Title: We Were Yahoo!: From Internet Pioneer to the Trillion Dollar Loss of Google and Facebook

Author: Jeremy Ring

Narrator: Marguerite Gavin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:33:49

Language: English

Release date: 03-13-18

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Science & Technology, General, Computers

Summary:

Twenty-one years after its incorporation and sixteen years after its stock peak, Yahoo sold for 96% less than its value on January 3, 2000, when it had closed at an all-time high of $118.75 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of $120 billion. Wall Street valued Yahoo!, at that time in business less than six years, higher than it did Disney, News Corporation, and Comcast combined.

At the end of 2016, the top seven businesses on the list of the highest-valued companies in the world by market capitalization include Apple at #1, Alphabet (Google's Parent Company) at #2, Amazon.com at #5, and Facebook at #7. Those companies combined are valued in excess of $2 trillion more than the price Verizon paid to acquire Yahoo!

Yahoo!'s story is one of missed strategies, failed opportunities, and poor execution. Early decisions to de-emphasize search features, undervalue Google, and overplay Yahoo's hand in the Facebook negotiations haunted the rest of the company's existence. In addition, factors outside of Yahoo's control—most notably how irrational expectations of Wall Street created an environment where short-term decisions were made at the expense of the long-term good.

Title: Misogynation: The True Scale of Sexism

Author: Laura Bates

Narrator: Laura Bates

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:40:57

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-18

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio UK

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND FOUNDER OF THE EVERYDAY SEXISM PROJECT, LAURA BATES. 

'Following [Everyday Sexism] will make most women feel oddly saner.' Caitlin Moran

'Piercingly astute.' Stylist

Laura Bates, pioneering feminist, activist and bestselling author, has given voice to hundreds of thousands of women through her international Everyday Sexism Project. Drawing attention to both hidden and blatant sexist acts and attitudes, Laura has exposed the startling truth behind misogyny in our society: systemic, ingrained and ignored.

 

From Weinstein to Westminster, a torrent of allegations of sexual harassment and assault have left us reeling. One hundred years since some women were first given the right to vote, we are still struggling to get to grips with the true extent of gender inequality that continues to flourish in our society.

In this collection of essays, originally published in the Guardian, Laura Bates uncovers the sexism that exists in our relationships, our workplaces, our media, in our homes and on our streets, but which is also firmly rooted in our lifelong assumptions and in the actions and attitudes we explain away, defend and accept. Often dismissed as one-offs, veiled as 'banter' or described as 'isolated incidents', MISOGYNATION joins the dots to reveal the true scale of discrimination and prejudice women face.  

A bold, witty and incisive analysis of current events, MISOGYNATION makes a passionate argument for stepping back, opening our eyes and allowing ourselves to see the bigger picture.

IN PRAISE OF LAURA BATES

'Funny and clever.' Telegraph

'Girl Up is an essential compendium of wit, wisdom, advice and straight-talk.' Sarah Knight

'We owe Bates a great debt of gratitude for her Everyday Sexism Project.' LA Times

'Laura was one of the first women to harness the power of social media to fight sexism and misogyny and give millions of young women a voice.' Grazia

'Bates takes a myth-busting approach to body image, food, sex and advertising and is particularly good at boiling down feminist language into a snappy, everyday vernacular' Metro

'For any woman who is sick of being told how to act, how to dress, or how to ward off unwanted advances, [Girl Up] is for you. Independent

'[Girl Up is] another hard-hitting book which exposes the truth surrounding pressures on body image, false representations in the media, and lots of issues very relevant to girls today. Red

WINNER BOYZ BEST LGBT BOOK 2017

SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI BOOK PRIZE 2017

Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. Part memoir, part ground-breaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be and if not, why not?

Meticulously researched, courageous and life-affirming, Straight Jacket offers invaluable practical advice on how to overcome a range of difficult issues. It also recognizes that this is a watershed moment, a piercing wake-up-call-to-arms for the gay and wider community to acknowledge the importance of supporting all young people and helping older people to transform their experience and finally get the lives they really want.

'This is an essential read for every gay person on the planet' - Elton John

'Matthew Todd thought he had long since dealt with the demons surrounding his sexuality. In [his] new book, he reveals the crisis of shame facing the gay community and how to solve it.' The Observer

Release date: 03-08-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Smiling Man by Joseph Knox, ready by Lewys Taylor.

I usually experienced the presence of a dead body as an absence, but in this case, it felt like a black hole opening up in front of me

Disconnected from his history and careless of his future, Detective Aidan Waits has resigned himself to the night shift. An endless cycle of meaningless emergency calls and lonely dead ends. Until he and his partner, Detective Inspector Peter Sutty Sutcliffe, are summoned to The Palace, a vast disused hotel in the centre of a restless, simmering city. There they find the body of a man. He is dead. And he is smiling.

The tags have been removed from the mans clothes. His teeth filed down and replaced. Even his fingertips are not his own. Only a patch sewn into the inside of his trousers gives any indication as to who he was, and to the desperate last act of his life

But even as Waits puts together the pieces of this strangers life, someone is sifting through the shards of his own.

When the mysterious fires, anonymous phone calls and outright threats escalate, he realises that a ghost from his own past haunts his every move.

And to discover the smiling mans identity, he must finally confront his own.

Title: Heart Is a Burial Ground

Author: Tamara Colchester

Narrator: Esther Wane, Jennifer Woodward, katie beudert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:44:25

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-18

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:

'I will describe it as best I can. This is their story. Or perhaps just mine. Let us begin, again . . .'

A vivid and inventive debut novel about four generations of women in a family, their past and their legacy, which evokes the work of Kate Atkinson, Tessa Hadley and Virginia Baily.

On a brisk day in 1970, a daughter arrives at her mother’s home to take care of her as she nears the end of her life. ‘Home’ is the sprawling Italian castle of Roccasinibalda, and Diana’s mother is the legendary Caresse Crosby, one half of literature’s most scandalous couple in 1920s Paris, widow of Harry Crosby, the American heir, poet and publisher who epitomised the ‘Lost Generation’.

 

But it was not only Harry who was lost. Their incendiary love story concealed a darkness that marked mercurial Diana and still burns through the generations: through Diana's troubled daughters Elena and Leonie, and Elena’s young children.

 

Moving between the decades, between France, Italy and the Channel Islands, Tamara Colchester’s debut novel is an unforgettably powerful portrait of a line of extraordinary women, and the inheritance they give their daughters.
