Title: Finding the Raga: An Improvisation on Indian Music

Author: Amit Chaudhuri

Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:34:53

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

Amit Chaudhuri, novelist, critic, and essayist, is also a musician, trained in the Indian classical vocal tradition but equally fluent as a guitarist and singer in the American folk music style, who has recorded his experimental compositions extensively and performed around the world. A turning point in his life took place when, as a lonely teenager living in a high-rise in Bombay, far from his family's native Calcutta, he began, contrary to all his prior inclinations, to study Indian classical music. Finding the Raga chronicles that transformation and how it has continued to affect and transform not only how Chaudhuri listens to and makes music but how he listens to and thinks about the world at large. Offering a highly personal introduction to Indian music, the book is also a meditation on the differences between Indian and Western music and art-making as well as the ways they converge in a modernism that Chaudhuri reframes not as a twentieth-century Western art movement but as a fundamental mode of aesthetic response, at once immemorial and extraterritorial. Finding the Raga combines memoir, practical and cultural criticism, and philosophical reflection with the same individuality and flair that Chaudhuri demonstrates throughout a uniquely wide-ranging, challenging, and enthralling body of work.

Title: Citizen-Surgeon: A Memoir

Author: Paul Bryan Roach

Narrator: Emmett Schrader

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:04:41

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Military

Summary:

Citizen-Surgeon takes listeners into the otherwise inaccessible, remote, and intense world of life and surgery within a combat zone.

In the backdrop of the US-led war in Afghanistan, amidst a defining US Marine Corps offensive to conquer the Marjah region of Helmand Province, [then] US Navy Commander Paul Roach and his company-mates assemble and congeal as a medical unit in Southern California, transport from the United States to their tents in Dasht-e-Margo (the Desert of Death) in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, and professionally execute their role as one of the few medical and surgical companies supporting this major offensive.

In the course of the audiobooks events the author undergoes a transformation from being a physician in a military uniform into a military officer that happens to be a physician. The crucible effecting this change is the military offensive and his role within it. Shocking and intense, an array of critical injuries and their treatments are described in rich language that anyone, medical or nonmedical alike, can absorb. Death also pervades the atmosphere; intrusive, unyielding, and painful, its battlefield familiarity and personal impact is resisted, suffered, and ultimately accepted.

Citizen-Surgeon is an intimate portrayal, a chronicle, and a celebration of friendship, love, success and failure, contemporary war, and military medicine. It is an account of a slice of reality that few people are privileged to know. It reflects deeply upon the nature of personal choice and how that choice puts us where we are in life, even if we did not fully see in advance how the choice would change us.

Citizen-Surgeon also explores a variant of post-traumatic stress particular to medical assets, and it reveals one mans chess match against it. It is a must-listen for those with a specific interest in contemporary military medicine and for those with broader, essentially human interests in individual growth, adventure, and self-actualization.

Authors Note: The Military Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan earned the Presidential Unit Citation for their efforts. This is one of only two such awards that the United States Marine Corps has received since the Persian Gulf, and it is the only Presidential Unit Citation given to any unit during the entire Afghan war. It is the highest unit commendation award that can be given.

Title: Choice Theory: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Michael Allingham

Narrator: Mike Cooper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:41:42

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

We make choices all the time-about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy?

This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts. It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources.

Title: Birds of Opulence

Author: Crystal Wilkinson

Narrator: Allyson Johnson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:50:30

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Black Literature, Family Life

Summary:

From the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of Blackberries, Blackberries and Water Street comes an astonishing new novel. A lyrical exploration of love and loss, The Birds of Opulence centers on several generations of women in a bucolic southern black township as they live with and sometimes surrender to madness.

The Goode-Brown family, led by matriarch and pillar of the community Minnie Mae, is plagued by old secrets and embarrassment over mental illness and illegitimacy. Meanwhile, single mother Francine Clark is haunted by her dead, lightning-struck husband and forced to fight against both the moral judgment of the community and her own rebellious daughter, Mona. The residents of Opulence struggle with vexing relationships to the land, to one another, and to their own sexuality. As the members of the youngest generation watch their mothers and grandmothers pass away, they live with the fear of going mad themselves and must fight to survive.

Crystal Wilkinson offers up Opulence and its people in lush, poetic detail. It is a world of magic, conjuring, signs, and spells, but also of harsh realities that only love-and love that's handed down-can conquer. At once tragic and hopeful, this captivating novel is a story about another time, rendered for our own.
