    Pricing Beauty: The Making of a Fashion Model , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
    Sociologist Ashley Mears takes us behind the brightly lit runways and glossy advertisements of the fashion industry in this insider's study of the world of modeling. Mears, who worked as a model in New York and London, draws on observations as well as extensive interviews with male and female models, agents, clients, photographers, stylists, and others, to explore the economics and politics - and the arbitrariness - behind the business of glamour. Exploring a largely hidden arena of cultural production, she shows how the right "look" is discovered, developed, and packaged to become a prized commodity. She examines how models sell themselves, how agents promote them, and how clients decide to hire them. An original contribution to the sociology of work in the new cultural economy, Pricing Beauty offers rich, accessible analysis of the invisible ways in which gender, race, and class shape worth in the marketplace. ungekürzt.

    Ellis Renois is at the top of the fashion world and has built the Renois Company into a success that dominates the runways of the world. Ellis loves creating clothes, and she loves the beautiful women who wear them. While Ellis deals with design, she leaves the business aspect to others. It's a mistake that could cost her more than just her life's work. Charlotte Hamner has worked her way through school and is ready to make a better life for herself and her daughter Sawyer. She's far from the teenaged mother who worked a string of dead-end jobs to fulfill her dreams, so she's not about to fall victim to Ellis's easy charm. A summer job presents Charlotte with the chance to learn from Ellis, but it might also land her the position of head designer for Renois. But her promotion will come only through betrayal and perhaps at the cost of her heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: AJ Ferraro.

    For JetBlue, the ice storm of 2007 was a nightmare come true. Thousands of passengers were stranded, many of them locked for hours in planes on runways. How the airline handled the public relations damage, fixed the problems, and rehabilitated its image is a model of disaster control. Here's what JetBlue did right and what you can learn from their experience.For JetBlue's more than 100,000 stranded passengers, the February 14 ice storm of 2007 was the Valentine's Day Massacre: a bloodbath of endless lines, waiting in airports for days on end, or even being held hostage for as long as 10-and-a-half hours in grounded airplanes. The ice storm hit JetBlue's operational center, JFK airport, but delays soon spread to all 56 of its destinations. It took six full days to get back to normal. More than 1,000 flights were canceled, in excess of 100,000 passengers were stranded, and 2,500 bags went astray - many of them piling up in a huge mountain at JFK. Media coverage was relentless.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Toren. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/002145/bk_adbl_002145_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    A Moe Prager Mystery It's 1967 and Moe Prager is wandering aimlessly through his college career and his life. All that changes when his girlfriend Mindy is viciously beaten into a coma and left to die on the snow-covered streets of Brooklyn. Suddenly, Moe has purpose. He is determined to find out who's done this to Mindy and why. But Mindy is not the only person in Moe's life who's in danger. Someone is also trying to kill his best and oldest friend, Bobby Friedman. Things get really strange when Moe enlists the aid of Lids, a half-cracked genius drug pusher from the old neighborhood. Lids hooks Moe up with his first solid information. Problem is, the info seems to take Moe in five directions at once and leads to more questions than answers. How is a bitter old camp survivor connected to the dead man in the apartment above his fixit shop, or to the OD-ed junkie found on the boardwalk in Coney Island? What could an underground radical group have to do with the local Mafioso capo? And where do Mindy and Bobby fit into any of this? Moe will risk everything to find the answers. He will travel from the pot-holed pavement of Brighton Beach to the Pocono Mountains to the runways at Kennedy Airport. But no matter how far he goes or how fast he gets there, all roads lead to Onion Street. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andy Caploe.
