The Johnstown flood [sound recording] / by McCullough, David G.(CARDINAL)122588; Runger, Nelson.nrt;
Narrated by Nelson Runger.At the end of the last century, Johnstown, Pennsylvania was a booming coal-and-steel town filled with hardworking families striving for a piece of the nation's burgeoning industrial prosperity. In the mountains above Johnstown, an old earth dam had been hastily rebuilt to create a lake for an exclusive summer resort patronized by the tycoons of that same industrial prosperity, among them Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and Andrew Mellon. Despite repeated warnings of possible danger, nothing was done about the dam. Then came May 31, 1889, when the dam burst, sending a wall of water thundering down the mountain, smashing through Johnstown, and killing more than 2,000 people. It was a tragedy that became a national scandal.Compact disc.

UltraMetabolism [sound recording] : the simple plan for automatic weight loss / by Hyman, Mark,1959-(CARDINAL)352933; Runger, Nelson.nrt.(CARDINAL)360039;
Narrated by Nelson Runger.UltraMetabolism finally reveals why it's so hard to lose weight. As renowned physician Mark Hyman explains, our bodies are designed to keep weight on at all costs as a matter of survival. It's embedded in our DNA. Unfortunately, our genetic blueprint has not changed as our diet has evolved; as a result, our bodies are not designed to process the types of food we are fed today. And making matters worse is the fact that diets just don't work; the average person who goes on a diet actually gains five pounds. But now a medical revolution is finally showing us precisely how the powerful forces that keep weight on can actually be reprogrammed to automatically burn fat and keep weight off for good. For the first time ever, Dr. Mark Hyman makes this new science of weight loss available to the general public. This medical revolution is based on a groundbreaking concept called nutrigenomics--the science of how food talks to our genes.
