Sinossi

In "Poisonous Snakes of Kansas," Robert F. Clarke provides a meticulously researched examination of the venomous serpents that inhabit the Sunflower State. With a compelling blend of scientific rigor and accessible prose, Clarke explores the biology, behavior, and ecological significance of these often-misunderstood creatures. He employs vivid descriptions and illustrative photographs to enhance the reader's understanding, while situating his work within the broader context of herpetological studies in North America. The book serves as both a field guide and an educational resource, shedding light on the interaction between humans and snakes, and the myths that surround these fascinating reptiles. Robert F. Clarke, a seasoned herpetologist with extensive fieldwork experience in the Great Plains, draws upon his deep appreciation for Kansas'Äô natural history and biodiversity. His passion for herpetology, sparked in childhood, drives his commitment to conservation and public education about snakes. Through his academic and field endeavors, Clarke has cultivated a nuanced understanding of the complex ecological roles snakes play, particularly in regions like Kansas, where they are often at risk due to habitat destruction and human conflict. This book is highly recommended for naturalists, educators, and anyone with an interest in wildlife and ecology. Clarke's thorough insights not only deepen our understanding of these reptiles but also encourage a respectful coexistence with them. "Poisonous Snakes of Kansas" stands as an essential contribution to both local and broader ecological literacy, making it a must-read for anyone fascinated by the natural world.

    Industrial design plays a pivotal role in modern industry by significantly influencing product functionality, aesthetics, user experience, and market competitiveness. One of the primary contributions of industrial design is the enhancement of product functionality and usability. Designers achieve this by thoroughly understanding user needs and behaviors, which allows them to create products that are intuitive and easy to use. This not only boosts customer satisfaction but also reduces the demand for customer support. 
      
    The aesthetic appeal and brand identity of a product are also heavily shaped by industrial design. A well-designed product can greatly enhance a brand’s image and market position, as the integration of form and function results in visually appealing products that stand out. This visual attractiveness is a critical factor in consumer decision-making and fostering brand loyalty. 
      
    Innovation and differentiation are crucial in a competitive market, and industrial designers play a key role here by merging creative thinking with technical expertise. This fusion leads to the development of unique features and functionalities that distinguish products from those of competitors.

    Welcome to explore this wonderful audiobook in which you will learn about the benefits of cannabis sativa as a treatment for anxiety. 
    At the beginning you will surely have some doubts such as: what is anxiety? How do I know if I suffer from it? Read it with us and find out. 
    Anxiety disorder is a collection of mental health conditions, characterized by ambiguous situations, by a disproportionate concern about future events that provoke physiological and behavioral responses, which prepare the individual for defense or flight. 
    Worldwide, the estimated number of people with anxiety disorders totaled 264 million in 2015, a consequence of population growth and aging. In the Americas Region, it is estimated that up to 7.7% of the female population suffers from anxiety disorders (3.6% of men). Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis for the management and control of these conditions and to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from them. 
    In this audiobook, you will understand how molecules derived from the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids, could be indicated for the effective treatment of patients diagnosed with this disorder. For this it is important to know the evolutionary history of anxiety, epidemiology, risk factors and how the diagnosis is made, the endocannabinoid system and its distribution in the body, its receptors and all the wonderful homeostatic-physiological functions it performs in our central nervous system, as well as clinical studies showing that phytocannabinoids, especially CBD, works as a possible anxiolytic treatment, for a satisfactory clinical evolution. 
    Learn more about the incredible medical cannabis and how it can improve the quality of life of those suffering from anxiety disorder. We invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

    ‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr 
    A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains. 
    On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts. 
    Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago. 
    In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.
