  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  I was born in 1947 to a mother from Barnsley and a father from Essex. I have three great loves in my life: Barnsley FC, Yorkshire County Cricket Club and my wonderful wife. My wife is my rock; Yorkshire CCC are my summertime passion; the Super Reds break my heart year after year - but I wouldn't swap them for any other team in the world. I have tried to look at the world of business through the gaze of a mixture of reality, humour and, on occasions, sheer disbelief. Every word and every event documented is the absolute truth. If you enjoy reading this book half as much as I enjoyed writing it, then I will have achieved more than I could ever have hoped for.

  In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

  The hilarious and endearing true tale of two urban Americans who escaped to a tiny olive farm in rural New Zealand. 
  For Jared Gulian, leaving the United States and coming to tiny Wellington, New Zealand, was a big enough switch from the bright lights of big cities. So when his partner CJ decided they just had to buy a rundown olive grove in the Wairarapa Valley, it was almost too much to cope with. 
  First they'd have to drive over the dangerous Remutaka ranges to get there, and Jared was terrified of heights. Then they'd have to figure out what on earth you do with 500 olive trees that hadn't been pruned for years, a geriatric rooster, warring hens, an obese kunekune pig, cast sheep, marauding cattle, and understanding your neighbors when they said "yiece" but meant "yes." 
  In this delightful memoir, Jared Gulian describes the first four years of their new life in the country, its disasters and small triumphs, its surprises and pleasures. But most of all he describes the warmth of the local community that welcomed them, saved them from certain peril, taught them how to cook, how to care for animals, and how to understand and love the land. 
  If you love Peter Mayle, David Sedaris, Frances Mayes, or James Herriot, this charming adventure is for you.

  The Bargain Paradise -...

  An economical dwelling is a home designed with cost-efficiency in mind, blending affordability, functionality, and sustainability. The concept of such a dwelling goes beyond simply being cheap; it involves thoughtful design choices that minimize expenses while maintaining comfort and quality of life. At its core, an economical dwelling aims to reduce the financial burden on its owner without sacrificing the essential aspects of a well-built home. 
  The primary objective of an economical dwelling is to make housing accessible and affordable for a broader population, particularly in an age when housing prices continue to rise in many parts of the world. However, affordability doesn’t mean compromising on the livability or durability of the dwelling. Instead, it highlights the importance of smart choices in materials, space utilization, and design. In such a home, the cost-saving methods employed are balanced with long-term benefits, such as reduced maintenance costs, lower energy consumption, and sustainability. 
  The idea of an economical dwelling often intersects with the broader concepts of sustainable and green living. Sustainable practices focus not only on reducing construction costs but also on minimizing the environmental impact of the home. For instance, energy-efficient designs, the use of recycled materials, and incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines all contribute to the overall affordability by reducing ongoing living expenses. In addition to these eco-friendly features, the use of minimalistic designs and efficient layouts helps make the best use of available space, which also keeps building costs lower.
