  The first botanical classification of the plant was made in 1753, by the Swedish botanist Carl Von Linneo, who classified and described the plant as “Cannabis Sativa L”. Since then, research has not stopped; including nowadays great advances in the heath’s area, with novel and controlled clinical trials, presentations and new applications for the relief of some pathologies or associated symptoms, where traditional drugs have failed. 
  Cannabis is currently submitted in an extensive regulation process that includes taking decisions about the risk/benefit balance, many countries have considered cannabis as a possible treatment for fighting and/or stopping certain pathological mechanisms of diseases and/or as a contributor in improving the efficiency and safety of other drugs. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of cannabis, evolution of medical cannabis in the middle and contemporary ages, scientific and medical evidence of medical cannabis, the discovery of endocannabinoid system, its receptor and all the homeostatic-physiological functions, therapeutic uses, the beginning of legalization and legal regulation according to the country.

  Consciousness - How Our Brains...

  What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? 
   
  Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? 
   
  In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. 
   
  This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

  Red Leviathan - The Secret...

  The Soviet Union killed over six hundred thousand whales in the twentieth century, many of them illegally and secretly. That catch helped bring many whale species to near extinction by the 1970s, and the impacts of this loss of life still ripple through today’s oceans. In this new account, based on formerly secret Soviet archives and interviews with ex-whalers, environmental historian Ryan Tucker Jones offers a complete history of the role the Soviet Union played in the whales' destruction. 
   
   
   
  As other countries—especially the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Norway—expanded their pursuit of whales to all corners of the globe, Stalin determined that the Soviet Union needed to join the hunt. Cold War intrigue encouraged this destruction, but, as Jones shows, there is a more complex history behind this tragic Soviet experiment. Jones compellingly describes the ultimate scientific irony: today's cetacean studies benefited from Soviet whaling, as Russian scientists on whaling vessels made key breakthroughs in understanding whale natural history and behavior. 
   
   
   
  Red Leviathan reveals how the Soviet public began turning against their country's whaling industry, working in parallel with Western environmental organizations like Greenpeace to help end industrial whaling—not long before the world's whales might have disappeared altogether.

  Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates various scientific disciplines to study the natural world and the impact of human activities on it. This branch of science explores the complex interactions between living organisms, their physical surroundings, and the broader ecosystems they form. The primary goal of environmental science is to understand how natural systems function, identify environmental problems, and develop strategies for addressing these issues. 
    
  At its core, environmental science seeks to answer fundamental questions about the earth's resources, how they are used, and how human actions influence the balance of ecosystems. It draws from biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of the environment. For example, ecology, the study of living organisms and their relationships to each other and their surroundings, is a central component of environmental science. By examining the dynamics of ecosystems, scientists can assess the health of the environment and predict the effects of human activities such as urbanization, deforestation, and pollution. 
  One of the primary focuses of environmental science is resource management. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for natural resources such as water, energy, and food increases. Environmental scientists work to ensure that these resources are used sustainably, balancing the needs of current populations with the preservation of resources for future generations. This includes studying renewable resources, such as solar and wind energy, and nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels, to understand their availability and impact on the environment.
