  The Last Wilderness

  Murray Morgan's classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness "as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." 
   
   
   
  Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area's settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula's wildlife and land. 
   
   
   
  Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of listeners.

  Joke Farming - How to Write...

  The winner of four Emmys, a Peabody, and two Writers Guild Awards (all of which badly need dusting) explains his process for writing comedy without going insane. 
    
  Philosophers may debate the meaning of comedy (thankfully keeping them too busy to fall into a life of crime), but the rest of us are more likely to wonder how we can make an audience laugh—or at least, how to entertain our friends and followers. According to award-winning comedy writer Elliott Kalan, we need to stop staring out the window, waiting for hilarious bits to stroll into view, fully formed. What we need is a process to plant their premises, tend to their structure and wording, and ultimately harvest them as funny material. In short, a farm. But for jokes. 
    
  In Joke Farming, Kalan explains that it’s easier to write jokes when you have a dependable method for doing so. All jokes, he argues, are built from the same elements: structure, premise, voice, tone, wording, and audience—and these elements can be applied to any comedic genre, from stand-up to sitcoms to satire. Kalan analyzes examples from his own career—including jokes that he wrote (and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote . . . ) as head writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—as well as material from a diverse array of comedians, writers, and filmmakers, highlighting the phrasing, rhythm, and precise details that make their work so dang funny. 
    
  Drawing on his experiences in professional writers’ rooms as well as episodes from everyday life, Kalan’s guide to jokes will appeal to aspiring writers, their mentors, comedy fans, and anyone who has to speak at a wedding. Joke Farming points the way toward a writing process that lessens stress and agony and yields more reliable rewards: a surprising tagline, a hilarious word choice, and—most importantly—a bigger laugh from the audience, whoever they may be.

  Useless Trivia Facts That Will...

  Let go of the constant need to solve problems or retain information. The narration utilizes long, unhurried sentences and mild curiosities to create a soft layer of mental insulation. This deliberate lack of excitement acts as a natural sedative, guiding your thoughts away from wakefulness and toward a drowsy, rhythmic state of relaxation.
   
  What you will encounter on your journey to sleep: 
  
   A continuous stream of pleasantly forgettable information designed to disengage your focus. 
  The quiet history of everyday objects and unremarkable habits of small animals. 
  A soothing, level narration style that avoids sudden jolts or dramatic revelations. 
  A stress-free environment where you are not required to remember a single detail.
  
   
  Treat this listening experience as a steady, comforting murmur that requires absolutely no attention. It is the ultimate bedside companion for anyone seeking a safe, slow descent into slumber, turning the subtle details of the world into soft stepping stones for your dreams.

  Quit Gambling Hypnosis - Break...

  You have had the conversations with yourself in the car on the way home. 
  The promises made in the dark. The mornings you woke up and told yourself that last night was the last time. And then the pull came back, and somehow you found yourself there again. Watching the numbers. Waiting for the spin. Telling yourself that this time would be different. 
  I know what that pull feels like. I know the way it starts as a whisper and becomes something you cannot argue with. And I know the silence afterward. The sick, heavy silence that follows every loss. 
  Hear me clearly. 
  You are not a bad person. You are not weak. You are not beyond help. 
  You are someone who got caught in one of the most powerful psychological traps ever engineered. The gambling industry employs some of the most sophisticated behavioral scientists in the world to make their games almost impossible to walk away from. And you have been fighting it with nothing but willpower. That is not weakness. That is a profoundly unfair fight. 
  The reason willpower alone has not worked is because your compulsion does not live in your conscious mind. It lives deeper, in the patterns of feeling and response that run automatically before your thinking mind even knows what is happening. That is exactly where this program goes. 
  For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens. And in that state, carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet work. Rewriting the pattern. Releasing the urge. Restoring the trust you have lost in yourself. 
  One day, sooner than you expect, the pull will simply not come the way it used to. Your wallet will stop being a source of dread. Your mornings will stop carrying that heavy silence. The double life will end, and the real one will begin. 
  Listen daily for 15 days. Use headphones in a quiet space. The work happens whether you feel it or not.

  Immaqa: a Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) word meaning perhaps, possibly, or maybe, because often, in Greenland, you are dependent on the weather and have to go with the flow ... or floe. 
   
  A lifelong literary devotion leads travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber to the annual Iceland Writer's Retreat, where her favourite author, award-winning Canadian writer Will Ferguson, is presenting. The retreat links her adoration of him with a quest that is inspiring and self-deprecatingly comedic. 
   
  Join Lorna in Iceland as she snowmobiles across Europe's largest glacier, totters through the narrow crevasse between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, rides Icelandic horses through volcanic valleys, and learns how to bake rye bread in geothermal soil. Visit Greenland's sheep farming villages, view the Illulisat Ice Fjord's colossal icebergs, and don crampons to climb on Greenland's ice sheet with Lorna as she confronts physical challenges and embraces the Arctic weather and terrain. 
   
  This memoir celebrates curiosity, nature, and the transformative power of travel. Through her exploration of these two rugged islands, Lorna develops a great appreciation for the lifestyles and landscapes of the North while laughing at and rolling with the absurdities that arise when well laid plans collide with illness, injury, and unpredictable weather.
