Anxious to attack the enemy, Johnston began concentrating Southern forces at Corinth, a major railroad center just below the Tennessee border.

This audiobook is a journey I am on: a journey many others have joined me on, and one I will happily take you on. The journey is firstly about becoming conscious of how we tend to live, believing that we need to be able to make life happen for us and ours.

Once we become conscious of this, the journey then walks us out of the captivity and heaviness of having to make life happen.

There is no doubt science is currently suffering from a credibility crisis. This thought-provoking book argues that, ironically, science’s credibility is being undermined by tools created by scientists themselves.

This is an audiobook of short stories of everyday human emotional experiences. Stories of profound loss, of great friendships, of growing old with a dog, of going to war, and of course, stories of deep romantic love.
