After ten months of grueling audio work, I have finished an amazing audiobook that will be published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press in Fall of 2012!

You can read a write-up and listen to clips here:

I have also finished a remaster of a set of Menominee Language CDs which I may submit to Audible as well.

Major new work in progress!

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I have been producing an audiobook for the Wisconsin Historical Society Press based on one of their major sellers. It should be out later this year. When this is done there will be more new Ascendant titles, focusing on environmental topics, as well as some other interesting projects...

Emerson on Nature

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Here's an excerpt from our review in the September, 2010 Audiofile magazine:

"...his (Emerson's) 1836 essay “Nature” was one of the seminal texts of his thought. This collection includes that first essay, plus two other essential Emerson texts: “The Over-Soul” (1841) and “Nature” (a later text with the same name, 1844). Together, these three essays give an excellent overview of Emerson's main philosophical themes."

We are currently researching more titles continuing in the environmental philosophy vein - if you have any you would like to hear, contact us!

Essential Emerson correct at Audible

Fri, 14 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Audible has corrected the mixup and our latest title "Emerson on Nature" should be up on Audible soon as well.

We are researching a whole line of environmental titles that should be of both great interest to general listeners and not generally available from most publishers...

have a great summer!

Audible mix-up

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

We want our listeners to be aware that Audible has mixed up our Emerson titles, re-titling Essential Emerson with the new release title, Emerson on Nature. We are working on this problem and hope to have both of our releases up and available as soon as possible.

New release!
