  Growing Up! is a practical audiobook for neurodiverse young adults, older teens, and the parents and clinicians who support them. With warmth and clarity, it offers step-by-step ways to strengthen self-regulation, decision-making, and independence skills that last while building inner confidence. 
  Through relatable stories, simple neuroscience, and short journaling practices, listeners learn how to pause before reacting, recover more quickly from overwhelm, and build confidence in their own choices. The focus is on practical autonomy: skills that can be tested in real life and adapted for ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse experiences. 
  Chapters explore systemic and neurological independence, the brain’s natural design for growth, and proven methods for rewiring habits. Each section includes mini-challenges that help listeners experience immediate results—less spiraling, more clarity, and greater ease with everyday tasks. 
  Whether you are a young adult navigating life on your own, a parent supporting your child’s growth, or a clinician looking for accessible resources, Growing Up! provides a clear, encouraging guide. It is both a self-help audiobook and a young adult guide to independence—showing that growing up is not about doing more, but about finding your true inner compass and trusting it.

  For F*ck's Sake - Why Swearing...

  Rebecca Roache

  Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it? 
   
   
   
  In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken—and usually unconscious—inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock. Swearing is unique among etiquette breaches in that it is designed to convey disrespect—swearing packs more of a punch than failing to say "please." 
   
   
   
  Roache helps listeners understand how swearing works, celebrating its power as a communicative tool and source of humor while also taking a close and serious look at specific words—those directed at women and women's bodies, for example—that function in particular, complex ways. She also examines the often-hypocritical ways swearing can be punished or censored. 
   
   
   
  Finally, Roache helps listeners appreciate that swearing isn't always bad. When it's not used offensively, it can foster social intimacy, can help people withstand pain, and might even help us curb our violent impulses.

  Music and Globalization -...

  "World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.
