  Steel Wind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min

  What if North Korea’s sudden turn toward peace is a cunning act of misdirection?A routine Coast Guard inspection of a cargo ship in the Caribbean turns into a vicious firefight with unidentified Asian commandos. The second attempt to board the vessel ends with a nuclear detonation.North Korea has been smuggling short- and intermediate-range missiles into Cuba. An unknown number of nuclear warheads are hidden less than 100 miles from the tip of Florida. Every American city east of San Antonio is in the target zone.Scrambling to stop the flow of weapons to Cuba, the president orders the Atlantic Fleet to surround the island, cutting off all access. It’s the Cuban Missile Crisis all over again, but this time there won’t be a diplomatic resolution. The North Koreans have developed a secret weapon that rips through the blockade with ease, leaving burning ships and floating bodies in its wake.Against this unimagined threat stand a small detachment of US Marines and a cutting-edge destroyer that’s never been tested in combat.It’s a battle we never expected to fight, against an enemy we can barely comprehend.... ungekürzt.

  The Oxen at the Intersection: A Collision (or, Bill and Lou Must Die: A Real-Life Murder Mystery from the Green Mountains of Vermont) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min

  When Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, announced that two oxen called Bill and Lou would be killed and turned into hamburgers despite their years of service as unofficial college and town mascots, Pattrice Jones and her colleagues at nearby VINE Sanctuary offered an alternative scenario: to allow the elderly bovines to retire to the sanctuary. What transpired after this simple offer was a catastrophe of miscommunication, misdirection, and misinterpretations, as the college dug in its heels, activists piled on, and social media erupted. Part true-crime mystery, part on-the-ground reportage, and part sociocultural critique, The Oxen at the Intersection is a brilliant unearthing of the assumptions, preconceptions, and biases that led all concerned with the lives and deaths of these two animals to fail to achieve their ends. How and why the threads of this story unspooled, as Jones reveals, raises profound questions - most particularly about how ideas rooted in history, race, gender, region, and speciesism intersect and complicate strategy and activism, and their desired outcomes. In the end, notes Jones, we must always ask, "Where's the body?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris.

  A Child's Work: The Importance of Fantasy Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min

  The buzz word in education today is accountability. But the federal mandate of "no child left behind" has come to mean curriculums driven by preparation for standardized tests and quantifiable learning results. Even for very young children, unstructured creative time in the classroom is waning as teachers and administrators are under growing pressures to measure school readiness through rote learning and increased homework. In her new book, Vivian Gussin Paley decries this rapid disappearance of creative time and makes the case for the critical role of fantasy play in the psychological, intellectual, and social development of young children.A Child's Work goes inside classrooms around the globe to explore the stunningly original language of children in their role-playing and storytelling. Drawing from their own words, Paley examines how this natural mode of learning allows children to construct meaning in their worlds, meaning that carries through into their adult lives. Proof that play is the work of children, this compelling and enchanting book will inspire and instruct teachers and parents, as well as point to a fundamental misdirection in today's educational programs and strategies.The book is published by The University of Chicago Press. ungekürzt.

  Mаnірulаtіоn Tесhnіԛuеѕ: Dаrk Psychology Influencing Pеорlе wіth Persuasion, NLP and Mind Cоntrоl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min

  Manipulation is a massive concept that is apparent in almost every area of our social life. It is a puzzling motivating action aimed at interfering with another person's decision-making process, usually without his consent. These interference is achieved implicitly through the use of morally questionable techniques such as coercion, diversion, and misdirection. The trickery factor synonymous with deceit causes the practice to occur in almost infinite variations and in many different ways, ranging from a powerful weapon in the pursuit of indecent advertising to altruistic psychotherapy and even education steps. Nonetheless, social scientists have found out that without utilizing a certain degree of coercion, a successful improvement in human decision-making and actions cannot be accomplished. Manipulation is not exactly bribery, not manipulation, and not just deception-like. The enigmatic trend is located between these motivational behavior somewhere in the gray area, and this gray position poses critical difficulties in characterizing coercion and calculating its effect. The expert manipulator adopts tactics in a fashion that obscures his acts' moral and legal judgement. His sophisticated and illusive influencing methods challenge the wisdom of the open society's leading proponents. The problem exists in almost every aspect that can be considered, from politics to ads, employment, and even the most intimate relationships. ungekürzt.

  The Adjacent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 917min

  A photographer returns to a near-future Britain after the death of his wife in a terrorist incident in Afghanistan. And finds that the IRGB has, itself, been suffering terrorist attacks. But no-one knows quite what is happening or how. Just that there are similarities between what killed the photographer's wife and what happened in West London. Soon he is drawn into a hall of mirrors at the heart of government. In the First World War a magician is asked to travel to the frontline to help a naval aerial reconnaissance unit hide its planes from the German guns. On the way to France he meets a certain H.G. Wells. In the Second World War on the airfields of Bomber Commands there is also an obsession with camouflage, with misdirection. With deceit. And in a garden, an old man raises a conch shell to his ear and initiates the first Adjacency. Christopher Priest's novels have built him an inimitable dual reputation as a contemporary novelist and a leading figure in modern SF and fantasy. His novel The Prestige is unique in winning both a major literary prize (The James Tait Black Award and a major genre prize The World Fantasy Award); The Separation won both the Arthur C. Clarke and the British Science Fiction Awards. He was selected for the original Best of Young British Novelists in 1983. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Banks.
