    Self-Tracking: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 276min
    People keep track. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin kept charts of time spent and virtues lived up to. Today people use technology to self-track: hours slept, steps taken, calories consumed, medications administered. Ninety million wearable sensors were shipped in 2014 to help us gather data about our lives. This audiobook examines how people record, analyze, and reflect on this data, looking at the tools they use and the communities they become parts of. Gina Neff and Dawn Nafus describe what happens when people turn their everyday experiences - in particular, health and wellness-related experiences - into data and offer an introduction to the essential ideas and key challenges of using these technologies. They consider self-tracking as a social and cultural phenomenon, describing not only the use of data as a kind of mirror of the self but also how this enables people to connect to and learn from others. Neff and Nafus consider what's at stake: who wants our data and why; the practices of serious self-tracking enthusiasts; the design of commercial self-tracking technology; and how self-tracking can fill gaps in the health-care system. Today no one can lead an entirely untracked life. Neff and Nafus show us how to use data in a way that empowers and educates.

    The Routes of Man: How Roads are Changing the World and the Way We Live Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 797min
    Roads bind our world—metaphorically and literally—transforming landscapes and the lives of the people who inhabit them. Roads have unparalleled power to impact communities, unite worlds and sunder them, and reveal the hopes and fears of those who travel them.With his marvelous eye for detail and his contagious enthusiasm, Ted Conover explores six of these key byways worldwide. In Peru, he traces the journey of a load of rare mahogany over the Andes to its origin, an untracked part of the Amazon basin soon to be traversed by a new east-west route across South America. In East Africa, he visits truckers whose travels have been linked to the worldwide spread of AIDS. In the West Bank, he monitors highway checkpoints with Israeli soldiers and then passes through them with Palestinians, witnessing the injustices and danger borne by both sides. He shuffles down a frozen riverbed with teenagers escaping their Himalayan valley to see how a new road will affect the now-isolated Indian region of Ladakh. From the passenger seat of a new Hyundai piling up the miles, he describes the exuberant upsurge in car culture as highways proliferate across China. And from inside an ambulance, he offers an apocalyptic but precise vision of Lagos, Nigeria, where congestion and chaos on freeways signal the rise of the global megacity.A spirited, urgent book that reveals the costs and benefits of being connected—how, from ancient Rome to the present, roads have played a crucial role in human life, advancing civilization even as they set it back. ungekürzt.

    Fair Is Foul and Foul Is Fair: The Malone Mystery Novels, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
    Maverick hero and former Hollywood Division police detective Ben Malone, from Come What May, is back in another action-packed, thrilling adventure, this time as a Los Angeles private investigator. A beautiful blonde socialite, with a penchant for seduction and secrets to keep, witnesses a murder and turns to LA private eye Ben Malone for help. Known for playing it fast and loose with the rules, the eccentric Shamus has a decided weakness for attractive women. A vicious LA mob figure gets tossed into the mix, and the body count rises. What else could go wrong? Three more murders occur that are connected to the one witnessed by his client before Malone's investigation gets untracked. From there, like an out of control roller coaster, things go downhill fast and from bad to worse. First Malone learns that the string of murders is mob-connected. The man believed behind them is a heavy hitter, the violent and ruthless head of the Ukrainian mafia in Los Angeles. He is a man who, Malone soon learns, will stop at nothing to get his hands on Malone's client. Malone's own love interest, feisty psychiatrist Sara Bernstein, gets caught in the mobster's crosshairs and is abducted and held hostage by the mobster as leverage to force Malone to betray the whereabouts of his client. Along the way Malone also discovers that things may not be as they first appeared with his drop-dead gorgeous client. She may be a femme fatale up to her pretty little ears in some criminal malfeasance of her own. Malone races against time, first to rescue the woman he loves and then to sort the innocent from the guilty in time to escape in one piece from what rapidly evolves into a complicated web of deceit and criminal wrongdoing, where it seems that fair is foul, and foul is fair. ungekürzt.

    A rendez-vous, probably destiny. A radical change of direction, a sudden turn and here comes the unplanned! Nothing by chance, never! Chance doesn't exist because nothing is casual in the cosmos, everything's got a reason. Music is a common property but doesn't belong to anyone. A carpet where Art rubs on, dozes off, spreads about, keeps swinging, charging and discharging itself. A concert, a recording's studio session are always miracles, always unpredictable and unique, as the whole thing keeps moving and changing. Never dare stop this magical and natural course. The SF music is NOT composed, NOT reasoned, NOT laid down. It's an untracked path where you can't see the start or the end. You can follow it and still leave it behind, away and behind. You keep going, you don't stop, never seeing further ahead... always a surprise, note by note... here and now! Avoiding picking from known music or from past actions just to earn profit. Rationality is a state of mind, making way to your inner bowels, to sensations that carry and bring back to your emotions ..... Ego is disconnected! Music to listen on and on... everywhere... with your feelings, close and then open your eyes and wonder where you've been carried away. I thank with all my heart Fiorenzo, Bebo and Christian 'cause they created with me this musical moment and not only, i thank Carlo Cantini for masterfully capturing it. The precious participations by Alan Farrington and Maxx Furian have enriched music: giving and changing much. Evolution is always there when art meets creativity. Mauro Negri.
