  What happens to identity when we're obsessed with self-surveillance and devalued words? Now that we've sold ourselves to ourselves, shuffling letters and sounds around to hide the pain, how do we represent the uncanny valley in which we've set up shop? In Cursed Objects, Jason Christie recoils in horror at the thoroughness of his self, then begins to write toward a new understanding brokered between all the things that define him and who he thinks he should be and interrogates how we reduce people to words, especially online, turning them into objects.

  Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
   
   
   
  David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
   
   
   
  Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

  This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. 
  He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research he never allowed it to be considered simply an alternative asthma treatment' as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and Breathing clinics it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world. 
  Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
  1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
  2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
  3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
  4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program. 
  5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
  6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia. 
  The book's approximate length is 35,000 words.

  This book explores the fascinating world of two critical fields in physics: plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plays a crucial role in everything from the sun’s energy production to potential advancements in controlled fusion energy. Plasma physics investigates the behavior of ionized gases under various conditions, aiming to harness this powerful energy source. Controlled fusion, a field within plasma physics, focuses on replicating the energy-producing reactions of the sun, offering a potential solution for sustainable, clean energy. Meanwhile, fluid dynamics, the study of the movement of liquids and gases, impacts various applications from engineering and meteorology to biology. 
  This book delves into the intricate interactions between these two domains, examining how fluids and plasmas behave under different forces, temperatures, and magnetic fields. By integrating plasma physics, controlled fusion, and fluid dynamics, the text provides a comprehensive understanding of how motion and energy interact on both a micro and macro scale. The principles outlined have far-reaching implications for both theoretical research and practical applications, including energy generation, propulsion systems, and the study of natural phenomena such as weather patterns and ocean currents.

  Why choose between healthy, organic vegetables and saving money, when you can have both? And you can do it in just a few weeks! 
  People are constantly on the lookout for ways to feed themselves and their families with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Sadly, this is becoming more and more expensive. 
  It costs around two dollars for one pound of tomatoes and more than double that if you want to go organic. 
  In comparison, for just five dollars, you can plant a whole pack of tomato seeds with each plant producing an average of 10 pounds. 
  Add to that the fewer trips to the grocery store and no plastic wrapping—you are onto a winner. 
  According to the National Gardening Association, the average gardener will spend only $70 a year on their garden but grow $600 worth of food. 
  On top of the savings, you get to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables from your garden, knowing that not a single chemical has been used. That’s health and savings in one fun activity! 
  Many will look at vegetable gardens and marvel at the time and skill it must have taken. In fact, all it has taken is knowledge and patience. 
  The patience is up to you, but the knowledge you need is right here at your future green fingertips.
