  Rusty Brown

  ***FINALIST FOR THE 2020 PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD*** *** NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR *** A major graphic novel event more than 18 years in progress: part one of the ongoing bifurcated masterwork from the brilliant and beloved author of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth and Building Stories. Rusty Brown is a fully interactive, full-color articulation of the time-space interrelationships of three complete consciousnesses in the first half of a single midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit. A sprawling, special snowflake accumulation of the biggest themes and the smallest moments of life, Rusty Brown literately and literally aims at nothing less than the coalescence of one half of all of existence into a single museum-quality picture story, expertly arranged to present the most convincingly ineffable and empathetic illusion of experience for both life-curious readers and traditional fans of standard reality. From childhood to old age, no frozen plotline is left unthawed in the entangled stories of a child who awakens without superpowers, a teen who matures into a paternal despot, a father who stores his emotional regrets on the surface of Mars and a late-middle-aged woman who seeks the love of only one other person on planet Earth.

  How to Live a Yogic Lifestyle, Hörbuch, Digital, 351min

  Goat yoga. Beer yoga. Dance party yoga. Wine and chocolate yoga. Based on the popularity and prevalence (and creativity) of yoga styles in Western culture today, it seems like anything counts as yoga. But how true is this to the original, authentic practice? To truly live a yogic lifestyle, you have to understand the true purpose of yoga: to help us learn to work systematically with our minds and with our bodies to better navigate the world outside us - and within us. No, you don’t need to be Hindu to live a yogic lifestyle. But you do need to broaden your awareness of how your lifestyle choices affect, and are affected by, the world around you. In just 10 lessons, yogi, cognitive psychologist, and international yoga teacher Heidi Sormaz guides you through rewarding perspectives on an enlightening lifestyle. How to Live a Yogic Lifestyle reveals what, exactly, people are doing when they practice yoga - and what, exactly, yoga teachers are teaching. Forget about conflicting, confusing information. This authoritative Audible Original shows you how to start practicing yoga from where you are, and how to create a lifestyle of consciously shaping your attitudes and actions according to this ancient and modern philosophy of thought and motion. That ineffable feeling that lingers in the air after an invigorating yoga class (outdoor or indoor, hot or cold)? You’ll feel the same after spending time with these lessons, too.©2021 Heidi Sormaz, LLC (P)2021 Audible Originals, LLC                               Language: English. Narrator: Heidi Sormaz.

  The Darker the Night, the Brighter the Stars: A Neuropsychologist's Odyssey Through Consciousness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min

  When celebrated neuropsychologist Paul Broks' wife died of cancer, it sparked a journey of grief and reflection that traced a lifelong attempt to understand how the brain gives rise to the soul. The result of that journey is a gorgeous, evocative meditation on fate, death, consciousness, and what it means to be human. The Darker the Night, the Brighter the Stars weaves a scientist’s understanding of the mind - its logic, its nuance, how we think about what makes a person - with a poet’s approach to humanity, that crucial and ever-elusive why. It’s a story that unfolds through the centuries, along the path of humankind’s constant quest to discover what makes us human, and the answers that consistently slip out of our grasp. It’s modern medicine and psychology and ancient tales; history and myth combined; fiction and the stranger truth. But, most importantly, it’s Broks’ story, grounded in his own most fascinating cases as a clinician - patients with brain injuries that revealed something fundamental about the link between the raw stuff of our bodies and brains and the ineffable selves we take for who we are. Tracing a loose arc of loss, acceptance, and renewal, he unfolds striking, imaginative stories of everything from Schopenhauer to the Greek philosophers to jazz guitarist Pat Martino in order to sketch a multifaceted view of humanness that is as heartbreaking at it is affirming. ungekürzt.

  The Seduction of Certainty: A New Way of Looking at Faith, Knowledge, Science, Religion, Politics, and the Media , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min

  What is the Seduction of Certainty? And do we really need a new way of looking at faith, knowledge, science, religion, politics, and the media? Writer Mike Luoma believes we do, and delves into the ways we fool ourselves into believing our metaphors are truths. This book covers its subject in sharp, concise fashion, delivering numerous insights in its compact form.There is an element of faith in any human endeavor. There has to be. Because certainty is an illusion. Whatever metaphors we use to cope with the world's basic uncertainty will be human constructs attempting to define the undefinable, the human mind attempting to encompass itself. We label things and build systems to explain the world to ourselves. We have to!The trap is in losing oneself in the metaphor, in convincing oneself the metaphor isn't merely one way of trying to define the ineffable, but the way - losing the sense of metaphor to that sense of "truth" and certainty. It is seductive, that certainty. But that same certitude becomes destructive when and if reality begins throwing up things that challenge the faith in that certainty. At best, the certitude leads its believers to ignore and reject any evidence contrary to their belief systems. At worst, it leads to violent suppression of contrary ideas.We need to see our metaphors - all of them - for what they are: attempts to put labels on and to describe a reality which is actually beyond our complete comprehension. ungekürzt.

  Hannibal: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 366min

  Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense. Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is still at large, pursuing his own ineffable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best. Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.  Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Harris.

  Crater Lake National Park, Audio Tour: An Insider’s Guide, Hörbuch, Digital, 59min

  Crater Lake National Park is a rare place of ineffable, distracting beauty. Its lake - Crater Lake - is remarkable. It is the deepest lake in the United States and the deepest volcanic lake in the world. The lake formed when Mount Mazama (one of the many ancient volcanic peaks that dot the landscape like a string of pearls stretching from British Columbia to Northern California) exploded in a violent eruption about 7,700 years ago. One of the most powerful eruptions to occur in this part of the world (nearly 400 times more powerful than Mount St. Helens' 1980 eruption), it left behind a deep caldera that over time filled with rain and snowmelt. The lake has no inlets or outlets, so its waters are some of the clearest, most pristine in the world, and it maintains an average depth of about 2,000 feet. Your views from any vantage point along the 33-mile Rim Drive are of sparkling, sapphire-blue waters cradled by towering caldera walls. And rising from the lake's surface are the fascinating cinder cones of Wizard Island and Phantom Ship. Our 60-minute PARK-APPROVED audio tour will unveil the mysteries about Crater Lake's volcanic origins. It features not only the biologist who went to the bottom in a submersible but park rangers, an historian, and local Native Americans who will tell you about the lake's blue water, life at the bottom, its forests, flowers, birds, animals, winter snows, and its colorful cultural history. Professionally narrated and filled with music and nature sounds, this 60-minute audio tour is as entertaining as it is educational. Language: English. Narrator: Lisa Dillingham.

  Why Don't You Kill Yourself: It's Math Not Magic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min

  This audiobook has nothing to do with killing yourself; it's about the reasons why you wouldn't. Why Don't You Kill Yourself is the title because most of us would never consider killing ourselves. The thought may have crossed our mind at some extremely difficult point in our life, but we didn't. We didn't do it then, and we wouldn't do it now. One of the reasons is because we have some things we would like to accomplish or create in this life. Even though every one of us has a reason, conscious or subconscious, we wouldn't consider killing ourselves; very few of us actually act on these dreams, turn these dreams into goals and go for it. This audiobook is about getting on with it and is about the business of making these dreams happen. Life is about, or should be about, following your dreams. It's about working through the snags, tearing down the walls, and swimming through the mud that is in the way of your dreams. It's about feeling the unbelievable, ineffable feeling of pushing through everything to get to who you always wanted to be, doing what you always wanted to do, having what you always wanted to have, and feeling what you always wanted to feel. It's about looking back and being proud of what you overcame to get to where and who you are. It's about slowly, or quickly, forming the discipline and the habits to overcome, or go around, anything that gets in the way of your dreams. Life is about having a purpose and a reason for being here. ungekürzt. Language: English.
