Release date: 11-07-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy

Summary:

You don't always get another chance . . . unless you've just accidentally stolen some primordial essence from an eldritch horror that: (A) can bend time, and (B) was too busy eating another demigod to notice the loss.

Justin Thyme is trying to be a better man, using his newly-expanded powers to give humanity a chance in the Pan-Universal Gladiatorial Games. He's not just grinding out those levels, but he's also putting down murderers like nobody's business. Earth looks like it might have a shot at making it!

Except that someone isn't too happy with Justin's meddling-someone powerful and working from the shadows to tear down everything he's been building.

From strangely overgeared scalefolk assassins to suspicious accusations putting him out of commission at critical times, Justin soon finds out that a sharp sword and a thick shield won't be enough when you're playing in the big leagues. He'll need all the help he can get, even if that help comes from some pretty unsavory sources.

Will Justin stand by his morals, standing his ground in the face of adversity? Or will he decide that no compromise is too great when even his most egregious time-bending exploits aren't enough to save the day?

Title: Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal but You're Not Sure You Want To

Author: Kelly Cervantes

Narrator: Kelly Cervantes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:56:30

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Psychology, Death & Bereavement

Summary:

In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn't trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She's also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it.

Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them.

Normal Broken is divided into 'moments' of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time-such as:

- When you're not sure if you want to heal

- When you're facing anniversaries and other meaningful dates

- When you're ready to be okay

Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-23

Summary:

Bernardine Szold Fritz arrived in Shanghai in 1929 to marry her fourth husband. Only thirty-three years old, she found herself in a time and place like no other. Political intrigue and scandal lurked on every street corner. Art Deco cinemas showed the latest Hollywood flicks, while dancehall owners and jazz musicians turned Shanghai into Asia's top nightlife destination.

Yet from the night of their wedding, Bernardine's new husband did not live up to his promises. Instead of feeling sorry for herself or leaving Shanghai, Bernardine decided to make a place for herself. Like other Jewish women before her, she started a salon in her home, drawing famous names from the world of politics, the arts, and the intelligentsia. And when Hollywood stars Anna May Wong, Charlie Chaplin, and Claudette Colbert passed through Shanghai, Bernardine organized gatherings to introduce them to their Shanghai contemporaries.

When Bernardine's salon could not accommodate all who wanted to attend, she founded the International Arts Theater to produce avant-garde plays, ballets, lectures, and visual arts exhibits, often pushing audiences beyond their comfort zones. As civil war brewed and World War II soon followed, Bernardine's devotion to the arts and the people of Shanghai brought joy to the city just before it would change forever.

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Summary:

One bitterly cold February night at the remote MacKinnon Hotel, Remie Yorke begins her last shift at the front desk as the snow begins to fall. She has booked a one-way flight for the next day-and she's never coming back to Scotland. Or so she thinks.

As the storm quickly invades the surrounding Highlands, the roads become impassable and the phone lines fall dead. When the icy temperatures plummet further, an injured man stumbles into the hotel lobby from the blizzard. Police Constable Don Gaines has been in a car accident on the mountain road, and Remie welcomes him to safety. Gaines tells her that the other survivor of the accident is a dangerous prisoner who is now at-large; and Gaines is sure he is heading their way.

Then a second injured visitor arrives-also introducing himself as Constable Don Gaines. Both claim to want to protect Remie and the hotel's remaining guests. Both are convincing. Remie doesn't know who to trust.

But she must endure a deadly night before dawn breaks, and if she doesn't succumb to the cold, one of these men will surely kill her first. And she has no idea why they have chosen to come to the MacKinnon Hotel . . .

Title: Water for All: Global Solutions for a Changing Climate

Author: David Sedlak

Narrator: Gary Tiedemann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:13:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Politics, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Public Policy

Summary:

It is not your imagination: water crises are more frequent. Our twentieth-century systems for providing the water that grows food, sustains cities, and supports healthy ecosystems are failing to meet the demands of growing population and the challenges brought on by climate change. But the grim news reports-of empty reservoirs, withering crops, failing ecosystems-need not be cause for despair, argues award-winning author David Sedlak.

Communities on the front lines of previous water crises have pioneered approaches that are ready to be applied elsewhere. Some have resolved shortages by enhancing water-use efficiency, and others have used moments of crisis to resolve historic disagreements over water rights. Still others have employed treatment technologies that unlock vast quantities of untapped water resources.

Sedlak identifies the challenges that society faces, including ineffective policies and outdated infrastructure, and the myriad of tools at our disposal-from emerging technologies in desalination to innovations for recycling wastewater and capturing more of the water that falls on fields and cities. He offers an informed and hopeful approach for rethinking our assumptions about the way that water is managed. With this knowledge we can create a future with clean, abundant, and affordable water for all.
