  You loved the books that turned an ordinary wood into a hidden world of talking trees and trading fungi. Then you finished them, and the river behind your town went back to being just water.
  
  This audiobook follows one river from a cold hillside spring to the tidal mouth, and every short chapter opens inside a living scene on the water. You meet the caddisfly larva gluing itself a stone house, the beaver whose dam turns a trickle into a wetland, the salmon that smells its way home, the eel that begins and ends its life far out at sea, the kingfisher and the otter. Each chapter closes with a plain line on what the research really shows, so you know exactly which parts are proven and which are still open questions.
  
  After one chapter, the stream, canal or drainage ditch near your home stops looking empty. Press play, and take the river with you on your next walk.

  Intimate Subjects - Touch and...

  An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch. 
    
  When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present. 
    
  Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge. 
    
  With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.

  Fatty Liver and Insulin...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  One in four adults is walking around with a liver quietly overloaded with fat, and almost none of them know it because this disease produces no symptoms until it has already done real damage. The first hint is usually a number on a routine blood panel, flagged almost by accident during a checkup for something else entirely.  
  This audiobook explains what NAFLD actually is and why insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis feed each other in a loop that worsens the longer it goes unnoticed.  
  It walks through the blood markers that actually reveal what's happening inside that organ — blood sugar, A1C, and triglycerides — instead of guessing from how you feel.  
  It also covers what the internet gets right and wrong about diet, why visceral fat matters more than the number on the scale, and what genuinely reverses versus what only gets managed.  
  Told through the story of a woman who found out by accident and the family conversation that followed, it lays out exactly what to ask a doctor when the first answer isn't good enough.

  Mirror horse

  English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. 
  From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. 
  Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. 
  While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.
