Title: Rangers, Scouts, and Raiders: Origin, Organization, and Operations of Selected Special Operations Forces

Author: Michael F. Dilley

Narrator: Eric Jason Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:24:16

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

Throughout history there has always been a need, in military forces, for special units. In the past, these units have usually been ad hoc formations that were disbanded after their mission was complete. It has only been since the early 1950s that such units have remained active, but even in recent times special purpose, special mission units have been organized and used for a period of time or for a specific mission and then either deactivated or replaced by other units.

This unique approach to the history of American special forces examines their development through a number of operations, ranging from the French and Indian War in the eighteenth century through to the Vietnam War. From the Son Tay raid to the Force at la Difensa and Rogers' Rangers, the operations are diverse in both organization and purpose, but all contributed to the overall mission of their theater or larger organization, thus proving the continuing need for special units throughout history and even today.

On this journey, the couple that traveled from New York to North Dakota in Breakfast with Buddha, Seattle to North Dakota in Lunch with Buddha, and North Dakota to Las Vegas in Dinner with Buddha heads down the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to points south.

Along the way, they meet an array of intriguing characters, tour some famous American sights, and enjoy the kinds of conversations about spirituality that have engrossed hundreds of thousands of listeners from China to Turkey to Croatia, and throughout the United States.

Title: When Rock Met Disco: The Story of How The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, KISS, Queen, Blondie and More Got Their Groove On in the Me Decade

Author: Steven Blush

Narrator: Paul Bellantoni

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:11:53

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Art & Music

Summary:

Disco began as a gay, black, and brown underground New York City party music scene, which alone was enough to ward off most rockers. The difference between rock and disco was as sociological as it was aesthetic.

At its best, disco was galvanizing and affirmative. Its hypnotic power to uplift a broad spectrum of the populace made it the ubiquitous music of the late '70s. Disco was a primal and gaudy fanfare for the apocalypse, a rage for exhibitionism, free of moralizing.

1978 was the apex of the record industry. Rock music, commercially and artistically, had never been more successful. At the same time, disco was responsible for roughly 40% of the records on Billboard's Hot 100, thanks to the largest-selling soundtrack of all time in Saturday Night Fever.

For all its apparent excesses and ritual zealotry, disco was a conservative realm, with obsolete rules like formal dress code and dance floor etiquette.

Rock stars who 'went disco' crossed a musical rubicon and forever smashed cultural conformity. The ongoing dance-rock phenomenon demonstrates the impact of this unique place and time.

The disco crossover forever changed rock.

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, General, Parenting

Summary:

A hopeful memoir about adapting when life doesn't go to plan, redefining family, and creating your own path.

One afternoon, Emma Nadler gets a call from her daughter's doctor that changes her life forever. Faced with the realities of raising a child with a rare genetic condition, Nadler must confront her preconceptions of motherhood and her perfectionistic beliefs.

Nadler-who also happens to be a psychotherapist-offers a rare window into the unconventional ways she and her family adapt to their improbable path. Every relationship in her life-with herself, her husband, children, friends, and even clients-is reimagined as she navigates the heartbreak and hilarity of her daily life.

As she and her husband join the 53 million caregivers in the US, Nadler wrestles to belong in a society that devalues both caregivers and people with disabilities. She challenges the scripts that mothers should be martyrs, or that self-sacrifice is a necessary component of love. Nadler illustrates the complexity, grief, and joy of living an unexpected life, all with the wisdom of a therapist, the heart of a loving parent, and the ingenuity of a queer woman who refuses to be shackled by cultural expectations.

Title: Secret of the Bethlehem Shepherds

Author: Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Narrator: Dwight Longenecker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:47:40

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Biblical Studies

Summary:

St. Luke's story of 'shepherds in the fields keeping watch over their flocks by night' echoes in the hearts and minds of millions who have heard the story told and retold year after year.

Like most well-loved tales, the account of the shepherds has grown and developed over the ages. Extra traditions have attached themselves to it. Charming characters and details have become part of the story. Beautiful preaching points have illuminated the tale and unlocked the story's deeper meanings. Many of these 'extras,' however, were conditioned by later cultural assumptions and colored by devotions removed from historical reality.

What are the true circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ? What was Bethlehem like at the time of Jesus' birth? How did Joseph and Mary meet, and why did they travel to Bethlehem? Who were the shepherds, and why were they so important?

After completing The Mystery of the Magi-his study of the wise men-Fr. Dwight Longenecker took a sabbatical in Jerusalem to study the ancient texts and the geography, history, politics, and culture. He added his own firsthand visit to present-day Bethlehem shepherds in order to unlock 'the secret of the Bethlehem shepherds.'

Title: When Cimarron Meant Wild: The Maxwell Land Grant Conflict in New Mexico and Colorado

Author: David L. Caffey

Narrator: Asa Siegel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:05:07

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, North America

Summary:

The Spanish word cimarron, meaning 'wild' or 'untamed,' refers to a region in the southern Rocky Mountains where control of timber, gold, coal, and grazing lands long bred violent struggle. After the United States occupation following the 1846-1848 war with Mexico, this tract of nearly two million acres came to be known as the Maxwell Land Grant. When Cimarron Meant Wild presents a new history of the collision that occurred over the region's resources between 1870 and 1900. Author David L. Caffey describes the epic late-nineteenth-century range war in an account deeply informed by his historical perspective on social, political, and cultural issues that beset the American West to this day.

Cimarron country churned with the tensions of the Old West-land disputes, lawlessness, violence, and class war among miners, a foreign corporation, local elites, Texas cattlemen, and the haughty Santa Fe Ring of lawyerly speculators.

Caffey draws on new research to paint a complex picture of these events, and of those that followed the sale of the claim to investors in 1870. These clashes played out over the following thirty years, involving the new English owners, miners and prospectors, livestock grazers and farmers, and Native Americans.
