  From a leading neurologist, neuroscientist and practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine, comes a rigorous scientific investigation of the healing power of sound, showing readers how they can use it to improve their mental and physical wellbeing. 
  Why does a baby’s cry instantaneously flood a mother’s body with a myriad of stress hormones? How can a song on the radio stir up powerful emotions, from joy to anger, regret to desire? Why does sound itself evoke such primal and deeply felt emotions? 
  A vibration that travels through air, water and solids, sound is produced by all matter, and is a fundamental part of every species’ survival. But there is a hidden power within sound that has only just begun to be investigated. Sound Medicine takes readers on a journey through the structure of the mouth, ears, and brain to understand how sound is translated from acoustic vibrations into meaningful neurological impulses. Renowned neurologist and Ayurvedic expert Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary explains how different types of sound impact the human body and brain uniquely, and explores the physiological effects of sound vibration, from altering mood to healing disease. 
  Blending ancient wisdom with modern science, Dr. Chaudhary traces the history of sound therapy and the use of specific mantras from previously unknown texts—traced back to the Siddhas, a group of enlightened yogis who created a healing tradition that served as the precursor to Ayurvedic medicine—to explain the therapeutic application of sounds for a wide range of conditions. Sound Medicine offers practical, step-by-step lessons for using music and mantras, whether you’re a beginner or searching for a more advanced practice, to improve your health in body, mind, and spirit. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  A note from the creator: “I spent months living in a bustling residential neighborhood in the city of Amsterdam, far from the tourist crowds. From a large third-floor window, I grew deeply attached to the city’s nonstop sounds - foreign voices drifting past, youthful laughter, hundreds of bicycles riding on by, trams tinkering along, street crossing beeps, and repetitive traffic humming. Since I left, I realized that part of my love for the city was simply the comfort of those sounds. I’ll never tire of them and the nostalgia they bring. I hope these city soundscapes bring you the same calm and quiet sense of safety that they invoke in me.” 
  Maybe you live in a city? Or perhaps you left long-ago and you miss the comfort of its constant, soothing hums? 
  Each chapter in this audiobook is crafted from real-world recordings, layered and mastered by a professional audio engineer who has previously worked on major video-game sound projects, ensuring ultra-high sound quality and precision.

  The Function of Reason

  Alfred North Whitehead

  Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being antiscientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain).It is hard to find a contemporary thinker with a better perspective on the nature and role of natural science than Whitehead, who, with Bertrand Russell, published Principia Mathematica in 1910; who taught logic and mathematics at Trinity College of Cambridge University; who taught philosophy of science at University College London; and who was a professor of philosophy at Harvard University beginning in 1924. Whitehead's cosmology is far from antiscientific, but he does explain why scientific method and technological practice alone are not able to provide a comprehensive understanding of the full range of human thought and experience. This work explains what we must do to achieve such a comprehensive understanding.© Agora Publications
