Summary

Leaf Colors explores the captivating transformation of green leaves into the vibrant hues of autumn, delving into plant biology and the science behind fall foliage. The book explains how photosynthesis, the process where plants convert sunlight into energy using chlorophyll, slows down as days shorten. This decrease in chlorophyll production reveals other plant pigments like carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple), creating the stunning seasonal display. Understanding these processes offers insights into forest ecology and climate science.

 
The book progresses from basic plant biology to detailed explanations of photosynthesis and pigment production. It also examines tree growth, detailing how trees transport water and nutrients using xylem and phloem. By examining these processes, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of life and the environmental factors influencing plant life.

 
The book uses a factual and informative approach, aiming to present complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner.

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
     
     
     
    In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

    Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. 
     
     
     
    The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than twenty-five profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.

    This audiobook is produced in collaboration with a qualified hypnotherapist and medical professional.  
    Sleep hypnosis is a technique that uses hypnotic suggestions to help people fall asleep more easily and improve the quality of their sleep. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness where the individual is more open to suggestions and more receptive to positive changes. Sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to help people overcome insomnia and other sleep disorders. 
    Sleep hypnosis works by using guided imagery and positive affirmations to help the mind relax and let go of any negative thoughts or worries that may be preventing sleep. A hypnotist or recorded audio program will guide the listener through a series of relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help the body release tension and prepare for sleep. 
    Some studies have suggested that sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. One study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that participants who underwent sleep hypnosis had better sleep quality and felt more refreshed upon waking than those who did not receive the treatment. 
    In conclusion, sleep hypnosis can be a useful tool for those struggling with sleep issues. With the right guidance and techniques, sleep hypnosis may be a useful tool for achieving a better night's sleep.

    The real story about how to be a successful seller on Amazon, from a leading consultant. Amazon is the most powerful business incubator in the history of the world. Unfortunately, where there is great opportunity, get-rich-quick schemes abound. Most available books about selling on Amazon peddle a dream that is unattainable for sellers. They promise riches at the cost of only five hours a week, or a long-term income for an initial investment of just $1,000. The Amazon Incubator is different. This book instead offers realistic, sustainable strategies for building a long-term, profitable business on Amazon. Whether sellers are burgeoning entrepreneurs or own the ecommerce channel at an established brand, they will benefit from the strategic thinking and in-depth Amazon know-how delivered in an easily digestible format. The reader will be guided through exercises to define their goals, determine their product set, and execute like a champ. The Amazon Incubator is written in short, easy-to-digest chapters that include case studies and real-world examples of Amazon seller success and failure. Readers will better identify with and understand the information when case studies are included. In addition, each chapter includes a brief summary at the end, as well as suggested action steps, so it can easily be used as a tool for the reader to share with teammates and business associates.
