  Animal Senses: How Other...

  World of Wildlife

  You walk the same street every morning and assume you have seen it. Meanwhile the dog beside you is reading a whole newspaper of scents, and the bee on the fence post is landing on ultraviolet runways you will never see.
  
  Press play and each chapter drops you inside a living scene, lived through one creature's dominant sense. You follow an owl pinpointing a mouse under snow by sound alone, a shark tasting the faint electricity of a hidden fish, a bat building the night out of echoes, and an elephant listening to distant thunder through its feet. The science of animal perception is woven into unhurried nature writing, so you learn how animals see, hear and smell without ever feeling lectured.
  
  By the final chapter your garden, your street and your next walk feel crowded with worlds you had been blind to. Put on your headphones, step outside, and let the animals show you what you have been missing.

  Beyond the Hurt - Understanding...

  Dr Murli Krishna

  Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed? Why can scans look “normal” when the pain feels anything but? 
  In Beyond the Hurt, Consultant in Pain Medicine Dr Murli Krishna offers a clear, compassionate explanation of why pain can become chronic — and what that really means. 
  This audiobook explores how the nervous system processes pain, how it can become overprotective, and why persistent pain does not necessarily mean ongoing damage. Using accessible language and grounded neuroscience, Dr Krishna explains central sensitisation, the role of sleep and stress, why pain can spread or fluctuate, and why treatments sometimes help — and sometimes don’t. 
  Importantly, this is not a book about pushing through pain or thinking positively. It is about understanding how the body’s alarm system works — and how it can learn to feel safe again. 
  Listeners will gain: 
  • A clear explanation of chronic pain mechanisms 
  • Reassurance when scans and tests are normal 
  • Insight into flare-ups and setbacks 
  • Practical guidance on calming the pain system 
  • A realistic, hopeful framework for recovery 
  Written for people living with ongoing pain — as well as clinicians, therapists, and caregivers — this audiobook replaces fear with understanding and confusion with clarity. 
  Persistent pain is not imagined. It has reasons. 
  And when pain becomes less mysterious, it often becomes less frightening. 
  Beyond the Hurt offers direction, reassurance, and a science-based path toward living well beyond pain.

  Wild Apples

  Henry David Thoreau’s Wild Apples is a luminous, invigorating walk through orchards, woodlots, and memory. Using the untamed apple as his compass, Thoreau ranges from ancient myth to New England fence lines, celebrating the rugged beauty, sharp flavor, and stubborn independence of nature uncommercialized. He traces the apple’s travels across continents, listens for birds in the boughs, and finds in the bracing bite of a wind‑fallen fruit a philosophy of freedom and self-reliance. 
   
  Narrated with warm clarity by Jason Michael Mann, this classic essay becomes an intimate field excursion—alive with scent, color, and weather. Hear the seasons turn: blossom-week’s perfume, October’s windfalls, and winter’s “frozen-thawed” miracle brimming with sweet cider. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Walden, nature writing, and mindful walking, Wild Apples invites you to slow down, look closely, and savor the world’s unmarketed flavors. Take it on a ramble, a commute, or a fireside evening, and rediscover how the wild still thrives at the edges of our cultivated lives.

  A New Science of Life

  **The fully revised edition of Rupert Sheldrake's controversial science classic, from the author of the bestselling Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021!**
  
  After chemists crystallised a new chemical for the first time, it became easier and easier to crystallise in laboratories all over the world. After rats at Harvard first escaped from a new kind of water maze, successive generations learned quicker and quicker. Then rats in Melbourne, Australia learned yet faster. Rats with no trained ancestors shared in this improvement.
  
  Rupert Sheldrake sees these processes as examples of morphic resonance. Past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.Individual plants and animals both draw upon and contribute to the collective memory of their species.
  
  Sheldrake, now Director of the Perrott-Warwick Project supported by Trinity College, Cambridge, reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws. Described as 'the best candidate for burning there has been for many years' by Nature on first publication, this updated edition will raise hackles and inspire curiosity in equal measure.
