  In the Name of Sharks - 1st Edition

  François Sarano

  Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.

  From Chaos to Stability - How...

  Edward Ziff, Israel Rosenfield

  At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
   
   
   
  To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
   
   
   
  When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.

  'From the moment that these waters were given back their beavers, I knew that I would never wish to return to the time when they were without them . . .'
  In November 2021, in a major moment in Scotland's history, a family of beavers was spared a death sentence and relocated to a Perthshire farm. Their arrival at Argaty, Tom Bowser's home, paved the way for a new era in human–beaver relations.
  In this deeply personal account, Tom tells of his attempts to save these incredible animals, of the support and opposition received and of the unimaginable gains that beavers ultimately brought to his home. He also explores the wider themes of rewilding and nature conservation in Scotland, meeting some of the leading lights of this exciting movement, highlighting the work they do, the challenges they face and showing why ecological restoration is so important for the future of our planet.

  Pregnancy isn’t just happening to her, it’s happening to both of you.
   
  For first-time dads, it can feel like standing on the sidelines of a game you don’t understand, holding snacks and anxiety in equal measure. The Pregnant Dad is here to change that. With warmth, humor, and honesty, this modern guide helps men step confidently into one of the most transformative roles of their lives, not just as a father-to-be but as a true partner.
   
  From the first ultrasound jitters to the long nights before birth, Calen Vale walks you through the emotional, practical, and often hilarious sides of pregnancy from a dad’s point of view. You’ll learn how to support her when she’s tired, what to actually say during mood swings (and what not to), how to prepare for labor without panicking, and how to keep your sense of self while your world turns upside down.
   
  This isn’t a manual, it’s a survival guide with heart. A mix of real talk, relatable humor, and genuine insight that helps you grow alongside the woman you love and the life you’ve created together.
   
  Inside, you’ll discover:
   
  What she really needs from you at every stage (hint: it’s not just foot rubs)
   
  How to manage your stress while being her rock
   
  How to prepare for delivery day without feeling helpless
   
  What to expect emotionally when you finally become Dad
   
  How to balance love, partnership, and the chaos of new fatherhood
   
  Whether you’re terrified, excited, or both, The Pregnant Dad reminds you that you’re not alone and that fatherhood starts long before the baby arrives.

  Astronomical Mindfulness - Your...

  Using the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe. 
  Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the stars. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the Sun to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives. 
  Astronomical Mindfulness helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere—deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and mindful every day. 
  The best part: you don’t need to climb a mountain, visit an observatory, or even own a telescope. From an apartment rooftop to a city park, from your backyard to the window by your desk, the skies are accessible to everyone. Astronomical Mindfulness is a unique tool for personal growth essential to coping in our modern world, enabling us to be more present, more connected, and more relaxed simply by looking up toward the stars. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
