Free Download Long Road from Jarrow: A journey through Britain then and now (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B071WT6JVR | 2017 | 12 hours and 21 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 348 MB
Author: Stuart Maconie
Narrator: Stuart Maconie
In the autumn of 1936, some 200 men from the Tyneside town of Jarrow marched 300 miles to London in protest against the destruction of their towns and industries. Precisely 80 years on, Stuart Maconie walks from north to south, retracing the route of the emblematic Jarrow Crusade. Following history's footsteps, Maconie is in search of what modern Britain is really like today. Travelling down the country's spine, Maconie moves through a land that is, in some ways, very much the same as the England of the '30s, with its political turbulence, austerity, north/south divide, food banks and, of course, football mania.

Narrator: Sarah Harkness
From an impoverished childhood in the Scottish highlands to Victorian London, this is the inspiring story of brothers Daniel and Alexander Macmillan who built a publishing empire - and brought Alice in Wonderland to the world. Their remarkable achievements are revealed in this entertaining, superbly researched biography. Daniel and Alexander arrived in London in the 1830s at a crucial moment of social change. These two idealistic brothers, working-class sons of a Scottish crofter, went on to set up a publishing house that spread radical ideas on equality, science and education across the world. They also brought authors like Lewis Carroll, Thomas Hardy and Charles Kingsley, and poets like Matthew Arnold and Christina Rossetti, to a mass audience. No longer would books be just for the upper classes.

Free Download Like Love: Essays and Conversations (Audiobook)
English | April 16, 2024 | ASIN: B0CY7K6VF8 | M4B@128 kbps | 11h 59m | 668 MB
Author: Maggie Nelson | Narrator: Senn Annis
A career-spanning collection of inspiring, revelrous essays about art and artists
Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes, and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide-from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker-but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression, and perversity; the roles of the critic and of language in relation to visual and performance arts; forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.

Author: Laura Tamblyn Watts
Narrator: Erin deWard
Should my mom move into a retirement home? Does my dad have dementia? And how on earth can I get my stepmom to give up her car keys? Worries like these can plague people with older relatives. Author Laura Tamblyn Watts understands: Her own parents are in their eighties, and she's spent her career informing others about aging people's needs. Tamblyn Watts outfits listeners with twenty-seven prompts and roadmaps for informed, honest conversations with their aging parent-or family members, health care providers, and other professionals. She covers questions like: Does my parent need help around the house? What kind of medical issues should we look out for? Do I really need to help my parent if they're toxic? How can my family share the caregiving load? How to have the discussion is just as important as what needs to be discussed, so each chapter has tips for navigating complicated emotions and reaching an agreement when everyone has different ideas. Listeners will get informed, have a productive conversation, and make a plan-then focus on making the most of their time with their aging relative.

Author: Patrick Grant
Narrator: Patrick Grant
We used to care a lot about our clothes. We didn't have many but those we had were important to us. We'd cherish them, repair them and pass them on. And making them provided fulfilling work for millions of skilled people locally. Today the average person has nearly five times as many clothes as they did just 50 years ago. Last year, 100 billion garments were produced worldwide, most made from oil, 30% of which were not even sold, and the equivalent of one bin lorry full of clothing is dumped in landfill or burned every single second. Our wardrobes are full to bursting with clothes we never wear so why do we keep buying more?
