Infectious Disease - A Very...

Marta Wayne, Benjamin Bolker

Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways that spread disease.

Snakes - Essential Snake Care...

Angie Tracks

Snakes have fascinated humans for centuries, evoking a mix of awe and curiosity. With their sleek, sinuous bodies and mysterious behaviors, they are often misunderstood and feared. However, as exotic pets, snakes offer a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of the animal kingdom in a way that few other pets can. This chapter aims to provide an introduction to snakes as pets, explore why they are an excellent choice for certain pet owners, and outline the key considerations before deciding to bring a snake into your home.
The appeal of snakes as pets has grown significantly over the years. Unlike traditional pets such as dogs or cats, snakes are relatively low-maintenance creatures that do not require constant attention. They don’t need daily walks, grooming, or feeding multiple times a day. This makes them ideal for people with busy lifestyles or those who prefer a pet that does not demand much interaction. Additionally, snakes come in a wide variety of species, each with its own unique characteristics, colors, and sizes. This diversity means that potential snake owners can find a species that matches their preferences and available space.
However, despite their advantages, keeping a snake is not without its challenges. They require specific care, such as the correct habitat setup, temperature control, and feeding schedule. A proper understanding of their needs is crucial to ensure the snake’s health and well-being. In this book, we will guide you through everything you need to know to become a successful snake owner, from selecting the right species to providing the ideal environment and handling your snake safely.

Why Matter Doesn't Matter:...

Samuel Avery

Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter — a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness.  
 
Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental — and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality. 
 
Avery provides a new lens for understanding the greatest enigmas of physics, helping listeners transcend the limitation of seeing the universe as purely material and question the foundations upon which our current paradigms rest. 
In the final chapter, Avery invites listeners to embark on an experiential journey — a practical approach to directly experiencing the dimensional nature of perception and reality as rooted in consciousness itself.  
 
Whether you're a curious newcomer, a student of physics, or a spiritual seeker, Why Matter Doesn't Matter offers a paradigm-shifting exploration into the very fabric of existence, shedding new light on the mysteries of the universe and our role within it.
