Sinossi

A highly entertaining book debunking the many myths about the human body.
Everything You Know About the Human Body is Wrong debunks the scientific myths we all take for granted. Written by author Matt Brown in his trademark humourous style, this book takes you through all the facts we thought true, from bodily blunders, medical mis-quotes and curious cures. Does giving kids sugar make them go hyper-active? Not at all – there is no proven link! Is there such a thing as being 'double-jointed'? And is it dangerous to swim after eating?
Covering everything from pseudoscience to recent research, Everything You Know About the Human Body is Wrong shatters a range of illusions we have accepted unquestioningly since childhood and demystifies this most puzzling of subjects.

    A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
     
     
     
    Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

    A note from the creator: “I spent months living in a bustling residential neighborhood in the city of Amsterdam, far from the tourist crowds. From a large third-floor window, I grew deeply attached to the city’s nonstop sounds - foreign voices drifting past, youthful laughter, hundreds of bicycles riding on by, trams tinkering along, street crossing beeps, and repetitive traffic humming. Since I left, I realized that part of my love for the city was simply the comfort of those sounds. I’ll never tire of them and the nostalgia they bring. I hope these city soundscapes bring you the same calm and quiet sense of safety that they invoke in me.” 
    Maybe you live in a city? Or perhaps you left long-ago and you miss the comfort of its constant, soothing hums? 
    Each chapter in this audiobook is crafted from real-world recordings, layered and mastered by a professional audio engineer who has previously worked on major video-game sound projects, ensuring ultra-high sound quality and precision. 
    Inside this 16-hour journey, you’ll find yourself in cafés, train stations, trams, rain-soaked streets, day and night settings, skyscraper rooftops, and more — see which one is your favorite and put it on repeat! No harsh peaks or distracting narrationDesigned to play continuously overnightFiltered and edited to perfection - so sirens and traffic won’t wake you. Works as background ambience while working or studyingFrom the creators of other popular soundscape audiobooksHelps you sleep, meditate, or clear your mind.
