A trove of 111 ingenious tips for seeing more birds wherever you are—from crowd favorites (hummingbirds, owls, eagles) to species you've never spotted before Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible—whether you're on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard.

Title: The Nature of Desert Nature: Meditations on the Nature of Deserts

Author: Gary Paul Nabhan

Narrator: Angela Juarez, Gary Tiedemann

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 23 minutes

Release date: December 26, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called 'The Nature of Desert Nature' reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.

Title: Cyber Resilience: Defence-in-depth principles

Author: Alan Calder

Narrator: Alan Medcroft

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 20 minutes

Release date: December 22, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

We live in a world where technology and vast quantities of data play a considerable role in everyday life, both personal and professional. For the foreseeable future (and perhaps beyond), the growth and prominence of data in business shows no signs of slowing down, even if the technology in question will likely change in ways perhaps unimaginable today. Naturally, all this innovation brings huge opportunities and benefits to organisations and people alike. However, these come at more than just a financial cost. In the world as we know it, you can be attacked both physically and virtually. For today's organisations, which rely so heavily on technology – particularly the Internet – to do business, the latter attack is the far more threatening of the two. The cyber threat landscape is complex and constantly changing. For every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation. Worse, when a vulnerability is identified, a tool that can exploit it is often developed and used within hours – faster than the time it normally takes for the vendor to release a patch, and certainly quicker than the time many organisations take to install that patch. This book has been divided into two parts: - Part 1: Security principles. - Part 2: Reference controls.Part 1 is designed to give you a concise but solid grounding in the principles of good security, covering key terms, risk management, different aspects of security, defence in depth, implementation tips, and more. This part is best read from beginning to end. Part 2 is intended as a useful reference, discussing a wide range of good-practice controls (in alphabetical order) you may want to consider implementing. Each control is discussed at a high level, focusing on the broader principles, concepts and points to consider, rather than specific solutions. Each control has also been written as a stand-alone chapter, so you can just read the controls that interest you, in an order that suits you.

Title: Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us

Author: David Neiwert

Narrator: Gabriel Vaughan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 35 minutes

Release date: December 19, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

The orca—otherwise known as the killer whale—is one of earth's most intelligent animals. Remarkably sophisticated, orcas have languages and cultures and even long-term memories, and their capacity for echolocation is nothing short of a sixth sense. They are also benign and gentle, which makes the story of the captive-orca industry—and the endangerment of their population in Puget Sound—that much more damning. In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores an extraordinary species and its occasionally fraught relationship with human beings. Beginning with their role in myth and contemporary culture, Neiwert shows how killer whales came to capture our imaginations and brings to life the often-catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. In the tradition of Barry Lopez's classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert's book is a triumph of reporting, observation, and research, and a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom's most remarkable members.

Author: Barney A. Schlinger

Narrator: Jon Vertullo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 13 minutes

Release date: December 19, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Birds, hormones, and extraordinary behavior: The story of the tiny but mighty golden-collared manakin of Panama This book is the story of a remarkable bird, the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) of Panama. Males of this species perform one of the most elaborate, physically complex, and noisy courtship displays of any animal on the planet. Barney A. Schlinger delves into the specialized neurons, muscles, bones, and hormonal systems underlying the manakin's unique courtship behavior, creating a rich life-history account that integrates field observations and evolutionary biology with behavioral ecology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and general ornithology. The personal lives of investigators and the natural history of the Panamanian rainforest provide context for this account of the bird's fascinating behavior. Schlinger clearly and approachably explains basic concepts in disciplines such as avian anatomy, endocrinology, sexual differentiation, and the neurobiology of song and aeroacoustics, offering listeners a window into the biology of this exuberant bird. This enhanced audiobook edition includes two short clips of the bird sounds described in the book.

Title: Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education

Author: Tom Roderick

Narrator: Michael Butler Murray

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 49 minutes

Release date: December 19, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.

Title: Northeaster: A Story of Courage and Survival in the Blizzard of 1952

Author: Cathie Pelletier

Narrator: Morgan Bailey Keaton

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 25 minutes

Release date: December 19, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

For many, the past few years have been defined by climate disaster. Stories about once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts, and even snowstorms are now commonplace. But dramatic weather events are not new and Northeaster, Cathie Pelletier's breathtaking account of the 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England, offers a valuable reminder about nature's capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation. Northeaster weaves together a rich cast of characters whose lives were uprooted and endangered by the storm. Housewives and lobstermen, loggers and soldiers were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzard's chaos, there were remarkable acts of heroism and courageous generosities. Doctors braved the storm to help deliver babies. Ordinary people kept their wits while buried in their cars, and others made their way out of forests to find kindhearted strangers willing to take them in. It's likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. But Northeaster shows that we have it inside to fight for survival in some of the harshest conditions that nature has to offer.

Title: [German] - Seelenverwandte: Geschichten über Tierliebe

Author: Dankmar H. Isleib

Narrator: Michael J. Diekmann

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 25 minutes

Release date: December 13, 2023

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

'Mensch, erhebe dich nicht über die Tiere! Sie sind sündlos, du aber mit deiner Erhabenheit befleckst die Erde' In Anbetracht dessen, was gerade heute, im Herbst des Jahres 2023 auf der Welt geschieht, kann man Dostojewski doch nur zustimmen. Allein mit Liebe kann man dem von Menschen gemachtem Chaos, dem Hass, der Dummheit begegnen. Wenn Tiere sich zum Beispiel ihren Lebensmenschen ausgesucht haben, geben sie sich ihm völlig hin. Sie können aber auch genauso in der Tierwelt Freundschaft und Liebe bis zur Selbstaufgabe leben. Die Geschichten sind authentische Erlebnisse des Autors mit den Tieren, die ihn in seinem Leben umgeben haben. Sie sind mal traurig, mal lustig, mal erstaunlich und immer berührend. Seelenverwandte. Ja, es geht im Hörbuch um Liebe zwischen Tieren, um ihre Hingabe zu einem Menschen bis in den Tod hinein, um Eigensinn, um Freiheit, um soziales Verhalten, schlicht: um das Leben! Egal ob der Autor über seinen musikalischen Afghanen Banshi erzählt oder den Mord an Kater Schnürrchen, den einfühlsamen Esel Apollonidis auf Malta, das eigenwillige Schaf Pedro, das traurige Schicksal des Drahthaarterriers Lümmel oder die glorreichen 13, heimatlose, einsame, ungeliebte Hunde in Spanien, immer strahlen die Geschichten Respekt aus und lassen die Besonderheit der Individuen deutlich werden.
