Beyond the Darkness -...

Dr. Chad Scott

Uncover Meaning in Humanity’s Darkest Moments  
WITH A FOREWORD BY DR. PHILIP STONE  
  
In Beyond the Darkness: Transformative Journeys Through Dark Tourism, Dr. Chad Scott, multi-category #1 Amazon bestselling author, takes readers on a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of some of history’s most profound and challenging sites.  
From the solemn corridors of Auschwitz to the shadowy depths of the Paris Catacombs and the reflective spaces of Ground Zero, Dr. Scott doesn’t just explore the physical remnants of tragedy—he uncovers their emotional and transformative potential. With vivid storytelling and personal reflections, he examines how even the world’s darkest chapters can teach us resilience, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit. Far more than a travel memoir, this is a powerful testament to how dark tourism allows us to connect with the past to find meaning in our own lives.  
Beyond the Darkness asks questions that linger long after the journey ends:  
What can we learn from humanity’s most difficult moments?  
How do these places help us confront our own struggles, mortality, and capacity for growth?  
What does it mean to bear witness to history and come away forever changed?  
Perfect for readers of Anthony Bourdain’s adventurous spirit, Viktor Frankl’s exploration of meaning, and Sheryl Strayed’s personal vulnerability, this is for anyone drawn to powerful travel writing and meaningful history—a guide to finding hope, strength, and clarity in the shadows.

Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

David B. Williams

Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
 
 
 
Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

Leo & Friends: The Dogs with a...

Lyndsey Uglow

‘I knew dogs could make a difference to the children’s lives. I knew it the moment I watched a little boy, exhausted by pain and sickness, stretch out his hand to touch my dog’s paw, and then…he smiled.’ 
Lyndsey Uglow has endured and overcome mental health challenges and much personal pain, including her young son’s battle with Leukaemia. Lyndsey knows only too well the emotional rollercoaster experienced by parents supporting their children through critical illness, but she also knows just how much the company of dogs can alleviate just some of their worry and pain. 
The healing bond with dogs that helped her, she now shares with others – in the shape of a dynasty of exceptional Golden Retrievers, including the incredible Leo. Since 2012, Lyndsey has made it possible for therapy dogs to visit more than 10,000 children, many critically ill, bringing smiles of simple joy and a sense of normality to lives ruled by pain, sadness and uncertainty in paediatric intensive care, cancer wards and palliative care. 
Leo has also faced his own battles. After suffering a serious injury on a beach run, he was saved by a pioneering technique which restored him to full health for the sake of the children who were missing him so much. 
This is Lyndsey and Leo’s story and how they have brought the extraordinary healing powers of dogs to others; while sharing the stories of just some of the thousands of children for whom a soft paw or wet nose has brought comfort, care, laughter and joy at the darkest of times. 
Lyndsey Uglow's LEO & FRIENDS is a heart-wrenching memoir that explores the themes of grief, bereavement, and the healing power of pets. It's a top-rated autobiography that delves into the complex dynamics of family relationships and the solace found in the companionship of animals. 
For fans of Andrew Cotter (Dog Days), Linda Watson-Brown (Sins of the Father), Dr Amit Patel (Kika & Me), Noel Fitzpatrick (Dogs and Their Humans), and James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small).

God's Biker - Motorcycles and...

Sean Stillman

Finally an audiobook version of the thought provoking autobiography, God’s Biker, narrated by the author himself. A raw and honest, personal story of life on the road and faith with the lid off.
Consisting of vulnerable honesty, it describes this somewhat shy son of a preacher’s unlikely journey from the church pew, into the sub-cultural world of motorcycle clubs and the forming of a chaotic church community of ragamuffins.
It’s about finding beauty in broken places, and where the walking wounded try to work out their faith against all the odds. From his original home in rural Berkshire in England, to the city of Swansea, in South Wales, this road trip goes via Australia, Ukraine, New Zealand and host of other pit stops, including a town called Hell. But it’s not the places that become transformative, it’s the people you sit with and the stories they share with you.
It’s where chaos and disorder sit alongside community and grace at Zac’s Place, a church that looks more like an AA meeting and a hospital casualty department. It’s on the road with Sean, a 30 year member and senior officer of God’s Squad Christian Motorcycle Club, where he faced opposition and physical beatings from those who weren’t so pleased to see him and his mates. It’s about not giving up.
God's Biker is an ongoing story. Just when you think it’s complete, Sean Stillman adds additional material to this audiobook that he didn’t see coming and rocked him to the core of his soul.
