The China Collectors: America's Century-Long Hunt for Asian Art Treasures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1030min

Thanks to Salem sea captains, Gilded Age millionaires, curators on horseback and missionaries gone native, North American museums now possess the greatest collections of Chinese art outside of East Asia itself. How did it happen? The China Collectors is the first full account of a century-long treasure hunt in China from the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion to Mao Zedong's 1949 ascent. The principal gatherers are mostly little known and defy invention. They included "foreign devils" who braved desert sandstorms, bandits, and local warlords in acquiring significant works. Adventurous curators like Langdon Warner, a forebear of Indiana Jones, argued that the caves of Dunhuang were already threatened by vandals, thereby justifying the removal of frescoes and sculptures. Other Americans include George Kates, an alumnus of Harvard, Oxford, and Hollywood, who fell in love with Ming furniture. The Chinese were divided between dealers who profited from the artworks' removal and scholars who sought to protect their country's patrimony. Duanfang, the greatest Chinese collector of his era, was beheaded in a coup, and his splendid bronzes now adorn major museums. Others in this rich tapestry include Charles Lang Freer, an enlightened Detroit entrepreneur; two generations of Rockefellers; Avery Brundage, the imperious Olympian; and Arthur Sackler, the grand acquisitor. No less important are two museum directors, Cleveland's Sherman Lee and Kansas City's Laurence Sickman, who challenged the East Coast's hegemony. Shareen Blair Brysac and Karl E. Meyer evenhandedly consider whether ancient treasures were looted or salvaged and whether it was morally acceptable to spirit hitherto inaccessible objects westward, where they could be studied and preserved by trained museum personnel. And how should the US and Canada and their museums respond now that China has the means and will to reclaim its missing patrimony? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Backman.

Notes on Consciousness - Elements of an Integrative Worldview : Scholarly Articles, Volume 15 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices as an upside-down worldview where all the real values have been twisted into a consumerist persecutor paradigm that gives the state more and more control over the individual. The emphasis here is on the integrative aspect, as we have so many fragmented views and opinions in our society. What we need are integrative and holistic solutions for the future. This includes all possible aspects of a holistic perspective in order to meld them into an organic whole. The author has widely profited, in his own spiritual development, from channeled literature, and from his own dream visions, from meticulous scientific observation and research, and from his various art activities. All of these vectors are needed to bring about a truly synergistic and integrative regard on life and living. This condensed integrated intuitive audio pamphlet is the result of more than 20 years of both intellectual and artistic pursuit, combined with meditation and comparative religious studies - and not to forget the integration of the whole body of esoteric and channeled literature that was produced by humanity throughout the ages and that the author has meticulously studied since the 1970s. ungekürzt.

The Future of Power: Its Changing Nature and Use in the Twenty-first Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min

Power evolves. In the 16th century, control of colonies and gold bullion gave Spain the edge; 17th-century Netherlands profited from trade and finance; 18th-century France gained from its larger population, while 19th-century British power rested on its primacy in the Industrial Revolution and its navy. In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power resources were measured in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, and numbers of men under arms and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. But the global information age of the 21st century is quickly rendering these traditional markers of power obsolete, remapping power relationships. In The Future of Power, Joseph S. Nye, Jr., a longtime analyst of power and a hands-on practitioner in government, delivers a new power narrative that considers the shifts, innovations, bold technologies, and new relationships that will define the 21st century. He shows how power resources are adapting to the digital age and how smart power strategies must include more than a country’s military strength. Information once reserved for the government is ow available for mass consumption. The Internet has literally put power at the fingertips of nonstate agents, allowing them to launch cyberattacks on governments from their homes and creating a security threat that is felt worldwide. But the cyberage has also created a new power frontier among states, ripe with opportunity for developing countries. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, America had about a quarter of the world’s product but only 5 percent of its population. It was indisputably the most powerful nation in the world, unsurpassed in military strength and ownership of world resources. Today, China, Brazil, India, and others are increasing their share of world power resources, but remain unlikely to surpass America as the most powerful nation if the United States adopts new strategies designed for a global information age.T ungekürzt.

Customer Service: The Cornerstone of Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min

Customer service may soon be a thing of the past except for a few companies and organizations that pride themselves on providing their customers with extraordinary service. The U.S. is becoming a rude society. Fewer people care about or expect good customer service. Too many companies are living on past reputations. A new generation of senior executives has no idea what customer service is all about. The author attributes this to a society of people all thumbs about their pods, pads and berries and oblivious to the world around them. This book should be a must read by CEOs, senior managers and heads of PR and customer service at all companies, organizations and institutions as well as local, state and federal governments. The book cites how poor customer service or lack of it has caused and exacerbates crises. There are separate chapters on basics, listening, responding, telephone etiquette, and the problem of gate guardians as well as separate chapters for a more comprehensive look at the success of several companies including Amica Mutual Insurance Co., Marriott and Crystal Cruise Lines. The author, Rene A. Henry, draws from the successful practices of CEOs who know extraordinary customer service to provide the reader with a menu of proven ideas that can be adapted for any type of business, product or service. The book looks at how the Nordstrom family empowers its employees with ownership and entrepreneurialism. Why Amica Insurance has been honored time and again for 100 years for the way it treats its customers. How Carl Sewell became one of the nation's largest luxury car dealers by turning one-time buyers into a lifetime customers. The way Amazon has profited from Jeff Bezos' customer-centric philosophy. The importance Bill Marriott, Jr. places on management by walking around has made it the leader in the hotel business. Ukrops Supermarkets became a major regional chain with a contrarian strategy.

Fifty Things That Made the Modern Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 555min

Based on the series produced for the BBC World Service) A Financial Times and Bloomberg Business Week Book of the Year) Who thought up paper money? How did the contraceptive pill change the face of the legal profession? Why was the horse collar as important for human progress as the steam engine? How did the humble spreadsheet turn the world of finance upside down? The world economy defies comprehension. A continuously changing system of immense complexity, it offers over 10 billion distinct products and services, doubles in size every 15 years, and links almost every one of the planet's seven billion people. It delivers astonishing luxury to hundreds of millions. It also leaves hundreds of millions behind, puts tremendous strains on the ecosystem, and has an alarming habit of stalling. Nobody is in charge of it. Indeed, no individual understands more than a fraction of what's going on. How can we make sense of this bewildering system on which our lives depend? From the tally stick to Bitcoin, the canal lock to the jumbo jet, each invention in Tim Harford's fascinating new book has its own curious, surprising and memorable story, a vignette against a grand backdrop. Step by step, listeners will start to understand where we are, how we got here and where we might be going next. Hidden connections will be laid bare: how the barcode undermined family corner shops; why the gramophone widened inequality; how barbed wire shaped America. We'll meet the characters who developed some of these inventions, profited from them or were ruined by them. We'll trace the economic principles that help to explain their transformative effects. And we'll ask what lessons we can learn to make wise use of future inventions in a world where the pace of innovation will only accelerate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roger Davis.

Summary: The Death of Money , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

Learn about the possible future death of money and what you can do to prepare in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to the actual book! In a windowless meeting room inside the CIA, John Mulheren (a well-known Wall Street stock trader) called the days leading up to 9/11 "the most blatant case of insider trading I've ever seen". There is clear evidence that a circle of people had known about the attacks days in advance and had profited from the chaos of 9/11. In the weeks after the attacks, Osama bin Laden blatantly bragged about the losses Wall Street had sustained as a result of the attacks, proving that there was an economic plan in regard to the attacks that affected the stock market. With this in mind, the CIA began Project Prophesy. Formally launched by the CIA in April 2002, Project Prophesy investigated the possibility that terrorists could profit in the options market by trading stocks before their attacks and whether or not the intelligence community could prevent future attacks by learning to recognize these patterns. Prophesy concluded that while terrorists themselves were not directly involved in insider trading, their close social circles used knowledge of future attacks to profit in the stock exchange. These trades most often occurred between 72 hours before an attack and 30 minutes after in an effort to avoid detection. In 2004 Project Prophesy's original mission was winding down, and the group was officially disbanded. However, MARKINT was formed as a small break-off group to analyze market intelligence. MARKINT developed a signal engine that was able to analyze stocks and detect suspicious insider trading. While any nonthreatening activity was handed off to the SEC, the program continued to search for terrorist threats evident in insider trading. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mutt Rogers.
