To Stand and Stare: How to Garden While Doing Next to Nothing (Audiobook)

Author: Andrew Timothy O'Brien
Narrator: Andrew Timothy O'Brien

Reconnect with nature from the ground up and nurture not only your garden but your soul. There's a lot of gardening advice out there. But none that invites you to think about how to be while you're in your garden. With increasingly busy lives, yet another list of chores seems like the last thing we need when it comes to our own practice of self-care and relaxation. After all, aren't these the things we wanted to escape to the garden for in the first place? What if there was a more low-intervention way to garden, some reciprocal arrangement through which both you and your soil get fed-with minimum fuss, effort and guilt on your part, and the maximum measure of healthy, organic growth for your garden? In To Stand and Stare, Andrew Timothy O'Brien weaves together strands of botany, philosophy and mindfulness to form an ecological narrative suffused with practical gardening know-how. Informed by a deep understanding and appreciation of natural processes, O'Brien encourages the listener to think from the ground up, as we follow the pattern of a plant's growth through the season-roots, shoots, and fruits-while advocating an increased awareness of our surroundings.

The Lincoln Miracle: Inside the Republican Convention That Changed History (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BPDVVTJT | 2023 | 16 hours and 42 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 910 MB
Author: Edward Achorn
Narrator: Adam Barr

The vivid, behind-the-scenes story of perhaps the most consequential political moment in American history-Abraham Lincoln's history-changing nomination to lead the Republican Party in the 1860 presidential election. Illinois lawyer Abraham Lincoln had a record of political failure. In 1858, he had lost a celebrated Senate bid against incumbent Stephen Douglas, his second failed Senate run, and had not held public office since one term in Congress a decade earlier. As the Republican National Convention opened in mid-May 1860 in Chicago, powerful New York Senator William Seward was the overwhelming favorite for the presidential nomination, with notables like Salmon Chase and Edward Bates in the running.

The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America (Audiobook)
English | May 15, 2018 | ASIN: B07BSWY2K9 | MP3@64 kbps | 9h 56m | 265.27 MB
Author: Thomas King
Narrator: Lorne Cardinal

The Inconvenient Indian is at once a "history" and the complete subversion of a history - in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be "Indian" in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands.

The Case Against the Sexual Revolution (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BT6CG8MG | 2023 | 6 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 332 MB
Author: Louise Perry
Narrator: Louise Perry

Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted sexual traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right? Louise Perry argues wrong in her provocative new audiobook. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture, and ubiquitous porn-where anything goes and only consent matters-are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue, and restraint. This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be listened to by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.

Sultan: A Memoir (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9789356294646 | 2023 | 9 hours and 12 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 252 MB
Author: Wasim Akram, Gideon Haigh
Narrator: Ranjit Madgavkar

The official autobiography of Wasim Akram, the 'Sultan of Swing', one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket. For twenty years, Wasim Akram let his cricket do the talking - with his electrifying left-arm pace, his explosive striking as a batsman, and his inspirational leadership. For another twenty years, he kept his own counsel about his cricketing days - full of drama, controversy and even mystery - in a country, Pakistan, that to outsiders is a constant enigma. Sultan tells the story of cricket's greatest left-arm bowler, and one of its enduring survivors, who was chosen from the streets of Lahore and groomed by Imran Khan to become champion of the world - he was Man of the Match in the final of the 1992 World Cup which Pakistan won. Along the way were unforgettable rivalries with the legends of his time, from Viv Richards and Ian Botham to Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne. All of this against a backdrop of conspiracy and intrigue over ball tampering and match-fixing, about which Wasim finally sets the story straight. Sultan provides an unprecedented insight into the life - both on and off the field - of a cricketer who revolutionized the sport with his speed and swing, and a patriot buoyed and burdened by the expectations of one of the game's most fanatical publics.
