Author: Taylor Wolfe
Narrator: Taylor Wolfe

The funny and poignant story of one woman’s wonderfully codependent relationship with her dog-and what he taught her about chosen family and the reward of motherhood. Birdie & Harlow is the story of a baby and a dog. But motherhood is never quite that simple. In Taylor Wolfe’s case, it’s a long, zigzagging and winding road. Meant to be a last-minute anniversary gift for her then boyfriend (and now husband), the highly energetic and loud-mouthed Vizla puppy named Harlow turns out to be the best snap decision twenty-year-old Taylor ever makes-and the beginning of the most epic friendship she ever has.

English | ASIN: B0CDJQ2GX1 | 2023 | 7 hours and 9 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 396 MB
Author: Sarah Ruden
Narrator: Suzanne Toren

A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid. The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70-19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the Aeneid, was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, who published the epic despite Vergil’s dying wish that it be destroyed. Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct his life. Through her intimate knowledge of Vergil’s work, she brings to life a poet who was committed to creating something astonishingly new and memorable, even at great personal cost.

Author: Alexander BatthyƔny
Narrator: Eric Meyers

Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people-including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia-experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death. In this remarkable audiobook, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander BatthyĆ”ny offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death. Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life’s-and death’s-most provocative mysteries.

The Ultimate Engineer The Remarkable Life of NASA’s Visionary Leader George M. Low


Free Download The Ultimate Engineer: The Remarkable Life of NASA’s Visionary Leader George M. Low by Richard Jurek, Gerald D. Griffin – foreword, Mike Chamberlain
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B087MZQ38T | M4B@32 Kbps | Duration: 10:49 h | 149 Mb
Described as the "ultimate engineer" during his career at NASA, George M. Low was a visionary architect and leader from the agency’s inception in 1958 to his retirement in 1976. As chief of manned spaceflight at NASA, Low was instrumental in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Low’s pioneering work paved the way for President Kennedy’s decision to make a lunar landing NASA’s primary goal in the 1960s. After the tragic 1967 Apollo 1 fire that took the lives of three astronauts and almost crippled the program, Low took charge of the redesign of the Apollo spacecraft, and he helped lead the program from disaster and toward the moon. Under Low there were five manned missions, including Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing.
Low’s clandestine negotiations with the Soviet Union resulted in a historic joint mission in 1975 that was the precursor to the Shuttle-Mir and International Space Station programs. At the end of his NASA career, Low was one of the leading figures in the development of the space shuttle in the early 1970s, and he was instrumental in NASA’s transition into a post-Apollo world. Afterward, he embarked on a distinguished career in higher education as a transformational president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, his alma mater.
