    Sleep (432Hz): Resonating with the body's natural circadian rhythms, this 432Hz collection promotes relaxation and sleep readiness while enhancing the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, and decreasing sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep). It's also associated with delta brain wave activity, which predominates during deep, restorative sleep stages. 
     
    Sound therapy works best when you’re an active participant in your own self-care. Allow yourself the space and time to truly feel these frequencies, process your emotions, and release any tension or negativity. It's a journey of self-discovery and healing, where you can explore the depths of your inner world in a safe, nurturing audio environment. Dedicate these moments to connect with your inner healer, acknowledging the power you hold within to influence your own physical and emotional state. Remember, this is more than just passive listening; it's an active process of transformation and healing. Whether you're seeking relief, balance, or simply a moment of peace, let these healing soundscapes guide you toward a more harmonious state of being.

    Have you been wondering about the big issues dominating the news? Is climate change a massive threat or not? What is really going on with immigration? More importantly, how did American politics become so divided and hostile?  What if we approached American social, cultural and political problems from a purely rational perspective? What if we focus on functional systems instead of division? Careful analysis of readily available data can help us discover patterns and uncover the real issues. An engineering perspective allows us to focus on what needs to be fixed rather than ideological divisions.  
       Finally, one of America's top engineers has brought these topics and others together in a thought-provoking book. This book is rooted in history, facts, and logic, and it lays out solutions to America's problems. A book focused to get Americans talking to one another again, so we can rise to the occasion and solve today's problems together.  
        William Taggart has over thirty years as a professional engineer in industry. He has travelled the world, building some of industry’s biggest projects and solving some of their thorniest problems. Now, he has applied analytical skills developed in industry, coupled with his natural inquisitiveness and thirst for creative solutions, to the problems of modern-day American politics. Seeking answers to questions many of us have been asking, he has focused his keen mind on researching these, and other big issues. He invites everyone to think about what America really needs.

    This bundle of books provides a deep dive into the foundational principles of optical physics, optics, and electromagnetic theory. Optics studies the behavior and properties of light, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and dispersion. It explores how light interacts with matter, enabling applications in everything from microscopes to lasers. Optical physics also includes the study of various optical devices, including lenses, mirrors, and optical fibers, which play essential roles in communication and imaging technologies. At the core of these studies lies the relationship between light waves and electromagnetic fields, explaining phenomena such as polarization and interference. 
    In addition to optics, this book delves into electromagnetic theory, which describes how electric and magnetic fields interact to propagate energy through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves, including light, radio waves, and X-rays, are essential to technologies like wireless communication, radar, and medical imaging. The integration of optics with electromagnetic theory allows for a deeper understanding of how light and other electromagnetic waves can be manipulated, harnessed, and utilized in cutting-edge applications. This text serves as a comprehensive guide to the behavior of light and fields, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects that shape modern science and technology.

    “Written with grace and emotional honesty, Sit, Stay, Heal will live with you long after the last page.”— John Grogan, bestselling author of Marley & Me 
    For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in her beloved canine patients. Then, at age fifty-one, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. 
    Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well is Dr. Renee’s unforgettable testament to the extraordinary healing nature of dogs. Every day in her veterinary practice, she bears witness to the undeniable bond between pets and their people. However, while we are busy teaching them to “sit” and “stay,” they have their own, more profound, lessons to impart. In Sit, Stay, Heal, we meet Cosmo, the golden retriever who arrives at Renee’s office just before his fourteenth family vacation to the beach; Daisy, the cocker spaniel, an emotional support dog for a special needs child; and Franny, the bloodhound, a police dog who wasn’t ready to retire from the force. Then there’s Dr. Renee’s own dog Newtie, who falls ill when she needs him most. 
    Our dogs are wise in ways humans are not. For Dr. Renee, it was her patients—those furry, four-legged, slobbering animals—who seemed to uniquely understand her difficult journey and who showed her the true power of positivity and unconditional love. Full of life lessons and healing metaphors, perfect dogs and their imperfect humans, Sit, Stay, Heal is a captivating, heartwarming story for dog lovers far and wide.

    Urban sociology is a dynamic field of study that explores the social, economic, and political aspects of urban spaces and how they shape individuals and communities. It draws from various theoretical foundations to understand the complexities of city life and the ways in which urban environments influence human behavior. Several foundational theories have played a pivotal role in shaping the field, each offering a distinct perspective on urban society. 
    One of the earliest and most influential theories is the Chicago School of Sociology, which emerged in the early 20th century. Scholars such as Robert Park and Ernest Burgess focused on the spatial distribution of social groups within cities, emphasizing the concept of the “ecology” of cities. They argued that cities, like natural ecosystems, are composed of different areas where social groups interact, often resulting in patterns of segregation and social conflict. This approach highlighted the dynamic relationship between individuals and their urban environment, with a particular focus on issues like migration, social disorganization, and the impact of urban growth. 
    Another key theoretical foundation is Karl Marx's analysis of urbanization. Marxism focuses on the role of capitalism in shaping urban spaces, viewing cities as sites of economic exploitation and class struggle. According to Marxist theory, the growth of cities is intrinsically linked to the development of capitalism, which creates divisions between the working class and the capitalist elite. This perspective emphasizes the role of urban spaces in perpetuating social inequalities, as the wealthy class controls resources and the working class is often marginalized or displaced.
