From Pulitzer Prize finalist Ben Montgomery, the story of a Texas man who, during the Great Depression, walked around the world -- backwards. Like most Americans at the time, Plennie Wingo was hit hard by the effects of the Great Depression. When the bank foreclosed on his small restaurant in...

David Metcalf is trying to survive after the lights went out and the aircraft circling the Dallas and Forth Worth metro area fell to earth. With nothing to stop the firestorm that ensues, the city and neighboring suburbs burn.

Like her 2011 book of a similarly-epic long trek around Lake Michigan, this grand hike on the shores of five magnificent bodies of freshwater explores the natural and human history of the Great Lakes, while raising important questions about preserving our wild places and protecting fragile ecosystems on which we all depend.

In 2009, Loreen Niewenhuis walked completely around Lake Michigan. This audiobook chronicles that journey, a 1,000-mile walk around the world's fifth-largest lake. The audiobook explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person - a woman, married, mother of two sons (who joined her for portions of the walk). But most of the walk was done solo, an adventure in discovery of self and place. Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she loves, a place so elemental to the four Midwestern states that form its shores.

It is the year 2037, and Stan Rhodes is the American captain of Endurance III, a V-shaped spacecraft on the last leg of a 56-million-kilometer journey to Mars. Crucial to the success of the Mars mission is that Rhodes and his crew land their ship within 10 kilometers of an emergency ascent vehicle and a cargo ship that had previously landed on the surface of the Red Planet. They succeed in landing at the designated site. But when they reach the cargo ship, they discover unknown architectural wonders from an ancient civilization.

He had not always been such a lost cause. Not long before life was consumed by the poisonous chemicals that pumped through an addict's body, he was an active participant in what was considered society; with a beautiful wife, a home, a decent career. To an outside observer, life seemed perfect. But this story isn't a happily-ever-after fairy tale. It's the darkest parts of life, an internal battle of demons and, maybe, redemption.

Initially, the story starts in the fall in Washington, DC, but progresses to a small island off the coast of Maine, a small community in South Carolina, and finally ends up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania in time for the Christmas holidays. Wealthy reporter Simon Wilde is a former US Navy SEAL who uses his position to cover his covert action for a secret world enforcement agency.

Sixteen-year-old Luke was trapped in Chicago when the lights went out and civilization began to unravel. Determined to get home to his family, Luke begins a 1,000-mile odyssey that will show him the depths of human depravity while also giving him a chance at redemption. In an abandoned house in Missouri, Luke makes a discovery that changes the way he acts and feels, as the suffering of another forces him to fight yet again. Luke is already haunted by what he has seen, and he fears what is yet to come as he takes on a partner in his travels.

Südtirol - das ist ein Paradies für Berg- und Wintersportler, Erholungsuchende und Feinschmecker, im Sommer wie im Winter. Denn hier, zwischen den Ortler Alpen und den steil aufragenden Felstürmen der "Drei Zinnen" in den Sextner Dolomiten, wechseln sich alpines und mediterranes Ambiente auf engstem Raum ab. Es regnet weniger als in den umliegenden Alpenregionen und die Sonne scheint länger. Im milden Klima der nördlichsten Provinz Italiens gedeihen hervorragende Weine.

Bei aller Geschichtsträchtigkeit fasziniert am Elsass vor allem die liebliche Anmut der Landschaft, sein besonderer Menschenschlag und eine spezielle Art der Kultur, wie sie wohl nur Grenzregionen hervorbringen können. Die einzigartige Topografie des "schönen Gartens" zwischen Vogesen und Rhein, wie schon der Sonnenkönig Ludwig XIV. das Elsass bezeichnete, weist zahllose Orte auf, die sämtliche Reize zu vereinen scheinen.

Body Language Psychologist and Stress Consultant, Dean Fraser, takes us on an evocative journey through his own and other people's lives. The story begins with himself as a child and his need to overcome certain challenges in order to live a full life. We hear of those discovering the root causes of their unhappiness or the others recognising that the dramatic turmoil they find themselves in really does afford them the opportunity to do what they always dreamed of. Never has the expression it's darkest before dawn been more relevant than to our lives in this 21st Century!
