  The Insect Crisis - The Fall of...

  From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
   
   
   
  Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.

  Medical Ethics - Complex...

  Medical ethics is the backbone of modern healthcare, ensuring that medical professionals navigate complex decisions with integrity, compassion, and fairness. It establishes the moral principles that guide patient care, medical research, and public health policies, preventing harm and promoting trust in the healthcare system. Without ethical guidelines, advancements in medicine could lead to exploitation, inequities, and violations of human rights, undermining the fundamental purpose of healthcare. 
  The principles of medical ethics—autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—form the foundation of ethical decision-making in medicine. Autonomy protects a patient’s right to make informed choices about their own healthcare, emphasizing the importance of consent. Beneficence compels medical professionals to act in the best interests of their patients, while non-maleficence ensures that harm is minimized. Justice mandates fair and equal treatment for all patients, addressing issues of healthcare access and resource distribution. These principles help balance the rights of individuals with the broader responsibilities of medical institutions and practitioners. 
  Historical failures in medical ethics serve as stark reminders of what happens when ethical principles are ignored. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which African American men were denied proper treatment for syphilis without their knowledge, remains one of the most egregious violations of patient rights. Similarly, the case of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were taken without consent and used for groundbreaking research, highlights ethical concerns surrounding patient autonomy and medical consent. These cases have driven reforms in medical ethics, leading to stricter regulations and the establishment of review boards to oversee research practices.

  Humans once relied on the calls of wild animals to understand the natural world and their place within it. Now, this remarkable guide reveals what our ancestors knew long ago—that tuning in to the owl in the tree, the deer in the gully, can tell us important information and help us feel connected to our wild community. 
   
   
   
  In Eavesdropping on Animals, George Bumann shares the fascinating stories and insights he has gained from studying wildlife around the world for more than forty years, the last twenty of which have been spent leading popular programs on animal language and intelligence in Yellowstone National Park. Bumann shares tips, tricks, and advice for listeners living in urban, suburban, and rural areas and clearly shows us that you don't need an exotic vacation or a biology degree to have transformative wildlife encounters. Listening to and observing creatures in your own backyard, on nearby trails, and in local parks, seashores, fields, and forests can lead to extraordinary experiences and a profound sense of belonging. 
   
   
   
  Are you ready to eavesdrop on your wild neighbors? Are you ready to learn how to tell a warning call from a mating call, a purr of satisfaction from idle chatter? Then this book is for you!
