Title: The Two-Headed Whale: Life, Loss, and the Tangled Legacy of Whaling in the Antarctic

Author: Sandy Winterbottom

Narrator: Lisa S. Ware

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 57 minutes

Release date: November 7, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

An elegant blend of 'polemic, industrial history, nautical writing, elegy, and ecology' (The Scotsman), The Two-Headed Whale charts the tragic history of the post-war whaling industry alongside the author's thrilling memoir of sailing the Antarctic. In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this whole scale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story. The Two-Headed Whale vividly brings to life the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the vast Southern Oceans, set alongside the true-life story of Anthony Ford, the boy in the grave, as he sailed the same seas and toiled in an industry where profits outranked human life. Drawing together threads of nature and travel writing with an unflinching narrative of life aboard a whaling factory ship and the legacy it left behind, The Two-Headed Whale leaves us questioning our troubled relationship with the extraordinary abundance of this planet.

Title: [German] - Homo destructor: Eine Mensch-Umwelt-Geschichte

Author: Werner Bätzing

Narrator: Philipp Schepmann

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 16 hours 36 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

VON DER ENTSTEHUNG DES MENSCHEN ZUR ZERSTÖRTEN WELT: DIE GESCHICHTE UNSERER BEZIEHUNG ZUR NATUR Mit 'Homo destructor – Eine Mensch-Umwelt-Geschichte' legt der bekannte Geograph und Alpenforscher Werner Bätzing sein Opus magnum vor: eine breit angelegte, bis zur Entstehung des Homo sapiens zurückreichende Geschichte unserer Beziehung zur Natur. Sie nimmt auch die drohende Zerstörung der Menschenwelt, wie wir sie kennen, in den Blick – sollte es uns nicht doch noch gelingen, Klimaerwärmung und Artensterben aufzuhalten. Voraussetzung dafür, so Bätzings These, ist, dass wir einen Schritt zurücktun und die Erfahrungen der vormodernen Gesellschaft im Umgang mit Natur und Umwelt wieder stärker berücksichtigen. Um zu überleben, hat der Mensch bereits in der vormodernen Zeit in die vorgefundene Natur eingegriffen und sie verändert. Aber er hat sich stets darum bemüht, diese Veränderungen positiv und nicht destruktiv zu gestalten. Denn es waren seine Lebensgrundlagen, von denen sein eigenes Leben und das der nachfolgenden Generationen abhängig war. Erst mit den modernen Naturwissenschaften, mit Aufklärung, industrieller Revolution und Marktwirtschaft setzt sich ein kurzfristiges Denken und Handeln durch, das Natur und Umwelt vernutzt, ohne an ihre langfristige Erhaltung zu denken. Mittlerweile wird deutlich, dass ein solches Denken und Handeln langfristig die gesamte Umwelt zerstört und letztlich zur Selbstzerstörung des Menschen führt.

Title: Birding Under the Influence: Cycling Across America in Search of Birds and Recovery

Author: Dorian Anderson

Narrator: Madison Niederhauser

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 51 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year—a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months—is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That’s next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian’s double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life.

Length: 0 hours 54 minutes

Release date: October 31, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). This is a divided and chaotic world. A world torn apart by greed and hatred. By desires that spread around the world like a disease. The stress of modern life pushes us further and further apart from each other and nature. The simple fact is that we are destroying the planet upon which we rely for sustenance. Our chaotic minds form chaotic societies. Power and wealth are in the hands of the people who should not have them. We subconsciously know that we have screwed things up and yet we proceed to screw things up a little more with each passing generation. We have forgotten the prime directive of the universe. We ignore its teachings. We fail to listen to its pleas. The truth that will save you and all of mankind is very simple. It is the Universal Law of Attraction and it is time to listen and learn from it.

Title: Restoring Eden: Unearthing the Agribusiness Secret That Poisoned My Farming Community

Author: Elizabeth D. Hilborn

Narrator: Marnye Young

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 19 minutes

Release date: October 31, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

All spring, Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn watched as her family fruit farm of many years became increasingly diminished, suffering from a lack of bees. The plentiful wildlife, so abundant just weeks before, was gone. Everything was still, silent. As an environmental scientist trained to investigate disease outbreaks, she rose to the challenge. Despite facing headwinds from skeptical neighbors, environmental experts, and agricultural consultants, she'd assembled information. The chemicals found in her water samples showed beyond any doubt that not only her farm, but her greater farming community, was at risk from toxic chemicals that traveled with rain water over the land and deep within the soil. Even as a scientist, she'd been unaware of the risks to life from some common agricultural chemicals. Her goal was to protect her farm and the animals who lived there. But first she had to convince her rural neighbors of the risk to their way of life, too. A lyrical celebration of nature by a passionate citizen scientist who felt called to advocate for the land, earth, and creatures who don't have a voice, Restoring Eden ultimately offers hope that citizens can create change, that reform is possible.

Title: [German] - 2,8 Grad: Der Erde ist der Klimakollaps egal - der Menscheit nicht

Author: Marie-Luise Wolff

Narrator: Madeleine Coco Sanders

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 57 minutes

Release date: October 26, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Alles hat seinen Preis - auch die Erde. Das Ziel der Pariser Klimakonferenz von 2015, die Erderwärmung auf 1,5 Grad Celsius zu beschränken, gilt für die Wissenschaft als gescheitert. Laut Weltklimarat steuert unser Planet bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts auf eine Erwärmung von mindestens 2,8 Grad Celsius zu. Das brächte unser gesamtes Ökosystem zum Kippen und die Menschheit an den Rand der Überlebensfähigkeit: Stürme, schmelzende Polkappen, Dürren und Flutkatastrophen werden Städte und Länder bedrohen und damit den Lebensraum von Menschen und Tieren auf sämtlichen Kontinenten. Wie können wir diesen Kipppunkten entgegenwirken? Marie-Luise Wolff plädiert für eine globale Politik, die den Planeten und seine begrenzten Ressourcen in den Mittelpunkt stellt und einpreist. Sie erklärt, was dabei die wichtigsten Schritte sind und warum das planetarische Agieren eine der wenigen Chancen darstellt, die wir überhaupt noch haben, um menschlichem Leben auf der Erde eine Zukunft zu bewahren.

Title: [Spanish] - La maldición de la nuez moscada: Parábolas para un planeta en crisis

Author: Amitav Ghosh

Narrator: Joel Valverde

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 25 minutes

Release date: October 17, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

El nuevo libro de Amitav Ghosh, una poderosa obra de historia, ensayo, testimonio y polémica, remonta nuestra crisis planetaria contemporánea al descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo y la ruta marítima hacia el Océano Índico. ‘La maldición de la nuez moscada’ sostiene que la dinámica del cambio climático actual hunde sus raíces en un orden geopolítico secular construido por el colonialismo occidental. 1 / 7 En el centro de la narración de Ghosh está la hoy omnipresente especia nuez moscada. La historia de la nuez moscada es una historia de conquista y explotación, tanto de la vida humana como del entorno natural. En manos de Ghosh, la historia de la nuez moscada se convierte en una parábola de nuestra crisis medioambiental, revelando el modo en que la historia humana siempre ha estado enredada con materiales terrestres como las especias, el té, la caña de azúcar, el opio y los combustibles fósiles. Nuestra crisis, demuestra, es en última instancia el resultado de una visión mecanicista de la Tierra, en la que la naturaleza sólo existe como un recurso para que los humanos la utilicemos para nuestros propios fines, en lugar de una fuerza propia, llena de agencia y significado. Escribiendo con la pandemia mundial y las protestas de Black Lives Matter como telón de fondo, Ghosh enmarca estos relatos históricos de una manera que conecta nuestras historias coloniales compartidas con la profunda desigualdad que vemos a nuestro alrededor hoy en día. Entrelazando debates sobre todo tipo de temas, desde la historia global del comercio del petróleo hasta la crisis migratoria y la espiritualidad animista de las comunidades indígenas de todo el mundo, ‘La maldición de la nuez moscada’ ofrece una aguda crítica de la sociedad occidental y habla de las formas profundamente notables en que la historia humana está moldeada por fuerzas no humanas.
