Sinossi

Extreme Cold explores the science behind life in Earth's coldest regions, focusing on the interplay between Biology, Earth Sciences, and Geography. It highlights how organisms, from microbes to mammals, have evolved remarkable biological adaptations to thrive in subzero environments, such as antifreeze proteins in fish that prevent their blood from freezing. Within the context of climate change, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding these extreme environments and the unique challenges they pose to human survival.

 
The book examines the physiological impacts of extreme cold, detailing how hypothermia and frostbite affect the human body. It also delves into the atmospheric and geographic conditions that create polar regions, differentiating between the Arctic and Antarctic.

 
Progressing from the physical properties of cold environments to the human element and then to the exploration of biological adaptations, Extreme Cold provides a comprehensive look at how life endures and even flourishes in these harsh climates.

    Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
     
     
     
    Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
     
     
     
    This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

    This audiobook is produced in collaboration with a qualified hypnotherapist and medical professional.  
    Sleep hypnosis is a technique that uses hypnotic suggestions to help people fall asleep more easily and improve the quality of their sleep. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness where the individual is more open to suggestions and more receptive to positive changes. Sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to help people overcome insomnia and other sleep disorders. 
    Sleep hypnosis works by using guided imagery and positive affirmations to help the mind relax and let go of any negative thoughts or worries that may be preventing sleep. A hypnotist or recorded audio program will guide the listener through a series of relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help the body release tension and prepare for sleep. 
    Some studies have suggested that sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. One study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that participants who underwent sleep hypnosis had better sleep quality and felt more refreshed upon waking than those who did not receive the treatment. 
    In conclusion, sleep hypnosis can be a useful tool for those struggling with sleep issues. With the right guidance and techniques, sleep hypnosis may be a useful tool for achieving a better night's sleep.

    The Lost Family - How DNA...

    “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
     
    You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
     
    In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
     
    “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
     
    “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review 
     
    “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

    Obscurantism in power When...

    Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
    The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
    The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.
