Title: New Lives for Old

Author: Ernest Holmes

Narrator: John Marino

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-17

Publisher: Majestic

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Would you like to trade in your old car for a new model without any extra expense to yourself? Or would you like to refurnish your home? Wouldn't it be strange if your car or home could remodel themselves so that nothing about them could wear out? This sounds kind of fantastic, doesn't it? And yet, we are told that none of us is more than a year old physically, that our entire body is renewed every year.

If we would inquire into the possibility of rejuvenation, perhaps this thing called "life" has already provided the solution - giving us new bodies for old as we travel along the pathway of life. But what about the mind? It is now becoming accepted, in some groups, that the mind does not grow old - that the mind of a man at 90 is as young as a boy of 10. While maturity slows it down somewhat - at the same time, there is no reason to believe that the mind really ages.

Title: If You Tame Me

Subtitle: Understanding Our Connection with Animals

Author: Leslie Irvine

Narrator: Anna Crowe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Nearly everyone who cares about dogs or cats knows that they have a sense of self that renders them unique. Yet traditional science and philosophy declare such feelings irrational and anthropomorphic. Animals, they say, have only the crudest form of thought and no sense of self at all. Leslie Irvine's If You Tame Me challenges these entrenched views by demonstrating that our experience of animals and their behavior tell a different story. In particular, dogs and cats have been significant elements in human history and valued members of our households for centuries. Why do we regard these companions as having distinct personalities and as being irreplaceable? Irvine looks closely at how people form connections with dogs and cats available for adoption in a shelter and reflects on her own relationships with animals. If You Tame Me makes a persuasive case for the existence of a sense of self in companion animals and calls upon us to reconsider our rights and obligations regarding the non-human creatures in our lives.

The book is published by Temple University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"The book will also most certainly inspire animal lovers, who will gain more understanding about cats and dogs." (Anthrozoos)

"This volume is an important contribution to the recent explosion of sociological analyses of the roles of animals in human life." (The American Journal of Sociology)

"I learned much from reading this excellent book. I wish it a long life!" (Jeffrey Masson, author of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals)

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

A great book.

Awesome Book

This book is awesome and I love it because I want to open a nonprofit animal shelter and do my dissertation on canine behavior and my epistemology teacher said this cannot be related to scientific theory. Well Leslie Irvine proved her wrong!!! Thank you MS. Irvine for such a wonderful book! Read it in a couple of days!:)

Christine

Thought provoking and thoroughly enjoyable

Sociologist Dr Leslie Irvine's If You Tame Me is a very important and inspiring book. It will be of great interest to all who love animals and are concerned about their welfare. If you sense a kinship with nonhuman animals and the natural world, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. It is very well-written and well researched. It takes many of the assumptions that we commonly make about the animal "other" and skilfully dismantles them to reveal pernicious social constructs that should stimulate us all to be more cognizant of how we treat other species. I couldn't put it down!

Another GOOD BOOK!

This is a book highly recommended by people in the know about living with animals. I wish there was a book like this about humans.

Wonderfully inspiring read

Leslie Irvine's voice provides those in animal science, animal welfare and just plan animal lovers with a new insight into the psychological relationship of the human-animal bond. A compelling theoretical read with real-life examples. A must have in any animal welfare/animal social policy or human-animal bond literature.

Riepilogo Editore:

"L'Italia è una Repubblica democratica, fondata sul lavoro"; questo è ciò che troviamo scritto nel primo articolo della nostra bella Costituzione. Secondo questo semplice, ma fondamentale principio quindi il lavoro dovrebbe essere riconosciuto come uno dei valori basilari della vita economica e sociale dell'Italia.

Il lavoro, infatti, viene identificato prima di tutto come un diritto del cittadino, ma anche come un suo dovere, a seconda che esso sia un lavoro dipendente o un'altra attività capace di produrre reddito e conseguenze positive sulla società. Lo stato italiano riveste un ruolo importante nei rapporti lavorativi in quanto ogni tipo di attività svolta dal cittadino, considerata lavoro, è regolata da leggi e tasse ben precise.

Questi elementi insieme creano il muro contro il quale a volte si infrangono sogni e speranze di molti giovani per cui le aspettative sono tante. Cercheremo quindi di capire le cause della disoccupazione giovanile, analizzeremo i nuovi lavori, prenderemo in considerazione le possibili strade per una generazione che costituisce il futuro del nostro paese.

Titel: Das Black-Box-Prinzip

Untertitel: Warum Fehler uns weiterbringen

Autor:: Matthew Syed

Erzähler: Robert Frank

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 12 hrs and 19 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-29-17

Herausgeber: Audible Studios

Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Lernen aus Fehlern hat den Status eines Klischees, aber Matthew Syed zeigt, was hinter der erfolgreichsten Lernmethode der Menschheit steckt, und gibt Einblick in die Bandbreite der Techniken, die die innovativsten Organisationen der Welt nutzen. Denn der wichtigste Faktor des Erfolgs ist eine positive Einstellung zum Scheitern.

Menschen, die gezielt aus Fehlern lernen, anstatt sie zu vertuschen oder anderen in die Schuhe zu schieben, nennt Matthew Syed Black-Box-Denker. Dazu sind jedoch nur wenige in der Lage. Auch in vielen Unternehmen geht man mit Misserfolgen nicht offen und ohne Schuldzuweisungen um. Syed bietet aufschlussreiche Analysen für dieses Verhalten. Zu welchen Erfolgen hingegen ein offensiver Umgang mit Fehlern führen kann, zeigt Syed anhand konkreter Beispiele aus der Welt des Sports oder von erfolgreichen Unternehmen wie Google, Pixar und Dropbox.

>> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Matthew Syeds Buch liest sich über weite Strecken wie ein spannender Action-Thriller, insbesondere wenn er Beispiele aus der Luftfahrt schildert. Durch die ungemein lebendige und packende Erzählweise gelingt es dem ehemaligen Tischtennis-Profi seinen Lesern die Fälle, anhand derer er seine Thesen entwickelt, ungemein nah zu bringen. Sehr überzeugend wirkt dabei insbesondere seine Fähigkeit, die Sachverhalte sehr differenziert und aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu betrachten.

Title: Reflections on War and Death

Author: Sigmund Freud

Narrator: D. E. Wittkower

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-22-17

Publisher: SAGA Egmont

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Anyone, as Freud tells us in "Reflections on War and Death", forced to react against his own impulses may be described as a hypocrite, whether he is conscious of it or not. One might even venture to assert - it is still Freud's argument - that our contemporary civilization favors this sort of hypocrisy and that there are more civilized hypocrites than truly cultured persons, and it is even a question whether a certain amount of hypocrisy is not indispensable to maintain civilization.

Members Reviews:

Narrator's affect is truly depressing..

Freud is great but the narrator's voice makes me want to kill myself! Perhaps he was chosen by a non English-speaking person. Sorry Mr. Wittkower but who knows how many lives have been lost because of your instrument! Actually, if you turn the read speed to 1.25 it's much better, even though it may always be said, war and death is a good reason to feel depressed.

Title: World's Richest Countries

Author: IntroBooks

Narrator: Andrea Giordani

Format: Unabridged

Length: 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-17

Publisher: IntroBooks

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

A frequently asked question is what makes a country richer than the others. How could some countries be so flourished where technology has reached a zenith and continues to improve while some countries still struggle to get a basic Internet connection? For years economists have tried to get into the depth, seeking for answers which seem to be warped. There are different points and conditions that help in a country to be more developed and better in economic conditions than the others. Culture, political conditions, geophysical location on the globe, natural calamities, society, and natural resources are some of them. The fact on how rich a country is can be determined by its gross domestic product or GDP per capita at nominal values. Countries compete amongst each other to reach the frontline in the long race of progress and development and to be the number one in the world. The list of the richest countries tends to change every year depending on how much luck, nature, and politicians have helped in keeping them ahead of everyone.

Title: Square One

Subtitle: The Foundations of Knowledge

Author: Steve Patterson

Narrator: Steve Patterson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: Steve Patterson

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

"Truth is discoverable. I'm certain of it. It's not popular to say. It's not popular to think. But I know it's true."

So begins an examination into the most fundamental questions in philosophy. Does objective truth exist? Can we know anything with certainty? Are there true logical contradictions?

Steve Patterson answers emphatically, "We can know absolute, certain, and objective truths. These truths serve as the foundation for the rest of our knowledge."

Square One is an examination of knowledge, logic, and the extreme skepticism that permeates modern thinking. It contains several refutations to popular attacks on human reason, including a resolution to the Liar's Paradox.

Patterson writes in an easy-to-hear, non-academic style. There's no jargon or long-winded pontificating about ideas that don't matter. This audiobook is a response to those who insist, "Truth cannot be known."

Members Reviews:

An introduction to the foundations of cognition

Square One does exactly what it sets out to do: demonstrate that all knowledge stems from the inscrutable certainty that things are the way they are, and the rest is just clarifying exactly what that means.

I'm very familiar with the laws of logic and identity, and I have to admit that for the first few chapters I was wondering if I was going to get anything new from this short book. By the end though, I found many of Patterson's illustrations and arguments sufficiently illuminating that I feel my understanding of something I thought was very familiar to now be enhanced. I particularly like Patterson's insistence that everything which appears to be a logical contradiction is actually just semantic imprecision.

Ideally, Square One would work best as an introduction to a longer series of the application of logic. Perhaps there is a Square Two in the works where we learn how to apply reason to our observations in a scientific manner, but on its own it still works for the foundation of cognition. The writing is never overly academic or posturing for the run-of-the-mill non-academic philosopher. Use the lessons contained here to help the young intellectuals in your life build the branches and leaves of their worldview from a trunk of certainty and intellectual honesty.
