    Under New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as Usual , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    A provocative work that challenges the traditional and widely accepted principles of business management - and proves that they are outdated, outmoded, or simply don't work. Do open floor plans really work? Are there companies that put their employees' welfare first and their clients second? Are annual performance reviews necessary? Dr. David Burkus is a highly regarded and increasingly influential business school professor who challenges many of the established principles of business management. Drawing on decades of research, Burkus has found that not only are many of our fundamental management practices wrong and misguided, but they can be downright counterproductive. These days, the best companies are breaking the old rules. At some companies, email is now restricted to certain hours, so employees can work without distraction. Netflix no longer has a standard vacation policy of two to three weeks but instructs employees to take time off when they feel they need it. And at Valve Software, there are no managers; the employees govern themselves. The revolutionary insights Burkus reveals here will convince companies to leave behind decades-old management practices and implement new ways to enhance productivity and morale. ungekürzt.

    Katharina die Große. Herrscherin aller Russen.
    Voltaire sieht in ihr eine Philosophin auf dem Thron, bei ihren Zeitgenossen ist sie ihrer vielen Liebhaber wegen verschrien, und die Geschichte verleiht ihr als einziger Herrscherin den Titel "die Große": Zarin Katharina II. (1729-1796) reformiert das Russische Reich, formt es gar zu einer europäischen Großmacht. Die gleichermaßen kluge wie unbeugsame Frau hängt den Idealen der Aufklärung an und korrespondiert mit dem französischen Philosophen Voltaire. Ihre Reformen, etwa in der Verwaltung, der Bildung, der medizinischen Versorgung und Wohlfahrt, sollen Russland den Weg in die Moderne ebnen. Und doch hält die aufgeschlossene, fortschrittliche Zarin an überkommenen Strukturen fest, indem sie die Leibeigenschaft letztlich nicht abschafft und weiter den Adel stärkt, dessen Unterstützung sie nicht entbehren kann. Obwohl sie Krieg als Mittel der Politik verabscheut, muss Katharina kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen führen. Ihr Privatleben reibt die Monarchin nicht weniger auf: Das Verhältnis zu ihrem Sohn Paul gestaltet sich zunehmend schwierig, ihrem Liebhaber Grigorij Orlow entfremdet sie sich. Da begegnet sie Grigorij Potemkin, der ihr Günstling und wichtigster Ratgeber wird. Als er sich in Katharinas Politik einmischt, erkennt sie, dass sie seine Liebe nur bewahren kann, wenn sie ihn ziehen lässt ...

    House Rules: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1195min
    The astonishing novel from the number-one New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult about a young boy with autism falsely accused of murder. When your son can't look you in the eye...does that mean he's guilty? Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject - forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right. But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are directly in the spotlight. For Jacob's mother, Emma, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, Theo, it's another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob. And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder? ungekürzt.

    The Hanging Judge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    When a drive-by shooting in Holyoke, Massachusetts, claims the lives of a Puerto Rican drug dealer and a nurse at a neighborhood clinic, the police arrest a black drug dealer. With no death penalty in Massachusetts, the US attorney shifts the double homicide out of state jurisdiction into federal court so that he can pursue the death penalty. The Honorable David S. Norcross, who has been on the federal bench only two years, now presides overthe first death penalty case in the state in 50 years. He must contend not only with an ambitious female prosecutor and a brilliant veteran defense attorney, but with a citizenry outraged at the senseless killing of a white hockey mom- not to mention the pressures of the media, anti-death penalty protesters, vengeful gang members, and the million other things that can go wrong in a capital trial. Michael A. Ponsor takes readers into the courtroom and beyond, presenting with great sensitivity the points of view of the defendant and his wife; the victims' families; law enforcement officers; witnesses; and the judge who, while still coming to terms with the death of his wife, begins a relationship with a woman he is not sure he can trust. ungekürzt.

    Return of the Thin Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    Dashiell Hammett was a crime writer who elevated the genre to true literature, and The Thin Man was Hammett’s last - and most successful - novel. Following the enormous success of The Thin Man movie in 1934, Hammett was commissioned to write stories for additional films. He wrote two full-length novellas for the films that became After the Thin Man and Another Thin Man. Hammett brought back his classic characters - retired private investigator Nick Charles and his former debutante wife Nora - in these two fully satisfying Thin Man stories, written with Hammett’s signature, barbed dialogue. Neither of these stories has been previously published (except for a partial in a small magazine 25 years ago). Now together in Return of the Thin Man, these hugely entertaining novellas are destined to remain essential listening for Hammett’s millions of fans and a new generation of mystery lovers the world over. The recording features Peter Ganim as Nick, Nicola Barber as Nora, and Scott Brick as the narrator. Additional character voices are provided by Emily Bauer, Dan Bittner, Cynthia Darlow, Richard Ferrone, Eliza Foss, Emma Galvin, Johnny Heller, Pete Larkin, Bill Lobley, Carol Monda, Rich Orlow, Paula Parker, Vinnie Penna, with Zane Birdwell, Nathan Rosborough, Iris McElroy, Barbara Vlahides, Fametta Sawyer, Tim Bader, Tyrrell Harrell, Kevin Fecu, and Alan Winter. ungekürzt.

    Larry Bond's First Team: Soul of the Assassin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min
    When the CIA is tipped off that one of its most wanted men is going to be in Bologna, Italy, Ferg and the First Team are tasked to apprehend him at any cost - but under no circumstances can Italian authorities be made aware. There is just one problem: No one has seen the man in over 10 years, and he is only known by a decades-old code-name: T-Rex. This assassin has been involved in the murder of at least a dozen prominent western leaders, and the grapevine reveals he's been called out of a long, silent hiding for one more major strike. Ferg and the Team arrive in Italy, where they recruit the help of a beautiful French Samaritan named Jane Foucoult. Her knowledge leads them on a search that goes behind the scenes of a conference on genetics and onto a trail to a sinister Russian scientist, a leader at the forefront of biological-weapons research. Splitting the team in two, Ferg and Guns go after the ghosts they speculate could be T-Rex, and Rankin and Thera get on the scientist's tail. But what they uncover is way beyond a single assassination attempt, and they find themselves about to go head-to-head with the most lethal terrorist cells known to man. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Spy House: A Spycatcher Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    In the fifth electrifying thriller featuring Will Cochrane, the intelligence agent must solve the unsolvable: How did four international agents working on a supersecret mission die in a safe-house bunker that was locked from the inside? Critics have called Will Cochrane a "ruthless yet noble" (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram) "one-man weapon of mass destruction" (Daily Telegraph) - a brilliant agent from whom "Bond and Bourne could learn a thing or two" (Madison County Herald). His latest assignment will plunge him into the thorny politics of the Middle East. The stakes: averting a war that could engulf the world in flames. When the Israeli ambassador to France is shot dead in Paris by an unknown sniper, the Israeli government blames Hamas and begins planning a massive invasion to obliterate the terrorist organization once and for all. To avoid an all-out war, three members of the UN Security Council - the United States, France, and the United Kingdom - assemble a team of intelligence agents to uncover the truth behind the assassination. But when the team stops responding and all four agents are found dead in a bunker locked from the inside, they turn to freelance intelligence operative Will Cochrane for answers. To find out what really happened in the Paris shooting and in the bunker and prevent an unwinnable war, Cochrane will use his years of knowledge and experience to unravel the truth...and maybe just keep himself alive. ungekürzt.

    The Infiltrator: A Taskforce Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
    Retired Special Forces officer Brad Taylor's thrilling new short story features Israeli operatives Aaron and Shoshana, as the two wed at Jerusalem's Western Wall amid a backdrop of turmoil and a new plot to attack the city's holiest site. Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to traveling all over the world for counterterrorist missions, but this time they're in the Old City of Jerusalem under happier circumstances. Their friends Aaron and Shoshana, former operatives with Israeli Mossad, are getting married, and they've chosen to tie the knot at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. The holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam, the Temple Mount is a fault line between Jews and Muslims, the flash point for eons of strife - and it will still prove to be true today. Unbeknownst to them, a cell of Palestinian terrorists has planned an attack against innocent tourists to incite the Arab world to demand that Israel retreat from the holy site. But the terrorists don't realize that they themselves are being played by an infiltrator with a subversive plot that will lead to the Arabs' loss of control of the Temple Mount. But even the infiltrator doesn't know the full scope of the terrorists' plans; they're preparing a strike much greater than he envisions - one that could split the fault line into total war. As Pike and Jennifer explore the Old City with their Israeli friends, neither the terrorists nor the infiltrator remember one immutable truth: In war, the enemy gets a vote. ungekürzt.
