  The Lagoon - Encounters with the...

  Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
   
   
   
  Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
   
   
   
  A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

  The Conscience of Care -...

  Pitched battles over abortion, puberty blockers, and assisted suicide have turned American healthcare into a legal minefield. Faced with mounting restrictions on medical practice, doctors and nurses who follow their conscience to provide standard treatments risk being fined, fired, or even imprisoned, while clinicians who conscientiously deny evidence-based care are shielded without condition from any such consequences. Dov Fox argues that by ceding the moral vocabulary of conscience to refusers alone, the lopsided law of medical conscience selectively burdens providers, drives vulnerable patients underground, and impoverishes the dynamic pluralism of medicine.The Conscience of Care lays bare the broken system of medical conscience and sets out to fix it. Fox canvases a landscape of contested services that include IVF, IUDs, opioids, psychedelics, organ transplants, and advance directives. He develops practical reforms that rebalance conscience protection by introducing measured safeguards for providers and scaling back the categorical refuge afforded to refusers. The Conscience of Care articulates a bold vision of medicine that reclaims the lost promise of conscience to bridge social divides on matters of life and death, impairment and identity.

  The Dawn of a Mindful Universe -...

  An award-winning astronomer and physicist’s spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity—the foundations of science—to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change.  
   
  Since Copernicus, humanity has increasingly seen itself as adrift, an insignificant speck within a large, cold universe. Brazilian physicist, astronomer, and winner of the 2019 Templeton Prize Marcelo Gleiser argues that it is because we have lost the spark of the Enlightenment that has guided human development over the past several centuries. While some scientific efforts have been made to overcome this increasingly bleak perspective—the ongoing search for life on other planets, the recent idea of the multiverse—they have not been enough to overcome the core problem: we’ve lost our moral mission and compassionate focus in our scientific endeavors. 
  Gleiser argues that we’re using the wrong paradigm to relate to the universe and our position in it. In this deeply researched and beautifully rendered book, he calls for us to embrace a new life-centric perspective, one which recognizes just how rare and precious life is and why it should be our mission to preserve and nurture it. The Dawn of a Mindful Universe addresses the current environmental and scientific impasses and how the scientific community can find solutions to them. 
  Gleiser’s paradigm rethinks the ideals of the Enlightenment, and proposes a new direction for humanity, one driven by human reason and curiosity whose purpose is to save civilization itself. Within this model, we can once again see ourselves as the center of the universe—the place where life becomes conscious—and regain a clear moral compass which can be used to guide both science and the politics around it.

  Natural healing is the practice of using natural remedies such as herbs, foods, vitamins, and other plants to cure or prevent illness. In contrast with traditional Western medicine which focuses on treatments that are often high-tech and invasive, natural healing typically takes a less medical approach. 
  In most cases the body has a self-regulating ability to heal itself without intervention from individuals or outside sources which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to individuals who choose this type of treatment. However some people may have specific health conditions in which they need outside help from natural healers in order for their bodies to fully recover. 
  The term "natural healing" is also used in the context of alternative healing as opposed to alternative medicine, which is a distinct field at scientific investigation with its own principles, methods and theories. 
  Natural healing is a well-established practice in many cultures around the world; certain cultures are known to have had medical practitioners who have used natural remedies for centuries before the discovery of modern medical science. 
  This audio book covers 
  ·        What is Natural Healing 
  ·        How Does Natural Healing Work? 
  ·        The Healing Power of our Minds 
  ·        How Can We Stimulate Our Brain Waves?

  Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart conditions and diseases. The field focuses on understanding the intricate workings of the heart and circulatory system, ensuring optimal heart health, and addressing cardiovascular disorders, which are among the leading causes of death worldwide. As the global prevalence of heart disease rises, cardiology has become one of the most important and rapidly evolving fields in modern medicine. Its scope extends from the management of common heart diseases to the exploration of innovative treatments that can significantly improve patient outcomes. 
  The human heart is an extraordinary organ that pumps blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Cardiologists specialize in understanding the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the heart, along with how these affect the body’s overall health. Over the years, advancements in medical science, technology, and research have enabled cardiologists to diagnose and treat a wide variety of heart conditions, ranging from common issues such as hypertension and arrhythmias to more complex disorders like coronary artery disease and heart failure. These advancements are the result of groundbreaking discoveries, improved diagnostic methods, and refined therapeutic techniques. 
  In addition to treating existing heart conditions, cardiology also places a strong emphasis on prevention. Preventive cardiology aims to identify risk factors such as high cholesterol, smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise, which increase the likelihood of heart disease. By promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle and early detection of potential problems, the goal is to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and improve the quality of life for patients. Public health initiatives and education about cardiovascular risk factors are key components of this preventive approach.
