Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
The fifth Dinosaur Lake bookThe predator dinosaurs, amphibious, land-crawlers, air flyers, small and large, were dead - dead in all the forests, mountains, deserts, towns, and cities of America and across the planet. They were still hunted, sought, and exterminated when found, and these rogue beasts were becoming rarer every day. The humans' dinosaur killing serum and extermination practices had worked far better than anyone had prayed, and they had eventually freed the planet of its primordial scourge.The Earth belonged to the humans once more, and all its lands were safe - or so the world, Henry Shore, former Chief Park Ranger at Crater Lake National Park, and his wife, Ann, had believed...until one day, years later, two new dinosaurs, craftier than any the Earth had ever seen, appeared. One of them was benevolent, a friend to mankind, and the other was not. It was blood-thirsty, eerily intelligent, and unbelievably vengeful. This dinosaur wouldn’t be so easy to kill.Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors is the fifth book in the Dinosaur Lake series by Kathryn Meyer Griffith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johnnie C. Hayes.

After the Gig: How the Sharing Economy Got Hijacked and How to Win It Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
A Publishers Weekly Fall 2020 Big Indie BookThe dark side of the gig economy (Uber, Airbnb, etc.) and how to make it equitable for the users and workers most exploited. When the “sharing economy” launched a decade ago, proponents claimed that it would transform the experience of work - giving earners flexibility, autonomy, and a decent income. It was touted as a cure for social isolation and rampant ecological degradation. But this novel form of work soon sprouted a dark side: exploited Uber drivers, neighborhoods ruined by Airbnb, racial discrimination, and rising carbon emissions. Several of the most prominent platforms are now faced with existential crises as they prioritize growth over fairness and long-term viability.Nevertheless, the basic model - a peer-to-peer structure augmented by digital tech - holds the potential to meet its original promises. Based on nearly a decade of pioneering research, After the Gig dives into what went wrong with this contemporary reimagining of labor. The book examines multiple types of data from 13 cases to identify the unique features and potential of sharing platforms that prior research has failed to pinpoint. Juliet B. Schor presents a compelling argument that we can engineer a reboot: through regulatory reforms and cooperative platforms owned and controlled by users, an equitable and truly shared economy is still possible. ungekürzt.
