    The Extraordinary Power of Leader Humility: Thriving Organizations - Great Results , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    “This inspiring book belongs on the desk of every CEO and politician. With eye-opening case studies and recommended behaviors in every chapter, it’s an indispensable user guide for servant leaders.” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and coeditor of Servant Leadership in Action)On the most fundamental level, leaders must bring divergent groups together and forge a consensus on a path forward. But what makes that possible? Humility - a deep regard for the dignity of others - is the key, says distinguished leadership educator Marilyn Gist.Leadership is a relationship, and humility is the foundation for all healthy relationships. Leader humility can increase engagement and retention. It inspires and motivates. Gist offers a model of leader humility derived from three questions people ask of their leaders: Who are you? Where are we going? Do you see me?She explores each of these questions in depth, as well as the six key qualities of leader humility: a balanced ego, integrity, a compelling vision, ethical strategies, generous inclusion, and a developmental focus. Much of this book is based on Gist’s interviews with a dozen distinguished leaders of organizations such as the Mayo Clinic, Costco, REI, Alaska Airlines, Starbucks, and others. And the foreword and a guest chapter are written by Alan Mulally, the legendary leader who brought Ford back from the brink of bankruptcy, after the 2008 financial collapse and whose work is an exemplar of leader humility. ungekürzt.

    Moving Up, Moving Out: The Rise of the Black Middle Class in Chicago , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 388min
    In Moving Up, Moving Out, Will Cooley discusses the damage racism and discrimination have exacted on black Chicagoans in the 20th century, while accentuating the resilience of upwardly mobile African Americans. Cooley examines how class differences created fissures in the black community and produced quandaries for black Chicagoans interested in racial welfare. While black Chicagoans engaged in collective struggles, they also used individualistic means to secure the American Dream. Black Chicagoans demonstrated their talent and ambitions, but they entered through the narrow gate, and whites denied them equal opportunities in the educational institutions, workplaces, and neighborhoods that produced the middle class.African Americans resisted these restrictions at nearly every turn by moving up into better careers and moving out into higher-quality neighborhoods, but their continued marginalization helped create a deeply dysfunctional city. African Americans settled in Chicago for decades, inspired by the gains their forerunners were making in the city. Though faith in Chicago as a land of promise wavered, the progress of the black middle class kept the city from completely falling apart. In this important study, Cooley shows how Chicago, in all of its glory and faults, was held together by black dreams of advancement. Moving Up, Moving Out will appeal to urban historians and sociologists, scholars of African American studies, and general listeners interested in Chicago and urban history.The book is published by Northern Illinois University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.Praise for the book:“A well-researched and intriguing book… brings to light fascinating material.” (Todd M.

    Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who ThriveHow a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    Dan Siegel and Mary Hartzell have quite deftly managed to translate highly complex neuroscientific and psychological matters into lay strategies for effective parenting. (Marilyn B. Benoit, M.D., former president, American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry). "Parenting from the Inside Out is a must-have for any parent…I gave a friend of mine a copy and she said, 'This audiobook is changing my life. I like my kids again.'" (Gwyneth Paltrow, Goop.com). "Together Siegel and Hartzell delicately peel back the many layers of parenting to reveal the pure nature of the relationship at its core." (Neal Halfon, M.D., MPH, professor of pediatrics, UCLA; director, UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities, and coeditor, Child Rearing in America). In this best-selling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient children. Drawing on Siegel's cutting-edge research on how communication influences brain development with Hartzell's more than forty years' experience as a child development specialist and parent educator, Parenting from the Inside Out guides parents through creating the necessary foundations for loving and secure relationships with their children.

    Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra-Thin (eBook, ePUB)
    "Soules's excellent book makes sense of the capitalist forces we all feel but cannot always name... Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin arms architects and the general public with an essential understanding of how capitalism makes property. Required reading for those who think tomorrow can be different from today."- Jack Self, coeditor of Real Estates: Life Without Debt In Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin, Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in our cities, functioning as speculative wealth storage for the superrich, and cavernous "iceberg" homes extend architectural assets many stories below street level. Meanwhile, communities around the globe are blighted by zombie and ghost urbanism, marked by unoccupied neighborhoods and abandoned housing developments. Learn how the use of architecture as an investment tool has accelerated in recent years, heightening inequality and contributing to worldwide financial instability: • See how investment imperatives shape what and how we build, changing the very structure of our communities • Delve into high-profile projects, like the luxury apartments of architect Rafael Viñoly's 432 Park Avenue • Understand the convergence of technology, finance, and spirituality, which together are configuring the financialized walls within which we eat, sleep, and work Includes dozens of photos and drawings of architectural phenomena that have changed the way we live. Essential reading for anyone interested in architecture, design, economics, and understanding the way our world is formed.

    Uncensored: My Life and Uncomfortable Conversations at the Intersection of Black and White America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    Drawing upon his own powerful personal story, Zachary R. Wood shares his perspective on free speech, race, and dissenting opinions - in a world that sorely needs to learn to listen. As the former president of the student group Uncomfortable Learning at his alma mater, Williams College, Zachary Wood knows from experience about intellectual controversy. At school and beyond, there's no one Zach refuses to engage with simply because he disagrees with their beliefs - sometimes vehemently so - and this view has given him a unique platform in the media. But Zach has never shared the details of his own personal story. In Uncensored, he reveals for the first time how he grew up poor and black in Washington, DC, where the only way to survive was by resisting the urge to write people off because of their backgrounds and perspectives.By sharing his troubled upbringing - from a difficult early childhood to the struggles of code switching between his home and his elite private school - Zach makes a compelling argument for a new way of interacting with others and presents a new outlook on society's most difficult conversations. “Wood elevates the approach to difficult conversations and dialogue, succeeding in helping people overcome indifference. A must-read for young social activists, free speech crusaders, and fans of inspirational memoirs.” (Library Journal)“Wood is a cerebral analyst...an effective translator of the two worlds he navigates - four worlds, really, rich and poor as notable as black and white.” (The Christian Science Monitor)“Zachary Wood's story is wrenchingly honest and compelling, a triumph of discipline and resilience, with useful lessons for us all. His willingness to confront opposing views and engage ideological adversaries is brave and important at a time when political polarization is challenging our national strength." (Ambassador Susan E. Rice, coeditor of Confronting Poverty)/ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zachary R. Wood. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/004002/bk_peng_004002_sample.mp3.

    Multiverse: Exploring Poul Anderson's Worlds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 993min
    Poul Anderson was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science fiction. Named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1997, he produced an enormous body of standalone novels and series fiction and was equally at home in the fields of heroic fantasy and hard SF. He was a meticulous craftsman and a gifted storyteller, and the impact of his finest work continues, undiminished, to this day. Multiverse: Exploring Poul Anderson's Worlds is a rousing, all-original anthology that stands both as a significant achievement in its own right and as a heartfelt tribute to a remarkable writer - and equally remarkable man. A nicely balanced mixture of fiction and reminiscence, Multiverse contains more than a dozen stories and novellas by some of today's finest writers, along with moving reflections by, among others, Anderson's wife, Karen; his daughter, Astrid Anderson Bear; and his son-in-law, novelist and coeditor Greg Bear. Bear's introduction, "My Friend Poul", is particularly illuminating and insightful. The fictional contributions comprise a kaleidoscopic array of imaginative responses to Anderson's many and varied fictional worlds. A few of the highlights include Nancy Kress' "Outmoded Things" and Terry Brooks' "The Fey of Cloudmoor", stories inspired by the Hugo Award-winning "The Queen of Airand Darkness"; a pair of truly wonderful Time Patrol stories, "A Slip in Time" by S. M. Stirling and "Christmas in Gondwanaland" by Robert Silverberg; Raymond E. Feist's Dominic Flandry adventure, "A Candle"; and a pair of very different homages to the classic fantasy novel, Three Hearts and Three Lions: "The Man Who Came Late" by Harry Turtledove and "Three Lilies and Three Leopards (And a Participation Ribbon in Science)" by Tad Williams.Copyright information: “Introduction: My Friend Poul” © 2014 by Greg Bear. “Outmoded Things” © 2014 by Nancy Kress. “The Man Who Came Late” © 2014 by Har ungekürzt.

    Biserica Ortodoxa Romana in primul deceniu comunist (eBook, ePUB)
    In cartea lui despre Biserica Ortodoxa Romana, Cristian Vasile atinge multe subiecte delicate, in raspar cu modul de abordare al istoriografiei oficiale. Autorul sustine ca puterea (pro)comunista nu a apelat intotdeauna la forta si nu a subordonat Biserica doar prin presiuni, arestari si amenintari, ci si prin specularea unor adanci tensiuni si rivalitati din interiorul clerului. Marea flexibilitate a conducerii PCR in politica religioasa s-a vadit inca din 1945, cand unii preoti si teologi epurati au inceput sa fie "recuperati" si ulterior chiar folositi ca informatori. E o realitate trista ca mai multi preoti au fost arestati sau anchetati din cauza denunturilor altor clerici. In timp ce planul comunist de supunere a Bisericii, care s-a conturat in anii 1947-1948, a fost coerent, dar si flexibil, lumea clerului a fost dezbinata. O firava solidaritate a preotimii din eparhii cu prelatii deveniti indezirabili pentru comunisti (cu mitropolitul Irineu al Moldovei, de pilda) nu a lipsit, dar a fost repede inabusita cu metode politienesti. In final, ajutat si de memoriile lui Petre Pandrea, Cristian Vasile incearca sa desluseasca imprejurarile prigoanei declansate in anii '50 impotriva manastirii Vladimiresti. Personajele luminoase ale cartii sunt doi prelati: patriarhul Nicodim si mitropolitul Irineu; disparitia lor in 1948 - suspecta, dupa unele surse - anunta o noua epoca. Insa cititorul se va intalni si cu personaje secundare, precum Arsenie Boca, Benedict Ghius, mari duhovnici ai ortodoxiei, sau cu ierarhi de azi: PF Sa Teoctist, IPS Antonie, IPS Bartolomeu si altii, care in urma cu 40-50 de ani erau doar tineri calugari sau diaconi. Cristian Vasile este cercetator stiintific la Institutul de Istorie "Nicolae Iorga" (Programul Romania si Europa in secolul XX). A fost secretar stiintific al Comisiei Prezidentiale pentru Analiza Dictaturii Comuniste din Romania (aprilie 2006-aprilie 2007), coordonator al Comisiei Prezidentiale Consultative pentru Analiza Dictaturii Comuniste din Romania (aprilie 2007-decembrie 2009), coeditor, impreuna cu Vladimir Tismaneanu si Dorin Dobrincu, al Raportului Final al Comisiei Prezidentiale pentru Analiza Dictaturii Comuniste din Romania (Humanitas, 2007).
