  On the Trail of the Jackalope -...

  The never-before-told story of the horned rabbit—the myths, the hoaxes, the very real scientific breakthrough it inspired—and how it became a cultural touchstone of the American West. 
  Just what is a jackalope? Purported to be part jackrabbit and part antelope, the jackalope began as a local joke concocted by two young brothers in a small Wyoming town during the Great Depression. Their creation quickly spread around the US, where it now regularly appears as innumerable forms of kitsch wall mounts, postcards, keychains, coffee mugs, shot glasses, and so on. A vast body of folk narratives has carried the jackalope’s fame around the world to inspire art, music, film, even erotica! 
  Although the jackalope is an invention of the imagination, it is nevertheless connected to actual horned rabbits, which exist in nature and have for centuries been collected and studied by naturalists. Around the time the two young boys were creating the first jackalope in Wyoming, Dr. Richard Shope was making his first breakthrough about the cause of the horns: a virus. When the virus that causes rabbits to grow “horns” (a keratinous carcinoma) was first genetically sequenced in 1984, oncologists were able to use that genetic information to make remarkable, field-changing advances in the development of antiviral cancer therapies. The most important of these is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against cervical and other cancers. Today, jackalopes are literally helping us cure cancer. 
  For fans of David Quammen’s The Song of the Dodo, Jon Mooallem’s Wild Ones, or Jeff Meldrum's Sasquatch, Michael P. Branch's remarkable On the Trail of the Jackalope is an entertaining and enlightening road trip through the heart of America.

  This audio compilation with 11 XXL-sessions is designed to facilitate the transition from wakefulness to deep, restorative sleep through the use of binaural delta wave stimulation.---Binaural beats are generated when two slightly different frequencies are presented separately to each ear. The brain perceives a third, rhythmic pulse corresponding to the frequency difference between the two tones. In this recording, the difference is tuned to the delta frequency range (0.5–4 Hz), which is associated with slow-wave sleep and deep relaxation.---Prolonged exposure to delta-frequency stimulation leads to:• Reduced cortical arousal and overall neural activity• Enhanced synchronization of low-frequency neural oscillations• Gradual induction and maintenance of deep, non-REM sleep statesFor optimal effect, use quality stereo headphones such as AirPods in a quiet environment, and allow the session to play continuously at a low volume as you fall asleep.---No voice or verbal guidance is included — only low-frequency binaural tones blended with ambient sound textures engineered for physiological calmness and sustained delta entrainment.---#### deep sleep, binaural beats, delta waves, brainwave entrainment, sleep induction, non-REM sleep, relaxation, recovery, frequencies, 0.5–4 Hz ####

  This is the story of talking at a distance, of sending messages through space. It is the story of great men—Morse, Thomson, Bell, Marconi, and others—and how, with the aid of men like Field, Vail, Catty, Pupin, the scientist, and others in both the technical and commercial fields, they succeeded in flashing both messages and speech around the world, with wires and without wires. It is the story of how the thought of the world has been linked together by those modern wonders of science and of industry—the telegraph, the submarine cable, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, and, most recently, the wireless telephone.

  On the Origin of Species

  Charles Darwin

  Charles Darwin's seminal work published in 1859, presents the theory of evolution through natural selection. The book outlines how species change over time, with variations in physical and behavioral characteristics allowing organisms better suited to their environment to survive and reproduce, passing on favorable traits to future generations. Darwin cites evidence from his observations, experiments, and research, including on his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, to argue that all life shares a common ancestor and that the diversity of species arises through this process of gradual evolution, rather than through special creation as widely believed at the time. The book challenged prevailing religious and scientific views, sparking intense debate, but Darwin's theory of natural selection has since become the foundation of modern evolutionary biology.
