Story
While everything appears to be collapsing around us - ecodamage, genetic engineering, virulent diseases, water shortages, global famine, wars - we can still do something about it and create a world that will work for us and for our children's children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio's feature documentary movie The 11th Hour, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture's blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem.

The world's largest land mammal could help us end cancer. The fastest bird is showing us how to solve a century-old engineering mystery. The oldest tree is giving us insights into climate change. The loudest whale is offering clues about the impact of solar storms. For a long time, scientists ignored superlative life forms as outliers. Increasingly, though, researchers are coming to see great value in studying plants and animals that exist on the outermost edges of the bell curve.

Story
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often - 200 times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake. As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last.

Best-selling author Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. Roach takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: The questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts?

You need to hear this!
I was moved when I started listening to some of the facts that we always take lightly but so much of reality; most of them were things I never thought of and could never. The book is so interesting that I recommend you listen. I enjoyed the author and narrator of this book. It moved me.

Surprising facts!
I love listening to these types of books while I work. I listened to this book and had a great time absorbing new facts and information I had no idea about. I like that the book did not focus on one specific area so it kept it fun and engaging. The way the facts are presented, they are quick and to the point so you never know what you will hear next. What's nice is the fact is presented and then a brief explanation. Many times, the fact shared caught me off guard and made me ponder to think about it. Like the fact that Argentina has a population that is made up of 62.5% of Italians. Or the fact that more people visit Spain and France than the US.
The narrator has a great voice and keeps me engaged. This is the type of book you can listen to on various occasions, you can start and stop it, and better yet, the book is meant to listen to for fun. Most books I listen to are about a serious subject, so it was nice to listen to a book that was meant to be fun.

It was interesting
This book is good for people who are always seeking facts about stuff. Of course, there are ‘facts’ I don’t really care about knowing; in other words, they are irrelevant to my interests. But overall, it’s interesting learning about them. If you are one of these people who are always seeking to learn about everything, this book is for you.

Sincerely fun
This is the kind of thing I love to listen to in the car with my nephews. It keeps them (and me) totally invested. And then we pause a lot to talk about stuff. It led to great conversations. So, I'm a big fan. Great narrator too!

Engaging Facts!
This audiobook really caught my attention. It's both educational and entertaining, which is a rare find. I was surprised to learn so many new things, and it made me realize just how much there is out there that we don't know about. The fun facts were especially interesting and kept me engaged throughout. It's the perfect audiobook to listen to with family and friends while you're all hanging out or having a chill night in. And I have to mention the narration - it's top-notch! The narrator's voice is clear, easy to listen to, and really brings the content to life. Overall, great content and narration, and definitely worth a listen!
