What We Are Reading Today: ‘The Difference’ by Scott E. Page

In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves in relation to one another. 

“The Difference” is about how we think in groups—and how our collective wisdom exceeds the sum of its parts. 

Why can teams of people find better solutions than brilliant individuals working alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon the very qualities that make each of us unique? The answers lie in diversity—not what we look like outside, but what we look like within, our distinct tools and abilities.

What We Are Reading Today: ‘The Voices of Nature’ by Nicolas Mathevon

What is the meaning of a bird’s song, a baboon’s bark, an owl’s hoot, or a dolphin’s clicks? In “The Voices of Nature,” Nicolas Mathevon explores the mysteries of animal sound.

Putting readers in the middle of animal soundscapes that range from the steamy heat of the Amazon jungle to the icy terrain of the Arctic, Mathevon reveals the amazing variety of animal vocalizations.

He describes how animals use sound to express emotion, to choose a mate, to trick others, to mark their territory, to call for help, and much more.
