  Plant Intelligence for Backyard...

  You water the tomatoes, tie up the beans and pull the mint back for the tenth time this summer, and you have a quiet feeling that more is going on in that bed than you can see. You are right.
  
  Each short chapter of this audiobook opens in an ordinary backyard and follows one familiar plant doing something remarkable. You hear how a tomato releases a chemical warning when caterpillars bite so its neighbours toughen up, how a sunflower tracks the sun across the sky, how a bean tendril feels its way toward a pole and how a pea seedling learns where its food lies. The narration then explains, in plain warm language, how plants sense light, touch, chemicals and time without a brain, and every chapter ends with a clear line on what the science shows and what is still argued over.
  
  By the last chapter, your windowsill herbs and the weeds in the pavement crack look like the busy living things they are. Press play, then go outside and check on the beans.

  Fire Eaters - The People and...

  Throughout history, when threatened by wildfires our only defense was to pray for rain and run—until aircraft changed the way we fight fires. Beginning with the Canadian "H-Boats" in 1924, aircraft have become indispensable in detecting and extinguishing wildfires. Fire Eaters tells the incredible stories of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, the first government aerial fire suppression organization in history; one of its pilots, Carl Crossley, who invented the water scoop-up and drop-off system; and the Canadair CL-215, the first purpose-built water bomber. 
   
   
   
  Today, helicopters with "Bambi Buckets" and snorkels can dump water while hovering directly over the flames, and Air Tractors and Dash 8-400AT air tankers not only perform a crucial role in saving communities but also protect our ecosystem. Satellites—unmanned aircraft able to fly for sixteen hours, even overnight when manned aircraft do not—and artificial intelligence already play a decisive role in fire management. 
   
   
   
  But it is the men and women of the aerial fire service who have really changed the way we fight fire around the world. Their bravery and dedication mean that response times are fast, fires can be contained sooner, and people have the chance to save rather than lose everything.
