A thread for November.
We point out free and bargain nonfiction titles to each other. Please don't post any self-published books, and please do a search before posting to avoid duplicates.

I just got the University of Chicago Press email for this month and I'm really excited to read it.
Sexy Orchids Make Lousy Lovers & Other Unusual Relationships by Marty Crump
Quote:

Vampire bats that regurgitate blood for roosting buddies. Mosquitoes that filch honeydew droplets from ants. Reptiles that enforce chastity on their lovers with copulatory plugs. Capuchin monkeys that use millipede secretions as mosquito repellent. The natural world is full of unusual relationships, and negotiation between life-forms striving to survive is evolution at its most diverse, entertaining, and awe-inspiring.

Unfortunately for many, it's a PDF this month.
