Wolfwood [audio-enabled device] by Baer, Mariannaauthor.(CARDINAL)397653; McCoy, Annalysenarrator.; Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; Playaway Digital Audio.(CARDINAL)565887;
Read by Annalyse McCoy.Indigo and her mother, once-famous artist Zoe Serra, have barely been scraping by since her mom's breakdown. When a gallery offers Zoe a revival show for her unfinished blockbuster series, Wolfwood, Indigo knows it's a crucial chance to finally regain stability. Zoe, however, mysteriously refuses. Desperate not to lose the opportunity, Indigo secretly takes up the brush herself. It turns out, there might be a very good reason her mother wants nothing to do with Wolfwood. Painting submerges Indigo into Wolfwood itself--a dangerous jungle where an army of grotesque, monstrous flora are in a violent battle with a band of girls. As Indigo enters Wolfwood again and again, the line between fantasy and reality blurs. It's a tenuous balancing act: keeping her forgery secret and her mind lucid, all while fighting her attraction to Kai, the son of the gallery owner. And by the time Indigo realizes the true nature of the monsters she's up against, it might be too late--and the monsters might just win.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.One set of earphones and one AAA battery required for listening.

Nature's wild ideas [audio-enabled device] : how the natural world is inspiring scientific innovation by Hamilton, Kristy,author.(CARDINAL)858036; Shade, Patricia,narrator.; Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; Playaway Digital Audio,issuing body.(CARDINAL)565887; Playaway Products, LLC.,issuing body.;
Read by Patricia Shade.When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature--complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.Adult.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.One set of earphones and one AAA battery required for listening.

The art of losing [audio-enabled device] by Zeniter, Aliceauthor.; Saddy, Jeednarrator.; Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; Playaway Digital Audio.(CARDINAL)565887;
Read by Jeed Saddy.Naïma knows Algeria only by the artifacts she encounters in her grandparents' tiny apartment in Normandy: the language her grandmother speaks but Naïma can't understand, the food her grandmother cooks, and the precious things her grandmother carried when they fled. But now Naïma will travel to Algeria to see for herself what was left behind--including their secrets. The Algerian War for Independence sent Naïma's grandfather on a journey of his own, from wealthy olive grove owner and respected veteran of the First World War, to refugee spurned as a harki by his fellow Algerians in the transit camps of southern France, to immigrant barely scratching out a living in the north. The battle against colonial rule broke apart communities, opened deep rifts within families, and saw the whims of those in even temporary power instantly overturn the lives of ordinary people. Where does Naïma's family fit into this history? How do they fit into France's future? Alice Zeniter's The Art of Losing is a powerful, moving family novel that spans three generations across seventy years and two shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a story of how we carry on in the face of loss: loss of country, identity, language, connection. Most of all, it is an immersive, riveting excavation of the inescapable legacies of colonialism, immigration, family, and war.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.One set of earphones and one AAA battery required for listening.

Read by Cassandra Campbell.Sound files.What if everything we know about one of America's darkest days is wrong? Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America's Heartland, killing 168 people, including fifteen children. History says the Oklahoma City bombing was lone wolf terrorism. But haunting fresh evidence points instead to a neo-Nazi plot in which the FBI played a hidden role. The FBI launched the biggest manhunt in its history for two suspected bombers. Yet they never captured the other suspect, known only as John Doe 2, who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon, the FBI canceled the search, saying eyewitnesses who saw John Doe 2 were mistaken. None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. How could twenty witnesses be wrong? More troubling clues lead Roberts to reopen the mystery of John Doe 2 before the thirtieth anniversary of America's deadliest domestic terror attack. Blowback chronicles her shocking discoveries, including journalism's only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh coconspirator Terry Nichols. Roberts puts the puzzle together after a whistleblower steps forward, though one burning mystery remains. Is John Doe 2 the FBI's guilty secret?Adult.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.Title from Playaway label.
