  Dividing Lines - How...

  Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
   
   
   
  As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.

  Spacetime – How the Universe Learns to Think 
  (Physics Explained Simply | Volume 3) 
  What is spacetime, really? 
  A fixed framework of space and time — or a living fabric that connects motion, energy, and perception? 
  In Volume 3 of the Physics Explained Simply series, Orhan Schöwe explores one of the deepest concepts of modern physics: spacetime. This audiobook explains, clearly and without formulas, how space and time are inseparably intertwined — and why this insight fundamentally changes our understanding of reality. 
  You will discover:why space and time are not separate entitieshow gravity and motion shape the structure of the universewhy time does not simply pass, but is part of a larger relational wholehow spacetime expands our thinking about the world, life, and consciousness 
  Spacetime – How the Universe Learns to Think combines scientific precision with a calm, focused narrative voice. It is not a textbook, but an intellectual journey through the structure of reality — accessible, concentrated, and open to wonder. 
  For everyone who wants to listen to physics and truly understand it 
  — without mathematical barriers, 
  — without oversimplification, 
  — but with depth, clarity, and philosophical openness.

  Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior -...

  Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
   
   
   
  David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
   
   
   
  Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.
