Join Biologist Ashley Ward as he takes listeners into the intimate worlds of social animals. Journeying from Aysgarth Falls to the Great Barrier Reef, it becomes clear that animals are not so far removed from us as we might imagine. In a time where humans are struggling to navigate cityscapes, isolation and a loneliness epidemic, Ward shows us that studying the social behaviour of animals offers insights valuable in their own right as well as a window into the evolutionary basis of our own species.

Our senses are what make life worth living. They allow us to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover. But only recently have incredible advances in sensory biology given us the ability to understand how and why our senses evolved as they have. In this book, biologist Ashley Ward takes listeners on a breathtaking tour of how our senses function. Ward looks at not only the five major senses—vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—but also a host of other senses, such as balance and interoception, the sense of the body’s internal state.

As Generation X approaches the “Hey you kids get off my lawn!” age, it’s the perfect time to take stock of what exactly it is that defines us. Join Nate Starkey, Ashley Ward, and Matt Vogel — three Gen Xers bringing their personal perspectives to a wide range of pop culture, historic, and coming-of-age memories as part of the “forgotten generation”. If you, like us, are beginning to wonder if the crazy shit we grew up with actually happened, or was just some hair metal, Pac-Man, Speak & Spell-fueled fever dream…then SOLVE FOR GEN X is worth a listen. But whatever.
