  In this audio listening experience, Sara Dylan will be leading you gently into a quiet meditation while listening to gentle rainfall. You are sheltering from the rain and looking about as the rain falls. 
  You can choose what you see in your mind’s eye; you can look out at the rain as it falls or past the rain into the landscape; you can turn your head and look around and along the street or road. 
  "Rain is predictable, calming, stable, and non-threatening," says Dr Shelby Harris, a behavioural sleep-medicine specialist. According to Harris, steady rainfall noises help lull the brain into falling asleep, block outside noises, and frequently induce a more meditative state that brings on relaxation. 
  Gentle meditative music has been added to enhance your experience. 
   
  This deep sleep meditation has been designed as a sitting meditation to be used at any time of the day, but it works just as well when you are lying down. 
  Enjoy

  pbiWill eating insects change the world for the better?​/i/b/p
  pMeet the beetles: there are millions and millions of them and many fewer of the rest of us — mammals, birds, and reptiles. Since before recorded history, humans have eaten insects. While many get squeamish at the idea, entomophagy — people eating insects — is a possible way to ensure a sustainable and secure food supply for the eight billion of us on the planet./p
  pOnce seen as the great enemy of human civilization, destroying our crops and spreading plagues, we now see insects as marvellous pollinators of our food crops and a potential source of commercial food supply. From upscale restaurants where black ants garnish raw salmon to grubs as pub snacks in Paris and Tokyo, from backyard cricket farming to high-tech businesses, iEat the Beetles!/i weaves these cultural, ecological, and evolutionary narratives to provide an accessible and humorous exploration of entomophagy./p

  Antibiotics: Are they curing us or killing us?
  
  'Without urgent, co-ordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill.' Dr Keiji Fukuda, World Health Organization
  
  For anyone reeling from this recent, shocking statement from WHO, Dr John McKenna is here to help. There is no doubt that there is a massive overuse of antibiotics. This book is for anyone who wants to do something about it.
  
  The senseless over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics has rendered them almost useless, posing a catastrophic threat to our health. Superbugs are making hospitals increasingly dangerous places to seek help and experts predict we will soon regress to a time when simple infections and medical procedures threaten our lives once again.
  
  Dr McKenna, a retired medical doctor who has been practising natural medicine for over 25 years with astonishing results, examines the issues at play. He reveals the truth about the pills your doctor prescribes you and details the often unknown side effects they can have.
  
  ANTI-biotics has all the information you need to take your health into your own hands. You will learn how to recognise when antibiotics are hindering you instead of helping you, and discover natural alternatives to restore your health and strengthen your immune system.
  
  Through a number of case histories, Dr McKenna shows the effects of MRSA, C. Difficile, TB, E. Coli and other infections that have developed antibiotic resistance. He explains, in layman's terms, the science of how different antibiotics affect different parts of the immune system.
  
  His advice will help you take control of your health with practical tips to boost your immunity and to avoid misusing antibiotics.

  NASA’s Space Race Programs: The...

  Charles River Editors

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
  The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade. Landing on the Moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government’s urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). In 1957, at a time when people were concerned about communism and nuclear war, many Americans were dismayed by news that the Soviet Union was successfully launching satellites into orbit. 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions. Of course, by the time it was all done, Americans sure felt the cost was worth it as they watched the first live shots of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. As he left his first footprint on the Moon, Armstrong transmitted one of the 20th century’s most famous phrases: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
