  The Last Dark Sky - How We Are...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  It is midnight in Las Vegas, and a beam of light powerful enough to be seen from space is shooting straight up into the desert sky — drawing insects by the hundreds of thousands, and the bats that feed on them, into an ecosystem that exists for no reason other than that we built a light and pointed it upward. A continent away, an astronomer is waiting patiently for photons that have traveled for eleven billion years, hoping nothing gets in their way before they land. 
   
  For nearly the whole of human history, the night sky was not a special occasion — it was the Milky Way overhead, thousands of stars, a shared inheritance that guided sailors, timed harvests, and filled every mythology on Earth. Today, a third of humanity, and four out of five people in North America, can no longer see it from home. 
   
  *The Last Dark Sky* tells the story of how we got here — from whale-oil lamps and gaslit boulevards to Edison’s bulb, the neon strip, and the Las Vegas beam that started it all — and then takes an unexpected turn skyward. Because just as artificial light finished conquering our own backyards, a new threat arrived from orbit: tens of thousands of satellites, streaking across telescope images and threatening the very darkness that billion-dollar observatories were built in remote deserts to protect. 
   
  Blending history, astronomy, ecology, and hard-won optimism, this is the story of a species racing to see farther into the universe than ever before — while making it harder, with every passing year, to simply step outside and look up. 
  The night sky was never really ours to keep. The only question this book leaves you with is whether we’re willing to give any of it back.

  The Hunger Code - Resetting Your...

  For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
   
  
   
  What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?
   
  
   
  With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
   
  
   
  In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
   
  
   
  - Physical Hunger
   
  
   
  - Emotional Hunger
   
  
   
  - Social Hunger
   
  
   
  Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …
   
  
   
  With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.

  Methuselah's Zoo - What Nature...

  Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
   
   
   
  Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
   
   
   
  Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?

  Make Me Good Soil - Poems of...

  For fans of Ada Limón and Kate Baer, Make Me Good Soil is a luminous, intimate new poetry collection from celebrated author Sophie Strand that explores personal love, loss, trauma healing, and illness through the lens of interspecies connection.Sophie Strand's poetry is attuned to the too-often ignored truth that human beings are not self-contained, and are rather sustained by vast, living networks beyond their physical selves. Writing through this lens of attention, Strand traces the threads between language and the ecosystems that sustain it, opening poetry itself into a multi-voiced chorus. Tender yet unflinching, immersive and visionary, Make Me Good Soil invites readers into this interspecies conversation. In an age of increasing isolation and decreasing access to nature, Strand reclaims poetry as a symbiotic exchange—one that nurtures collective connection, shared responsibility, and the possibility of flourishing.  Make Me Good Soil is comprised of 115 poems both brand-new and already beloved by readers, with a foreword from Willow Defebaugh, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the award-winning climate and culture magazine Atmos.
