Title: Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World

Author: Emma Marris

Narrator: Amy Landon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:39:35

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

From an acclaimed environmental writer, a groundbreaking and provocative new vision for our relationships with-and responsibilities toward-the planet's wild animals.

Protecting wild animals and preserving the environment are two ideals so seemingly compatible as to be almost inseparable. But in fact, between animal welfare and conservation science there exists a space of underexamined and unresolved tension: wildness itself. When is it right to capture or feed wild animals for the good of their species? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? Can hunting be ecological? Are any animals truly wild on a planet that humans have so thoroughly changed? No clear guidelines yet exist to help us resolve such questions.

Transporting listeners into the field with scientists tackling these profound challenges, Emma Marris tells the affecting and inspiring stories of animals around the globe-from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbies, rare Hawai'ian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. And she offers a companionable tour of the philosophical ideas that may steer our search for sustainability and justice in the non-human world. Revealing just how intertwined animal life and human life really are, Wild Souls will change the way we think about nature-and our place within it.

Title: Waterlog: A Swimmers Journey Through Britain

Author: Roger Deakin

Narrator: Mike Cooper

Length: 12:01:29

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Sports & Recreation, Health & Wellness, Other, Europe, Essays & Travelogues, Naturopathy & New Age

Summary:

A masterpiece of nature writing, Roger Deakin's Waterlog is a fascinating and inspiring journey into the aquatic world that surrounds us.

In an attempt to discover his island nation from a new perspective, Roger Deakin embarks from his home in Suffolk to swim Britain-the seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, pools, streams, lochs, moats, and quarries. Through the watery capillary network that braids itself throughout the country, Deakin immerses himself in the natural habitats of fish, amphibians, mammals, and birds. And as he navigates towns, private property, and sometimes dangerous waters and inclement weather, Deakin finds himself in precarious situations: he's detained by bailiffs in Winchester, intercepted by the coast guard at the mouth of a river, and mistaken for a dead body on a beach. The result of this surprising journey is a deep dive into modern Britain, especially its wild places.

With enchanting descriptions of natural landscapes, and a deep well of humanity, boundless humor, and unbridled joy, Deakin beckons us to wilder waters and inspires us to connect to the larger world in a most unexpected way. Thrilling, vivid, and lyrical, Waterlog is a fully immersive adventure-a remarkable personal quest, a bold assertion of the swimmer's right to roam, and an unforgettable celebration of the magic of water.

Title: Strange and Obscure Stories of World War II: Little-Known Tales about the Second World War

Author: Don Aines

Narrator: George Newbern

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:21:45

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Military

Summary:

Here are overlooked or forgotten tales from the world's greatest conflict. These are stories of courage, daring, and stupidity, some of which would challenge the imaginations of Hollywood scriptwriters.

Some of the many true tales that author Donald Aines recounts include:

- He would never be cast as a dashing war hero, but a cast member of The Addams Family television show volunteered for one of the most dangerous jobs the Army Air Force had to offer.

- The US Navy's deadliest submarine claimed an unexpected victim with its last torpedo, and led to one of the war's most harrowing tales of survival.

- Bob Hoover's escape from a German stalag would have made a great movie.

- British commando 'Mad Jack' Churchill earned his nickname, arming himself to fight a twentieth century war with a fifteenth century attitude and weapons.

Within the pages of Strange and Obscure Stories of World War II, the reality of war trumps fiction.

Title: Trauma and Grace, Second Edition: Theology in a Ruptured World

Author: Serene Jones

Narrator: Serene Jones

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:12:25

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

This substantive collection from noted scholar Serene Jones explores recent work in the field of trauma studies. Central to its overall theme is an investigation of how individual and collective violence affect ones capacity to remember, to act, and to love; how violence can challenge theological understandings of grace; and even how the traumatic experience of Jesus's death is remembered. Jones focuses on the long-term effects of collective violence on abuse survivors, war veterans, and marginalized populations, and the discreet ways in which grace and redemption may be exhibited in each context. At the heart of each essay are two deeply interrelated faith claims that are central to Jones's understanding of Christian theology: (1) We live in a world profoundly broken by violence, and (2) God loves this world and desires that suffering be met by words of hope, love, and grace. This timely and relevant cutting-edge book is the first trauma study to directly take into account theological issues.
