  Megalodon The: The History and...

  As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
  	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
  	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.

  The Death of Materialism - A...

  What if everything you were taught about reality was wrong? 
  Emergency physician David Michael Gibbs was a die-hard materialist — until a single remote-viewing experiment shattered his worldview. 
  In The Death of Materialism, Gibbs maps four anomalies materialism can't explain: quantum observer effects, the hard problem of consciousness, replicable psi, and intention's power over biology. 
  From NDEs during flat EEGs to quantum coherence in plants, the data point to one conclusion: consciousness is fundamental, matter its shadow. 
  The universe isn't a machine that grew minds. It's a conscious field looking at itself through us. 
  Are you ready to question the ground beneath your feet?

  Finding Meaning in Wine - A US...

  This book examines controversies in American wine culture and how those controversies intersect with and illuminate current academic and cultural debates about the environment and about interpretation. 
   
   
   
  With a specific focus on the United States of America, the methods that we use to discuss literature and other art are applied to wine-making and wine culture. The book explores the debates about how to evaluate wine and the problems inherent in numerical scoring as well as evaluative tasting notes, whether winemakers can be artists, the discourse in wine culture involving natural wine and biodynamic farming, as well as how people judge what makes a wine great. These interpretative commitments illuminate an underlying metaphysics and allegiance to a culture of reason or feeling. The discussions engage with a broad range of writers and thinkers, such as Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Louis Menand, Michael Pollan, Greg Garrard, John Guillory, Amitov Ghosh, Pierre Bourdieu, and Barbara Herrnstein-Smith. The book draws upon not only a number of texts produced by wine critics, wine writers, literary critics, and theorists but also extensive interviews with wine writers and multiple California winemakers. These interviews contribute to a unique reflection on wine and meaning.

  Resetting the Alarm - PTSD The...

  • 0

  Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not a sign of weakness. It is a real condition rooted in how the nervous system responds to threat, trauma, and prolonged stress. 
  This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate, and evidence-informed explanation of PTSD through the lens of nervous system physiology. Designed for individuals with PTSD, their loved ones, clinicians, veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking understanding, it explains why symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, emotional numbing, sleep disturbance, and physical tension can persist long after the original trauma has passed. 
  Drawing on clinical experience and current scientific understanding, the audiobook explores how trauma can lead to persistent activation of the body’s stress response system. These symptoms are described as real, involuntary, and biologically driven — protective in origin, not signs of personal failure or psychological weakness. 
  Current management approaches are discussed, including trauma-focused psychological therapies, medication, lifestyle strategies, and emerging biological interventions aimed at calming the nervous system. One such intervention explored is the stellate ganglion block (SGB), a targeted procedure acting on the sympathetic nervous system that has shown promising results in some individuals with PTSD, particularly in reducing hyperarousal, sleep disruption, and anxiety symptoms. 
  SGB is presented cautiously and responsibly — as a potential adjunct, not a cure. Responses vary between individuals, long-term data are still evolving, and recovery from PTSD is often gradual, non-linear, and multi-faceted. The aim of this audiobook is to reduce shame, provide clarity, set realistic expectations, and support informed conversations with healthcare providers. 
  This audiobook is for educational purposes only and does not replace personalised medical or psychological assessment or treatment.

  Under the Radiant Hill - Life...

  The northern parish of Assynt boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain. The mountains of Quinag and Suilven dominate a very varied landscape with wild, white hills inland and a complex, intricate moorland to the west. Here, rocky crags, boggy flows, innumerable lochs and burns, stretch to a coast of equal variety with long fjords, high cliffs and sandy beaches. Close to many of the crofting townships are dense areas of native woodland.
  In this book, Robin Noble, who has been intimately involved with this corner of the north-west Highlands of Scotland his whole life, celebrates its rugged beauty and shares many intimate encounters with the resident wildlife – including, golden eagles, otters, badgers and pine martens – which surrounded his cottage in its wooded glen under the 'long mountain' of Quinag.
  Assynt is also well known for its important role in the history of community land ownership, and Robin describes too his deep involvement with those who live there. He learned much from the old generation of shepherds and crofters whom he got to know in the 1960s, as well as from their children and incomers in later decades, and shared with them the challenges of living in a remote, fragile community.
