  The first book to examine the iconic depiction of evolution, the "march of progress," and its role in shaping our understanding of how humans evolved 
   
   
    
  We are all familiar with the "march of progress," the representation of evolution that depicts a series of apelike creatures becoming progressively taller and more erect before finally reaching the upright human form. Its emphasis on linear progress has had a decisive impact on public understanding of evolution, yet the image contradicts modern scientific conceptions of evolution as complex and branching. 
   
   
    
  This book is the first to examine the origins and history of this ubiquitous and hugely consequential illustration. In a story spanning more than a century, from Victorian Britain to America in the Space Age, Gowan Dawson traces the interconnected histories of the two most important versions of the image: the frontispiece to Thomas Henry Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) and "The Road to Homo Sapiens," a fold-out illustration in the bestselling book Early Man (1965). Dawson explores how the recurring appearances of this image pointed to shifting scientific and public perspectives on human evolution, as well as indicated novel artistic approaches, and advancements in technology.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Enter the world of artificial intelligence surveillance and understand how machine learning systems analyze, predict, and influence your behavior in ways human observers never could. This technological audiobook examines how AI systems process your digital footprint to construct detailed psychological profiles used for manipulation, prediction, and control. Learn how facial recognition, sentiment analysis, behavioral prediction, and pattern recognition create unprecedented surveillance capabilities that transform every digital interaction into data for analysis. The narrator reveals how AI systems identify your emotional state, political orientation, purchasing vulnerability, and psychological weaknesses from data you never intended to share. Discover the feedback loops between surveillance AI and behavior modification systems that observe responses to optimize manipulation in real-time. Understand why AI surveillance differs fundamentally from human observation in scale, persistence, and analytical capability that makes privacy effectively impossible. This audiobook examines the corporate and government applications of machine watching, from targeted advertising to predictive policing to social credit systems already operational in some societies. Learn what AI researchers and civil liberties advocates understand about where machine surveillance is heading and what it means for human freedom. Perfect for anyone using digital technology who wants to understand what watches them, how it understands them, and what futures this surveillance infrastructure enables.

  Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
   
   
   
  As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
