  Rise of the Zombie Bugs - The...

  Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond). 
   
   
   
  With vivid description, Mindy Weisberger explains the sinister mechanics of nature's most cunning survival strategies, including the biological marvels and evolutionary intricacies behind zombie ants, mind-controlled beetles, and the fungi and viruses that reprogram their hosts' behavior. Blending scientific rigor with a flair for the macabre, Weisberger takes listeners on a global journey to uncover the dark secrets of parasitic manipulation. 
   
   
   
  Her examination of these creatures seeks to answer fundamental questions of their existence: why is a bug's world full of zombies, why are arthropods so susceptible to this zombification, and could the creators of zombie bugs ever evolve to do the same to people? Perfect for fans of horror and science alike, Rise of the Zombie Bugs offers a chilling yet enlightening look at the hidden world of parasites. It's a must-listen for anyone curious about the true terrors lurking in nature's undergrowth and the unnerving beauty of evolution's darker side.

  Secrets Beneath the Quicksand -...

  Quicksand has captivated human imagination for centuries. The very mention of the word conjures images of perilous, sinking terrain—an unpredictable force of nature that can drag the unsuspecting into its depths. Whether through its portrayal in popular culture or through whispered warnings of its presence in remote areas, quicksand has become synonymous with danger. However, while it holds a certain allure in our collective consciousness, the science behind it remains less understood, adding to its mystique and intrigue. 
    
  Historically, quicksand has been a feature of many adventure tales and thrillers, often depicted as a life-threatening trap that can ensnare anyone who ventures too close. In movies, books, and TV shows, it serves as an almost mythical obstacle, a place where time seems to stand still as one struggles to escape. These portrayals, however, often exaggerate the severity of quicksand’s danger, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. It’s important to acknowledge that while quicksand is indeed dangerous, it is rarely as deadly as it is made out to be in stories. Yet, the fascination it generates is undeniable, and its mysterious qualities continue to inspire both fear and curiosity. 
    
  The allure of quicksand is not just in its danger, but also in the mystery surrounding its behavior. Unlike ordinary land, quicksand behaves in a way that seems to defy common understanding. Its unique blend of sand, water, and clay creates a substance that can feel deceptively solid, only to give way under pressure. This paradox—the appearance of solid ground hiding a treacherous, fluid-like trap—adds to its power to intrigue and intimidate.

  Feminism in the Wild - How Human...

  In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.
