    If “Top Gun: Maverick” or “Ford Versus Ferrari” kept your attention, “Go! The Bettenhausen Story” will keep you riveted.  What prompts these men to climb into small spaces and propel themselves at death defying speeds?  Subtitled “A Race Against A Dream,” this audiobook attempts to answer that question through the eyes of the Bettenhausen family, one of the greatest racing families in the history of the sport of automobile racing.  Whether a casual or passionate racing fan, you’ll be fascinated at the closeup of the racing industry as this book chronicles its growth from the 1930s to the 1980s through the eyes of patriarch Tony Bettenhausen and his three racing sons as they conduct “A Race Against A Dream.”As the author Carl Hungness writes, “It’s not the win at Indy the racers want, it’s the challenge.  The way of life.  It’s the feeling that can’t be conveyed until it’s experienced.  What makes the breed of man they call a race car driver tick?  Some respect them and others pity them.  Don’t pity them; they’ve seen the consequences.  They all think they’ll beat the odds.  For some, driving in the race is living and everything else is just waiting.  They’re more alive inside the car than out of it.”A very small percentage of humans will experience the peril and thrill of the Indy 500, an annual spectacle that fuels the dreams of men and women alike seeking the thunderous adrenaline rush that the race provides.  This audiobook dares to drive you close to experiencing “the aura surrounding the fervor for driving a race car.”  Buckle up- it’s quite a ride.

    Eve Muirhead got her fairy tale career conclusion – an Olympic gold medal to complete the set.
The Perthshire farmer's daughter, multi-talented in sport, inherited her father's love of, and talent for, the 'roaring game' of curling. The road from child prodigy to best in the world wasn't a straight line, however. This is the story of hidden adversity, sporting escapism, inner doubt and external pressure.
Teammates and coaches changed but the resolve of Britain's Ice Queen to fight for her golden ending at a fourth and final Winter Olympics refused to melt. Eve Muirhead changed her sport and will now change perceptions of what it took to become a leader, a role model and a national icon as one of Scotland's most successful ever athletes.
This is her story.

    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
		 
The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
		 
Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.
