  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if your disability was not seen as a condition… but as a consequence? 
  In this searing and sacred testimony, Jorge Madera — a disabled, bilingual author writing from his wheelchair — confronts the silent judgment that surrounds disability in religious, social, and family systems. 
  Told in bold, poetic, and uncompromising chapters, Crippled by Karma — or by People? is not a theology book. 
  It is lived pain. 
  It is a scar turned into scripture. 
  It is a fire that refused to go out, even after silence tried to extinguish it. 
  From nuns who judged instead of healing, 
  to prophets who mistook pain for punishment, 
  to families who spiritualized their abandonment — 
  this audiobook dares to say what most are afraid to admit: 
  Disability is not karma. 
  It is not divine accounting. 
  And those who preach otherwise are not speaking for God. 
  Whether you have been judged, discarded, or called a warning, this book is for you. 
  Written from the wheelchair. 
  Still burning in truth. 
  Still not asking for permission. 
  Narrated in the voice of Adam, through artificial intelligence, to ensure accessibility and faithful delivery.

  The Irish Experiment

  Whether it's committing to a tackle, being a dad or writing a memoir, if Zach Tuohy goes in, he goes 'all in'.  
   
  Like most Irishmen, Zach Tuohy's first love was Gaelic football. But when an Australian football club came knocking with a professional contract, the then-seventeen-year-old leapt at the opportunity to travel across the world and come to grips with an oval ball. 
   
  Despite a rocky start navigating a Carlton Football Club in disarray and becoming a father at twenty-three, Zach went on to become one of the greatest success stories of the 'Irish Experiment'. A move to the Geelong Cats made him a star rebounding defender and cult favourite player, and in 2022 he reached the pinnacle of his adopted code, winning a Premiership medal. In 2023, Zach set a new record for the number of AFL games played by an Irish player, passing the effort of the great Jim Stynes. 
   
  With characteristic devil-may care attitude and determination, Zach writes candidly about his experiences in Australia, recounting the good, the bad and the downright hilarious. He has plenty to say about the relationships between the indigenous codes of GAA and the AFL, and what needs to change secure the future of Irish and Australian footballers alike.

  Why Am I Taller? - What Happens...

  What happens in space that causes the body to change? Learn about life in space from astronauts 
  		 
  Is the human body built for Mars? NASA’s studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there’s the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love.
  		 
  Space doctors are on the case. You’ll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body?
  		 
  As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in “partial gravity.” How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.

  The Archaeology of Loss - Life...

  My whole adult life, I have made a study of death.A stunning blend of the personal and professional, The Archaeology of Loss is Sarah Tarlow’s first memoir. An accomplished archaeologist, much of Sarah’s work is concerned with the ritual and belief behind the practice of grief. In 2012, she was awarded the Chair in Archaeology at the University of Leicester. But in the years that followed this appointment, Sarah’s husband, Mark, would begin to suffer from a progressive but undiagnosed illness, finally resulting in his inability to drive, to walk, to taste or to care for himself. Though Sarah had devoted her professional life to the study of emotion, of how we anticipate and experience grief, nothing could have prepared her for the realities of care-giving, of losing someone you love and the helplessness attached to both.A fiercely honest and unique memoir, The Archaeology of Loss describes a collective experience with an unflinching and singular gaze and will undoubtedly speak to listeners of The Salt Path and H is for Hawk. Told with humour, intelligence and urgency, this is an unforgettable experience.
