    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Our teeth should last a lifetime. For many Americans this is not the case despite the world's best technology and treatment. Most dentists emphasize treatment over prevention. Daily oral hygiene is talked about but not taught to dental students or patients. Something is very wrong when regular patients with common gingivitis are referred to a periodontal specialist. It is time for dentists, patients and policy makers to be given an insider's look on the importance of oral hygiene habits and its effect on your dental and general health. 
A folksy and engaging testimony to a great man and the dental profession to which he has devoted his life. Dr. Saroyan has weaved a story of his own experiences in dentistry with the basics of a dental education for the layperson emphasizing common sense prevention. As an advocate for optimum oral health, Dr. Saroyan looks at the controversies surrounding fluoridation and offers suggestions for a compromise. His insights into and opinions of dentistry and dental profession politics are deep and positions are always taken with the public’s health in mind. A great read for those who are in the profession and those who are interested in what goes on in their mouths. 
This book is worthwhile reading for dental patients, aspiring dental students, and dental professionals. Doctor Saroyan is an exemplar of continued lifelong learning through serving the faculty of a dental school with his emphasis on prevention. Dr. Saroyan pulls no punches by revealing his frank and strong opinions in which dental public health can be improved by professional organized efforts.

    Taking Stock - A Year Among Cows

    Since highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville has been fascinated by cows. 
 
So at the age of 61, with no farming experience, he signed on as a part- time labourer on a beef cattle farm to tell their side of the story. The result is this lyrical and evocative book. 
 
For 10,000 years, cow and human lives have been intertwined. Cattle have existed alongside us, fed and shod us, quenched our thirst, and provided a thousand other tiny services, and yet most of us know little about them. We are also blissfully unaware of the de-natured lives we often ask them to lead. 
 
Part history, part adventure and part unsentimental manifesto for how we should treat cows in the 21st century, Taking Stock asks us to think carefully about what we eat, and to let nature back into food production.

    Computer Architecture and Organization is a foundational subject in computer science and engineering that explores the internal structure and functioning of computer systems. It encompasses the design principles of hardware components, how these components interact, and the organizational methods used to optimize performance, efficiency, and functionality. This detailed document explores the critical concepts of computer architecture and organization, from basic logic gates to complex processor pipelines. Topics include the von Neumann model, instruction set architecture (ISA), CPU organization, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, control units, pipelining, RISC vs CISC, parallelism, and modern trends like multi-core systems, GPU architectures, and quantum computing potentials. The document also discusses the distinctions between architecture (the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure) and organization (the realization and implementation of architecture), illustrating their interdependence.
