  The Chemists Key

  Narrated by Matthew Schmitz of Altrusian Grace Media - Please make sure you check out all the amazing audiobooks released by AGM! "The Chemists Key to Shut and Open: As the True Doctrine of the Corruption and Generation in Ten Brief Aphorisms, Illustrated with most plain and faithful Commentaries, out of the Pure Light of Nature: By that Judicious and Industrious Artist 
  Henry Nollius, 1617. This book having worth enough in itself needs not my commendation, this Author in his lifetime being an eminent physician and most able Philosopher as the discourse itself can best testify. The translator also wanted not judgment to choose what was best in his kind, nor abilities to perform, the choice being made. It is I alone that appear here as Menelaus at that feast in the Iliad, who came though not invited. I shall not endeavor to excuse myself, for I come not empty but will contribute somewhat to the collation. The Author builds on good principles, so that his Theory is as true as it is plausible; and I presume he aimed at nothing more, leaving all particulars and their application to the industry of his readers. He is sometimes pleased to descend to examples, but to such only as are natural, and they indeed are good to teach but hard to imitate. We see not all that Nature does."

  “A landmark work . . . I was relieved to see that there is a good and reasonable solution to the ruinous policies of unbridled new development.” —Mark Stewart, CEO, iAccess Communications   The Restoration Economy reveals the previously undocumented trillion-dollar global industries that are restoring our natural and manmade environments. Restorative development is rapidly overtaking new development because we are running out of things to develop. Most natural areas are already either farmed or degraded, and cities have built all the way to their borders. However, there is no lack of things to redevelop and restore. Storm Cunningham surveys the wide range of restoration industries and points out the connections among them. He shows, for example, how the restoration of a river ecosystem can have a major impact on the commercial success of a redeveloped historic urban waterfront. Written for a broad range of audiences, The Restoration Economy is an entertaining blend of business, science, and economics that details exciting new business and investment opportunities in this dynamic economic sector.  “Any companies or consultants looking for new markets must read The Restoration Economy!” —Pamela J. Gordon, CMC, President, Technology Forecasters, Inc.  “The Restoration Economy is required reading here at Weston Solutions. It has been indispensable in helping us refocus our strategy. ”—Bill Robertson, Chairman, Weston Solutions  “The Restoration Economy is without a doubt the most important and valuable business book I have read in many years.” —Don Pross, Urban Revitalization Planner  “This book is an original, a first! I profited from it greatly, and I quote from it in my speeches.” —William H. Hudnut III, Former Four-Term Mayor of Indianapolis

  The Unexpected Genius of Pigs

  We often consider dogs to be our enduring sidekicks but the truth is domestic pigs have played a role in our lives for nearly as long. 
  Pigs are highly social and smart. They like to play. They’re inventive, crafty and belligerent – and incredibly singleminded. 
  Ultimately, we have far more in common with these creatures than we like to admit. 
  Here is a charming ode to one of the most common, yet surprisingly intelligent, animals populating our landscapes. In this gentle and illuminating study, Matt Whyman embarks on a journey to uncover the heart and soul of an animal brimming with more energy, intelligence and playfulness than he could ever have imagined. 
  In his bid to understand what makes a pig tick, having climbed a steep learning curve as a keeper himself, Whyman meets a veterinary professor and expert in pig emotion, as well as a spirited hill farmer whose world revolves around hogs and sows. 
  Packed with fascinating research and delightful anecdotes, this entertaining and informative celebration of all things porcine covers everything from evolution, behaviour and communication to friendship, loyalty and broken hearts – uncovering a surprising notion of family along the way. 
  In The Unexpected Genius of Pigs, Matt Whyman delves into the world of pig husbandry, exploring the science and ethology behind these surprisingly intelligent animals. From their playful nature to their single-minded determination, Whyman paints a vivid picture of life on the farm, where agriculture and zoology intersect in unexpected ways. 
  For fans of Damian Hall (In It for the Long Run), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), Richard Askwith (Unbreakable), Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), and Kim Smith (Enjoy Your Life).

  A Sense of Self - Memory the...

  A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. This process shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behavior, and feeding our imagination.Psychiatrist Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experience are interwoven. In this rich, fascinating exploration, she asks, among other things: Why can memories feel so real? How are our sensations and perceptions connected with them? Why is place so important in memory? Are there such things as "true" and "false" memories? And, above all, what happens when the process of memory is disrupted by mental illness? O'Keane uses the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain, offering a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.Drawing on poignant accounts that include her own experiences, as well as what we can learn from insights in literature and fairytales and the latest neuroscientific research, O'Keane reframes our understanding of the extraordinary puzzle that is the human brain and how it changes during its growth from birth to adolescence and old age.
