Title: I You We Them: Walking into the World of the Desk Killer

Narrator: Peter Noble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 36:47:52

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Politics, Political Advocacy

Summary:

Vast and revelatory, Dan Grettons I You We Them is an unprecedented study of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity: the desk killers who ordered and directed some of the worst atrocities of the modern era. From Albert Speers complicity in Nazi barbarism to Royal Dutch Shells role in the murders of the Nigerian activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and the rest of the Ogoni Nine, Gretton probes the depths of the figure who, by giving orders, uses paper or a phone or a computer to kill, instead of a gun.

Over the past twenty years, Gretton has interviewed survivors and perpetrators, and pored over archives and thousands of pages of testimony. His insight into the psychology of the desk killer is contextualized by the journey he took to penetrate it. Woven into the narrative are his contemplative interludesperspectives gleaned during walks in the woods, reminiscences about a lost love, and considerations of timeless moral conundrums. The result is a genre-bending work steeped as much in personal reflection as it is in literature and historical and psychological illumination.

A synthesis of history, reportage, and memoir, I You We Them is the first volume of a groundbreaking journal of discovery that bears witness to and reckons with the largest and most pressing questions before humanity.

Title: Battling Drought

Author: Scientific American

Narrator: Alex Boyles

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:50:25

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

The extreme drought in the US Southwest has brought the issues of water use and management to the forefront of media attention. Historically, arguments over water rights have plagued this area since the days of John Wesley Powell, and disputes mark the relations between states, city-dwellers, farmers, and environmentalists to this day. Add to that the challenges of climate change, which is altering rainfall patterns the world over, and the imperative to rethink water management policies becomes acute.

Battling Drought takes a long look at the situation in the American Southwest from the early engineering projects, such as building the Hoover and Grand Coulee dams, which were designed to tame the rivers, to the recycling and restoration efforts of today. Projects like the recycling of wastewater in Santa Rosa, CA, and the restoration of the Aral Sea in Central Asia offer both optimism and lessons for change. However, the story of the Himba in Africawho have, so far, successfully blocked building a dam on a nearby riverillustrates that changing attitudes is often like trying to change the flow of a river. Its an upstream battle. While successful projects like these move us toward that goal, new technologies, methods, and crops are still needed to combat diminishing water supplies. A common saying is that someone spends money like water. Over the last century, weve learned that water might be the more precious of the two.
