When a third family is pulled into the mystery, they quickly learn their nightmare is just beginning.

Free Download Urban Jungle: The History and Future of Nature in the City (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B645FLT8 | 2023 | 9 hours and 29 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 261 MB
Author: Ben Wilson
Narrator: John Sackville
In this exhilarating look at cities, past and future, Ben Wilson proposes that, in our world of rising seas and threatening weather, the natural world may prove the city's savior. Since the beginning of civilization, humans have built cities to wall nature out, then glorified it in beloved but quite artificial parks. In Urban Jungle Ben Wilson-the author, a seven-thousand-year history of cities that the Wall Street Journal called "a towering achievement"-looks to the fraught relationship between nature and the city for clues to how the planet can survive in an age of climate crisis. Whether it was the market farmers of Paris, Germans in medieval forest cities, or the Aztecs in the floating city of Tenochtitlan, pre-modern humans had an essential bond with nature.

English | ASIN: B0B5YJR3M4 | 2023 | 8 hours and 18 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 228 MB
Author: Rebecca Boggs Roberts
Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld
A nuanced portrait of the first acting woman president, written with fresh and cinematic verve by a leading historian on women's suffrage and power. While this nation has yet to elect its first woman president-and though history has downplayed her role-just over a century ago a woman became the nation's first acting president. In fact, she was born in 1872, and her name was Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. She climbed her way out of Appalachian poverty and into the highest echelons of American power and in 1919 effectively acted as the first woman president of the U.S. (before women could even vote nationwide) when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, was incapacitated.

Free Download Understanding Cognitive Biases [TTC Audio]
English | January 06, 2023 | ASIN: B0BRQXCX2N | M4B@128 kbps | 10h 51m | 610 MB
Lecturer: Alexander B. Swan
As you read this sentence, your brain has just processed about 20 million bits of information. In fact, every second of every day, your brain processes about 11 million bits. And yet, that astonishing number just isn't enough to get you through your day. Consequently, your brain takes some shortcuts-and it's those shortcuts, called heuristics, that make it all work. Some shortcuts are completely benign and helpful-such as your ability to recognize your child even if half his face is in shadow or your ability to imagine tomorrow even though you will never actually see it.
The shortcuts of cognitive biases, however-when the brain fills in gaps of solid, reliable information with a lot of guesswork for efficiency's sake-can lead to errors of memory and judgment and cause faulty decision-making with unintended, even dire, consequences. For example, take confirmation bias. This tendency to consider only information that confirms our existing beliefs can cause us to make incorrect assumptions about the cause of a coworker's behavior, misinterpret experimental data, or even make disastrous engineering decisions resulting in loss of life.

Author: Nick Groom
Narrator: Mike Grady
What is it about Middle-Earth and its inhabitants that has captured the imagination of millions of people around the world?

Beginning with Tolkien's earliest influences and drawing on key moments from his life, Twenty-First-Century Tolkien is an engaging and radical reinterpretation of the beloved author's work. Not only does it trace the genesis of the original books, it also explores the later adaptations and reworkings that cemented his reputation as a cultural phenomenon, including Peter Jackson's blockbuster films of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and the highly anticipated TV series The Rings of Power. Delving deep into topics such as friendship, failure, the environment, diversity, and Tolkien's place in a post-COVID age, Nick Groom takes us on an unexpected journey through Tolkien's world, revealing how it is more relevant now than ever before.
