Publisher: Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc.

Summary:
This is the story of one woman's life-long interaction with beings from another world, and her journey to go beyond the fear to find meaning and purpose. In this book she explores the abduction experience and shares with you the three important things they insisted she learn.
"This is my story. I cannot prove any of it. For years I was encouraged to write about these experiences, but I resisted. This is not an easy story for me to write, and it might not be easy for you to read or believe. I understand that... This book is not only a recounting of my experiences but also the story of how I discovered that, like most things, it is possible to turn the worst thing in your life into something positive just by choosing to look at it from a different perspective." -from the author.

Author: James F. Dunnigan, Austin Bay
Narrator: Stephen Hoye
Format: Unabridged
Length: 27 hrs and 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-14-14
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
The first three editions of A Quick and Dirty Guide to War not only provided essential tools for understanding wars and hot spots around the world, they delivered remarkably accurate projections on the outcomes of each conflict. War-game simulation specialists James F. Dunnigan and Austin Bay have revised their highly regarded analyses, bringing up to date not only the many conventional conflicts around the world today but the new battlegrounds that have emerged since the previous edition was published more than a decade ago - the Global War on Terror, counterinsurgency struggles around the world and the latest frontier of modern combat: cyber war. This fourth edition takes up where the last edition left off and analyzes the monumental events that have occurred since 1996 - September 11, the toppling of Saddam Hussein and the ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - while guiding listeners through dozens of other significant developments around the globe, including the tinderbox situation with Iran and oil flow through the Persian Gulf; the final disintegration of Yugoslavia; the struggle for regional influence between Brazil, Colombia and Hugo Chvez's Venezuela; Israel's attempts to deal with a fragmented Palestine Liberation Organization; China and India's growing influence in Asia and beyond; ongoing chaos and suffering on the Horn of Africa; Russia's struggle to reassert itself on the world stage; and much more. Dunnigan and Bay present an enormous amount of information in a series of concise, insightful briefings coupled with their shrewd projections of potential outcomes, making A Quick and Dirty Guide to War a thought-provoking reference on the face of war in the 21st century.

Title: The Killing of Karen Silkwood
Author: Richard Rashke
Narrator: Karen White
Format: Unabridged
Length: 15 hrs and 48 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-12-14
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:
Karen Silkwood, an employee of the Kerr-McGee plutonium processing plant, was killed in a car crash on her way to deliver important documents to a newspaper reporter in 1974. Silkwood was a union activist concerned about health and safety issues at the plant, and her death at age 28 was considered by many to be highly suspicious. Was it Kerr-McGee's revenge on a troublesome whistle-blower? Or was it part of a much larger conspiracy reaching from the Atomic Energy Commission to the FBI and the CIA?
Richard Rashke leads us through the myriad of charges and countercharges, theories and facts, and reaches conclusions based solely on the evidence in hand. Originally published in 1981, his audiobook offers a vivid, edgy picture of the tensions that racked this country in the 1970s. However, the volume is not only an important historical document. Complex, fascinating characters populate this compelling insider's view of the nuclear industry. The issues it explores - whistle-blowers, worker safety, the environment, and nuclear vulnerability - have not lost relevance today, 26 years after Silkwood's white Honda Civic was found trapped in a concrete culvert near Oklahoma City. For this second edition, Rashke has added a preface and three short chapters that explore what has been learned about Silkwood since the book's original publication, explain what happened to the various actors in the drama, and discuss the long-term effects of the events around Silkwood's death.

Title: The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone
Author: John A. Keel
Narrator: Pete Ferrand
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 35 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-10-14
Publisher: Andrew B. Colvin
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:
New Saucerian Press proudly presents The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone, a collection of magazine articles and lectures by John A. Keel, the man many consider to have been not only the premiere investigator of all things unusual and "Fortean", but who was also our very own, 20th-century "Mark Twain". Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind and Searching for the String, were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keel's classic books. Written in Keel's engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality.
In these pages, John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis - much of it written almost 50 years ago - Keel shreds most of the sacred-cow beliefs still held by many in ufological and "cryptozoological" circles today, and presents theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the "4-D" or "interdimensional" thesis; the "breakaway civilization" theory; the possible role of "ancient aliens" in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many "alien abduction" and "Men in Black" encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans.
In short, The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone is witty, incisive, impassioned, and prescient, and cohesively brings Keel's message into focus in a way that perhaps no other book has.

Language: English
Release date: 11-06-14
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:
The infamous Canterbury Estate in Bradford, a hotbed of crime, drink and drugs, was a law unto itself in the '70s.
So when one of their own was wronged in any way, the community always had its own way of dealing with it.
The first title in a series of gritty family sagas, Our Vinnie accounts the dramatic true story of a brother's determination to avenge his younger sister's rape. Josie was just 11 when her Vinnie, then 14, was taken away to a detention centre. Distraught by his absence and left alone with indifferent parents, when she escapes from one of their rows she naively enters the house of a neighbour, Melvin, who - horrifically - leads her upstairs and overpowers her.
Convinced by her friend Carol, Josie tells her sister Lyndsey about the rape but, with Vinnie out of the picture, Lyndsey uses the information for her own ends. When Vinnie returns, hardened by years inside the system, his outrage on discovering the truth is severe. And with new abuses continually coming to light, a cataclysmic series of violent events begins to spiral out of control
Dramatic and shocking, Our Vinnie is an unbelievable page-turner, documenting a community forsaken by society, and one brother's unrelenting determination to take justice into his own hands.

Title: Collapse
Author: Jared Diamond
Narrator: Michael Prichard
Format: Unabridged
Length: 27 hrs and 2 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-04-14
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
In Jared Diamonds follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize winning Guns, Germs and Steel, the author explores how climate change, the population explosion, and political discord create the conditions for the collapse of civilization.
Environmental damage, climate change, globalization, rapid population growth, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of societies around the world, but some found solutions and persisted. As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Collapse moves from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own societys apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana.
Brilliant, illuminating, and immensely absorbing, Collapse is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid committing ecological suicide?

Title: True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood
Author: David Domine
Narrator: Marcus Freeman
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-03-14
Publisher: David Domine
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:
The most haunted neighborhood in America? That's what many are calling Old Louisville, an extensive preservation district with hundreds of old mansions and beautiful homes in Kentucky's largest city. Wherever you go in this eye-popping neighborhood, it seems that a haunted house is not far away. Or a haunted church, a haunted street corner, or a haunted park. Over the last decade, so many stories of paranormal activity have surfaced that Old Louisville has gained the reputation as being one of the spookiest locations in the country. David Dominé discovered this for himself after purchasing an old home on Old Louisville's famed Millionaires Row in 1999.
A self-proclaimed skeptic, the food writer dismissed rumors of a mischievous resident poltergeist named Lucy when he moved in, but he quickly found himself at a loss to explain the disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors that seemed to plague the old house. Soon, he was talking to neighbors and fellow homeowners, and it seemed that everyone had stories of strange events and supernatural occurrences in their own dwellings. As a result, David set out to document and research these reports and began writing about the neighborhood; in the process he uncovered a wealth of fascinating history and ghostly tales that convinced him this historic neighborhood is like no other in the country. If you liked David Dominé's Ghosts of Old Louisville series, you'll love True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood. Edited and updated, this collection brings together the most popular and chilling tales from his previous books about one of the most fascinating neighborhoods in the country.

Title: Inside the Prophecies of Mothman
Author: Andrew Colvin
Narrator: Teri Clark Linden
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-31-14
Publisher: Andrew B. Colvin
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:
Spurred by the realization that the 9/11 attacks were accurately predicted - in 1967 - by a childhood friend who was seeing Mothman, Seattle artist Andy Colvin began filming a reality series, "The Mothmans Photographer," documenting his experiences growing up in Mound, West Virginia.
Inside the Prophecies of Mothman chronicles the thoughts and feelings of several Mothman experiencers in the years immediately following the attacks (2002-2007). These revealing letters, penned during a wave of odd synchronicities, sightings, and encounters, indicate that Mothman may be a guardian angel of mind-bending proportions.
Interwoven with these personal diaries are replies and other posts from Colvin, which reach back into the mysterious history of the Ohio Valley, providing not only a fuller context for the phenomenon, but also illustrations of how the paranormal and the media work together to help form public opinion and belief.
In their thought-provoking attempts to figure out just what Mothman might be up to, Colvin and company look at every possible myth, legend, and conspiracy theory they can find, leading the reader on a wild, entertaining, and often poignant ride into high-strangeness.

Title: Should We Ignore the Reviewers Versus Authors Wars?
Author: James M. Lowrance
Narrator: Phil Williams
Format: Unabridged
Length: 48 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-30-14
Publisher: James M. Lowrance Publishing
Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Summary:
There have been blogs created addressing both sides of the "authors-reviewers wars" issue, being that of authors feeling that some reviews are going overboard by including attack type language within them. Some authors on the other hand, are not willing to receive critical reviews of any kind, even those that are written in a straightforward, honest fashion but that include some strongly-dissatisfied language within them (something I have been falsely accused of complaining about). Anyone - and I do mean "anyone", who does not see that there literally are two extremes that exist within the author and reviewer arena, either are in purposeful denial or they simply aren't paying attention. There are in fact authors who can't take even honestly-offered criticism and who actually attack reviewers for giving them an unfavorable review.

Language: English
Release date: 10-28-14
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
Fashion is many things. It is self-expression, big business, trend-setting, a lifestyle choice. But however you see fashion, it relies on one simple characteristic: the incredible speed with which clothes make their journey from the drawing board to the High Street hanger. Fashion is fast. Fast fashion influences the types of garments we have in our wardrobes. It also describes the complex, multi-national supply chain that links the shirt on your back to the crowded, creaking factories in the worlds slums where clothes are made by a workforce numbering in the tens of millions. The manufacturing pressures that come from our deep love of incredibly cheap, incredibly current fashions were shot to global attention in 2013 when the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital city, collapsed in a cascade of tumbling rubble, twisted metal and trapped bodies. Over 1,100 people died, mainly young women.
We Are What We Wear is the story of what happened in Bangladesh and how fast fashion has grown to become the giant that it is today. The intimate accounts from the survivors of the collapse are mixed with an exploration of the history of fast fashion and of how the High Street both fuels and satisfies our every fashion wish. Award-winning reporter Jason Burke picks his way through the day of the collapse, while fashion and consumer expert Lucy Siegle looks at what has happened since - and what needs to happen next.

And what does it tell us about ourselves? In The Art of the English Murder, Lucy Worsley explores this phenomenon in forensic detail, revisiting notorious crimes like the Ratcliff Highway Murders, which caused a nationwide panic in the early 19th century, and the case of Frederick and Maria Manning, the suburban couple who were hanged after killing Maria's lover and burying him under their kitchen floor. Our fascination with crimes like these became a form of national entertainment, inspiring novels and plays, prose and paintings, poetry and true-crime journalism. The Art of the English Murder is a unique exploration of the art of crime - and a riveting investigation into the English criminal soul.

Title: Tinseltown
Author: William J. Mann
Narrator: Christopher Lane
Format: Unabridged
Length: 15 hrs and 55 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-14-14
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:
The Day of the Locust meets The Devil in the White City and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in this juicy, untold Hollywood story: an addictive true account of ambition, scandal, intrigue, murder, and the creation of the modern film industry.
By 1920, the movies had suddenly become America's new favorite pastime and one of the nation's largest industries. Never before had a medium possessed such power to influence; yet Hollywood's glittering ascendancy was threatened by a string of headline-grabbing tragedies - including the murder of William Desmond Taylor, the popular president of the Motion Picture Directors Association, a legendary crime that has remained unsolved until now.
In a fiendishly involving narrative, best-selling Hollywood chronicler William J. Mann draws on a rich host of sources, including recently released FBI files, to uncover the story of the enigmatic Taylor and the diverse group of people who surrounded him - including three beautiful, ambitious actresses; a grasping stage mother; a devoted valet; and a gang of two-bit thugs, any of whom might have fired the fatal bullet. And overseeing this entire landscape of intrigue was Adolph Zukor, the brilliant and ruthless founder of Paramount Pictures, locked in a struggle for control of the industry and desperate to conceal the truth about the crime. Along the way, Mann brings to life Los Angeles in the Roaring Twenties: a sparkling yet schizophrenic town filled with party girls, drug dealers, religious zealots, newly minted legends, and starlets already past their prime - a dangerous place where the powerful could still run afoul of the desperate.
A true story recreated with the suspense of a novel, Tinseltown is the work of a storyteller at the peak of his powers - and the solution to a crime that has stumped detectives and historians for nearly a century.

Narrator: Roger Wayne
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-13-14
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:
On August 13, 1986, just one day after his 32nd birthday, Michael Morton went to work at his usual time. By the end of the day, his wife Christine had been savagely bludgeoned to death in the couple's bed - and the Williamson County Sherriff's office in Texas wasted no time in pinning her murder on Michael, despite an absolute lack of physical evidence. Michael was swiftly sentenced to life in prison for a crime he had not committed. Drawing on 25 years of recollections, court transcripts, and more than 1000 pages of personal journals he wrote in prison, Michael recounts the hidden police reports about an unidentified van parked near his house that were never pursued; the treasure trove of evidence, including a bandana with the killer's DNA on it, that was never introduced in court; the call from a neighboring county reporting the attempted use of his wife's credit card that was given to local police; and, ultimately, how Michael battled his way through the darkness to become a free man once again.

Title: The Dark Art
Author: Edward Follis, Douglas Century
Narrator: Ray Porter
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-07-14
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:
A highly decorated veteran agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration recounts his incredible undercover career and reveals the shocking links between narcotics trafficking, and terrorism
"It always ends with one phone call. Months - often years - of undercover work comes to fruition with an innocent-seeming conversation. The last call. One last call to set them up; one last call to bring them down."
Over the course of his 27 years with the DEA, Ed Follis bought eight-balls of cocaine in a red Corvette, negotiated multimillion-dollar deals onboard private King Airs, and developed covert relationships with men who were not only international drug traffickers but - in some cases - operatives for al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Shan United Army, or the Mexican federation of cartels.
Follis was, in fact, one of the driving forces behind the agency's radical shift from a limited local focus to a global arena. In the early '90s, the DEA was primarily known for doing street-level busts evocative of Miami Vice. Today, it uses high-resolution optics surveillance and classified cutting-edge technology to put the worst narco-terror kingpins on the business end of "stealth justice" delivered via Predator drone pilots.
Spanning five continents and filled with harrowing storiesabout the world's most ruthless drug lords and terrorist networks, Follis' memoir reads like a thriller. Yet every word is true, and every story is documented. Follis earned a Medal of Valor for his work, and coauthor DouglasCentury is a pro at shaping and telling just this kind of story.
The first and only insider's account of the confluence between narco-trafficking and terrorist organizations, The Dark Art is a pause-resisting memoir that will electrify you from page one.

Title: The Case for the UFO
Author: Dr. M.K. Jessup
Narrator: Jack Chekijian
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-03-14
Publisher: Andrew B. Colvin
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:
This is the first ever reprint of the book that brought the entire legend of the Philadelphia Experiment into the public sphere, and created controversy for decades: The Case for the UFO! Why has this book been suppressed for so many years? It is a well-reasoned review of the UFO record by an eminent astromomer, mathematician, and archaeologist, Dr. M.K. Jessup. His conclusions are breathtaking and incredible, but inescapable.
Description from the original dust jacket:
Flying saucers are not new! For thousands of years, men have seen mysterious objects in the skies. Now, a prominent scientists proves that unidentified flying objects originate here, on Earth.
If you have ever wondered about the things today's scientists do not, will not, or cannot explain, this audiobook is for you. Such questions might be:
What is the hidden meaning of the comet's tail?
What caused the Devil's Footprints of Devonshire?
Why are we wrong to think of space flight only in terms of rocket power?
How was a soldier teleported from the Phillippine Islands to Mexico City within one hour?
What force lifted 1200-ton stones in ancient Peru?
How is acceleration achieved by UFOs?
What caused the disappearance of the crews of the SS Sea Bird and the Marie Celeste?
Was the secret of space flight known 50,000 years ago?
What is the strange truth hidden in the ancient ruins of Baalbek?
And finally, and most importantly: Are the UFOs friend, or foe?
This is the original edition of The Case for the UFO, which does not include the scrawled annotations of the infamous Carlos Allende (who may or may not have tormented Jessup into committing suicide). You will find this version much easier to understand than the Varo Edition, and probably much more meaningful.

Title: Putin's Kleptocracy
Author: Karen Dawisha
Narrator: Robert Petkoff
Format: Unabridged
Length: 14 hrs and 24 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-30-14
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions. Karen Dawishas brilliant Putins Kleptocracy provides an answer, describing how Putin got to power, the cabal he brought with him, the billions they have looted, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia.
Russian scholar Dawisha describes and exposes the origins of Putins kleptocratic regime. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circles use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya, now sanctioned by the US; the rise of the Ozero cooperative, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes; the links between Putin, Petromed, and "Putins Palace" near Sochi; and the role of security officials from Putins KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime.
Putins Kleptocracy is the result of years of research into the KGB and the various thriving Russian crime syndicates. Dawishas sources include Stasi archives; Russian insiders; investigative journalists in the US, Britain, Germany, Finland, France, and Italy; and Western officials who served in Moscow. Russian journalists wrote part of this story when the Russian media was still free. "Many of them died for this story, and their work has largely been scrubbed from the Internet, and even from Russian libraries," Dawisha says. "But some of that work remains."

Title: Your Ticket to Utopia
Author: Michael Mathiesen
Narrator: Michael Mathiesen
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-30-14
Publisher: Michael Mathiesen
Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Summary:
Your Ticket to Utopia is a chance to participate in the greatest social experiment of all time, renaming the USA to the UUSA, the United and Utopian States of America. More important than the naming will be form of government that we choose. In the Utopia TV Show on the Fox Channel, the early pioneers immediately adopted a real Democracy and voted directly on the issues of the day. Can we do the same thing in the UUSA? Join to find out and support the movement toward real democracy in America where the people regain control over our country and begin to redirect our fate back to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
We need every thinking American to download this app, give it all the attention in deserves, spread the word about the new version of America that is dedicated to becoming more like a Utopia rather than the state of dictatorship that we now endure. Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.
At present we suffer a nation that is run by about 200 men in suits who also run the largest multi-national corporations. Even a foreign corporation such as Saudi Arabian Oil has more say over what happens in American than the average citizen or even the Congress whom we elect to office. Because as soon as they arrive, they begin their fundraising activities instead of paying attention to the problems at hand, debating them, and arriving at a solution that is free from the influence of the people who they just partied with at their fundraisers.
In the Utopian States of America, every American would have one vote that they would expend online for National Ballot Measures and in that way, everyone would be represented equally, no more lobbyists, no more fundraising, not even any need for Congress or the President to be forced into an "Executive Order".

Narrator: Michael Fenton Stevens
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-25-14
Publisher: Random House Audiobooks
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
With a foreword by Neil Gaiman
Terry Pratchett has earned a place in the hearts of listeners the world over with his best-selling Discworld series - but in recent years he has become equally well-known and respected as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimers research and animal rights.
A Slip of the Keyboard brings together for the first time the finest examples of Pratchetts nonfiction writing, both serious and surreal: from musings on mushrooms to what it means to be a writer (and why banana daiquiris are so important); from memories of Granny Pratchett to speculation about Gandalfs love life, and passionate defences of the causes dear to him.
With all the humour and humanity that have made his novels so enduringly popular, this collection brings Pratchett out from behind the scenes of the Discworld to speak for himself - man and boy, bibliophile and computer geek, champion of hats, orangutans and Dignity in Dying.

Jessup submitted the material in this book to his publisher as part of his manuscript for The Expanding Case for the UFO. However, in a classic case of censorship, the material was rejected and returned to him, for possible use in a separate book. Luckily, Jessup arranged to have the separate book printed, with a lovely color cover (expensive for that time), so that we today may enjoy its mind-boggling implications.

Title: The Underground Girls of Kabul
Author: Jenny Nordberg
Narrator: Kirsten Potter
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 56 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-16-14
Publisher: Random House Audio
Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:
An investigative journalist uncovers a hidden custom that will transform your understanding of what it means to grow up as a girl.
In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, the birth of a son is cause for celebration and the arrival of a daughter is often mourned as misfortune. A bacha posh (literally translated from Dari as dressed up like a boy) is a third kind of child - a girl temporarily raised as a boy and presented as such to the outside world. Jenny Nordberg, the reporter who broke the story of this phenomenon for the New York Times, constructs a powerful and moving account of those secretly living on the other side of a deeply segregated society where women have almost no rights and little freedom.
The Underground Girls of Kabul is anchored by vivid characters who bring this remarkable story to life: Azita, a female parliamentarian who sees no other choice but to turn her fourth daughter Mehran into a boy; Zahra, the tomboy teenager who struggles with puberty and refuses her parents attempts to turn her back into a girl; Shukria, now a married mother of three after living for 20 years as a man; and Nader, who prays with Shahed, the undercover female police officer, as they both remain in male disguise as adults.
At the heart of this emotional narrative is a new perspective on the extreme sacrifices of Afghan women and girls against the violent backdrop of Americas longest war. Divided into four parts, the book follows those born as the unwanted sex in Afghanistan, but who live as the socially favored gender through childhood and puberty, only to later be forced into marriage and childbirth. The Underground Girls of Kabul charts their dramatic life cycles, while examining our own history and the parallels to subversive actions of people who live under oppression everywhere.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-12-14
Publisher: Tom Slemen
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:
Best-selling author Tom Slemen spent years researching and compiling the stories and reports for this book, which delves into the eternal subject of vampires. If you thought that vampires were only found within the Twilight films and the pages of Anne Rice's books, think again. Tom shows us that they can, and do, turn up in the most ordinary and extraordinary places, from suburban bedrooms, kitchens, disused coalmines and royal castles to an iceberg adrift in the frozen wastes of the North Atlantic ocean.
And if you thought that all vampires had the same modus operandum, think again! It is true that many vampire attacks do fit the classic formula of a cloaked stranger sucking the blood from a young woman victim, and you will find several examples of such attacks in Vampires, but what about those who like to feast on new born babies, or who can change shape at will? Nor do all vampires suck their victims' blood, instead siphoning off their very life force, leaving them drained of all energy.
No - this is not fiction, but meticulously-researched fact. Whether writing about the ancient Egyptian vampiress, Sekhmet, or Black Tom the highwayman turned vampire who terrorised the county of Dorset for over three hundred years, Tom Slemen has the unerring ability to seek out tales of the paranormal and retell them with chilling lucidity. If you are genuinely interested in vampires, and are not of a nervous disposition, listen to this book!

Release date: 09-12-14
Publisher: OnCourse, LLC
Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Summary:
This audiobook is about young people between the ages of 15 to 25, their destructive path, and what we can do to save them! Everyone seems to be accusatory toward the youth and call them a lost generation. However, society may have forgotten that they have contributed to some of the trends that are witnessed among the youth - be it the church, parents, or the politicians. The moral debauchery among the youth cannot be talked about without mention of these things. The youth themselves think that they are not to blame for this predicament. It is too unfortunate that western lifestyle is replacing the traditional family structure in which children would be educated about important issues that affect them. It is apparent that the generation born between 1987 and 1997 is suffering from an identity crisis, thus lacking the confidence to take charge of their destiny. Some of the issues that contribute to the issues that we are discussing here are:
It is quite evident that the younger generation consists of people with no vision, no goals, no purpose, and people who care less about their future and who have lost hope in life. However, if we just sit back and watch without doing anything to improve the situation, it will only make matters worse and eventually, we will have to clean up the mess that they cause.
