Title: For F*ck's Sake: Why Swearing is Shocking, Rude, and Fun

Author: Rebecca Roache

Narrator: Polly Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:36:51

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Language Instruction, Language Arts, Philosophy

Summary:

Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it?

In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken-and usually unconscious-inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock. Swearing is unique among etiquette breaches in that it is designed to convey disrespect-swearing packs more of a punch than failing to say 'please.'

Roache helps listeners understand how swearing works, celebrating its power as a communicative tool and source of humor while also taking a close and serious look at specific words-those directed at women and women's bodies, for example-that function in particular, complex ways. She also examines the often-hypocritical ways swearing can be punished or censored.

Finally, Roache helps listeners appreciate that swearing isn't always bad. When it's not used offensively, it can foster social intimacy, can help people withstand pain, and might even help us curb our violent impulses.

Title: Sword in the Tree

Author: Clyde Robert Bulla

Narrator: Jonathan Johns

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:08:04

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Kids, General, Historical, Fairy Tales & Folklore

Summary:

Best-selling author Clyde Robert Bulla's classic, finely-crafted Arthurian tale with its sword fights, dark and dangerous dungeon, roguish knaves, action-packed showdowns and tales of dangerous feats, will appeal to emerging listeners who are ready for chapter books and reluctant tween listeners alike.

In the days of King Arthur there stood a mighty oak tree within the walls of a castle. Peace reigned in the castle until the fearsome night when Lionel, long-lost brother of Lord Weldon, returned to cause trouble and unhappiness.

It was then that Shan, the son of Lord Weldon, took on the duties of a knight and hid the sword in the hollow of the giant oak. The days that followed were filled with adventures that tried the courage of the young boy.

Shan was surprised by bearded robbers in the woods. He met noble knights in plumed helmets, and eventually he even made a trip to high-towered Camelot. His story is filled with the pageantry and color of England in King Arthur's time. It creates a vivid picture of the Knights of the Round Table and the wisdom of King Arthur himself.

Title: Restoring Eden: Unearthing the Agribusiness Secret That Poisoned My Farming Community

Author: Elizabeth D. Hilborn

Narrator: Marnye Young

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:19:12

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Social Science

Summary:

All spring, Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn watched as her family fruit farm of many years became increasingly diminished, suffering from a lack of bees.

The plentiful wildlife, so abundant just weeks before, was gone. Everything was still, silent.

As an environmental scientist trained to investigate disease outbreaks, she rose to the challenge. Despite facing headwinds from skeptical neighbors, environmental experts, and agricultural consultants, she'd assembled information.

The chemicals found in her water samples showed beyond any doubt that not only her farm, but her greater farming community, was at risk from toxic chemicals that traveled with rain water over the land and deep within the soil.

Even as a scientist, she'd been unaware of the risks to life from some common agricultural chemicals. Her goal was to protect her farm and the animals who lived there.

But first she had to convince her rural neighbors of the risk to their way of life, too.

A lyrical celebration of nature by a passionate citizen scientist who felt called to advocate for the land, earth, and creatures who don't have a voice, Restoring Eden ultimately offers hope that citizens can create change, that reform is possible.
