Free Download Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void (Audiobook)
English | August 02, 2010 | ASIN: B003Y56QYC | M4B@96 kbps | 10h 27m | 441 MB
Author: Mary Roach | Narrator: Sandra Burr
Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can't walk for a year? Have sex? Smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour?
To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations. As Mary Roach discovers, it's possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA's new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth.

Free Download Owning the Unknown: A Science Fiction Writer Explores Atheism, Agnosticism, and the Idea of God (Audiobook)
English | September 26, 2023 | ASIN: B0CCYVHS98 | M4B@64 kbps | 6h 25m | 179 MB
Author: Robert Charles Wilson | Narrator: Pete Cross
Although humankind today can peer far deeper into the universe than ever before, we still find ourselves surrounded by the unknown and perhaps the unknowable. All great science fiction has used the human imagination to explore that realm beyond the known, just as theistic religions have done since long before the genre existed.
As Hugo Award-winning author Robert Charles Wilson argues in Owning the Unknown, the genre's freewheeling speculation and systematic world-building make it a unique lens for understanding, examining, and assessing the truth claims of religions in general and Christianity in particular.

Free Download Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars (Audiobook)
English | November 28, 2023 | ASIN: B0CNDX4XGJ | M4B@128 kbps | 10h 30m | 572 MB
Author and Narrator: Kliph Nesteroff
From the preeminent historian of modern comedy comes an expansive history of showbiz and the culture wars
There is a common belief that we live in unprecedented times, that people are too sensitive today, that nobody objected to the actions of actors, comedians, and filmmakers in the past. Modern pundits would have us believe that Americans of a previous generation had tougher skin and seldom complained. But does this argument hold up to scrutiny?

Outback Midwife is the story of Beth McRae's 40 years as a midwife, from her terrifying first day witnessing a birth as a naïve student nurse to her training as a midwife - the days when the words 'birth plan' were unheard of and what women wanted was a long way from being part of any plan - to the outback.
Beth's career of catching babies takes her from the city to the bush, bonding with people from all walks of life at one of the most critical moments in their lives. But there was one more frontier she was determined to conquer.

Birdsville is one of the most remote police postings in Australia.
It can be lonely and uneventful for weeks, then the dramas come thick and fast: from desert rescues to rising floods, venomous vipers to visiting VIPs. Throw in heat, dust and flies and it's not a job for the faint-hearted, unless you're Senior Constable Neale McShane, who has single-handedly taken care of a beat the size of Victoria for the past 10 years. Recently retired from this 'hardship posting', Neale and his family thrived on the adventures and colourful times that come with the territory in the furthest corner of our country.

Free Download Out of My Skull: The Psychology of Boredom by James Danckert, John D. Eastwood, Liam Gerrard
English | 2020 | ISBN: B089CBSJZ5 | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 5 hours and 46 minutes | 158 Mb
We avoid boredom at all costs. It makes us feel restless and agitated. Desperate for something to do, we play games on our phones, retie our shoes, or even count ceiling tiles. And if we escape it this time, eventually it will strike again. But what if we listened to boredom instead of banishing it?Psychologists James Danckert and John Eastwood contend that boredom isn't bad for us. It's just that we do a bad job of heeding its guidance.
When we're bored, our minds are telling us that whatever we are doing isn't working - we're failing to satisfy our basic psychological need to be engaged and effective. Too many of us respond poorly.We become prone to accidents, risky activities, loneliness, and ennui, and we waste ever more time on technological distractions. But, Danckert and Eastwood argue, we can let boredom have the opposite effect, motivating the change we need. The latest research suggests that an adaptive approach to boredom will help us avoid its troubling effects and, through its reminder to become aware and involved, boredom might lead us to live fuller lives.
Out of My Skull combines scientific findings with everyday observations to explain an experience we'd like to ignore, but from which we have a lot to learn. Boredom evolved to help us. It's time we gave it a chance.

Free Download Our Vietnam Wars (4 book series) by William F. Brown, Eddie Frierson
English | 2021 | ISBN: B07Q62LXK6 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 128 Kbps | 2.26 Gb
This could be the most important audiobook you'll listen to this year. It isn't another war story. It is an audiobook about people, and it contains the personal stories of 100 Vietnam veterans who served there.
Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines from the late 1950s to 1975, we served from the Delta to the DMZ, and from Thailand to Yankee Station in the South China Sea. Infantry grunts, truck drivers, medics, helicopter pilots, nurses, clerk typists, jet pilots, mechanics, staff officers, repairmen, artillerymen, B-52 bombardiers, MPs, and doctors, we were black, white, and Hispanic, male and female. We were only in our teens and early 20s, but our stories continue to resonate through the years.
January 30 marked the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, the seminal event of a war that dominated my generation and changed lives. Some of the men and women in this audiobook are true war heroes. Most were just trying to survive. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, my hope is that through these stories, you will.

Free Download Our Polyvagal World: How Safety and Trauma Change Us by Stephen W. Porges, Seth Porges, Paul Boehmer
English | 2023 | ISBN: B0CJRXSPP7 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 8 hours and 21 minutes + EPUB | 236 Mb
The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all.
Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea-that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness-has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon.
Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't.

English | ASIN: B0CQ117FVX | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~10:21:00 | 294 MB
Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don't just own financial assets.
The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and the homes in which many of us live-all now swell asset managers' bulging investment portfolios.

Free Download Origins: The Scientific Story of Creation by Jim Baggott, Neil Scott-Barbour, Audible Studios
English | 2016 | ISBN: B01C3525BQ | Format: M4A / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 16 hours and 47 minutes | 521 Mb
What is the nature of the material world? How does it work? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang and travelling right up to the emergence of humans as conscious intelligent beings, 13.8 billion years later. Chapter by chapter, it sets out the current state of scientific knowledge: the origins of space and time; energy, mass, and light; galaxies, stars, and our sun; the habitable earth, and complex life itself. Drawing together the physical and biological sciences, Baggott recounts what we currently know of our history, highlighting the questions science has yet to answer.
