  Katharine Stewart, who died in 2013, was one of Scotland's best-loved writers on rural life in the Highlands. A Croft in the Hills, her first book, tells the story of how a couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, took over a remote hill croft near Loch Ness and made a living from it. Full of warm personal insights, good humour and a love of living things, it has become a classic and has rarely been out of print since it was first published in 1960.
  This omnibus gathers A Croft in the Hills together with some of Katharine's later books: A Garden in the Hills, describing a year in the life of her Highland garden; A School in the Hills, a vivid history of the school at Abriachan which eventually became the Stewarts' family home; and The Post in the Hills, which tells the dramatic story of the postal service in the Highlands, from the point of view of Katharine's later role as
  postmistress of the smallest post office in Scotland, run from the porch of her Abriachan schoolhouse.
  Each of these books glows with what Neil Gunn described as 'its unusual quality, its brightness and its wisdom'. The omnibus will bring the grace, charm and wisdom of Katharine Stewart's writing to a new generation of readers.

  Take a Unique Adventure as You Explore Questions about God, Suffering, Evil, Pain, and Final Destiny 
  Be engaged, enlightened, and surprised by this unique book on suffering that gives control to you. Similar to novels that allow you to choose your own "path," Why Is There Suffering? by Bethany Sollereder invites you to make choices that lead you on an exploration of theological possibilities about topics like:God's existenceGod's natureThe nature of sufferingEvilPainThe final destiny of humans and animals 
  You will face multiple possibilities regarding suffering and its theological explanations and have to make choices about which one you find most plausible. Each decision will lead to further complexities and new choices, helping you see how theological choices lead to certain conclusions. This book does not offer final answers. Instead, it introduces the "theological" possibilities, both Christian and non-Christian, that you can explore and wrestle with so you can make informed decisions about your beliefs. 
  Taking an intentionally light-hearted approach to a heavy topic this accessible and winsome book presents an unusually helpful introduction to the problem of suffering and the most commonly offered responses to it. 
  Suggestions for further reading, appendixes, and accompanying images are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Mate Choice - The Evolution of...

  “Mate Choice represents an ambitious synthesis of our current understanding of sexual selection in a broad range of life forms.” —ScienceThe popular consensus on mate choice has long been that females select mates likely to pass good genes to offspring. In Mate Choice, Gil Rosenthal overturns much of this conventional wisdom. Providing the first synthesis of the topic in more than three decades, and drawing from a wide range of fields, including animal behavior, evolutionary biology, social psychology, neuroscience, and economics, Rosenthal argues that “good genes” play a relatively minor role in shaping mate choice decisions and demonstrates how mate choice is influenced by genetic factors, environmental effects, and social interactions.Looking at diverse organisms, from protozoans to humans, Rosenthal explores how factors beyond the hunt for good genes combine to produce an endless array of preferences among species and individuals. He explains how mating decisions originate from structural constraints on perception and from nonsexual functions, and how single organisms benefit or lose from their choices. Both the origin of species and their fusion through hybridization are strongly influenced by direct selection on preferences in sexual and nonsexual contexts. Rosenthal broadens the traditional scope of mate choice research to encompass not just animal behavior and behavioral ecology but also neurobiology, the social sciences, and other areas.Focusing on mate choice mechanisms, rather than the traits they target, Mate Choice offers a groundbreaking perspective on the proximate and ultimate forces determining the evolutionary fate of species and populations.“At once encyclopedic, idiosyncratic, and illuminating―a wonderful book to dip into.” ―Monique Borgerhoff Mulder, coauthor of Conservation: Linking Ecology, Economics, and Culture

  World War II rises in its vastness and complexity over the rest of human history. A number of victims difficult to conceive, never surpassed by any other conflict; the masses of men, women and resources mobilized in a conflict that shook even the most remote ends of the planet; the ideological battle between totalitarianism and democracy, between fascism and communism, the passions and hatred that it aroused; the unimaginable horror and fanaticism of the Holocaust; geopolitical games; the repetition of World War I on an even more dire scale. 
  The war was a gigantic melting pot of violence, power, and ideology that will leave an indelible scar on human history. 
  This Diary of the Second World War has been able to cover all facets of the conflict and is a fundamentally empirical work, which narrates events as they occurred, rejecting value judgments, and therein lies its value: it is an insurmountable encyclopedia on war. 
  This complete 73-hour series is available in audiobook, ebook and, as an audiovisual, on Prime. 
  In this audiobook we offer you the day by day of the month of:December 1944
