HEMP: Environmental benefits of...

Pharmacology University

Did you know that hemp could be an excellent solution to mitigate environmental problems on our planet? 
Hemp, whose scientific name is Cannabis sativa, was named in 1753 by the Swedish scientist, naturalist, botanist and zoologist Charles Linnaeus; it is an herbaceous plant of the genus Cannabis, a member of the Cannabaceae family known for over 6500 years, with great economic, agricultural, industrial, cultural and medical importance. It originated in Asia, has been used throughout history in the production of fibers, oils and its application in pottery shards, cordage and paper making. In Ancient Egypt, the pharaohs used hemp to obtain their fabrics, an example of this was a piece unearthed from the tomb of the pharaoh Alchanaten dating from 1200 BC. 
Hemp is considered a very valuable crop with particular agronomic characteristics that provide suitable raw materials for multiple potential applications. It should be noted that hemp is considered a low-cost plant for its production, it is ecological and sustainable thanks to the fact that its production does not generate large impacts on the environment and contributes with almost 20,000 products that are biodegradable and do not take time to decompose naturally without generating toxicity in the environment; its uses make it very versatile for human and environmental needs. 
In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of hemp, uses of the plant, production characteristics and requirements, economic advantages, environmental benefits and new applications of hemp such as hempcrete. 
If you are interested in knowing more about the incredible hemp we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

The Front-Line Leader - Building...

Chris Van Gorder

As President and CEO at Scripps Health, one of Americas  most prestigious health systems, Chris Van Gorder has presided over  a dramatic turnaround, catapulting Scripps from near bankruptcy to  a dominant market position. While hospitals and health systems  nationwide have laid people off or are closing their doors, Scripps  is financially healthy, has added almost 5,000 employees, and has  developed a reputation as a marquee employer, recognized year after  year by Fortune Magazine, Working Mother, the AARP,  and othersas a Best Places to Work. What are the  secrets to this remarkable story, and what can other leaders and  businesses learn from Van Gorders success as a  leader?  Van Gorder traces his track record to his background as a  California police officer, and The Frontline  Leader shares the leadership techniques learned from his  service, grounded in the philosophy of responsibility, honesty, and  public service learned as a member of the force. Police work is  about protecting the community, making it a better place, educating  citizens, developing warm and caring relationships, and ultimately  doing the right thing, not the convenient thing, so as to give  citizens someone to look up to and believe in. Businesses  who follow these same principles lay the groundwork for  lasting sucecss.     As much as companies talk about accountability and spend millions  on corporate social responsibility programs, managers  seldom understand what practical steps to take for an ethic of  service that makes accountability meaningful. The  Frontline Leader exposes readers to specific tactics and  implementation steps they can use starting today to take  responsibility, inspire others, achieve breakout results for their  organization and move up into higher positions. By understanding  and deploying these steps, readers learn that cultivating a deep  personal practice of accountability isnt just the right  thing to do but also the most effective and profitable path a  leader can take. They understand that daily practices that seem  unrelated to the running of organizations can in fact confer  surprising business advantage. Armed with these techniques, The  Frontline Leader will help anyone become a better leader.

Nora Castro

How women can speak up and stand out in a business world built for men. 
A Top Ten performer at a previous financial advisory services firm, Nora Castro was invited to meet with the senior executive team at her new company. In a boardroom where Castro was the only female in attendance, the president asked for big ideas to save the firm from their shrinking footprint in the industry. Castro’s hand shot up. “I have the answer!” When she was ignored, she responded in a loud voice, “What percentage of executives in our firm are women?” Without acknowledging her, the president called an end to the meeting and the men walked out, leaving Castro sitting alone. 
This is the story of how one woman fought her way to the top in a cutthroat industry built and run by men. Through vivid career anecdotes and a little tough love, Castro shows women everywhere—regardless of industry—how to follow her up the ladder and open the door to their own success.

Power Cues - The Subtle Science...

Nick Morgan

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim—but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next—and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound.In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others—subtle gestures, sounds, and signals—that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you.This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.
