  Dickens takes his family to Italy for a year and writes down what he sees: Genoa, the Carnival at Rome, a public execution he watched from a window, and the roads between. He wrote it as letters home first and kept the tone - no ruins-and-reverence, and a great deal about how people actually lived. This edition adds a gallery of 37 plates, among them paintings by Canaletto, Francesco Giuseppe Casanova and Giuseppe Zais, with views of the Grand Canal and the English road.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Drift off to sleep while journeying through the strangest, most astonishing corners of the natural world. From a single aspen grove in Utah made of 47,000 genetically identical trunks, to a honey fungus in Oregon quietly covering nine square kilometres of forest floor, this soothing collection of bizarre nature facts is designed to calm the mind and lull you into deep, restful sleep. Discover ancient bristlecone pines older than the pyramids, carnivorous pitcher plants that double as toilets for tree shrews, radiation-eating fungi thriving inside Chernobyl, and a slime mould that recreated Tokyo's rail network using oat flakes. Hear the gentle story of Old Tjikko, a Norway spruce with roots dating back to the last ice age, and the Tree of Ténéré, a lone acacia that stood 400 kilometres from any neighbour in the Sahara. Softly narrated with long, calming pauses between each fact, this relaxing sleep audiobook blends fascinating botany, mycology, meteorology, and earth science into a bedtime experience that quiets racing thoughts. Perfect for insomnia relief, anxiety, meditation, and anyone who loves trivia, science, plants, fungi, weather phenomena, and hidden wonders of the wild. Let stories of glowing mushrooms, spore-firing fungi, singing sands, and thousand-year-old seeds carry you into slumber. A perfect nightly companion for curious minds seeking peaceful rest, gentle learning, and the quiet magic of the living world.

  Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.

  Soul of a Dog - Mirror of a Man...

  My dog was never the problem. I was. 
  When I first met Gandhi, a clumsy Rottweiler puppy, I had no idea he would hold up the most honest mirror I had ever looked into. 
  I grew up afraid of dogs. And still I brought home the very thing I feared most: a powerful predator with a will of his own and a sharp instinct for every one of my insecurities. 
  Gandhi never obeyed my words. He responded to what I truly felt. Every unspoken doubt, every half-made decision, every hidden fear reached him. He forced me to become honest with myself before I could ask him to trust me. 
  This is that story. Open, sometimes painful, often funny. 
  It is the true account of a man who overcomes his fear, grows alongside a stubborn, clever Rottweiler, and learns that real leadership begins within. 
  In Soul of a Dog you will discover:why your dog mirrors your behavior, and what that reveals about youhow real leadership grows from inner clarity instead of dominance or forcehow to let go of fear, control, and self-doubt, and build a deeper bond in the processwhy every setback with your dog is an invitation to growhow frustration turns into trust, through patience, honesty, and a calm heart 
  What Gandhi taught me holds true for every dog, from the liveliest terrier to the calmest golden retriever. Every dog responds to the inner state of the person beside him. 
  This is for you if you love your dog and sense that your bond could run deeper than commands and corrections. It is for you if you are ready to look honestly at your dog, and at yourself. 
  Walk with Gandhi and me from that first fearful step to a bond that changed us both forever. 
  Are you ready to become the person your dog already believes you to be?
