Title: Shunned: How I Lost My Religion and Found Myself

Author: Linda A. Curtis

Narrator: Emily Ellet

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-20

Summary:

Linda Curtis was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and is an unquestioning true believer who has knocked on doors from the time she was nine years old. Like other Witnesses, she has been discouraged from pursuing a career, higher education, or even voting, and her friendships are limited to the Witness community.

Then one day, at age thirty-three, she knocks on a door-and a coworker she deeply respects answers the door. To their mutual consternation she launches into her usual spiel, but this time, for the first time ever, the message sounds hollow. In the months that follow, Curtis tries hard to overcome the doubts that spring from that doorstep encounter, knowing they could upend her 'safe' existence. But ultimately, unable to reconcile her incredulity, she leaves her religion and divorces her Witness husband-a choice for which she is shunned by the entire community, including all members of her immediate family.

Shunned follows Linda as she steps into a world she was taught to fear and discovers what is possible when we stay true to our hearts, even when it means disappointing those we love.

Title: Reading Backwards

Author: John Crowley

Narrator: Graham Rowat

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15:06:58

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies

Summary:

Reading Backwards opens with the autobiographical 'My Life in the Theater,' a memoir of the younger Crowley's earliest ambitions, and closes with the moving and memorable 'Practicing the Arts of Peace.' In between, the author offers us more than thirty carefully crafted essays, each one notable for its insight, intelligence, and typically graceful prose.

The opening section, A Voice from the Easy Chair, reflects Crowley's tenure as Easy Chair columnist for Harper's Magazine. Subjects include life under the once omni-present threat of the Selective Service Board, the enduring personal importance of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and thoughts on what it means to be truly well read. The second section, Fictional Voices, is filled with acute commentary on a wide range of books and writers, among them SF masters such as Paul Park, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Thomas Disch; the important, if neglected, historical novelist David Stacton (a model for the fictional Ffellowes Kraft of the gypt novels); classic science fiction novels of the 1950s, and much, much more. The final section, Looking Outward, Looking In, ranges freely across a wide variety of subjects and ideas, such as UFO literature, the utopian architecture of Norman Bel Geddes, the life and career of renowned theosophist Helena Blavatsky, and the nature of time.

Title: Killer High: A History of War in Six Drugs

Author: Peter Andreas

Narrator: Shawn Compton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:08:26

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases, World, Military

Summary:

In his path-breaking Killer High, Peter Andreas shows how six psychoactive drugs-ranging from old to relatively new, mild to potent, licit to illicit, natural to synthetic-have proven to be particularly important war ingredients. This sweeping history tells the story of war from antiquity to the modern age through the lens of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, opium, amphetamines, and cocaine.

Beer and wine drenched ancient and medieval battlefields, and the distilling revolution lubricated the conquest and ethnic cleansing of the New World. Tobacco became globalized through soldiering, with soldiers hooked on smoking and governments hooked on taxing it. Caffeine and opium fueled imperial expansion and warfare. The commercialization of amphetamines in the twentieth century energized soldiers to fight harder, longer, and faster, while cocaine stimulated an increasingly militarized drug war that produced casualty numbers surpassing most civil wars. As Andreas demonstrates, armed conflict has become progressively more drugged with the introduction, mass production, and global spread of mind-altering substances. As a result, we cannot understand the history of war without including drugs, and we similarly cannot understand the history of drugs without including war.
