Summary:

'A compulsive and hilarious read. In Maggie, Hartley has created one of those indelible characters of whom we must thoroughly disapprove and yet cannot help but love.' Karen Joy Fowler

Maggie Cotton's life is a hot mess.

In one day, she's dumped by her boyfriend, disinherited by her mum, and kicked off the three-year degree course she'd stretched to a decade. And that was before she received the letter saying she owed the government $70,000.

But that's no reason to grow up, is it?

With a decrepit 1960s caravan to call home, Maggie has to prove to her mother she can survive without a safety net, stop her loyal best friend Jen from marrying a scumbag, and convince her sexy workmate Rueben that she's not a walking disaster. For someone who's spent her life avoiding hard work, she sure can move mountains when she's got a little motivation - just don't ask her to move the caravan.

Title: Roles of Technology During COVID-19

Author: Annie Li, Kanishtrayen Baskaran, Nicholas Hamzea, Swati Anant

Narrator: Chris Bernhardt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:25:59

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-20

Publisher: Golden Meteorite Press

Genres: Science & Technology, General

Summary:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating impacts on every functional aspect of society, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions more infected in just a few short months. Although many countries and regions, such as Canada and most of Europe, have shown significant decreases in the number of active cases, the pandemic is far from over and, on a global level, the peak has yet to even be reached as of July 2020 (Neustaeter, 2020). What started as a small outbreak in Wuhan, China back in late 2019 quickly snowballed into a "public health emergency of international concern" by the end of January before being declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020a). Within an instant, countries were scrambling to close borders, shut down public spaces and workplaces, and draft new regulations to reduce the spread of COVID-19; the world was in a state of limbo and it seemed as if nobody knew what to do next. For many, this was their first time experiencing a global crisis to this degree and concerns from citizens and governments alike rapidly formed. What will happen to the economy? How will children receive an education? When can families reunite once again? These are just some of the questions that dominated citizens as this "new normal" began to set in. Despite taking some time to adjust, however, solutions to almost all of these concerns began to be put in place largely because of advancements in modern technology.

Title: Caregiving and COVID-19: A Critique of Pandemic Privilege

Author: Alexandra Gross, Dr. Austin Mardon, Elisia Snyder, Gina Schopfer

Narrator: Levon Vokins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:23:17

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-20

Publisher: Golden Meteorite Press

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Summary:

Over 8 million Canadians are providing unpaid, informal care work to elderly or disabled family members and friends, saving the government billions of dollars annually. This work is critical to the functioning of society, yet it has historically been performed silently and without reward. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately exacerbated the day-to-day challenges faced by caregivers, leaving them to fall through the cracks while the rest of the world struggles to adjust to a new normal. In an effort to turn the spotlight on this undervalued demographic, this book will highlight some the key challenges faced by informal caregivers of the following dependents; young children and youth, aging adults, and the chronically ill and disabled. By reading Caregiving and COVID-19: A Critique of Pandemic Privilege, you will gain insight into the intersectional experiences of caregivers both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ways in which the quality of life of these individuals can be improved in our post-pandemic world, and how you can play a part in making sure these caregivers receive care themselves.

Title: Pinch of Salt: Harm Reduction in the Pandemic

Author: Catherine Mardon, Dr. Austin Mardon, Hannah Cho, Khushi Rathod, Neha Saroya, Samira Sundjeri

Narrator: Chris Bernhardt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:43:06

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-20

Publisher: Golden Meteorite Press

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

It is important to acknowledge how far research has come within the last few years and how salt has played a role in the SARS outbreak, the H1N1 virus outbreak, and now, COVID-19. Each new approach, study, trial, and prototype brings us a step closer to finding a treatment and cure for the global health crisis of the century. Salt and its extensive history, dating back to its discovery far earlier than any historical record, has proven its worth as an essential component in our world of food, disinfectants, and preservatives. Whole cities, towns, and civilizations were built based on the availability of salt, as it was considered to be a vital aspect of human life given its widely accessible and inexpensive nature. While this may seem absurd, it proves to us that salt and its multifaceted roles over decades and centuries have emerged to be effective.

Title: Life Without Diabetes: The definitive guide to understanding and reversing type 2 diabetes

Author: Roy Taylor

Narrator: Roy Taylor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:17:34

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-20

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Health & Wellness, Diet & Nutrition, Disorders & Diseases

Summary:

From the global pioneer whose work inspired The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet, a life-changing guide to reversing type 2 diabetes.

For centuries type 2 diabetes was regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition. Even worse, it seemed to be inevitably progressive – but no longer.

 

Professor Roy Taylor is one of the world’s leading experts on type 2, the man who in 2006 finally found the missing piece of the jigsaw explaining that it was actually a reversible condition. With his team of researchers at Newcastle University, he launched a series of studies leading to a remarkable, multi-million-dollar trial, which in 2019 confirmed that simple advice about diet could bring about lasting remission.

 

In this audiobook, Taylor brings all the knowledge and experience of four decades of treating people with diabetes. He explains exactly what is happening in the body as type 2 diabetes develops and shows how you can live a full and healthy life beyond it.

This audiobook edition of Life Without Diabetes includes a downloadable PDF, packed with delicious recipes, menu plans and tips – all the tools you need to live a full and healthy life without diabetes.

‘Roy Taylor and his team at Newcastle University have not only cracked the mystery of what causes type 2 diabetes, the greatest health problem of our time, but shown the world how to get rid of it. This is a terrific book, which could help a huge number of people.’ Dr Michael Mosley, bestselling author of The Fast 800, The Clever Guts Diet and The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet

‘Professor Taylor’s remarkable tenacity in researching the concept that some people are able to put their type 2 diabetes into remission is changing how we think about and treat this pervasive condition.’ Elizabeth Robertson, Director of Research, Diabetes UK

 

‘This fine book contains good science, good writing and good advice in equal measure. It is both fascinating and useful for readers.’ Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of Everything

 

‘When I met Roy in 2012, I had type 2 diabetes – and he showed me another way. Now my blood sugars are normal and my diabetes is a thing of the past.’ Dave Myers, Hairy Biker

 

‘Fascinating, informative and, in today’s world, important. For anyone with type 2 diabetes it’s a no-brainer; follow Roy’s roadmap and reverse it. And if you haven’t got type 2 diabetes – yet – follow Roy’s roadmap and avoid it.’ Jimmy Nail, actor and musician

Narrator: Daniel Klassen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:02:46

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-20

Publisher: Golden Meteorite Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

When a novel coronavirus hit the wet markets of China in December 2019, the world was not prepared. The virus spread like wildfire and within a few months, it had gone global. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 garners much attention in healthcare settings, but illness is not limited to its biological impact-the pandemic's effects are a mosaic of social, economic, political, environmental, and evolutionary influences. The rapid spread of COVID-19 led to major global changes that compromised economies, healthcare systems, and global connectivity. Written by a group of Canadian students with a passion for research and medicine, Under the Weather: COVID-19 Biosocial System Dynamics takes an interdisciplinary outlook on the high transmissibility of COVID-19 and explores ways in which policy makers, researchers, healthcare workers, epidemiologists, and the general public have come together in dire times to combat the disease.

Title: Campus Confidential: An Academic Thriller

Author: Sid Stark

Narrator: Sid Stark

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:42:06

Language: English

Release date: 12-18-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Detective Stories

Summary:

Fans of Kinsey Millhone's grit, Stephanie Plum's humor, or Spenser's wry take on academia will love this new series!

'Brilliantly-written and highly entertaining, a must read...' The Prairies Book Review

'A charming blend of academic inspection and social commentary that weaves an engrossing personal perspective into a blend of social observation and evolving romance.' D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

During one of the worst years on record in the academic job market, newly-minted PhD Rowena Halley has, against all odds, gotten a job. For one semester. At poverty wages. In New Jersey. But with so many of her fellow PhDs bagging groceries--or worse--instead of teaching Russian, this is the best chance she has.

New jobs come with a lot of stress, everyone knows that. But Rowena has more problems than just learning her way around a new campus and convincing all these Yankees that yes, she really is from Georgia. Tensions in the department are high, her family wants to know when shes going to get a decent job and a decent man, and her ex-boyfriend is as usual persona non grata with the Russian government.

Its when students start coming to her for help that she really gets into trouble, though. Rowena got where she is because she wants to help people and save the world, but if shes not careful, her idealism may get her killed.

Witty and suspenseful, Campus Confidential is an insiders look at the gritty underbelly of academia, where the struggles are so vicious because the stakes are so small. Only sometimes, theyre a matter of life and death.

*Content warning: We've got angsty adjunct professors, mouthy undergrads, a cynical Navy vet, and a career Marine all mixing it up in here.The level of adult language is significant.*
