  A collection of poetry selected and performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode. Rhapsodes of Ancient Greece were “song-stitchers,” performing selections from the epics of Homer and Hesiod. The contemporary rhapsode performs the classical poetry of his or her language, culture, and tradition. Any particular collection and arrangement of poems for performance I term a “rhapsody.” In general terms, a rhapsody is an ecstatic expression of feeling and enthusiasm. In music, a rhapsody is an instrumental composition irregular in form and suggestive of improvisation. The poems in this rhapsody comprise a number of poems that I have performed in public and known for much of my life as well as several recent additions to my repertory. They are arranged in chronological order from the 16th century to the early 20th century. Some of the poets represented here are Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton, Alexander Pope, William Blake, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, and Robert Frost.

  Blight - Fungi and the Coming...

  Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
   
   
   
  Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  "Milo, the Magic Mudskipper" is an enchanting nursery rhyme that follows six-year-old siblings Charlie and Daphne on a magical underwater adventure. While crabbing at Mudeford Quay in Dorset, England, the children discover Milo, a talking mudskipper from Australia who has become lost after accidentally boarding a ship that carried him far from his mangrove home. 
  Milo possesses magical abilities that allow him to share his amphibious powers with the children, enabling them to breathe underwater and embark on a quest to Neptune's palace in the ocean depths. Their mission: to obtain a magical compass that will guide Milo safely home across the vast seas. 
  The trio faces three challenging trials in Neptune's underwater kingdom: the Riddle Deep, the Trial of Courage, and the Test of Heart. Through these adventures, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, bravery, and selflessness. When faced with choosing between helping Milo or a lost baby whale, they discover that true friendship means putting others' needs first. 
  Neptune, impressed by their noble hearts, rewards them with multiple magical compasses, ensuring both Milo and the whale can find their way home. The story concludes with Milo's joyful return to Australia and the establishment of a lasting friendship maintained through magical shells that allow the friends to communicate across the oceans. 
  Written in traditional nursery rhyme style with consistent AABB rhyme schemes, repetitive phrases, and musical rhythm, the tale emphasizes themes of friendship, courage, environmental awareness, and the magic that exists when we help others in need. 
  The opening music, is a lovely clear female vocal expressing the character of this nursery rhyme runs to nearly four minutes. 
  The appropriate background flutey music gives a happy atmosphere to the narration, and the closing music is an instrumental version of the same type of genre and instruments as the opening music and runs to about three minutes.
