Title: Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons

Author: Kris Newby

Narrator: Coleen Marlo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:01:51

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases, Science & Technology, Medicine

Summary:

A riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our timeLyme diseaseand of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.

While on vacation on Marthas Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick. That one bite changed her life forever, pulling her into the abyss of a devastating illness that took ten doctors to diagnose and years to recover: Newby had become one of the 300,000 Americans who are afflicted with Lyme disease each year.

As a science writer, she was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbes discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong.

In a superb, meticulous work of narrative journalism, Bitten takes readers on a journey to investigate these claims, from biological weapons facilities to interviews with biosecurity experts and microbiologists doing cutting-edge research, all the while uncovering darker truths about Willy. It also leads her to uncomfortable questions about why Lyme can be so difficult to both diagnose and treat, and why the government is so reluctant to classify chronic Lyme as a disease.

A gripping, infectious page-turner, Bitten will shed a terrifying new light on an epidemic that is exacting an incalculable toll on us, upending much of what we believe we know about it.

The Alienist meets The City & The City in this brilliant debut that mixes fantasy and mystery. Gilda Carrs tiny mysteries pack a giant punch.'' --David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder As a Fine Art

**

A young detective who specializes in tiny mysteries finds herself at the center of a massive conspiracy in this beguiling historical fantasy set on Manhattans Westsidea peculiar and dangerous neighborhood home to strange magic and stranger residentsthat blends the vivid atmosphere of Caleb Carr with the imaginative power of Neil Gaiman.

Its 1921, and a thirteen-mile fence running the length of Broadway splits the island of Manhattan, separating the prosperous Eastside from the Westsidean overgrown wasteland whose hostility to modern technology gives it the flavor of old New York. Thousands have disappeared here, and the respectable have fled, leaving behind the killers, thieves, poets, painters, drunks, and those too poor or desperate to leave.

It is a hellish landscape, and Gilda Carr proudly calls it home.

Slightly built, but with a will of iron, Gilda follows in the footsteps of her late father, a police detective turned private eye.

Those tiny cases distract her from her grief, and the one impossible question she knows she cant answer: How did my father die?

Yet on Gildas Westside, tiny mysteries end in bloodeven the case of a missing white leather glove. Mrs. Copeland, a well-to-do Eastside housewife, hires Gilda to find it before her irascible merchant husband learns it is gone. When Gilda witnesses Mr. Copelands murder at a Westside pier, she finds herself sinking into a mire of bootlegging, smuggling, corruptionand an evil too dark to face.

All she wants is to find one dainty ladies glove. She doesnt want to know why this merchant was on the wrong side of townor why he was murdered in cold blood. But as she begins to see the connection between his murder, her fathers death, and the darkness plaguing the Westside, she faces the hard truth: she must save her city or die with it.

Introducing a truly remarkable female detective, Westside is a mystery steeped in the supernatural and shot through with gunfights, rotgut whiskey, and sizzling Dixieland jazz. Full of dazzling color, delightful twists, and truly thrilling action, it announces the arrival of a wonderful new talent.

Title: All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal Partnership

Author: Darcy Lockman

Narrator: Abby Craden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:54:32

Language: English

Release date: 05-07-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, Psychology, Parenting

Summary:

Picking up where All Joy and No Fun left off, All the Rage sets out to understand why, in an age of so-called equality, full-time working mothers still carry.

The inequity of domestic life is one of the most profound and perplexing conundrums of our time. In an era of seemingly unprecedented feminist activism, enlightenment, and change, data show that one area of gender inequality stubbornly remains: the unequal amount of parental work that falls on women, no matter their class or professional status. All the Rage investigates the cause of this pervasive inequity to answer why, in households where both parents work full-time, mothers contributionseven those women who earn more than their partnersstill outweigh fathers when it comes to raising children and maintaining a home.

How can this be? How, in a culture that has studied and lauded the benefits of fathers being active, present partners in child-rearingbenefits that extend far beyond the well-being of the kids themselvescan a commitment to fairness in marriage melt away upon the arrival of children?

Darcy Lockman drills deep to find answers, exploring how the feminist promise of true domestic partnership almost never, in fact, comes to pass. Starting with her own case-study as Ground Zero, she moves outward, chronicling the experiences of a diverse cross-section of women raising children with men; visiting new mothers groups and pioneering co-parenting specialists; and interviewing experts across academic fields, from gender studies professors and anthropologists to neuroscientists and primatologists. Lockman identifies three tenets that have upheld the cultural gender division of labor and peels back the reasons both men and women are culpable. Her findings are startlingand offer a catalyst for true change.
