The Secret of Fire 5
Summary
Fire 5 is a special roving unit which comes to the aid of other fire companies that run into trouble all over the city. Its story is told by one of the men of the unit, Charly Sprockett, and from the very first scene Jack Olsen hooks the listener with his remarkable ability to write dialogue that rings true and to create characters who jump to life. We live with the men in the station, take drills with them, hear them swap funny stories, marital woes and sexual adventures. We watch them razz the probies, initiate their first fireperson, Lulu Ann Tompkins, and unite in common hatred of their tyrannical new battalion chief, H. Walker Slater. We see them crawl through burning buildings, dragging out people trapped within. We join the hilarity when they come to the rescue of a 400-pound woman who gets stuck in her bathtub, and we root for Charly as he climbs out on an overpass over a freeway to talk a desperate young girl out of leaping to her death. But beneath the ribald humor lies an urgent suspense story. Somewhere in the city lurks the firefighter's deadliest enemy - a torch - a vicious arsonist who has been pouring gasoline over derelicts and setting them aflame. Funny, touching, exciting, true, The Secret of Fire 5 seems headed for certain success.

Memory Improvement Techniques Made Easy: Simple Methods to Boost Your Memory
Summary
The information presented in this audiobook is in no way exhaustive and focuses on some basic things that can be done to improve your own or someone else's memory. Memory is a big concern to many persons, as without it one cannot function effectively. It really affects those who have family members who have diseases that negatively affect memory, like Alzheimer's or dementia. As such they are seeking any method possible that is safe to use to improve that family member's memory or to boost their own enough to be able to recall things effectively for a long period of time. The audiobook looks at it in stages, moving from the methods that require professionals right down to things that can be done in addition to that to help boost memory function. The author goes to great lengths to explain everything in simple terms so it can easily be understood. The author also makes no effort to force any method on the listener. Everything is presented, and then the listener is left to make the decision on whether or not he or she wants to try any of the methods that are outlined. The great thing we learn is that not every method is clinical. Jason Newman grew up in a household that had individuals suffering from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and as such developed a keen interest from an early age in ways in which things can be done by parents, caregivers, and friends, and of course doctors, to make the day-to-day existence of an individual with ADD/ADHD as easy as possible. He then opted to major in psychology and do some other courses on behavioral therapy and improving memory, among other things. Through the knowledge he gained from his research, he was able to write a number of books on the subject, including ADHD in Adults and Children: How To Beat ADD and ADHD.

The Bridge at Chappaquiddick
Summary
And on its surface, the Chappaquiddick Incident (as it has infamously become known) was a simple but tragic traffic accident. However, its political fallout caused it to become the most speculated-upon car accident until Princess Diana's fatal ride, some 28 years later: Was Kennedy drunk? Was he trying to conceal an affair by deliberately killing Kopechne? Why did he wait for so long before reporting the accident? And who else was involved? Olsen tells the tale with as much detail as was made available to him. Though there is apparently only a single living eye-witness to the accident (Kennedy himself, who described having the "sensation of drowning" on live television a week later), Olsen tracks down the incongruous statements made by others who were indirectly involved and comes to a potential conclusion which would be difficult to refute. There is no legal evidence of this conclusion, of course, but his alternate explanation of events turns much of the circumstantial evidence into a logic-of-sorts. And his presentation thereof causes one to reflect seriously on the nature of the official record of events as told through Kennedy's lips.
