English | ASIN: B0CDQH5K31 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:59:00 | 274 MB
A fully updated new edition of David Attenborough's bestselling classic.
BIRDS. Over 9,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song.
David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions.

Free Download The Lies of the Land: Seeing Rural America for What It Is―and Isn't (Audiobook)
English | February 27, 2024 | ASIN: B0CVJCKR4B | M4B@128 kbps | 10h 1m | 557 MB
Author: Steven Conn | Narrator: Tom Perkins
A "piercing, unsentimental" (New Yorker) history that boldly challenges the idea of a rural American crisis.
It seems everyone has an opinion about rural America. Is it gripped in a tragic decline? Or is it on the cusp of a glorious revival? Is it the key to understanding America today? Steven Conn argues that we're missing the real question: Is rural America even a thing? No, says Conn, who believes we see only what we want to see in the lands beyond the suburbs-fantasies about moral (or backward) communities, simpler (or repressive) living, and what it means to be authentically (or wrongheadedly) American. If we want to build a better future, Conn argues, we must accept that these visions don't exist and never did.

Free Download The Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CZMBVQMW | 2024 | 14 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 426 MB
Author: Stefanos Geroulanos
Narrator: Elizabeth Wiley
Books about the origins of humanity dominate bestseller lists, while national newspapers present breathless accounts of new archaeological findings and speculate about what those findings tell us about our earliest ancestors. We are obsessed with prehistory-and, in this respect, our current era is no different from any other in the last three hundred years. In this coruscating work, acclaimed historian Stefanos Geroulanos demonstrates how claims about the earliest humans not only shaped Western intellectual culture, but gave rise to our modern world.

Free Download The Intuition Toolkit: The New Science of Knowing What Without Knowing Why (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CGJLBNFZ | 2024 | 4 hours and 51 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 238 MB
Author: Joel Pearson
Narrator: Joel Pearson
Five easy rules for developing intuition, based on trailblazing research by a top Australian neuroscientist. Learn when it's safe to rely on intuition in decision-making and when it's not. Intuition has saved lives and averted disasters, and it also lies behind countless innovative decisions. Steve Jobs, for one, regularly relied on his intuition in making business decisions at Apple. Some people use intuition more readily than others but anyone can learn to develop and trust it. The key is ensuring that certain conditions are met so as to avoid the pitfalls. Neuroscientist Joel Pearson has identified five essential rules for using intuition, easily remembered by the acronym SMILE: S: Self-awareness (Feeling emotional? Don't trust your intuition). M: Mastery (Learn before you leap: why mastery matters for intuition). I: Impulses and Addiction (These are not intuition). L: Low Probability (Don't use intuition for probabilistic judgments). E: Environment (Use intuition only in familiar and predictable contexts). In explaining these rules, Joel takes anecdotes from real life, including mountain climber Jon Muir's lifesaving decision; a gameshow that uses humans' innate misunderstanding of probability to rig its prizes; why you should never go rock-climbing on a first date; and what happens when Usain Bolt races in low gravity. The Intuition Toolkit is scientifically solid, highly enjoyable and utterly fascinating.

Free Download The Hindus: An Alternative History (Audiobook)
English | June 29, 2021 | ASIN: B0977PML2J | M4B@64 kbps | 32h 14m | 880 MB
Author: Wendy Doniger | Narrator: Amy Landon
From one of the world's foremost scholars on Hinduism, a vivid reinterpretation of its history.
Hinduism does not lend itself easily to a strictly chronological account. Many of its central texts cannot be reliably dated within a century; its central tenets arise at particular moments in Indian history and often differ according to gender or caste; and the differences between groups of Hindus far outnumber the commonalities. Yet the greatness of Hinduism lies precisely in many of these idiosyncratic qualities that continue to inspire debate today.
