  Following his retirement from academic life, renowned naturalist and writer Whit Gibbons and his family purchased a tract of abandoned farmland where the South Carolina piedmont meets the coastal plain. Described as backcountry scrubland, it was originally envisioned as a family retreat, but soon the property became Gibbons's outdoor learning laboratory where he was often aided by his four grandchildren, along with a host of enthusiastic visitors. 
   
   
   
  Inspired by nature's power to excite, educate, and provide a sense of place in the world, Gibbons invites listeners to learn about their surrounding environments. Peppered throughout with colorful personal anecdotes and told with Gibbons's affable style and wit, Salleyland: Wildlife Adventures in Swamps, Sandhills, and Forests is more than a personal memoir or a record of place. Rather, it is an exercise in learning about a patch of nature, thereby reminding us to open our eyes to the complexity and wonder of the natural world. 
   
   
   
  With Gibbons's guidance and encouragement, listeners will learn to embrace their inner scientists, equipped with the knowledge and encouragement to venture beyond their own front doors, ready to discover the secrets of their habitat, regardless of where they live.

  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Call of Duty franchise is a military first-person shooter video game series that began in 2003 and has sold over 500 million copies. It has become the best-selling first-person shooter game series, according to Guinness World Records. 
    
  Infinity Ward was the first developer of the series, creating the first two titles before Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games also began developing titles. The series has seen other developers create spin-offs and handheld games. 
    
  The original Call of Duty games were set in World War II, but the series shifted to a modern setting with the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This change led to the creation of the Modern Warfare sub-series. 
    
  The Modern Warfare sub-series was rebooted, with Modern Warfare in 2019, followed by Modern Warfare II in 2022, and Modern Warfare III in 2023. Sledgehammer Games was the lead developer for Modern Warfare III, which is the third entry in the rebooted series.

  Here Comes the Fun - A Year of...

  THE NEW AUDIOBOOK FROM THE MUCH-LOVED AUTHOR OF THE GRAN TOUR, A CHIP SHOP IN POZNAN AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES 
   
  Food fights, fishing and French cooking - bestselling author Ben Aitken's year of actively pursuing fun 
   
  Ben Aitken wasn't getting enough. He knew it and so did everyone else. He was grumpy, increasingly boring, mostly joyless. So, he joined a lawn bowls club. A week later, he doubled down on the doldrums by learning to dance like they do in Bollywood. Then - with an almost entirely reformed selfhood winking appealingly just around the corner - he started swimming in cold water and was back to square one. 
   
  Despite the setbacks (and hyperventilation), it was becoming clear to him that the very pursuit of fun was a great way of not feeling naff. And so he made a vow to have as much of the f-stuff as he possibly could. 
   
  Taking a liberal approach to the subject, he sought out things that he used to find fun a long time ago (i.e. food fights and wrestling); things that he'd never done before but reckoned could be fun (boozy French cooking classes, tantric sex); things whose fun-factor was less obvious and more down to earth (nostalgia, volunteering, edible gardening, watching chickens); and things that he wasn't at all sure about but were fun according to other people (gym classes, caving, TikTok). Unsurprisingly, the results were mixed, but he was undoubtedly left feeling ... better. Which left him asking, if fun is the finest medicine, why do we stop doing it?
