  Paleoclimatology is the study of past climates, offering insights into how Earth's climate system has changed over millions of years. By examining ancient climate patterns, scientists can better understand the mechanisms driving climate change and apply this knowledge to modern and future climate predictions. Unlike modern meteorology, which focuses on short-term weather patterns, paleoclimatology reconstructs long-term climate trends using indirect evidence from natural records. 
  One of the fundamental reasons for studying past climates is to identify natural climate variability and distinguish it from human-induced changes. The Earth's climate has undergone significant shifts, from ice ages to warm interglacial periods, often driven by factors such as variations in solar radiation, volcanic activity, and changes in ocean currents. Understanding these past fluctuations helps scientists assess current climate trends in a broader historical context. 
  Reconstructing ancient climates relies on multiple sources of evidence, known as climate proxies. These proxies include ice cores, tree rings, sediment deposits, and fossilized remains, each providing valuable data about past temperatures, atmospheric composition, and precipitation patterns. Ice cores, for example, contain trapped air bubbles that reveal historical levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Tree rings can indicate annual climate variations, with thicker rings often signifying favorable growing conditions and thinner rings reflecting harsher climates. Sediment layers from oceans and lakes provide further clues about past environmental conditions, preserving pollen, microorganisms, and mineral compositions that reflect climate changes over thousands or even millions of years.

  The Great Guilt that causes the...

  As biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview (which psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen described as “the most important interview of all time”), while we humans lacked the explanation for our 2-million-year corrupted human condition we had no choice but to deny that our distant ape ancestors lived in a state of cooperative and loving innocence. But with the good reason for our corrupted condition now finally found, our species’ original state of innocence can at last be admitted — and what that honesty finally allows us to see is the immense guilt and shame we humans have been carrying for corrupting our original instinctive self or soul. While it's all-relieving to have this ‘Great Burden of Guilt’ finally lifted, having it suddenly revealed is so exposing that the mind of many will initially refuse to take in or ‘hear’ what's being talked about. It will suffer from a ‘Deaf Effect’, which is what this booklet and its video presentation is all about overcoming.

  The ADHD Consultation Hour ADHD...

  The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

  Curious Species - How Animals...

  Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
   
   
    
  In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.
