Title: With the End in Mind Subtitle: Dying, Death and Wisdom in an Age of Denial Author: Kathryn Mannix Narrator: Elizabeth Carling, Kathryn Mannix Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: What colour is cancer? Why do some people appear to have made miraculous recoveries? How can you tell when someone is in the final hours of their life? How can we ensure our most vulnerable are treated with the dignity they deserve? In this unprecedented memoir, a palliative medicine pioneer explores the biggest taboo in our society and the only certainty we all share: death. Kathryn Mannix immortalises the thousands of men and women she has seen off. These unforgettable stories send an urgent message to the living, answering all our questions about the end-of-life process with touching honesty and humanity. Drawing on four decades of experience studying and practicing palliative care, Mannix shows us what happens when people are approaching the end of their lives: how they cope; how they live; what matters most; how dying evolves; what a deathbed is like; and how families react. Kathryn Mannix's stories, although drawn from her clinical practice, are those of our friends, our family, our partners. We learn about the body language of death through a young mother who raves the night away before falling into a forever slumber. The psychology of death, too, is illuminated, as with the endearing story of Sanjeev, an elderly man admitted to the hospital who is convinced he is on a night train to Delhi where he will meet his parents in the morning. A husband asks the doctor not to tell his wife of the fatality of her condition - the wife later confesses to having kept her husband in the dark about the finality of her illness to preserve him. These meditations tells us everything about the dying and their loved ones. With the End in Mind is a book for all of us: the grieving and bereaved, ill and healthy. It is also an insight into palliation as a mixture of teamwork with clinical detective work to find the origins of patients' symptoms in order offer the best possible living conditions towards the end. Mannix argues that with planning, honesty and information, death doesn't have to be either painful or terrifying. With at-times funny, poignant and always wise storytelling about how people die, Mannix has written a book of immense power and importance.

Gregor Gysi hat linkes Denken geprägt und wurde zu einem seiner wichtigsten Protagonisten. Hier erzählt er von seinen zahlreichen Leben: als Anwalt, Politiker, Autor, Moderator und Familienvater. Seine Autobiographie ist ein Geschichts-Buch, das die Erschütterungen und Extreme, die Entwürfe und Enttäuschungen des 20. Jahrhunderts auf sehr persönliche Weise erlebbar macht. Kaum ein deutscher Politiker wurde so geschmäht, kaum einer schlug sich so erfolgreich durchs Gestrüpp der Anfeindungen - hin zu einer anerkannten Prominenz: In seiner Autobiographie erzählt Gregor Gysi von seiner Kindheit und Jugend, schildert seinen Weg zum Rechtsanwalt, gibt Einblicke in sein Verhältnis zu Dissidenten ("Bahro war mein spannendster Fall.") und in die Spannungsfelder an der Spitze von Partei und Bundestagsfraktion. Vor allem aber berichtet er von der erstaunlichen Wendung, die sein Leben mit dem Herbst 1989 nahm: Der Jurist wird Politiker. "Einfach wegrennen, das wollte ich nie", sagt Gysi und trifft damit einen Kern seines Wesens: Widersprüche aushalten. Ein Leben und eine Familiengeschichte, die von Russland bis Rhodesien führt, in einen Gerichtsalltag mit Mördern und Dieben, und zu der ein Lob Lenins und die Nobelpreisträgerin Doris Lessing gehören. "Mit Namen will ich nicht langweilen, und merken kann man sich das eh alles nicht. Erstaunlich, was sich im Laufe so vieler Jahre alles ereignet, wer auf wen treffen und welche Zufälle einander kreuzen müssen, damit irgendwann das eigene Leben entstehen und hervortreten kann." aus: "Ein Leben ist zu wenig" ©2017 Aufbau Verlag GmbH & Co KG (P)2017 Aufbau Verlag GmbH & Co KG

Title: Stories I Tell on Dates Author: Paul Shirley Narrator: Punch Audio, Paul Shirley Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Fourth Bar Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Everyone tells stories on dates. Sometimes we tell these stories to make people laugh. Sometimes we tell them to make people think. Sometimes we tell them so we can increase the chances we'll see the other person naked. Paul Shirley's stories are about an adulthood spent all over the world: living in Spain, playing in the NBA, and having his heart (and spleen) broken. But they're also stories about growing up in small-town Kansas: triumphant spelling bees, catastrophic middle school dances, and a Sex Ed. class taught by his mother. They're funny stories. They're vulnerable stories. Most of all, they're universal stories, just as the stories we tell on dates should be.

Spalding Narrator: Clay Lomakayu Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-17 Publisher: Clay Miller Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In presenting The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, I wish to state that I was one of a research party of 11 persons that visited the Far East in 1894. During our stay - three and a half years - we contacted the Great Masters of the Himalayas, who aided us in the translation of the records, which was of great assistance in our research work. They permitted us to enter into their lives intimately and we were thus able to see the actual working of the great Law as demonstrated by them. We call them Masters, which is merely our name for them. One living the life described herein is entitled to reverence and consideration as a Master. Records and manuscripts - our actual experience with the Masters - were preserved. Personally, at that time, I thought the world was not ready for this message. I was an independent member of the research party and I am now publishing my notes under the title The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, with the thought that the [listener] may accept or reject, as he wishes. This book gives the first year's experience of the expedition in relation to the Masters. It includes their teaching, which was taken by us stenographically at the time, with their permission and approved by them.

In prose that's alternately harrowing and humorous, Thousand-Miler takes you with her through Wisconsin's forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms, past the geologic wonders carved by long-ago glaciers, and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Follow along as she worries about wildlife encounters, wonders if her injured feet will ever recover, and searches for an elusive fellow hiker known as Papa Bear. Woven throughout her account are details of the history of the still-developing Ice Age Trail - one of just 11 National Scenic Trails - and helpful insight and strategies for undertaking a successful thru-hike. In addition to chronicling McManus's hike, Thousand-Miler also includes the little-told story of the Ice Age Trail's first-ever thru-hiker Jim Staudacher, an account of the record-breaking thru-run of ultrarunner Jason Dorgan, the experiences of a young combat veteran who embarked on her thru-hike as a way to ease back into civilian life, and other fascinating tales from the trail.

Deadly cold, famine, grizzly bears, and one unruly sled dog with a grudge kept Stan on the knife's edge between survival and death. Humbled by the power of nature, the Boston greaser who was destined for prison found a new life in the wild, where one mistake can prove fatal. This is the true story of Stan Zuray's incredible journey, the reformation of a man's heart and mind in the forbidding darkness of Alaska's endless winter.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the nationwide satanic panic in the 1980s to local political cover-ups, shocking kidnappings, unsolved child murders, and scandalous pedophile rings, this book takes you behind the deceptive headlines and, finally, reveals what was going on in Omaha when all hell broke loose.

This book, finally, is an expose of the surprising participants and unbelievable horrors involving murder, drugs, lavish parties, pedophiles, suspected government conspiracies, and the Omaha gay scene that cast a dark cloud of suspicion over an unsuspecting city. David Shurter takes you down the rabbit hole.

Title: One Sip at a Time Subtitle: Learning to Live in Provence Author: Keith Van Sickle Narrator: Alexander Cendese Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Can a two-career couple really pick up stakes and move to Provence? Keith and Val had a dream - to live in Provence, the land of brilliant sunlight, charming hilltop villages, and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. But there were two problems: they weren't French speakers and they had full-time jobs. So they came up with a plan.... Follow their adventures (and misadventures) as they quit their jobs, become consultants, and split their time between two countries. Laugh along as they build a life in Provence, slowly mastering a new language and making friends with the locals over long meals and just a bit too much wine. This light and breezy memoir is full of wry observations on France, like the power of cheese to sway elections, the right and wrong ways for men to kiss each other, and the law requiring that blood donors must speak French. If you've ever dreamed of changing gears and learning what joie de vivre is really all about, you won't want to miss this delightful book.

Author: Edie Littlefield Sundby Narrator: Jaimee Paul Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: This story is not about avoiding death. It's about living life. Immerse yourself in the amazing story of Edie Littlefield Sundby, who, after being told she had only three months to live, survived 79 rounds of chemotherapy and radical liver and lung surgeries and then walked 800 miles along the California Mission Trail, averaging 14 miles a day and stopping at life-giving missions to revive her body and her soul. When she finished she yearned to walk the mission trail from its start - in Mexico. But no one had traversed that trail in 250 years. As you will learn in this audiobook, Edie doesn't care about what some deem impossible. It is that spirit that has allowed her to live despite the odds. With fading strength and only one lung, she walked another 800 miles through the rugged mountains and deserts of Baja, Mexico, to the California border. In a walk of triumph, of harrowing adventure, and of spiritual enlightenment, she carried her mortality in every step and, in the process, opened up a profound communion with God and his creation and the true meaning of life. And all of this with a terminal cancer that was chasing her every step of the way. It still is, and she continues to walk with it every day. For me, walking is a transcendent physical, emotional, and spiritual experience, like dancing. "If I can move, I am not sick." That is my alternate reality. And I believe with all my will in that reality. So when cancer strikes again and again, I walk to stay alive. Life is the greatest adventure there is. Why stop our adventuring because someone says the end might be near? For those who crave a spirit of adventure, who ache like Edie to know what our bodies and spirits are truly cable of, this audiobook is a must-listen. A true testament to faith, courage, and the power of hope.

Title: Bad Kid Subtitle: A Memoir Author: David Crabb Narrator: David Crabb Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 07-18-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Discovering George Michael's Faith confirmed for David Crabb what every bully already knew: He was gay. What saved him from high school was finding a group of outlandish friends who reveled in being outsiders. David found himself enmeshed with misfits: wearing black, cutting class, staying out all night, drinking, tripping, chain-smoking, idolizing the Pet Shop Boys - and learning lessons about life and love along the way. Richly detailed with '90s pop culture, Bad Kid is as laugh-out-loud funny as it is poignant. David Crabb's journey through adolescence captures the essence of every person's struggle to understand his or her true self. Cover design by Joanne O'Neill.

Subtitle: A memoir of pop culture, feminism and feelings Author: Brodie Lancaster Narrator: Brodie Lancaster Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Hachette Australia Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A fresh new voice in Australian nonfiction, No Way! Okay, Fine. is a memoir from freelance journalist and editor Brodie Lancaster. Short-listed for The Richell Prize for Emerging Writers 2015. 'I identified early on that my role in relationships was the sidekick, the platonic female cast member in an all-male production, or the friend who was relied on selectively when other options were unavailable. I was the comic relief or the stand-in, never the lead. I knew this, I felt it, I wrote it down, but I didn't dare say it aloud because that would prove that I cared, and caring wasn't cool.' From the small town in regional Australia where she was told that 'girls can't play the drums' to New York City and back again, Brodie has spent her life searching screens, books, music and magazines for bodies like hers, girls who loved each other, and women who didn't follow the silent instructions to shrink or hide that they've received since literal birth. This is the story of life as a young woman through the lenses of feminism and pop culture. Brodie's story will make you reevaluate the power of pop culture in our lives - and maybe you will laugh and cry along the way. Critic Reviews: "Brodie is whip smart; merging pop-culture references with vulnerable, personal experiences to create a collection that reads like a hilarious catch-up call with an old friend. What a pleasure to hear from this fresh, extremely relevant point of view." (Abbi Jacobson, cocreator, writer and star of Broad City)

Title: More Ketchup Than Salsa Subtitle: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman Author: Joe Cawley Narrator: Nicholas Camm Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Joe Cawley Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: It was while holding aloft a not altogether pleasant-smelling mackerel that the decision was made. The March rain hammered on the rotting tin roof high above the market stall, where I had spent the last six months pushing out dubious trays of marine life at three for a fiver. After a two-week holiday in Tenerife, Joy and I vowed that a life in fish giblets was not going to be our destiny and a life in the sun, was. A complete lack of catering experience, zero business acumen, and the sum of our vastly wealth barely reaching waist level of a ceramic pig did little to deter our enthusiasm for buying a bar. "Where do we sign?" we replied. And then the whole silly, sunny saga began.... When Joe and his girlfriend Joy decide to trade in their life on a cold Lancashire fish market to run a bar in the Tenerife sunshine, they anticipate a paradise of sea, sand, and siestas. Little did they expect their foreign fantasy to turn out to be about as exotic as Bolton on a wet Monday morning. Amidst a host of eccentric locals, homesickness, and the occasional cockroach infestation, pint-pulling novices Joe and Joy struggle with "Brits abroad" culture and learn that, although the skies might be bluer, the grass is definitely not always greener. A hilarious insight into the wild and wacky characters of an expat community in a familiar holiday destination, More Ketchup Than Salsa is a must-listen for anybody who has ever dreamed about jetting off to sunnier climes, finding a job abroad...or anybody who has even momentarily flirted with the idea of "doing a Shirley Valentine" in these trying economic times.

Title: Free Roll Author: Brandt Tobler Narrator: Brandt Tobler Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-17 Publisher: Lions Park Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Have you ever wondered... This book is written by a stand-up comedian that takes you through tragedy after tragedy on its path to hilarity. Will it make you laugh? Eventually. Will it make you cry? Probably. But the hope is that it will also make you smile, dream, and reflect, while simultaneously inspiring you to never stop chasing your dreams (even if your very own family is constantly trying to derail them). Brandt tells his life story with candor, detailing the many pit stops, wrong turns, crazy connections, and lucky breaks he experienced along the way to his comedy career, all while trying to balance a toxic relationship with his jailbird dad. Brandt's storytelling will make you laugh (it better because that's his job!) and believe, as he does, that when it comes to defining family, blood isn't always thicker than water.

Title: Bear in the Back Seat, Book 2 Subtitle: Adventures of a Wildlife Ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Author: Kim DeLozier, Carolyn Jourdan Narrator: Carey Jones Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-17 Publisher: Zo'o Media Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: This is the second volume in a best-selling series of true stories from "[a]n extraordinary landscape populated with befuddled bears, hormonally-crazed elk, homicidal wild boars, hopelessly timid wolves, and nine million tourists, some of whom are clueless." In Kim DeLozier's world, when sedated wild black bears wake up unexpectedly in the back seat of a helicopter in mid-flight, or in his car as he's driving down the highway, or in his office while he's talking on the phone, it's just another day in the park. You'll love seeing Kim and a fellow ranger tested as they bravely take on the task of dealing with enraged wild boars, elk, and more. A hilarious, heartwarming, and heartbreaking memoir by the chief wildlife ranger in the number-one most popular family vacation destination in the USA, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. For over 30 years, Kim DeLozier acted as a referee in the wild, trying to protect millions of park visitors from one of the densest populations of wild black bears in America - and the bears from tourists who get too close.
