Publisher's Summary:

When the Freeman family decided to restore a damaged creek in Washington's Olympic Peninsula - to transform it from a drainage ditch into a stream that could again nurture salmon - they knew the task would be formidable and the rewards plentiful.

In Saving Tarboo Creek, Scott Freeman artfully blends his family's story with powerful universal lessons about how we can all live more constructive, fulfilling, and natural lives by engaging with the land rather than exploiting it. Equal parts heartfelt and empowering, this book explores how we can all make a difference one choice at a time.

Title: The Story of Mary MacLane

Author: Mary MacLane

Narrator: Candle Swift

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-20-17

Publisher: Audioliterature

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

From the beginning, MacLane's writing was characterized by a direct, fiery, highly individualistic style. At the age of 19 in 1901, MacLane wrote her first book, titled by its author "I Await the Devil's Coming" but changed by its publishers to "The Story of Mary MacLane". It sold 100,000 copies in the first month and was powerfully influential on young women. Some critics have suggested that even by today's standards, MacLane's writing is raw, honest, unflinching, self-aware, sensual, and extreme. She wrote openly about egoism and her own self-love, about sexual attraction and love for other women, and even about her desire to marry the Devil.

Artist Bio Author: Mary MacLane (1881-1929) was a controversial Canadian-born American writer whose frank memoirs helped usher in the confessional style of autobiographical writing. MacLane was known as the "Wild Woman of Butte".

Great Insight into Turn-of-the-Century Teen Mind

Such a strange book, in the sense that the subject is a strange girl. But this was a wonderful look into the mind of an angsty teenager stuck in a life that didn't make sense to her. It just reminded me that being a teenager is the same experience today as it was yesterday and yesteryear. Good research book for writing characters in this time period.

fascinating lady

Mary Maclane was an emo chick WAY before it was cool. This, to me, is the kind of book that it is hard to be ambivalent about. I enjoyed her book on many levels. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in people who were ahead of their time and suffered emotionally because of it.

A waste of time

Perhaps I was too hasty, but I did give it a decent try, hoping the book would redeem itself. The author seemed to agonize at length about her uninteresting life that was going nowhere. Seemed like eventually there wuld have been a story there, but I got tired of reading how boring her life was that I finally gave up and deleted the book from my Kindle.

Classic yet cutting edge

As Mary MacLane's (re)publisher, it might seem to be consorting with the competition, but as with Melville House's rediscovery of Mary MacLane withI Await the Devil's Coming (Neversink), we're delighted that MacLane's writing is a happening thing once more. There's room for all kinds of interpretation in Mary MacLane's world - and room for lots of publishers and new readers. Dr. Julia Watson has studied MacLane's work closely and her understanding is thorough. An excellent introduction to a writer just beginning to gain her due.

Dull

Like reading the ratings of a spoiled and selfish débutante. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know. I seldom find a book with no redeeming quality.

Title: Jonestown Survivor: An Insider's Look

Author: Laura Johnston Kohl

Narrator: Sarah Van Sweden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-27-17

Publisher: Laura Johnston Kohl

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Laura Johnston Kohl was born in Washington, D.C., and was a teen activist working to integrate public facilities in the Washington, D.C., area. She actively fought for civil rights and free speech, and against the Vietnam War throughout the 1960s. She was devastated by the murders of her leaders in the 1960s - John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers. She worked with the Black Panthers and attended Woodstock. After trying to effect change single-handedly, she found she needed more hands. She joined Peoples Temple in 1970, living and working in the progressive religious movement in both California and Guyana. A fluke saved her from the mass murders and suicides on November 18, 1978, when 913 of her beloved friends died in Jonestown.

Soon after this, Synanon, a residential community, helped her gradually affirm life. She lived in Synanon for the next decade. In 1991, she got to work, finished her studies, and became a public school teacher. On the 20th anniversary of the deaths of her wonderful friends and adopted family in Jonestown, she looked up fellow survivors of the Jonestown tragedy. Since then, they have worked to put the jigsaw puzzle together that was Peoples Temple. Her perspective has evolved as new facts have cleared up mysteries and she has had time to reflect. Her mission continues to be to acknowledge, write about, and speak about why the members joined Peoples Temple, why they went to Guyana, and who they were.

She lives with her family in San Diego. She is working on her second book, Collateral Damage, about the surviving victims of the Jonestown catastrophe - to be published in 2018.

A different take on Jim Jones and the People's Temple

I have read several books on this subject and I decided to read one more. It was an interesting read, and well written. Laura Johnston Kohl was a member of this cult and so we had an insiders point of view. But she seems to have a different point of view on life at Jonestown. She was a little defensive about the negativity surrounding Jim Jones and his followers. She believes that the members were not brainwashed and they willingly laid down their life for the cause. I was very surprised that she didn't include much about Jim Jones drug use or mental illness. And she portrayed life there as a good life. She happened to be in Georgetown when the suicides took place and she did give some insight about she and fellow survivors coming to terms with what had happened, and what it took to move on with their lives.

Don't Bother

Ms. Kohl has written of her experiences as a member of the Peoples Temple and Synanon; however, there is nothing new to be learned about either organization in this book. What is surprising about this book as compared to books and articles written by other survivors is how vastly different Ms. Kohl's memories are. Indeed, Ms. Kohl obviously considers her years with Peoples Temple and Synanon to have been happy and fulfilling, and the whole point of the book seems to be presenting both Peoples Temple and Synanon in a highly favorable light. Even allowing for the fact that Ms. Kohl may simply have chosen to concentrate on the positive rather than the negative, one wonders how her recollections are poles apart from other survivors.

A Good, Honest Read

A perspective of the Jonestown ordeal you don't often hear.

But within a year, the small-town stage of Williston meteorically and unexpectedly shoots to world fame after the discovery of rich oil reserves far beneath the picturesque farmland.

Not so much of Greek myths as of Scottish poets......

This is a well written and well organized memoir with a touch of humor and

This is a well written and well organized memoir with a touch of humor and

a bit much pathos, but makes for a good read and one would hope some much needed review of the governing structure of North Dakota higher education. Nadolny would have us (by the cover) believe he is Sisyphus, and though he is, by any reasoning, a good and honorable man there is no approachment to be noted of the mythological. He makes the usual, and by now redundant, observations of the perceived travails of those who are "not one of us" in North Dakota, but strikes the mother lode when discussing the detachment, ineptness, and seemingly "out of my depth" nature of the folks who have recently been on the governing bodies of the North Dakota higher ecucation system. This short book should be required reading as well as Robert Burns poem where he suggests that we all need the gift to see ourselves "as others see us".

I bought this book knowing a bit the background and context of what was happening during Dr. Nadolny's tenure. However, the background and set up was great, establishing the mise-en-scène of life in Williston and indeed North Dakota. It goes deep into what has happened and how, from the perspective of an overworked, besieged college president trying to do whats right in the endless parade of wackiness that's the Oil Patch. I loved hearing Dr. Nadolny's perspective and highly recommend if you fall into one or more of the following categories:

-Lived in or currently live in North Dakota

-Lived in or currently live in the neighboring states/provinces and wondered what happened in North Dakota circa 2009-2016

-Are a higher education professional of any ilk

-Like witty writing

I honestly couldn't put down the book and got through it rather quickly (that, and a few slow midshifts helped, too lol). Witty, sharp writing, informative excerpts and wonderfully selected quotes helped paint the picture and keep the narrative flowing without being overburdened.

I'd say read it, but if you haven't figured that out by now, I'm not overly sure of your command of the English language. Either way, give this a chance, and relive the glory days of when North Dakota had more money than sense.

Excellent read by Dr Nadolny

New appreciation for what he went through in Williston during the oil boom/bust.
