  The study of pharmacology has a rich and complex history that dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations relied on plants, minerals, and animal-derived substances to treat various ailments, laying the foundation for modern drug development. The evolution of pharmacology is a testament to human ingenuity and the ongoing quest for medical advancement. 
  In early human societies, medicine was largely based on trial and error. Traditional healers and shamans experimented with natural substances to alleviate pain, heal wounds, and cure diseases. Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek civilizations made significant contributions to early pharmacology by documenting medicinal plants and their effects. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical text from around 1550 BCE, provides one of the earliest records of pharmacological knowledge, listing hundreds of remedies derived from herbs and minerals. Similarly, the works of Hippocrates and Dioscorides in ancient Greece emphasized the importance of observation and classification in medicine. 
  The transition from natural remedies to synthesized drugs gained momentum during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. With the development of the scientific method, researchers began isolating active compounds from plants and studying their effects in controlled settings. The 19th century saw groundbreaking discoveries, such as the isolation of morphine from opium and the synthesis of aspirin. These advancements paved the way for the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the development of more effective and standardized treatments.

And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age.

  Sex Drugs and Sea Slime - The...

  Ellen Prager

  When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean, with its rolling waves and vast expanse, can seem calm, even serene. But hidden beneath the sea’s waves are a staggering abundance and variety of active creatures, engaged in the never-ending struggles of life—to reproduce, to eat, and to avoid being eaten. With Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime, marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce an astonishing cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures that make the salty depths their home. From the tiny but voracious arrow worms whose rapacious ways may lead to death by overeating, to the lobsters that battle rivals or seduce mates with their urine, to the sea’s masters of disguise, the octopuses, Prager not only brings to life the ocean’s strange creatures, but also reveals the ways they interact as predators, prey, or potential mates. And while these animals make for some jaw-dropping stories—witness the sea cucumber, which ejects its own intestines to confuse predators, or the hagfish that ties itself into a knot to keep from suffocating in its own slime—there’s far more to Prager’s account than her ever-entertaining anecdotes: again and again, she illustrates the crucial connections between life in the ocean and humankind, in everything from our food supply to our economy, and in drug discovery, biomedical research, and popular culture. Written with a diver’s love of the ocean, a novelist’s skill at storytelling, and a scientist’s deep knowledge, Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime enchants as it educates, enthralling us with the wealth of life in the sea—and reminding us of the need to protect it.

  What if I told you there was a simple process backed by science which you can do in as little as 20 minutes a day which will lower your stress levels, improve your decision-making skills and relieve your anxiety?  
    
  This Process is Meditation. 
    
  Your audio book is about 3 hours long. I will be presenting the basics of several well-known and trusted meditation practices in overview form. Together we will also be doing some basic exercises. They are similar to one another, but they are not identical. My intention is you get a feeling of the simplicity of them, and how natural it is for you to do the things involved in them. Our body always tell us what is best for us; we are here to retrain ourselves to listen to it. If that is all we learn from this audiobook, then we have learned a great deal. Meditation is not a philosophy; it is a practice. With meditation you're not trying to turn off your thoughts or to expunge feelings. You learn to observe them without judgment. And ultimately to better understand them. With practice, meditation will bring you to the realization you are not your thoughts or feelings; meditation frees you if you've been chained by your thoughts. By simply connecting with and being more aware of yourself, you develop the amazing ability to handle stress, improve your health and increase your intellect.
