Radical Joy for Hard Times: Finding Meaning and Making Beauty in Earth's Broken Places , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min

In a time of uncertainty and devastation - from pandemics to environmental catastrophe - a call to action for finding beauty, creating art, and healing in community. When a beloved place is decimated by physical damage, many may hit the donate button or call their congressperson. But award-winning author Trebbe Johnson argues that we need new methods for coping with these losses and invites listeners to reconsider what constitutes “worthwhile action”. She discusses real wounded places ranging from weapons-testing grounds at Eglin Air Force Base to Appalachian mountain tops destroyed by mining. These stories, along with tools for community engagement - ceremony, vigil, apology, and the creation of art with on-site materials - show us how we can find beauty in these places and discover new sources of meaning and community. ungekürzt.

Is anybody out there? After a long winter spent hunkering down in Wyoming, Bree, Nate, and the gang are back on the road.

How to Sell a Poison (eBook, ePUB)

The story of an infamous poison that left toxic bodies and decimated wildlife in its wake is also a cautionary tale about how corporations stoke the flames of science denialism for profit. The chemical compound DDT first earned fame during World War II by wiping out insects that caused disease and boosting Allied forces to victory. Americans granted it a hero's homecoming, spraying it on everything from crops and livestock to cupboards and curtains. Then, in 1972, it was banned in the US. But decades after that, a cry arose to demand its return. This is the sweeping narrative of generations of Americans who struggled to make sense of the notorious chemical's risks and benefits. Historian Elena Conis follows DDT from postwar farms, factories, and suburban enclaves to the floors of Congress and tony social clubs, where industry barons met with Madison Avenue brain trusts to figure out how to sell the idea that a little poison in our food and bodies was nothing to worry about. In an age of spreading misinformation on issues including pesticides, vaccines, and climate change, Conis shows that we need new ways of communicating about science-as a constantly evolving discipline, not an immutable collection of facts-before it's too late.

The House the Beatles Built: A Memoir of My Time Working for Geoffrey Giuliano , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 47min

The House the Beatles Built: A Memoir of My Time Working for Geoffrey Giuliano is a witty, irreverent, turbulent take on a young man's internship as the literary associate of rock biographer Giuliano.Set in 1991, during the last gasp of the white glove publishing industry, this was a time before the Internet, before authors were interviewed in their living rooms on Skype but rather traveled the world like kings, bedding down in exotic locales the world over at the publishers' expense.Journeyman author Brandon Stickney gives us a glimpse into the narcissistic, upside down world of the outrageous tabloid biographer in the last golden moments of an industry now decimated by the digital revolution. It was a time of riches for even moderately successful authors caught here as a snapshot of avarice, vice, and unrestrained ego, served up in a delightfully funny and engaging narrative. Narrated by his old boss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/166470/bk_acx0_166470_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
