Title: Lakes: Their Birth, Life, and Death

Author: John Richard Saylor

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 30 minutes

Release date: January 17, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Lakes might be the most misunderstood bodies of water on earth. And while they may seem commonplace, without lakes our world would never be the same. In this revealing look at these lifegiving treasures, John Richard Saylor shows us just how deep our connection to still waters run. Lakes is an illuminating tour through the most fascinating lakes around the world. Whether it's Lake Vostok, located more than two miles beneath the surface of Antarctica, whose water was last exposed to the atmosphere perhaps a million years ago; Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, the world's deepest and oldest lake formed by a rift in the earth's crust; or Lake Nyos, the so-called Killer Lake that exploded in 1986, resulting in hundreds of deaths, Saylor reveals to us the wonder that exists in lakes found throughout the world. Along the way we learn all the many forms that lakes take—how they come to be and how they feed and support ecosystems—and what happens when lakes vanish.

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

After serving as a US Marine during World War II and attending college on the GI Bill, Sam Keith decided to seek adventure in Alaska as a laborer on the Adak Navy base. There he befriended Dick Proenneke, whose shared love of the outdoors, hard work, and self-reliance quickly bonded an alliance between the two. Together they explored the wilds of South Central Alaska, while working on the Navy base, hunting and fishing with friends and breathing in the great outdoors. Keith was ready to leave after three years of finding almost everything he sought—not realizing then how his fate was intrinsically tied to his friend's and how it would lead to writing the bestselling book One Man's Wilderness. Sam Keith passed away in 2003. But in 2013, his son-in-law and children's book author/illustrator Brian Lies discovered in an archive box in their garage a book manuscript, originally written in 1974 after the publication of One Man's Wilderness. First Wilderness is the story of Keith's own experiences, at times harrowing, funny, and fascinating. Along with the original manuscript are excerpts from his journals, letters, and notebooks, woven in to create a compelling and poignant memoir of search and discovery. Foreword by Nick Jans, one of Alaska's foremost authors and photographers, and afterword by Keith's daughter Laurel Lies.

Title: The Museum of the Wood Age

Author: Max Adams

Narrator: Max Adams

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 10 minutes

Release date: January 12, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.

Králíci jsou třetím nejoblíbenějším domácím mazlíčkem na západě a jejich obliba roste i ve zbytku světa.

Cílem této knihy je poradit budoucím majitelům, jak si vybrat, koupit a starat se o domácího králíka. Říká se, a i já jsem zjistil, že je to pravda, králíci jsou přibližně stejně inteligentní jako průměrná kočka nebo pes. Žijí také přibližně stejně dlouho, ale jsou méně nároční a snadněji se krmí. Jsou vlastně ideální pro lidi, kteří nemohou moc chodit ven nebo nechtějí mít v lednici či dokonce v domě maso, protože jsou stoprocentní vegetariáni! Pokud toho o králících moc nevíte, mohli byste si s prominutím myslet, že je králík jako králík, ale ve skutečnosti existuje 370 tříd králíků (podle britských a amerických králičích organizací) a pocházejí ze 70 různých zemí. Existuje tedy velký výběr velikostí a barev. Nejen to, majitelé vám také řeknou, že každý králík má svou vlastní osobnost, podobně jako kočka nebo pes. Obecně však můžeme říci, že králíci jsou učenliví, klidní a přátelští a nemají rádi hrubé zacházení nebo hru. Králíci jsou také třetím nejoblíbenějším domácím mazlíčkem ve Velké Británii a čtvrtým v USA a třetím nejoblíbenějším u všech věkových skupin od dvanácti let výše. Jste tedy v dobré společnosti.

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Discover the uses and symbolic meanings of flowers over the centuries and across the globe. Flowers have been depicted as objects of beauty and wonder in countless paintings and poems, exchanged as tokens of love and affection, and displayed as symbols of both celebration and remembrance - 'saying it with flowers' is truly part of the human experience. But how does the significance of flowers vary across cultures and at different points in history? And what makes certain flowers special? The Secret Language of Flowers explores the meaning of more than 80 flowers, tracing their history as symbols and charting their role in folklore and mythology around the world. Uncover the rich and fascinating histories of individual flowers - the sunflower, for example, which was regarded by the Aztecs as a symbol of war, but became a symbol of devotion in 19th-century painting due to the fact that it 'turns its head' to follow the sun. Learn about the function of flowers in society, from the practical to the playful - flowers have been used as remedies - to soothe burns and aid digestion, for example - and as a means of sending cryptic communications. From the humble marigold to the complex orchid, the flowers in this book are arranged by season. The rose is celebrated in a dedicated chapter, reflecting its popularity in a variety of cultures and societies. Quirky, accessible, and informative, The Secret Language of Flowers is an entertaining guide to the rich stories that lie beyond the seductive aromas and dazzling beauty of flowers of all kinds. © 2023 DK © 2022 DK Audio

Publisher's Summary:

A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure! ...The Publishers
