Story
Some choose to "get off the grid", but many more Americans find themselves pushed off - whether because of financial pressures, a need or a deep desire to disappear for a period of time, or myriad other compelling reasons. John Casper is serious about teaching the listener how storage units can meet the needs of the housing-insecure, the adventurous, and anyone else willing to challenge social norms (and sometimes the law) in search of a place to call home.

Story
This critical account of the fair trade movement explores the vast gap between the rhetoric of fair trade and its practical results for poor countries, particularly those of Africa. In the Global North, fair trade often is described as a revolutionary tool for transforming the lives of millions across the globe. The growth in sales for fair trade products has been dramatic in recent years, but most of the benefit has accrued to the already wealthy merchandisers at the top of the value chain rather than to the poor producers at the bottom.

Zum 80. Geburtstag des Autors endlich wieder erhältlich: "Man muss sich verkleiden, um die Gesellschaft zu demaskieren..." - Günter Wallraff. Niemand hat mehr Missstände aufgedeckt als er. Junge Journalisten nehmen sich an ihm ein Vorbild, wenn sie in Rollen schlüpfen, um die dunklen Seiten der gesellschaftlichen Realität aufzudecken - eine Vorgehensweise, die im Schwedischen "wallraffa" genannt wird. Wieder war Günter Wallraff undercover unterwegs. Als "Michael G." recherchierte er den Alltag in deutschen Callcentern - das Echo auf die in der ZEIT veröffentlichte Reportage war gewaltig.

Story
Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent.
