  At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year—a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months—is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That’s next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian’s double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life.

  Quantum Physics: The Mystery of Superposition 
  A Strange New World 
  Imagine a universe where a single particle can be in two places at once, where light is both a wave and a particle, and where observation itself changes reality. This is the world of quantum physics, and at its center is the mystery of superposition. 
  The Beginning of the Quantum Revolution 
  This audiobook takes listeners on a journey from the roots of classical science to the groundbreaking discoveries of the 20th century. You will meet brilliant minds like Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Schrödinger, who challenged old ideas and revealed a universe stranger than anyone expected. 
  The Core Ideas 
  Key concepts such as wave-particle duality, entanglement, and the uncertainty principle are explained in clear, simple terms. You will discover how particles can be linked across space, how measurement changes outcomes, and why the quantum world defies ordinary logic. 
  Why It Matters to You 
  Quantum physics is not only about theory. It shapes the technology you use every day, from smartphones and computers to lasers and MRI machines. The principles of superposition also power the future of quantum computing, cryptography, and sensors. 
  The Deeper Meaning 
  Beyond science and technology, quantum physics raises big questions about the nature of reality and our role as observers. Does the universe exist independent of us, or are we part of shaping it? What does it mean to live in a world of probabilities rather than certainties? 
  An Invitation to Explore 
  Quantum Physics: The Mystery of Superposition makes complex science easy to follow for beginners and lifelong learners alike. Through stories, history, and simple explanations, it opens the door to one of the most fascinating frontiers of human knowledge.

  Nature’s Ghosts: The must-read...

  Winner of the 2024 Richard Jefferies Award for nature writingShortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on ConservationA Times Science Book of the Year 
  ‘Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.’ Chris Packham 
  For thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment – for good and for bad. 
  In Nature’s Ghosts, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries. 
  Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth. 
  Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives – archaeological, cultural and ecological – reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost. 
  Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been. But, as this urgent book argues, from the ghosts of the past, we may learn how to build a more wild and ancient future. 
  Sophie Yeo's Nature’s Ghosts is a non-fiction masterpiece that takes us on a journey through the science of ecology, exploring the habitats and ecosystems that have been altered by human activity. The book emphasises the need for protection of these resources, offering a glimpse into the past to help us understand how we can shape a better future. 
  For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Democracy of Species), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Jennifer Ackerman (What an Owl Knows), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).
