Sinopse

Nuclear Tests explores the extensive history and far-reaching consequences of over two thousand nuclear detonations worldwide. It examines how these tests have profoundly impacted the environment, human health, and international relations, while also tracing the efforts to control nuclear proliferation. One intriguing aspect is how nuclear testing, initially seen as a display of scientific prowess, led to widespread radioactive contamination, affecting ecosystems and human populations for generations. The book highlights the Cold War's role in fueling the nuclear arms race, and the subsequent debates on nuclear disarmament and global security.

 
The book progresses by first laying the historical groundwork, detailing the scientific discoveries that initiated nuclear weapons development. It then delves into the atmospheric testing era, where numerous explosions exposed soldiers and civilians to radiation. It also explores the long-term environmental consequences, such as soil and water contamination, and the health impacts, including radiation-related diseases.

 
By combining historical analysis, scientific data, and personal accounts, Nuclear Tests provides a comprehensive and balanced perspective on this pivotal period in human history, making it a valuable resource for understanding the nuclear age.

Dissidently Speaking - Change...

Brent Hamachek

Mostly Americans need to take a fresh look at ourselves. To do that we need to apply critical thinking, add some skepticism, and be willing to replace answers with questions. 
Compiled from a decade of writings and contemplation, and further aided by a forty-year career in the world of business dealing with hundreds of companies, this book represents a synthesis between the theoretical and the empirical. Each chapter stands entirely on its own, but each stands stronger when joined with the others. The author’s goal is simply to have the reader challenge their preconceived notions. 
This book is for you if you feel confident enough to challenge everything you might think about the American political dynamic, how honestly and effectively you communicate with others, and how you process what you find in the news or on social media. Do you have what it takes to become a political dissident? Find out. Finally, and most difficult of all, are you up to taking a look into the mirror and asking yourself: Am I ethical? 
Get ready to have your toy box dumped all over the floor. Prepare to check all your premises. Be willing to think!

Transformative Experience

L.A. Paul

Transformative Experience by L.A. Paul challenges the foundations of how we make life's biggest decisions. From becoming a parent to changing careers—or even becoming a vampire in a thought experiment—some choices don’t just alter your circumstances; they change you. Paul introduces the concept of transformative experiences—decisions that are both epistemically transformative (you can’t know what they’re like until you live them) and personally transformative (they change your core values, preferences, or identity). 
 
Traditional models of rational decision-making assume we can evaluate outcomes based on what we currently value. But what happens when the experience itself reshapes those values? If you can't imagine what the future will feel like, or if your future self values different things, how can you make a rational choice now? 
 
Blending vivid examples, from parenthood to philosophical thought experiments, Paul explores the limits of foresight, the nature of self, and how we might embrace decision-making not as prediction—but as discovery. Transformative Experience is a groundbreaking work that forces us to rethink autonomy, authenticity, and the very meaning of rational choice.

Alien Illuminati

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
The illuminati are a shadowy group that controls the world from behind the scenes. They're pulling the strings of the financial elite, government, the media, and even natural disasters. 
 
The illuminati are in fact aliens. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is fact. The illuminati are a secret society that has been manipulating the world for centuries. They are responsible for major political and social events, and they control the everything. They are secretive and powerful, and they are not human. In fact, their bloodline goes back millennia to the very moment they genetically manipulated the human race on Earth. 
 
The evidence is clear. The illuminati are aliens, and they are not our friends. They are manipulative and controlling, and they are hiding in the shadows. If you're not careful, they will control you too.

Raw Meaty Bones

Dr. Tom Lonsdale

Dr Tom Lonsdale’s original, pioneering work Raw Meaty Bones is the foremost book on the nutritional needs of pet dogs, cats and ferrets. First published in 2001—and of still greater importance today—the 14 chapters are packed with information vital for pet owners and pet professionals the world over.Lonsdale explains how industrial diets devastate the health of pets, how dirty tartar encrusted teeth, sore gums and stinky breath signal the downward spiral of ill-health, suffering and needless trips to the vet. By contrast he shows why dogs and cats crave the ripping, tearing and crunching on raw meaty bones—Nature’s miracle treatment and preventative. It’s the tough, chewy texture of the food that imparts the medicinal benefits. And providing your pet does enough ripping and tearing its teeth will be clean, gums healthy and breath sweet. The resultant benefits for the immune system, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys are enormous—one happy, contented pet.   Raw Meaty Bones makes no apology, it reveals a veterinary profession lost without a moral compass beholden to the multi-national pet food companies. It provides the foundations for a pet health revolution—with enormous cost savings for pet owners and benefits for the natural environment worth $billions.If you own a pet, or know someone who does, this book’s for you.

War Crimes - Accountability and...

Marcus Klein

War crimes represent some of the most heinous acts of violence committed during conflict, violating the basic principles of humanity and decency. These crimes, which range from genocide to the targeting of civilians, are not only devastating to the victims but also to the social fabric of entire societies. Over the centuries, the world has witnessed numerous atrocities during wartime, but the formal recognition and prosecution of these crimes have evolved significantly, especially in the last century.
The need for accountability in the face of war crimes is critical. It is not only about bringing perpetrators to justice but also about establishing a global standard that deters such crimes in the future. The introduction of international laws and institutions aimed at prosecuting war crimes marks a pivotal shift in the international community's approach to warfare. The atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, were a wake-up call for the global community. This led to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials, the first real attempt to hold individuals accountable for war crimes, and set the foundation for modern international law.
The purpose of this book is to explore the concept of war crimes, the historical development of international law designed to address such crimes, and the ongoing challenges of prosecuting these atrocities. We will examine the evolution of legal frameworks, such as the Geneva Conventions and the establishment of the International Criminal Court, and discuss how these institutions work to hold individuals and states accountable for their actions during wartime.
