Title: Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, the Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time

Author: Stephen Rebello

Narrator: Paul Boehmer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:32:25

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Arts & Entertainment, Literary Criticism

Summary:

Since its publication in 1966, Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls has reigned as one of the most influential and beloved pieces of commercial fiction. Selling over thirty-one million copies worldwide, it revolutionized overnight the way books got sold, thanks to the tireless and canny self-promoting Susann. Turned in 1967 into an international box-office sensation and morphing into a much-beloved cult film, its influence endures today in everything from films and TV shows to fashion and cosmetics tributes and tie-ins.

Dolls! Dolls! Dolls! digs deep into the creation of that hugely successful film-a journey nearly as cut-throat, sexually-charged, tragic, and revelatory as Susann's novel itself-and uncovers how the movie has become a cherished, widely imitated camp classic, thanks to its over-the-top performances, endlessly quotable absurd dialogue, outre costumes and hairdos, despite the high aspirations, money, and talent lavished on it. Screenwriter-journalist-film historian Stephen Rebello has conducted archival research and new interviews to draw back the velvet curtain on the behind-the-scenes intrigue, feuds and machinations that marked the film's production. In doing so, he unveils a rich, detailed history of fast-changing, late 1960s Hollywood, on screen and off.

Title: Still Not Safe: Patient Safety and the Middle-Managing of American Medicine

Author: Kathleen M. Sutcliffe, Robert L. Wears

Narrator: Mike Lenz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:12:33

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Summary:

Still Not Safe is the story of the rise of the patient-safety movement-and how an 'epidemic' of medical errors was derived from a reality that didn't support such a characterization. Physician Robert Wears and organizational theorist Kathleen Sutcliffe trace the origins of patient safety to the emergence of market trends that challenged the place of doctors in the larger medical ecosystem: the rise in medical litigation and physicians' aversion to risk; institutional changes in the organization and control of healthcare; and a bureaucratic movement to 'rationalize' medical practice-to make a hospital run like a factory.

If these social factors challenged the place of practitioners, then the patient-safety movement provided a means for readjustment. In spite of relatively constant rates of medical errors in the preceding decades, the 'epidemic' was announced in 1999 with the publication of the Institute of Medicine report To Err Is Human; the reforms that followed came to be dominated by the very professions it set out to reform.

Title: Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-Create Race in the Twenty-First Century

Author: Dorothy Roberts

Narrator: Janina Edwards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:54:03

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry, Social Science, Philosophy

Summary:

An incisive, groundbreaking book that examines how a biological concept of race is a myth that promotes inequality in a supposedly 'post-racial' era.

Though the Human Genome Project proved that human beings are not naturally divided by race, the emerging fields of personalized medicine, reproductive technologies, genetic genealogy, and DNA databanks are attempting to resuscitate race as a biological category written in our genes.

This groundbreaking book by legal scholar and social critic Dorothy Roberts examines how the myth of race as a biological concept-revived by purportedly cutting-edge science, race-specific drugs, genetic testing, and DNA databases-continues to undermine a just society and promote inequality in a supposedly 'post-racial' era.

Title: Aerial Warfare: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Frank Ledwidge

Narrator: Jonathan Yen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:59:27

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

Aerial warfare has dominated war-making for over 100 years, and despite regular announcements of its demise, it shows no sign of becoming obsolete. In this Very Short Introduction Frank Ledwidge offers a sweeping look at the history of aerial warfare, introducing the major battles, crises, and controversies where air power has taken center stage, and the changes in technology and air power capabilities over time. Highlighting the role played by air power in the First and Second World Wars, he also sheds light on the lesser-known theaters where the roles of air forces have been clearly decisive in conflicts, in Africa, South America, and Asia.

Along the way, Ledwidge asks key questions about the roles air power can deliver, and whether it is conceptually different from other forms of combat. Considering whether bombing has ever been truly effective, he discusses whether wars can be won from the air, and concludes by analyzing whether there is a future for manned air power, or if it is inevitable that drones will dominate 21st century war in the air.

Summary:

Where does business come from? That's the question every real estate agent asks but few have a truthful answer for. In an industry constantly selling the 'easy button' and overrun with shiny widgets, agents are pulled in multiple directions at once, each promising that if they 'just do this,' their dreams of success and fortune will come true.

After twenty years in the business, Tim and Julie Harris tell the hard truths about what it really takes to make it in real estate. The new, revised edition of Harris Rules outlines specific, actionable, and proven rules of engagement that any agent-rookie or veteran-can count on as they pursue their real-estate funded goals and dreams. Harris Rules lays the groundwork, beginning with how agents need to think about the business. Moving them forward with a step-by-step action plan, Tim and Julie show agents how to create longevity by scaling the business and then teach them how to monetize it.

In this book, you'll learn: how to control your mindset to get more things done, even when you don't 'feel' like it; the ideal schedule of a top-producing agent; why you can't rely on only one method of generating leads; how to use the proven Seven-Step Listing Process to win the listing virtually every time; and how to really achieve financial freedom.
