Title: From the Other Side of the World

Subtitle: Extraordinary Entrepreneurs, Unlikely Places

Author: Elmira Bayrasili

Narrator: Tavia Gilbert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's Summary:

Why the next Steve Jobs is just as likely to come from Lagos, Acapulco, Lahore, or Mumbai as from Silicon Valley.

Elmira Bayrasli's colorful narrative brings listeners inside the world of high-growth entrepreneurs as they overcome vexing obstacles to build businesses that create jobs and economic growth and - perhaps most important - shift mindsets. Here are the people who personify the transformative force of entrepreneurship from parts of the world that will be the source of the overwhelming amount of economic growth over the next 25 years.

Bülent Çelebi applies creative genius as he searches for the talent needed to roll out a wireless mesh technology, convincing skeptics from Europe and America that a breakthrough like this could be developed in Turkey. Tayo Oviosu grapples with the poor infrastructure and political chaos to bring financial services to the vast majority of Nigerians who lack access to banks and other financial institutions.

Bayrasli takes us on an extraordinary journey, with fascinating eyewitness accounts of courage, endurance, and ingenuity, as people in some of the world's most challenging societies build globally competitive products and services that garner international praise and investment. As these extraordinary entrepreneurs create new economic possibilities in their countries, it becomes clear that the same game-changing creative development that happened in Silicon Valley in the 1960s is occurring right now in unexpected places on "the other side of the world".

Critic Reviews:

"Meet seven entrepreneurs who have persisted and prevailed despite difficult circumstances (including outright harassment) in order to achieve success in some of the most corrupt corners of the world. By conveying the ingenuity, courage, and smarts of these entrepreneurs, Elmira Bayrasli shows us people can thrive and create opportunities for others even in the most hostile and difficult situations."

Title: Book Publishing: The Dark Side of the Publishing Industry

Subtitle: What Big Publishers Don't Want You to Know

Author: Timothy Aldred

Narrator: Aaron Sinn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-22-15

Publisher: Timothy Aldred, LLC

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

The explosive tell-all!

In October 2006 Timothy Aldred's daughter, author Millenia Black, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against New York publishing giant Penguin Group (USA). After two years Penguin Group settled the case with his daughter out of court, and she is prohibited from ever discussing the details of the case again.

Inside you will learn:

And much more!

Injustices flourish in silence, and the truth about the publishing industry's treatment of certain writers must be spoken until all writers are treated equally. Big publishing companies use their power to keep certain discriminatory practices hidden while continuing to maintain a centuries-old mind-set of inherent superiority.

(Previously published as Why They Gagged My Daughter.)

Members Reviews:

What the ......

This audio book was a "can't believe what I'm hearing" book. Publishers shouldn't be able to even meet the author, even agents shouldn't be allowed to tell the publishers anything about the author. After the book is published that would be a different matter. But books should be published on whether they are good or not, not based on skin color.

Shame on the Penguin!

Good informative book.

Eye-opening

Aldred, from Jamaica, shares the experience of his daughter's court case against a large publisher. Aldred wrote the book as a kind of expose of engrained discrimination. I can tell he is driven by passion for his family, desire for justice, and truth. I hope this book can start conversations and create understanding.

Publishing is a high dollar industry, and like all industries, is concerned with making money. I was stunned to hear this account about how publishers wanted to market the works of Millenia Black (Aldred's daughter) because she was African American. It wasn't based on the content of the book, which had no African American characters. Authors should be evaluated based on their talent and content of their books, regardless of their background! Ms. Black and the publisher settled out of court and a gag order was established.

Sinn is an excellent narrator.

Title: Eating People Is Wrong, and Other Essays on Famine, Its Past, and Its Future

Author: Cormac Ó Gráda

Narrator: Stephen McLaughlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Famines are becoming smaller and rarer, but optimism about the possibility of a famine-free future must be tempered by the threat of global warming. That is just one of the arguments that Cormac Ó Gráda, one of the world's leading authorities on the history and economics of famine, develops in this wide-ranging audiobook, which provides crucial new perspectives on key questions raised by famines around the globe between the 17th and 21st centuries.

The book begins with a taboo topic. Ó Gráda argues that cannibalism, while by no means a universal feature of famines and never responsible for more than a tiny proportion of famine deaths, has probably been more common during very severe famines than previously thought. The book goes on to offer new interpretations of two of the 20th century's most notorious and controversial famines, the Great Bengal Famine and the Chinese Great Leap Forward Famine. Ó Gráda questions the standard view of the Bengal Famine as a perfect example of market failure, arguing instead that the primary cause was the unwillingness of colonial rulers to divert food from their war effort.

The book also addresses the role played by traders and speculators during famines more generally, invoking evidence from famines in France, Ireland, Finland, Malawi, Niger, and Somalia since the 1600s and overturning Adam Smith's claim that government attempts to solve food shortages always cause famines.

Thought provoking and important, this is essential listening for historians, economists, demographers, and anyone else who is interested in the history and possible future of famine.

Title: Monsanto Case Analysis

Author: Trevor Clinger

Narrator: Trevor Clinger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-03-15

Publisher: Trevor Clinger

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

This case analysis is about a company called Monsanto and the belief that their use of genetically modified goods is, allegedly, doing more harm than good. Monsanto has responded to opposition by indicating that newly developed, genetically modified food is the only way to combat world hunger. The company believes that this opposition to genetically modified food will soon pass.

This essay serves as a great example of how to perform a case study; it also tackles myths and business practices surrounding Monsanto.

I hold an associate's degree in business management and a bachelor's degree in business administration, having graduated cum laude.

Members Reviews:

Wow I didn't know this about Monsanto!

Would you listen to Monsanto Case Analysis again? Why?

I would because it's important that this information about Monsanto gets heard and then shared to others.

What did you like best about this story?

How truthful and revealing it was.

10 min opinion without substance

What disappointed you about Monsanto Case Analysis?

It has no objective data. It has no novel idea. In a nutshell Monsanto is a "good" "ethical" company that failed to make better advertisement of its awesome goofs I mean goods. Please give me my money back!

What could Trevor Clinger have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Little. He is already firmly for Monsanto so there is no objectivity.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Trevor Clinger?

No comment

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Monsanto Case Analysis?

This book should not be for sale.

Any additional comments?

Monsanto rules our food and I am surprised that the only book available is this weak audio book. In paper you have Marie Monique Robin, "The World According to Monsanto" for example. Is this lack of audio titles by design?

An educational take on Monsanto

The author too a very intelligent approach in analyzing the company Monsanto and all of it's actions that has carried out in the past. This is a great scholarly reference, and it had superb organization and detail. Highly recommend!

Not particularly insightful

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Somewhat monotonous, and failure to clearly recite the history of atrocities that Monsanto deemed "safe".

Would you ever listen to anything by Trevor Clinger again?

possibly

Would you be willing to try another one of Trevor Clingers performances?

depends on the subject matter

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Monsanto Case Analysis?

Candidly, I would have much preferred a decade by decade recital of Monsanto products that were anything, but safe. Then a more scientific approach to discussing GMO's and then a discussion about the lawsuits against farmer's who had there crops "contaminated" by Monsanto seeds (thereby losing their "organic crop" designation) and then being sued by Monsanto just because the seeds desalinated to their farms from nearby farms.
