  Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
   
   
   
  In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
   
   
   
  Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
   
   
   
  Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.

  This Won't Help - Modest...

  Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help—but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably. 
   
   
   
  There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime—with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! 
   
   
   
  Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one—not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.

  The Grudge Journal - A Humorous...

  Jonathan Barry

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Admit it. There is something, and by something I mean someone, and by someone I mean a specific person, that you have not forgiven, that you have not forgotten, and that you will absolutely be bringing up at the most inconvenient moment possible, probably years from now, probably at a dinner party, probably with a smile that scares the person across from you. You know exactly who they are. You know the date, the time, and possibly the outfit they were wearing. 
   
  The world has a lot of advice for people like us, and almost all of it is designed to make us feel guilty. Forgive and forget. Let it go. Choose happiness. I have nothing against gratitude, but I have noticed something important about the people who preach these things the loudest: they are almost never the ones who have actually been wronged. 
   
  Here is the uncomfortable truth. Suppressing a genuine grievance does not make it disappear. It makes it go underground. The alternative is not an angry confrontation in the middle of a restaurant. The alternative is writing it down, and the research is genuinely solid, from a tradition psychologists have been studying since the 1980s. 
   
  Inside, you will find: 
  - The case for pettiness, and why your grudges are a compass and a source of material 
  - The Grudge Ledger, the centerpiece of the whole practice 
  - The severity scale and the taxonomy of offenders 
  - The witness statement method and the language of pettiness 
  - Receipts in the digital age and the unwritten rules of grudge etiquette 
  - The lifecycle of a grudge and the ceremony of release 
   
  Document, grade, revisit, release. A well-kept grudge is not a weakness, and it is a form of self-respect. Take your pettiness seriously enough to write it down, and you will stop being bitter, tired, and impossible to sit next to at a wedding.
