    A Macat Analysis of Douglas McGregor's The Human Side of Enterprise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    Douglas McGregor's 1960 book The Human Side of Enterprise is a groundbreaking study of the conditions that make employment satisfying and meaningful. Traditionally, managers assumed people were lazy and would not work unless strictly controlled. McGregor, however, believed this form of management to be based on faulty assumptions about human nature, and felt that managers should reflect on their assumptions about what motivates people. He proposed they draw on research in psychology and the other social sciences to create working conditions that allow all employees to realize their full human potential. The Human Side of Enterprise is the culmination of McGregor's life's work and research. He compares stricter, more traditional management principles - Theory X - with principles that attempt to satisfy the full range of human needs - Theory Y. He was not necessarily in favor of one theory over another, because people are motivated differently. But, he argued, when people find work satisfying, they work more productively and efficiently. McGregor's work significantly influenced research in the decades that followed, and he is now seen to have been one of the most influential business scholars of all time. ungekürzt.

The man had answers to all of the country’s problems, so when his choice wins, he’s thrilled, until the new president reveals his evil side as soon as he’s sworn into office. Millstone’s dictator-like decrees soon fly in the face of the freedom Charlie and his girlfriend, Annie, have always taken for granted.

Those who do not follow the new rules and laws are labeled as "Defiants" and are put on disciplinary levels. Each level has stricter consequences, including criminal sentences leading up to execution.With the Millstone administration’s power growing rapidly, freedom becomes a relic of the past.

    Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark
    "Delightful.” —Mary Norris, The New Yorker A page-turning, existential romp through the life and times of the world's most polarizing punctuation mark The semicolon. Stephen King, Hemingway, Vonnegut, and Orwell detest it. Herman Melville, Henry James, and Rebecca Solnit love it. But why? When is it effective? Have we been misusing it? Should we even care? In Semicolon, Cecelia Watson charts the rise and fall of this infamous punctuation mark, which for years was the trendiest one in the world of letters. But in the nineteenth century, as grammar books became all the rage, the rules of how we use language became both stricter and more confusing, with the semicolon a prime victim. Taking us on a breezy journey through a range of examples—from Milton's manuscripts to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letters from Birmingham Jail” to Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep—Watson reveals how traditional grammar rules make us less successful at communicating with each other than we'd think. Even the most die-hard grammar fanatics would be better served by tossing the rule books and learning a better way to engage with language. Through her rollicking biography of the semicolon, Watson writes a guide to grammar that explains why we don't need guides at all, and refocuses our attention on the deepest, most primary value of language: true communication.

    Debunk This!: Shattering Liberal Lies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
    The biggest liberal myths of the modern age are exposed and debunked.  Countless studies have proven that over 90 percent of Trump-related news coverage is negative, and the percentage of journalists that identify as Republicans are in the single digits. When liberals are running the show, you can bet that their narrative has gone unchallenged. If you tell a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it, and that’s certainly the case with so many liberal myths that have become accepted as conventional wisdom.  In this book, you’ll learn, among many other facts:  What happened to non-gun mass killings when Australia enacted strict gun control. The truth about “Scandinavian socialism”. How Obama twisted the numbers to appear tough on immigration. Why Mexico has stricter immigration laws than the US. How Bill Clinton faked the “Clinton surplus”. That the US doesn’t have the majority of the world’s mass shootings. Why statistics claiming that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than the general public are bogus. The countless lies the media simply made up about the Trump administration.  If you’re in need of ammunition to shoot down liberal lies, this is the book for you.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Who Created the EU Migrant Crisis and Why? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    The migrant crisis. Most of us throughout the western world have heard about it. Sometimes we've heard good things, sometimes bad. On Twitter, for example, we tend to hear a lot about epidemics of crime and rape, as well as chaotic demonstrations of violence, burning and overturning of vehicles, blockading of roads, flash mobs, etc., in relation to the so-called "Syrian refugees" fleeing war-torn Syria.On YouTube and other official venues, which are subject to stricter regulation, oversight and perception management, we tend to hear mostly only good things about the "refugees". What we don't hear a lot about is who is behind this migrant crisis. And if we do not know much about who is behind it, then we cannot very well understand why it's happening. We get only bits and pieces in videos, essays, blogs and Tweets online. And what we do get online is either incorrect or incomplete. That's where this book comes into the picture. We are going to give you all of the correct why's in one, concise presentation.The goal of this book is to provide all Westerners with a comprehensive, if brief, explanation of the migrant crisis in a straightforward, unemotional, objective manner. This book is intended to be passed around and shared with others who are perplexed by this ongoing development.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Avernon Honeythunder.

    That Deadman Dance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
    Big-hearted, moving and richly rewarding, That Deadman Dance is set in the first decades of the 19th century in the area around what is now Albany, Western Australia. In playful, musical prose, the book explores the early contact between the Aboriginal Noongar people and the first European settlers. The novel's hero is a young Noongar man named Bobby Wabalanginy. Clever, resourceful and eager to please, Bobby befriends the new arrivals, joining them hunting whales, tilling the land, exploring the hinterland and establishing the fledgling colony. He is even welcomed into a prosperous local white family where he falls for the daughter, Christine, a beautiful young woman who sees no harm in a liaison with a native. But slowly - by design and by accident - things begin to change. Not everyone is happy with how the colony is developing. Stock mysteriously start to disappear; crops are destroyed; there are 'accidents' and injuries on both sides. As the Europeans impose ever stricter rules and regulations in order to keep the peace, Bobby's Elders decide they must respond in kind. A friend to everyone, Bobby is forced to take sides: he must choose between the old world and the new, his ancestors and his new friends. Inexorably, he is drawn into a series of events that will forever change not just the colony but the future of Australia.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Humphrey Bower.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 579: Do Public Masturbators Make Good Politicians?, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min, (USK 18)
    Susie starts off today's show with a technology article from Popular Science. The topic: UK Prime Minister David Cameron's proposed anti-pornography plan. He wants stricter filters for search engines, because he believes that many children are viewing porn online. Cameron believes that a "family filter" set up by his government can solve the problem and promises to do "whatever it takes to keep our children safe." Susie reads from the story and finds so many holes in this absurd plan. Next, Anthony Weiner, the former congressman, now New York City mayoral candidate, is at it again. Remember why he stepped out of politics? He was the guy that sexted pictures of his penis to women, all the while his wife was carrying their first child. Oops, just an indiscretion? Could he still be doing it? Susie has a lot to say about Weiner and his exhibitionistic ways. Finally, in Susie's "Try This at Home" mailbag segment, a listener asks for advice regarding her stepdaughter. She's just learned that the girl and her fiancé have an ongoing three-way relationship with another friend. "Help, they want their trio to be included at all our family functions. What should I do?"

    Little Panic: Dispatches from an Anxious Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 800min
    In the vein of best-selling memoirs about mental illness like Andrew Solomon's Noonday Demon, Sarah Hepola's Blackout, and Daniel Smith's Monkey Mind comes a gorgeously immersive, immediately relatable, and brilliantly funny memoir about living life on the razor's edge of panic.  The world never made any sense to Amanda Stern - how could she trust time to keep flowing, the sun to rise, gravity to hold her feet to the ground, or even her own body to work the way it was supposed to? Deep down, she knows that there's something horribly wrong with her, some defect that her siblings and friends don't have to cope with.   Growing up in the 1970s and '80s in New York, Amanda experiences the magic and madness of life through the filter of unrelenting panic. Plagued with fear that her friends and family will be taken from her if she's not watching - that her mother will die, or forget she has children and just move away - Amanda treats every parting as her last. Shuttled between a barefoot bohemian life with her mother in Greenwich Village, and a sanitized, stricter world of affluence uptown with her father, Amanda has little she can depend on. And when Etan Patz disappears down the block from their MacDougal Street home, she can't help but believe that all her worst fears are about to come true.   Tenderly delivered and expertly structured, Amanda Stern's memoir is a document of the transformation of New York City and a deep, personal, and comedic account of the trials and errors of seeing life through a very unusual lens.
