  The Wildside Volume 2 highlights seventy five of the best of Scott Shalaway's syndicated nature columns. Let Scott introduce you to the natural history of creatures you see and enjoy every day--birds, bats, butterflies, and many other animals and plants. Compare personal perspectives on nature. Tag along as he describes his outdoor adventures, from the wilds of West Virginia to the Galapagos Islands. And learn how to attract more wildlife to your backyard with food, nest boxes, and wildflowers. 
  Scott Shalaway (1952-2025) earned his PhD in wildlife ecology at Michigan State. After working first at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and then as a zoology professor at Oklahoma State University, he moved to West Virginia to fulfill his dream of becoming a freelance nature writer. Scott’s life “on the wild side” encompassed 33 years writing more than 2,000 columns, seven books, and several hundred magazine articles--many of which won writing awards. For 22 of those years, he also hosted live weekly radio shows in Pittsburgh and Wheeling, West Virginia. Scott led 13 birding tours to Mexico and 11 more to Ecuador, the Galapagos, Maine, the Everglades, southern Arizona, Hawk Mountain and Cape May. 
  This audiobook is brought to life by Scott's eldest daughter, author and voice actor Nora Shalaway Carpenter.

  Balance - How It Works and What...

  Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other? 
   
  Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole. 
   
  Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.

  Thank You For Voting - The...

  In this concise, lively look at the past, present, and future of voting, a journalist examines the long and continuing fight for voting equality, why so few Americans today vote, and innovative ways to educate and motivate them; included are checklists of what to do before election day to prepare to vote and encourage others. 
  Voting is a prized American right and a topic of debate from the earliest days of the country. Yet in the 2016 presidential election, about 40 percent of Americans—and half of the country’s young adults – didn’t vote. Why do so many Americans choose not to vote, and what can we do about it?  
   
  The problem, Erin Geiger Smith contends, is a lack of understanding about our electoral system and a need to make voting more accessible. Thank You for Voting is her eye-opening look at the voting process, starting with the Framers’ perspective, through the Equal Protection amendment and the Voting Rights Act, to the present and simple actions individuals can take to increase civic participation in local, state, and national elections. 
  Geiger Smith expands our knowledge about our democracy—including women’s long fight to win the vote, attempts to suppress newly enfranchised voters' impact, state prohibitions against felons voting, charges of voter fraud and voter suppression, and other vital issues. In a conversational tone, she explains topics that can confuse even the most informed voters: polling, news literacy, gerrymandering and the Electoral College. She also explores how age, race, and socioeconomic factors influence turnout. 
  Ultimately, Thank You for Voting offers hope. Geiger Smith challenges corporations to promote voting, and offers examples of how companies like Patagonia and Walmart have taken up the task in a non-partisan way. And she reveals how get-out-the-vote movements—such as television star Yara Shahidi’s voting organization, Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote campaign, and on-the-ground young activists—innovatively use technology and grassroots techniques to energize first-time voters.
