Title: Building and Dwelling: Ethics for the City

Author: Richard Sennett

Narrator: Danny Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:24:11

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Politics, World, Social Science, Public Policy, Architecture & Design

Summary:

A reflection on the past and present of city life, and a bold proposal for its future

In this sweeping work, the preeminent sociologist Richard Sennett traces the anguished relation between how cities are built and how people live in them, from ancient Athens to twenty-first-century Shanghai. He shows how Paris, Barcelona, and New York City assumed their modern forms; rethinks the reputations of Jane Jacobs, Lewis Mumford, and others; and takes us on a tour of emblematic contemporary locations, from the backstreets of Medellin, Colombia, to Google headquarters in Manhattan.

Through it all, Sennett laments that the 'closed city'-segregated, regimented, and controlled-has spread from the Global North to the exploding urban centers of the Global South. He argues instead for a flexible and dynamic 'open city,' one that provides a better quality of life, that can adapt to climate change and challenge economic stagnation and racial separation.

With arguments that speak directly to our moment-a time when more humans live in urban spaces than ever before-Sennett forms a bold and original vision for the future of cities.

Title: Lost Shepherd: What Believers Once Knew about Psalm 23 That the Modern World Has Forgotten

Author: Mark Fugitt

Narrator: Jim Denison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:05:06

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

You are not the first sheep to follow the Shepherd; and you will not be the last.

For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen?

Most books about Psalm 23 focus only on the interpretation of the author and many offer only perspectives of modern Christians. Lost Shepherd seeks to enrich the meaning of a passage many Christians believe is almost 'too familiar' to appreciate. This book is the perfect cure to break Psalm 23 out of the category of nostalgia and return it to relevance in our daily lives by looking far into the past.

Lost Shepherd allows listeners to stand with the sheep who have gone before, revealing a better look into the face of our Shepherd. Each chapter examines a line from the psalm and discusses how it has encouraged devotion over the centuries and continues to feed our souls today. Rediscover lost interpretations and consider how Psalm 23 can form your spirit, serving as a source of wisdom for a new generation of Christians.

Title: Europe Between the Oceans: 9000 BC-AD 1000

Author: Barry Cunliffe

Narrator: James Cameron Stewart

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18:48:29

Language: English

Release date: 11-28-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, World, Social Science

Summary:

A sensational, interdisciplinary work which entirely reorients our understanding of Europe from 10,000 BC to the time of the Vikings

In this magnificent book, distinguished archaeologist Barry Cunliffe reframes our entire conception of early European history, from prehistory through the ancient world to the medieval Viking period. Cunliffe views Europe not in terms of states and shifting political land boundaries but as a geographical niche particularly favored in facing many seas. These seas, and Europe's great transpeninsular rivers, ensured a rich diversity of natural resources while also encouraging the dynamic interaction of peoples across networks of communication and exchange. The development of these early Europeans is rooted in complex interplays, shifting balances, and geographic and demographic fluidity.

Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and history, Cunliffe has produced an interdisciplinary tour de force. His is a bold book of exceptional scholarship, erudite and engaging, and it heralds an entirely new understanding of Old Europe.

Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest's capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.
