    The Snow Leopard Project Audiobook by Alex Dehgan

Postwar Afghanistan is fragile, volatile, and perilous. It is also a place of extraordinary beauty. Evolutionary biologist Alex Dehgan arrived in the country in 2006 to build the Wildlife Conservation Society's Afghanistan Program and preserve and protect Afghanistan's unique and extraordinary environment, which had been decimated after decades of war. Conservation, it turned out, provided a common bond between Alex's team and the people of Afghanistan. His international team worked unarmed in some of the most dangerous places in the country - places so remote that winding roads would abruptly disappear and travel was on foot, yak, or mule. In The Snow Leopard Project, Dehgan takes listeners along with him on his adventure as his team helps create the country's first national park, completes some of the first extensive wildlife surveys in 30 years, and works to stop the poaching of the country's iconic endangered animals, including the elusive snow leopard.

    New Dark Age Audiobook by James Bridle

    Listen to full audiobook for free : https://audiobookzap.com/free Title: New Dark AgeSubtitle: Technology and the End of the FutureCategories: Politics, Popular Culture, Public Policy, STEMAuthor: James BridleNarrator: Emily BeresfordPublisher: Tantor AudioRelease date: 01-22-2019Language: EnglishSummary:As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: The belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world. In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we're living in a new Dark Age. From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation. In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.

    Bringing Nature Home, Updated and Expanded Audiobook by Douglas W. Tallamy

    Listen to full audiobook for free : https://audiobookzap.com/free Title: Bringing Nature Home, Updated and ExpandedSubtitle: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native PlantsCategories: Animal, Biology, Birdwatching, EcologyAuthor: Douglas W. TallamyNarrator: Jonathan Todd RossPublisher: Tantor AudioRelease date: 01-22-2019Language: EnglishSummary:As development and subsequent habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. But there is an important and simple step toward reversing this alarming trend: Everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity. There is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife - native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. In many parts of the world, habitat destruction has been so extensive that local wildlife is in crisis and may be headed toward extinction. Bringing Nature Home has sparked a national conversation about the link between healthy local ecosystems and human well-being, and this audio edition will help broaden the movement. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical recommendations, everyone can make a difference. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
