  Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
  A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular. 
  The preface is read by Cerys Matthews, and the rest of the book by the author

  Create a better life by creating better design. Did you know that. . . 
  . . . the arrangement of your living room could improve your relationship with your partner?. . . the layout of your child's classroom affects their grades and test scores?. . . the design of your hospital room influences how quickly you recover? 
  We live in a symbiotic relationship with the spaces around us—first we make our spaces, and then our spaces make us. But we're living in a suboptimal world, one that we designed. The good news: We can redesign it. For twenty years, architect and designer Danish Kurani has been transforming spaces to improve people's health and happiness through the design of schools, homes, offices, and community centers across four continents. 
  The Spaces That Make Us offers you:A clear, easy-to-follow philosophy you can apply to any space—your home, office, school, or neighborhood.Surprising research revealing how design impacts your physical health, emotional well-being, and the quality of your relationships.A journey through the past 2 million years, arriving at how current design practices make life worse.An inspiring vision for creating future designs and a compelling call to rethink design's fundamentalsPractical strategies for using smarter design to improve your life, at any budget level. 
    
  Kurani unveils a life-changing design philosophy, Baaham (pronounced BAH-hum), a word from Urdu meaning “in tandem”—describing two interconnected things working in harmony. Baaham draws from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology. Whether you're designing for yourself or others, at any scale from a bedroom to a city block, Baaham is a roadmap for improving health, building deeper relationships, and finding greater fulfillment. It's not just a philosophy—it's a way of life. 
  Featuring seven core principles, Baaham helps everyone—from financially strapped college students to a manager looking to improve their team's performance—create environments that are functional, beautiful, and life-changing. This book doesn't tell you what to design. It teaches you how to design, so that you can build the life you want. Engaging illustrations are included throughout every chapter to illuminate each principle and bring Baaham to life. 
  The Spaces That Make Us will change how you see the world—opening your eyes to what isn't working, and helping you remake your spaces for a happier, healthier life. 
  Line drawings and a Baaham design canvas can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  The seascapes of Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) made his name in Russia, his native country where he was a painter of the court of Nicholas I, yet his fame barely extended beyond these borders. Master of the Sublime, he made the ocean the principal subject of his work. Sometimes wild and raging, sometimes calm and peaceful, the life of the ocean is composed of as many allegories as the human condition. Like Turner, whom he knew and whose art he admired, he never painted outside in nature, nor did he make preliminary sketches; hispaintings were the fruit of his exceptional memory. With more than 6,000 canvasses, Aivazovsky was one of the most prolific painters of his time.

  Since the murder of Sharon Tate in 1969, the names Charles Manson and Roman Polanski have been brutally linked. But new analysis of the parallel and intertwining stories of these two men reveals a connection that preceded that fateful day.In their early years Manson and Polanski both developed a hatred of the establishment and of authority—Manson, from being abused by relatives, school staff, and jailors, and Polanski from living under the Nazi regime and then Polish Communists in the 1950s.Manson was released from prison and promptly went to the wildest place in North America (San Francisco's Haight Ashbury) at around the same time as Polanski headed for the wildest place in Europe (swinging London). Their paths crossed in Hollywood in the late 1960s, where Polanski had wild success, Manson utter failure. Then on August 8, 1969, Manson orchestrated the murder of Polanski's wife, actress Sharon Tate, and her unborn son.Combining celebrity biography, analysis of a high-profile murder, and in-depth consideration of the lasting legacy of the crime in Polanski's directorial work, Blood and Fame is a riveting investigation that will appeal to both film lovers and true crime listeners alike.
