  Course #16 from Unteachable Courses 
  Every few years a new headline warns that the world is running out of some element you'd never heard of — lithium, cobalt, gallium, the rare earths. This 24-lecture audio course takes those stories apart and shows what's really happening underneath. 
  The central idea is simple and, once you hear it, hard to unsee: criticality is almost never about the rock. The Earth isn't short of these elements. What's scarce is the refinery — the single plant, the one midstream step where a country or a company holds the valve. Scarcity lives in the supply chain, not the periodic table. The mechanism is the receipt. 
  Across twenty-four hours you'll travel from the magnets inside every EV motor and wind turbine, through the battery metals in your garage, the nuclear stack, the noble gases you can't drill for, the semiconductor and export-ban metals at the heart of today's trade fights, to the byproduct metals nobody mines on purpose that still hold up a jet engine's turbine blade. 
  Every element gets the same forensic treatment: its killer application, the physics that makes it irreplaceable, the real geography of who mines it versus who refines it, and the moment it became "critical." By the end you'll carry a set of instincts you can turn on any "we're running out of X" story — and usually find the chokepoint yourself. 
  No jargon left unexplained. No panic, no doom, no villains — just how the world's most strategic materials actually move, who controls them, and why it matters now. 
  Twenty-four lectures on the elements hidden inside everything you own.

  In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.

  Birds, hormones, and extraordinary behavior: The story of the tiny but mighty golden-collared manakin of Panama 
   
   
    
  This book is the story of a remarkable bird, the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) of Panama. Males of this species perform one of the most elaborate, physically complex, and noisy courtship displays of any animal on the planet. Barney A. Schlinger delves into the specialized neurons, muscles, bones, and hormonal systems underlying the manakin's unique courtship behavior, creating a rich life-history account that integrates field observations and evolutionary biology with behavioral ecology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and general ornithology. 
   
   
    
  The personal lives of investigators and the natural history of the Panamanian rainforest provide context for this account of the bird's fascinating behavior. Schlinger clearly and approachably explains basic concepts in disciplines such as avian anatomy, endocrinology, sexual differentiation, and the neurobiology of song and aeroacoustics, offering listeners a window into the biology of this exuberant bird. 
   
   
   
  This enhanced audiobook edition includes two short clips of the bird sounds described in the book.
