Author: Russell Wangersky
Narrator: Jeff Sinasac
An award-winning author goes looking for the meaning of family and belonging on a glorious wild-goose-chase road trip across middle America. Wangersky's great-great-grandfather crossed the continent in search of gold in 1849. William Castle Dodge was his name, and he was 22 years old. He wrote a diary of that eventful journey that comes into the author's hands 160 years later. And typically, quixotically, Wangersky decides to follow Dodge's westward trail across the great bulging middle of America, not in search of gold but something even less likely: that elusive thing called family.

Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet (Audiobook)

Author: George Monbiot
Narrator: George Monbiot
For the first time since the Neolithic, we have the opportunity to transform not only our food system but our entire relationship to the living world. Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across 30 times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry. Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet.

English | ASIN: B0B3SM4B1P | 2022 | 12 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 346 MB
Author: Chloe Sorvino
Narrator: Allyson Ryan
A shocking and unpauseable exposé of the United States meat industry, the devastating failures of the country's food system, and the growing disappointment of alternative meat producers claiming to revolutionize the future of food. Well before COVID-19 swept across the United States and the chairman of Tyson Foods infamously declared that the food supply chain was dangerously vulnerable, America's meat industry was reaching a breaking point. Years of consolidation, price-fixing, and power grabs by elite industry insiders have harmed consumers and caused environmental destruction. Americans have no idea where their meat comes from. And while that's hurting us, it's also making others rich. Now, financial journalist Chloe Sorvino presents an expansive view of the meat industry and its future as its fundamental weaknesses are laid bare for all to see. With unprecedented access and in-depth research, Raw Deal investigates corporate greed, how climate change will upend our food production, and the limitations of local movements challenging the status quo.

Purple Crayons: The Art of Drawing a Life (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09TWXNBTR | 2022 | 4 hours and 43 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 136 MB
Author: Ross Ellenhorn
Narrator: Kaleo Griffith
In 1955, Crockett Johnson introduced one of the world's most beloved and enduring young adventurers, Harold and his purple crayon. Today, we need Harold and his penchant for creative solutions more than ever. In Purple Crayons, Ross Ellenhorn looks to Johnson's classic for insights and answers that can help us understand our current condition and point the way toward solutions for healing. Purple Crayons tells a story about America then and now, about living one's life as art; about the powers that block us from doing so, about the pull and perils of conformity; about serious play and too much seriousness, about what it means to feel alive inside and what deadens our existence. It's also about 1955 in America, all that lay before and-presciently-all that lay ahead, as each of us struggles to draw meaningful and resilient existences on the blank pages-the future yet unlived-of our lives.
