Title: Every Living Thing: The Great and Deadly Race to Know All Life Author: Jason Roberts Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 2 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: An epic, extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth—a competition “with continued repercussions for Western views of race. [This] vivid double biography is a passionate corrective” (The New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice). “[A] vibrant scientific saga . . . at once important, outrageous, enlightening, entertaining, enduring, and still evolving.”—Dava Sobel, author of Longitude A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In the eighteenth century, two men—exact contemporaries and polar opposites—dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster’s flair, believed that life belonged in tidy, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France’s royal garden, viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species—or as many could fit on Noah’s Ark? Both fell far short of their goal, but in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature, the future of the Earth, and humanity itself. Linnaeus gave the world such concepts as mammal, primate, and Homo sapiens, but he also denied that species change and he promulgated racist pseudoscience. Buffon formulated early prototypes of evolution and genetics, warned of global climate change, and argued passionately against prejudice. The clash of their conflicting worldviews continued well after their deaths, as their successors contended for dominance in the emerging science that came to be called biology. In Every Living Thing, Jason Roberts weaves a sweeping, unforgettable narrative spell, exploring the intertwined lives and legacies of Linnaeus and Buffon—as well as the groundbreaking, often fatal adventures of their acolytes—to trace an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries into the present day.

Title: [Spanish] - Presidentes sin pedestal: Una historia cínica de los gobernantes de Colombia Author: Nicolás Pernett Cañas Narrator: Jorge Riveros Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Una historia irreverente de los presidentes de Colombia Es común que los pueblos tumben los monumentos de héroes antiguos. Pero, para Nicolás Pernett, el problema no está en las estatuas, sino en los pedestales, donde se escriben las exageradas alabanzas que elevan a las figuras del pasado por encima del resto de mortales. En este riguroso y divertido libro de historia de Colombia, el autor nos invita a bajar del pedestal de la memoria a los presidentes de la nación, cuestionando su legado con datos que suelen omitirse en la historia tradicional, desde antes de la Independencia hasta nuestros días. Presidentes sin pedestal es un libro sin leyendas patrióticas ni falsos heroísmos, en donde podemos ver a los gobernantes como seres humanos que tuvieron aciertos y vergüenzas, convicciones y momentos en que olvidaron sus ideales solo por conservar el poder. Es, en resumen, una mirada crítica y mordaz que nos llevará a entender mucho mejor el país en el que vivimos.

Title: A Week in September Author: Peter Rees Narrator: Peter Rees Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 5 minutes Release date: March 30, 2022 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Through a precious cache of WWII letters, a story of war is revealed. But also, most movingly, a story of love, resilience and survival, from award-winning and bestselling writer, Peter Rees and Sue Langford.. 'Profoundly moving ... I don't mind saying I wept at the end, for all the young men lost to war, their widows and children ... a lovely book.' The Australian Doug Heywood was a teenager when he discovered, in a shoebox hidden in a wardrobe, hundreds of letters, all written by his father, Scott Heywood. As a POW on the infamous Burma Railway, Scott wrote almost daily to his young wife, Margery, on scraps of paper that had to be hidden from guards. These letters tell of an enduring love – and also, intriguingly, of how Scott dealt with the most brutally testing circumstances. Scott's story has echoes of another story happening 7000 kilometres away at the same time. Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, was rounded up with his family and sent to Auschwitz in September 1942. Frankl later wrote in his classic book Man's Search for Meaning that the last of the human freedoms was the ability 'to choose one's attitude in any set of circumstances'. Scott Heywood and Viktor Frankl, on opposite sides of the world, found their own ways to survive that were uncannily similar. This is the untold story of one man, one ordinary man, and his war. Woven through it is Margery's story, as she waited anxiously with their two young children in rural Victoria, trapped in an emotional rollercoaster, unaware that he was writing letters to her that could not be posted. This is a powerful and moving story of love, resilience and survival.
