The Synesthesia Experience -...

Maureen Seaberg

“Explores a dimension of synesthesia long encountered in reports of synesthetes: its relation to mystical and artistic vision . . . fascinating accounts.” —Patricia Lynne Duffy, author of Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens   “The Synesthesia Experience will open up for you a whole new world in our universe.” —The Amazing Kreskin   What does blue taste like to you? A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word “table.” Described by some as a superpower, this mingling of the senses is called synesthesia, and the people who possess this amazing gift are called synesthetes.   What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and spent a year exploring her synesthesia. What she learned is that synesthesia is not an idle “brain tick” but a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine.   Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas on her journey toward the truth. Famous synesthetes and experts interviewed in the book include Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman, Pharrell Williams, Dr. Dean Radin, Dr. Amit Goswami, and Dylan Lauren.

The Wanderer - An Alaska Wolf's...

Tom Walker

The Wanderer is the first book ever to chart a wolf's movement, almost to the day, for an extended period of time. Informed by unique access to research and field notes, award-winning author, photographer, and naturalist Tom Walker shares the story of Wolf 258, nicknamed "the Wanderer," part of a research project that studied wolves in Alaska's Yukon–Charley Rivers National Preserve for more than two decades. A GPS collar recorded the animal's coordinates once a day as it moved through the wilderness. To the amazement of all, the Wanderer traveled more than 2,700 miles in less than six months. To tell this story, Walker had unparalleled access to research and field notes, including the cooperation of the biologist who first collared the Wanderer and the wolf researcher now assigned to Yukon–Charley. 
 
 
 
The Wanderer recounts the compelling life of one particular wolf, while examining the broader complexity of the species as a whole and its struggle for survival. Walker explores not only the natural history of wolves, but the relationship of people—Indigenous, pioneers and settlers, biologists, politicians—to this predator, shedding light on the long northern traditions of trapping and hunting, the tangled politics of wolf management, and the futility of borders to contain large mammals.
