June is Audiobook Month: Science & Innovation

June is Audiobook Month! To celebrate, borrow a Nonfiction audiobook from Carnegie-Stout Public Library's collection. Here are a few titles on scientific exploration and human achievement that you might enjoy:

The Tangled Tree by David Quammen
David Quammen specializes in writing nonfiction about science and travel, and the occasional thriller novel. The Tangled Tree is an accessible and engaging account of recent discoveries in biology and evolution. Jacques Roy narrates the audiobook with crisp, yet unhurried, professionalism.




Paper by Mark Kurlansky
Mark Kurlansky is known for his carefully researched and richly detailed accounts of unexpected topics. In Paper, Kurlansky explores the ways that this seemingly boring product has shaped human history. Andrew Garman narrates the audiobook with a command of the facts that aids, rather than distracts, from the interesting details.



Spooky Action at a Distance by George Musser
Journalist George Musser has created an accessible book on a complicated topic: nonlocality, or quantum entanglement, a question that has interested physicists since Albert Einstein labeled it as “spooky action at a distance.” The audiobook is narrated by William Hughes with energy and a crisp delivery.




Science of the Magical by Matt Kaplan
Journalist Matt Kaplan explores the scientific truths behind our myths of the supernatural, from ancient Vikings to Captain America. This fascinating book is a great pick for fans of Mary Roach. The audiobook is narrated by Eric Michael Summerer with confidence and a skill for pacing.
