Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)
Loving the Unloved
Books to help you appreciate the animals and plants we tend to hate. Recommendations very welcome, I love this subject!

Bats are one of my favorite animals, but they're widely misunderstood! They're soooo cute, like lil nocturnal sky foxes, and very important to the ecosystems they live in.
This list includes both fiction and nonfiction books that feature bat characters, or are about bats, and range from picture books to adult-only romances.

Nonfiction books to understand our fellow animals and, through them, ourselves

non-fiction books about personal experiences and connections made with wild animals. books were chosen based on the relationship between author and animal, mostly from rehabilitation perspectives or what we can learn from them.
Under 10 hours - Short, workday audiobooks
Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get your horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!
