In most companies, procurement is an unglamorous, unloved part of the business. Sourcing and supplier management are strictly about costs, the thinking goes, and all that matters is playing hardball to get these as low as possible. No connection to innovation or strategy or creating positive value. Not so fast. As BCG thought leaders explain in Profit from the Source, procurement should be regarded in a new light because it has the potential to be a CEO's secret weapon in these fast-moving, disruptive times. ![]() English | ASIN: B09ZKFFR65 | 2022 | 13 hours and 58 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 384 MB Weaving together findings from a wide range of disciplines, Power traces how four key elements developed to give humans extraordinary power: Tool making ability, language, social complexity, and the ability to harness energy sources - most significantly, fossil fuels. It asks whether we have, at this point, overpowered natural and social systems, and if we have, what we can do about it. Has Homo sapiens - one species among millions - become powerful enough to threaten a mass extinction and disrupt the Earth's climate? Why have we developed so many ways of oppressing one another? Can we change our relationship with power to avert ecological catastrophe, reduce social inequality, and stave off collapse? These questions - and their answers - will determine our fate. ![]() English | ASIN: B084GD1NHG | 2020 | 2 hours and 13 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 121 MB Persuasion: The Practice of Influence: What Everyone Ought to Know About the Psychology of Persuasion.

Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns calls Opium Nation "an insightful and informative look at the global challenge of Afghan drug trade. Fariba Nawa weaves her personal story of reconnecting with her homeland after 9/11 with a very engaging narrative that chronicles Afghanistan's dangerous descent into opium trafficking . . . and most revealingly, how the drug trade has damaged the lives of ordinary Afghan people." Listeners of Gayle Lemmon Tzemach's The Dressmaker of Khair Khana and Rory Stewart's The Places Between will find Nawa's personal, piercing, journalistic tale to be an indispensable addition to the cultural criticism covering this dire global crisis. ![]() English | 2013 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B00EU6OOT8 | Duration: 8:19 h | 298 MB David M.

But Mary wasn't just any woman. The daughter of two notorious radicals, Mary had become an outcast from English society when she was only sixteen. A lifelong advocate for the rights of women, she refused to be governed by social conventions, running away with a married man, having children out of wedlock, and authoring books, stories, and essays that broke literary conventions. This Very Short Introduction explores the context, background, and important themes contained in Shelley's most famous novel, Frankenstein, as well as demonstrating the importance of her work after Frankenstein. Over the course of her long career, Shelley developed a distinctive voice, and a political and philosophical stance. |
