  Paleobotany, the study of ancient plant life through fossils, plays a crucial role in reconstructing Earth's biological and environmental past. By analyzing preserved plant remains, scientists gain insight into the evolution of vegetation, past climates, and the ecological relationships that shaped life on Earth. Understanding these ancient plants not only helps in tracing the origins of modern flora but also provides valuable information about environmental changes over millions of years. 
  One of the primary reasons paleobotany is important is its role in uncovering the history of plant evolution. The earliest forms of plant life date back to over a billion years ago, and through fossil evidence, scientists have traced the development of algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and eventually angiosperms. This evolutionary timeline reveals how plants adapted to changing environments, from the first aquatic organisms to the dominant terrestrial vegetation that defines modern ecosystems. Fossilized spores, leaves, wood, and pollen provide clues about how plants diversified and spread across different geological periods, allowing researchers to piece together a comprehensive picture of life on Earth.

  If you could pose one question to a dolphin, what would it be? And what might a dolphin ask you? For forty years, researcher and author Denise L. Herzing has investigated these and related questions of marine mammal communication. But the dolphins are not the only ones talking, and in this wide-ranging and accessible book, Herzing explores the astonishing realities of interspecies communication, a skill that humans currently lack. 
   
   
    
  Is Anyone Listening? connects research on dolphin communication to findings from Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey on mountain gorillas, Cynthia Moss on African elephants, and others driving today's exploration of possible animal languages. As Herzing reveals, researchers are finding fascinating hints of language in nonhuman species, including linguistic structures, vowel equivalents, and complex repeated sequences. By looking at the many ways animals use and manipulate signals, we see that we've only just begun to appreciate the diversity of animal intelligence and the complicated and subtle aspects of animal communication. 
   
   
    
  Considering dolphins and other nonhuman animals as colleagues instead of research subjects, Herzing asks us to meet animals as both speakers and listeners, as mutually curious beings, and to listen to what they are saying.

  With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
   
   
   
  Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.
