  Velociraptor The: The History of...

  The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, the movie made certain kinds of dinosaurs instantly recognizable, even if associated with the wrong era. 
  	Thanks to the movie, there has been some unwitting confusion over the identity of the Velociraptor, and this confusion was due in large part to the fact the name sounds far more scary than the creature to which the name originally belonged. Moreover, the creature to which the label was applied in the novel and movie was actually a distant cousin named Deinonychus, but as the story goes, the author, Michael Crichton, thought “Velociraptor” sounded “more dramatic.” The actual Velociraptor lived not in the badlands of North America, but in the badlands of central-eastern Asia, and it was not nearly as intimidating as Deinonychus. In fact, the main species of genus Velociraptor - Velociraptor mongoliensis - was no bigger than a turkey. Thus, in a very real sense, the Velociraptor has taken on a larger-than-life reputation.

  Unrepeatable Beauty is a ceremonial invitation to recalibrate how we understand health, empowerment, and the female body. 
  It dismantles the emotional architecture behind breast cancer— 
  not through confrontation, but through clarity. 
  This edition names what medicine often misses: 
  • That breasts are not burden baskets 
  • That emotional labor is not invisible 
  • That sovereignty is not a side effect 
  Through poetic diagnostics, mythic insight, and scroll-grade witnessing, Lena Elisabet invites readers to explore: 
  • The biology of belief and the science of emotional containment 
  • The cultural script of survival, gratitude, and reconstruction 
  • The financial architecture of the breast cancer industry 
  • The possibility that joy, boundaries, and inner radiance may prevent disease before it begins 
  This is not a guide to surviving. 
  It’s a guide to not collapsing in the first place. 
  Can female empowerment and sovereignty cure breast cancer before it develops? 
  This book doesn’t answer the question. 
  It dignifies it.

  Every day your body must solve hundreds of hard engineering problems simultaneously, or else you’ll die. Your body enables you to see and hear. It heals you from injuries and diseases. It maintains your temperature. It makes it possible for you to wield a sledgehammer during the day and play piano sonatas at night. Every minute your body choreographs a host of complex systems that are required for you to live. 
  Join engineer Steve Laufmann and physician Howard Glicksman as they take you on an incredible journey exploring some of your body’s greatest marvels, including how your hearing and vision work, how you coordinate your movements, and — perhaps the greatest miracle of them all — how you developed from a single cell at conception. Along the way, you will discover compelling evidence that our bodies are the handiwork of a master designer and engineer.

  Though adult cognitive development has previously been thought to be unyielding and static, Brain Weaver offers new hope and empowerment to remain mentally vibrant for a lifetime. 
   
   
   
  Doctors Newberg and Monti's team at Thomas Jefferson University's Marcus Institute of Integrative Health are at the forefront of research in brain functioning and applications of the most advanced understanding in real-world strategies to expand options for optimizing our complex neurophysiology. 
   
   
   
  Their findings show that optimal brain health is achievable by successfully weaving together a tapestry of our bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions. Brain Weaver also coincides with a decades-long surge in the public's interest in whole-person treatments—body, mind, and spirit evidence-based integrative therapies that include pharmaceuticals, electromagnetics, nutrition, and meditation. Brain Weaver's timeliness is all the more important now to address a new paradigm for post-pandemic wellness that emphasizes our individual and collective responsibility for proactive healthcare.

  Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

  Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
   
   
   
  In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
