  This book contains ideas and thoughts from these philosophers: 
  - Martha Nussbaum: At the heart of Nussbaum’s intellectual journey is the development of the capabilities approach, a framework she co-created with economist Amartya Sen. This approach is centered on the idea that justice should be evaluated based on individuals’ abilities to function and achieve various important life goals, rather than simply on income or wealth. The capabilities approach emphasizes human dignity and focuses on the conditions that allow people to live lives they have reason to value. It challenges traditional views of social justice by broadening the scope of what constitutes a flourishing life beyond mere economic success. 
  - Peter Singer: Peter Singer is one of the most influential philosophers in contemporary ethics, known for his contributions to utilitarianism, animal rights, global poverty, bioethics, and environmental ethics. His ethical philosophy is grounded in the principle of utilitarianism, which holds that the right course of action is the one that produces the greatest overall happiness or well-being. Singer’s work is characterized by a practical, results-oriented approach, focusing on how ethical principles can be applied to real-world issues to alleviate suffering and promote well-being. His influential works, such as Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save, challenge readers to consider the moral implications of their actions in a variety of contexts, from how they treat animals to how they engage with global poverty.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Aircraft Systems have been an under explored subject in flight academies. The truth is, a pilot must be familiar with each of their aircraft's systems before commencing their initial flights. 
  	In this work, you will learn everything about the basic systems of the main light or small aircraft: landing gear, tires, flight controls, fuel, electricity, cables and control rods, control surfaces, and all the key systems that make up your aircraft’s equipment. 
  	Learning aircraft systems should take place during the initial flight hours for aviation students. This will provide them with the necessary tools to understand what is happening with the operation of each of these systems at all times. A particular skill that will maximize safety in flight operations. 
  	All of us, as human beings, need to understand how our body functions to identify deficiencies and stay healthy. As pilots, we need to understand how our aircraft systems work to identify malfunctions and manage emergencies efficiently and safely.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
  'Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will' by Robert M. Sapolsky is a profound exploration of the concept of free will in human behavior. Building on his previous work in "Behave," which delved into the reasons behind good and bad human actions, Sapolsky advances the idea that the nature-nurture interplay significantly dictates our behavior, challenging the notion of a distinct self that controls our biology. 
  The book synthesizes a current understanding of consciousness, blending aspects of reason, emotion, and responses to stimuli across one's lifetime. Sapolsky methodically debunks major free will arguments, traversing through chaos and complexity science, quantum physics, and philosophical concepts. He illustrates how historical medical perspectives, like viewing seizures as demonic possession, have evolved to a more understanding stance that reduces personal blame. 
  Sapolsky also examines the implications of life without free will in the realms of punishment, morality, and societal living. Contrary to fears of anarchy and existential despair, he argues that acknowledging the absence of free will could lead to a more compassionate and humane world where judgment and self-criticism are less prevalent. 'Determined' presents a challenging yet enlightening perspective on human behavior, urging a reevaluation of how we perceive actions and responsibility.

As soon as you hear, the narrator‘s voice, an army veteran himself, his highs and his lows don’t just read words they tell the story the way it should be told .
