  In the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, a period marked by profound transformation and discovery, the interplay between hormones and brain development forms the cornerstone of human growth. "From Hormones to Neurons: Understanding Puberty's Role in Adolescent Brain Evolution And The Role of Technology" delves into the intricate biological processes that shape the adolescent mind and explores how modern technology influences this critical stage of life. This book aims to unravel the complexities of puberty, illustrating how hormonal changes trigger a cascade of neural developments that underpin emotional, cognitive, and social maturation. 
  Physical changes and significant brain structure and function reconfigurations mark the journey from childhood to adulthood. Moreover, in an era where technology permeates every aspect of life, understanding its role in adolescent development is more critical than ever. This book addresses how digital engagement — from social media and video games to educational platforms — interacts with the brain's evolving landscape. The dual influence of biology and technology presents a unique framework for comprehending the contemporary adolescent experience.

  A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present 
   
   
    
  The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community.  Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism." 
   
   
   
  Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.

  Ancient Rome’s Provinces: The...

  It can be argued that Roman culture was, indeed, Graeco-Roman rather than Roman. It was the Greek language that served as the lingua franca in the Eastern Empire and much of the west including Italy. Many Greek intellectuals, including Galen, were based in Rome and the Roman aristocracy more and more came to embrace Greek literature and philosophy. Homer’s epics inspired Virgil’s Aeneid and Seneca wrote in Greek. Earlier, Scipio Africanus (236 – 183 B.C.), the epitome of the Roman martial hero, studied Greek philosophy and regarded Greek culture as the benchmark against which all others had to be judged. The Roman poet and philosopher Horace studied in Athens during the Principate and, in common with many of his class, saw that city as the intellectual centre of the world. 
  In the minds of most people today, Gaul equates to modern France. However, the vast geographical area that Caesar named Gaul, in fact, was made up of a number of very distinct regions and covered, in addition to modern-day France, Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy. The Romans called the northern area of the Italian peninsula, which is now part of modern Italy, Cisalpine Gaul, or Gaul on this side of the Alps. Early Romans did not even consider this region as part of Italy and repeated incursions southwards, and the sacking of Rome itself in 390 B.C., resulted in Rome taking full control of the area in 221 B.C. and thoroughly Romanizing it to the extent that even the Celtic language totally disappeared and was replaced by Latin. The region was initially a province but by the beginning of the 1st century B.C., it had become fully integrated into the Roman heartland and became an administrative region of Italy rather than a province.

  The Dark Side of Mankind

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
   
  It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
   
  The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. 
   
  Welcome to the Dark Side.
