  In this book, the basic concepts you need to achieve success and a significant presence for your business on the internet are all covered and explained in a way that can be digested and applied the first time you listen to it. 
  The chapter on “UX Basics” will just give you a rundown on what to expect in the rest of the book and a few important things to know before you do much else. It works as an introductory chapter. 
  Chapter 2, “Guiding the User Through Your Site,” covers basic topics to make sure that your site is usable and can effectively encourage your site’s visitors to make a purchase or follow through on each visit. 
  The third chapter, “Page Climates,” is a simple concept, but the topic holds a lot of nuances. This chapter is a must-listen if you’re developing a blogging site. 
  The “Early Page Development” chapter (four) is just a basic rundown for establishing the framework of your site. It mostly covers the method of “sketching out” pages but also gives a few descriptions of how you can turn your sketches into functional sites. 
  Chapter 5 is an interesting chapter. The chapter covers the different ways to receive feedback on your site so that you know what to fix. 
  “Making Your Site Known” is the sixth and final chapter. This part covers some of the most important and complicated information in the book. The first thing to be discussed is SEO or Search Engine Optimization. 
  Finally, the book wraps up with a conclusion covering a few extra things that the chapters didn’t quite cover; including hiring freelancers to develop the site for you and the different kinds of programming that are behind every website. 
  This book’s comprehensive guidance is sure to help you reach the industry standard as quick as you can!

  Egg - A Dozen Ovatures

  An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. 
  The egg is a paradox―both alive and not alive―and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. 
  From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich. 
  It has starred in global dishes from the Korean comfort food ttukbaegi gyeranjjim to the less regaled yet iconic soft-boiled egg. Stark writes a biography of French-born chef Jacques Pépin through his egg creations, and weaves in her personal experiences, like attempting to make the perfect omelet or trying her hand at pysanky―the Ukrainian art of egg decoration. She also explores her fraught relationship to the eggs in her body due to a familial link to cancer, and shares her delight in becoming a mother. 
  Filled with colorful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is playful, informative, and guarantees that you’ll never take this delicate ovoid for granted again.

  Hemorrhoids - Causes Symptoms...

  Hemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the lower rectum or anus. While they are a common medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide, they often remain a taboo topic, shrouded in discomfort and embarrassment. For many, the symptoms of hemorrhoids—ranging from itching and pain to bleeding—can significantly disrupt daily activities and overall well-being. Yet, despite their prevalence, hemorrhoids are frequently misunderstood, and many sufferers avoid seeking treatment due to stigma or misinformation.  
  Understanding hemorrhoids is the first step toward effective management and prevention. This condition develops from a variety of causes, including dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and even genetic predisposition. Factors such as chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, or straining during bowel movements can exacerbate the problem. For pregnant individuals, hormonal changes and increased abdominal pressure can also contribute to the development of hemorrhoids. While the physical discomfort is often the most immediate concern, the emotional toll of dealing with hemorrhoids should not be overlooked. 
  This book aims to demystify hemorrhoids by providing a thorough yet approachable guide to understanding their causes, symptoms, and treatments. At its core, this book emphasizes the importance of breaking the cycle of shame and misinformation that often surrounds this condition. By fostering awareness and encouraging proactive care, we hope to empower readers to take control of their health.

  Called By The Wild - The Dogs...

  The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
  Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
  Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
  When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.
