Title: One Drum: Stories and Ceremonies for a Planet

Author: Richard Wagamese

Narrator: Christian Baskous

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4:01:33

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-19

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Summary:

Fans of Richard Wagameses writing will be heartened by the news that the bestselling author left behind a manuscript hed been working on until shortly before his death in 2017.

In One Drum, Wagamese wrote, I am not a shaman. Nor am I an elder, a pipe carrier, or a celebrated traditionalist. I am merely one who has trudged the same path many of this human family hasthe path of the seeker, called forward by a yearning I have not always understood.

One Drum draws from the foundational teachings of Ojibway tradition, the Grandfather Teachings. Focusing specifically on the lessons of humility, respect, and courage, the volume contains simple ceremonies that anyone anywhere can do, alone or in a group, to foster harmony and connection. Wagamese believed that there is a shaman in each of us, that we are all teachers, and in the world of the spirit, there is no right way or wrong way.

Writing of neglect, abuse, and loss of identity, Wagamese recalled living on the street, going to jail, drinking too much, feeling rootless and afraid, and then the feeling of hope he gained from connecting with the spiritual ways of his people. He expressed the belief that ceremony has the power to unify and to heal for people of all backgrounds. When that happens, he wrote, we truly become one song and one drum beating together in a common purposeand we are on the path to being healed.

One Drum welcomes listeners to unite in ceremony to heal themselves, and bring harmony to their lives and communities.

Title: Heaven on Earth: How Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo Discovered the Modern World

Author: L. S. Fauber

Narrator: Stephen Bowlby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:36:19

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-19

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, World, Europe, Science & Technology, Astronomy & Physics

Summary:

A vivid narrative that connects the lives off our great astronomers as they discovered, refined, and popularized the first major scientific discovery of the modern era: that the earth moves around the sun

Today we take for granted that a telescope allows us to see galaxies millions of light years away. But before its invention, people used nothing more than their naked eye to fathom what took place in the visible sky. So how did four men in the 1500sof different nationality, age, religion, and classcollaborate to discover that the earth revolved around the sun? With this radical discovery that went against the Church, they created our contemporary worldand with it, the uneasy conditions of modern life.

Heaven on Earth is an intimate examination of this scientific familythat of Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo Galilei. Fauber juxtaposes their scientific work with insight into their personal lives and political considerations, which shaped their pursuit of knowledge. Uniquely, he shows how their intergenerational collaboration was actually what made the scientific revolution possible.

Ranging from the birth of astronomy and the methods of early scientific research, Fauber reveals the human story that underlies this civilization altering discovery. And, contrary to the competitive nature of research today, collaboration was key to early scientific discovery. Before the rise of university research institutions, deep thinkers only had each other. They created a kind of family, related to each other via intellectual pursuit rather than blood.

Filled with rich characters and sweeping historical scope, Heaven on Earth reveals how the strong connections between these pillars of intellectual history moved science forwardand how, without them, we might have waited a long time for a heliocentric model of the universe.

Release date: 12-03-19

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Summary:

Earth is the latest science fiction novel from multiple Hugo Award winner Ben Bova, author of Apes and Angels and Survival

A wave of lethal gamma radiation is expanding from the core of the Milky Way galaxy at the speed of light, killing everything in its path. The countdown to when the death wave will reach Earth and the rest of the solar system is at two thousand years.

Humans were helped by the Predecessors, who provided shielding generators that can protect the solar system. In return, the Predecessors asked humankinds help to save other intelligent species that are in danger of being annihilated.

But what of Earth? With the Death Wave no longer a threat to humanity, humans have spread out and colonized all the worlds of the solar system. The technology of the Predecessors has made Earth a paradise, at least on the surface. But a policy of exiling discontented young people to the outer planets and asteroid mines has led to a deep divide between the new worlds and the homeworld, and those tensions are about to explode into open war.

Title: Clausewitz and Jomini: The Lives and Legacies of the Modern Eras Most Influential Military Theorists

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Colin Fluxman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3:41:04

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Biography & Memoir, History & Culture, Military

Summary:

Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz died almost 200 years ago, yet he remains one of the most important and influential of all military thinkers. His teachings combined strategy with military knowledge to produce a dialectic approach to the philosophy of warfare, and his work is still widely taught in military academies around the world. There are few senior military leaders anywhere who are not familiar with his seminal book, On War.

In fact, with the exception of Napoleon Bonaparte, no man was more influential on the military tactics and strategy of 19th century warfare than Clausewitz, a Prussian soldier and military theorist who stressed the moral and political aspects of war. On War was mandatory for all military students and officers to read during the 19th century, and it was common practice for generals during the American Civil War to carry Clausewitzs treatise and read it to assist them in strategy and tactics.

On War covered every conceivable facet of warfare, using historical battles as examples of what to do and what not to do. The treatise discusses how opposite forces interact, and how unexpected new developments unfolding under the 'fog of war' called for rapid decisions by alert commanders. In opposition to Antoine-Henri Jomini, he argued war could not be quantified or graphed or reduced to mapwork and graphs.

Few men were more influential on the military tactics and strategy of 19th century warfare than Antoine-Henri Jomini, and yet the introduction for a 1947 English translation of Jominis Art of War noted, The military world that today burns gun-powder at the altar of Clausewitzian doctrine has all but forgotten Antoine-Henri Jomini. The author of that introduction, Lt. Col. J.D. Little of the US Marine Corps, was right then, and he remains correct today - while Clausewitzs aphorisms are still used to support everything from military action to business management.
