  A Place Set for Me - A Cameroon...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  There is no one here whom I will be dying to see again. Peter O'Neil wrote that home the week he left Cameroon. This is the story of how wrong he was. 
  In 1988 he landed in Bangem, a mountain village in the anglophone region of Cameroon, an engineer with zero teaching experience, assigned to a classroom with no glass in the windows. He figured he'd stay two years, do some good, and head home. 
  Then three boys showed up at his door with a broom. A widow named Mami Elizabeth set a place for him at her fire and called him her child. And a village that barely knew him decided he didn't need to be alone anymore. 
  A Place Set for Me follows those two years, and the thirty-five that came after. Fufu and chevron beads. The cord in the discipline master's drawer. Two dollars between a child and a fever. The night the women pulled him into the dance. A place with little of what the world calls wealth, and far more of the other kind than he had ever imagined. 
  It is also the story of a question his father once asked, and of the answer that arrived only years later: not what he was running from, but what he was running toward. 
  Narrated in the author's own voice, recreated with AI from the studio recording of his earlier audiobook, with select passages recorded live in West African Pidgin English.

  William Stanek's Everglades - A...

  The Editors of Our American...

  • 0

  The Everglades is a river broad enough to disguise itself as land.
  
  Water moves slowly through sawgrass, slough, mangrove, marl prairie, pond, bay, and coast. Elevation differences measured in inches can reorder entire communities of plants and animals.
  
  William Stanek's Everglades helps readers see that hidden structure. Roads, boardwalks, water routes, wildlife watching, seasonal change, mosquitoes, heat, storms, distance, and the transition from freshwater to mangrove coast become parts of one flowing landscape rather than separate attractions.
  
  This is not a guide built around the fantasy that wildlife will appear on command. It teaches patience, habitat, season, timing, and the difference between looking at an animal and understanding the system that makes its presence possible.
  
  For birders, wildlife watchers, families, couples, solo travelers, photographers, paddlers, and curious first-time visitors, the Everglades becomes more legible-and far stranger-once the eye learns to follow water.
