  The Common Yellowthroat is a small warbler of the migratory species with an extensive range, occurring throughout North America and Central America down to northern South America. The male has distinctive yellow underparts, with a black mask above the eyes and throat, while the female has a plainer greenish-olive back and yellowish underparts. The Common Yellowthroat often perches atop a tall stalk to rap out his distinctive song, wichity-wichity-wichity. This binaural audio recording features the Common Yellowthroat birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Blue Jay, Song Sparrow, Wood Thrush, Red-bellied Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch with Northern Cardinal and Mourning Dove in background.

  A Light in the Tower - A New...

  With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
   
   
   
  Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.

  The Emotional Brain - The System...

  Gregory Bicaj

  Why do intelligent people make foolish decisions? Why does a calm conversation suddenly explode into conflict? Why do we eat, spend, react, and regret — and then do it all again? The answer lies not in weakness of character, but in the way the human brain was built.
  In The Emotional Brain: The System That Decides for You, neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Gregory Bicaj draws on two decades of laboratory research and clinical practice to reveal the hidden architecture of human behavior. At the center of his account is a simple but transformative idea: every modern human runs three systems simultaneously — an ancient survival brain, an emotional brain shaped by attachment and connection, and a late-evolving reasoning brain. Most suffering, most regret, and most self-sabotage occur when the wrong system is in charge at the wrong moment.
  Bicaj takes readers on a journey through the latest neuroscience and psychology, translating landmark research into vivid, usable insights. He draws on Antonio Damasio's discovery that emotion is essential to rational decision-making, Joseph LeDoux's work on the fear system and the amygdala's lightning-fast threat detection, Daniel Kahneman's two-system model of the mind, Jonathan Haidt's rider-and-elephant metaphor, John Gottman's data on what makes relationships thrive or fail, and research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development — one of the longest studies of human life ever conducted — showing that the quality of our close relationships matters more than wealth, status, or intelligence.
  Along the way, readers learn why anger, anxiety, and sadness are not enemies to silence but signals to decode, how delayed gratification depends on trust more than willpower, what flow, hope, and optimism share as motivational systems, why empathy can both connect us and mislead us, how trauma reorganizes the brain and body — and how healing becomes possible, what the best research says about raising emotionally resilient children, why psychological safety is the true engine of high-performing teams, and how the digital age is quietly eroding the attention that emotional life requires.
  Through compelling case studies — including Viktor Frankl in Auschwitz, Nelson Mandela in prison, and Admiral James Stockdale under torture — Bicaj shows what emotional mastery actually looks like under unbearable pressure: not the suppression of feeling, but a practiced ability to feel fully, observe honestly, and choose wisely.
  The Emotional Brain is not a self-help manual promising quick fixes. It is a serious, evidence-based, deeply humane guide to understanding the system that shapes every decision, relationship, and moment of your life — and a practical invitation to begin the lifelong work of emotional development. For readers of Jonathan Haidt, Gabor Maté, and Daniel Goleman, this book offers a rare integration of laboratory neuroscience and clinical wisdom, written by a scientist who has spent his career on both sides of that divide.

  Critical: Why the NHS is being...

  The true, eye-opening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it. 
  ‘The NHS is an institution. But it’s also a political football, kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years. It’s a burden to some and a potent vote-winner for others. It’s a construct, framed in the media. It’s a set of ideas and a logo. It’s a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us. It’s become a valued part of our society, it is extraordinarily special – and it’s being destroyed.’  
  The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders. The result: an underfunded, understaffed, exhausted workforce, a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system. We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon: the NHS is collapsing and a two-tier healthcare system is emerging in its place. We can stop this, but only if we do it together. 
  In her first book, Dr Julia Grace Patterson, founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS, lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it. A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart, Critical is a must-read for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years. 
  Dr Julia Grace Patterson's Critical is a best commentary on the state of the NHS, exploring its history, administration, and the social issues that have led to its current crisis. It is a non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on the medical challenges of the 20th century. 
  For fans of Graham Smith (Abolish the Monarchy), Jolyon Maugham (Bringing Down Goliath), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Andrew Seaton (Our NHS).
