  The Philadelphia State Hospital...

  This account of the infamous asylum is "an excellent record of greed and corruption, but it is also a powerful testimonial to compassion and kindness" (Hidden City). 
   
   
   
  The Quaker City and its hospitals were pioneers in the field of mental health. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, its institutions were crowded and patients lived in shocking conditions. The mentally ill were quartered with the dangerously criminal. By 1906, the city had purchased a vast acreage of farmland incorporated into the city, and the Philadelphia Hospital dubbed its new venture Byberry City Farms. From the start, its history was riddled with corruption and committees, investigations and inquests, appropriations and abuse. Yet it is also a story of reform and redemption, of heroes and human dignity—many dedicated staff members did their best to help patients whose mental illnesses were little understood and were stigmatized by society. 
   
   
   
  "Webster . . . wrote his book because of his fascination with an abandoned building he discovered in 2002. He wanted to tell the story of Byberry, one he believes many people do not fully understand." —Philadelphia Neighborhoods

  Understanding Human Evolution

  Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time. This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution. Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens. By separating the history of palaeoanthropology from current interpretation of the human fossil record, it lays numerous misconceptions to rest, and demonstrates that human evolution has been far from the linear struggle from primitiveness to perfection that we've been led to believe. It also presents a coherent scenario for how Homo sapiens contrived to cross a formidable cognitive barrier to become an extraordinary and unprecedented thinking creature. Understanding Human Evolution is for anyone interested in the complex and tangled story of how we came to be.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Imagine a universe with no edges, no beginning, no end—a universe where every possible version of reality already exists. Infinity: Why Nothing Ends and Everything Is Possible takes you on a journey into the heart of this eternal, infinite cosmos. 
  Through the lens of physics, cosmology, philosophy, and human experience, this book explores: 
  How infinite space and infinite time guarantee that all possibilities exist somewhere. 
  Why consciousness is not an accident, but a fundamental aspect of reality, allowing the universe to know itself. 
  How time is an illusion, and how the “present moment” contains all pasts, all futures, and all possibilities. 
  How infinite versions of “you” exist across timelines, universes, and dimensions, all connected through awareness. 
  How life itself reflects infinity, from the fractal geometry of the cosmos to the way human connection creates infinite reflections in one another. 
  Richly illustrated with metaphors, thought experiments, and poetic insights, this book guides readers to a profound understanding: you are not separate from the infinite - you are an expression of it. When two people meet, when a gaze connects, infinity is mirrored back through consciousness, creating endless patterns of experience and connection. 
  Infinity is a book for those who are curious about the universe, fascinated by consciousness, or seeking a deeper understanding of reality. It blends science, philosophy and spirituality into a coherent vision of life and existence that is both awe-inspiring and deeply practical. 
  Open it, and you will never see yourself - or the universe - the same way again.

  Herring - A History of the...

  The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
  Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
  With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.
