When Arjan Dwarshuis first heard of the “Big Year”—the legendary record for birdwatching—he was twenty years old, it was midnight, and he was sitting on the roof of a truck in the Andean Mountains. In that moment he promised himself that, someday, somehow, he would become a world-record-holding birder. Ten years later, he embarked on an incredible, arduous, and perilous journey that took him around the globe; over uninhabited islands, through dense unforgiving rainforests, across snowy mountain peaks and unrelenting deserts—in just a single year.

Early in 2013 Neil Hayward was at a crossroads. He didn't want to open a bakery or whatever else executives do when they quit a lucrative but unfulfilling job. He didn't want to think about his failed relationship with 'the one' or his potential for ruining a new relationship with 'the next one'. And he almost certainly didn't want to think about turning 40. And so instead he went birding. Birding was a lifelong passion. It was only among the birds that Neil found a calm that had eluded him in the confusing world of humans.

In the past two decades, our understanding of the navigational and physiological feats that enable birds to cross immense oceans, fly above the highest mountains, or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch has exploded. What we've learned of these key migrations is nothing short of extraordinary. This breathtaking work of nature writing also introduces listeners to those scientists, researchers, and bird lovers trying to preserve global migratory patterns in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.

Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in audio, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths—that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life.

"There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries - what they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own.

Still needs updates
First off, these are great recordings. Unfortunately, the chapters are still labeled (in the chapter list) as "Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc" instead of with the bird names. Highly impractical, and because of this it's waste of a credit/money. The full boxed set-- "Stokes Eastern and Western Birds"-- has the chapters labeled with bird names and accompanying PDF, both of which are greatly helpful. Since, at the moment, I'm only interested in western birds, I was hoping to cut through the tedious sorting through parts to get to what I wanted by buying this. As it stands, it's useless as a refreher/learning tool without proper chapter titles. I could go through and bookmark everything, but for $20 I shouldn't have to. I'm returning this if I can, but I'd be willing to buy again if the chapter titles are updated/fixed.

CHAPTER NAMES are essential sometimes!
Audible is great but *seriously*, for a paid service, we can’t have chapter names? Have really wished for them before, but for a reference book with THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE chapters, it’s just crucial. Additionally, I couldn’t find a chapter list anywhere online, so …. I just made it through all 361 chapters of these birdsong samples, making my own handwritten list. Otherwise, no idea how a person could jump to a specific bird’s song. Yep, if I want to hear the song of an Allen’s Hummingbird, I now know to go to chapter 185, about 32 seconds in. 21 pages in a spiral notebook. Otherwise, recordings are clear and seem to be nice lengths, it’s a great option for hearing bird songs, and if you make your own list, a really useful reference.

No index or chapter title
There are hundreds of recordings here, Andrew they each link to specific species. Without a title or indeed of which entry corresponds to which species, this is basically unusable.

Useless
I pretty much NEVER complain about anything and I don't think I have ever written a negative review. However, without the hardcopy book, this Audio book is completely useless. Rather than labeling the bird songs in the Table of Content, they are just labeled Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.... And there are hundreds of "Chapters". You can't find anything.... at all. This book cost $25. Put at least a little effort into it to make it useful.
