Summary

Mayhem on the Eno River 
Visitors to the Eno River don't expect to encounter haunted houses, train wrecks or fun outings that turn into tragedy, but some of them have experienced just that. In 1771, a few of America's first rebels were hanged near the river. An accident at a sawmill led to a series of hauntings. A Valentine's Day dance became the area's greatest murder mystery. Train-hopping teenagers had harrowing experiences, and a baby abandoned in a suitcase was found by a nearby farmer. Author and former Eno River State Park ranger Dave Cook details the scary side of a beloved tributary.

    Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting.
    When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list.
    The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice.
    Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Abstract Language: Learning to Speak the Infinite , is for anyone who feels that ordinary language is too limited to capture the depth of their experience.  
    It is for writers, artists, architects, spiritual seekers, poets, teachers, designers, and sensitive thinkers who sense that the visible world is only the surface of something larger.  
     
    Through Moshe Katz’s personal and visionary approach, the book reveals abstract language as a path from object to essence, from matter to meaning, from form to spirit, and from the concrete world into the infinite dimension hidden inside it. 
    This book teaches you how to see reality differently. You will learn how a tree becomes rising, how a stone becomes time, how a door becomes passage, how a mirror becomes consciousness, and how a wound becomes threshold. Instead of using language only to describe what is visible, you begin to use language as a bridge toward what is invisible.  
     
    The book guides you through symbols, intuition, intention, rhythm, silence, abstraction, distortion, and spiritual perception, showing you how to move beyond ordinary naming and enter the hidden force inside things. After reading The Abstract Language, you will never look at the world in the same way again. Objects will become signs, spaces will become states of being, words will become energetic vessels, and writing will become a meditative passage toward the infinite.  
     
    The book gives you a new way to write, think, create, and perceive reality, not as something flat and finished, but as something layered, alive, symbolic, and spiritually charged. It is a book for anyone who wants to awaken a deeper language inside themselves and learn how to speak with the invisible dimension that lives within the visible world.

    What do you get if you blend a downtrodden head teacher, a hostile school inspector, an incompetent reality TV film crew, an ice cream factory and a load of unruly pigs? A hilarious novel from the pen of Steve Baker, a brilliant writer and school behaviour specialist.
    Outstanding tells the story of a school inspection set against the backdrop of a struggling school in a semi-rural setting. Educating Norfolk have been invited in to film the cash strapped school and just happen to arrive at the same time as the inspectors - with hysterical results. Meanwhile, a war erupts between the neighbouring ice cream factory and a local pig farmer in which the school is collateral damage. Plus, an idealistic recently appointed inspector, confronted with the reality of his judgements and their consequences, is forced to make a life-changing decision.  Steve skilfully weaves these elements together and leads the unhappy protagonists towards a magnificent and heartwarming climax.
    As a teacher, behaviour specialist and award winning education non-fiction author, Steve Baker brings insider knowledge and sharp wit to this brilliantly crafted debut novel. Combining satire and social commentary, this hilarious book captures the heart of the chaos and pressures of modern-day teaching.
    A highly entertaining read for teachers of all levels seeking a light-hearted escape from the pressures and stresses of their day job.

    In The Enablers: How the West Supports Kleptocrats and Corruption — Endangering Our Democracy, Frank Vogl delivers a gripping and deeply researched exposé that reveals how Western institutions—banks, law firms, accountants, lobbyists, and even art dealers—play a pivotal role in empowering some of the world’s most corrupt regimes. 
     
    With decades of experience in international finance and anti-corruption advocacy, Vogl traces the hidden networks that allow dictators and oligarchs to launder vast fortunes through Western financial systems. He exposes how these enablers turn a blind eye, profiting from secrecy while weakening democratic institutions and global stability. 
     
    Clear, urgent, and compelling, The Enablers challenges listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth: corruption isn’t just a foreign problem—it’s being fueled from within our own economies. Essential listening for anyone concerned about ethics, global justice, and the future of democracy.
