  The Tensaw River - Alabama's...

  Mike Bunn

  • 0

  The Tensaw River introduces one of the American South's richest and most fertile natural features. Author Mike Bunn is director of Historic Blakeley State Park, which is nestled in a prominent bend of the majestic Tensaw River. 
   
   
   
  Forming the eastern boundary of the expansive Mobile-Tensaw Delta, the Tensaw has had little industrial development. Left largely undisturbed, the river flows free and bountiful into the grand estuary of Mobile Bay in ways that would be recognizable to Native Americans centuries ago and to pioneers who arrived before Alabama became a state. 
   
   
   
  Bunn's unforgettable stories in The Tensaw River trace the construction and occupation of the Bottle Creek site, an important mound complex built by Southeastern Native Americans a millennia ago. Nearby Blakeley is an antebellum ghost town whose lost memories tease the imagination. During the Civil War, the boom of artillery fire in the battle that sealed the fate of the city of Mobile echoed along the bends in the Tensaw. 
   
   
   
  Located near popular travel destinations, the Tensaw's "Forgotten Cultural Heritage Corridor" is a gateway to the enchanting beauty of—and humankind's relationship to—the landscape of the American South.

  America’s Deadliest Hurricanes:...

  Editors Charles River

  Hurricanes have been devastating communities for thousands of years, bringing about various combinations of rain and wind that can do everything from taking down some dead limbs to wiping out houses. They are also common enough that people who live for any length of time in a region prone to having hurricanes are inclined to accept them as something of a periodic nuisance rather than a serious danger. Modern construction styles allow houses to withstand winds in excess of 100 miles an hour, and early warning systems allow people to evacuate. Thus, most hurricanes of the 21st century take fewer lives than a serious highway accident. 
  As a result, the world watched in horror as Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans in August 2005, and the calamity seemed all the worse because many felt that technology had advanced far enough to prevent such tragedies, whether through advanced warning or engineering. Spawning off the Bahamian coast that month, Katrina quickly grew to be one of the deadliest natural disasters in American history, killing more than 1,800 people and flooding a heavy majority of one of America’s most famous cities. At first, the storm seemed to be harmless, scooting across the Floridian coast as a barely noticeable Category 1 storm, but when Katrina reached the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, its winds grew exponentially before slamming into the southern Louisiana coast as a massive Category 5 hurricane. In addition to the deadly nature of the hurricane, it was also incredibly destructive as a result of failed levees around the New Orleans area. By the time the storm had passed, it had wreaked an estimated $108 billion of damage across the region, and the human suffering, with nearly 2,000 deaths and a million people displaced, was available for viewing across the world.

  In Civilization and Its Discontents, Sigmund Freud delivers one of the most provocative examinations of modern life ever written. In this concise yet profound work, Freud explores the tension between our instinctual drives and the demands of society—arguing that the very structures that protect us also generate deep, unavoidable dissatisfaction. 
  Through reflections on happiness, guilt, repression, religion, and aggression, Freud asks unsettling questions: Why does progress fail to make us happy? What do we sacrifice to live together in peace? And is discontent the price of civilization itself? 
  This audiobook brings Freud’s ideas to life with clarity and intensity, making a cornerstone of psychoanalytic thought accessible to contemporary listeners. Ideal for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, culture, or the hidden forces shaping human behavior. 
  What you’ll explore 
  Why human happiness conflicts with social order 
  The psychological roots of guilt, anxiety, and repression 
  Freud’s critique of religion and moral systems 
  The enduring relevance of psychoanalysis to modern life 
  A challenging, illuminating listen that invites you to confront the uneasy truths beneath civilization’s polished surface.
