In the 60,000 years since people began colonizing the continents, a recurring feature of human civilization has been mobility - the ever-constant search for resources and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides, revolutions and pandemics - have only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn't settled - not now, not ever. As climate change tips toward full-blown crisis, economies collapse, governments destabilize, and technology disrupts, we're entering a new age of mass migrations - one that will scatter both the dispossessed and the well-off. ![]() English | ASIN: B09MGCBP7G | 2021 | 6 hours and 43 minutes |MP3|M4B | 184 MB In 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first US expedition to traverse the North American continent.

Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter's primary sources, and has retraced Colter's steps - experiencing firsthand how he survived in the wilderness. ![]() English | ASIN: B0931R3941 | 2021 | 12 hours and 41 minutes |MP3|M4B | 348 MB Feminist philosophy meets family memoir in this new essay collection from Siri Hustvedt, an exploration of the shifting borders that define human experience, including boundaries we usually take for granted - between ourselves and others, nature and nurture, viewer and artwork - which turn out to be far less stable than we imagine.

In Moonlighting: An Oral History, author Scott Ryan (The Last Days of Letterman) interviews over 20 members of the cast and creative team to get to the bottom of this perplexing mystery, uncovering hilarious, provocative, poignant, and sometimes flat-out crazy never-before-told stories about what went on behind the scenes during production of this unforgettable series. ![]() English | ASIN: B09GTFXNNX | 2021 | 8 hours and 56 minutes |MP3|M4B | 246 MB From award-winning writer and critic Alison Croggon, Monsters is a hybrid of memoir and essay that takes as its point of departure the painful breakdown of a relationship between two sisters. It explores how our attitudes are shaped by the persisting myths that underpin colonialism and patriarchy, how the structures we are raised within splinter and distort the possibilities of our lives and the lives of others. Monsters asks how we maintain the fictions that we create about ourselves, what we will sacrifice to maintain these fictions - and what we have to gain by confronting them. |
