the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio , and Stacey Colino, an award-winning science writer. Dogs have been considered people's best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today. With all of the seismic shifts in today's world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives. Now, The Purest Bond explores the benefits our dogs can have on our physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being, often without our realizing it. Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, The Purest Bond explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what's right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrongNature champions (Little People, BIG DREAMS)

What an owl knows: The new science of the world's most enigmatic birds
Par Jennifer Ackerman. 2023
An instant New York Times bestseller! Named a Best Book of 2023 by Publishers Weekly From the author of The…
Genius of Birds and The Bird Way , a brilliant scientific investigation into owls—the most elusive of birds—and why they exert such a hold on human imagination For millennia, owls have captivated and intrigued us. Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than thirty thousand years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Though our fascination goes back centuries, scientists have only recently begun to understand in deep detail the complex nature of these extraordinary birds. Some two hundred sixty species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active in the dark of night. Jennifer Ackerman illuminates the rich biology and natural history of these birds and reveals remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior. She joins scientists in the field and explores how researchers are using modern technology and tools to learn how owls communicate, hunt, court, mate, raise their young, and move about from season to season. We now know that the hoots, squawks, and chitters of owls follow sophisticated and complex rules, allowing them to express not just their needs and desires but their individuality and identity. Owls duet. They migrate. They hoard their prey. Some live in underground burrows; some roost in large groups; some dine on black widows and scorpions. Ackerman brings this research alive with her own personal field observations about owls and dives deep into why these birds beguile us. What an Owl Knows is an awe-inspiring exploration of owls across the globe and through human history, and a spellbinding account of their astonishing hunting skills, communication, and sensory prowess. By providing extraordinary new insights into the science of owls, What an Owl Knows pulls back the curtain on the nature of the world’s most enigmatic group of birdsEvolution Under Pressure: How We Change Nature and How Nature Changes Us

Immersive non-fiction with STEM and social justice themes that proves that the future of the environment is in our hands—and…
helps pave the way forward.Evolution isn’t just a thing of the past. It is happening right now, in every species across the world—and our influence on the future of the plants and animals around us is much bigger than we might think. A closer look at the science behind evolution shows how human behaviors like hunting, farming, and urban development have contributed to major physical changes in everything from rhinos to pigs to lizards. And these changes impact us in turn—triggering environmental shifts and contributing to climate change. The good news is there’s hope: by learning to see how everything is connected, we can weigh the consequences of our choices and help shape a world that works for plants, animals, and humans alike.Making connections across anthropology, biology, and ecology, award-winning author Yolanda Ridge takes an intersectional approach to a challenging topic—examining the factors that influence human behavior while looking forward to explain the changes we can make and the ethics of those choices. Profiles of young activists and innovators highlight the ways readers can contribute to restoring ecological balance, while vibrant illustrations by Dane Thibeault evoke the energy and beauty of the natural world we are working to preserve.*A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard SelectionGrizzly Bears: Guardians of the Wilderness (Orca Wild #10)

York Times bestselling author of the How Not to Die series When Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org, dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research, he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging. We don't need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young—we already have the tools. In How Not to Age , the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life. Physicians have long treated aging as a malady, but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies' cells and we can disrupt each of them. Processes like autophagy, the upcycling of unusable junk, can be boosted with spermidine, a compound found in tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Senescent "zombie" cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions, apples, and kale. And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank. Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2,000 times cheaper? Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of centenarians and residents of "blue zone" regions where people live the longest, Dr. Greger presents simple, accessible, and evidence-based methods to preserve the body functions that keep you feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Brimming with expertise and actionable takeaways, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for achieving ultimate longevityEmperor penguin: A first field guide to the flightless bird from antarctica (Young Zoologist)

Par Taras Grescoe. 2023
The world can't sustain the way we eat today. Whether it's ultra-processed oils, factoryfarmed meat, or monoculture wheat, industrial agriculture…
has increasingly dire consequences for the vibrancy of our plates, health, and planet. While some look to high tech solutions, like lab-grown meat or transgenic produce, Taras Grescoe argues that the future of our food lies in the diversity of the past. In The Lost Supper, Grescoe searches for the fascinating flavors, many forgotten or on the verge of extinction, that tell the stories of civilizations: "Aztec caviar" from a vanishing lake in Mexico; garum, the secret umami ingredient of Ancient Roman cuisine; acorn-fed feral pigs on one of Georgia's barrier islands; and camas, a staple of Northwest Coast Indigenous Peoples. He chronicles a growing movement of archaeologists, farmers, and food producers who are unearthing and reviving the nourishing, delicious, and sustainable foods of the past—from Neolithic sourdough and farmhouse cheese to wild olives and long-thought extinct plants—along with chefs and enthusiasts who are bringing history alive in their own kitchens. A deep dive into the archaeology of taste and an impassioned manifesto for the future of food, The Lost Supper sets out a provocative case: in order to save ourselves, we need to think—and eat—much more like our ancestors didQue mangerons-nous demain?

" Les mammifères nous fascinent parce que leurs comportements sont captivants et que leurs capacités à nager, courir, bondir, grimper…
aux arbres, planer ou voler de manière aussi efficace nous impressionnent. Ils nous émerveillent aussi, sans doute parce qu'ils partagent bien des points communs avec nous. Fruit du travail de cinq auteurs dont les articles ont été publiés dans le magazine Nature Sauvage, ce livre dresse le portrait de 16 mammifères parmi les plus représentatifs de notre faune. Les espèces choisies sont parfois communes (le castor du Canada, la souris sylvestre, le cerf de Virginie), parfois rares et charismatiques (le carcajou, le couguar), mais toujours intéressantes, notamment en ce qui concerne leurs habitudes de vie (le loup gris, le lynx du Canada). Du polatouche des forêts tempérées à l'ours blanc du Québec nordique, de la loutre de la vallée du Saint-Laurent au boeuf musqué de la toundra, le lecteur apprendra à mieux connaître la vie cachée des mammifères. Mieux, il entrera dans leur monde et marchera, à l'orée des bois, à leur rencontre. " -- 4e de couvLe sexe, l'homme et l'évolution

sexe. Comme si les femmes et les hommes découvraient enfin la plénitude du sexe ! De la sexologie à la paléoanthropologie, de multiples disciplines nous font aussi mieux comprendre la complexité de nos désirs et de nos comportements. Cet ouvrage propose une approche ordonnée de la sexualité humaine depuis ses origines lointaines jusqu'à ses problématiques actuelles. Sur tous les sujets, il présente les connaissances scientifiques les plus récentes, mais aussi récuse les idées reçues ou les fausses explications. L'orientation, l'attachement, les sentiments, l'amour, la fidélité, la puberté, les apprentissages, la sexualité adulte épanouie, les nouvelles pratiques, les perversions, la pornographie : tous les thèmes clés qui font notre vie érotique. En fil conducteur, une question centrale : qu'est-ce qui est vraiment humain ? Et qu'en était-il de la sexualité de nos lointains ancêtres ? » -- 4e de couvLa plus belle histoire des animaux
