  Get a complete, 360-degree education about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin. 2017 has been a year of changes in the world. Above everything, the blockchain has certainly been the main innovation that will go down in history. While it is not a new technology, it has just started to show its influence. It is clear that cryptocurrencies will become more and more popular in 2020 In fact, the market of cryptocurrencies has now reached over 620 billion dollar in evaluation. It is a remarkable achievement, since this industry is now bigger than McDonald's and Pepsi. If this phenomenon could be left outside the media a few years ago, now, it is impossible to deny that there is a true revolution in act. This is the perfect time to get into this space, both from a trader and an investor point of view. Most of the 1,300 cryptocurrencies in existence are undervalued (some of them are overvalued, of course), and it is not sure how long things will stay that way. With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introduce people to the world of blockchain and cryptos. This manual goes into well-researched and newbie-friendly reflections about the most important aspects of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin, such as: - What blockchain is - Blockchain's future - Blockchain vs Bitcoin - Pros and cons of blockchain -Blockchain and the financial industry - How can blockchain affect other Get the book today and Click Buy Now!

  “With our hearts and minds focused on the stewardship of the only planet we have, the best way to engage in a hopeful future is to plant oaks! Let this book be your inspiration and guide.” —The American Gardener With Bringing Nature Home, Doug Tallamy changed the conversation about gardening in America. His second book, the New York Times bestseller Nature’s Best Hope, urged homeowners to take conservation into their own hands. Now, he turns his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom—the mighty oak tree.   Oaks sustain a complex and fascinating web of wildlife. The Nature of Oaks reveals what is going on in oak trees month by month, highlighting the seasonal cycles of life, death, and renewal. From woodpeckers who collect and store hundreds of acorns for sustenance to the beauty of jewel caterpillars, Tallamy illuminates and celebrates the wonders that occur right in our own backyards. He also shares practical advice about how to plant and care for an oak, along with information about the best oak species for your area. The Nature of Oaks will inspire you to treasure these trees and to act to nurture and protect them.

  Why can't you remember where you put your keys? Or the title of the movie you saw last week? Anyone older than forty knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin explores the factors that determine how well or poorly one's brain will age. She takes readers along on her lively journey—consulting with experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. Along the way, she turns up fresh scientific findings, explores the dark regions of the human brain, and hears the intimate confessions of high-functioning midlife adults who—like so many of us—are desperate to understand exactly what's going on upstairs.

  In this book, you will learn about cannabis from its fundamental unit, in other words, what identifies it and gives it these important characteristics, making it a unique species, based on its genetic material or the information present in the plant's genes. This network of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), controls all the processes of defense, nutrition, and communication of cannabis, and at the same time produces wonderful molecules such as phenylpropanoids, cannabinoids, and terpenes, which offer us important medicinal properties. 
  New sequencing technologies have allowed a deeper study of the Cannabis genome and thanks to this, more important proteins for the plant are now known, as well as the biological pathways where they act, allowing plant species to be genetically modified, providing great benefits for crops.  
  Additionally, genetic engineering is transforming agricultural techniques, being a useful alternative in monitoring the stages of cultivation, also, these advances are revolutionizing the understanding of pharmacogenetics, which is how our body assimilates cannabis-based medicines. 
  If you are interested in learning more about the extraordinary world of cannabis genetics, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

  A look at the history of the commercial capturing of orcas in Washington’s Puget Sound, the whales taken, and the efforts to save them.  
   
  In November, 2005, Washington’s iconic killer whales, known as Southern Resident orcas, were placed on the endangered species list. It was a victory long overdue for a fragile population of fewer than one hundred whales. Author and certified marine naturalist Sandra Pollard traces the story and destinies of the many Southern Resident orcas captured for commercial purposes in or near the Puget Sound between 1964 and 1976. During this time, these highly intelligent members of the dolphin family lost nearly one-third of their population. Drawing on original archive material, this important volume outlines the history of orca captivity while also recounting the harrowing struggle—and ultimate triumph—for the Puget Sound orcas’ freedom. 
   
  “Making liberal use of interviews, correspondence and newspaper accounts, as well as less intensive use of legislative, governmental, and nonprofit records, Pollard constructs an easily digestible narrative for lay individuals curious about the hunting of Puget Sound’s Northern and Southern Resident killer whale groups between 1965 and 1976. Puget Sound Whales for Sale significantly succeeds the former (Blackfish) in breadth and depth.” —Pacific Northwest Quarterly

  Neuroscience

  The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome." All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity.
