Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's Summary:

Twenty-five years ago they bought a homestead, in the middle of Vancouver Island, on the water's edge. There are still reflections off the small lake at the foot of Mount Benson - of gardens and vineyards and woodland encounters.

Westwood Lake Chronicles is a dreamscape diary, a backyard inventory of life and death in paradise, and the desperate pressures that threaten its existence.

Lawrence Winkler has written an anthem to living deliberately with nature, and the virtues of simplicity, self-sufficiency, solitude, and silence. Find refuge.

Members Reviews:

In praise on nature

The author, who lives on Vancouver Island and practices medicine there, has written a series of books on the natural scene about his home, which he loves. The reader is taken on treks through the woods and fields with the pet dog. In keeping with his scientific background, the author laces his lyrical account with scientific factoids. Very enjoyable recreational reading

Much more than a dreamscape diary

A delicious,rich,fascinating melange of descriptive natural history,science,lore,and romance by an intellectual who struggles with 'whither Mother Earth?'. Not a gulpable book - should be savored in sips.

An islander's view

Winkler did a great job of describing Westwood Lake and its natural beauty. He describes beautifully his passion for his environment with facts and humor! A thoroughly enjoyable read!

Five Stars

Thanks Doc Wink another great read.

Dream yourself out in nature

Lawrence Winkler describes his lovely home at Westwood Lake. He describes every animal and plant he had met or heard at his time he is living there, in a special way. Now I can imagine how wild and untouched landscape he is living in, which animal you can see and hear there.

This book could be nice if you want to dream yourself out in nature.

Because this book is described in a very detailed way, I have read it in periods.

Title: City Girl, Country Girl

Subtitle: The Inspiring True Stories of Courageous Women Forging New Lives in the Australian Bush

Author: Liz Harfull

Narrator: Liz Harfull

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-16

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

'I'm sitting down to write the opening lines of this book a year to the day since my mum died. She is constantly in my thoughts, not just because I miss her terribly but because she was the inspiration for this collection of stories about women who have come from very different places to make new lives in rural Australia.'

City Girl, Country Girl brings together the stories of women who have left lives in the city or other countries to build new futures in places where knowing how to milk a cow or drive a tractor stands them in far better stead than an ability to negotiate rush-hour traffic or find a good cappuccino.

It ranges in scope from the classic outback story of Sarah Durack in the late 1800s to the author's own mother's experiences of swapping wartime Melbourne for a dairy farm on the Limestone Coast to the present day. City Girl, Country Girl is a compelling and fascinating account of these women's journeys as they struggle through personal tragedy, hardship and self-doubt with grace, humour, perseverance and more than a little hard work.

Title: Jason Kidd: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Point Guards

Author: Clayton Geoffreys

Publisher's Summary:

Learn the inspiring story of the legendary point guard Jason Kidd!

In Jason Kidd: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Point Guards, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier point guards. Jason Kidd was easily one of the best point guards to play the game of basketball throughout the 2000s. With an extraordinary ability to pass the ball at precisely the right time, Kidd was like Steve Nash in that he made the teammates around him fundamentally better.

Being an NBA Champion (with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011), 10-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA First Team member, Jason Kidd's passing and rebounding abilities made him feared by opponents. He corralled triple-doubles years before flashy athletic point guards like Russell Westbrook began doing so.

Title: Reinhold Niebuhr (Amerikanske tnkere)

Author: Astrid Nonbo Andersen, Christian Olaf Christiansen

Narrator: Morten Rnnelund

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-28-16

Publisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Reinhold Niebuhr var teolog, etiker, praest, magasinredaktr og politisk kommentator. Niebuhr begyndte sin karriere som venstreorienteret, pacifistisk praest, men skiftede fra 1930'erne side til en neo-ortodoks realistisk teologi. I sine vaerker udviklede han den teologisk-filosofiske retning, der blev kendt som kristen realisme.

Amerikansk kultur og politik fylder meget i vores bevidsthed og i det danske mediebillede. Vi ved meget om det (populaer) kulturelle Amerika, men det er de faerreste af os, der ved saerligt meget om de taenkere og tanker, der har formet den stormagt, der har s stor indflydelse p vores liv. Amerikanske taenkere er en velformidlet introduktion til de taenkere og bevaegelser, der har haft strst indflydelse p det amerikanske samfund og den konkrete politiske udvikling i landet de seneste 150 r.

Nogle som f.eks. Martin Luther King, Richard Rorty og Ayn Rand er mere kendte i Danmark end andre, som f.eks. teologen Reinhold Niebuhr eller den afroamerikanske borgerrettighedsaktivist W.E.B. Du Bois, men tilsammen giver udvalget et unikt indblik i USA's idémaessige traditioner, historie og kultur. Den vil give danskerne en langt mere dybdegende introduktion til og forstelse for f.eks. USA's udenrigspolitik, for race- og slavesprgsmalet, for USA's saerlige ideologiske historie, hvor "liberalisme" og "socialisme" f.eks. betyder noget ganske andet end herhjemme og for den store betydning, som religion - ikke mindst kristendom - har i USA.

Udvalget af de 14 amerikanske taenkere (samt tea party- og occupy wallstreet-bevaegelserne) er foretaget i kyndigt samrd med amerikanske idehistorikere og er skrevet af de absolut frende danske USA-eksperter som f.eks. Niels Bjerre-Poulsen, Carl Pedersen, Vibeke Schou-Tjalve og Casper Sylvest. Redaktrerne Astrid Nonbo Andersen og Christian O. Christiansen, der begge er idéhistorikere, har forsynet bogen med en fyldig indledning, der introducerer til vaerket og centrale begreber som liberalisme, socialisme, republikanisme og andre vaesentlige politiske tankestrmme i USA.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Martin Luther King, wie er wirklich lebte, seine innere Kraft, seine soziale Leidenschaft. Martin Luther King, ein Mann mit einem konkreten Traum, wie Menschen unterschiedlicher Hautfarbe, Religiosität und Kultur aus allen sozialen Klassen zusammenleben können. Kein idealistischer Träumer, kein konfliktscheuer Gutmensch. Ein leidenschaftlicher Mann, dem die Herzen zuflogen, der sich Rückschlägen und unerhörten Spannungen ausgesetzt sah, immer todesbewusst war und daher überaus lebensvoll und heiter.

Ein schwarzer Friedensnobelpreisträger, der mit seinem gewaltfreien Engagement für Menschenrechte den Staat zu grundlegenden Reformen nötigte. Die von ihm inspirierten Massenproteste gegen den Vietnam-Krieg und die Armut erschütterten die USA bis in die Grundfesten. King war damit zum "nationalen Sicherheitsrisiko" geworden, er wurde ermordet.
