  How well do you know the ground beneath your feet? A primer for every Earth resident, by Harvard’s acclaimed geologist. 
  “A sublime chronicle of our planet." –Booklist, STARRED review 
  Odds are, where you’re standing was once cooking under a roiling sea of lava, crushed by a towering sheet of ice, rocked by a nearby meteor strike, or perhaps choked by poison gases, drowned beneath ocean, perched atop a mountain range, or roamed by fearsome monsters. Probably most or even all of the above.  
  The story of our home planet and the organisms spread across its surface is far more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, filled with enough plot twists to rival a bestselling thriller. But only recently have we begun to piece together the whole mystery into a coherent narrative. Drawing on his decades of field research and up-to-the-minute understanding of the latest science, renowned geologist Andrew H. Knoll delivers a rigorous yet accessible biography of Earth, charting our home planet's epic 4.6 billion-year story. Placing twenty first-century climate change in deep context, A Brief History of Earth is an indispensable look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Where did Spanish flu come from, and what can the possible sites of origin tell us today? This book looks at how Spanish flu changed the focus of scientific thought from eugenics to the creation of public health, and how it unfolded across each continent.In Budapest, a lone woman dies quietly on a bench in the late afternoon sun, while in South Africa, a group of men plunge to their death in the blackness of a mine shaft elevator. In London, a loving father takes his daughter's life while in Austria a man grieves for his unborn baby trapped inside his dead wife's body. In Western Samoa, entire villages are wiped out in a matter of days and in India, the river Ganges becomes clogged with bloated corpses and the pungent smell of disease . . . This is not some post-apocalyptic future, but the reality of Spanish flu, which claimed the lives of around 100 million people globally between 1918 and 1920. Often overshadowed by the tragedy of the Great War, this book walks us through the lives of some of the victims, discusses the science behind the disease, and asks, what will the next pandemic look like?

  From Pole to Pole - Roald...

  Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) was the most successful polar explorer of his era using sledges, dogs, ski and ships. He is mainly remembered for being the first man to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911. What is less often remembered is that he was also the first man to reach the North Pole on 12 May 1926 as the leader of the Amundsen- Ellsworth-Nobile expedition in the airship Norge. His involvement in aviation from 1909 to his death in 1928, has not been the subject of a detailed study until now.This book explores Amundsen's enthusiasm for flight from the moment he read about Bleriot's flight across the English Channel in an aeroplane on 25 July 1909. From that moment onwards he saw the potential of aircraft as vehicles to explore portions of the globe that remained unexplored in the first quarter of the 20th century. The man-lifting kites built by Einar Sem-Jacobsen took the life of his second in command, Ole Engelstad and were carried, but not used, during his 1910-1912 expedition to the South Pole. He saw aeroplanes flying in America and Germany in 1913 and in 1914 he was taught to fly by Sem-Jacobsen. He passed his flight test on a Farman Longhorn biplane on 1 June 1914 and in mid-1915 was issued with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (Norge) aeroplane pilot's certificate number one. He bought a Farman biplane to take with him on an expedition to the North Polar Sea but the outbreak of the Great War stopped the Expedition and Amundsen gave his Farman to the Norwegian government. After the war he acquired a Curtiss Oriole biplane and two Junkers F13's then in 1925 he embarked on a flight, which he barely survived, to the North Pole in two Dornier Wal flying boats. 1926 brought long delayed success when the Norge flew to the Pole and on to Alaska. On 18 June 1928 he and five companions took off from Tromso on a search and rescue flight for the missing airship Italia and were never seen again.

  The purpose of this book is to provide the essential concepts and terminology for the Physical Science of Consciousness.In this book, we provide the physical realities and processes for all aspects of thoughts, intelligence, and awareness. The reader will also develop practical skills, including developing his perception of objective reality, and modifying his subconscious operating beliefs.Scientists will benefit, as we are providing the foundation for the science of consciousness. Prior to this publication, the phrases of “consciousness” and “thought” have been extremely vague. Yet today we have an actual physical science for consciousness. We can now explain the structures and processes of consciousness, as actual physical entities and motions. Everything in this book is explained simply and gradually. The reader does not need any previous background in these topics. Topics explained in this book include the following:1. Consciousness Defined and Explained2. The Physical Reality of Consciousness Energies3. Information and Thoughts as physical realities4. Information Processing5. Self-Awareness6. The Voices in your Mind7. Messaging Systems using Consciousness Energies8. Perception versus Reality9. Effective Communication of Thoughts10. Intelligence Explained and Developed11. Filtering and Sorting Systems12. Memory Storage and Recall13. Programming the Mind14. Practical Applications of Consciousness Energies15. Accessing Realities Beyond the Senses16. Telepathy and Webs of Consciousness17. The Future of Humanity, with Advanced ConsciousnessAuthor Background: Masters Degree in Engineering, with first job manufacturing microchips.
