    Can Intervention Work? (Norton Global Ethics Series) (eBook, ePUB)
    Best-selling author Rory Stewart and political economist Gerald Knaus examine the impact of large-scale interventions, from Bosnia to Afghanistan. "A fresh and critically important perspective on foreign interventions” (Washington Post), Can Intervention Work? distills Rory Stewart's (author of The Places In Between) and Gerald Knaus's remarkable firsthand experiences of political and military interventions into a potent examination of what we can and cannot achieve in a new era of nation building. As they delve into the massive, military-driven efforts in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the authors reveal each effort's enormous consequences for international relations, human rights, and our understanding of state building. Stewart and Knaus parse carefully the philosophies that have informed interventionism—from neoconservative to liberal imperialist—and draw on their diverse experiences in the military, nongovernmental organizations, and the Iraqi provincial government to reveal what we can ultimately expect from large-scale interventions and how they might best realize positive change in the world. Author and columnist Fred Kaplan calls Can Intervention Work? "the most thorough examination of the subject [of intervention] that I've read in a while.”

    Outlaw Rising
    Sloane Tarnish has always secretly admired her outlaw of an uncle and his tales of not-so-legal adventures across the galaxy-but she never thought she'd be asked to help with one of his heists. When Uncle Vin shows up on her med school campus with a plan to steal a chip full of Fleet intelligence-and the baffling idea to have her play a key role in the scheme-Sloane's got her doubts. Uncle Vin doesn't seem to realize that her top skills involve the kind of shots you drink, not the ones you fire. But Vin's convinced the Fleet's got plans to install empirical rule across the free galaxy, and that this data could stop them before they can begin. When a bunch of rogue delivery drones start taking shots at her-and not the liquid kind-she has to figure he's onto something. To prove it, all she needs to do is steal the data key from the middle of a Fleet ball… and right out from under the Commander's nose. Too bad she's got absolutely no idea what she's doing… Outlaw Rising is the prequel novella to the Parse Galaxy space opera adventure series.

    The Rule of Empires: Those Who Built Them Those Who Endured Them and Why They Always Fall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1531min
    In The Rule of Empires, Timothy Parsons gives a sweeping account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent twentieth-century embodiment. He explains what constitutes an empire and offers suggestions about what empires of the past can tell us about our own historical moment. Parsons uses imperial examples that stretch from ancient Rome, to Britain's "new" imperialism in Kenya, to the Third Reich to parse the features common to all empires, their evolutions and self-justifying myths, and the reasons for their inevitable decline. Parsons argues that far from confirming some sort of Darwinian hierarchy of advanced and primitive societies, conquests were simply the products of a temporary advantage in military technology, wealth, and political will. Beneath the self-justifying rhetoric of benevolent paternalism and cultural superiority lay economic exploitation and the desire for power. Yet imperial ambitions still appear viable in the twenty-first century, Parsons shows, because their defenders and detractors alike employ abstract and romanticized perspectives that fail to grasp the historical reality of subjugation. Writing from the perspective of the common subject rather than that of the imperial conquerors, Parsons offers a historically grounded cautionary tale rich with accounts of subjugated peoples throwing off the yoke of empire time and time again. In providing an accurate picture of what it is like to live as a subject, The Rule of Empires lays bare the rationalizations of imperial conquerors and their apologists and exposes the true limits of hard power. ungekürzt.

    Modified: GMOs and the Threat to Our Food, Our Land, Our Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 695min
    A disquieting and meditative look at the issue that started the biggest food fight of our time: GMOs. From a journalist and mother who learned that genetically modified corn was the culprit behind what was making her and her child sick, a must-listen book for anyone trying to parse the incendiary discussion about genetically modified foods. GMO products are among the most consumed and the least understood substances in the United States today. They appear not only in the food we eat but in everything from the interior coating of paper coffee cups and medicines to diapers and toothpaste. We are often completely unaware of their presence. Caitlin Shetterly discovered the importance of GMOs the hard way. Shortly after she learned that her son had an alarming sensitivity to GMO corn, she was told that she had the same condition, and her family's daily existence changed forever. An expansion of Shetterly's viral Elle article "The Bad Seed", Modified delves deep into the heart of the matter - from the cornfields of Nebraska to the beekeeping conventions in Brussels - to shine a light on the people, the science, and the corporations behind the food we serve ourselves and our families every day. Deeper than an exposé and written by a mother and journalist whose journey had no agenda other than to understand the nuance and confusion behind GMOs, Modified is a rare breed of book that will at once make you weep at the majestic beauty of our Great Plains and force you to harvest deep seeds of doubt about the invisible monsters currently infiltrating our food and our land and threatening our future. ungekürzt.

With effective and efficient communication, people are able to lead with compassion and understanding, to find success, and to reach their goals with greater ease. Communication Skills for Everyday People understands the following: It can be all too easy to be misunderstood in this world. All too often arguments grow in both personal and work relationships, ultimately resulting in breakups, deep-seated anger, and - in the business world, at least - loss of professional positions (and potentially lawsuits). Never allow a lack of communication skills to decrease your ability to reach your goals and meet your potential. People with effective and efficient communication are better at delivering their emotions, their opinions, and their intelligence to others. Thus they are the leaders of this world. They inspire and motivate people. They make money easily because they communicate their abilities to others with ease, allowing other people to trust them enough to buy their products and ideas. Be a strong leader. Be an effective communicator. Make people think your opinions and ideas matter. So much of this world is based on communication. When you take the step-by-step skills outlined in this book and apply them, you'll be able to reap the rewards of enhanced communication. You'll actually be heard in this world rather than talked over. With effective communication you can achieve success at work and at home. You can parse relationship issues without misunderstanding. And most of all, you can feel that you're representing yourself well and delivering your true self to the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wendell Wadsworth.

    The Last One: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min
    Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Oliva's fast-paced novel of suspense. She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this far. It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happens - but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of them - a young woman the show's producers call Zoo - stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game. Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the life - and husband - she left behind, but she refuses to quit. Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo must summon all her survival skills - and learn new ones as she goes. But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she grasps that the real world might have been altered in terrifying ways, and her ability to parse the charade will be either her triumph or her undoing. Sophisticated and provocative, The Last One is a novel that forces us to confront the role that media plays in our perception of what is real: how readily we cast our judgments, how easily we are manipulated. Praise for The Last One“[Alexandra] Oliva brilliantly scrutinizes the recorded (and heavily revised) narratives we believe, and the last one hundred pages will have the reader constantly guessing just what Zoo is capable of doing to find her way back home.” (Washington Post)“A high-concept, high-octane affair... The conceit is undoubtedly clever and...well executed, but what makes The Last One such a page-turner is Zoo herself: practical, tough-minded and appealing.” (The Guardian)“Oliva takes this (possib ungekürzt.
