  Barons - Money Power and the...

  Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
   
   
   
  Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
   
   
   
  These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

  You use your brain every second of the day, yet you have no idea how a lump of tissue turns light into faces, smells into memories and a hunch into a decision. Every science book you open seems to start with jargon.
  
  This audiobook explains the brain as a round-the-clock newsroom. Reporters file stories from your senses, editors decide what makes the front page, and the archive gets rewritten every night while you sleep. Each commute-sized chapter takes one idea, from neurons and senses to memory and choice, and gives you at least one moment that makes you stop and think. The big numbers become human-scale pictures you can actually hold in your head. Every chapter closes with a spoken recap and a calm note on what neuroscience knows and what it is still working out.
  
  You finish able to explain your own mind to a friend over dinner. Press play on your next commute and start with the first report.

  The Cardiac Fulcrum - The...

  A crucial point of this research was the discovery of a myocardial support that we have termed cardiac fulcrum. The heart cannot be anatomically suspended and free in the thoracic cavity because it would be impossible to eject blood at a speed of 200 cm/s. Consequently, it was necessary for it to have a point of attachment, which was identified and called cardiac fulcrum (lever supporting point). In this supporting point, the muscle fibers are inserted in its structure of connective, chondroid or osseous nature, according to the specimens analyzed. All the hearts (bovine, porcine and human) studied in our investigations with anatomical and histological techniques certified this binding. The fibers that give origin to the myocardium, as well as those at its end, are attached to the fulcrum, leaving the rest of the muscular structure free in the mediastinum. Moreover, the cardiac fulcrum is seen in human adult and gestational ultrasounds, in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
