  Barons - Money Power and the...

  Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
   
   
   
  Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
   
   
   
  These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

  How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse? 
  She splits. 
  And splits again. And again. And again. 
  And she does survive. But not without consequences. 
  As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an 
  unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist 
  who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and 
  isolation she has learnt to live with. 
  Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative 
  Identity Disorder or DID). 
  Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive 
  created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the 
  abuse inflicted on her. 
  Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life 
  despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by 
  those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves 
  who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with. 
  In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past, 
  and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood. 
  It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not 
  read another book like it.

  AUSCHWITZ CHILDREN AND MENGELE...

  In the name of humanity, that was the explanation of Dr. Claus Karl Schilling for the execution of malaria experiments on 1,200 inmates of the Dachau concentration camp during the Second World War. The reputable Schilling had come to Dachau with the personal permission of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in 1942 because he could use the prisoners as research subjects without the restriction of obtaining their consent. Schilling was not an exception.  
  Many Nazi doctors seized the unique opportunity to execute human experiments without legal and ethical restrictions during the war. The SS and the Wehrmacht either initiated or supported the research of the Nazi doctors. The central question that puzzled jurists and scientists is how these doctors, who were educated to heal people, could execute human experiments and deliberately harm and even kill people. To some scientists, their acts stand out as ‘exemplars of evil.’ This judgment is based on the fact that prisoners did not give their informed consent, the cruel and sometimes sadistic character of the experiments, and because never before in medical experiments was the death of the research subjects a central element of the research design. Many people think that ‘science went mad’ in the Third Reich and that Nazi doctors who committed these crimes were pseudo-scientists, sadists, and even monsters. However, thinking these perpetrators were madmen or monsters is a false explanation.  
  It is confronting to know that physicians belonging to the most advanced medical community in the world at the time, who had sworn to ‘do no harm, ' could commit these crimes. 
  On this trail, Dr. Josef Mengele’s pseudo-scientific research at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II led to immeasurable suffering among the camp’s children.

  The autors of this book are: Schwarz Gonzalo, Rehbinder Caspian, Liss Erik,,Agerup Martin, Heiberg Carl-Christian, Durana Radovan, Kamall Syed, Vaine Aneta
  All around the world, the most critical public policy conversations revolve around the fields of social mobility and inequality. Despite widespread interest, there are many issues and questions that are either misunderstood or under researched when it comes to these fields. And in addition, for those seeking to make it easier to climb the income ladder, the terms inequality, poverty and mobility continue to be used interchangeably, further complicating many of our policy discussions, as these issues have different definitions and implications.
  This book centers around the most vital of these topics, social mobility, and the concern that there is still no consensus on the main barriers to social mobility. Conducting a broader analysis of the relationship between structural factors and social mobility can offer important clues to understanding why even some developed countries are struggling to increase upward economic mobility.
