  What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? 
   
  Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? 
   
  In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. 
   
  This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

  Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

  Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
   
   
   
  Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

  Climate Change in the Classroom: Preparing the Next Generation for a Warming World 
    
  Climate change is not a future problem—it is the defining reality students are already living through. Yet many classrooms still prepare them for a world that no longer exists. 
  In Climate Change in the Classroom, Robert W. Collin draws on decades of work in environmental law, urban planning, and environmental justice to show how today’s climate risks are rooted in history—from land use and industrial development to modern public policy. 
  This audiobook reframes climate education as essential, not optional. Climate change is not just science—it shapes history, civics, economics, and public health. Students already face extreme heat, flooding, wildfire smoke, and economic instability. The question is not whether they will experience climate disruption, but whether they will be prepared to respond. 
  At its core is a shift from resilience to flourishing—from surviving climate impacts to building systems where all communities can thrive. As noted in a Kirkus Reviews assessment of the author’s related work, the climate divide is not inevitable, but “the result of policies… and can be changed by people.” Education is central to that change. 
  Designed for educators, policymakers, and engaged listeners, this audiobook offers a practical framework for integrating climate literacy across disciplines—preparing students not just to understand climate change, but to act within it.
