  Are you wondering what the potential applicability the cannabinoid CBG has to dermatological disorders?  
  Are you looking for a short narrative review that won’t break the bank that has also been co-written by someone who holds a Ph.D. in medicine and pharmacology? 
  Maybe you have already started incorporating CBD into your topical products and wondered if its big brother, the lesser-known cannabinoid, CBG, is going to be even more effective in treating chronic skin issues?  
  Regardless of why you are here, you won’t be disappointed.  
  We have conducted a detailed literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords, including synonyms, and all the possible combinations of them; cannabinoids, skin disorder, cannabigerol, cutaneous disorder.  
  Relevant studies that reported a mechanism of action or a dermatological therapeutic effect of CBG, were included in this review. The 35 medical studies we reviewed are contained at the end of this paper so you can go off and study them in more detail if required. 
  As someone who co-founded Scotland’s first cannabis cosmetics manufacturing specialist, Cannafull, and CBD beauty brand, Ascend, I know first-hand what it is like to be ahead of the curve. I truly hope you find this short paper useful in kick-starting discussions on how CBG will eclipse CBD’s market-disrupting footsteps in monumental fashion.  
  The big question is, will you embrace it early, or be left behind... 
  “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Niccolo Machiavelli

  The Physics of Wall Street - A...

  A look inside the world of “quants” and how science can (and can’t) predict financial markets: “Entertaining and enlightening” (The New York Times).   After the economic meltdown of 2008, Warren Buffett famously warned, “beware of geeks bearing formulas.” But while many of the mathematicians and software engineers on Wall Street failed when their abstractions turned ugly in practice, a special breed of physicists has a much deeper history of revolutionizing finance. Taking us from fin-de-siècle Paris to Rat Pack–era Las Vegas, from wartime government labs to Yippie communes on the Pacific coast, James Owen Weatherall shows how physicists successfully brought their science to bear on some of the thorniest problems in economics, from options pricing to bubbles.   The crisis was partly a failure of mathematical modeling. But even more, it was a failure of some very sophisticated financial institutions to think like physicists. Models—whether in science or finance—have limitations; they break down under certain conditions. And in 2008, sophisticated models fell into the hands of people who didn’t understand their purpose, and didn’t care. It was a catastrophic misuse of science. The solution, however, is not to give up on models; it’s to make them better.   This book reveals the people and ideas on the cusp of a new era in finance, from a geophysicist using a model designed for earthquakes to predict a massive stock market crash to a physicist-run hedge fund earning 2,478.6% over the course of the 1990s. Weatherall shows how an obscure idea from quantum theory might soon be used to create a far more accurate Consumer Price Index. The Physics of Wall Street will change how we think about our economic future.   “Fascinating history . . . Happily, the author has a gift for making complex concepts clear to lay readers.” —Booklist

  This survey of science, religion and philosophy by an Integral thought leader “brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution” (Deepak Chopra). 
   
  Blending cutting-edge ideas with spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called “evolutionary spirituality.” Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra says “is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it.” 
   
  “A profound and profoundly important new work.” —Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything and The Integral Vision  
   
  “No one has their head and heart around the full range of evolutionary worldviews like Carter Phipps.” —Reverend Michael Dowd, author of Thank God for Evolution  
   
  “A significant contribution.” John F. Haught, Senior Fellow at Georgetown University's Woodstock Theological Center and Former Chair and Professor of the Department of Theology at Georgetown University 
   
  “It would be hard to find a better guide into this fascinating conversation than Carter Phipps’s Evolutionaries.” —Brian Swimme, Ph.D, Director of the Center for the Story of the Universe and Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies  
   
  “Thoughtful and provocative.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  “Phipps’s writing projects a palpable sense of positivity and excitement for what is to come.” —Publishers Weekly

  While reporting just outside of Darfur, Stephan Faris discovered that climate change was at the root of that conflict, and he began to wonder what current and impending-and largely unanticipated-crises such changes have in store for the world.Forecast provides the answers.Global warming will spur the spread of many diseases. Italy has already experienced its first climate-change epidemic of a tropical disease, and malaria is gaining ground in Africa. The warming world will shift huge populations and potentially redraw political alliances around the globe, driving environmentalists into the hands of anti-immigrant groups. America's coasts are already more difficult places to live, as increasing insurance rates make the Gulf Coast and other gorgeous spots prohibitively expensive. Crops will fail in previously lush places and thrive in some formerly barren zones, altering huge industries and remaking traditions. Water scarcity in India and Pakistan have the potential to inflame the conflict in Kashmir to unprecedented levels and draw the United States into the troubles there and elsewhere.Told through the narratives of current, past, and future events, the result of astonishingly wide travel and reporting, Forecast is a powerful, gracefully written, eye-opening account of this most urgent issue and how it has altered and will alter our world.

  Trevor Cox is on a hunt for the sonic wonders of the world. A renowned expert who engineers classrooms and concert halls, Cox has made a career of eradicating bizarre and unwanted sounds. But after an epiphany in the London sewers, Cox now revels in exotic noises-creaking glaciers, whispering galleries, stalactite organs, musical roads, humming dunes, seals that sound like alien angels, and a Mayan pyramid that chirps like a bird. With forays into archaeology, neuroscience, biology, and design, Cox explains how sound is made and altered by the environment, how our body reacts to peculiar noises, and how these mysterious wonders illuminate sound's surprising dynamics in everyday settings-from your bedroom to the opera house. The Sound Book encourages us to become better listeners in a world dominated by the visual and to open our ears to the glorious cacophony all around us.
