  Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
   
  At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
   
  They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
   
  In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
   
  On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.

  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.

  Mindkind The Cognitive Community

  Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve.
  What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind, that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind.
  Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness, natural, synthetic, or hybrid, within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence.
  Written in collaboration with AI systems, because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections t, at a human mind working alone would not have identified.
  This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be.
  As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are.

  Agriculture - Innovative...

  Agriculture stands at the heart of human civilization, sustaining populations, economies, and ecosystems around the globe. As the primary source of food and materials for countless industries, agriculture is fundamental to our daily lives. Yet, as demand for food and resources grows, traditional farming practices have come under scrutiny for their impact on land, water, and ecosystems. This situation has sparked a profound exploration into how agriculture can evolve to meet future needs without compromising environmental health or resource availability. 
  In response to these challenges, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a guiding framework. Rather than depleting resources, sustainable agriculture seeks to work in harmony with nature, fostering productive systems that can endure and even improve over time. Key principles include conserving soil health, managing water resources responsibly, reducing reliance on chemical inputs, and promoting biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture not only aims to enhance the resilience of farming systems but also to address some of the long-standing issues in conventional agriculture, from soil degradation to pest resistance. 
  Advancements in technology and innovative farming practices play an essential role in this shift. Techniques such as precision farming, vertical agriculture, and renewable energy integration are now helping farmers produce more with less environmental impact. By adopting these methods, we can begin to build a resilient food system capable of withstanding fluctuations in demand and environmental pressures.
