Sinopsis

In "In the Wilderness," Charles Dudley Warner immerses readers in the untamed beauty of the American wilderness, blending vibrant descriptive prose with reflective narrative. This work, published in the late 19th century, encapsulates the era's burgeoning relationship with nature and the conservation movement, showcasing Warner's keen observations of both the natural environment and society's impact upon it. Through an evocative and sometimes humorous style, he introspects on the American ethos, intertwining personal anecdotes with broader societal critiques, making the text a precursor to modern environmental literature. As a prominent figure in American literature and journalism, Warner's experiences and beliefs shaped his perspective, particularly his deep appreciation for nature and advocacy for environmental preservation. His camaraderie with contemporaries like Mark Twain and involvement in the Hartford community informed his narrative approach, blending intellect with accessibility. Warner's insights into the American landscape reflect a broader concern with industrialization and its consequences, themes that resonated with his audience and continue to be relevant today. For readers who seek a thoughtful exploration of nature and humanity's evolving role within it, "In the Wilderness" is an essential read. Warner's lyrical prose not only captivates but also challenges us to reconsider our relationship with the environment, making this book a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    From social media star and change-maker Molly Burke, a vulnerable, honest, and darkly humorous memoir on navigating the challenges of being a blind woman in a sighted world 
      
    When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that leads to eventual blindness, forcing her to see the world through new eyes—literally. Growing up disabled didn’t stop her from playing sports, becoming a rock-climbing instructor, or winning a beauty pageant, but other people’s narrow perceptions of her held her back. 
      
    Years of relentless bullying, toxic work environments, a rodent-infested apartment, and life’s lowest moments were juxtaposed with red carpets, first-class flights, and personal and professional achievements. Throughout her life, Molly has learned to appreciate the duality, and, most importantly, she’s learned the beauty of being unapologetically yourself and standing up for what you truly believe in. 
      
    In Unseen, Molly chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, entrepreneur, and entertainer, illuminating what her experiences have taught her and what she hopes others can learn from her hardship and successes. Part memoir, part rallying cry for a more compassionate and empathetic world, Unseen recounts Molly’s life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her and, in doing so, helps readers find their own voice, inner strength, and self-acceptance.

    Sisters of the Jungle explores the history of primatology, a rare scientific discipline led primarily by women, from pioneers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to author Keriann McGoogan's own adventurous field studies. 
     
    Since the 1970s, the science of primatology has been dominated by women—a unique reversal, as men usually outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. 
     
    Today, one of those women is primatologist Keriann McGoogan, who has traveled to the far corners of the earth in search of wild primates. In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way: intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and Alison Jolly who broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire branch of science.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Memories of a Nobody is ​an entertaining, candid memoir by Alan Hodgkiss, blending North of England humor, with personal tales from a humble beginning in wartime​ and postwar​ ​childhood ​in England. 
    T​his engaging memoir chronicles ​memorable ​back and forth travels ​and culturally different lifestyles ​i​n England and overseas. 
    Alan comically describes encounters with celebrities, and reflects on what truly matters in life. Its a tale of resilience​ and humor, and A​lan's down-to-earth storytelling mixes nostalgia and wit in his anecdotes and the challenges of starting over​ and over in the enduring search for happiness and belonging.​ 
    Here's what the editor had to say about Memories of a Nobody. 
    A true vagabond, Alan Hodgkiss has spent the past four decades seeking out opportunities on three continents with varying degrees of success but always infinite supplies of optimism. 
    Born into a working class Lancashire family during the early years of world war two, he joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers of the British Army and saw service in the Middle East and Africa in the early nineteen sixties. 
    By the end of the decade, the desire for more from life prompted Alan and his wife Rita to answer the siren's call of emigration to Canada.	This proved to be the first of countless moves across oceans and continents in pursuit of the perfect rainbow and business opportunities. Memories of a Nobody is lively and imbued with the author’s ever ready sense of humour, even in the most trying of circumstances. – Susan McDougall. 
    Alan adds to the editors comments, that he wrote Memories of a Nobody at the request of his many friends but went on to say that they only asked because they could close a book but were too polite to tell him to shut up. 
    Alans rather unique story is narrated by an artificial intelligent voice, that does not have a Lancashire accent.
