Sinopse

Stories of Lava Islands takes readers on a vivid journey through the world’s most extraordinary volcanic islands, each born from Earth's fiery depths. The book explores how these dramatic landforms—emerging through eruptions and tectonic shifts—transform into biodiverse, life-sustaining ecosystems over time. From Santorini’s tranquil cliffs to Yakushima’s ancient forests and Yellowstone’s geothermal marvels, the narrative combines geology, history, ecology, and human culture. These islands are not only natural wonders but also powerful storytellers of Earth’s resilience, danger, and beauty. The book examines their formation, the unique flora and fauna they nurture, and the cultural and scientific significance they hold. It brings together facts, anecdotes, and environmental insight to highlight the balance between natural power and delicate ecosystems. More than just landmasses, these lava-born islands represent nature’s ability to create, destroy, and renew. This is a celebration of Earth’s ever-changing face and the inspiration we can draw from its volcanic heartlands.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Alien UFOs and the Heliosphere - Decoding the Cosmic Puzzle of Alien Life and Our Place Among the Stars takes listeners on a breathtaking journey through the mysteries of the universe, the enigma of UFOs, and the vast protective bubble of the heliosphere that shapes our cosmic neighbourhood. 
    Blending science, history, and speculation, this audiobook explores humanity’s oldest questions: Are we alone? If intelligent life exists, why haven’t we found it - or has it already found us? From the myths and sightings that fuelled the UFO phenomenon, to the cutting-edge astrophysics of interstellar space, this book examines the paradoxes, challenges, and possibilities of extraterrestrial life. 
    Listeners will uncover how the heliosphere shields us from deadly cosmic radiation, why interstellar communication may be far more difficult than science fiction imagines, and how the very structure of time and space limits our reach across the stars. Along the way, profound questions emerge: Could Earth itself be a recipient of alien exploration? Are we searching in the wrong places - or even asking the wrong questions? 
    With a balance of scientific insight and cosmic wonder, Alien UFOs and the Heliosphere is a guide for anyone fascinated by the unknown, curious about the science of space, and eager to reconsider our place in the universe.

    Biocivilisations - A New Look at...

    Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.  
    What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.  
    The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.  
    In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.  
    Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.

Whether you are a first-time parrot owner or have experience with pet birds, understanding the intricacies of parrot care and training is essential for ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered friend. 
    In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about parrot care and training, from choosing the right parrot for your lifestyle to understanding their behavior, health needs, and how to train them effectively. Parrots can make wonderful pets, but they require commitment, time, and patience. This book aims to provide you with the knowledge and tools to not only care for your parrot but to also build a lasting bond through trust and interaction. 
    The appeal of parrots lies in their incredible intelligence and capacity for social connection. Parrots are not just pets; they are companions that can form strong emotional bonds with their owners. Their ability to learn and communicate with humans, often through vocalizations or even gestures, makes them a rewarding choice for those who are prepared to meet their complex needs. However, this intelligence can also present challenges, as parrots require consistent stimulation and social interaction to remain mentally and physically healthy.

    Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
     
     
     
    With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
     
     
     
    How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.
