  A 48-Lecture Odyssey Through the Architecture of Thought in Animals, Fungi, and Swarms 
  From octopus arms that think for themselves to slime molds that solve mazes without neurons, NeuroZoology takes listeners on an astonishing journey through the minds of creatures great and small—and some without brains at all. 
  Spanning 48 richly narrated lectures optimized for audiobook format, this course redefines what it means to think, feel, decide, and remember in the animal kingdom. With the rigor of neuroscience and the wonder of natural history, it explores the evolutionary inventions that gave rise to cognition: mycelial signaling networks, insect mushroom bodies, echolocation in bats and whales, grid cells in birds and rats, mirror neurons in apes and parrots, and the tools and cultures of corvids, cephalopods, and primates. 
  Structured as a tour through deep time and neurodiverse lifeforms, NeuroZoology challenges anthropocentric models of intelligence and introduces a radically ecological view of the mind. You’ll meet brains that regenerate themselves, brains that operate without a cortex, and collective intelligences where no individual is in charge—but the group computes nonetheless. 
  Whether you’re a neuroscientist, ethologist, educator, or simply someone who wonders what it’s like to be a squid—or a bee, or a bird—this course will change how you think about thinking. 
  It is not just a study of nervous systems. It’s a meditation on what minds are, where they reside, and how many ways nature has solved the problem of cognition.

  Make Dating Your Health: The Blood, The Cells, The Oxygen - the essence of this message would resonate deeply. The importance of dating your health transcends mere words or scientific facts; it's about recognizing that oxygen is not just a biological necessity but a vital partner in our lives. Just as in any romantic relationship, nurturing and valuing this connection is essential for a vibrant, fulfilling life. Oxygen is the unseen thread that ties together every aspect of life. The relationships we cherish, the homes we build, and even the paper we use to make payments—all of these are sustained by oxygen. You might say that just as people go to great lengths to protect their loved ones or secure their homes, they must also fight to maintain their relationship with oxygen. Without it, none of the other elements of life could exist. Oxygen is more than just a biological necessity; it is the caregiver of our existence. In turn, we must become caregivers of our health, nurturing our bond with oxygen as we would any other vital relationship.

  The Science of Reading -...

  For the first time, the story of how and why we have plumbed the mysteries of reading, and why it matters today. 
    
  Reading is perhaps the essential practice of modern civilization. For centuries, it has been seen as key to both personal fulfillment and social progress, and millions today depend on it to participate fully in our society. Yet, at its heart, reading is a surprisingly elusive practice. This book tells for the first time the story of how American scientists and others have sought to understand reading, and, by understanding it, to improve how people do it. 
   
  Starting around 1900, researchers—convinced of the urgent need to comprehend a practice central to industrial democracy—began to devise instruments and experiments to investigate what happened to people when they read. They traced how a good reader’s eyes moved across a page of printed characters, and they asked how their mind apprehended meanings as they did so. In schools across the country, millions of Americans learned to read through the application of this science of reading. At the same time, workers fanned out across the land to extend the science of reading into the social realm, mapping the very geography of information for the first time. Their pioneering efforts revealed that the nation’s most pressing problems were rooted in drastic informational inequities, between North and South, city and country, and white and Black—and they suggested ways to tackle those problems. 
   
  Today, much of how we experience our information society reflects the influence of these enterprises. This book explains both how the science of reading shaped our age and why, with so-called reading wars still plaguing schools across the nation, it remains bitterly contested.
