Beschreibung

"Foundations of Plate Tectonics" takes readers on a journey through the foundational concept of plate tectonics in Earth science. We begin by explaining the theory's history, from early ideas to modern understanding. The book then dives into core concepts: plates, their boundaries, the forces that move them, and the role of the mantle.
Readers will learn about geological processes driven by plate tectonics, including earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and the formation of continents and oceans. We also explore environmental impacts, such as natural disasters and long-term effects on climate and life.
The societal relevance of plate tectonics is a key theme, examining how plate movements influence resource distribution, cultural development, and planning for a sustainable future.
"Foundations of Plate Tectonics" is written for a broad audience, from beginners to advanced researchers. With clear explanations, vivid illustrations, and real-world examples, it provides a comprehensive and engaging exploration of this fascinating science.

    Multiverse theory posits the existence of multiple, possibly infinite, universes that exist parallel to our own, collectively forming what is known as the "multiverse." The origins of this theory are rooted in quantum mechanics and cosmology. In 1957, physicist Hugh Everett III proposed the "Many-Worlds Interpretation" of quantum mechanics, suggesting that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are realized in some "world" or universe, leading to a vast number of parallel universes. In cosmology, theoretical models involving inflation (a rapid expansion of the universe after the Big Bang) suggest that different regions of space could stop inflating at different times, creating separate "bubble universes" with potentially different physical properties. 
      
    There are various types of multiverses proposed by scientists. A Level I multiverse includes regions beyond our observable universe, where regions sufficiently far away might have different physical conditions and histories. A Level II multiverse consists of universes with different physical constants and laws of physics, arising from different inflationary conditions. The Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is considered a Level III multiverse, where every quantum event branches into new universes. A Level IV multiverse encompasses universes with fundamentally different mathematical structures, including all possible mathematical realities.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if dreams are more than fleeting visions of the night? What if they are windows into hidden dimensions of the mind, time, and the universe itself? 
    Dreaming the Universe – Exploring the Hidden Secrets of Sleep is a journey into the mysteries of the dreamworld - an unseen landscape where science, spirituality, and the subconscious converge. From the forgotten third of our lives spent asleep, to the ancient cultures that revered dreams as gateways to wisdom, this audiobook unveils the extraordinary patterns behind our nightly visions. 
    Discover how the architecture of sleep shapes our consciousness, why dreams often mirror waking life, and how symbols and archetypes form a secret language of the inner world. Explore the mysteries of prophetic dreams, déjà vu, lucid dreaming, and the possibility that the universe itself dreams through us. 
    Blending neuroscience, psychology, mythology, and metaphysics, this thought-provoking exploration reveals how dreams connect us to deeper layers of reality - sometimes even bending time, guiding synchronicities, and offering glimpses of futures yet to unfold. 
    Whether you are a lucid dreamer, a seeker of hidden knowledge, or simply curious about the vast untapped realm within, Dreaming the Universe will open your mind to the profound power of sleep and the dreaming self. 
    Step into the night. Enter the dream. And awaken to the universe within.

    "If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later."—Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland 
     
     
      
    In both history and fiction, some of the most dramatic, notorious deaths have been through poisonings. Concealed and deliberate, it's a crime that requires advance planning and that for many centuries could go virtually undetected. And yet there is a fine line between healing and killing: the difference lies only in the dosage! In Botanical Curses and Poisons, Fez Inkwright returns to folkloric and historical archives to reveal the fascinating, untold stories behind a variety of lethal plants, witching herbs, and funghi. Going from A to Z, she covers everything from apple (think of the poisoned fruit in "Snow White") and the hallucinogenic angel's trumpet to laurel, which emits toxic fumes, to oleander (a deadly ornamental shrub), with each plant beautifully illustrated by the author herself. This enthralling treasury is packed with insight, lore, and the revealed mysteries of everyday flora—including the prevalence of poisoning in ancient Rome, its use in religion and magic, and common antidotes—making this perfect for gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches, and scientists alike!

    Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
     
     
     
    Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.
