  The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers 
  Conraad de Rosner is a pioneering game ranger, working with dogs to protect wildlife against poachers – both ‘bushmeat’ poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. 
  Con’s life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa’s most dangerous animals, about to charge. When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father’s footsteps as the leader of the canine anti poaching team that is still operating today. 
  Con’s story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.

  The inspiring story of a feisty pioneering woman who sought freedom and adventure in the outback and became the first woman to work as an opal miner in Australia. 
   
  People always asked her if she was ever afraid, living out in the desert alone with all those rough and scruffy men. But Minnie Berrington was not the faint-hearted type, and never had been. Being tough came naturally to her, growing up with three brothers and a family that went from riches to ruins. 
   
  Only a slip of a girl, Minnie could match any man in stamina, perseverance and strength. She arrived in Coober Pedy when camels still brought in essential supplies, and water was so scarce that no-one washed. Together with the other miners, she braved the heat, the flies and the dust. Every day she waited for that special sound the pick made when it cracked opal. 
   
  The first woman to dig her own shafts in the Australian opal fields, Minnie began her working life as a typist in London. But she and her younger brother, Victor, sought freedom and adventure in the 1920s and found plenty of it in the outback.

  Design is changing faster than most teams can comfortably absorb. 
   
  AI tools are accelerating execution, expectations are shifting, and many UX and product designers are quietly wondering what their role will look like in the next phase of the industry. 
   
  In Design Orchestrator, product designer Michael Newman explores what this moment really means for designers working in UX, product design, and digital teams. Rather than focusing on AI tools themselves, this audiobook looks at the deeper shift happening inside organisations as technology changes how design work is produced, evaluated, and valued. 
   
  Drawing on decades of experience across major digital transitions—from early web design and ecommerce to mobile apps and design systems—Newman offers a calm and practical perspective on the current wave of AI anxiety affecting the design profession. 
   
  As AI makes execution faster and cheaper, the value of design is moving upward. The most valuable designers are no longer defined by the number of screens they produce, but by their ability to frame problems, guide conversations, align teams, and shape better decisions. 
   
  Inside this audiobook you will discover: 
   
  • What is actually changing in UX and product design—and what isn’t 
  • Why communication and influence are becoming more important for designers 
  • Practical ways to explain the value of design beyond producing interfaces 
  • A framework for repositioning yourself as an AI-era Design Orchestrator 
  • A simple seven-day reset to rethink your role and direction 
   
  This is not a book about mastering AI tools. 
   
  It is a guide to thinking clearly about your role as a designer in an AI-accelerated world.

  Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness. 
   
  While the car has been marketed as a symbol of "freedom", the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms.  
   
  Inside the book, you'll find real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars; philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike; a catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors; and much more. 
   
  Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers―anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.
