  Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
   
    
   
  Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
   
   
   
  Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

  “Luminous.”—Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun 
   
  Acclaimed nature writer Marina Richie guides us into a vertical world of old-growth forests through the eyes of the birds that inhabit them—exploring her journey as an environmentalist in her signature verdant prose. 
   
  With exquisite prose and meticulous research, Marina Richie interweaves memoir with clear-eyed notes on ecology to create an engaging blend of scientific and soulful observations. 
   
  In Feathered Forest, birds are our guides to a vertical world of ancient trees that spans both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Within centuries-old groves that are critical refugia in a time of climate crisis, these winged messengers show us a better way to steward our threatened landscapes. Just as a forest transitions upward from understory to midstory to overstory, so too does the trajectory of Richie’s life—from the protective cover of adolescence to the precarious yet light-filled canopy of adulthood. 
   
  Richie’s love for the wilds unfurls in poetic phrasing, and her call to protect our last old-growth trees is resounding and clear. 
   
  **A narrative of perception change, memoir, and kinship, Feathered Forest is a soaring ode to birds and wild trees. 
   
  "A lyrical new book . . .the author spins a story web out of ecology, bird behavior, discussions with forest and bird researchers, and her own observations . . .All make this perfect for sampling chapter by chapter and learning about connections we never considered before."—Booklist**

  Farley Mowat's youth was charmed and hilarious, and unbelievably free in its access to unspoiled nature through bird-banding expeditions and overnight outings in the dead of winter. The author writes of sleeping in haystacks for survival, and other adventures, with equal shares of Booth Tarkington and Jack London. He also brings back Mutt, the famous hero-dog of his classic The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and his pet owl Wol, hero of Owls in the Family. The tale of an outrageous and clever boy, Born Naked takes its place as the foundation of the Farley Mowat canon.

  What if everything you've been told about PCOS only explained part of the story? 
  PCOS is one of the most common conditions affecting women—and one of the most misunderstood. 
  If you've ever felt frustrated by irregular periods, weight struggles, acne, unwanted hair growth, fertility challenges, or conflicting advice, you're not alone. Many women are diagnosed with PCOS but never receive a clear explanation of what's actually happening in their bodies. 
  In Not Broken —From PCOS to PMOS, board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Darine Moukalled breaks down the science of PCOS into clear, practical language that finally makes sense. You'll learn how hormones, insulin resistance, metabolism, fertility, and long-term health are connected—and what you can do to take control of your health with confidence. 
  The book also explores the evolving concept of PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), a term that better reflects the broader hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition beyond the ovaries alone. 
  Inside, you'll discover: 
  • Why PCOS symptoms happen—and why they can look different from one woman to another 
  • How insulin resistance affects weight, energy, hormones, and overall health 
  • What common lab tests really mean 
  • Evidence-based treatment options and how they work 
  • Strategies to support fertility, pregnancy, and reproductive health 
  • What to expect as PCOS evolves through midlife and menopause 
  • Practical steps to improve your health without chasing perfection 
  Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with PCOS for years, this audiobook will help you better understand your body, advocate for yourself, and make informed decisions about your health. 
  Most importantly, you'll learn that PCOS does not define you. 
  You are not broken. You deserve answers.

  Digital Pilgrims - Towards a...

  The present has the texture of the future. Hyper-digitalization has made all questions outdated, especially: what are we going to do? For decades, we have been inhabiting and moving within the Digital Environment. Today, the unavoidable question is: what and who are we going to be? 
  Digital Pilgrims proposes novel and urgent debates for a society that has been digitalizing itself for over fifty years. Our coexistence with mature artificial intelligences demands definitions. We are cyborgs moving in environments that exceed time and space, humans in search of meaning for this quantum reality.  
  It is not difficult to speculate about possible futures; the real challenge is to find a path forward in the face of the singularity that is starting to reveal itself, and in the face of the social impact we are just beginning to see. In the middle of the explosion, this book outlines the debates we cannot put off any longer. There are no answers here but rather a guide for us to finally discuss how to orient ourselves on this dizzying voyage.
