Title: Thanks for Sharing: How I Gave Up Buying and Embraced Swapping, Borrowing and Renting

Author: Eleanor Tucker

Narrator: Julie Maisey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:09:36

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-23

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Non-Fiction, Home & Garden

Summary:

In this fascinating book, Eleanor Tucker sets out a bold vision of how sustainable sharing can save us money, and lead to a happier future.

What is the Sharing Economy? How can it help us live more affordable, more sustainable, and ultimately more fulfilling lives?  What would happen if for one year a family pledged to share as much as they possibly can? Instead ofowning more and more stuff, what it’s like to stop owning things and borrow, lend, rent and swap instead?

These are big questions, but features writer Eleanor Tucker sets out to answer them in this thoroughly absorbing and entertaining guide to sustainable sharing, or as it is also known, 'collaborative consumption'.

In this engrossing study, Eleanor straps us into on her year-long experiment along with her somewhat reluctant family. Over the course of the year, with the aid of various sharing apps, they will pledge to buy as few new things as possible, instead relying on the power of sharing, lending, renting and borrowing to supply their needs.

Each chapter introduces a different type of sharing into her day to day life, from the little ‘things' (food, clothes) to the bigger ’things' (cars, furniture, the space around us), and shows how the growth of tech has revolutionized an age-old practice. 

The book contains best-for recommendations based around different types of sharing, to create an easily accessible shortcut into sharing.

Written with warm and relatable humour as well as a deeply-researched knowledge of the history of sharing, this unmissable guide could truly change the way you consume.

Title: Quantum Physics Made Me Do It: A Simple Guide to the Fundamental Nature of Everything

Author: Jeremie Harris

Narrator: Jeremie Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:38:58

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-23

Publisher: Viking Canada

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Astronomy & Physics, Philosophy

Summary:

WINNER OF THE 2024 NON-FICTION KOBO EMERGING WRITER PRIZE

LONGLISTED FOR THE SCIENCE WRITERS AND COMMUNICATORS OF CANADA AWARD

An entertaining and accessible dive into the riveting world described by quantum mechanics, from physicist, AI risk expert, and Hollywood “alternative reality” consultant Jérémie Harris.

Are human beings immortal? Are apples conscious? Do our legal systems make assumptions about free will that are just plain wrong? Of all the terrific books on quantum physics—from Stephen Hawking to Brian Greene—the questions they never seem to satisfy are the implications of the science. We know that quantum physics is real—our phones and computers wouldn’t work if the science wasn’t right. But what does it all mean?

Does it mean that we live in one among a near-infinity of parallel universes? Or that everything that happens in the universe is pre-ordained—right down to what we think and how we act? Or does the science point in a stranger direction—towards the idea that the entire universe is one big mind? If one of these is true, what would it mean for our place in the universe, our immortal souls, and the future of humanity itself?

The most basic encounter with quantum physics leads us to a dizzying array of incredible implications, each one more capable than the last of blowing our minds—all of which can be engaged without advanced math or deep knowledge of theory.

Enter: Quantum Physics Made Me Do It—a smart, accessible, and engaging adventure through the complex and beautiful world mapped out by modern physics. Jérémie Harris at last offers us a book on quantum physics that the entire universe can enjoy—perhaps together as one big mind.

Title: Anglophobia: The Unrecognised Hatred

Author: Frank Salter, Harry Richardson

Narrator: Andrew Reader, Margaret James

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4:49:38

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-23

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world. So said journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Had she said this about any other race, it is unlikely that she would ever have found employment with a mainstream media outlet. Yet not only was Nikole Hannah-Jones hired byThe New York Times; she received the coveted Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the 1619 project which also defames white people.

Why is it that such hateful rhetoric is no barrier to employment atThe New York Times,whilst criticism of any other racial group would have you fired in a New York minute? Why is Critical Race Theory and its defamation of white people and their societies seeping into every corner of education, the media, and the corporate world?

These and other questions need answers because Western civilisation in Australia and elsewhere is facing an existential threat.Anglophobia The Unrecognised Hatredanalyses and articulates the root causes of this pervasive anti-white hatred.

The book is a systematic rejection of the hypocritical notion that racism is acceptable so long as it is only directed at white men, women and children.

Title: Halal Sex: The Intimate Lives of Muslim Women in North America

Author: Sheima Benembarek

Narrator: Mona Eltahawy, Sheima Benembarek

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:37:31

Language: English

Release date: 03-21-23

Publisher: Viking Canada

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Islam, Social Science, Women

Summary:

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE QWF CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY FIRST BOOK PRIZE*

An unprecedented glimpse into the sex lives of female and gender-expansive Muslims living across Canada and the United States.

In the Muslim world, sex is permissible (or halal) only within the confines of marriage. Outside of wedlock, the act is considered haram, a sin of the faith. Girls are taught to protect their virginity; their mothers, if not forgoing “the talk” altogether, obscure the facts with elliptical language and metaphors.

So, what happens when immigrants and the children of immigrants set about pursuing an open and active sex life on a more sexually liberated continent, amid western peers and attitudes? The six deeply personal stories in Halal Sex attempt to answer this question, bringing a hushed conversation out into the open.

Within these pages you’ll meet Azar, a non-binary trans Sufi; Bunmi, a Nigerian navigating shame and Tinder; Eman, a lesbian stand-up comic in an interfaith marriage; Taslim, a virgin in her forties struggling to erect healthy boundaries; and Khadijah, an exotic dancer and sex worker.

With great empathy, Sheima Benembarek makes space for the honesty and vulnerability of each participant and handles their stories with gentleness and care. What emerges is a tapestry of a diverse Islam—encompassing a wide variety of cultural and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds—and a frank, feminist contribution to the advancement of Muslim sexual education and pleasure.
