Title: Children of the Northern Forest: Wild New England's History from Glaciers to Global Warming

Author: Jamie Sayen

Narrator: Stephen Caffrey

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 31 minutes

Release date: January 16, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Jamie Sayen approaches the story of northern New England's undeveloped forests from the viewpoints of the previously unheard: the forest and the nonhuman species it sustains, the First Peoples, and, in more recent times, the disenfranchised human voices of the forest, including those of loggers, mill workers, and citizens who, like Henry David Thoreau, wish to speak a kind word for nature. From 1988 to 2016 paper companies sold their timberlands and closed seventeen paper mills in northern New England. Policy makers ceded veto power to large absentee landowners, who tried to preserve the status quo by demanding additional tax cuts and other subsidies for economic elites. They vetoed measures designed to restore and preserve forest health; at present, about half of the former industrial forests are classified as degraded, and the regional economy continues to be trapped in low-value commodity markets. This book operates as a case study of how a rural resource region can respond to a global economy responsible for climate change, habitat loss and degradation, and environmental injustice. Sayen offers a blueprint for restoring vast wildlands and transitioning to a lower-carbon, high-value-adding, local economy, while protecting the natural rights of humans, nonhumans, and unborn generations.

Title: Fishing Bamboo: An Angler's Passion for the Traditional Fly Rod

Author: John Gierach

Narrator: David Colacci

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 27 minutes

Release date: January 16, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Once an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo. By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing. But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try. With this book, John Gierach, one of the nation's top fly-fishing writers, provides a philosophical guide to the angler who seeks this new 'old' method. Gierach discusses how bamboo rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher's approach to the sport. Fishing bamboo might be the pinnacle of fly-casting skill, and this book will help take you there.

Title: Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe

Author: Carl Safina

Narrator: Carl Safina

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 19 minutes

Release date: January 16, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

When ecologist Carl Safina and his wife, Patricia, took in a near-death baby owl, they expected that, like other wild orphans they'd rescued, she'd be a temporary presence. But Alfie's feathers were not growing correctly, requiring prolonged care. As Alfie grew and gained strength, she became a part of the family, joining a menagerie of dogs and chickens and making a home for herself in the backyard. Alfie & Me is the story of the remarkable impact this little owl would have on their lives. The continuing bond of trust following her freedom—and her raising of her own wild brood—coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a year in which Carl and Patricia were forced to spend time at home without the normal obligations of work and travel. Witnessing all the fine details of their feathered friend's life offered Carl and Patricia a view of existence from Alfie's perspective. One can travel the world and go nowhere; one can be stuck keeping the faith at home and discover a new world. Safina's relationship with an owl made him want to better understand how people have viewed humanity's relationship with nature across cultures and throughout history. Interwoven with Safina's keen observations, insight, and reflections, Alfie & Me is a work of profound beauties and magical timing harbored within one upended year.

The board-certified specialists of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists are here to decode how dogs think, how they communicate, and how they learn. More than 90 percent of dog owners consider their pets to be members of their family. But often, despite our best intentions, we are letting our dogs down by not giving them the guidance and direction they need. Unwanted behavior is the number-one reason dogs are relinquished to shelters and rescue groups. The key to training dogs effectively is first to understand why our dogs do what they do. And no one can address this more authoritatively than the diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, whose expert and researched work analyze problem behaviors and correct common misconceptions. With veterinary-approved positive training methods, expert advice on socialization, and remedies for behavior problems such as OCD and aggression, Decoding Your Dog is the must-have behavior guide that will challenge the way we think about man's best friend.

Title: In the Name of Sharks: 1st Edition

Author: François Sarano

Narrator: Graham Mack

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 7 minutes

Release date: January 9, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.

Title: Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto

Author: Kohei Saito

Narrator: Kohei Saito, Troy Glasgow

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 5 minutes

Release date: January 9, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.67 of Total 3

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

'Why, in our affluent society, do so many people live in poverty, without access to health care, working multiple jobs, and are nevertheless unable to make ends meet, with no future prospects, while the planet is burning? In his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. Capitalism creates artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on the value of products rather than their usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above all else. It is therefore impossible to reverse climate change in a capitalist society; in fact, the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution. Instead, Saito advocates for degrowth and deceleration, which he conceives as the slowing of economic activity through the democratic reform of labor and production. In practical terms, he argues for the following: the end of mass production and mass consumption. decarbonization through shorter working hours. the prioritization of essential labor over corporate profits. By returning to a system of social ownership, he argues, we can restore abundance and focus on those activities that are essential for human life, effectively reversing climate change and saving the planet.'

Title: Don't Count the Kilometres Make the Kilometres Count

Author: Joao Perre Viana

Narrator: Joao Perre Viana

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 36 minutes

Release date: January 4, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

It sounds unlikely, but this book is every possible aspect of the walker/writer genre in one beautifully seamless contemplation. Personal, anecdotal, psychogeographic, psychological, physiological, and spiritual understandings and stories weave around the profoundly practical, deeply kind, and grounded guidance of somebody with 7000s of kilometres and 7000s of insights and deep generosity of spirit. Joao shares his own unfolding inner and outer path with disarming humility and honesty and describes the journeys of his many participants with a lightness of touch that belies the profound transformations that people from all walks of life (pun intended) have discovered on the many Caminos described here. As well as this there is detailed advice on particular routes, where to stay, when to walk and how to do it which trump any walking guide I have read. It really is an instruction manual for a more intentional and fulfilling life and will leave you itching to go outside and begin. For those on a long walk or traveling light, this is the only book you will need. The best way to experience these pages will require walking shoes and the will to walk. Preferably along a path that leads to Nature. Because nothing beats reality, and the reality of Walking Mentorship is waiting for you out of doors. All the stories that appear in this book are real, and Joao tries to tell them as clearly and in detail as his mind remembers. He changed the name of the majority of the characters and avoided making any specific references related to real life. Finally, a note about the book itself: I am not sure this is a book. At times, it seemed like a diary; other moments, like a travel guide, and some days, I even looked at it as a manual. Use it in the best possible way. What you are about to open is just a door. After reading these pages, you might feel the urge to step outside and go for a long stroll. Don´t worry, that is normal. Keep walking
