    American Detective: Behind the Scenes of Famous Criminal Investigations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min
    From the Roaring '20s to the 1970s, detectives reigned supreme in police departments across the country. In this tightly woven slice of true crime reportage, Thomas A. Reppetto offers a behind-the-scenes look into some of the most notable investigations to occur during the golden age of the detective in American criminal justice.From William Burns, who during his heyday was known as America’s Sherlock Holmes, to Thad Brown, who probed the notorious Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles, to Elliott Ness, who cleaned up the Cleveland police but failed to capture the “Mad Butcher” who decapitated at least a dozen victims, American Detective offers an indelible portrait of the famous sleuths and investigators who played a major role in cracking some of the most notorious criminal cases in US history. Along the way Reppetto takes us deep inside the detective bureaus that were once the nerve centers behind crime-fighting on the streets of America’s great cities, including the FBI itself, under the direction of America’s “top cop”, J. Edgar Hoover.The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Flavell.

    Akte X: Cold Cases - Die komplette 1. Staffel, Hörbuch, Digital, 466min
    Viele Jahre lang waren die FBI-Agenten Fox Mulder und Dana Scully in der X-Akten-Einheit tätig, einer kleinen Abteilung des Bureaus, die sich mit scheinbar unerklärlichen oder übernatürlichen Phänomenen beschäftigte. Und jetzt sind sie zurück... 14 Jahre nachdem Mulder und Scully ihren gemeinsamen Sohn William zur Adoption freigeben mussten, infiltrieren unbekannte Hacker die Datenbanken des FBI - und stehlen dabei nicht nur Informationen über alte, ungelöste Fälle der beiden, sondern finden auch ihre geheime Identität heraus. Director Skinner, immer noch beim FBI, ist alarmiert. Als ehemaliger Chef von Mulder und Scully beschließt er, die beiden zu warnen - und macht sie dabei kurzerhand wieder zu Agenten. Sie sollen herausfinden, wer und was tatsächlich hinter dem Hackerangriff steckt, und wie es sein kann, dass plötzlich immer mehr alte Feinde der X-Akten auftauchen, die allesamt längst tot waren. Schon bald wird klar, dass Mulder und Scully einer Verschwörung auf der Spur sind, die nicht nur die US Regierung und das berühmte Syndikat umfasst, sondern auch Kräfte, die nicht von dieser Welt zu sein scheinen...

    Afterlives of Data (eBook, ePUB)
    What our health data tell American capitalism about our value-and how that controls our lives.Afterlives of Data follows the curious and multiple lives that our data live once they escape our control. Mary F. E. Ebeling's ethnographic investigation shows how information about our health and the debt that we carry becomes biopolitical assets owned by healthcare providers, insurers, commercial data brokers, credit reporting companies, and platforms. By delving into the oceans of data built from everyday medical and debt traumas, Ebeling reveals how data about our lives come to affect our bodies and our life chances and to wholly define us.Investigations into secretive data collection and breaches of privacy by the likes of Cambridge Analytica have piqued concerns among many Americans about exactly what is being done with their data. From credit bureaus and consumer data brokers like Equifax and Experian to the secretive military contractor Palantir, this massive industry has little regulatory oversight for health data and works to actively obscure how it profits from our data. In this book, Ebeling traces the health data-medical information extracted from patients' bodies-that are digitized and repackaged into new data commodities that have afterlives in database lakes and oceans, algorithms, and statistical models used to score patients on their creditworthiness and riskiness. Critical and disturbing, Afterlives of Data examines how Americans' data about their health and their debt are used in the service of marketing and capitalist surveillance.

    Diplomacy in Crisis: The Trump Administration's Decimation of the State Department , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    This Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democratic Staff report catalogues significant challenges within the State Department. Employees there have reported that their morale, and their confidence in their senior leaders, have dropped precipitously. This report is based on an extensive Democratic staff analysis of the administration’s nominees, department vacancies, State Department Office of the Inspector General reports and findings, and Employee Viewpoint Survey data from 2016 to 2019.The first chapter examines the pattern of vacancies and acting officials that has characterized the Trump administration’s State Department, and the impact on US foreign policy. Chapter two highlights examples of the administration’s failure to adequately vet nominees and its practice of nominating candidates who lack the fitness to serve as US diplomats. Chapter three describes incidents of retaliation and attacks against diplomats and career public servants that have had a corrosive effect on morale. Chapter four presents employee survey results from selected bureaus demonstrating that a crisis in morale and lack of faith in leadership at the department has increased to staggering levels. It also shows how the Administration’s response to ongoing racial injustice affects the ability of US diplomats to fulfill their mission. Chapter five sets out a series of recommendations and guiding principles to start the rebuilding that must take place over the coming years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Williams.

    A Passion for Leadership: Lessons on Change and Reform from Fifty Years of Public Service , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
    From the former secretary of defense and author of the acclaimed number-one best-selling memoir Duty, a characteristically direct, informed, and urgent assessment of why big institutions are failing us and how smart, committed leadership can effect real improvement regardless of scale. Across the realms of civic and private enterprise alike, bureaucracies vitally impact our security, freedoms, and everyday life. With so much at stake, competence, efficiency, and fiscal prudence are essential, yet Americans know these institutions fall short. Many despair that they are too big and too hard to reform. Robert Gates disagrees. Having led change successfully at three monumental organizations - the CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defense - he offers us the ultimate insider's look at how major bureaus, organizations, and companies can be transformed, which is by turns heartening and inspiring and always instructive. With practical, nuanced advice on tailoring reform to the operative culture (we see how Gates worked within the system to increase diversity at Texas A&M); effecting change within committees; engaging the power of compromise ("in the real world of bureaucratic institutions, you almost never get all you want when you want it"); and listening and responding to your team, Gates brings the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to civic duty to inspire others to lead desperately needed change. ungekürzt.
