  Finding Moosewood, Finding God: What Happened When a TV Newsman Abandoned His Career for Life on an Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min

  For 25 years, millions of Americans watched Jack Perkins on NBC News as a correspondent, commentator, and anchorman. People were familiar with his face, his bearing, and his rich, reassuring bass. Yet at the age of 52 and at the height of his career, Jack Perkins disappeared from the public eye and moved with his wife, Mary Jo, to a bare-necessities cabin on an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine. This isolated home they came to call Moosewood was the setting for Jack and Mary Jo’s spiritual awakening. In the busy years of Jack’s career in Los Angeles he hadn’t felt the need for God. In their new, quiet, and difficult life, though, he began to rethink everything he thought he knew. For 13 years they endured (and learned to enjoy) snowbound winters, shuttling supplies from the mainland, testing themselves and their marriage, and discovering the rewards of a close-to-nature life, acknowledging that the hand guiding their blessed new lives was the hand of a gracious God who knew them long before they acknowledged him.... ungekürzt.

  Undazzled , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min

  Sometimes a planet must die before it is discovered.... Exodus from the dying Earth began with the flight of the worm-mole ship, Alpha Horizon, to a fortuitously discovered planet, Ostara. En route mass hallucinations are rampant, and sights once familiar become nightmarishly strange. When they reach Ostara, emotions and identities begin to fray, for in what was supposed to be an uninhabited wilderness the new settlers discover a race of native people who look remarkably human. Pots Kahn-Anderson, a pilot in the elite Crone Squad, successfully navigated her people through the stars, yet she struggles to find her place in this new society. Pilot Pots interacts with the natives, thereby creating an adversary in the military commander, Gunner Dovmont, who sees them as a threat. Pots and Tyr, a mysterious young man with dangerous secrets of his own, befriend a young native girl who believes her tribe cannot be harmed. When the girl's protectors prove to be more than a myth, humanity becomes lost in the border between illusion and reality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gwendolyn Druyor.

  The Barrens (eBook, ePUB)

  This riveting debut is at once a white-water adventure, coming-of-age novel, and tale of tragic love-and an extraordinary father-daughter collaboration. Two young women attending college decide to have a summer adventure canoeing the rapids-strewn Thelon River that runs 450 miles through the uninhabited Barren Lands of subarctic Canada. Holly made the trip once before with a group of skilled paddlers she trained with at camp, and she wants to share that experience with her friend and lover, Lee, believing it will draw them closer. But a week in, Holly, the risk-taker, falls while taking a selfie near the edge of a cliff. She is left injured and comatose, and soon dies. Their locator beacon for summoning rescue was smashed in Holly's fall. It remains to Lee, the inexperienced paddler, to continue the grueling and dangerous trip alone, to save herself and return her lover's body to civilization and Holly's family. In their relationship, Holly and Lee had always told each other stories; Lee had called Holly a "storyist." Storytelling helps Lee endure the rigors of her journey and engage her grief as she explores her relationship with Holly while chronicling her own coming-of-age off the grid in Nebraska with her estranged eco-anarchist father, who is now serving time in prison.

  The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min

  A tale of obsession so fierce that a man kills the thing he loves most: The only giant golden spruce on earth. As vividly as Jon Krakauer put readers on Everest, John Vaillant takes us into the heart of North America's last great forest, where trees grow to eighteen feet in diameter, sunlight never touches the ground, and the chainsaws are always at work. When a shattered kayak and camping gear are found on an uninhabited island, they reignite a mystery surrounding a shocking act of protest. Five months earlier, logger-turned-activist Grant Hadwin had plunged naked into a river in British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands, towing a chainsaw. When his night's work was done, a unique Sitka spruce, 165 feet tall and covered with luminous golden needles, teetered on its stump. Two days later it fell. The tree, a fascinating puzzle to scientists, was sacred to the Haida, a fierce seafaring tribe based in the Queen Charlottes. Vaillant recounts the bloody history of the Haida and the early fur trade, and provides harrowing details of the logging industry, whose omnivorous violence would claim both Hadwin and the golden spruce. ungekürzt.

  The British Empire: The History and Legacy of the Rise and Fall of the Modern World's Most Famous Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min

  World domination is a vision most kings, queens, and emperors can only dream of, and is a path less visited for good reason. It is one that requires above all, patience, as well as skill, tenacity, and an impenetrable plan of action. The only one to ever come close to this impossible level of prestige is none other than the legendary British Empire. It was under the reign of King Henry VII of England that this ambitious idea of global expansion was first planted. In March of 1496, the king granted an exploratory charter to John Cabot, who would pilot a successful voyage that resulted in the occupation of an uninhabited island in Newfoundland. Though Cabot's second voyage ended in disaster, the courage and will he displayed during these endeavors inspired English explorers to organize more ventures and take to the seas themselves, as they hoped to see just how far they could push the envelope. The British Empire: The History and Legacy of the Rise and Fall of the Modern World's Most Famous Empire examines the history and legacy of one of the most important eras in modern history. ungekürzt.

  The White Heron: A Florida Swamp Guide Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min

  In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, the Director of the Florida Keys Bird Observatory has gone missing, along with his boat. Zoologist and fishing guide Sam Sawyer joins in a hunt for Frank Alvarado that takes him from the wilds of the Everglades backcountry to an uninhabited island where he makes a gruesome discovery. Along the way Sam encounters nefarious characters who may have wanted Frank’s disappearance to be a permanent one. Was it a team of shark poachers engaged in the illegal harvest and sale of shark fins? Or was it an ambitious co-worker hoping to take exclusive credit for the biggest ornithological find in Florida in more than a century?Adding to the mystery is the discovery of the skeleton of a murder victim long-buried underneath a local bar, along with the murder of Becky Nesmith, a Ranger in Everglades National Park. Though seemingly unrelated, Sam cannot shake the feeling that the three cases are linked. With the help of his wife Katie, a forensic scientist, and his best friend Snooks Lancaster, Sam works with local law enforcement to look for common threads tying the three homicides together. Ultimately they are successful, but none could have predicted the bizarre outcome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ross Pipkin.
