Sinopse

The subject is topical, and the author’s angle is provocative, but not contrarian. Acknowledges many of the environmental concerns, but also note that some plastics are not as bad compared to some of the alternatives. Interesting detail about the people behind the invention of plastic. Will appeal to fans of popular science and those with interest in environmental issues.

    Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known.  
    This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe:how a cancer friend is different from other friends; things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman;specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments.  
    You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.”  
    Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Imagine a universe with no edges, no beginning, no end—a universe where every possible version of reality already exists. Infinity: Why Nothing Ends and Everything Is Possible takes you on a journey into the heart of this eternal, infinite cosmos. 
    Through the lens of physics, cosmology, philosophy, and human experience, this book explores: 
    How infinite space and infinite time guarantee that all possibilities exist somewhere. 
    Why consciousness is not an accident, but a fundamental aspect of reality, allowing the universe to know itself. 
    How time is an illusion, and how the “present moment” contains all pasts, all futures, and all possibilities. 
    How infinite versions of “you” exist across timelines, universes, and dimensions, all connected through awareness. 
    How life itself reflects infinity, from the fractal geometry of the cosmos to the way human connection creates infinite reflections in one another. 
    Richly illustrated with metaphors, thought experiments, and poetic insights, this book guides readers to a profound understanding: you are not separate from the infinite - you are an expression of it. When two people meet, when a gaze connects, infinity is mirrored back through consciousness, creating endless patterns of experience and connection. 
    Infinity is a book for those who are curious about the universe, fascinated by consciousness, or seeking a deeper understanding of reality. It blends science, philosophy and spirituality into a coherent vision of life and existence that is both awe-inspiring and deeply practical. 
    Open it, and you will never see yourself - or the universe - the same way again.
