  Radiolab invites you to join us on a scientific journey through the body. Our bodies are so complex that many processes can go unnoticed. In this audiobook, not only do we notice, but we explore how our anatomy has shaped the human experience. These five chapters explore your guts, private parts, womb, butt, and brain. We’ll hear stories from scientists, anthropologists, professors, doctors, mothers, fathers, and storytellers. We answer questions like what organ is a baby's best friend and the mother's worst nightmare, what is the evolutionary reason for our butts, and how does your brain know that you, are you?

  This Penis Business - A Social...

  CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. In her eye-opening memoir, Georganne Chapin exposes the business of medical circumcision. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the United States permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy’s penis for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors’ offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision’s U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of masturbation to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice-one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision’s supposed benefits and suppress facts about circumcision harm and deaths, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic medical ethics. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes male genital mutilation as a matter of “culture” and “parental preference”—a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the multi-billion-dollar penis business.

  Saving Ourselves from Big Car

  Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
    
  This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.

  Replugged is a field guide for staying human as artificial intelligence reshapes work, culture, and everyday life. Arguing that AI's impact will rival the advent of the computer and the internet, it takes a multi-dimensional view. First, it examines how past world-changing technologies rewired society, what they created, and what they broke. Second, it looks forward technologically, showing how AI converges with cloud, data, sensors, robotics, and biology and what real adoption (beyond hype) demands. Third, it analyses the psychological effects of attention drift, information overload, and bias and offers practices that restore agency. Fourth, it places AI within a philosophical and ethical frame, asking not just what we can build but what we should become.
  Blending story, systems thinking, and practical playbooks, Replugged introduces the Timeflow lens, focusing on energy, attention, and intention over time, to turn acceleration into action that readers can test this week.
  Replugged includes a QR to an AI Companion that extends the conversation, letting readers question, explore, and update insights as the technology (and their lives) evolve.
