  The Unexpected Genius of Pigs

  We often consider dogs to be our enduring sidekicks but the truth is domestic pigs have played a role in our lives for nearly as long. 
  Pigs are highly social and smart. They like to play. They’re inventive, crafty and belligerent – and incredibly singleminded. 
  Ultimately, we have far more in common with these creatures than we like to admit. 
  Here is a charming ode to one of the most common, yet surprisingly intelligent, animals populating our landscapes. In this gentle and illuminating study, Matt Whyman embarks on a journey to uncover the heart and soul of an animal brimming with more energy, intelligence and playfulness than he could ever have imagined. 
  In his bid to understand what makes a pig tick, having climbed a steep learning curve as a keeper himself, Whyman meets a veterinary professor and expert in pig emotion, as well as a spirited hill farmer whose world revolves around hogs and sows. 
  Packed with fascinating research and delightful anecdotes, this entertaining and informative celebration of all things porcine covers everything from evolution, behaviour and communication to friendship, loyalty and broken hearts – uncovering a surprising notion of family along the way. 
  In The Unexpected Genius of Pigs, Matt Whyman delves into the world of pig husbandry, exploring the science and ethology behind these surprisingly intelligent animals. From their playful nature to their single-minded determination, Whyman paints a vivid picture of life on the farm, where agriculture and zoology intersect in unexpected ways. 
  For fans of Damian Hall (In It for the Long Run), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), Richard Askwith (Unbreakable), Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), and Kim Smith (Enjoy Your Life).

  The Climate Swerve - Reflections...

  Over his long career as witness to an extreme twentieth century, National Book Award-winning psychiatrist, historian, and public intellectual Robert Jay Lifton has grappled with the profound effects of nuclear war, terrorism, and genocide. Now he shifts to climate change, which, Lifton writes, "presents us with what may be the most demanding and unique psychological task ever required of humankind," what he describes as the task of mobilizing our imaginative resources toward climate sanity. 
  Thanks to the power of corporate-funded climate denialists and the fact that "with its slower, incremental sequence, [climate change] lends itself less to the apocalyptic drama," a large swathe of humanity has numbed themselves to the reality of climate change. Yet Lifton draws a message of hope from the Paris climate meeting of 2015 where representatives of virtually all nations joined in the recognition that we are a single species in deep trouble. 
  Here, Lifton suggests in this lucid and moving book that recalls Rachel Carson and Jonathan Schell, was evidence of how we might call upon the human mind—"our greatest evolutionary asset"—to translate a growing species awareness—or "climate swerve"—into action to sustain our habitat and civilization.
