    Dark forces, often referred to as unseen energies, are the invisible yet powerful forces that can influence our lives, environments, and even the very fabric of the universe. These forces have been a part of human consciousness for centuries, often portrayed in folklore, religion, and mythology. Despite their mysterious nature, dark forces are believed to be an integral aspect of the universe’s energy system. Understanding these forces is not just about acknowledging their existence but also comprehending their role in shaping our physical and psychological experiences. 
    The concept of dark forces can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where they were often associated with spirits, deities, or unseen powers that governed the natural world. In many cultures, these forces were believed to have both a destructive and protective power, often associated with night, the unknown, or the unconscious. Over time, these interpretations evolved, but the central idea remained the same: dark forces were unseen, mysterious, and influential. 
    In modern times, dark forces are understood through the lens of energy dynamics. The idea that everything in the universe is made up of energy is now widely accepted in scientific circles. This energy, however, is not always visible or detectable through conventional means. It is this unseen aspect of energy that gives rise to the concept of dark forces. These forces are believed to operate in the background, influencing our environments and experiences in ways we may not immediately perceive.

    Do you think you know everything about cannabis? Take this invitation to dive through time, where you’ll learn the history of cannabis from its origin. 
    This story introduces us on a mysterious and millennial journey in man's life from its beginning, who in his fight against diseases and death has made use of the beneficial effects of the plants, among which, without fail, the cannabis plant. In addition, due to its versatility, this plant has been used in industrial processes such as the elaboration of textile fibers, paper and even ropes. 
    The first botanical classification of the plant was made in 1753, by the Swedish botanist Carl Von Linneo, who classified and described the plant as “Cannabis Sativa L”. Since then, research has not stopped; including nowadays great advances in the heath’s area, with novel and controlled clinical trials, presentations and new applications for the relief of some pathologies or associated symptoms, where traditional drugs have failed. 
    Cannabis is currently submitted in an extensive regulation process that includes taking decisions about the risk/benefit balance, many countries have considered cannabis as a possible treatment for fighting and/or stopping certain pathological mechanisms of diseases and/or as a contributor in improving the efficiency and safety of other drugs. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of cannabis, evolution of medical cannabis in the middle and contemporary ages, scientific and medical evidence of medical cannabis, the discovery of endocannabinoid system, its receptor and all the homeostatic-physiological functions, therapeutic uses, the beginning of legalization and legal regulation according to the country. 
    If you’re interested in learning more about the extraordinary history of medical cannabis, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

    Shepherd’s Sight - A Farming Life

    A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
    		 
    For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
    		 
    Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
    		 
    With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
