Summary

In "Tesla's Experiments with Alternating Currents," Nikola Tesla delves into the groundbreaking principles and applications of alternating current (AC) systems, a revolutionary technology that transformed the electrical landscape. Written in Tesla's characteristic blend of technical precision and visionary enthusiasm, this work elucidates both the theoretical underpinnings of AC and its practical implementations, demonstrating its superiority over direct current (DC). Situated within the late 19th-century milieu of scientific innovation, the book reflects Tesla's pioneering spirit and addresses contemporary debates about the burgeoning electric industry, appealing to both scientific and lay audiences. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and engineer, is renowned for his significant contributions to the development of electrical engineering and electromagnetism. Born in 1856, Tesla's formative experiences in Europe, paired with his later work in America, fueled his relentless quest to improve electrical systems. His tumultuous rivalry with contemporaries, particularly Thomas Edison, highlights the socio-political backdrop against which Tesla championed AC technology, ultimately influencing the global adoption of electricity. Tesla's work is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the evolution of modern electrical systems, as it not only showcases his innovative mind but also invites reflection on the transformative impact of technology on society. This book is a masterclass in scientific exposition that will captivate engineers, historians, and technology enthusiasts alike.

    From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
     
     
     
    In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
     
     
     
    Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.

    Bailey's writing has been described thusly by the Newark Evening News: "Mr. Bailey centered all his plots in the animal, bird and insect worlds, weaving natural history into the stories in a way that won educator's approval without arousing the suspicions of his young readers. He made it a habit to never 'write down' to children and frequently used words beyond the average juvenile vocabulary, believing that youngsters respond to the stimulus of the unfamiliar. (Wikipedia)

    In this incredible audiobook, we invite you to learn about the different methods of extraction and analysis of the main cannabinoids for the use of derivatives in the cannabis industry. 
    Currently, about 113 compounds have been isolated from the Cannabis sativa species, among the most important are tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These phytocannabinoids are mostly present in the form of carboxylic acids and are located in the trichomes of this plant. 
    To identify and characterize the chemical molecules present in cannabis, it is important to know how to select the most appropriate extraction method. This technique depends on parameters such as temperature, agitation speed, process time, particle size, and distribution to achieve the concentration of the different cannabinoids. Likewise, it is necessary to implement an analytical system for the determination of cannabinoids, thus increasing the reliability of the efficacy of the formulated products, whether for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, gastronomic, or textile industry.  
    If you are interested in learning more about the latest techniques for the extraction and analysis of phytocannabinoids, we invite you to listen to this audiobook brought to you by Pharmacology University.
