Title: Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream

Author: Barbara Ehrenreich

Narrator: Anne Twomey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:52:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-07-05

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Genres: Business & Economics

Summary:

The bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed goes back undercover to do for America's ailing middle class what she did for the working poor.

Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed explored the lives of low-wage workers. Now, in BAIT AND SWITCH, she enters another hidden realm of the economythe world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with a plausible resume of a professional 'in transition,' attempts to land a 'middle class job' undergoing career coaching and personality testing, then begins trawling a series of EST-like 'boot camps,' job fairs, 'networking events,' and evangelical job-search 'ministries.' She gets an 'image makeover' to prepare her for the corporate world and works hard to project the 'winning attitude' recommended for a successful job search. She is proselytized, scammed, lectured and, again and again, rejected.

BAIT AND SWITCH highlights the people who've done everything rightgotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive resumesyet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster and not simply due to the vagaries of the business cycle. Today's ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding their 'surplus' employeesplunging them, for months or years at a stretch, into the twilight zone of white-collar unemployment, where job-searching becomes a full-time job in itself. As Ehrenreich discovers, there are few social supports for the new disposable workersand little security even for those who have jobs.

Like the now classic Nickel and Dimed, BAIT AND SWITCH is alternately hilarious and tragic, a searing expose of economic cruelty where we least expect it.

From the only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting from Iraq, here is the riveting account of ordinary people caught between the struggles of nations.

Determined to offer an unfiltered version of events, the Washington Post's Anthony Shadid was neither embedded with soldiers nor briefed by politicians. Because he is fluent in Arabic, Shadidan Arab-American born and raised in Oklahomawas able to actually disappear into the divided, dangerous worlds of Iraq. Day by day, as American dreams clashed with Arab notions of justice, he pieced together the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the terrible dislocations and tragedies of war. Through the lives of Sunnis and Shiites, men and women, American sympathizers, and outraged young men newly transformed into martyrs, Shadid shows us the journey of defiant, hopeful, resilient Iraq. Moving from battle scenes to subdued streets enlivened only by the call to prayer, Shadid uses the experiences of his characters to illustrate how Saddam's downfall paved the way not only for democracy but also for an Islamic reawakening and jihad. NIGHT DRAWS NEARas compelling as it is humanis an illuminating and poignant account from a reporter whose coverage has drawn international attention and acclaim.

Title: Tolstoy: The Death of Ivan Ilyich & Master and Man

Author: Leo Tolstoy

Narrator: Simon Vance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-01-05

Publisher: Christianaudio.com

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

In these two famous short novels, Leo Tolstoy takes readers to the brink of despair. At the end of life worldly ambition offers no consolation for the spiritually empty soul. But Tolstoy is the master of themes of redemption. He turns his morbid topic into hope, leading toward spiritual awakening. Tolstoy offers his readers a lifetime of perspective on a most human subject, death. // Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Illyich is a small book with singular depth of insight. The book was published in 1886, breaking a nine-year literary silence after the publication of Anna Karenina. It is considered to be one of the great explorations of death and dying in all of Western Literature. No author in so few words summons so many emotions into the reader's soul. This masterpiece is here paired with another Tolstoy short novels, Master and Man, which too examines the human response to mortality. Together these two stories will ultimately offer encouragement to the spiritually hungry. // Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is considered by many to be the greatest novelist in Western Literature. Several classic novels belong to his pen including War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In addition he wrote many short novels, including The Death of Ivan Illyich.
