Title: When They Call You a Terrorist
Author: Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Asha Bandele, Angela Davis - foreword

Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-25-18
Publisher: Canongate Books Ltd

Summary:
Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, three women - Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Khan-Cullors - came together to form an active response to the systemic racism causing the deaths of so many African-Americans.
They simply said: Black Lives Matter; and for that, they were labelled terrorists. In this empowering account of survival, strength, and resilience, Patrisse Khan-Cullors and award-winning author and journalist Asha Bandele recount the personal story that led Patrisse to become a founder of Black Lives Matter, seeking to end the culture that declares Black life expendable.
Like the era-defining movement she helped create, this rallying cry demands you do not avert your attention. With a foreword by Angela Davis.

In Saving Tarboo Creek, Scott Freeman artfully blends his family's story with powerful universal lessons about how we can all live more constructive, fulfilling, and natural lives by engaging with the land rather than exploiting it. Equal parts heartfelt and empowering, this book explores how we can all make a difference one choice at a time.

Title: The First Casualty
Author: Peter Greste
Narrator: Peter Greste
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 25 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-18-18
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
In a world where the first casualty of war is truth, journalism has become the new battleground.
Peter Greste spent two decades reporting from the front line in the world's most dangerous countries before making headlines himself following his own incarceration in an Egyptian prison. Charged with threatening national security, and enduring a sham trial, solitary confinement and detention for 400 days, Greste himself became a victim of the new global war on journalism.
Wars have always been about propaganda, but today's battles are increasingly between ideas, and the media has become part of the battlefield. Extremists have staked a place in news dissemination with online postings, and journalists have moved from being witnesses to the struggle to a means by which the war is waged - which makes them a target. Having covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, as well as having spent time prison in Egypt, Greste is extremely well placed to describe in vivid detail what effect this has on the nature of reporting and the mind of the reporter.
Based on extensive interviews and research, Greste shows how this war on journalism has spread to the West, not just in the murders at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo or the repressions of Putin's Russia, but Australia's metadata laws and Trump's phony war on 'fake news'.
In this courageous, compelling, vital account, Greste unpicks the extent to which modern investigative journalism is under threat and the fraught quest - and desperate need - for truth in the age of terrorism.

Éditeur: Audible Studios

Résumé:
Connaissez-vous Massasoit, le vieux sage de la nation wampanoag, Jean-Baptiste Faribault et Michel Laframboise, ces aventuriers canadiens-français qui ont bâti l'Ouest américain, ou l'oncle Yvan, revenu de la guerre alors que plus personne ne l'attendait, ou la tante Monique de Santa Monica? Saviez-vous qu'une vieille Honda était douée de parole, qu'une grande tortue sacrée vivait sur la rue Pie-IX, qu'un camion des années 1950 avait des yeux, et que ces yeux pouvaient parfois être tristes?
Après C'était au temps des mammouths laineux (2012), voici de nouveau une trentaine de petits essais écrits avec cet art qui est la marque unique de Serge Bouchard, le timbre même de sa voix: un art qui est à la fois celui de l'anthropologue, nourri par une attention passionnée aux visages et aux récits inépuisables des humains, et celui du poète, confiant dans les pouvoirs révélateurs de l'imagination et du langage.

Title: Don't Let My Past Be Your Future
Author: Harry Leslie Smith
Narrator: Ric Jerom
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-11-18
Publisher: Little Brown
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Harry Leslie Smith is a great British stalwart. A survivor of the Great Depression, a Second World War veteran, a lifelong Labour supporter and a proud Yorkshire man, Harry's life has straddled two centuries. As a young man, he witnessed a country in crisis with no health care, no relief for the poor, and a huge economic gulf between the North and South. Now in his 90s, Harry wanders through the streets of his youth and wonders whether anything has actually changed.
Britain is at its most dangerous juncture since Harry's youth - the NHS and social housing are in crisis, whilst Brexit and an unpopular government continue to divide the country - but there is hope. Just as Clement Attlee provided hope in 1945, Labour's triumphant comeback of June 2017 is a beacon of light in this season of discontent.
Britain has overcome adversity before and will do so again - a new nation will be forged from the ashes of grave injustice.
Moving and passionate, Don't Let My Past Be Your Future interweaves memoir and polemic in a call to arms. Above all, this book is a homage to the boundless grace and resilience of the human spirit.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-31-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
I had long been looking from the wildwoods and gardens of the Northern States to those of the warm South, and at last, all draw-backs overcome, I set forth [from Indianapolis] on the first day of September, 1867, joyful and free, on a thousand-mile walk to the Gulf of Mexico. Crossing the Ohio at Louisville, I steered through the big city by compass without speaking a word to any one. Beyond the city I found a road running southward, and after passing a scatterment of suburban cabins and cottages I reached the green woods and spread out my pocket map to rough-hew a plan for my journey. My plan was simply to push on in a general southward direction by the wildest, leafiest, and least trodden way I could find, promising the greatest extent of virgin forest.

Title: Eighteen Months in the War Zone
Author: Kate John Finzi
Narrator: Ella Porter
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-31-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
"Eighteen Months in the War Zone" is a memoir by Kate John Finzi about the service women provided during World War I on the Western Front.

From the introduction by Major-Gen. Sir Alfred Turner: Miss Kate Finzi gives in a plain, unvarnished style a terrible and graphic picture of the horrors of war, which have been intensified, as never before, owing to the ferocious savagery of the German troops, as systematically ordered by their officers and commanded by the Kaiser himself, the greatest criminal in the world's record; for this war, planned and prepared deliberately by him, is the greatest crime ever committed against civilisation and humanity. I think this is the first record - a most pathetic and interesting record - of what happened at the base hospitals at Boulogne, where tens of thousands of wounded, maimed and mutilated incessantly arrived, to be passed on to England, or to linger there till death came as a happy release from their sufferings.

Title: Christian Child, Atheist Adult
Author: Gregory Blount
Narrator: Gregory Blount
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-29-17
Publisher: Blount Publishing
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Christian Child, Atheist Adult is the the autobiographical narrative of a Southern Baptist deacon's son who discovered just how misled he had been during his formative years; ultimately making a transformation into one of Christianity's most staunch critics. Gregory Blount provides accounts of the social and familial tactics often used by many faith-based religions to indoctrinate and entrap members. The book also provides a broad consideration of the scientific, historical, and philosophical answers that led the author to develop his perspective. Blount sheds light on the misinformation that is perpetuated by modern-day Christian churches and demonstrates how Christianity's historical alliance with governmental entities exists today, as it almost always has, to suppress and divide citizens against each other for the convenience of their oligarchical support network. Christian Child, Atheist Adult is a contemplative and thorough look behind the curtain of one of the world's largest and most rampantly misunderstood theistic religions. It is a crucial work, written with the intention of liberating a modern, yet unsuspecting society of well-intending individuals from the fanatical idealism that has suppressed the majority of humankind for centuries.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 53 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-29-17
Publisher: Brian Gordon
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Though Americans have seen plenty of news updates on the Iraq War since 2003, few know what its like to actually live through the harsh conditions on a daily basis.
In his memoir, B.I.A.P.: Baghdad International Airport, two-tour Iraq War veteran Sergeant Brian L. Gordon shows readers the constant challenges soldiers face on the ground in the Middle East.
Serving first in 2003, Gordon drives a truck delivering bulk fuel and must regularly dodge rocket-propelled grenades and IEDs. His unit also takes on heavy firefights and rocket launcher attacks while manning the water point at the Euphrates River.
Though his division is eventually investigated for conspiracy to sabotage their own vehicles (in order to remain safely back at base), Gordon bravely serves a second tour in 2004 with a new unit, this time delivering tanks and artillery in and out of northern Iraq. This assignment will test him and his comrades to their limits when a mission turns into a twenty-one-day hostage situation at Baghdad International Airport.
B.I.A.P.: Baghdad International Airport gives readers the opportunity to experience the life of a combat soldier struggling with PTSD, striving to serve his country and protect the lives of his comrades.

Release date: 12-28-17
Publisher: Sean Donovan

Summary:
My memoirs of Vietnam are more like an MRI than a book written about an image of me at 26 - taken by me at 73. I'm the technician operating the big tube - you are the radiologist studying the results, but the image is not of me. No, it's a picture of you; because we are all drafted to Vietnam.
Shortly after starting, my work took on a life of its own, realizing that your Vietnam is infinitely more relevant and important than mine, and you are all alone - just as I was in southeast Asia. So when you listen, think about yourself, think about your own personal Vietnam. Then I invite you to join me to Think Snow.

Narrator: Neil Pigot
Format: Unabridged
Length: 12 hrs and 36 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-21-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
From his cage in a putrid, overcrowded Indian jail, Paul Jordan reflects on a life lived on the edge and curses the miscalculation that robbed him of his freedom.
His childhood, marred by the loss of his father and brother, produces a young man hell-bent on being the best of the best - an ambition he achieves by being selected to join the elite SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime, deployment to the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in Rwanda before leaving the army to embark on a career as a security adviser.
His new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting bandits in Papua New Guinea and the Solomons, protecting CNN newsmen as the US 7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad with the outbreak of the Iraq War and facing death on a massive scale as he accompanies reporters into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda Ache, flattened by the Boxing Day tsunami.
During his 24 days in an Indian gaol, Paul Jordan discovers that friendship and human dignity somehow survive the filth and deprivation.
The Easy Day Was Yesterday is fast paced, brutally honest, raw and laced with dark humour. The core of Paul Jordan's eventful life, it shows the ability of the human spirit to survive even in the direst adversity.

Title: My Ayahuasca Night Experiencing the Truths of Buddhism
Author: Michael Weber
Narrator: John James
Format: Unabridged
Length: 28 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-20-17
Publisher: Michael Weber
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
A wake-up call from the void! Raw, startling, and seductive, this is a book for those who want to know how ayahuasca works, as well as for anyone who is drawn to Buddhism or intrigued by what it means to be human.
My Ayahuasca Night Experiencing the Truth of Buddhism is a poignant story of self-discovery, a personal account of a journey into the secrets of human condition. While it represents an intimate and detailed recounting of a single ayahuasca ceremony - an eye-opening read for those who never tried it - the narrative also explores trials we all have in common: beliefs, suffering, and ego. Whether you are intrigued by the mystical plant mixture or seeking deeper truths about life, this is a must-read!
As the author himself says: "Inside, I suspect, we are quite similar in some ways, like having an unordinary curiosity about us and the life we were given. I believe we all come with certain threads baked in and those of us sufficiently curious and fearless will pull on them and detour on unpredictable paths in our lives. Although these diversions may appear random, the experiences they produce prove related and coherent."

Title: The Story of Mary MacLane
Author: Mary MacLane
Narrator: Candle Swift
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-20-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
From the beginning, MacLane's writing was characterized by a direct, fiery, highly individualistic style. At the age of 19 in 1901, MacLane wrote her first book, titled by its author "I Await the Devil's Coming" but changed by its publishers to "The Story of Mary MacLane". It sold 100,000 copies in the first month and was powerfully influential on young women. Some critics have suggested that even by today's standards, MacLane's writing is raw, honest, unflinching, self-aware, sensual, and extreme. She wrote openly about egoism and her own self-love, about sexual attraction and love for other women, and even about her desire to marry the Devil.

Artist Bio Author: Mary MacLane (1881-1929) was a controversial Canadian-born American writer whose frank memoirs helped usher in the confessional style of autobiographical writing. MacLane was known as the "Wild Woman of Butte".

Narrator: Lawrence Skinner
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-20-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
"Beasts, Men and Gods" (1922) is a historical memoir by Ferdinand Ossendowski.

Excerpt from the Introduction:
Dr. Albert Shaw of the "Review of Reviews", after reading the manuscript, characterized the author as "The Robinson Crusoe of the Twentieth Century". I desire, therefore, to assure the reader at the outset that Dr. Ossendowski is a man of long and diverse experience as a scientist and writer with a training for careful observation which should put the stamp of accuracy and reliability on his chronicle. Only the extraordinary events of these extraordinary times could have thrown one with so many talents back into the surroundings of the "Cave Man" and thus given to us this unusual account of personal adventure, of great human mysteries and of the political and religious motives which are energizing the "Heart of Asia." - LEWIS STANTON PALEN

Artist Bio Author:
Ferdinand Ossendowski (1876-1945) was a Polish writer, explorer, professor, and anti-Communist political activist, known for his books about Lenin and the Russian Civil War in which he participated.

Summary:
"Over the Top" (1917) is a World War I memoir by Arthur Guy Empey.

From the Foreword:
During sixteen years of "roughing it", knocking around the world, I have had ample opportunity of studying, at close range, many different peoples, their ideals, their hopes and principles. Through this I have become convinced of the nobility, truth, and justice of the Allies' cause, and know their fight to be our fight, because it espouses the principles of the United States of America, democracy, justice, and liberty. To the average American who has not lived and fought with him, the Englishman appears to be distant, reserved, a slow thinker, and lacking in humor, but from my association with the man who inhabits the British Isles I find that this opinion is unjust. It is my fondest hope that Uncle Sam and John Bull, arms locked, as mates, good and true, each knowing and appreciating the worth of the other, will wend their way through the years to come, happy and contented in each other's company.

Artist Bio Author: Arthur Guy Empey (1883-1963) was an American professional soldier, who, at the end of 1915, voluntarily joined the British Army in World War I. He became an author, screenwriter, actor and producer.

Release date: 12-19-17
Publisher: Alan Gale

Summary:
Our son Harry died in my arms when he was 10 months old.
He had actually survived far longer than experts had predicted. Cared for by Acorns Children's Hospice, his support had cost over 100,000.
Years later, inspired by another bereaved parent, I decided I would undertake a sponsored physical challenge that would take me well beyond my personal comfort zone: Having never swum further than around a mile, I decided to attempt swimming the infamous English Channel.
This book charts Harry's short life, and tells the back-story of my Channel attempt, as shown on BBC4's Swim the Channel documentary.

Title: The Woman Who Fooled the World
Author: Beau Donelly, Nick Toscano
Narrator: James Saunders
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs
Language: English
Release date: 12-18-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Belle Gibson convinced the world she had healed herself from terminal brain cancer with a healthy diet. She built a global business based upon her claims. There was just one problem: she'd never had cancer.
In 2015, journalists uncovered the truth: this hero of the wellness world, with over 200,000 followers, international book deals and a best-selling smartphone app, was a fraud. She had lied about having cancer - to her family and friends, to her business partners and publishers, and to the hundreds of thousands of people, including genuine cancer survivors, who were inspired by her Instagram posts.
Written by the same multiaward-winning journalists who uncovered the details of Gibson's lies, The Woman Who Fooled the World tracks the 23-year-old's rise to fame and fall from grace. Told through interviews with the people who know her best, it unravels the mystery and motivation behind this deception and follows the public reaction to a scandal that made headlines around the world.
The Woman Who Fooled the World explores the lure of alternative cancer treatments, the cottage industry flourishing behind the wellness and 'clean eating' movements and the power of social media. It documents the devastating impact this con had on Gibson's fans and on people suffering from cancer. Ultimately, it answers not just how but why Gibson was able to fool so many.

Narrator: Susan Godfrey
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-14-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
On September 11, 2001, the world changed forever when ruthless Al-Qaeda terrorists launched an aerial attack on the United States of America. Oblivious to the world's terror, Kay and Kerry Danes sat half a world away, secure in an embassy after a terrifying 11-month hostage ordeal in communist Laos. As fear gripped the globe, Kerry, an Australian Special Forces soldier, comforted his wife, Kay, as they struggled to come to terms with their hellish ordeal of torture, mock executions and the helplessness of leaving behind 58 political prisoners of a long forgotten war. The couple's hopes focused only on seeing their children again.
In the years after regaining their freedom and working to re-piece together family life, Kerry returned to active duty with the Special Forces, and Kay turned her dark experiences towards creating social justice, over the years becoming a leading international humanitarian. In November 2008, amidst haunting memories of her Laos ordeal, Kay faced her fears and embarked on a humanitarian aid mission to deliver life-changing opportunities and aid to people devastated in war-torn Afghanistan. In an old dusty Toyota mini-van, armed only with hope, Kay and her companions, a florist from Arizona, a nurse from Texas, a public servant from Australia and a US Marine Korean War veteran, drove the ancient Silk Road amidst kidnappings, suicide bombings, carnage and chaos. This powerful story will have you gripping your chair and holding your breath as you travel with Kay through Taliban strongholds and the remote wastelands of Al Qaeda terrorists. Her story provides a rare glimpse of places we may never visit and the courageous Afghan people determined to persevere against overwhelming odds. Beneath the Pale Blue Burqa is a truly inspiring journey and an important contribution to the selfless efforts of all who have gone before to brave the perils of Afghanistan. Including a foreword by Afghan Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Title: A Sinner in Mecca
Author: Parvez Sharma
Narrator: Parvez Sharma
Format: Unabridged
Length: 17 hrs and 28 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-14-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
The Hajj pilgrimage is a journey every Muslim is commanded by God to go on at least once in a lifetime if they are able and, like millions, Parvez Sharma believes his spiritual salvation lies at Islam's ground zero, Mecca. But unlike the journeys of his fellow Muslims, the consequences of his own could be deadly.
In A Sinner in Mecca, author and filmmaker Parvez chronicles his pilgrimage as a very openly gay Muslim to Saudi Arabia, where Islam's heart beats...and where being true to himself is punishable by death. Risking his life, Parvez embarks on a Jihad of the self-filming his experience along the way. Already under fire for his documentary A Jihad for Love, which looks at the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality, he would undoubtedly face savage punishment if exposed - from being thrown off a cliff to public beheading.
Parvez's odyssey is at once audacious, global, and remarkable. He meets everyone from extremists to explorers of the spiritual kind, and the world they open up is frightening...yet breathtaking. In Mecca, Parvez comes out to a pilgrim, who then asks him why he would want to be part of something that wants no part of him. This book is his answer to this question and many more.

Publisher: Silverton Agency

I grew up in Normal, Illinois, but had lived in New Jersey for more than 30 years when my father died at the age of 84. I was 54 at the time and soon learned that family secrets had been kept from me. Strange deaths, tragedies, indiscretions, and relationships lay in my past, totally hidden. It took me seven years to uncover these secrets from personal interviews, genealogical studies, public records, and cutting-edge scientific work done by worldwide experts.
Along the way, I trace my own life path from wanting to be a mechanic to gaining a master's degree at MIT and working at a famous research laboratory. I also tell my own 50-year love story. The secrets are now known, and I thought it was time at the age of 79 that I should write this memoir to tell you all about my Normal Secrets.

Title: Antarctic Tears

Narrator: Aaron Linsdau
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-12-17
Publisher: Sastrugi Press
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Emotions run high in this true polar adventure. It's a story of triumph, harrowing danger, and outright adventure.
In 2012, Aaron Linsdau left his entire life behind. Gone was the engineering career. He told his family and girlfriend that he wanted to pursue a dream to do something no other American had ever accomplished. He wanted to be the first to ski from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without aid or support. Alone.
The journey to the South Pole covers over 700 miles through the most forbidding frozen terrain on the planet. The temperature is always below zero and gale force winds routinely roar across the ice. The polar plateau is devoid of life. There are no plants, animals, or insects. Antarctica provides no shelter, no protection, and is unforgiving of any mistake.
Before the expedition was to start, there was much to do. Linsdau trekked 100 miles across the Greenland tundra. He skied across Yellowstone in the winter, camping in -45 degree temperatures. Towing tires up mountains and eating 4000 calories a day was preparation for Antarctica.
Previous expeditions have lost tents, helplessly watching them blow over the horizon. Many explorers have quit or been rescued. What began as a brave adventure into the unknown turned into a battle for survival.
Linsdau takes the listener to Antarctica. They experience incredible storms, skiing blind through whiteouts, crossing invisible crevasses, and skirting disaster. The audiobook tells what happened every day of the expedition.
The air is cold enough to freeze water in seconds and cause frostbite in minutes. Only outer space is less hospitable. Driven by passion, he sacrifices nearly everything to make his dream come true. This is a story about personal discovery, testing the limits of human endurance, total dedication to achieving a goal, and never giving up even when both body and equipment fail.
There were many surprises during Aaron Linsdau's expedition to the South Pole.... Linsdau speaks about this extraordinary experience to audiences worldwide.

Title: Indiana After Dark: A Memoir

Narrator: Michael Goldsmith
Format: Unabridged
Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-07-17
Publisher: David Byron
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Endings are easy. New beginnings are hard. It all seems like a life time ago now. Then again, when youve spent half of your life chasing ghosts, you tend to lose track of time in the sense that most of us experience it. That, along with having been a career alcoholic, tends to cloud a persons mind just a tad bit after so many lost years go by like a blur. So says the author of this riveting memoir, who spent 25 years of his life as an alcoholic. Now sober since 2007, he provides the reader with a nightmarish vision into the mind of a man who, once a normal, average teenager, quickly turned into a chronic alcoholic to escape the loneliness of his sad home life - and looking for love in all the wrong places. Sad, grim, but often times poignant and sweet, Indiana After Dark provides a glimpse into a life of a man teetering on the edge of darkness - and finding his way back to the light through a nightmarish haze of diversity.

Titre: Vivre sur mars
Auteur: Cyprien Verseux
Narrateur: Mathieu Buscatto
Format: Unabridged
Durée: 8 hrs
Langue: Français
Date de publication: 12-07-17
Éditeur: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Résumé:
Une plongée fascinante au cœur de la prochaine grande conquête de l'homme : la planète Mars.

Pendant un an, six scientifiques et ingénieurs ont vécu isolés dans un dôme blanc de onze mètres de diamètre perché sur le volcan Mauna Loa, à Hawaii. Durant cette période, ils n'ont jamais été à l'air libre puisque, lors de leurs sorties à l'extérieur au cours desquelles ils exploraient des tunnels de lave et effectuaient diverses tâches scientifiques, ils portaient une combinaison spatiale. Ils n'avaient en stock que de la nourriture déshydratée, dépendaient de panneaux solaires et prenaient au plus deux douches d'une trentaine de secondes par semaine. Ils ne voyaient et n'entendaient personne au-delà de leurs cinq coéquipiers, leurs communications avec l'extérieur étant limitées à des e-mails retardés de 20 minutes (pour simuler le temps de transmission de Mars à la Terre, sans connexion Internet).

Cyprien Verseux, le petit garçon qui "aimait trop regarder les étoiles", était l'un des astrobiologistes à vivre cette aventure. Il revient sur cette extraordinaire expérience à mi-chemin entre le film Seul sur Mars et un "Loft" de brillants scientifiques. Il témoigne de ce quotidien hors norme rythmé par les études scientifiques, les simulations d'incidents techniques, les loisirs qu'il faut réinventer et les rationnements.

De la sélection digne d'un film de science-fiction américain aux préparatifs de cette mission pas comme les autres, en passant par l'entraînement, l'excitation du départ, l'étrangeté des adieux et une nouvelle vie à créer sous le dôme, Cyprien revient avec humour et pédagogie sur toutes les étapes-clés de ses 365 jours pas comme les autres, ainsi que sur ce que représentent les recherches et essais scientifiques pour notre futur terrestre, mais aussi, peut-être, martien !

Length: 9 hrs and 26 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-06-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
From the author of the best-selling memoir North of Normal comes the harrowing story of a past that won't let go, and one woman's attempt to put her life back together after everything falls apart
In her best-selling memoir North of Normal, Cea wrote with grace about her unconventional childhood - her early years living in a tipi in Alberta with her pot-smoking, free-loving counterculture family. But her struggles do not end when she leaves her family at the age of 13 to become a model. Honest and daring, Nearly Normal reveals the many ways that Cea's unconventional childhood continues to reverberate through the years.
At the age of 37, Cea has built a life that looks like the normal one she craved as a child - husband, young son, beautiful house, enviable career. But her carefully art-directed world is about to crumble around her. As she confronts the death of her still-young mother, the disintegration of her second marriage and the demise of her business, all within a few months, she finally faces the need to look at her past to make sense of her present.
The Globe and Mail says "Person's best gifts as a writer are her memory, her knack for knowing when to dig down into the finer details of a scene, and when to pull back." Nearly Normal chronicles the many stories Cea left untold but that needed telling. Settled into a new and much happier life after the release of her first book, she is nonetheless compelled to continue searching for answers about her enigmatic family. She discovers the value in the lessons they taught her, and the power of taking responsibility for her own choices.

As a foreign correspondent, he travelled the world, reporting from Somalia, covering the IRA bombings, narrowly avoiding being murdered by a mob in Soweto; the Balkans were at war; the tanks were rumbling in the streets of Moscow. Back in South Africa he got a chance to see up close the genius and humanity of the great Nelson Mandela. And then the Rwandan genocide began, and Hugh was despatched to investigate - with former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser tagging along.
As the French prepare to resume nuclear testing in the Pacific, Hugh flew to Tahiti to be caught in the middle of the protest riots. After a day of being teargassed and watching his hire car getting torched, evening fell with the capital Papeete in flames. His reporting won him a Logie Award.
Over nearly 40 years, he has been shot at, blown up, threatened with deportation and thrown in jail. He has reported from nearly 50 countries, witnessed massacres in Africa, wars and conflicts on four continents, and every kind of natural disaster.
He has also been a frontline witness to pivotal moments in Australian history, from the Port Arthur massacre to the political dramas of Canberra, receiving almost every major journalism award Australia has to offer.
Minefields is Hugh's fascinating story of over 40 years on the front line of the news game.
