Drinking and Driving in America: Its Victims, Its Cost, Its Potential Solutions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
The United States has fought a war against drinking and driving for more than 100 years. Many battles have been won, but DUI still kills more than 10,000 people in America every year, and injures tens of thousands more. "More Americans have been killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes than in all wars the United States has been involved in since it was founded," according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service. If the yearly number of DUI-related deaths remains at the same levels, the equivalent of the entire population of a city the size of Erie, Pennsylvania, Green Bay, Wisconsin, or Clearwater, Florida will die over the next ten years. This book examines the impact drinking and driving has on the U.S. and what can be done to stop this senseless slaughter on our highways. It also puts a face on the problem with many real-life stories about how drinking and driving has impacted our citizens. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Ferrand.

Murder, Inc.: How Unregulated Industry Kills or Injures Thousands of Americans Every Year...and What You Can Do About It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 447min
Do you assume the products you buy, the food you eat, the medicines you take, and the cars you drive are safe? Think again. We’re exposed on a daily basis to life-threatening hazards of which we’re often unaware. From defective airbags that can explode and kill us to poisonous additives in food, we’re often the unknowing victims of corporate malfeasance and shamefully incompetent government oversight. In this hard-hitting exposé, Dr. Gerald M. Goldhaber examines the outcomes when corporate profits trump public safety. He uncovers the dismal history of government regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us but instead appoint leaders who come and go from the same industries they’re tasked to regulate. And while our modern conveniences make life easier and more enjoyable than previous generations, we also face new dangers of the digital age. The hacking of autonomous cars, misuse of private information collected by smart devices, and renegade programming glitches in smart homes and offices are just a few scenarios confronting us in the near future. The companies who produce these innovations need to ensure they’re fail-safe, or face hefty lawsuits if and when things go wrong. Principled disclosure of hidden hazards is an industry - and regulatory - necessity. We can make informed choices and avoid needless injury and death only when we know all the facts. Dr. Goldhaber recommends 12 steps to take control of our safety and outlines a model of corporate responsibility and government regulation that balances public safety measures and company profits to the benefit of all. ungekürzt.
