  Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
   
   
   
  Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
   
   
   
  Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

  At more than 100 million user accounts created and over $10 billion made, it is not only the most-subscribed MMORPG in the world, but the highest-grossing video game of all time. Ten years after its launch, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft is less a game and more a world unto itself, and it's a world Daniel Lisi knows well. More time in his high school years was spent in Azeroth than in his hometown of Irvine, California—a home he happened to share with Blizzard itself. 
   
   
   
  Now that Lisi has founded his own game development studio, WoW remains his most powerful example of just how immersive and consuming a game can be. Based on research, interviews, and the author's own experience in a hardcore raiding guild, Lisi's book examines WoW's origins, the addictive power of its gameplay loop, the romances WoW has both cemented and shattered, the enabling power of anonymity, and the thrill of conquering BlizzCon with guildmates you've known for years and just met for the first time.

  Eating when you're hungry ... how simple is that? Not so simple for Josie and the friends she met when she took herself off to One Step, the local Overeaters Anonymous Group. She heard about Rachel's extended family, who thought meeting meant eating. She met Christopher who could only stomach one coloured food at a time. There was Olga who used food as an anchor to her past and Dave who was the family's living compost bin. Then there was Tiffany and Monica and finally Perry whose wife had two-timed his stomach as well as his heart. Josie liked to think of her food diaries as one woman's Battle of the Bulge but really it all their stories, she reflected, as she sat down to write that last entry.
  With Julie McGregor as Josie, as heard on ABC Radio.

  From North Korean Refugee to the United Nations: A Courageous and Compassionate Memoir 
  Soon-Young Yoon understood from an early age that people's destinies are connected to international events. This book is a collection of her reflections as a women's human rights advocate speaking up to end violence against women and change the world to ensure gender equality, sustainable development, and peace. 
  Yoon has seen the struggle for human rights in all corners of the world, meeting with people in urban slums and the offices of the United Nations. She urges us to look at the world through women's eyes to understand why gender equality and women's empowerment, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable populations, is essential to our collective good. 
  In Citizen of the World, you'll be inspired by Yoon's stories on 
  Ending violence against women and girls 
  Finding the Earth's balance 
  Claiming the right to social and economic development 
  Portraits of great women leaders 
  Collective voices that are changing the world 
  Challenges working as a feminist anthropologist inside and outside the United Nations 
  Written through the lens of an anthropologist, these essays reflect her belief that one needs to understand a wide range of issues to shape our common future. 
  Students, academics, and activists in the fields of women's studies, international relations, anthropology, and social justice will find Citizen of the World both unique and eye-opening—and filled with hope for a better future for us all.
