Sifry argues that WikiLeaks is not the whole story; it is a symptom, an indicator of an ongoing generational and philosophical struggle between older, closed systems, and the new open culture of the Internet. "What is new," he writes, "is our ability to connect, individually and together, with greater ease than at any time in human history. As a result, information is flowing more freely into the public arena, powered by seemingly unstoppable networks of people all over the world cooperating to share vital data and prevent its suppression." Despite Assange's arrest, the publication of secret documents continues, and websites replicating WikiLeaks' activities have sprung ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Schwartz.

The Social Organism: A Radical Understanding of Social Media to Transform Your Business and Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min

From visionary tech entrepreneur Oliver Luckett and MIT Media Lab's Michael J. Casey, a groundbreaking, must-hear theory of social media - how it works, how it's changing human life, and how we can master it for good and for profit. In barely a decade, social media has positioned itself at the center of 21st-century life. The combined power of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Vine has helped topple dictators and turned anonymous teenagers into celebrities overnight. In the social media age, ideas spread and morph through shared hashtags, photos, and videos, and the most compelling and emotive ones can transform public opinion in mere days and weeks, even attitudes and priorities that have persisted for decades. How did this happen? The scope and pace of these changes have left traditional businesses - and their old-guard marketing gatekeepers - bewildered. We simply do not comprehend social media's form, function, and possibilities. It's time we did. In The Social Organism, Luckett and Casey offer a revolutionary theory: Social networks - to an astonishing degree - mimic the rules and functions of biological life. In sharing and replicating packets of information known as memes, the world's social media users are facilitating an evolutionary process just like the transfer of genetic information in living things. Memes are the basic building blocks of our culture, our social DNA. To master social media - and to make online content that impacts the world - you must start with the social organism. With the scope and ambition of The Second Machine Age and James Gleick's The Information, The Social Organism is an indispensable guide for business leaders, marketing professionals, and anyone serious about understanding our digital world - a guide not just to social media but to human life today and where it is headed next.

The Bone Fire

A New York Times Editors' Choice "Anything can happen in The Bone Fire-and everything does. Dragomán puts us in the middle of our most wondrous and terrifying childhood fairytales, somehow unhazing their dreaminess and replicating their electrifying uncertainty all at once." -Téa Obreht, bestselling author of Inland and The Tiger's Wife "[Dragomán's] telling is not just magic, but enchantment." -Rebecca Makkai, New York Times Book Review From an award-winning and internationally acclaimed European writer: A chilling and suspenseful novel set in the wake of a violent revolution about a young girl rescued from an orphanage by an otherworldly grandmother she's never met Thirteen-year-old Emma grows up under an Eastern European dictatorship where oppression seems eternal. When her dissident parents die in a car accident, she's taken to an orphanage, only to be adopted soon after by a grandmother she has never met. While her homeland is shattered by a violent revolution, Emma-like a witch's apprentice-comes to learn the ways of her new grandmother, who can tell fortunes from coffee dregs, cause and heal pain at will, and shares her home with the ghost of her husband. But this is not the main reason her grandmother is treated with suspicion and contempt by most people in town. They suspect her or her husband of having been involved in the disappearance of top secret government files. As Emma learns her family history, she begins to see that, for her grandparents, the alternate reality shaped by magic was their only form of freedom. The Bone Fire is a political Gothic, carried along by the menace and promise of a fairy tale.
