    The ultimate escapist adventure story, The Prisoner of Zenda transports the listener into a bygone era, awash with swashbuckling heroism, cunning plots, and courtly love.

When the King of Ruritania is kidnapped, the onus falls on a British tourist, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the king, to stand in for him and to avert disaster by coming to his rescue. The frequent replays of the film with Ronald Colman and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. testify to the continuing popularity of this evergreen adventure.

    Killer Couple: The True Story of James Marlow & Cynthia Coffman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    James Marlow and Cynthia Coffman were a troubled couple who were convicted of murdering five people during a deadly rampage that spanned multiple states. The last two victims, 20-year old Corrina Novis and 19-year old Lynell Murray were kidnapped and found strangled and sodomized, and the murderous pair were found guilty of the crimes. Whereas both Marlow and Coffman received the death penalty for Novis' death, Marlow received a second death sentence for Murray's while Coffman was sentence to life without the possibility of parole in Murray's murder. Both defendants sought to shift the onus of blame to the other with Marlow claiming it was Coffman's idea to kill the girls while he only wanted to rob them and Coffman alleging that she was the victim of battered women's syndrome. Neither ploy was successful as the pair were convicted across the board for robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, and murder. Coffman has the distinction of being the first woman sentenced to death in California following the state's reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Review and Analysis Of: Mohamed A. El-Erian's The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
    Please note: This is a review and analysis of the book, not the original book. Most would agree that the great recession of 2008 was unprecedented. Although it wasn't quite like the depression of 1929, it was worse in other ways. It took most government politicians and central banks off guard and so they had to scramble to find a solution to the underlying causes. They took the onus completely on themselves to solve the issue. They have effectively become the only game in town when it comes to growing the economy. Mohamed A. El-Erian, in his wonderful book The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse, goes into some depth as to how the central banks tried to stave off complete collapse and what we can be done to avoid the next collapse. In this review, we will analyze, discuss, and summarize the key points in The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse. Enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Packed with real-world examples of advertising campaigns for companies including Sony, Red Bull, HP and many more, Paid Attention provides a robust model for influencing human behaviour. Referencing a wide body of theory and praxis, from behavioural economics and sociology to technology and even science fiction, Faris Yakob maps advertising onto a wider analysis of culture.

    Secrets and Leaks: The Dilemma of State Secrecy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
    Secrets and Leaks examines the complex relationships among executive power, national security, and secrecy. State secrecy is vital for national security, but it can also be used to conceal wrongdoing. How then can we ensure that this power is used responsibly? Typically, the onus is put on lawmakers and judges, who are expected to oversee the executive. Yet, because these actors lack access to the relevant information and the ability to determine the harm likely to be caused by its disclosure, they often defer to the executive's claims about the need for secrecy. As a result, potential abuses are more often exposed by unauthorized disclosures published in the press. But should such disclosures, which violate the law, be condoned? Drawing on several cases, Rahul Sagar argues that though whistleblowing can be morally justified, the fear of retaliation usually prompts officials to act anonymously - that is, to "leak" information. As a result, it becomes difficult for the public to discern when an unauthorized disclosure is intended to further partisan interests. Because such disclosures are the only credible means of checking the executive, Sagar writes, they must be tolerated. However, the public should treat such disclosures skeptically and subject irresponsible journalism to concerted criticism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Butler Murray.

    Without Being Asked: How Can Dads and Kids Help Organize and Declutter to Reduce Family Burnout? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Moms didn’t ask to be the household manager, yet many find themselves coming home from work to a team that struggles to help. Other handbooks put the onus on mom to figure out how to motivate the team, but what if dad and the kids got together and figured it out for themselves? What would it be like to no longer have to ask for things to happen, but they happened because that’s just the standard – clear counters, floors, and a clutter-free environment?In Without Being Asked: How Can Dads and Kids Help Around the House to Reduce Burnout?, a pharmacist dad and his triplet eight-year-old daughters work to find their own decluttering way. After a few weeks of missteps, the house now remains consistently clutter free. Progress continues on new organizing projects and the general level of stress and anxiety that comes with a multiple-kid household is much lower.Imagine after a long day at work, having a completely uncluttered walk from the entrance of the house to the bedroom. The kitchen countertops and floors are clear of clutter, the kids’ coats and shoes are on hangers and in cubbies, and the laundry baskets stand empty. You ask your kids why their hair is wet; they say, “Dad gave us baths.” Then, when you ask about dinner and homework, they say, “Maybe you need to relax in the bath, Mom, we already finished it. By the way, Dad left some food for you in the fridge.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Guerra. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/187936/bk_acx0_187936_sample.mp3.
