Ejnar Mikkelsen was devoted to Arctic exploration. In 1910 he decided to search for the diaries of the ill-fated Mylius-Erichsen expedition, which had set out to prove that Robert Peary’s outline of the East Greenland coast was a myth, erroneous and presumably self-serving. Iver Iversen was a mechanic who joined Mikkelsen in Iceland when the expedition’s boat needed repair.

Both kinds, and all the ones in between, require basic knowledge of how the room works. These fundamentals are best learned before you go in. The mystery box of the writers’ room need not stay sealed shut forever. Consider this audiobook your crowbar.

When my best friend and the only person who knows who - and what - I really am gets selected for the Mating Games, I know the only way to save her is to try and win her for myself. All I need to do is navigate three trials while not letting anyone know I'm a woman, or, and this might be even more important, that I have magic. Easy, right? Easier than slaving away for all hours of the day swinging an ax in the mines. Or so I thought. I certainly didn't count on the one man I've longed for, the one man who stirs feelings of femininity and desire within me, to enter the games as well.

Bruce and Mike finally made it home. But the battle for the future has just begun.

Now, as they gather an armory of military weaponry from abandoned outposts all across the countryside, Bruce and his growing clan of survivors realize the truth — their compound can be the beginning of a new and rebuilt world.

Filmmaker Tom Opre spent over three years documenting a remote Zambian community led by a woman chief who took bold action against wildlife poaching to break the cycle of poverty. For generations, the people lived off the land and partnered with the safari hunting industry, which funded wildlife protection and brought income. But after a hunting ban in 2001–2002, poaching gangs took over. In just 15 years, once-abundant wildlife—including Africa’s Big Five—was decimated. No outfitter would invest in an empty concession. The people faced hopelessness.
