  Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
   
   
   
  Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
   
   
   
  Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

  FUBAR - America's Right-Wing...

  The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis -- the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong -- America's always come out looking like, well, America. 
  This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a hilariously scathing satirical rundown of the Radical Right's takeover of America, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report. 
  If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take readers on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination -- over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too). 
  Finally, Seder and Sherrill offer a helpful and hopeful vision for a future that remarkably doesn't look like a cross between the Matrix and Mayberry. F.U.B.A.R. is the wake-up call America has been waiting to receive -- and it will probably be wiretapped.

  RIHANNA 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is a Barbadian singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. Her career began after her demo was heard by Jay Brown, an A&R executive at Def Jam Recordings. She auditioned for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, signing with Def Jam and releasing her debut album, Music of the Sun, in 2005. Her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, marked a shift to a more edgy image. In her career, Rihanna has experimented with pop, dubstep, and rock. She has achieved numerous chart records, awards, and has become a pop and fashion icon. Rihanna has also established herself as a successful businesswoman with brands like Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and she was born in Saint Michael, Barbados on February 20, 1988. Her mother is Afro-Guyanese, and her father is Barbadian with African, Irish, English, and Scottish ancestry. 
    
  As a child, Rihanna suffered from intense headaches, leading doctors to suspect a tumor. Her health improved after her parents divorced when she was 14 years old. 
    
  Before becoming a singer, Rihanna was a cadet in Barbados's Cadet Corps, where her drill sergeant was the later Barbadian singer-songwriter Shontelle. She initially wanted to graduate high school but chose to pursue a music career instead. 
    
  Rihanna's debut single, "Pon de Replay," was chosen because it was deemed the best song for a summer release. It reached the top five in fifteen countries and became a club hit in the U.S.

  Among the Quiet Lands

  Beyond the noise of modern travel lies a world that moves to a slower rhythm — a world still ruled by silence, patience, and grace. 
  In Among the Quiet Lands, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis journeys to the planet’s most remote and unhurried places — from wind-battered monasteries in the Himalayas to forgotten villages deep within Patagonia’s valleys. Along the way, he meets those who have chosen to live close to the earth and far from the rush of progress. 
  Through poetic observation and vivid encounters, Davis reflects on what vanishes when the world moves too fast — and what we rediscover when we choose to linger, listen, and simply be. 
  A meditation on solitude, slowness, and the enduring beauty of the unspoiled, Among the Quiet Lands invites readers to pause — and to see stillness not as absence, but as presence.
