Joe, Barbie, and the Companies That Make Them and Men and Speed: A Wild Ride Through NASCAR's Breakout Season, takes listeners back to the wild and wooly years of the early automobile era - from 1893, when the first US-built auto was introduced, through 1908, when General Motors was founded and Ford's Model T went on the market.

When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant.

Man findet die kleinen Fische nicht nur in Seegras­wiesen und Mangrovenwäldern, sondern ebenso im Schachspiel und in griechischen Sagen - und wie kommen sie eigentlich auf Kinderbadeanzüge, Geldmünzen und Toilettenschüsseln aus dem alten Rom? Was macht sie trotz ihrer Trägheit zu erstklassigen Jägern, warum ist ein Hirnareal nach ihnen benannt, wie können sie uns helfen, besser zu schlafen, und sogar die Robotik inspirieren? Unterhaltsam und informativ erzählt Till Hein von kuriosen Erkenntnissen der aktuellen Forschung, geht Mythen auf den Grund und lüftet so Geheimnisse über die verrückten Pferde der See.
