Title: Waging Peace: One Soldier's Story of Putting Love First

Author: Diana Oestreich

Narrator: Sarah Welborn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:59:59

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Summary:

Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her. But when she was commanded to run over an Iraqi child to keep her convoy rolling and keep her battle buddies safe, she was confronted with a choice she never thought she'd have to make.

Torn between God's call to love her enemy and her country's command to be willing to kill, Diana chose to wage peace in a place of war. For the remainder of her tour of duty, Diana sought to be a peacemaker-leading to an unlikely and beautiful friendship with an Iraqi family. A beautiful and gut-wrenching memoir, Waging Peace exposes the false divide between loving our country and living out our faith's call to love our enemies-whether we perceive our enemy as the neighbor with an opposing political viewpoint, the clerk wearing a head-covering, or the refugee from a war-torn country. By showing that us-versus-them is a false choice, this book will inspire each of us to choose love over fear.

Title: Devil Dogs: From Guadalcanal to the Shores of Japan

Author: Saul David

Narrator: Adam James

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17:57:59

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Military

Summary:

The 'Devil Dogs' of King Company, Third Battalion, 5th Marines-part of the legendary 1st Marine Division-were among the first American soldiers to take the offensive in World World II-and also the last.

They landed on the beaches of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands in August 1942-the first US ground offensive of the war-and were present when Okinawa, Japan's, most southerly prefecture finally fell to American troops in June 1945.

Ordinary men from very different backgrounds, and drawn from cities, towns, and settlements across America, the Devil Dogs were asked to do something extraordinary: take on the victorious Imperial Japanese Army-and defeat it. This is the story of how they did just that and, in the process, forged bonds of brotherhood that still survive today.

The company contained an unusually high number of talented writers, whose first-hand accounts and memoirs provide the color, emotion, and context for this extraordinary story. In Devil Dogs, award-winning historian Saul David sets the searing experience of the Devil Dogs into the broader context of the brutal war in the Pacific and does for the U.S. Marines what Band of Brothers did for the 101st Airborne.

Publisher: Tantor Media

Summary:

No groom? No Problem.

When her fiance tries to turn their wedding into a publicity stunt, Jenna ditches the nuptials-and the groom she shouldn't have been with in the first place-and skips straight to the honeymoon. The getaway driver, her ex-fiance's former business partner, Zach, is the perfect guy to help reshape her romantic newlywed itinerary into an anti-couple, anti-romance, anti-honeymoon adventure for two.

They trade couples yoga for kickboxing lessons. Five-star dining on the beach for pizza and beer at a dive bar. Forget couples massage-Jenna's getting that tattoo she's always wanted, and dares Zach to get one, too. And those naughty boudoir pics she took in place of romantic sunset snaps? Those aren't going in anyone's wedding album. Not that Zach will forget them anytime soon.

As each item on Jenna's anti-couples list is checked off, the anti-honeymoon with Zach feels more and more like the real thing, and she wishes the list was just a little bit longer . . . and even steamier.

Contains mature themes.

Title: Ghost Channels: Paranormal Reality Television and the Haunting of Twenty-First-Century America

Author: Amy Lawrence

Narrator: Kate Zane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

Through American history, often in times of crisis, there have been outbreaks of obsession with the paranormal. Between 2004 and 2019, over six dozen documentary-style series dealing with paranormal subject matter premiered on television in the United States. Combining the stylistic traits of horror with earnest accounts of what are claimed to be actual events, 'paranormal reality' incorporates subject matter formerly characterized as occult or supernatural into the established category of reality TV.

Despite the high number of programs and their evident popularity, paranormal reality television has to date received little critical attention. Ghost Channels provides an overview of the paranormal reality television genre, its development, and its place in television history. Conducting in-depth analyses of over thirty paranormal television series, author Amy Lawrence suggests these programs reveal much about Americans' contemporary fears.

Ridiculed by nearly everyone, paranormal reality TV shows-with their psychics, ghost hunters, and haunted houses-provide unique insights into contemporary American culture. Half-horror, half-documentary realism, these shows expose deep-seated questions about class, race, gender, the value of technology, the failure of institutions, and what it means to be American in the twenty-first century.

Summary:

The last thing he wanted was to fall for a witch . . .

Veterinarian Kat Ramsey hasn't a clue that she's a witch. Sure, she can read minds, and there's the whole 'dimension-hopping' issue that she can't quite control, but Kat is determined to keep things normal. That is, until she accidentally hops into the Otherworld, and runs smack into Matthew Ryan-the seriously hot one-night stand from years ago who shoved her out of his dorm. Naked.

And there's the tiny matter of the curse she gave him.

May you never find satisfaction with another woman. Billionaire and former druid Matthew Ryan hasn't forgotten the curse, or the witch who gave it to him. Kat's unexpected return means the curse will finally be broken. Unfortunately, his libido has other ideas-like how to get her back into his bed one last time. But far more worrying is his suspicion that Kat is the seventh Pleiades witch. Because while he's turned his back on his druidic ways, he's still bound to protect the woman who made his life hell . . .

Title: Paul Through Mediterranean Eyes: Cultural Studies in 1 Corinthians

Author: Kenneth E. Bailey

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18:40:07

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Biblical Studies

Summary:

Paul was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, steeped in the learning of his people.

But he was also a Roman citizen who widely traveled the Mediterranean basin, and was very knowledgeable of the dominant Greek and Roman culture of his day. These two mighty rivers of influence converge in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.

With razor-sharp attention to the text, Kenneth Bailey examines the cultural milieu and rhetorical strategies that shaped this pivotal epistle. He discovers the deep layers of the Hebraic prophetic tradition informing Paul's writing, linking the Apostle with the great prophets of the Old Testament.

Throughout, Bailey employs his expert knowledge of Near Eastern and Mediterranean culture to deliver to listeners a new understanding of Paul and his world. Familiar passages take on a new hue as they are stripped of standard Western interpretations and rendered back into their ancient setting.

Title: Ivan Pavlov: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Daniel P. Todes

Narrator: Gary Tiedemann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:36:51

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Science & Technology, History & Culture

Summary:

Daniel P. Todes provides concise introduction to the life and science of the great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Todes weaves together Pavlov's life, values, context, and science by focusing upon his quest to understand the psyche and the 'torments of our consciousness.'

This introduction follows the origins and maturation of Pavlov's quest from his early life in a priestly family in provincial Riazan, to his struggles and late professional success in the glittering capital of St. Petersburg, through the cataclysmic destruction of his world during the Bolshevik seizure of power and civil war of 1917-1921, to the rebuilding of his life in his 70s as a 'prosperous dissident' during the Leninist 1920s, and his success and personal torments in 1929-1936 during the industrialization, cultural revolution, and terror of Stalin times.

Beyond a basic biography, Todes devotes particular attention to Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning research on digestion (1891-1903) and his iconic studies of conditional reflexes and higher nervous activity (1903-1936), as well as his experiments with dogs. Todes shows that Pavlov was not a behaviorist, did not use a bell, and was uninterested in training dogs. The Russian scientist sought to explain not merely external behaviors, but the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans.
