  Birdsplaining - A Natural History

  Winner of the 2021 New Welsh Writing Awards: Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
  'Vivid, quick and iridescent, Birdsplaining is an absolute kingfisher of a book' – Mike Parker
  A wren in the house foretells a death, while a tech-loving parrot aids a woman's recovery. Crows' misbehaviour suggests how the 'natural' order, ranked by men, may be challenged. A blur of bunting above an unassuming bog raises questions about how nature reserves were chosen. Should the oriole be named 'green' or golden? The flaws of field guides across decades prove that this is a feminist issue. A buzzard, scavenging a severed ewe's leg, teaches taboos about curiosity.
  Whose poo is the mammal scat uncovered in the attic, and should the swallows make their home inside yours? The nightjar's churring brings on unease at racism and privilege dividing nature lovers, past and present. The skin of a Palestine sunbird provokes concern at the colonial origins of ornithology. And when a sparrowhawk makes a move on a murmuration, the starlings show how threat – in the shape of flood, climate change or illness – may be faced down.
  Jasmine Donahaye is in pursuit of feeling 'sharply alive', understanding things on her own terms and undoing old lessons about how to behave. Here, she finally confronts fear: of violence and of the body's betrayals, daring at last, to 'get things wrong'.
  Roaming across Wales, Scotland and California, she is unapologetically focused on the uniqueness of women's experience of nature and the constraints placed upon it. Sometimes bristling, always ethical, Birdsplaining upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world.
  'Unusual, vivid… remarkably easy-to-read & enjoyable. Doesn't shy away from taking on difficult subjects… A means for personal reflection.' – BTO News [British Trust for Ornithology]
  'An erudite, bold, questing and valid collection of beautifully written essays. Whilst one eye stays focused on the injustices and cruelties of the world, the other gulps in its jewels and preciousness. Moving, stirring, and vital.' – Niall Griffiths
  'Superb… by turns moving, funny, illuminating… and… thought-provoking' – Katherine Stansfield
  'Upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world ― and in doing so, creates its own ecological niche' – Karen Lloyd, Caught by the River
  'A curiosity and passion so unapologetically alive that her words form wings' – Lotte Williams, Nation.Cymru
  'Neither human-centred nor its opposite. Although she explores human grief, violence and recovery, Donahaye also has a beautifully conveyed passion for the unromantic aspects of the environment… She bridges the very gap [in nature writing] that she identifies.' – Saskia McCracken, The Welsh Agenda
  'Whilst birds might not provide the answer to the meaning of life for Donahaye, they do have a part to play in finding meaning IN life, whether that be through personal symbolism and anecdotal encounters, or in larger questions about power and responsibility.' – Gwales.com
  'A fresh way of looking at nature writing, a deeply personal account that embraces its own subjectivity' – Zoe Kramer, Wales Arts Review
  'This is a beautiful collection where the nonhuman appears as a close neighbour… [and which] searches for hope and resilience in times of risk.' – Yvonne Reddick, New Welsh Reader

  The Coming Singularity

  As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise. 
  Are we ready? 
  Will we be adaptive? 
  How will we change? 
  The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make. 
  We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you? 
  A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life. 
  Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why! 
  The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this. 
  We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.

  Digital Design - Principles and...

  Digital design is an essential field that shapes the way we interact with technology today. It refers to the process of creating visual content and interfaces using digital tools. With the rapid advancement of technology, digital design has become an integral part of various industries, from web development and mobile applications to graphic design and user experience (UX) design. Understanding the foundations of digital design is crucial for anyone who aims to create meaningful and engaging digital experiences. 
  The evolution of digital design tools has greatly impacted the profession. In the early days of digital design, tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator were primarily used for static designs, such as graphics and layouts. However, with the rise of user-centered design principles and the need for interactivity, new tools have emerged. Programs such as Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD are now widely used for UI/UX design, providing designers with the capability to create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs in collaborative environments. These tools allow designers to visualize their concepts in real-time and ensure that the final product meets the users' needs and expectations. 
  One of the most important aspects of digital design is its impact on modern technology. From the moment a user opens a website or app, they interact with a design that was carefully crafted to create a seamless and engaging experience. Digital design plays a significant role in influencing how users perceive and navigate through digital spaces. Good design enhances usability, encourages interaction, and helps users accomplish their goals efficiently. Poor design, on the other hand, can frustrate users and drive them away, making it crucial for designers to understand both the aesthetic and functional aspects of their work.

  A slippery reality farce based on following the money, an independent research facility with no particular disciplinary focus and no public sector grant money or foundation funding is doing its best to "sound kosher", let alone keep the operations flowing. An overworked lab sciences foundation director has been working tirelessly to keep funding coming in to the aging, if not otherwise obsolete, somewhat mediocre research facility, procuring the oddest of scientific studies.As read by the author, and narrator, author Ron Knight (national voice of Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, ABC Sports Network Television, Prime and Sirius Satellite Radio, with background at Archie Comics and King Features/Hearst) spins us through the otherwise shaky dealings of an insecure science foundation, through "John Cleese inspired" high brow, low embarrassment status differentials, in this best of short form literature under 15 minutes. Taken from real life stories published in the New York Times, this real time mashup breaks improv sketch style comedy as first produced at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts' School for Film and Television, into the adapted audiobook narrative form. 5 characters, 4 male, 1 female, in addition to the main narrator role position. Published by the author's studio as short form audiobook.
