  At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year—a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months—is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That’s next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian’s double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life.

  Does a mind need a body? 
  This book starts with why a goose needed a mind in the first place. Or a human. Turns out a mind doesn't care if it's seeing through eyes or reading through a chat window. Minds are minds. 
  This isn't a book about what AI can do. It's not about jobs, risk, or regulation. It's twelve short chapters tracing the emergence of modern minds. 
  Listen to it in the time it takes to grab a dozen donuts.

  Delicate yet powerful, the Mourning Dove, scientifically known as Zenaida macroura, enchants listeners with its slender form, small head, and gracefully elongated tail. Its feathers paint a canvas of earthy hues, with brown and gray adorning its upper parts and a soothing beige gracing its underparts. In this meticulously captured binaural audio, you will find yourself transported to the Californian Woodlands, where a gentle babbling river stream weaves its melodic course through the surroundings. Harmonizing with the tranquil river, the Mourning Dove's cooing calls serenade your ears, filling the air with their unique and captivating melodies. As you listen, you may also encounter the harmonious contributions of other avian companions, such as the Acorn Woodpecker, while the gentle chorus of crickets and the occasional bullfrog's chirp enhance the symphony of nature.

  Towards a Prairie Atonement

  In the wake of colonization, in a landscape of loss and dispossession, can we rediscover ways to share the land with other creatures and one another?
  		 
  When the government recently tried to abandon its responsibility to protect what little remains of the natural prairie, Trevor Herriot pushed back, only to discover an injustice haunting the lands he was trying to defend. In 1938, when the Métis of Ste. Madeleine returned from working away, they found their homes burnt to the ground and their animals shot. The land they held in common was no longer theirs, but was now controlled by the federal government.
  		 
  Facing his own responsibility as a descendent of settlers, he connects today's ecological disarray to the legacy of Metis dispossession and the loss of their community lands. With Indigenous and settler people alienated from one another and from the grassland itself, hope and courage are in short supply. This book offers both by proposing an atonement that could again bring people and prairie together.

  The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe. 
  It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe. 
  This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. 
  We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe. 
  There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm. 
  We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation. 
  I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.
