  Until recently, one idea has dominated research in treating Alzheimer’s disease: the amyloid hypothesis. Those therapies have repeatedly fallen short, and in this audiobook we take a look at where that hypothesis stands today. We examine recent research into the spectrum of disease causes, including inflammation and immune dysfunction; cutting-edge treatments, including deep-brain stimulation and magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound; as well as lifestyle interventions that can help protect from disease.

  Methuselah's Zoo - What Nature...

  Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
   
   
   
  Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
   
   
   
  Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?

  A New Way to Think About God 
  For centuries, people have struggled to bring together faith and science. Religion taught one way. Science often taught another. Quantum God: At the Center of Reality invites you to see both through fresh eyes. This audiobook explores the idea that God is not far away or divided from science, but instead is the very center of all reality. 
  From Tradition to New Ideas 
  Part One explains traditional views of God and why religion and science have often seemed in conflict. It then introduces a new perspective, one that does not force you to choose between faith and facts, but instead shows how they can work together. 
  The Quantum God Revealed 
  Part Two introduces the Quantum God, described as a unified force that holds everything together. You will hear about evidence for this reality and discover how the Quantum God can be seen even in worship and spiritual practice. The goal is to show that God’s presence is not limited to one place but is active everywhere, in all things. 
  Practical Ways to Experience the Quantum God 
  In Part Three, you will learn how this understanding changes daily life. Topics include how prayer and faith connect with quantum healing, how the Quantum God works for the greater good, and how lives intersect in a reality where everything is linked. You will also discover how to see the Quantum God at work in ordinary moments. 
  God in the Modern World 
  Part Four brings the message into today’s world. It explains how practicing faith with an awareness of the Quantum God can be a living religious practice. It explores the bridge between faith, quantum physics, and even artificial intelligence. It connects this vision with scripture, humanity, and the vast quantum universe itself. 
  Why You Will Love this Book 
  Quantum God is for seekers who want answers that make sense in both science and faith. It offers clarity, hope, and a practical path to live with purpose in a connected universe.

  In the Dark - New Ways to Avoid...

  Do you spend the majority of your day in front of a laptop, in artificial light? Then drive home, chatting on your Bluetooth before heating up your dinner in the microwave? Then you “relax” with your iPad, glancing at your flat screen TV that’s downloading the latest movie, before setting the alarm on your phone and sleeping with it next to your head, the smart meter buzzing away in the background? 
  Here’s another question: How do you feel? Any headaches or ringing in the ears? Lack of energy? Putting on weight? Annoying little allergies? Ever wondered if there’s a connection? 
  Author and environmental scientist Jason Bawden-Smith believes that, with regard to the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world, we are currently living in the dark. 
  There’s no doubt technology serves great function in this day and age, and will continue to do so. In The Dark simply brings stronger awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures that people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.

  Cloud computing represents a paradigm shift in how organizations, individuals, and developers use technology. Rather than owning and maintaining physical servers or computing infrastructure, users can now access computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and more on-demand over the internet from cloud providers. 
  This in-depth explanation explores the origins, models, architecture, components, benefits, challenges, use cases, and future of cloud computing. Covering essential service models like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), it delves into deployment models (public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud), major cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), security concerns, and practical applications across industries.

  The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

  For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
   
   
   
  Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
   
   
   
  From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.
