Social business

Poverty is not just an emerging-market problem. In the United States more than 45 million people, or 15% of the population, are officially poor, according to the Census Bureau. Whats more, this percentage has increased every year but one (2006) since the 21st century began. At 16%, Japan is doing no better. And in the European Union almost 120 million peopleone in every fourare classified as at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

Good ideas

Very informative and has given me an idea on how to help in my local community.

I agree with Agatha Millers review. What a remarkable and inspirational women. You hear people complain about a lack of opportunities today because they sit and wait for things to happen while the Annies of the world get up off their duff and make it happen. This really was inspirational!

Title: Driving Honda

Subtitle: Inside the Worlds Most Innovative Car Company

Author: Jeffrey Rothfeder

Narrator: Mel Foster

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-31-14

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 47 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

For decades there have been two iconic Japanese auto companies. One has been endlessly studied and written about. The other has been generally underappreciated and misunderstood. Until now.

Since its birth as a motorcycle company in 1949, Honda has steadily grown into the worlds fifth largest automaker and top engine manufacturer, as well as one of the most beloved, most profitable, and most consistently innovative multinational corporations. What drives the company that keeps creating and improving award-winning and bestselling models like the Civic, Accord, Odyssey, CR-V, and Pilot?

According to Jeffrey Rothfeder, what truly distinguishes Honda from its competitors, especially archrival Toyota, is a deep commitment to a set of unorthodox management tenets. The Honda Way, as insiders call it, is notable for decentralization over corporate control, simplicity over complexity, experimentation over Six Sigma-driven efficiency, and unyielding cynicism toward the status quo and whatever is assumed to be the truth. Honda believes in freely borrowing from the past as a bridge to "innovative discontinuity" in the present. And those are just a few of the ideas that the companys colorful founder, Soichiro Honda, embedded in the DNA of his start-up sixty-five years ago.

turned into a political diatribe

first 3 chapters were good then somehow Honda disappeared into a free for all on world affairs

A great look look back at the man and the company

A great presentation of Soichiro Honda ' s modest beginnings and their innovative ways which have helped shaped the automotive industry and set new standards in automobile manufacturing.

Title: At the Mercy of Nature

Subtitle: Shackleton's Survival Saga Gives Promise for Our Future

Author: Carl N. McDaniel

Narrator: Andrew Hogbin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-29-14

Publisher: The Hub Sound Center

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. On December 5, 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton, along with 27 men aboard the ship Endurance, departed South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean for Vahsel Bayon the northeast coast of Antarctica with the intent of trekking across the continent. On August 20, 1916, Shackleton on the Yelcho picked up 22 men on the northeast coast of Elephant Island. Between those two dates Shackleton and his men lived the most notable survival story in recorded history.

Biologist Carl N. McDaniel retells the story of the Endurance Party in detail to provide the listener with an appreciation of what an extraordinary accomplishment Shackleton and his men achieved. Individuals familiar with the Endurance Party's story have offered reasons for their survival including discipline, leadership, optimism, skills, talents, and teamwork, good luck, and supernatural forces. McDaniel considers in detail these explanations and then adds another heretofore unmentioned: use of verifiable evidence-based knowledge acquired by the scientific method for making important decisions. None of these reasons alone is sufficient; however, without McDaniel's final reason it is extremely likely they would have perished.

Humanity is challenged by a handful of interdependent situations similar to those faced by the Endurance Party including climate change, loss of biodiversity and the life support it provides, over population and over consumption, and a dysfunctional economic system. McDaniel reviews the history and relevant science for each arguing that resolving them requires we employ verifiable evidence-based knowledge.

Members Reviews:

McDaniel tricked me!

Any additional comments?

By far the most interesting and exciting story I have ever had the pleasure to read! The most amazing thing about this story is that I had to keep reminding myself that I was not reading a fiction novel. It was written so well that it is impossible to believe that McDaniel was not there with Shackleton himself!

That was the first story

Then he threw in another story, a story about science that 99% of liberals would read and 1% of conservatives would read. Well, I am a conservative and I would not have read itbut I must say that I am glad that I did! Of course I did not agree with everything he mentioned, and connecting the two stories into one book was a little bit of a stretch for me, but the first story was so good that I had to finish the entire bookand Im very glad that I did! I learned a lot that I would not have ever learned; call me close-minded but I simply would have preferred to read something else with my time other than something on global warming. However, it was much more than that and having that knowledge at my fingertips has enlightened me to a point in which I did not think I could get enlightened! Thank you, Dr. McDaniel, you have "nudged" my point of view on many fundamental things that have blinded me over the last decade.

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

A biographical story written in 1888, this is a look at both Professor Morse as well as those who inspired him. We get to experience the frustration he felt at the initial lack of backing by the U.S. Government, and the joy he experienced at proving his theories and expanding the reach of his greatest invention - the telegraph. We also learn that, beyond a profound inventor, Morse was first known as a very gifted artist. This is a biographical sketch for all ages. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
