  Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
   
  By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
   
  This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.

  The Little Book of Data -...

  Read by the author.  
  Data is not about number crunching. It’s about ideas. And when used properly (read: ethically), it is the problem solver of our time. 
  Yet many savvy people seem to be in data denial: they don’t think they need to understand data, or it’s too complicated, or worse, using it is somehow unethical. Yet as data and AI (just an accelerated way to put data to work) move to the center of professional and civic life, every professional and citizen needs to harness this power. 
  In The Little Book of Data, each chapter illustrates one of the core principles of solving problems with data by featuring an expert who has solved a big problem with data—from the entrepreneur creating a “loneliness score” to the epidemiologist trying to save lives by finding disease “hotspots.” 
  The stories are told in a fast-moving, vivid, sometimes comic style, and cover a wide frame of reference from adtech to climate tech, the bubonic plague, tiny submarines, genomics, railroads, bond ratings, and meat grading. (That’s right. Meat.) 
  Along the way Evans injects lessons from his own career journey and offers practical thought-starters for readers to apply to their own organizations. 
  By reading The Little Book of Data, you will achieve the fluency to apply your data superpowers to your own mission and challenges—and you will have fun along the way. 
  You will be, in other words, a data person.

  Death Valley is famous for heat. Its deeper story is water.
  
  Basins opened as the crust stretched. Lakes filled and vanished. Salt accumulated. Springs created refuges. Life adapted from the lowest desert floor to mountain country high above it.
  
  William Stanek's The Living Death Valley Biography follows that vertical world through geology, vanished lakes, desert ecology, Timbisha homeland, mining, roads, tourism, national-park protection, water, extreme heat, and the changing limits of survival.
  
  The name suggests emptiness. The biography reveals continuity.
  
  People, plants, animals, and entire communities have found ways to live here because water appears in places where an outsider might expect none.
  
  This is Death Valley as a landscape of endurance-and a story far richer than its record temperatures.

  Now 75 percent revised and expanded with resources from the Institute for the Future, this new edition is organized around ten future leadership skills: augmented futureback curiosity, augmented clarity, augmented dilemma flipping, augmented bio-engaging, augmented immersive learning, augmented depolarizing, augmented commons creating, augmented smart mob swarming, augmented strength with humility, and human calming. 
   
   
   
  AI-augmented leadership will be key for any organization to tackle the uncertainty of the future. And by incorporating practical methodologies, ethical guidelines, and innovative leadership practices, this book will help leaders develop their clarity and moderate their certainty.

  Thread - A Caesarean story of...

  'An essential read for anyone who cares about the misogyny inherent in modern medicine. This is a highly original, deeply validating and entirely engaging addition to the canon of birth and parenting writing.' Clover Stroud'I start to see my own experience not as a woeful result of a system or a body that has let me down, but as a birth experience as ancient, rich and potent as any other kind of birth.'Back in 2017, journalist Hannah Marsh was about to give birth to her son after months of preparation, reading and hypnobirthing classes. Following thirty hours of induced labour, Hannah was quickly acquainted with a caesarean section: a process she had not physically or emotionally prepared for. In an attempt to heal, Hannah began interrogating the following questions: why do the words 'caesarean section' bring up feelings of doubt, shame and judgement for some, but a sense of safety, relief, validation and reassurance for others? Why are those two powerful words rarely spoken of in the ecstatic tones with which we celebrate so-called 'natural', or vaginal birth? Why is the procedure rarely called 'beautiful', or associated with an innate sense of feminine power? Working her way through history, culture, and folklore, it wasn't long before Hannah stumbled upon the pioneering voices and fascinating tales history seems to have forgotten. Weaving in the arc of her own experience, a journalist's insatiable curiosity, and the stories of both contemporary and historical women who endured and drove developments, Thread is an unflinching but compassionate examination of a procedure which is much more than surgery and medicine.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Audiobook Description  
   
  Five years have passed since the Black Sky War tore through Earth. Humanity has rebuilt, but the scars of the past still linger. Jack Steele, the fearless survivor of Rivertown, and his allies carry the memories of friends, family, and loved ones lost to the alien invaders, the Aliens. 
   
  Commander Xylox, the massive and ruthless alien general who once brought humanity to the brink of destruction, has returned. His fleet is larger, deadlier, and more determined than ever. Earth’s cities, forests, and towns tremble under the shadow of his mothership, and every human alive knows that the fight ahead will demand courage, sacrifice, and ingenuity like never before. 
   
  Jack Steele is no longer just a survivor. He is a leader. Alongside familiar faces from Book One and new heroes who have joined the resistance, Jack must train, strategize, and face terrifying enemies. Among the new warriors are men and women driven by vengeance  each carrying their own losses, fears, and secrets. Together, they will test every weapon humanity has developed: hybrid energy rifles, EMP bombs, flamethrowers, explosives, and tactical traps derived from alien technology. 
   
  From tense night raids to daring sabotage missions, from skirmishes across scorched landscapes to massive confrontations with aliens twice the size of humans, this story plunges readers into a relentless battle for survival. Friends will fall. Villages will burn. Choices will weigh heavy on Jack and his allies as the line between victory and death blurs with every passing moment. 
   
  But this is not just a story of war. It is a story of hope. It is a story of humanity learning to rise from ashes, to fight back when the odds seem impossible, and to stand together even when fear and grief threaten to overwhelm them. Through courage, strategy, and sheer determination, humans learn that survival is not enough  they must reclaim their world.
