Fowl Play: A History of the Chicken from Dinosaur to Dinner Plate (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BMHXMMFD | 2022 | 6 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 192 MB
Author: Sally Coulthard
Narrator: Sally Coulthard
From dinosaur to dinner plate, Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating - and sometimes shocking - story of the domestic chicken. Earth is home to 23 billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. Despite being capable of flying only a few metres, this most adaptable animal has somehow managed to conquer the world. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard probes every aspect of the genus Gallus: the evolution and domestication of the chicken; its social life and startling variety, from tiny Bantams to gigantic Buff Orpintons, prolific egg-layers to pampered show birds; the hen and the cockerel's importance in ancient Roman augury, medieval superstition and Christian theology; its starring role as a symbol of rustic life; and the darker reality of modern poultry farming and society's insatiable appetite for chicken breasts, wings and nuggets. Throughout history, chickens have been both worshipped and ridiculed, loved and loathed. From its dinosaurian beginnings to modern fast food, this is the ultimate tale of humankind's strange, and often paradoxical, relationship with nature.

Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09V1Z579S | 2022 | 8 hours and 43 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 204 MB
Author: Paul Greenberg
Narrator: Christopher Lane
Acclaimed author of American Catch and The Omega Princple and life-long fisherman, Paul Greenberg takes us on a journey, examining the four fish that dominate our menus: salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. Investigating the forces that get fish to our dinner tables, Greenberg reveals our damaged relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants. Just three decades ago, nearly everything we ate from the sea was wild. Today, rampant overfishing and an unprecedented biotech revolution have brought us to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex marketplace. Four Fish offers a way for us to move toward a future in which healthy and sustainable seafood is the rule rather than the exception.

Forgiveness: An Alternative Account (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BM58725Y | 2022 | 12 hours and 50 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 354 MB
Author: Matthew Ichihashi Potts
Narrator: Roman Howell
A deeply researched and poignant reflection on the practice of forgiveness in an unforgiving world. In this sensitive and probing book, Matthew Ichihashi Potts explores the complex moral terrain of forgiveness, which he claims has too often served as a salve to the conscience of power rather than as an instrument of healing or justice. Though forgiveness is often linked with reconciliation or the abatement of anger, Potts resists these associations, asserting instead that forgiveness is simply the refusal of retaliatory violence through practices of penitence and grief. It is an act of mourning irrevocable wrong, of refusing the false promises of violent redemption, and of living in and with the losses we cannot recover.

Folk Music: A Bob Dylan Biography in Seven Songs (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BGMGN674 | 2022 | 7 hours and 37 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 194 MB
Author: Greil Marcus
Narrator: Ian Porter
Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to "see myself in others." Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy-his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists' Theory No Longer Explains Everything. Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called "Intelligent Design." Intelligent planning is suspected behind this.

Euromissiles-intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be used exclusively in the regional theater of war-highlighted how the peoples of Europe were dangerously placed between hammer and anvil. At the center of the story is NATO. Colbourn highlights the weakness of the alliance seen by many as the most effective bulwark against Soviet aggression.
