  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Fractal Mind – How Ancient Wisdom Predicted Modern Science is a journey across time, thought, and imagination - exploring how humanity’s oldest myths, sacred symbols, and intuitive insights foreshadowed the very discoveries of modern science. 
  From the spiralling patterns of galaxies to the branching of rivers, trees, and neural networks, the universe is woven with fractal geometry - and the ancients seemed to know it. This audiobook uncovers how ancient cultures mirrored these cosmic patterns in story, art, ritual, and language, offering a wisdom that modern physics, biology, and information theory are only beginning to confirm. 
  Blending mythology, science, and philosophy, each chapter reveals hidden connections: how sacred geometry underlies life’s design, how cycles of time shape memory and prophecy, how dreams and symbols reflect the recursive patterns of reality, and how consciousness itself may be a living fractal of the cosmos. 
  This is not only a book about science and spirit - it is a mirror of the timeless human quest to understand our place in the infinite. The Fractal Mind invites listeners into a space where myth and mathematics meet, where story and science entwine, and where the deepest truths of nature resound with wonder. 
  If you have ever felt that the wisdom of the past holds keys to the mysteries of the future, this audiobook is for you.

  Why this holiday season is a great time to rethink the traditional turkey feast 
   
   
   
  A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables—for turkeys, people, and the planet—by liberating ourselves from the traditional turkey feast. In its place, he encourages us to consider trying a vegetarian alternative—or just serving the side dishes that many people already enjoy far more than turkey. Consider the Turkey will make you reconsider what you serve for your next holiday meal—or even tomorrow's dinner.
