Title: Shakespeare in Swahililand: Adventures with the Ever-Living Poet
Categories: Africa, Author, Biography, East Africa
Author: Edward Wilson-Lee
Narrator: Gordon Griffin
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Release date: 04-21-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Published to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in April 2016, a breathtaking exploration into Shakespeare as a global poet. Whilst travelling in Luxor, Edward Wilson-Lee encountered a man who called out to him from the summer shade with lines from Shakespeare's Macbeth: 'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...' Unable to resist the temptation, Wilson-Lee responded with the next line, and so began a fascination with unexpected cultural encounters, especially those made memorable by the poignancy of discovering beauty out of place. Shakespeare may have heard of Luxor (although he would have known it as Thebes), but it is unlikely that he imagined his lines ever being spoken there, close by the feluccas sailing on the Nile and the acres of pharaonic ruins beyond. This radical, breathtaking book combines travel, history, biography and satire in an ode to Shakespeare. Wilson-Lee teaches Shakespeare at Cambridge but grew up in East Africa, and Shakespeare in Swahililand explores Shakespeare's global legacy like no other book before it.

Title: The Attention Revolution
Subtitle: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind
Categories: Alternative Medicin, Anger Management, Buddhism, Eastern Philosophy
Author: B. Alan Wallace
Narrator: Tom Pile
Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-20-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Meditation offers, in addition to its many other benefits, a method for achieving previously inconceivable levels of concentration. Author B. Alan Wallace has nearly 30 years' practice in attention-enhancing meditation, including a retreat he performed under the guidance of the Dalai Lama. An active participant in the much-publicized dialogues between Buddhists and scientists, Alan is uniquely qualified to speak intelligently to both camps, and The Attention Revolution is the definitive presentation of his knowledge. Beginning by pointing out the ill effects that follow from our inability to focus, Wallace moves on to explore a systematic path of meditation to deepen our capacity for deep concentration. The result is an exciting, rewarding "expedition of the mind", tracing everything from the confusion at the bottom of the trail to the extraordinary clarity and power that come with making it to the top. Along the way, the author also provides interludes and complementary practices for cultivating love, compassion, and clarity in our waking and dreaming lives. Attention is the key that makes personal change possible, and the good news is that it can be trained. This book shows how.

Summary:
Ten years after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Southeast Louisiana, journalist Gary Rivlin traces the storm's immediate damage, the city of New Orleans' efforts to rebuild itself, and the storm's lasting effects not just on the city's geography and infrastructure but on the psychic, racial, and social fabric of one of this nation's great cities. Much of New Orleans still sat underwater the first time Gary Rivlin glimpsed the city after Hurricane Katrina. Then a staff reporter for The New York Times, he was heading into the city to survey the damage. The interstate was eerily empty. Soldiers in uniform and armed with assault rifles stopped him. Water reached the eaves of houses for as far as the eye could see. Four out of every five houses - 80 percent of the city's housing stock - had been flooded. Around that same proportion of schools and businesses were wrecked.

A picaresque tale of minor league baseball - in an alternate Great Depression America full of wild magic. Since the Big Bubble popped in 1929, life in the United States hasn't been the same. Hotshot wizards will tell you nothing's really changed, but then again, hotshot wizards aren't looking for honest work in Enid, Oklahoma. No paying jobs at the mill, because zombies will work for nothing. The diner on Main Street is seeing hard times as well, because a lot fewer folks can afford to fly carpets in from miles away. Jack Spivey's just another down-and-out trying to stay alive, doing a little of this and a little of that. Sometimes that means making a few bucks playing ball with the Enid Eagles, against teams from as many as two counties away. And sometimes it means roughing up rival thugs for Big Stu, the guy who calls the shots in Enid. But one day Jack knocks on the door of the person he's supposed to "deal with" - and realizes that he's not going to do any such thing to the young lady who answers.

Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-19-2016

Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart, therefore, represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom. Western teachers such as Ram Dass and Jack Kornfield have extolled Chah's teachings for years, and now listeners can experience them directly in this book.

Language: English

Summary:
Find Your Super Users, Master the Forever Transaction, and Build Recurring Revenue If you've ever used ZipCar, Amazon Prime, Spotify, NetFlix, Groupon, Weight Watchers, SurveyMonkey, United Mileage Plus, Pinterest, or Twitter, you are part of The Membership Economy, an increasingly popular model that author Robbie Kellman Baxter sees as the inevitable result of technological advancements, social trends, and a generation in transition. The Membership Economy argues that we are now moving away from ownership, but we still want the benefits that come with access. "As individuals grow frustrated with the burdens of owning, caring for, and storing too much stuff, they are looking for ways to minimize that stress. They are also experiencing a need for meaningful connection and community." The membership-based business is a problem solver for both businesses and individuals. It spares people from the duties of ownership and provides a feeling of commonality and affiliation. For businesses it offers the opportunity to create a "forever customer" who remains loyal and participatory, even as the company shifts and changes. Membership allows for building direct relationships and continuously generates a data stream that can be tapped for a variety of purposes. Ultimately it provides the cachet of belonging.

Summary:
More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, according to an Institute of Medicine report released in 2011. For many, chronic pain is part of an autoimmune disease, but all too often doctors turn to the same solution: painkilling drugs. But all of this medication simply isn't helping. As Dr. Peter Osborne, the leading authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies, has found, the real solution often lies in what you eat. In No Grain, No Pain, Dr. Osborne shows how grains wreak havoc on the body by causing tissue inflammation, creating vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies, and triggering an autoimmune response that causes the body to attack itself. But he also offers practical steps to find relief. Using his drug-free, easy-to-implement plan, you will be able to eliminate all sources of gluten and gluten-like substances, experience significant improvement in 15 days, and eliminate pain within 30 days.

Categories: 21st Century, Africa, History, Islam
Author: Joshua Hammer
Narrator: Paul Boehmer
Publisher: HighBridge, a Division of Recorded Books
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
In the 1980s, a young adventurer and collector for a government library, Abdel Kader Haidara, journeyed across the Sahara Desert and along the Niger River, tracking down and salvaging tens of thousands of ancient Islamic and secular manuscripts that had fallen into obscurity. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu tells the incredible story of how Haidara, a mild-mannered archivist and historian from the legendary city of Timbuktu, later became one of the world's greatest and most brazen smugglers. In 2012, thousands of Al Qaeda militants from northwest Africa seized control of most of Mali, including Timbuktu. They imposed Sharia law, chopped off the hands of accused thieves, stoned to death unmarried couples, and threatened to destroy the great manuscripts. As the militants tightened their control over Timbuktu, Haidara organized a dangerous operation to sneak all 350,000 volumes out of the city to the safety of southern Mali. Over the past 20 years, journalist Joshua Hammer visited Timbuktu numerous times and is uniquely qualified to tell the story of Haidara's heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve Mali's - and the world's - literary patrimony.

Title: Death on Earth
Subtitle: Adventures in Evolution and Mortality
Categories: Biology, Death, Evolution, STEM
Author: Jules Howard
Narrator: Jon Caruth
Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
As you read these words, planet Earth teems with trillions of life-forms, all going about their own business: eating, reproducing, thriving.... Yet the life of almost every single organism draws nearer to certain death. On the other hand, "suicide" inside the mitochondria that live within us results in the death of millions of cells each second for our own good! Why is death such a universal companion to life on Earth? Why haven't animals evolved to break free of its shackles? In this wide-ranging exploration of death, Jules Howard attempts to shed evolutionary light on one of our biggest and most unshakable taboos. He visits a salon that's trying to abolish our queasiness over talking about death. He also looks to the nematode, one of the most basic of life-forms, for clues about why near starvation actually can prolong life.

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
The number-one New York Times best-selling author of William and Kate and The Day Diana Died takes a compulsively listenable look into the relationships and rivalries of Queen Elizabeth, Camilla Parker Bowles, and Kate Middleton. One has been famous longer than anyone on the planet - a wily stateswoman and an enduring symbol of a fading institution. One is the great-granddaughter of a king's mistress and a celebrated homewrecker who survived a firestorm of scorn to marry her lover and replace her archrival, a beloved 20th-century figure. One is a beautiful commoner, the university-educated daughter of a self-made entrepreneur, a fashion idol, and wife and mother to two future kings. Master biographer Christopher Andersen takes listeners behind palace walls to examine the surprising similarities and stark differences among three remarkable women - Queen Elizabeth; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and Princess Kate. Andersen reveals what transpires within the royal family away from the public's prying eyes; how the women actually feel about each other; how they differ as lovers, wives, and mothers; and how they are reshaping the landscape of the monarchy in this addictive listen that will shock even those who are spellbound by the royal palace.

Title: The End of the Cold War 1985-1991
Categories: 20th Century, America, Eastern Europe, Europe
Author: Robert Service
Narrator: Ralph Lister
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
The Cold War had seemed like a permanent fixture in global politics, and until its denouement no Western or Soviet politician had foreseen that an epoch defined by games of irreconcilable one-upmanship between the world's most heavily armed superpowers would end in their lifetimes. Under the long, forbidding shadow of the Cold War, even the smallest miscalculation from either side could result in catastrophe. Everything changed in March 1985, when Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union. Just four years later, the Cold War and the arms competition was over. The USSR and the US had peacefully and abruptly achieved an astonishing political settlement. But it was not preordained that a global crisis of unprecedented scale could and would be averted peaceably. Drawing on new archival research, Robert Service's gripping new investigation of the final years of the Cold War - the first to give equal attention to the internal deliberations from both sides of the Iron Curtain - opens a window onto the dramatic years that would irrevocably alter the world's geopolitical landscape and the men at their fore.

Title: Outlaw Christian
Subtitle: Finding Authentic Faith by Breaking the "Rules"
Categories: Christian Living, Christianity, Death, Protestantism
Author: Jacqueline A. Bussie
Narrator: Jaimee Paul
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Jacqueline Bussie knows that too many Christians live according to unspoken "laws" that govern the Christian life: 1: Never get angry at God 2: Never doubt 3: Never question 4: Never tell your real story 5: Always speak in clichés about evil and suffering 6: Always believe hope comes easily for those who truly love God. Living according to these rules is killing real Christian life. Outlaw Christian proposes a rebellious, life-giving, authentic alternative. Through captivating stories and with disarming honesty, Bussie gives concrete, practical strategies to help listeners cultivate hope, seek joy, practice accompaniment, compost their pain, and rediscover the spiritual practice of lament. Tackling difficult questions without political divisiveness, Bussie speaks to both progressive and conservative Christians in ways that unite rather than divide. And in doing so, she provides a new way to handle the most difficult and troubling questions of life in a broken world that God will never abandon.

Told with sincerity, humor, and wit, Trespassing Across America is both a fascinating account of one man's remarkable journey along the Keystone XL pipeline and a meditation on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and the extremes to which we can push ourselves - both physically and mentally. It started as a far-fetched idea - to hike the entire length of the proposed route of the Keystone XL pipeline. But in the months that followed, it grew into something more for Ken Ilgunas. It became an irresistible adventure - an opportunity not only to draw attention to global warming but to explore his personal limits. So in September 2012, he strapped on his backpack, stuck out his thumb on the interstate just north of Denver, Colorado, and hitchhiked 1,500 miles to the Alberta tar sands.

Author: Richard Zacks
Narrator: George Guidall
Publisher: Random House Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
From Richard Zacks, bestselling author of Island of Vice and The Pirate Hunter, a rich and lively account of how Mark Twain’s late-life adventures abroad helped him recover from financial disaster and family tragedy—and revived his world-class sense of humor Mark Twain, the highest-paid writer in America in 1894, was also one of the nation’s worst investors. “There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate,” he wrote. “When he can’t afford it and when he can.” The publishing company Twain owned was failing; his investment in a typesetting device was bleeding red ink. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars back when a beer cost a nickel, he found himself neck-deep in debt. His heiress wife, Livy, took the setback hard. “I have a perfect horror and heart-sickness over it,” she wrote. “I cannot get away from the feeling that business failure means disgrace.” But Twain vowed to Livy he would pay back every penny. And so, just when the fifty-nine-year-old, bushy-browed icon imagined that he would be settling into literary lionhood, telling jokes at gilded dinners, he forced himself to mount the “platform” again, embarking on a round-the-world stand-up comedy tour.

Author: Olen Steinhauer
Narrator: Jacob York
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
From the best-selling author of The Tourist comes a tale where a young man struggles to find his identity. Olen Steinhauer's crafty story - "The Start-Up" - begins as an affectionate recounting by Tom, a down-on-his-luck graduate caring for his sick mother and reconnecting with his awkward friend, Jerry McLaughlin. Jerry lives in a relative's basement in Chicago, and over the intervening months the two young men strategize Jerry's seemingly innocuous plan to become a supervillain in the spirit of Bond greats like Blofeld. Things turn dark, however, when Jerry's plans find success, and he enlists the wayward Tom to help him expand his little start-up to the next level. At turns witty and diabolical, "The Start-Up" is a fiendish take on both the spy genre and the dangerous friendships of Highsmith, le Carre, and others. "Start-Up" by Olen Steinhauer is one of 20 short stories within Mulholland Books' Strand Originals series, featuring thrilling stories by the most legendary authors in the Strand Magazine archives.

In the final race of her track career, Cara Bradley beat her personal best by a remarkable six seconds. Until then Bradley had been a so-so athlete hampered by pre-race jitters and self-doubt. She set about understanding how she could replicate this experience in every area of life. She has distilled what she found into moving out of over-thinking and over-doing and into fully being alive. These techniques for stilling busy mind, putting body and mind in sync, and cultivating awareness and strength are simple but require practice and attention. The reward is what she calls high-voltage living, the ability to experience what Bradley did on the track not by accident, or in only a few memorable moments, but on purpose, every day.

Author: Wayne Pacelle
Narrator: Eric Jason Martin
Publisher: HarperAudio
Release date: 04-19-2016

Summary:
A major new exploration of the economics of animal exploitation and a practical road map for how we can use the marketplace to promote the welfare of all living creatures from the renowned animal-rights advocate Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States and New York Times best-selling author of The Bond. In the mid-19th century, New Bedford, Massachusetts, was the whaling capital of the world. A half gallon of sperm oil cost approximately $1,400 in today's dollars, and whale populations were hunted to near extinction for profit. But with the advent of fossil fuels, the whaling industry collapsed, and today the area around New Bedford is instead known as one of the best places in the world for whale watching. This transformation is emblematic of a new sort of economic revolution, one that has the power to transform the future of animal welfare.

Title: The Gunning of America
Subtitle: Business and the Making of American Gun Culture
Categories: America, History, Military, Outdoor
Author: Pamela Haag
Narrator: Bernadette Dunne
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Americans have always loved guns. This special bond was forged during the American Revolution and sanctified by the Second Amendment. It is because of this exceptional relationship that American civilians are more heavily armed than the citizens of any other nation. Or so we're told. In The Gunning of America, historian Pamela Haag overturns this conventional wisdom. American gun culture, she argues, developed not because the gun was exceptional but precisely because it was not: guns proliferated in America because throughout most of the nation's history they were perceived as an unexceptional commodity, no different from buttons or typewriters. Focusing on the history of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, one of the most iconic arms manufacturers in America, Haag challenges many basic assumptions of how and when America became a gun culture. Under the leadership of Oliver Winchester and his heirs, the company used aggressive, sometimes ingenious sales and marketing techniques to create new markets for their product. Guns have never "sold themselves"; rather, through advertising and innovative distribution campaigns, the gun industry did. Through the meticulous examination of gun-industry archives, Haag challenges the myth of a primal bond between Americans and their firearms.

Publisher: HarperAudio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
This female Mad Men-like story chronicles the legendary Cosmopolitan magazine editor's rise to power as both a cultural icon and a trailblazer who redefined what it means to be an American woman. In the mid-'60s, Helen Gurley Brown, author of the groundbreaking Sex and the Single Girl, took over the ailing Cosmopolitan magazine and revamped it into one of the most successful brands in the world. At a time when magazines taught housewives how to make the perfect casserole, Helen reimagined Cosmo and womanhood itself, championing the independent, ambitious, man-loving single woman. Though she was married to Hollywood producer David Brown, no one embodied the idea of the Cosmo Girl more than the Ozarks-born Helen, who willed, worked, and - yes - occasionally slept her way to the top, eventually becoming one of the most influential media players in the world. Drawing on new interviews with Helen's friends and former colleagues as well as her personal letters, Enter Helen brings New York City vibrantly to life during the sexual revolution and the women's movement and features a cast of characters including Hugh Hefner, Nora Ephron, and Gloria Steinem.

Title: Nurse Commitment
Subtitle: How to Retain Professional Staff Nurses in a Multigenerational Workforce
Categories: Entrepreneurship, Health, Health Care, Management
Author: Dr. April L. Jones
Narrator: Aaron Sinn
Publisher: Visionary Consulting Services, LLC
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Modern multigenerational nursing cohorts come with their own unique challenges, but they can also be leveraged to retain staff and increase organizational effectiveness. The key, according to organizational psychology practitioner Dr. April L. Jones, PhD, is to identify and work with each generation's unique values and work ethic. Nurse Commitment is the result of an extensive, six-year organizational psychology study, published in the January 2015 issue of the Journal of Nurse Management and as a doctoral dissertation in the December 2014 issue of ProQuest. After examining the effective commitment of registered nurses in the baby boomer generation, Jones realized their commitment could be utilized to retain nurses from different generational cohorts, creating cross-generational ties and a robust, organizational employee-development program. Retaining nurses is a major issue for health care organizations, resulting in unnecessary costs, poor work performance, and a loss of patient safety. Jones's comprehensive and holistic approach focuses on the importance of a team approach to multigenerational and multicultural nursing cohorts. While tailored specifically to nursing, Jones's methodology, research, and content applies to staffing matrixes across the health care environment and in other industries. Discover the unique strength a cohesive multigenerational cohort brings to your organization's strategic retention plan and philosophy.

Categories: Europe, Fiction, History, Military
Author: Wolfgang Faust
Narrator: George Backman
Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
While the Battle of Berlin in 1945 is widely known, the horrific story of the Halbe Kessel remains largely untold. In April 1945, victorious Soviet forces encircled 80,000 men of the German 9th Army in the Halbe area, South of Berlin, together with many thousands of German women and children. The German troops, desperate to avoid Soviet capture, battled furiously to break out toward the West, where they could surrender to the comparative safety of the Americans. For the German civilians trapped in the Kessel, the quest to escape took on frantic dimensions, as the terror of Red Army brutality spread. The small town of Halbe became the eye of the hurricane for the breakout, as King Tigers of the SS Panzer Corps led the spearhead to the West, supported by Panthers of the battle-hardened 21st Panzer Division. Panzer by panzer, unit by unit, the breakout forces were cut down - until only a handful of Panthers, other armour, battered infantry units and columns of shattered refugees made a final escape through the rings of fire to the American lines.

Title: Finding Freedom in Illness
Subtitle: A Guide to Cultivating Deep Well-Being Through Mindfulness and Self-Compassion
Categories: Buddhism, Disease, Health, Meditation
Author: Peter Fernando
Narrator: Roger Clark
Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Buddhist wisdom for finding freedom and insight through spiritual practice in the midst of illness and pain. "Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!" Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best). To Peter Fernando's credit, he makes that statement, and no such impulse arises. We believe him because he's been there himself and because he backs up the statements with his own real experiences and with real wisdom from Buddhist teachings. Peter starts by defusing the pernicious belief that anyone is somehow responsible for their illness: You're not "wrong" for being sick. Then, having gotten past self-blame, one can begin to learn self-kindness. From there one moves to mindfulness practices and cultivating body awareness - even if body awareness is distasteful when the body isn't behaving the way you like. Further topics include getting intimate with dark emotions (fear, despair, the scary future, frustration, grief, etc.), learning equanimity (rejoicing in the good fortune of those who don't share your suffering), cultivating healthy relationships in the midst of everything, and practical advice for living with pain.

Title: Callings
Subtitle: The Purpose and Passion of Work (A StoryCorps Book)
Categories: Biography, History, Sociology
Author: David Isay
Narrator: David Isay
Publisher: HighBridge, a Division of Recorded Books
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
In Callings, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing what they love. Some are paid well for their work, others not at all; some found their paths at very young ages, others later in life; many overcame great odds or upturned their lives in order to pursue what matters to them. Many of these stories have never been published or broadcast by StoryCorps until now. We meet a man from the barrios of Texas whose harrowing experiences in a family of migrant farmers inspired him to become a public defender. We meet a longtime waitress who takes pride in making regulars and newcomers alike feel at home in her Nashville diner. We meet a young man on the South Side of Chicago who became a teacher in order to help at-risk teenagers like the ones who killed his father get on the right track. We meet a woman from Little Rock who helps former inmates gain the skills and confidence they need to rejoin the workforce. Together they demonstrate how work can be about much more than just making a living, that chasing dreams and finding inspiration in unexpected places can transform a vocation into a calling.

Title: The Kennedy Wives
Subtitle: Triumph and Tragedy in America’s Most Public Family
Categories: 20th Century, America, Biography, Female Protagonist
Author: Amber Hunt
Narrator: Hillary Huber
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
The Kennedy wives saw history up close - and made history in some cases. They knew wealth and privilege, but we are bonded to them by losses that are our losses, too. The Kennedy women - fierce, intelligent, and very private - belong to us. Not because of their glamour but because of their grief and misfortunes. The Kennedy Wives takes an unflinching look at the women who married into the Kennedy family and their distinct roles: Rose, the matriarch; Ethel, the athlete; Jackie, the icon; Joan, the fragile beauty; and Vicki, the redeemer. In reality each woman was complex and multifaceted. As Kennedy wives they were bonded through characteristics and experiences unique to the Camelot family. The Kennedy Wives is an exploration of these women that will offer what no other book or film created thus far has: a thoughtful analysis of what drew the Kennedy men to these iconic women - and what the women endured in exchange for their acceptance into the Camelot clan.

Title: Unequal Gains
Subtitle: American Growth and Inequality Since 1700
Categories: America, Ecology, Economic, Economic History
Author: Jeffrey G. Williamson
Narrator: Brian O'Neill
Publisher: Recorded Books
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today. While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income - and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience. America has been exceptional in its rising inequality after an egalitarian start, but not in its long-run growth. America had already achieved world income leadership by 1700, not just in the 20th century as is commonly thought. Long before independence, American colonists enjoyed higher living standards than Britain - and America's income advantage today is no greater than it was 300 years ago. But that advantage was lost during the Revolution, lost again during the Civil War, and lost a third time during the Great Depression, though it was regained after each crisis.

Title: Funny Bones: Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras
Categories: Art, Biography, Cultural Heritage, Festivity
Author: Duncan Tonatiuh
Narrator: Armando Duran
Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras - skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities - came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852-1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico's Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe's, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity.

Categories: Aerospace, America, Aviation, Engineering
Author: Rowland White
Narrator: Eric Meyers
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
The real-life techno-thriller from a best-selling author and aviation expert that recaptures the historic moments leading up to the launch of the space shuttle Columbia and the exciting story of her daring maiden flight. Using interviews, NASA oral histories, and recently declassified material, Into the Black pieces together the dramatic untold story of the Columbia mission and the brave people who dedicated themselves to help the United States succeed in the age of space exploration. On April 12, 1981, NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia blasted off from Cape Canaveral. It was the most advanced, state-of-the-art flying machine ever built, challenging the minds and imagination of America's top engineers and pilots. Columbia was the world's first real spaceship: a winged rocket plane, the size of an airliner and capable of flying to space and back before preparing to fly again. Onboard were moonwalker John Young and test pilot Bob Crippen. Less than an hour after Young and Crippen's spectacular departure from the Cape, all was not well. Tiles designed to protect the ship from the blowtorch burn of reentry were missing from the heat shield. If the damage to Columbia was too great, the astronauts wouldn't be able to return safely to Earth.

Title: The Iliad
Subtitle: A New Translation by Caroline Alexander
Series: #1 in Iliad & Odyssey
Categories: Asia, Classic, Epic, Fiction
Author: Homerus
Narrator: Dominic Keating
Publisher: HarperAudio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
With her virtuoso translation, classicist and best-selling author Caroline Alexander brings to life Homer's timeless epic of the Trojan War. Composed around 730 BC, Homer's Iliad recounts the events of a few momentous weeks in the protracted 10-year war between the invading Achaeans, or Greeks, and the Trojans in their besieged city of Ilion. From the explosive confrontation between Achilles, the greatest warrior at Troy, and Agamemnon, the inept leader of the Greeks, through to its tragic conclusion, The Iliad explores the abiding, blighting facts of war. Soldier and civilian, victor and vanquished, hero and coward, men, women, young, old - The Iliad evokes in poignant, searing detail the fate of every life ravaged by the Trojan War. And, as told by Homer, this ancient tale of a particular Bronze Age conflict becomes a sublime and sweeping evocation of the destruction of war throughout the ages. Carved close to the original Greek, acclaimed classicist Caroline Alexander's new translation is swift and lean, with the driving cadence of its source - a translation epic in scale yet devastating in its precision and power.

Title: The Dead Ladies Project
Subtitle: Exiles, Expats, and Ex-Countries
Categories: Adventure, Author, Biography, Europe
Author: Jessa Crispin
Narrator: Amy McFadden
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Release date: 04-19-2016
Language: English

Summary:
When Jessa Crispin was 30, she burned her settled Chicago life to the ground and took off for Berlin with a pair of suitcases and no plan beyond leaving. Half a decade later, she's still on the road, in search not so much of a home as of understanding, a way of being in the world that demands neither constant struggle nor complete surrender. The Dead Ladies Project is an account of that journey - but it's also much, much more. Fascinated by exile, Crispin travels an itinerary of key locations in a literary map of places that have drawn writers who needed to break free from their origins and start afresh. As she reflects on William James struggling through despair in Berlin, Nora Barnacle dependent on and dependable for James Joyce in Trieste, Maud Gonne fomenting revolution and fostering myth in Dublin, or Igor Stravinsky starting over from nothing in Switzerland, Crispin interweaves biography, incisive literary analysis, and personal experience into a rich meditation on the complicated interactions of place, personality, and society that can make escape and reinvention such an attractive, even intoxicating proposition.

Title: Riders of the Purple Sage
Series: #1 in Riders of the Purple Sage
Categories: Action, Adventure, America, Classic
Author: Zane Grey
Narrator: Ann Richardson
Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc.
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
One of the most popular Western novel of all time, Zane Grey's Riders of the Purple Sage played an important part in shaping the genre. It features all the crucial elements: adventure and rugged individualism; sex and violence; conflict and crisis; settled town life versus a rugged, wild existence. Jane Withersteen, a sincere and faithful young Mormon woman, is persecuted by members of her own church. The as yet unmarried Withersteen has inherited a large and rich piece of property from her father. Elder Tull, an older church leader with several wives already, wants to marry her, but she does not want to marry him. She refuses him and is subsequently beset by troubles as Tull and his men wage a secret vindictive campaign against her. A number of friends, including Bern Venters and Lassiter, a famous gunman, do their best to help Withersteen, but her strong religious convictions blind her to Tull's complicity and compel her to persuade Venters and Lassiter not to kill her adversaries, even as they are slowly ruining her. Ann M. Richardson's sweet voice, with its hint of a Midwestern accent, is the perfect narrator for this new recording of Riders of the Purple Sage.

Title: Power Organization & Efficiency, Get & Stay Organized Now
Subtitle: Sleep Learning, Guided Self Hypnosis, Meditation & Affirmations
Categories: Alternative Medicin, Health, Meditation, Organizational Behavior
Author: Jupiter Productions
Narrator: Anna Thompson
Publisher: Jupiter Productions
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
This "Power Organization and Efficiency" sleep learning program was designed to assist the listener in gaining self-thoughts related to staying focused, setting priorities, working efficiently and strategically, and gaining enhanced pleasure and motivation to complete goals. Some say that we are the sum of what we surround ourselves with. For example: All of the above affect our overall perceptions and thought patterns. Just like the food we eat creates our bodies over time, our thoughts shape who we are and, ultimately, what types of situations we manifest in our lives. Sleep learning can benefit a listener in powerful ways. The mind stays active even while we are sleeping. For example, a mother may sleep soundly through thunderstorms and barking dogs, yet the sound of her baby stirring in the next room will often instantly awaken her. Why not use this time (while you are asleep) to realize your potential? In addition to therapeutic hypnotic techniques and meditative affirmations, this program is further enhanced by the use of brainwave entrainment such as solfeggio tones, isochronic tones, bilateral stimulation, and white noise.

Title: Ending Aging
Subtitle: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime
Categories: Biology, Biotechnology, Gerontology, Health
Author: Michael Rae
Narrator: Stephanie Murphy
Publisher: SENS Research Foundation
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Must we age? A long life in a healthy, vigorous, youthful body has always been one of humanity's greatest dreams. Recent progress in genetic manipulations and calorie-restricted diets in laboratory animals hold forth the promise that someday science will enable us to exert total control over our own biological aging. Nearly all scientists who study the biology of aging agree that we will someday be able to substantially slow down the aging process, extending our productive, youthful lives. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from 60 Minutes to The New York Times, Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely - technology that would not only slow but periodically reverse age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future - is now within reach. In Ending Aging, Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage.

Title: Getting to Green
Subtitle: Saving Nature: A Bipartisan Solution
Categories: Conservation, Ecology, Environment, Outdoor
Author: Frederic C. Rich
Narrator: Scott Aiello
Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
The Green movement in America has lost its way. Pew polling reveals that the environment is one of the two things about which Republicans and Democrats disagree most. Congress has not passed a landmark piece of environmental legislation for a quarter century. As atmospheric CO2 continues its relentless climb, even environmental insiders have pronounced "the death of environmentalism". In Getting to Green, Frederic C. Rich argues that meaningful progress on urgent environmental issues can be made only on a bipartisan basis. Rich reminds us of American conservation's conservative roots and of the bipartisan political consensus that had Republican congressmen voting for, and Richard Nixon signing, the most important environmental legislation of the 1970s. He argues that faithfulness to conservative principles requires the GOP to support environmental protection, while at the same time he criticizes the Green movement for having drifted too far to the left and too often appearing hostile to business and economic growth. With a clear-eyed understanding of past failures and a realistic view of the future, Getting to Green argues that progress on environmental issues is within reach.

Author: Vernell West
Narrator: Vernell West
Publisher: Vernell West
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Set your sights on something savory and sure to scintillate your senses This book is a smorgasbord of thought-provoking and inspirational tidbits inviting the listener to deeply focus on the good and to reflect it back through daily deeds. It looks at life as a lyrical composition played out in our daily lives through our thoughts, poetry, songs, and actions. It is a compilation of who we are, living in a fast-paced world in which our thoughts are not often absorbed, shown or appreciated. This book gives a brief view of what seemingly goes unnoticed, but is in the background of every great human endeavor. It takes you simply to the point with rhythmic, poetic, and philosophical narratives. The descriptive view in words is not instructional, but rather inspirational and motivational. No matter the background or culture of the listener, all who hear it will find something to hold on to. From a source of wisdom that spans more than a century, the author garners knowledge from his 103-year-old maternal grandmother and his mother, who is 86. This book infuses physical and mental joy, dilemma and discovery into bite-sized pieces of knowledge, into poetic and lyrical cadences.

Categories: Biography, Criminology, Fiction, Personal Development
Author: Ann Walmsley
Narrator: Eileen Barrett
Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc.
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
While living in London, Ann Walmsley was brutally mugged just outside her own home. The attack shook her belief in the fundamental goodness of people and left her with PTSD. A few years later, now returned to Canada, her friend, Carol Finlay, asked her to participate in a book club in a men's medium security prison. Ann's curiosity and desire to be of service eventually overcame her anxiety and fear, and she signed on. For 18 months Ann accompanied Carol to a remote building at Collins Bay, meeting with heavily tattooed book club members without the presence of guards or security cameras. Unlike the book clubs she participated in outside of prison, there were no wine and cheese, no nice furnishings, no superficial chat about jobs or recent vacations. Yet the prison book club proved to be a place to share ideas, learn about each other, and regain humanity. For the inmates the books were rare prized possessions and the meetings oases of safety and respites from isolation in an otherwise hostile environment. And their responses to the books were sincere and multifaceted. Discussions about the obstacles the characters faced revealed glimpses of their own struggles, sometimes devastating and sometimes comic.

Title: Boy Soldiers of the American Revolution
Categories: America, Childhood Study, History, Military
Author: Caroline Cox
Narrator: Traber Burns
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Between 1819 and 1845, as veterans of the Revolutionary War were filing applications to receive pensions for their service, the government was surprised to learn that many of the soldiers were not men but boys, many of whom were under the age of 16 and some even as young as nine. In Boy Soldiers of the American Revolution, Caroline Cox reconstructs the lives and stories of this young subset of early American soldiers, focusing on how these boys came to join the army and what they actually did in service. Giving us a rich and unique glimpse into colonial childhood, Cox traces the evolution of youth in American culture in the late 18th century, as the accepted age for children to participate meaningfully in society - not only in the military - was rising dramatically. Drawing creatively on sources such as diaries, letters, and memoirs, Caroline Cox offers a vivid account of what life was like for these boys both on and off the battlefield, telling the story of a generation of soldiers caught between old and new notions of boyhood.

Narrator: Todd Busteed
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

Very rarely in the Bible does God command someone to "stay". He opens a door, and then he invites us to walk through it—into the unknown. And how we choose to respond will ultimately determine the lives we will lead and the people we will become. In fact, to fail to embrace the open door is to miss the work God has made for us to do. In All the Places to Go...How Will You Know?, best-selling author John Ortberg opens our eyes to the countless doors God places before us every day, teaches us how to recognize them, and gives us the encouragement to step out in faith and embrace all of the extraordinary opportunities that await. So go ahead—walk through that door. You just might do something that lasts for eternity.

Title: Counter Culture
Subtitle: A Compassionate Call to Counter Culture in a World of Poverty, Same-Sex Marriage, Racism, Sex Slavery, Immigration, Abortion, Persecution, Orphans and Pornography
Categories: Christian Living, Christianity, Discipleship, Ethic
Author: David Platt
Narrator: Todd Busteed
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Release date: 04-18-2016
Language: English

Summary:
Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times best-selling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty—and challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. Drawing on compelling personal accounts from around the world, Platt presents an unapologetic yet winsome call for Christians to faithfully follow Christ into the cultural battlefield in ways that will prove both costly and rewarding. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that's more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.

Title: The Heart of Meditation
Subtitle: Discovering Innermost Awareness
Categories: Alternative Medicin, Buddhism, Health, Meditation
Author: Dalai Lama
Narrator: Brian Nishii
Publisher: Audible Studios
Release date: 04-15-2016
Language: English

Summary:
His Holiness the Dalai Lama provides intimate details on an advanced meditation practice called Dzogchen using a visionary poem by the 19th-century saint Patrul Rinpoche, author of the Buddhist classic Words of My Perfect Teacher. The Dalai Lama deftly connects how training the mind in compassion for other beings is directly related to - and in fact a prerequisite for - the very pinnacle of Buddhist meditation. He presents his understanding, confirmed again and again over millennia, that the cultivation of both compassion and wisdom is absolutely critical to progress in meditation and goes into great depth on how this can be accomplished. While accessible to a beginner, he leads the listener in very fine detail on how to identify innermost awareness - who we really are - how to maintain contact with this awareness, and how to release oneself from the endless stream of our thoughts to let this awareness, always present, become consistently apparent.

Title: Zone Diet: The Ultimate Beginners Guide to the Zone Diet
Subtitle: Includes 75 Recipes and a 2 Week Meal Plan
Categories: Health, Low Salt, Macrobiotic Diet, Nourishment, Wellbeing
Author: TJ Williams
Narrator: Walt Paisley
Publisher: HRD Publishing
Release date: 04-15-2016
Language: English

Summary:
As you spend your first few days at your cross-training gym, you may be very excited to find out more about the various exercises that are involved, weekly training plans, clothing, and equipment. A well-balanced diet plan can be overlooked at times, but it's a crucial component to providing you with the fuel to get the fitness, performance, and the physique of your dreams. I've worked with hundreds of clients over the last couple of years who misinterpret the meaning of training hard as many of them used to think that bodybuilding or fitness is done only at the gym. But that is not true. There is a popular saying across the fitness industry that states 30 percent of the fitness you gain is from the gym and 70 percent from the kitchen. The exact percentage is likely to fluctuate based on the individual and their goals for training, but the premise is accurate. Most of your gains (approx. 2/3 to 3/4) will be made from nutrition alone.

Release date: 04-15-2016

Summary:
Originally published in 1737, The Crook in the Lot continues to bring comfort and inspire countless souls, and it remains one of the most beloved of all Puritan classics. Its depth of explanation regarding God's role in our afflictions and sufferings is without equal. Thomas Boston - a well-known, influential, and beloved Puritan - was famous for his ability to communicate sound biblical truths in a way that conveyed clarity and insight. In this Puritan classic, he not only reveals a theological understanding of the problems of pain and suffering but also preaches from tangible experience; Boston himself had problems in life that caused him great physical and emotional pain. This short but powerful treatise remains deeply relevant today.

Author: Tim Powers
Narrator: Chris Sorenson
Publisher: Recorded Books
Release date: 04-15-2016
Language: English

Summary:
From the award-winning author of Hide Me Among the Graves, Last Call, Declare, and Three Days to Never, a phantasmagoric, thrilling, mind-bending tale of speculative fiction in which one man must uncover occult secrets of 1920s Hollywood to save his family. In the wake of their Aunt Amity's suicide, Scott and Madeline Madden are summoned to Caveat, the eerie, decaying mansion in the Hollywood hills in which they were raised. But their decadent and reclusive cousins, the malicious wheelchair-bound Claimayne and his sister, Ariel, do not welcome Scott and Madeline's return to the childhood home they once shared. While Scott desperately wants to go back to their shabby South-of-Sunset lives, he cannot pry his sister away from this haunted "House of Usher in the Hollywood Hills" that is a conduit for the supernatural. Decorated by bits salvaged from old hotels and movie sets, Caveat hides a dark family secret that stretches back to the golden days of Rudolph Valentino and the silent film stars. A collection of hypnotic eight-limbed abstract images inked on paper allows the Maddens to briefly fragment and flatten time - to transport themselves into the past and future in visions that are both puzzling and terrifying.

Title: Become a Great Leader, Influence, Inspire & Motivate Others Naturally: Sleep Learning, Guided Self Hypnosis, Meditation & Affirmations
Subtitle: Sleep Learning Series
Series: #4 in Sleep Learning
Categories: Alternative Medicin, Health, Hypnosis, Leadership
Author: Jupiter Productions
Narrator: Anna Thompson
Publisher: Jupiter Productions
Release date: 04-15-2016
Language: English

Summary:
This "Become A Great Leader" sleep learning program was designed to assist the listener in enhancing self-thoughts related to powerful leadership skills, interpersonal effectiveness, career confidence as well as personal confidence and building integrity. Some say that we are the sum total of what we surround ourselves with. For example, what we choose to watch on television, listen to on the radio, who we choose to surround ourselves with, and even the thoughts we think all have an effect on our overall perceptions and thought patterns. Just like the foods that we eat, over time, create our bodies, our thoughts shape who we are, and ultimately what types of situations we manifest in our lives. Sleep learning can benefit a listener in powerful ways. The mind stays active even while we are sleeping. For example, a mother may sleep soundly through thunderstorms and barking dogs yet the sounds of her baby stirring in the next room will often awaken her instantly.
