Yet, as every shopper knows without thinking about it, many everyday goods—from beds to batteries to printer paper—are available in a finite number of 'standard sizes.' What makes these sizes 'standard' is an agreement among competing firms to make or sell products with the same limited dimensions. But how did firms reach such collective agreements? In exploring this question, Colleen Dunlavy puts the history of mass production and consumption in an entirely new light. She reveals that, despite the widely publicized model offered by Henry Ford, mass production techniques did not naturally diffuse throughout the US economy. On the contrary, formidable market forces blocked their diffusion. It was only under the cover of collectively agreed-upon, industrywide standard sizes—orchestrated by the federal government—that competing firms were able to break free of market forces and transition to mass production and consumption. Without government promotion of standard sizes, the twentieth-century American variety of capitalism would have looked markedly less 'Fordist.' An engrossing new work of economic history, Small, Medium, Large will make scholars, students, and general audiences alike think differently about the history of mass production and consumption.

Title: [German] - Schatten des Todes Author: Astrid Korten Narrator: Benjamin Dazert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 1, 2024 Genres: Suspense Publisher's Summary: Berlin 1929: Eine neue Zeit bricht an. Die Gesellschaft sehnt sich nach Wohlstand und Glamour, manche streben sogar nach Macht. Mit Spannung wird ein neuer Film der UFA erwartet, der im größten Studio der Universal-Filmstudios in Babelsberg gedreht wird. Doch die Dreharbeiten rufen finstere Gestalten auf den Plan, die dunkle Drohungen gegen alle Beteiligten ausstoßen. Als eine Mitarbeiterin im Studio tot aufgefunden wird, beginnt Harry Schneider, der Sicherheitschef der UFA, auf eigene Faust in einschlägigen Geheimclubs und unter zwielichtigen Gestalten nach einer Erklärung für den seltsamen Tod der Bühnenbildnerin zu suchen, der von einem berüchtigten Illusionisten prophezeit wurde. Harry lernt dabei die schöne, geheimnisvolle Lara kennen und gerät nicht nur in ihren Bann, sondern auch in einen Sumpf aus Intrigen, Lügen und eiskalter Grausamkeit. Perfekt rekonstruierte Schauplätze, großer filmischer Respekt und erzählerische Spannung: Schatten des Todes ist ein exzellenter historischer Spannungsroman, in dem sich überraschende Handlungen vor einem historischen Hintergrund abspielen und reale Personen und Fiktion zu einem rätselhaften und faszinierenden Schattentheater verschmelzen.

Title: Know Thy Gamer: A Parent’s Guide to Video Games Author: Drew Dixon Narrator: Derek Dysart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 1, 2024 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Between social media platforms, the videos kids watch online, or the television shows they can now stream from anywhere at any time, keeping up with what our kids are doing has become more difficult than ever. Still, there has not been an influence quite like the video gaming world. For a time, video games were as simple as a blue hedgehog running from one side of the screen to the other. Now, video games create grand adventures of secret societies, alien races that have come to destroy entire galaxies, or dark forces that have arrived to destroy ancient kingdoms. Video games can display wondrous environments but can also house blood and gore. They can create adventures that get kids through rainy days but can also trap them in their rooms for untold amounts of time. This leaves many parents with one of two choices. They can either ignore the problems, or they can simply not allow their children to play games at all. Drew Dixon, co-founder of Love Thy Nerd, a ministry that exists to be the love of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture, offers a better way. Let’s face it: the digital age has changed the way we parent. So, instead of ignoring what your children are playing or removing the games altogether, Know Thy Gamer offers an opportunity for parents to understand their children and the kinds of games they are playing. By discussing some of the most important movements in the gaming world, Drew guides parents to understanding and loving their gamers through a Christian lens.
