  My Survival in the Killing Fields , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min

  The genocide in Cambodia, which took place following the Khmer Rouge takeover in 1975, is difficult to comprehend. For many, particularly in the west, it is an ugly scar which taints the reputation of the country and the region as a whole. For others, and some who survived it and lived through the mass killings, starvation, and forced marches, it is something which has defined them in a way that cannot be quantified. My Survival in the Killing Fields tells the story of one incredible woman, Mao Sim, and the extraordinary journey she undertook as a young girl, emerging from the horror of the conflict which engulfed her country to try to find a new life amidst the pointless destruction. But her escape from one dangerous situation leads her into another, as she was to become an abused wife in a loveless arranged marriage. Alone, with nobody to confide in, Mao was forced to deal with senseless brutality for the second time in her life, fighting to maintain her dignity and even her sanity, while still grieving for the family she had lost, until finally she managed to break free and find the true happiness she had always sought. An inspirational book. One of fighting impossible odds, but one ultimately of hope. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Jackman.

  Ada Lovelace: A Life from Beginning to End: Biographies of Women in History, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min

  Discover the remarkable life of Ada Lovelace...As the sole legitimate child of Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was the progeny of literary royalty. Many might have naturally expected her to go into the field of her father, but instead of delving into poetry, she delved into the hard sciences of mathematics and analytic thinking. Even so, Ada still had the imagination of a lyricist when writing scientific treatises, at times referring to her own work as nothing short of “poetical science”. Everything she did, she did with passion and dogged determination. It was this drive that led Ada to look farther and search deeper than her contemporaries. Her unique vision led her to become one of the pioneers of the modern computer and one of the world’s first computer programmers. But what exactly do we know about Ada Lovelace, and how can it be quantified? Listen to this book to find out more about the 19th-century mathematician and writer Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace. Discover a plethora of chapters, such as:The Daughter of Lord and Lady ByronEarly Years of ParalysisThe World’s First Computer ProgrammerRumors and Laudanum AddictionA Grim PrognosisLast Days and DeathAnd much more!So, if you want a concise and informative audiobook on Ada Lovelace, simply scroll up and click the "buy now" button for instant access! ungekürzt.

  Prom Theory

  In this heartwarming and whip-smart YA spin on The Rosie Project, a teen girl is determined to prove that love, like all things, should be scientifically quantified…right? Iris Oxtabee has managed to navigate the tricky world of unspoken social interactions by reading everything from neuroscience journals to Wikipedia articles. Science has helped her fit the puzzle pieces into an understandable whole, and she's sure there's nothing it can't explain. Love, for example, is just chemistry. Her best friend Seth, however, believes love is one of life's beautiful and chaotic mysteries, without need for explanation. Iris isn't one to back down from a challenge; she's determined to prove love is really nothing more than hormones and external stimuli. After all, science has allowed humanity to understand more complex mysteries than that, and Iris excels at science. The perfect way to test her theory? Get the popular and newly single Theo Grant, who doesn't even know Iris exists, to ask her to prom. With prom just two weeks away, Iris doesn't have any time to waste, so she turns her keen empirical talents and laser-focus attention to testing her theory. But will proving herself correct cause her friendship with Seth—and the tantalizing possibility for something more—to become the failed experiment?

  Sociophysics Approach to Epidemics

  This book presents the fundamentals of evolutionary game theory and applies them to the analysis of epidemics, which is of paramount importance in the aftermath of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this monograph is to deliver a powerful tool to model and analyze the spread of an infectious disease during a pandemic as well as the human decision dynamics. The book employs a variant of the "vaccination game," in which a mathematical epidemiological model dovetails with evolutionary game theory. From a social physics standpoint, this book introduces an extended concept of the vaccination game starting from the fundamental issues and touching on the newest practical applications.The book first outlines the fundamental basis of evolutionary game theory, in which a two-player and two-strategy game, the so-called 2 × 2 game, and a multi-player game are concisely introduced, and the important issue of how social dilemmas are quantified is highlighted.Subsequently, the book discusses various recent applications of the extended concept of the vaccination game so as to quantitatively evaluate provisions other than vaccination, including practical intermediate protective measures such as mask-wearing, efficiency of quarantine compared with that of isolation policies for suppressing epidemics, efficiency of preemptive versus late vaccination, and optimal subsidy policies for vaccination.

  The Weather Experiment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 888min

  In 1865 a broken Admiral Robert FitzRoy locked himself in his dressing room and cut his throat. His grand meteorological project had failed. Yet only a decade later, FitzRoy's storm-warning system and 'forecasts' would return, the model for what we use today. In an age when a storm at sea was evidence of God's great wrath, 19th-century meteorologists had to fight against convention and religious dogma. But buoyed by the achievements of the Enlightenment, a generation of mavericks set out to explain the secrets of the atmosphere and learned to predict the future. Among them were Luke Howard, the first to classify the clouds; Francis Beaufort, who quantified the winds; James Glaisher, who explored the upper atmosphere in a hot-air balloon; Samuel Morse, whose electric telegraph gave scientists the means by which to transmit weather warnings; and FitzRoy himself, master sailor, scientific pioneer, and founder of the Met Office. Reputations were built and shattered. Fractious debates raged over decades between scientists from London to Galway, Paris to New York. Explaining the atmosphere was one thing, but predicting what it was going to do seemed a step too far. In 1854, when a politician suggested to the Commons that Londoners might soon know the weather 24 hours in advance, the House roared with laughter. Peter Moore's exhilarating account navigates treacherous seas and rough winds and uncovers the obsession that drove these men to great invention and greater understanding. ungekürzt.

  Humans Are Underrated: What High Achievers Know That Brilliant Machines Never Will , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min

  From the best-selling author of Talent Is Overrated, an extensive look at the essential human skills that can never be replaced by technology. In the economy of a few years from now, what will people do better than computers? Technology is rapidly invading fields that it once could not touch, driving cars better than humans do, predicting Supreme Court decisions better than legal experts, packing boxes, identifying faces, scurrying around hospitals delivering medications, all faster, more reliably, less expensively than people. In a world like that, how will we and our children achieve a rising standard of living? The real issue is what we humans are hardwired to do for and with one another, arising from our deepest, most essentially human abilities - empathy, social sensitivity, storytelling, humor, forming relationships, creativity. These are how we create value that all people hunger for, that is unique and not easily quantified. Individuals and companies are already discovering that these high-value abilities create tremendous competitive advantage - more devoted customers, stronger cultures, breakthrough ideas, more effective teams. They're discovering also that while many of us regard these abilities as innate traits - "he's a real people person", "she's naturally creative" - it turns out they can all be developed and are being developed in far-sighted organizations from software firms to the US Army to the Cleveland Clinic. To a far greater degree than most of us ever imagined, we already have what it takes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoff Colvin.
