More than ten years later, those dreams lie in tatters. What happened to the oil wealth? Based on exclusive troves of documents and sources in the Iraqi and U.S. governments, investigative reporter Erin Banco tells the story of how rampant corruption and gross mismanagement have sucked billions upon billions of dollars from Kurdistan's and Iraq's oil coffers - and how local people are suffering as a result.

Dabei entdeckten sie Gott jenseits von Gott. Sie erfuhren einen neuen Gott. Was verstehen wir unter Mystik? Welches Gottesbild lässt sich in der Mystik finden? Welche Vorgeschichte hat die Mystik, deren Wurzeln wir in der Antike finden? Der Philosoph Christoph Quarch geht diesen Fragen nach. Sie hören den vierten Vortrag seiner Reihe "'Gott ist tot', und was machen wir jetzt?". Das Wort "Gott" ist den einen heilig, den anderen ein Ärgernis und wieder anderen total gleichgültig. Das hat damit zu tun, dass wir nicht mehr wissen, was in ihm zur Sprache kommt. Das sollte man aber - egal ob man "religiös" ist oder nicht; denn das Wort "Gott" weist auf etwas, das uns alle angeht: das Geheimnis des Lebens.

Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: Exasalian Press Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Summary: There is no other element found in nature that has given so much, been so venerated and yet, at the same time, so distrusted as that of the cannabis plant. And like its species cousin, hemp, cannabis is a plant that has been at the center of civilization for thousands of years and only since the past century given way to crime, corruption, corporate greed, and unjust state law. Yet, from this plant there are those of us that have seen the light and how we, as a civilization, can break free from the confines of a subjugated existence and truly awaken into a new dawn. Cannabis isn't about getting high, nor is this natural gift a gateway for abuse, but abuse of power; cannabis has had an effect on the human condition, and it's long since been denied from us, the inborn traits we have once lost.

Der Denker Europas Autor: Christoph Quarch Erzähler: Christoph Quarch Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 4 hrs and 39 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-15-18 Herausgeber: Christoph Quarch Kategorien: Nonfiction, Philosophy Zusammenfassung: "Platon. Der Denker Europas: Eine Einführung in seine Philosophie und Ethik" von Dr. Christoph Quarch "Die europäische Philosophie", sagte der Philosoph A.N. Whitehead, "ist nichts anderes als eine Fußnotensammlung zu Platon". Das trifft zu - auch dann, wenn Platon der am meisten missverstandene Denker Europas ist. Doch gerade deshalb ist er aktuell und inspirierend wie kein zweiter. Denn in Platons Werk schlummert noch manches geistige Potenzial, das zu entfalten der abendländischen Kultur gut tun wird. Der Philosoph Christoph Quarch erklärt Platon wie kein anderer. Er hat einen frischen und erhellenden Blick auf das Werk Platons. Lassen Sie sich inspirieren und kommen Sie mit ins Reich der Gedanken. Quarch zuzuhören, heißt Philosophie als spirituelle Erfahrung erleben. Erster Vortrag (Track 1 bis 3): "Sonne der Gerechtigkeit. Warum nur das Gute wahr ist." Wer den Sinn von etwas verstehen will, muss wissen, was sein Gutsein ausmacht. In seinem Höhlengleichnis beschreibt Platon den Weg zum wahrem Wissen und zur Weisheit. Zweiter Vortrag (Track 4 bis 6): "Der göttliche Wahnsinn. Warum Eros uns glücklich macht." Wer glücklich werden will, muss sich ins Leben verlieben. Die Kraft des Eros, so lehrte Platon, öffnet unseren Blick für die Schönheit und Sinnhaftigkeit der Welt - und erfüllt unsere Seele mit Lebendigkeit. Dritter Vortrag (Track 7 bis 9): "Das schönste Lebewesen. Wie das Leben lebendig wird." Wer gut leben möchte, muss verstehen, was Lebendigkeit eigentlich ist: er muss das Wesen der Psyche begreifen. Platon verweist dafür auf den Kosmos, den er "das schönste Lebewesen" nannte. Vierter Vortrag (Track 10 bis 12): "Gott ist das Maß aller Dinge. Wie wir unser Gemeinwesen einrichten sollten." Wer wissen möchte, wie Gemeinschaft gelingt, muss das Maß des Lebens und der Natur kennen. Denn nur wenn wir naturgemäß leben, werden wir gut miteinander auskommen, zeigt Platon in seinem letzten Werk "Gesetze".

Written not from a post-crisis perspective - but from a preventative point of view - this book traces the development of financial derivatives from bonds to credit default swaps, and shows how mathematical formulas went beyond pricing to expand their use to the point where they dwarfed the real economy. You'll learn how the deadly allure of their ice-cold beauty has misled generations of economists and investors, and how continued reliance on these formulas can either assist future economic development, or send the global economy into the financial equivalent of a cardiac arrest. Rather than rehash tales of post-crisis fallout, this book focuses on preventing the next one. By exploring the heart of the shadow economy, you'll be better prepared to ride the rough waves of finance into the turbulent future. How do you create a quadrillion dollars out of nothing, blow it away, and leave a hole so large that even years of "quantitative easing" can't fill it - and then go back to doing the same thing? Even amidst global recovery, the financial system still has the potential to seize up at any moment. The Money Formula explores the how and why of financial disaster, what must happen to prevent the next one. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Bullock Narrator: Sandra Brautigam Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-18 Publisher: Lamp of Trismegistus Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy Summary: Beginning in ancient Egypt and working forward, writer P. W. Bullock takes an in-depth look at the various philosophies that collectively make up what we now call hermetic thought. Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus, the Egyptian Thoth, who was identified as early as the time of Plato with the Grecian Hermes, is not generally regarded as the real author of the Hermetic works popularly ascribed to him, and although these latter are considered to embody real Egyptian doctrine they are accorded, on the strength of internal evidence, a Grecian origin.

Through 10 case studies and dozens of interviews, Ellyn Kaschak taps directly into the phenomenology of race, gender, and sexual orientation among individuals born blind, along with the everyday epistemology of vision. Kaschak's work reveals not only how the blind create systems of meaning out of cultural norms but also how cultural norms inform our conscious and unconscious interactions with others regardless of our physical ability to see. She exposes gender, race, and sexual orientation as unconscious and pre-verbal in the sighted, an aspect of implicit bias. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

In A Perfumed Scorpion, Idries Shah directs attention to both the perfume and the scorpion - the overlay and the reality - in psychology, human behavior and the learning process. Crammed with illustrative anecdotes from contemporary life, the book is nevertheless rooted in the teaching patterns of Rumi, Hafiz, Jami, and many other great Oriental sages. It deals with the need for and the path to knowledge and information. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Wittgensteins Werk ist fragmentarisch geblieben, es wirkt unübersichtlich, aber in sich doch wohl durchdacht. Es ist voller Sprünge und Brüche, aber nicht ohne einen fein gewebten Zusammenhang. Auch die großen Säulen dieses Werkes - datiert nach Entstehungszeit als Früh- und Spätwerk - werden von einem großen Grundthema zusammengehalten: der Sehnsucht nach Klarheit der Sprache, Reinheit der Argumente, Ungetrübtheit der Verständigung. Das ist die Melodie im Denken Wittgensteins. Gegenstand dieses Denkens ist die Sprache, die mit ihren "Verhexungen" für die Klarheit des Denkens Hindernis und Angriffsfläche zugleich ist. Das vorliegende Hörbuch will in die Biographie, die Themen, aber vor allem in den denkerischen Stil Wittgensteins einführen und dazu ermuntern, diesem Denkstil auch dort nachzugehen, wo Wittgenstein selbst keine Pfade mehr ausgesteckt hat. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Summary: This book is geared to the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues. Many of today's economic issues are obscured by their inherent complexity and the often confusing and conflicting views coming from political talking heads. Sowell, a leading conservative economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, seeks to alleviate this confusion. He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long-term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real-world problems - housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations.
