Failure to do so will cause catastrophic climate damage sooner than you might think, leading to loss of biodiversity and economic and political instability. But all is not lost! We still have time to save the planet without resorting to 'miracle' technologies. We need to wave goodbye to outdated technologies, such as natural gas and carbon capture, and repurpose the technologies that we already have at our disposal. We can use existing technologies to harness, store, and transmit energy from wind, water, and solar sources to ensure reliable electricity, heat supplies, and energy security. Find out what you can do to improve the health, climate, and economic state of our planet.

Title: The Private Lives of Public Birds: Learning to Listen to the Birds Where We Live

Author: Jack Gedney

Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 15 minutes

Release date: January 23, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

A book to help the ordinary birdwatcher appreciate the fascinating songs, stories, and science of common birds. Jack Gedney's studies of birds provide resonant, affirming answers to the questions: Who is this bird? In what way is it beautiful? Why does it matter? Masterfully linking an abundance of poetic references with up-to-date biological science, Gedney shares his devotion to everyday Western birds in fifteen essays. Each essay illuminates the life of a single species and its relationship to humans, and how these species can help us understand birds in general. A dedicated birdwatcher and teacher, Gedney finds wonder not only in the speed and glistening beauty of the Anna's hummingbird, but also in her nest building. He acclaims the turkey vulture's and red-tailed hawk's roles in our ecosystem, and he venerates the inimitable California scrub jay's work planting acorns. Knowing that we hear birds much more often than we see them, Gedney offers his expert's ear to help us not only identify bird songs and calls but also understand what the birds are saying. The crowd at the suet feeder will never look quite the same again. Join Gedney in the enchanted world of these not-so-ordinary birds.

Title: Racing To Extinction

Author: Sue Coulstock, Lyle Lewis

Narrator: Lyle Lewis, Heather Henderson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 15 minutes

Release date: January 22, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing. A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance. Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson

Title: [German] - Manchmal kann Glück eben stinken: Klartext in Sachen Hundehaltung

Author: Silvia Dober

Narrator: Patrizia Puertas Alvarez

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 55 minutes

Release date: January 17, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Wer sein Haus und sein Leben wie die Autorin mit mehreren Hunden teilt, kann ein Lied davon singen, dass nicht immer alles Veilchenduft und Liebreiz ist. Aber, so kommt sie zu dem Schluss, das Leben ist nunmal eine Mischkalkulation. Und so bleiben neben glücklichen Momenten auch so manche Diskussion im Dickschädeldialog und auch die unvermeidliche Seite des Abschiednehmens nicht aus. Das ganze Leben eben. Der geprüften Hundetrainerin und Tierverhaltensberaterin geht es aber nicht nur ums humorvolle Erzählen, was sie auf ihre schnoddrig-direkte Art ganz hervorragend kann, sondern auch um die Vermittlung der Erkenntnis, dass der zweibeinige Part in der Pflicht ist, sich durchaus etwas mehr Mühe in der Verbesserung der Kommunikation im Mensch-Hund-Dialog zu geben. Schließlich sind wir diejenigen mit der (hoffentlich) größeren Übersicht. Ein Buch zum Sich-Wiedererkennen, Lachen, Lernen, Tränchen verdrücken, Spaß haben und Verschenken an alle, die sich mit ganzem Herzen auf das Abenteuer Hund einlassen möchten!

Title: Inflamed: Abandonment, Heroism, and Outrage in Wine Country's Deadliest Firestorm

Author: Paul Gullixson, Anne E. Belden

Narrator: Janet Metzger

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 17 hours 11 minutes

Release date: January 16, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Just after midnight on October 9, 2017, as one of the nation's deadliest firestorms swept over California's Wine Country, hundreds of elderly residents from two posh senior living facilities were caught in its path. The frailest were blind, in wheelchairs, or diagnosed with dementia, and their community quickly transformed from a palatial complex that pledged to care for them to one that threatened to entomb them. The rescue of the final 105 seniors left behind on an inflamed hillside depended not on employees, but strangers whose lives intersected in a riveting tale of terror and heroism. Headlines blamed caregivers for abandonment and neglect, but the truth proved far more complex. Inflamed is the gripping and emotional narrative detailing what happened to these seniors, employees, and rescuers before, during, and after the Tubbs Fire decimated portions of Santa Rosa, including Oakmont Senior Living Villa Capri and part of Varenna at Fountaingrove. Anne Belden and Paul Gullixson are professional journalists and Sonoma County residents who spent three years recording each phase of the disaster in agonizing detail—from the botched evacuation and its excruciating aftermath to the investigations, lawsuits, and breakdowns that followed. They tell this harrowing story with a veracity and compassion only achieved by experienced reporters with local roots.
