    A Life Lived Chronically: Memoir of a DES Daughter is a compelling and emotionally resonant memoir written by Claire R. Silverstone-Bright, brought to life through the narration of Kimberly Rog and published by Panda Publishing Agency UK. 
    Long before her birth, Claire’s life was already influenced by diethylstilbestrol (DES), a drug once widely prescribed to pregnant women and promoted as a safeguard against miscarriage. What was once considered a medical advancement was later linked to serious and lasting health effects for daughters exposed to it in the womb. 
    In this powerful audiobook, Claire shares her personal journey as a DES daughter—growing up with chronic illness, facing repeated medical procedures, and living under constant medical observation. Her story goes beyond physical struggles, delving into themes of identity, strength, and perseverance. 
    Far more than a traditional medical memoir, A Life Lived Chronically examines the wider emotional and social implications of inheriting a medical condition shaped by past decisions. With insight drawn from her background in criminology and justice, Claire critically explores the systems of authority, healthcare, and silence that allowed DES to impact generations of women without their knowledge or consent. 
    Blending intimate storytelling with thoughtful analysis, this audiobook offers a meaningful reflection on trust in medicine, the consequences of unchecked scientific progress, and the importance of giving voice to overlooked experiences. 
    Honest, insightful, and deeply moving, A Life Lived Chronically: Memoir of a DES Daughter stands as both a story of resilience and a call to recognize the hidden legacy carried by DES daughters across the world.

    Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
     
     
     
    David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
     
     
     
    Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

    "Entertaining and profound."—Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal
    
    Hailed by the Washington Post as "a sure-footed and witty guide to slippery ethical terrain."
    
    This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton take you on a philosophical exploration of AI and the future of the mind
    
    Humans may not be Earth's most intelligent beings for much longer: the world champions of chess, Go, and Jeopardy! are now all AIs. Given the rapid pace of progress in AI, many predict that it could advance to human-level intelligence within the next several decades. From there, it could quickly outpace human intelligence. What do these developments mean for the future of the mind?
    
    In Artificial You, Susan Schneider says that it is inevitable that AI will take intelligence in new directions, but urges that it is up to us to carve out a sensible path forward. As AI technology turns inward, reshaping the brain, as well as outward, potentially creating machine minds, it is crucial to beware. Homo sapiens, as mind designers, will be playing with "tools" they do not understand how to use: the self, the mind, and consciousness. Schneider argues that an insufficient grasp of the nature of these entities could undermine the use of AI and brain enhancement technology, bringing about the demise or suffering of conscious beings. To flourish, we must grasp the philosophical issues lying beneath the algorithms.
    
    At the heart of her exploration is a sober-minded discussion of what AI can truly achieve: Can robots really be conscious? Can we merge with AI, as tech leaders like Elon Musk and Ray Kurzweil suggest? Is the mind just a program? Examining these thorny issues, Schneider proposes ways we can test for machine consciousness, questions whether consciousness is an unavoidable byproduct of sophisticated intelligence, and considers the overall dangers of creating machine minds.
