The body [sound recording] : a guide for occupants / by Bryson, Bill,author,narrator.; Random House Audio Publishing,publisher.;
Read by the author."Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body. As compulsively readable as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-read owner's manual for everybody. Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body--how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you, in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, 'we pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted.' The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information."--

The Great War is over. The Robots have won. The humans who survived have two choices--they can submit and serve the vicious rulers they created or be banished to the Reserve, a desolate, unforgiving landscape where it's a crime to be human. And the robots aren't content--following the orders of their soulless leader, they're planning to conquer humanity's last refuge. With nothing left to lose, Six, a feisty, determined young woman whose family was killed with the first shots of the war, is a rebel with a cause. On the run for her life after an attempted massacre, Six is determined to save humanity before the robots finish what the Great War started and wipe humans off the face of the earth, once and for all.

How to be human / by Cocozza, Paula,author.;
"One hot summer's night, Mary comes home from a midnight ramble to find her neighbours' baby Flora lying on her back doorstep, desperately vulnerable on the concrete in her little white sleep suit. Has Mary, in her confusion and misery, stolen the baby from next door? Has Michelle, the baby's mother, left her there in her acute state of post-natal depression? Or was she brought to Mary as a gift by the fox who is increasingly coming to dominate her life? Off work with an undisclosed illness and intimidated by the presence of her ex-boyfriend, Mark, who has moved out but is never far away, Mary becomes progressively obsessed with the magnificent fox who is always in her garden--even as her relationship with her neighbours deteriorates and she becomes more and more isolated. First she sees him wink at her; then he brings her presents and shares her garden rug; and finally she invites him into her house. As the boundaries between the domestic and the wild blur, and the neighbours set out to exterminate the fox, it is unclear if Mary will save the fox, or the fox save Mary ..."--
