  'You could call him Paddington,' Adam said, casually, 'Don't name him! I said, as if this was self-evident. Names turn situations into responsibilities. 
  When Mirelle Radley set off for Peru with her cousin Adam, hoping to heal her broken heart, she didn't expect to meet someone who would change the course of her life forever. 
  Meet Paddy, the Peruvian street dog who met Mirelle one night when he wandered into her eco-cabin – and refused to leave. He returned the next day, and the day after. And before long, he was following her through towns and markets and trekking alongside her through the mountains, never leaving her side. 
  He was free to go, yet he never strayed more than a few steps away. 
  As Mirelle's trip came to an end, heartbreak struck. She faced an impossible goodbye. 
  How could she leave behind Paddy – the dog, she had fallen in love with and named – who had so clearly chosen her to be his human? 
  What follows is a heart-stopping, globe-spanning adventure that reminds us that sometimes, love finds us in the most unexpected ways. 
  Part autobiography, part memoirs, this non-fiction account turns travel across South America into an intimate biography of an extraordinary bond between humans and animals. With nature as its backdrop and dogs at its heart, it’s a best, latest up-coming read to pre-order for every pets lover.

  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.

  We can all agree—birds are terrible. They're stupid and won't shut up. 
   
   
   
  Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as: the absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), the outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker), and many more! 
   
   
   
  Even the author's previous bird takedown guides are no preparation for this hilariously harrowing collection of squawking, conceited, trash-eating, and even murderous idiots. The horror. The horror . . . 
   
   
   
  LOVE BIRDS? HATE BIRDS?: For those who hate birds and for bird lovers everywhere with a sense of humor, this handbook is equal parts profane and funny, and—let's face it—true. 
   
   
   
  ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This uproarious guide to all things wings includes tips for bird identification, musings on the avian population and classification, and more. Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more.

  Galileo Galilei - English Edition

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In 17th-century Italy, Galileo Galilei transforms a world built on authority into one sustained by evidence. Between classrooms, courts, and makeshift observatories, his life traces the complete arc of human genius: radical curiosity, ambition, discoveries that change the very idea of the 'heavens,' and an inevitable conflict with power. This book narrates how a telescope turned the firmament into a political territory, how a 'dialogue' wanted to be a debate and ended up a trial, and how, even under house arrest and in the darkness of blindness, Galileo wrote a final work destined to outlive him. More than a biography, it is the portrait of a tension that remains relevant today: science as a quest… and as a conflict.
