  New York Times Bestseller 
  The remarkable true story of an extraordinary relationship between psychologist Irene M. Pepperberg and Alex, an African Grey parrot who proved scientists and accepted wisdom wrong by demonstrating an astonishing ability to communicate and understand complex ideas.  
  ""You be good. I love you,"" were Alex's final words to his owner, research scientist Irene Pepperberg, before his premature death at age thirty-one on September 6, 2007. An African Grey parrot, Alex had a brain the size of a shelled walnut, yet he could add, sound out words, understand concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none, and he disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence. 
  Alex & Me is the incredible story of an amazing, irascible parrot and his best friend who stayed together through thick and thin for thirty years—the astonishing, moving, and unforgettable story of a landmark scientific achievement and a beautiful relationship.

  In a mere forty minutes, the community was annihilated by a catastrophic flash flood. Residents ran for their lives, and nine people drowned. Although rescue and recovery soon followed, the harrowing experience left a mark on the survivors that remains decades later.
  Author and Brady's Bend native Lisa Olszak Zumstein tells this community's story in full and reveals how this devastating storm mirrors numerous others in the Appalachian corridor.

  The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

  Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
   
   
   
  In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
   
   
   
  With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.

  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.

  Imperfect Heart - Stories of...

  This book offers an in-depth exploration of a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition known as a myocardial bridge, a condition present in roughly one in four people, though only a small percentage experience symptoms. The author, who has firsthand experience with the condition and its surgical treatment, provides a unique perspective on living with and overcoming this often misunderstood malady. 
  Drawing from transcripts of the podcast of the same name, the book includes compelling interviews with leading cardiac surgeons specializing in the controversial "unroofing" procedure, as well as stories from patients who have undergone the surgery. Together, these narratives paint a comprehensive picture of the procedure’s success and its life-changing, potentially life-saving effects on those treated. 
   Beyond personal and patient stories, the book challenges traditional medical approaches to diagnosing and treating myocardial bridges. It advocates for a shift in how the medical community views this condition, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment options while offering hope to those struggling with symptoms. 
  With its blend of personal insight, expert commentary, and patient experiences, this book seeks to educate, inspire, and transform the conversation around myocardial bridges.
