  This delightful audiobook narrated by Russell Bentley offers a savory account of how the pursuit of delicious foods shaped human evolution
  
  Nature, it has been said, invites us to eat by appetite and rewards by flavor. But what exactly are flavors? Why are some so pleasing while others are not? Delicious is a supremely entertaining foray into the heart of such questions.
  
  With generous helpings of warmth and wit, Rob Dunn and Monica Sanchez offer bold new perspectives on why food is enjoyable and how the pursuit of delicious flavors has guided the course of human history. They consider the role that flavor may have played in the invention of the first tools, the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of the world's most delicious and fatty fruits, the creation of beer, and our own sociality. Along the way, you will learn about the taste receptors you didn't even know you had, the best way to ferment a mastodon, the relationship between Paleolithic art and cheese, and much more.
  
  Blending irresistible storytelling with the latest science, Delicious is a deep history of flavor that will transform the way you think about human evolution and the gustatory pleasures of the foods we eat.

  Nowhere Left to Go - How Climate...

  Benjamin von Brackel

  Harrowing journeys of animals and plants—fleeing skyrocketing temperatures—reported from the frontlines of the greatest migration of species since the Ice Age. 
   
   
   
  As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Tropical zones lose their inhabitants, beavers settle in Alaska, and gigantic shoals of fish disappear—just to reappear along foreign coastlines. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world. But the lengths these plants and animals must go to avoid extinction are as alarming as they are inspirational: Sea animals—like fish—move on average forty-five miles a decade to cooler regions, while land animals—like beavers and butterflies—move eleven miles. As even the poles of the Earth heat up, we're left with a stark and irreversible choice: Halt the climate emergency now, or face a massive die-off of species, who are increasingly left with nowhere else to go.

  Too Wired For Silence Too Tired...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. There is a particular kind of evening that most people know. The day is done but the mind isn't. Too restless for silence, too tired for anything that asks much of it. The body wants to sleep. The brain has other ideas. 
   
  This audiobook was made for that exact hour. 
   
  Ten stories drawn from the science and history of sleep — each one fascinating enough to quiet a restless mind, calm enough not to keep it awake. A seventeen-year-old who stayed awake for eleven days and watched his own mind come apart. The lost practice of sleeping in two separate blocks that most of humanity followed before electric light erased it. The graduate student who discovered REM sleep by watching a child's eyes move in the dark. An Italian family carrying a gene that makes sleep impossible. The sleepwalker who cooked a full meal in the night and found the evidence in the morning. The epidemic that swept through the world in 1917 and left thousands suspended between sleep and wakefulness for decades. And the neuroscientist who discovered that the sleeping brain spends its nights quietly cleaning itself. 
   
  No chapters. No cliffhangers. One continuous, unhurried journey narrated in a single deep male voice, designed to carry the listener from the restlessness of the evening toward the quiet of sleep. 
   
  For everyone who has ever lain in the dark, too wired for silence and too tired for anything stimulating, and wished there was something in between.
