Hear Me Roar

Erna Walraven

A memoir about zookeeping, and what animals taught me about feminism. 
 
In the early 1980s, when Erna Walraven decided to follow her dreams and become one of the first female zookeepers in Australia, she thought her biggest challenges would be feeding big cats and subduing irate gorillas. In fact, it was her male colleagues who made work miserable, harassing and humiliating her for doing a 'man's job'. So, she looked to the animals under her care to prove them wrong. 
 
Despite what Erna's colleagues seemed to think, the females of the animal world were far from weak and demure. Elephant matriarchs led their herds; female bonobos revelled in sexual exploration; emu mothers abandoned their chicks to the care of their fathers. Her colleagues wouldn't dare tell a female tiger that hunting was a 'male's job' - why were they so intent on limiting Erna? 
 
In this insightful and delightful book, Erna blends memoir and pop science to tell a fiercely female story. She recounts a life spent caring for animals in a fast transforming industry, and dives into scientific evidence and evolutionary history to debunk the myths that once held her back.

Critical Thinking - The Art of...

Hector Davidson

Critical thinking is the disciplined process of actively analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information to make reasoned judgments and decisions. It involves a systematic approach to thinking that seeks to uncover underlying assumptions, assess the validity of arguments, and apply logical reasoning to complex problems. 
  
At its core, critical thinking is about being intellectually autonomous and reflective. It requires individuals to question and scrutinize their own beliefs, the arguments presented by others, and the evidence supporting those arguments. Critical thinkers do not accept information at face value; instead, they engage in a process of inquiry that involves several key components. 
  
Analysis involves breaking down complex information into its constituent parts to understand its structure and relationships. This includes identifying the main arguments, assessing the relevance and quality of evidence, and understanding the context in which information is presented. 
  
Evaluation involves assessing the credibility and strength of arguments and evidence. This requires determining whether the arguments are logically sound, whether the evidence is reliable and pertinent, and whether there are any biases or fallacies affecting the argument.

Raise Some Shell: Teenage Mutant...

Richard Rosenbaum

Celebrating the persistence of Turtle Power Raise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins, evolution, and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon ― from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984, through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s, and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics, cartoons, and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan, Rosenbaum argues that the Turtles’ continuing success isn’t mere nostalgia, but rather the result of characters, and a franchise, that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.
