Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works.

In Your Brain Is a Time Machine, brain researcher and best-selling author Dean Buonomano draws on evolutionary biology, physics, and philosophy to present his influential theory of how we tell and perceive time. The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells time but creates it; it constructs our sense of chronological flow and enables "mental time travel" - simulations of future and past events.

An important book to wildlife conservation!
"Wildlife Conservation Decoded" provides an insightful and strategic approach to managing and prioritizing wildlife conservation, ecological balance, and biodiversity. The book is commended for its detailed exploration of strategies for species reintroduction, predator management, seasonal dynamics, and environmental enhancement, making it a resourceful guide for those involved in conservation efforts. It also offers a deep understanding of the history and purpose of conservation, as well as the background of extinction events that have shaped our planet's biological tapestry.
A standout aspect of the book is its clear delineation between conservation science and conservation biology, particularly noting the urgency and proactive nature required in conservation efforts. Furthermore, the author adeptly discusses the dire consequences of climate change on wildlife conservation, emphasizing the ongoing and future threats if effective measures are not taken. Importantly, the book provides actionable steps for individual involvement in conservation and shares motivational success stories from recent projects and initiatives. This combination of history, strategy, science, and activism makes "Wildlife Conservation Decoded" a meaningful contribution to environmental literature.
At The Wildlife Center at Legends Ranch, we will incorporate the valuable lessons learned from "Wildlife Conservation Decoded" to enlighten our guests about the critical and urgent nature of conservation work, underlining their role in this global effort and inspiring them with successful conservation strategies that are already making a difference.

a great book about wild life conservation
the title got me hooked straight away, we have two dogs and ive always been quite into pets, wildlives and all kinds of creatures. before i start reading this book, i'd never expect to learn so much about wildlife and wildlife conservation in this short 4 hours. there's some solid insights about the conservations and wildlife and our planet earth. and it's explained in a very easy way for beginners to understand, for someone like me that never had really much actual exposure to wildlives, this book is always quite easy to follow. very fun to learn about all these animals.

Impressive Amount of Interesting Information!
I loved this audiobook for all the interesting things I've learned about nature. It is informative yet has a fast pace and I never expected to be ear-hooked for four hours.
