Download or read book Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder written by Julia Zarankin and published by Douglas & McIntyre. This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Julia Zarankin saw her first red-winged blackbird at the age of thirty-five, she didn’t expect that it would change her life. Recently divorced and auditioning hobbies during a stressful career transition, she stumbled on birdwatching, initially out of curiosity for the strange breed of humans who wear multi-pocketed vests, carry spotting scopes and discuss the finer points of optics with disturbing fervour. What she never could have predicted was that she would become one of them. Not only would she come to identify proudly as a birder, but birding would ultimately lead her to find love, uncover a new language and lay down her roots. Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder tells the story of finding meaning in midlife through birds. The book follows the peregrinations of a narrator who learns more from birds than she ever anticipated, as she begins to realize that she herself is a migratory species: born in the former Soviet Union, growing up in Vancouver and Toronto, studying and working in the United States and living in Paris. Coming from a Russian immigrant family of concert pianists who believed that the outdoors were for “other people,” Julia Zarankin recounts the challenges and joys of unexpectedly discovering one’s wild side and finding one’s tribe in the unlikeliest of places. Zarankin’s thoughtful and witty anecdotes illuminate the joyful experience of a new discovery and the surprising pleasure to be found while standing still on the edge of a lake at six a.m. In addition to confirmed nature enthusiasts, this book will appeal to readers of literary memoir, offering keen insight on what it takes to find one’s place in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan’s uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narrator—who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accident—and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel. For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger. On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her. As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more. If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

Download or read book Vanished Echoes A Breaking News Story written by Luigi Pascal Rondanini and published by Luigi Pascal Rondanini . This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an ingenious mixture of fiction and dramatized news coverage, "Vanished Echoes" transports readers into an abducting child incident which fires the worst instincts and most profound divisions of modern Britain. So when Lucy Carver, aged ten, vanishes, leaving no trace, the hunt for clues only inflames smouldering bombs around race, immigration and trust in institutions. As the country collapses into tumult, we look through them with a critical lens, which makes evident how human nature at its very worst and best is revealed in moments of crisis. The mass media—a friend and a foe—rallies millions to hope and ultimately breeds disunity. While reason gives way to suspicion, passion diminishes. As the lives of innocent people are sacrificed (for it was no accident that the arsonist torched a boat full of immigrants), one small community's conscience is put to the test - and even a nation's character. Combining mesmerising suspense with thoughtful insight, this audacious debut novel from Luigi Pascal Rondanini is a shout throughout the urgent warning system. Whether concern turns away or hatred takes power, it is still the same. And vanishing echoes sound a cautionary alarm to be heeded before shadows swallow our shared humanity.

This cutting-edge volume analyses the blurring boundaries between news and social media, facts and stories, highlighting how new media categories such as influencers and memes can take on the status of news for young audiences and shape their understanding of themselves and the world.
