  A hauntingly beautiful diptych of works inspired by Robert Macfarlane's travels with celebrated collaborators to two eerie corners of England. 
   
  In Holloway, "a perfect miniature prose-poem" (William Dalrymple), Macfarlane, artist Stanley Donwood, and writer Dan Richards travel to Dorset, near the south coast of England, to explore a famed "hollowed way"—a path used by walkers and riders for so many centuries that it has become worn far down into the soft golden bedrock of the region. 
   
  In Ness, "a triumphant libretto of mythic modernism for our poisoned age" (Max Porter), Macfarlane and Donwood create a modern myth about Orford Ness, the ten-mile-long shingle spit that lies off the coast of East Anglia, which the British government used for decades to conduct secret weapons tests.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Do you feel like your body is constantly at war with the world around you?  Do you seem powerless, overwhelmed and isolated by reactions you can’t control? 
  If so, welcome to the world of Hista-Maniacs – a term the author created that portrays the immune system as an overzealous knight defending his sickly castle.  For those battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), this knight’s defense often goes haywire.  Out-of-control mast cells produce chemicals called mediators which cause inflammation and chaos in the body. Millions of people worldwide face this daily struggle, triggered by toxic exposures such as mold, tick bites, electronics, chemicals or industrial pollution.  Those dealing with toxic aftermaths of disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and explosions may live this nightmare too. 
  This book is by and for Hista-Maniacs.  Retired minister and Army officer Sharon Kiesel knows this battle all too well.  Forced to sleep in her car and campers to escape her mold-invaded home, she fought back against chronic inflammation, despair, and the toppling of her social life.  Now she shares her hard-earned wisdom alongside empowering advice from generations of others who have faced the same challenges.  Together, they offer practical strategies to help you: 
  •	Avoid triggers and create a safe, healing environment. 
  •	Decode your body’s warning signs before a reaction spirals out of control. 
  •	Build a resilient immune system to regain your health and hope. 
  Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with this condition for years, this book offers a compassionate and realistic approach to coping with the unpredictability of chronic inflammation.  It is a lifeline for anyone ready to take control of their health and advocate for a cleaner, safer world.

  This inspiring audiobook shares the stories of trailblazing women astronomers from around the globe
  
  Features a prelude, chapter introductions, and postlude read by Kaliswa Brewster
  With additional narration by Marnie Chesterton, Katherine Fenton, Pooneh Ghoddoosi, and Kate Harper
  The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical narratives by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. This audiobook vividly describes how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. After decades of difficult struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before. Here are the stories of the tough and determined women who flung the doors wide open. Taking readers from 1960 to today, this triumphant anthology serves as an inspiration to current and future generations of women scientists while giving voice to the history of a transformative era in astronomy.

  When Animals Rescue - Amazing...

  What do stories about humpback whales protecting a biologist from a shark, a pride of lions rescuing a girl from kidnappers, gorillas working together to dismantle poacher snares, a parrot warding off an attacker in a park, a chimpanzee consoling a human, and an elephant trying to rescue a baby rhino tell us about animal nature? And what might they suggest about our very own human nature?  
    
  Until just a few decades ago, there were only a few animals reported to behave empathetically and altruistically. More recently, the list of species who have been observed behaving in compassionate, helpful, and caring ways has grown exponentially, ranging from rats to elephants. 
    
  Rescued by a Whale presents dozens of astonishing and heart-warming stories about animals, such as chickens, horses, dolphins, and wolves, who engage in acts of helpful kindness. During a time in history when studies show that human empathy is decreasing, our knowledge about animal empathy is increasing. These true tales of heroism, kindness, and compassion suggest that we have far more in common with other animals than we once believed and provocatively suggest that what’s best about our human natures just might be our animal natures.
