  From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
   
  For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.

  This program is read by the authors. The true story of the greatest conspiracy in US history—and how to fight back.Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? You haven’t, have you? No one has, not in many, many years. They used to be everywhere. You couldn’t walk out of your front door in New York City in the 1930s without seeing dozens of those little guys scurrying around. Today, there are millions of grown up pigeons in New York, but not a baby pigeon to be seen. That’s because they come out of the factory as adults.This is one of the many smoking guns of the bird drone surveillance crisis. Since 1959, the Deep State has mercilessly slaughtered over 12 billion birds and replaced them with identical drones that are designed to spy on private citizens and report their every action directly to the government. From pet canaries to Sesame Street, the shadowy figures that pull the strings have infiltrated every aspect of our society, making a mockery of civil liberties while the American people live in blissful ignorance. Until now.In Birds Aren’t Real, whistleblowers Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos trace the roots of a political conspiracy so vast and well-hidden that it almost seems like an elaborate hoax. These hero Bird Truthers have risked life and limb to compile and disseminate a treasure trove of information about the origins of the surveillance crisis, its spread, and the patriots who are on the front lines today, raising awareness and working to reclaim America as the land of the free. This urgent manifesto features a host of useful illustrations, activities, and leaked classified documents that will convince even the most outspoken skeptic that birds aren’t real. The truth is out there: will you stand and fight before it’s too late?A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  THE SIMPSONS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening, first appearing as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 before becoming a half-hour series on Fox in 1989. The show is a satirical depiction of American life, set in the fictional town of Springfield, and caricatures society and Western culture. The series centers on the Simpson family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. It has received widespread acclaim, particularly for its early seasons, considered its "golden age". The Simpsons has won numerous awards and is considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and the family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening, who initially intended to present an animated version of his Life in Hell comic strip, but he changed his approach when he realized it would require him to give up the publication rights. He quickly formulated the concept for The Simpsons while waiting in the lobby for a meeting with producer James L. Brooks.  
    
  The characters in The Simpsons are mostly named after Matt Groening's family members, but he substituted the name Bart for his own, thinking "Simpson" was a funny name that sounded similar to "simpleton". Bart is an anagram of "brat".  
    
  The animation style in the initial Simpsons shorts was crude because the animators simply re-traced Groening's basic sketches, rather than cleaning them up, as Groening had assumed they would. The characters were made yellow by colorist Georgie Peluce, who felt they would look strange if they were flesh-colored since they do not have hairlines.
