Title: Guest Cat

Author: Takashi Hiraide

Narrator: David Shih

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:21:58

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-16

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:

A bestseller in France and winner of Japan's Kiyama Shohei Literary Award, The Guest Cat, by the acclaimed poet Takashi Hiraide, is a subtly moving and exceptionally beautiful novel about the transient nature of life and idiosyncratic but deeply felt ways of living. A couple in their thirties live in a small rented cottage in a quiet part of Tokyo; they work at home, freelance copy-editing; they no longer have very much to say to one another. But one day a cat invites itself into their small kitchen. It leaves, but the next day comes again, and then again and again. Soon they are buying treats for the cat and enjoying talks about the animal and all its little ways. Life suddenly seems to have more promise for the husband and wife-the days have more light and color. The novel brims with new small joys and many moments of staggering poetic beauty, but then something happens . . .

As Kenzaburo Oe has remarked, Takashi Hiraide's work 'really shines.' His poetry, which is remarkably cross-hatched with beauty, has been acclaimed here for 'its seemingly endless string of shape-shifting objects and experiences,whose splintering effect is enacted via a unique combination of speed and minutiae.'

Title: Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion

Author: Sara Miles

Narrator: Nicole Poole

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:53:47

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-16

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Religious & Inspirational

Summary:

Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life as a restaurant cook and a writer. Then early one winter morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. 'I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian,' she writes, 'or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut.' But she ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed.

A lesbian left-wing journalist who covered revolutions around the world, Miles was not the woman her friends expected to see suddenly praising Jesus. She was certainly not the kind of person the government had in mind to run a 'faith-based charity.' Religion for her was not about angels or good behavior or piety; it was about real hunger, real food, and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church's altar to be given away. The first food pantry she established provided hundreds of poor, elderly, sick, deranged, and marginalized people with lifesaving food and a sense of belonging. Within a few years, the loaves had multiplied, and she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen more pantries.

Title: Understanding the Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship

Author: Christine Ann Lawson

Narrator: Heather Auden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:49:55

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-16

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

The first love in our lives is our mother. Recognizing her face, her voice, the meaning of her moods, and her facial expressions is crucial to survival. In this book, Dr. Christine Ann Lawson vividly describes how mothers who suffer from borderline personality disorder produce children who may flounder in life even as adults, futilely struggling to reach the safety of a parental harbor, unable to recognize that their borderline parent lacks a pier, or even a discernible shore.

Four character profiles describe different symptom clusters that include the waif mother, the hermit mother, the queen mother, and the witch. Children of borderlines are at risk for developing this complex and devastating personality disorder themselves. Dr. Lawson's recommendations for prevention include empathic understanding of the borderline mother and early intervention with her children to ground them in reality.

Addressing the adult children of borderlines and the therapists who work with them, Dr. Lawson shows how to care for the waif without rescuing her, to attend to the hermit without feeding her fear, to love the queen without becoming her subject, and to live with the witch without becoming her victim.

Title: Why Are We at War?

Author: Norman Mailer

Narrator: Norman Mailer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:53:16

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-16

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Politics, Political Advocacy

Summary:

Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war. Why Are We at War? returns Mailer to the gravity of the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send soldiers there to die. First published in the early days of the Iraq War, Why Are We at War? is an explosive argument about the American quest for empire that still carries weight today. Scrutinizing the Bush administration’s words and actions, Mailer unleashes his trademark moral rigor: “Because democracy is noble, it is always endangered.... To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to encourage more fascism at home and abroad.”

Being a superhero should be fun. After all, a world of super powers is a world where amazonian juggernauts made of candy battle guys in spandex that drive talking cars.

Except maybe it's the spider who's in charge after all . . .

Title: If Our Bodies Could Talk: A Guide to Operating and Maintaining a Human Body

Author: James Hamblin

Narrator: James Hamblin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:02:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-16

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Health & Wellness, Instructional & How To, Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry

Summary:

'If you want to understand the strange workings of the human body, and the future of medicine, you must read this illuminating, engaging book.' —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene

In 2014, James Hamblin launched a series of videos for The Atlantic called 'If Our Bodies Could Talk.'  With it, the doctor-turned-journalist established himself as a seriously entertaining authority in the field of health. Now, in illuminating and genuinely funny prose, Hamblin explores the human stories behind health questions that never seem to go away—and which tend to be mischaracterized and oversimplified by marketing and news media.  He covers topics such as sleep, aging, diet, and much more:

 

• Can I “boost” my immune system?

• Does caffeine make me live longer?

• Do we still not know if cell phones cause cancer?

• How much sleep do I actually need?

• Is there any harm in taking a multivitamin?

• Is life long enough?

 

In considering these questions, Hamblin draws from his own medical training as well from hundreds of interviews with distinguished scientists and medical practitioners.  He translates the (traditionally boring) textbook of human anatomy and physiology into accessible, engaging, socially contextualized, up-to-the-moment answers. They offer clarity, examine the limits of our certainty, and ultimately help readers worry less about things that don’t really matter.

If Our Bodies Could Talk is a comprehensive, illustrated guide that entertains and educates in equal doses.
