Title: Gardening at the Margins: Convivial Labor, Community, and Resistance

Author: Gabriel R. Valle

Narrator: Lee Osorio

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:00:58

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science, Home & Garden

Summary:

Gardening at the Margins tells the remarkable story of a diverse group of neighbors working together to grow food and community in the Santa Clara Valley in California. Based on four years of deeply engaged ethnographic field research via a Participatory Action Research project with the people and ecosystems of La Mesa Verde home garden program, Gabriel R. Valle develops a theory of convivial labor to describe how the acts of care among the diverse gardeners-through growing, preparing, and eating food in one of the most income unequal places in the country-are powerful, complex acts of resistance.

The individuals featured in the book are imagining and building alternative worlds and futures amid the very real challenges they embody and endure. Climate change, for example, is forcing thousands of migrants to urban areas, which means recent immigrants' traditional environmental, nutritional, and healing knowledge will continue to be threatened by the pervasiveness of modernity and the homogenization of global capitalism. Moreover, once rural people migrate to urban areas, their ability to retain traditional foodways will remain difficult without spaces of autonomy. The stories in this book reveal how people create the physical space to grow food and the political space to enact autonomy to revive and restore agroecological knowledge needed for an uncertain future.

Shallow Cove Dimensions begins here with the prequel Eternally Hers

I detest Fate. All vampires crave more than the rich taste of blood is their beloved, but I'm betrayed. I'm left hopeful and hopeless. Against all attempts, my heart has been poisoned against me.

My belief is gone. A lie has been weaved for far too long and I fell into the web like so many others before me. I must ease the ache of time. No longer will I yearn for a fairytale. This torture comes to a stop. To find love, I follow tradition instead. A matching ceremony.

And she changes all I know. She stops the ache. Time is frozen. My ability to breathe is robbed and held in her clutches. My blood sings for her. How is she not my beloved?

No other will have my heart, but magic finds a way to obliterate it. A war steals everything from me. I'm left holding my newborn daughter as we fall into darkness. I will never be made a fool again. In life. In death. I write my own fate.

My love, my faith, my choices . . . eternally, are hers.

Summary:

When I arrived in Alaska, I thought I signed up for a simple IT job.

I didn't think I'd have to create a massive magic spell with my funky witchy powers-for a village of sea dragons, no less.

But here I am. Surrounded by my family's mortal enemies, trying to learn spells most five-year-olds can perform, and getting flustered over guys who turn into mythical beings.

The worst thing: I don't even mind that much. Because as terrifying as this new world is, these three men make it worthwhile.

With every look, every touch, every kiss, I get more addicted.

Until the moment my old life catches up with me, bringing dangers I never saw coming. Everything I've worked to build might shatter with one false move.

Unless I figure out how to be the witch I was meant to be.

Title: Double Agent Balloon: Dickie Metcalfe's Espionage Career for MI5 and the Nazis

Author: David Tremain

Narrator: Michael Langan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:41:12

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Europe, Military

Summary:

Dickie Metcalfe was not your typical secret agent, but he was larger than life in more ways than one. Unlike many other agents who were part of the Double Cross System during the Second World War, he did not defect; nor was he blackmailed into becoming a spy. Instead, using his father's connection with Sir Vernon Kell, the first director of MI5, Metcalfe volunteered his services.

Recently cashiered from his infantry regiment, he had an ulterior motive-by supplying MI5 with tidbits of information about weapons and arms deals in his newfound profession as an arms dealer, he hoped they would be able to help him get his commission reinstated. Metcalfe became BALLOON, a sub-agent of double agent TRICYCLE's Yugoslav spy ring.

Concurrent with his spying activities, he collaborated with the coinventor of the Bren gun to develop a new submachine gun for British forces. After the war, he was also a celebrated motor racing driver and continued to compete until shortly before his death. His success as a double-cross agent in the eyes of both his masters-British and German-is examined in this book, using official documents as a primary source.

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Romance, Paranormal

Summary:

You can't outrun your demons, but you sure as hell can give them a run for their money.

The monster that's tormented us from the shadows has finally stepped into the light, and he has his sights set on me. But discovering that my entire life has been orchestrated as a twisted form of training to help him literally unleash Hell on earth? Not exactly my idea of a romantic gesture.

There's an invisible noose around our necks, tightening more with every passing day, every saccharine smile Ash sends my way. He may have had centuries to put his plans in place, but he underestimates the depth of my spite, the lengths I'm willing to go to protect what's mine.

You don't die for the people you love, you live for them. And unfortunately for Ash, he forgot to take the most important variable into account when making his plans; me.

The thing even Nightmares fear.

Contains mature themes.
