  Curious Species - How Animals...

  Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
   
   
    
  In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.

  Twelve Mountains: A Journey Up...

  A year in Britain's highest peaks, where the weather changes fast, the ground shifts slowly, and every summit feels deeply personal to walkers, climbers, poets, and workers alike. 
  Sometimes in life it's good just to head for the hills – to seek refuge from the vicissitudes of the everyday and take in the wonder of Britain’s landscapes. 
  With the nation in a full-blown identity crisis, Tom Chesshyre aims to break free from the turbulent news cycle and indulge in some mountain therapy. So, he sets off to conquer – more like scramble up – a dozen of Britain's highest peaks. He does not purport to be a ‘climber’; you’ll find no ropes or clips here. But as the weeks unfold, each ascent becomes a quiet act of resistance against noise, speed and overload. On these mountains, time stretches and priorities reset with the breathtaking clarity of each cloud inversion. 
  From the mist-shrouded crags of Scafell Pike to the rugged, ancient shoulders of Ben Nevis, he explores the contrast between the permanence of stone and the fleeting anxieties of the news alert. In the shadow of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), he explores the resurgence of the Welsh tongue and the mythic weight of King Arthur. In the Mourne Mountains, he traces the granite walls that inspired Narnia, finding magic in a land once defined by division. 
  Yet this book is as much about people as peaks. In pubs, B&B kitchens and bus shelters he meets farmers, fell runners and accidental guides, all with their own relationship to the high ground. Their stories anchor the mountains in lived experience, reminding our guide that these places are not escapist fantasies but working, weather-beaten realities. And threaded through the climbs is a gentle questioning of what Britain still shares, what endures when politics fractures and certainties erode. 
  Twelve Mountains celebrates the joy of hitting the trail, the rhythmic crunch of boots on scree … and going up. 
  Mountains include: Ben Nevis, Ben Lomond, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Cross Fell, An Teallach, Tryfan, Pen y Fan, Slieve Donard, Buachaille Etive Mor and Suilven 
  For fans of Nige Tassell (Eddy Merckx – Out On His Own), Monisha Rajesh (The Untold Railway Stories), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Michael Palin (The Python Years), and Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales).

  Drown out intrusive noises and immerse yourself in the wilderness with sounds of the Western Meadowlark. 
  This audiobook features continuous background field recordings of natural bird sounds combined with ambient forest atmosphere. It is designed to support rest, productive focus, deep relaxation, and quiet meditation. 
  The soundscape is non-intrusive, steady, and intended for long-duration listening to help maintain a consistent and peaceful mental state. Ideal for use during work, studying, mindfulness practice, stress relief, or as a calming background environment throughout the day or night. 
  The Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) is a songbird commonly found across western and central North America, inhabiting native grasslands, prairies, meadows, agricultural fields, and open pastures. It is known for its rich, flute-like vocalizations, featuring clear whistles and melodic phrases that carry across wide open landscapes. 
  In natural environments, Western Meadowlarks are most often heard during the early morning and throughout the daytime, especially in open grasslands and prairie habitats where males sing from fence posts, shrubs, or other elevated perches. Their songs contribute to the peaceful acoustic atmosphere of North America's open landscapes and are among the most recognizable sounds of the prairie. 
  Visually, the Western Meadowlark is recognized for its bright yellow breast marked with a distinctive black V-shaped bib, intricately streaked brown upperparts, and short tail. Its earth-toned plumage provides excellent camouflage among grasses, while its vibrant yellow underside makes it unmistakable when perched in the open.
