  Technology Touchpoints -...

  PhD MAC Loretta L. C. Brady

  This is a story about a family coming of age at the same time as smartphones and social media; a multiracial family coming into its own as windows into social injustice opened up before our very screens; and a multi-parent multi-professional family with children living differently depending on which house and which combination of family members happen to be home. While it is a story about a family, it is really the story of technological and global changes unfolding on our doorsteps. 
   
   
   
  While many revile the ascendance of smartphones and social media and the way they suck us into the vortex of cyberspace, there are cultural touchpoints that reflect deeper human and technology development patterns, patterns which we would all do well to understand, no matter whether or how we choose to engage in the ever-innovating digital frontiers. Informed by research and interviews with leaders in policy, human development, ethics, and technology, Loretta Brady helps listeners understand the complex systemic challenges and findings related to technology and human development. 
   
   
   
  We do not have to hate or fear technology. It is neither friend nor foe. But understanding its impact on our daily lives is paramount to cultivating a healthier relationship both with our digital lives and our real, lived ones.

  Each day we are exposed to a myriad of natural and human-made chemicals in our food, drinking water, air, soil, at home or at the workplace—pesticide residues, food additives, drugs, household products—but how can we gauge the human health risk posed by these chemicals? Should we believe the somber headlines that depict a serious threat for humans and the environment, or should we follow the reassuring voices of others who claim that the angst is totally unfounded?

  Millions of Americans suffer from back pain and try numerous remedies to ease their suffering. 
  It's unlikely that many of them have considered sex to ease that aching back. Dr. Michel Rice DC MD aims to change that. In Sexy Back, Rice presents an irreverent, often side-splitting regimen for laying back pain to rest while getting laid. 
  Rest assured—there's no hype here, just a clear explanation of common causes of back pain and a workable program for relief. Remedies involve secret tricks to instantly look and feel sexier, sexercises for your back and core and, while the tone is light and the exercises have cheerily suggestive names, the science behind them is sound and fully explained. 
  Sexy Back is a hands-on list of activities for better back health and pain-free sex. As a Sexy Back reader, you can also consult with Dr. Rice and his Sexy Back training team, receive a signed copy of Sexy Back with a personalized prescription to help you heal back pain (yours or someone else's), and receive a special price on the upcoming online sexercise video streaming program. Join the Sexy Back Club to share your personal challenges and gains on a private or community level. 
  Dr. Michel Rice treated over 15,000 back pain patients before becoming a director of Better Call Doc Clinic and the Ontario Research Medical Group. His focus on the intersection of sex and chronic back pain came to Rice from unsolicited pronouncements from dozens of single lady patients.  
  Alas, their renewed spinal health was the result of their lucky break of having a one-night stand. Nine years later came the birth of a sexy rehab program called Sexy Back.Book details

  ER: Existence Reality and Time

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. ER: Existence, Reality and Time continues the journey begun in Time Explained: Introduction into the World of Becoming. While the earlier book offered a broad introduction to the mysteries of time and first outlined the framework of Existential Realism (ER), this new work takes the next step: a deep dive into the philosophical heart of ER. 
  At once rigorous and accessible, the book explores how existence unfolds in the present, how reality extends into past and future, and why becoming—rather than static being—must stand at the center of our understanding of time. It responds to the many questions raised by Time Explained, clarifying, expanding, and strengthening the vision of a temporal system that unites lived experience with scientific insight.
