    HBR: Tools of Cooperation and Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    Employers can choose from lots of tools when they want to encourage employees to work together toward a new corporate goal. One of the rarest managerial skills is the ability to understand which tools will work in a given situation and which will misfire. Cooperation tools fall into four major categories: power, management, leadership, and culture. Choosing the right tool, say the authors, requires assessing the organization along two critical dimensions: the extent to which people agree on what they want and the extent to which they agree on cause and effect, or how to get what they want. From the October 2006 issue of Harvard Business Review. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Mundt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pe/hbsp/061001a/pe_hbsp_061001a_sample.mp3.

    Misfire: The Tragic Failure of the M16 in Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
    The M16 rifle is one of the world’s most famous firearms, iconic as the American weapon of the Vietnam War and, indeed, as the US military’s standard service rifle until only a few years ago. But the story of the M16 in Vietnam is anything but a success story. In the early years of the war, the US military had a problem: Its primary infantry rifle, the M14, couldn’t stand up to the enemy’s AK-47s. The search was on for a replacement that was lighter in weight, more durable, and more lethal than the M14. After tests (some of which the new rifle had failed) and debates (more than a few, rooted in the army brass’s resistance to change), secretary of defense Robert McNamara ordered the adoption of the M16 which was rushed through production and rushed to Vietnam, reaching troops’ hands in early 1965.Problems appeared immediately. Soldiers were often not adequately trained to maintain the new rifle (in fact, some were told the new rifle was “self-cleaning”), nor were they always given cleaning supplies or instructions. The harsh jungle climate corroded the rifle’s chamber, exacerbated by the manufacturer’s decision against chrome-plating the chamber. The ammunition that accompanied the rifles sent to Vietnam was incompatible with the M16 and was the principal cause of the failure to extract malfunctions. The result was that the M16 often jammed, making the rifle “about as effective as a muzzleloader” in the words of one officer. Men were killed in combat because they couldn’t return fire until the malfunction was cleared. Congress investigated, and the rifle and its ammunition were incrementally modified, greatly improving its reliability over the next few years. Troop training was also improved. But the damage to the M16’s reputation could not be undone, and many soldiers remained deeply skeptical of their rifle through the war’s end.Misfire combines insider knowledge of US army weapons development with firsthand combat experience in Vietn ungekürzt.

    Random Synapse Misfire (Volume 1): A Horror Anthology Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 170min
    People always say "There's more than meets the eye", but they rarely realize just how true those words are. Behind every mundane situation that goes on, there are innumerable circumstances that led to that exact event. Sometimes they are average, ordinary things that each of us experience day in and day out, but sometimes things happen that lack a logical explanation. Others have a seemingly obvious reason that is so far fetched that it becomes unbelievable. Can you trust your eyes when there's no time to rationalize? Will fear rule you? Hoxie tells the story of a small, midwestern town thrown into terror and chaos after an industrial "accident". Lights Out follows Lenny, a small-time crook and his crew who find out that some too-good-to-be-true offers are just that...and worse. The Night Ferry focuses on a small group of travelers who encounter a strange and deadly force while taking the final crossing of the night. ungekürzt.

    Political Animals: How Our Stone-Age Brain Gets in the Way of Smart Politics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
    Can a football game affect the outcome of an election? What about shark attacks? Or a drought? In a rational world the answer, of course, would be no. But as best-selling historian Rick Shenkman shows in Political Animals, our world is anything but rational. This isn't because we aren't smart. Instead, modern cues are setting off ancient, instinctive responses that worked to keep us safe in the Stone Age but lead us astray today. Pop culture tells us we can trust our instincts. But science is demonstrating that when it comes to politics, our Stone Age brains can malfunction and misfire. Fortunately, we can learn to override our instincts and ensure that they work in our favor. Drawing on science, politics, and history, Shenkman explores the hidden reasons behind our political choices and uncovers the invisible forces that are truly responsible for victory or defeat at the ballot box. ungekürzt.

    Some of My Best Friends (eBook, ePUB)
    A fearless and darkly comic debut essay collection about race, justice and the limits of good intentions. In this stunning debut, Catapult editor-in-chief and award-winning voice actor Tajja Isen explores the absurdity of living in a world that has grown fluent in the language of social justice but doesn't always follow through. These nine daring essays explore the sometimes troubling and often awkward nature of that discord. Some of My Best Friends takes on subjects that include the cartoon industry's pivot away from colorblind casting, the pursuit of diverse representation in the literary world, the law's refusal to see inequality, and the cozy fictions of nationalism. Throughout, Isen deftly examines the quick, cosmetic fixes society makes to address systemic problems, and reveals the unexpected ways they can misfire. In the spirit of Zadie Smith, Cathy Park Hong and Jia Tolentino, Isen interlaces cultural criticism with her own lived experience to explore the gaps between what we say and what we do, what we do and what we value, what we value and what we demand.
