  We broke our new series on learning Farsi down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Farsi.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Farsi decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Farsi speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Farsi. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Farsi at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Farsi, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  Man's search for meaning : An Introduction to Logotherapy 
  “One of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years.” —Dr. Carl Rogers, psychologist and founder of Rogerian therapy. 
  “Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is one of the great books of our time. Typically, if a book has one passage, one idea with the power to change a person’s life, that alone justifies reading it, rereading it, and finding room for it on one’s shelves. This book has several such passages.” —Harold S. Kushner, author and rabbi emeritus at Temple Israel. 
  Viktor Frankl's account of his battle for survival at Auschwitz and other concentration camps is included in Man's Search for Meaning, one of the great masterpieces to come out of the Holocaust. 
  Generations of readers have been captivated by this book because of its depictions of life in Nazi death camps and its spiritual survival teachings. 
  Frankl contends that although we cannot escape pain, we can decide how to manage it, find meaning in it, and go on with a new sense of purpose based on his personal experience and the testimonies of his patients. The belief that the pursuit of what we find significant, rather than pleasure, is the fundamental human motivation is at the core of his philosophy, which is known as logotherapy. 
  One of the most important books in the Universe today is Man's Search for Meaning, which never stops encouraging us to discover meaning in life itself.

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  Animal testing has long been a cornerstone of scientific research, serving as a method to understand biological processes, test the safety and efficacy of products, and develop medical treatments. It involves the use of live animals in experiments and observational studies to explore the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other substances on biological systems. This practice, while often viewed as essential, is fraught with controversy, ethical dilemmas, and scientific scrutiny. 
  The origins of animal testing can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle and Erasistratus conducted rudimentary experiments on animals to study anatomy and physiology. Over centuries, as medicine and technology advanced, the scope and complexity of animal testing expanded. By the 19th and 20th centuries, animal experimentation had become an institutionalized component of biomedical research, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries such as vaccines, antibiotics, and surgical techniques. 
  Today, animal testing is pervasive across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It is primarily used to evaluate the safety of products, ensure regulatory compliance, and develop new treatments for diseases. Animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, and primates are commonly employed because of their physiological similarities to humans, which researchers argue make them suitable models for studying human biology.

  The Four Heavens - A New History...

  From the world-leading expert on the Maya, a monumental history of a flourishing civilization across three millenniaThe Four Heavens brings to life the cultural and visual splendor of the ancient Maya, drawing on the oldest indigenous texts of the Americas and the latest archaeological discoveries to present an entirely new history of this spectacular civilization. Renowned historian and archaeologist David Stuart, who has made groundbreaking contributions to the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics, shows how there was no single rise and fall of the Maya but a series of births and collapses over a breathtaking span of nearly three millennia.Maya history was seemingly lost forever when the first Europeans encountered the great ruins of ancient cities in what is today Mexico and Central America. Today, with the recent decipherment of their ancient writings, the story of the Maya can now be told from their perspective. Stuart traces the rapid emergence of permanent settlements in the rainforest, which gave rise to monumental architecture and a flourishing urbanism and ushered in the Classic period of Maya civilization beginning in the mid-second century CE. He reveals a world of majestic royal courts tightly bound together by marriages, shifting alliances, and warfare, much of it driven by the ambitions of two major dynasties, the Kanuls and Mutuls. Stuart describes how the long-standing rivalry between these two great houses shaped the fates of the surrounding kingdoms and may have set the stage for “the Great Rupture” of the nineth century, when the royal courts buckled under the weight of internal strife, social unrest, and environmental crisis, transforming Maya civilization yet again.
