  A Dark History Revealed
  In the early twentieth century, eugenics was at the forefront of scientific discourse in the quest to understand human genetics. On Long Island and throughout the nation, eugenicists were granted unfettered access to conduct experiments on prisoners, psychiatric patients, Coney Island circus performers and more, all in an effort to legitimize a false science. The origins of the eugenics movement can be found within the Eugenics Record Office, an otherwise nondescript two-and-a-half-story administrative building at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, under the direction of Charles Benedict Davenport from 1910 to 1939. The work conducted there directly led to the forced sterilization of thousands of American citizens and the passage of anti-immigration laws and sparked a deadly global movement.
  Author Mark Torres explores the local characters, influences, landmarks and ghastly consequences that emanated from this small Long Island facility for decades and spread throughout the world.

  This audiobook features continuous background field recordings of natural bird sounds combined with ambient forest atmosphere. It is designed to support rest, productive focus, deep relaxation, and quiet meditation.

  The American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) is a small North American songbird commonly found throughout southern Canada, the United States, and parts of northern Mexico. It inhabits open fields, meadows, woodland edges, gardens, and areas with abundant wildflowers and seed-bearing plants. It is known for its cheerful, musical vocalizations, including bright chirps, sweet whistles, and its distinctive undulating flight calls. 
  In natural environments, American Goldfinches are most often heard during the daytime, especially in open meadows, fields, gardens, and woodland edges. Their lively songs and calls contribute to the vibrant acoustic atmosphere of summer landscapes and are a familiar sound across much of North America. 
  Visually, the American Goldfinch is recognized for its small size and striking seasonal plumage. Breeding males display brilliant yellow feathers with a black cap and black wings marked with white, while females and non-breeding males exhibit softer olive-brown and yellow tones that provide natural camouflage among grasses and foliage.

  Dick Carter: Yacht Designer - In...

  Not many 'amateur' yacht designers would dare to enter the first boat they had ever designed into the epic offshore Fastnet Race, let alone with the intention of winning it. But that is what Dick Carter did in 1964, beating all 151 other yachts, some sailed by the most notable sailors of the day. He repeated the feat 4 years later with another of his own designs (which also won the Admiral's Cup that year as top boat and top team), but by then he could certainly not be described as an 'amateur' yacht designer. His radical innovations created fast and comfortable boats which were much in demand in this, the golden age of offshore racing. They were commissioned by the top sailors and succeeded in winning the Admiral's Cup, Southern Cross Series, One Ton Cup, Two Ton Cup and many of the biggest races. He even went on to design the massive 128-foot Vendredi Treize for Jean-Yves Terlain to sail single-handed in the 1972 OSTAR (trans-Atlantic) race – the longest boat ever to have been raced single-handed. But after just a decade at the top of his game, he quit the world of sailing and moved on to other challenges. He hadn't been heard of for so long that sailors assumed he was dead. His surprise appearance at the funeral of Ted Hood gave rise to the suggestion that he wrote this book. It is beautifully produced with many fabulous photographs and boat plans and was first published in the US by Seapoint Books and is now published in the UK by Fernhurst Books. While his career as a yacht designer may have been brief, the impact of his innovations has lasted the test of time. Who today would think of an offshore yacht without internal halyards in the mast or that the rudder always had to be fixed to the keel? These concepts, and many more, were first introduced by Dick Carter.
