  This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant and animal life. 
  Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals and plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain and Ireland, together with more than 6,000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on our planet. 
  This book will explore the fascinating relationships within and between species who make their home on our beautiful isles. 
  Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain and Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, and we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird and mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, and streams and rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems and interrelations within and beside these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain and Ireland’s woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of the forests and trees that remain are unusually ancient and, great repositories of life. Finally, of course, we are surrounded by sea, and our position on the continental shelf before it plunges into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to an often overlooked plenty of marine life. A glorious richness divided into five breathtaking sections. 
  In Wild Isles, the latest Sunday Times bestselling book by Patrick Barkham, the beauty and diversity of nature in the British Isles are brought to life. Through stunning photography and engaging narrative, Barkham explores the various habitats and the intricate ecology that defines them. 
  For fans of Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot), Josh Young (Expedition Deep Ocean), Matt Kaplan (The Science of Monsters), and Nigel Henbest (Philip's Stargazing 2024 Month-by-Month Guide to the Night Sky Britain & Ireland).

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Behind the polished halls of medicine lies a chilling history of doctors who abandoned their oath and turned living human beings into laboratory subjects. From the fog-shrouded streets of 1820s Edinburgh, where anatomist Robert Knox purchased bodies from the notorious murderers Burke and Hare, to the shocking case of Alexis St. Martin—the wounded voyageur whose exposed stomach became a decade-long science experiment—these are the true stories medical textbooks refuse to fully confront. This gripping audiobook exposes the darkest chapters of medical history, revealing how the pursuit of scientific knowledge repeatedly collided with basic human dignity. Explore chilling accounts of body snatching, forced human experimentation, unethical clinical trials, and the physicians who justified unspeakable acts in the name of progress. Uncover the origins of modern medical ethics, informed consent laws, and the Anatomy Act of 1832, all born from tragedies that should never have happened. Meticulously researched and unflinchingly told, this true crime and medical history exploration examines the exploitation of the poor, the powerless, and the voiceless by men in white coats. Perfect for fans of dark history, true crime podcasts, medical mysteries, and forensic investigation, this collection reveals how science advanced on the backs of victims whose names history nearly forgot. Listen now and confront the disturbing legacy of doctors who crossed the line—and the reforms their crimes finally forced into existence.

  Sleep Sounds 1 Fall Asleep...

  Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep. 
  The Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
  The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
  Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of Calming Rain, Distant Thunder and the Gentle Tones of Classical Music. 
  Program Two: 10 hours of just the sounds of Calming Rain and Distant Thunder without the classical music. 
  The classical musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
  The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
  So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
  Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include mellow arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of "Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."
