Global Disaster Response Guide

Ajit Dubashi

Summary

This book provides adventurous facts and crucial information about disasters throughout history and in the present day. We shine a light on heroic human responses during disasters, guiding readers on how to prepare for, combat, and recover from such situations. Real-world examples illustrate how various disasters were handled with care and concern.
"Global Disaster Response Guide" is not just reading material; it encourages critical thinking and decision-making in disaster scenarios. We aim to stimulate readers' minds, prompting them to consider disaster management, the UN International Strategy for disaster reduction, hazard analysis, risk and vulnerability assessment, and effective mitigation and recovery strategies. This book fosters a dialogue within oneself, the community, and with authorities about disaster response.
Given the emotional, financial, and psychological impacts of disasters, publishing this book was essential despite the challenges. Thorough research on disaster management, preparedness, and recovery is necessary for everyone—not just those in risk zones. Disasters are unpredictable and can disrupt all aspects of life, making this guide invaluable.

The Sleep Reset System - A...

Christine Kennedy

The Sleep Reset System gives listeners a practical, structured way to stop treating sleep like a mystery and start rebuilding the conditions that make it happen naturally. Instead of relying on one-off tips, supplements, or generic relaxation advice, it presents sleep as a system shaped by biology, environment, timing, habits, stress, and conditioning.
Listeners learn how sleep actually works, how to identify whether their main issue is falling asleep, staying asleep, poor sleep efficiency, or schedule misalignment, and how to fix the specific inputs that may be keeping them awake. The book walks through the core levers that influence better sleep: morning light, circadian rhythm, sleep pressure, bedroom darkness and temperature, caffeine and alcohol timing, movement, wind-down routines, screen boundaries, anxious thoughts, and the learned association between bed and wakefulness.
Its strongest value is that it turns sleep improvement into a repeatable protocol. Each chapter gives the listener a clear next step that can be done quickly, making the book useful not only as an explanation of sleep, but as a practical reset plan. The listener walks away with a system they can apply tonight, refine over the next few weeks, and return to whenever stress, travel, parenting, work, or bad habits disrupt their sleep again.
The core promise is simple: better sleep doesn’t come from forcing yourself to shut down. It comes from sending the right signals to your body, in the right order, consistently enough for sleep to become natural again.

Chaste Mimosa - The Psychology...

Terence McMullen

Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

Erich von Däniken

A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything
There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?
Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.
Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.
Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.
