  In the following audiobook you will learn about biochemistry, metabolism, pharmacokinetics and side effects of cannabinoids. 
  Cannabis is a plant species of the Cannabaceae family, which includes three strains: Cannabis indica, Cannabis sativa and Cannabis ruderalis. Thanks to its features, cannabis has been used in several fields throughout history. The first reference of its therapeutic use was in China, in the 4.000 B.C. in the most ancient pharmaceutical guide known: the Pen Ts’ao Ching, attributed to the emperor Shen Nung, where it was used against menstrual disorders, goute, malaria, constipation and muscular weakness; later, indications were extended to wound healing, against infectious processes, clearance of pus, treatment of rheumatism, and to decrease fever and anxiety. 
  Pharmacokinetics and metabolism of cannabinoids involve absorption through different routes of administration and drug prescriptions, distribution of their compounds throughout the body, metabolism by the liver and extrahepatic tissues, and elimination in feces, urine, sweat, oral fluids and hair, and excretion by different body fluids. Pharmacokinetic processes are dynamic, can change over time and can be affected by the frequency and magnitude of drug exposure. 
  There is limited understanding of the expected side effects of cannabis use in a therapeutic context. Consequently, a significant amount of the data on this topic are derived from studies investigating the recreational use of cannabis, which implies caution in making conclusions regarding medicinal use. Specifically, the amount of cannabis used, methods of administration, and the existence of comorbidities differ significantly between recreational and medicinal cannabis-using populations. As a result, different side effects might be expected, but what has been documented to date refers to mild effects.

  Dr Tom Lonsdale’s original, pioneering work Raw Meaty Bones is the foremost book on the nutritional needs of pet dogs, cats and ferrets. First published in 2001—and of still greater importance today—the 14 chapters are packed with information vital for pet owners and pet professionals the world over.Lonsdale explains how industrial diets devastate the health of pets, how dirty tartar encrusted teeth, sore gums and stinky breath signal the downward spiral of ill-health, suffering and needless trips to the vet. By contrast he shows why dogs and cats crave the ripping, tearing and crunching on raw meaty bones—Nature’s miracle treatment and preventative. It’s the tough, chewy texture of the food that imparts the medicinal benefits. And providing your pet does enough ripping and tearing its teeth will be clean, gums healthy and breath sweet. The resultant benefits for the immune system, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys are enormous—one happy, contented pet.   Raw Meaty Bones makes no apology, it reveals a veterinary profession lost without a moral compass beholden to the multi-national pet food companies. It provides the foundations for a pet health revolution—with enormous cost savings for pet owners and benefits for the natural environment worth $billions.If you own a pet, or know someone who does, this book’s for you.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  For decades, renewable energy has been marketed as the ultimate solution to climate change, pollution, and our reliance on fossil fuels. Solar panels and wind turbines fill the landscape, promising a cleaner, greener future. Governments, corporations, and activists push the narrative that renewables are not only necessary but inevitable. Billions of dollars have been poured into the transition, with incentives and subsidies encouraging the mass adoption of so-called “clean energy.” On the surface, this movement appears to be a global success.  
    
  Yet, beneath the optimistic rhetoric lies a far more complex and inconvenient truth. While renewable energy offers undeniable benefits, it also comes with significant drawbacks that are rarely discussed. Solar farms consume vast amounts of land, wind turbines disrupt ecosystems, and hydropower alters entire river systems, sometimes with devastating consequences. The environmental cost of producing, maintaining, and disposing of renewable energy infrastructure is frequently overlooked. Furthermore, the idea that renewables alone can sustain modern society is built on a foundation of wishful thinking rather than reality.  
    
  One of the biggest challenges facing renewables is reliability. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. Unlike fossil fuels, which provide a constant and controllable energy supply, renewables fluctuate unpredictably. This intermittency creates enormous challenges for electrical grids, often requiring backup from coal, natural gas, or nuclear power. Energy storage technology, such as batteries, is still far from capable of bridging this gap at the scale necessary. The result is an energy system that is fragile, expensive, and, in some cases, even more dependent on fossil fuels than before.

  Humanoid Robots & Drones: How...

  “Humanoid Robots & Drones: How the Age of Smart Machines Will Revolutionize Our World” is a 24‑lecture audio expedition for anyone who likes their wonder with measurements. We chase robots, humanoids, and drones through restaurants, farms, warehouses, hospitals, disaster scenes, stadiums, and city skies—treating each as a solvable puzzle. How does a drone hold position in wind? Why does a humanoid’s shape matter for doors and stairs? When does a non‑humanoid robot beat a humanoid? More often than you’d guess.
   
  You’ll learn the working grammar of the field: motors, cameras, lidar, batteries, and the ugly truth about friction, glare, and radio noise. You’ll see how a drone’s navigation, thermal views, and geofences turn into defect lists, not pretty video; how warehouse robots schedule intersections; why “stop distance” and “payload versus endurance” make or break a plan; and how soft‑skinned humanoids handle the “last ten centimeters” that buildings were designed for human hands. We translate regulation and risk into simple playbooks you can actually use—what the rules permit, what insurers demand, and what keeps neighbors calm.
   
  Expect case studies with receipts: drone light shows that replace fireworks with quiet pixels; roof and bridge inspections before breakfast; farm rigs that spray where plants actually are; hospital runners and delivery bots that save steps and shoulders; telepresence poles and companion robots that help real people on real Tuesdays. The tone is sharp, funny, and unromantic: we puncture hype, celebrate craft, and name failure modes out loud.
   
  By the end, you’ll be able to read a spec sheet like a mechanic, design a credible first deployment, and argue—politely but mercilessly—about the next 10, 25, and 50 years. If you want an operator’s guide to the robots, humanoids, and drones that already work (and the ones that almost do), buckle in. The robots are clocked in, the drones are charged, and class is wheels‑up.
