  If you live on a rapidly changing planet, you'd be wise to learn how it works. The giant old forests on a skinny stretch of land on the far west coast of North America have a lot to say about living in a twitchy world. 
   
   
    
  In this engaging book science writer M. L. Herring takes listeners into the Pacific temperate rainforest at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent in a precarious moment of time. Listeners peek behind the magnificent scenery into a forest of ancient trees, exploding mountains, disappearing owls, tsunamis, megafires, and ten million people to learn what it means to be a forest in a world of upheavals. 
   
   
    
  Through Herring's words, listeners drift into the canopy through masses of ferns and lichens, burrow into soil through hair-thin threads of fungi, and plunge headlong through a watershed flushed with rain and snowmelt. Listeners experience the temperate rainforest through science and art as it faces a shifting climate and the shifting priorities of a constantly changing society. The book journeys beyond the grid of latitude and longitude and into places only one's imagination can fit, to discover what it means to be human in an ecological world.

  The Mystery of Mental Illness

  Most people are interested in their roots, often being highly gratified if their personal ancestry can be traced back to some notable historical character. Roots, however, go a lot further back than the written records about people and are implicated in the puzzle of our origin: why are we such symbolically proficient biological creatures that have distanced ourselves so far away from the rest of the animal kingdom? One solution is the magical one, that we arrived at the behest of an omnipotent being 6,000 years ago, fully formed and frolicking with the dinosaurs, as did the rest of our fellow creatures. For those who think the magical solution is a trifle simplistic there is the real problem that the human brain reached modern size around 250,000 years ago – but our lifestyle was still exceedingly primitive. Our most notable talents are therefore less than 150,000 years old and arrived, frequently tinged with serious flaws now termed, collectively, as the mental illnesses. Cover painting: The Thinker and the Thought by A. V. Newton.

It is intended for novices and makes difficult ideas relevant and understandable by fusing vivid examples with concise explanations.

Readers are invited to interact directly with soil through practical exercises, easy experiments, and real-world applications, which promote curiosity and learning.

  What happens to identity when we're obsessed with self-surveillance and devalued words? Now that we've sold ourselves to ourselves, shuffling letters and sounds around to hide the pain, how do we represent the uncanny valley in which we've set up shop? In Cursed Objects, Jason Christie recoils in horror at the thoroughness of his self, then begins to write toward a new understanding brokered between all the things that define him and who he thinks he should be and interrogates how we reduce people to words, especially online, turning them into objects.
