Summary:

The morning of her niece’s wedding, Margo Just drinks a double martini and contemplates the many mistakes she’s made in her fifty-odd years of life. Spending three decades in love with a wonderful but unattainable man is pretty high up on her list of missteps, as is a long line of unsuccessful love affairs accompanied by a seemingly endless supply of delicious cocktails.

When the young bride flees—taking with her a family heirloom and leaving behind six hundred bewildered guests—her mother offers Margo fifty grand to retrieve her spoiled brat of a daughter and the invaluable property she stole. So, together with the bride’s jilted and justifiably crabby fiancé, Margo sets out in a borrowed 1955 red MG on a cross-country chase. Along the way, none of what she discovers will be quite what she expected. But it might be exactly what she’s been seeking all along.

From acclaimed humor writer Jane Lotter comes this madcap, laugh-out-loud adventure, The Bette Davis Club.

Revised edition: This edition of The Bette Davis Club includes editorial revisions.

Title: 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

Author: Charles C. Mann

Narrator: Darrell Dennis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:17:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-16

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: History, North America

Summary:

A groundbreaking study that radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans in 1492.

Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus’s landing had crossed the Bering Strait twelve thousand years ago; existed mainly in small, nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas was, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last thirty years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.

In a book that startles and persuades, Mann reveals how a new generation of researchers equipped with novel scientific techniques came to previously unheard-of conclusions. Among them:

• In 1491 there were probably more people living in the Americas than in Europe.

• Certain cities–such as Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital–were far greater in population than any contemporary European city. Furthermore, Tenochtitlán, unlike any capital in Europe at that time, had running water, beautiful botanical gardens, and immaculately clean streets.

• The earliest cities in the Western Hemisphere were thriving before the Egyptians built the great pyramids.

• Pre-Columbian Indians in Mexico developed corn by a breeding process so sophisticated that the journal Science recently described it as “man’s first, and perhaps the greatest, feat of genetic engineering.”

• Amazonian Indians learned how to farm the rain forest without destroying it–a process scientists are studying today in the hope of regaining this lost knowledge.

• Native Americans transformed their land so completely that Europeans arrived in a hemisphere already massively “landscaped” by human beings.

Mann sheds clarifying light on the methods used to arrive at these new visions of the pre-Columbian Americas and how they have affected our understanding of our history and our thinking about the environment. His book is an exciting and learned account of scientific inquiry and revelation.

Summary:

This collection of fantasy short stories are from the three winners of Remastered Words 2016 audio anthology, including a tale from one of our judges, Adrian Tchaikovsky with 'The Groppler's Harvest' which was first published in the British Fantasy Society's 2013 anthology. Listen as our bards regale you with treacherous journeys and fables worthy of the smallest campfire to the most renowned taverns, where sometimes only the ultimate price is enough. So charge your tankards, goblets and mugs, sit back and enjoy a fabled journey or two.

Here's what some of our judges had to say:

"A villain thrust into the role of hero and warriors forced to face the ultimate consequences of their actions. Remastered Words is an anthology full of surprises, twists, and imaginative stories." - Sebastien de Castell

"Unsung was marvellous fun, with a terribly engaging character who I really hope effects an amazing last minute escape after the last line. The sort of story that reminds me of why I love fantasy." - LM Myles

"The Weight on your Shoulder was genuinely creepy and visceral; a nice, punchy story written with elegant, spare prose. I'm generally all about the positive with spiders and the like but this was really good." - Adrian Tchaikovsky

"There is a way of crafting characters where the author offers just enough of the right words to frame the essence and invites the reader to fill in the rest. The author of A God's Mercy demonstrated that talent and it was a delight. The characters were authentic and their circumstances served beautifully to illuminate them. The pacing was excellent, a languid tension punctuated with moments that eloquently added to the story rather than distracted. Really enjoyed this one." - Dave Robison, Founder & Host of The Roundtable Podcast

Summary:

In this wild battering ram of a novel, which was originally published to vast controversy in 1965, Norman Mailer creates a character who might be a fictional precursor of the philosopher-killer he would later profile in The Executioner’s Song.

One part Nietzsche, one part de Sade, and one part Charlie Parker, An American Dream grabs the reader by the throat and refuses to let go.
