    What We Know about Climate...

    This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).
    
    
    
    This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.
    
    
    
    What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

    An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.
    
    Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems.
    
    In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Reveal the invisible algorithmic systems making crucial decisions about your life without your knowledge, input, or ability to appeal their judgments. This essential audiobook exposes how automated decision-making determines what information you see, what opportunities you receive, what prices you pay, and how institutions treat you based on calculations you never see. Learn how credit algorithms, hiring software, insurance models, and content recommendation systems shape your life trajectory more than personal choices while remaining completely opaque. The narrator reveals the biases embedded in algorithmic systems that perpetuate discrimination while appearing objective and the accountability voids that prevent challenging automated decisions affecting your life. Discover how tech companies optimize engagement algorithms knowing they promote misinformation, outrage, and addiction while presenting themselves as neutral platforms. Understand why algorithmic transparency remains impossible to achieve given corporate secrecy, technical complexity, and regulatory failure that leaves citizens subject to systems they cannot examine. This audiobook draws from computer scientists, investigative journalists, and algorithm researchers documenting hidden systems that govern modern life. Learn strategies for recognizing algorithmic influence, minimizing harmful exposure, and advocating for accountability in automated decision-making. Essential listening for anyone living in the digital age who wants to understand the invisible forces shaping their reality and what limited options exist for reclaiming agency from automated systems.
