  If you're a woman living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've likely sensed your uniqueness from an early age. Growing up, societal norms, expectations, and learning environments subtly communicated which behaviors, thinking patterns, and work styles were deemed acceptable or frowned upon. These messages, pervasive in media, classrooms, and conversations, shaped your perception of self and others. 
  While ADHD is often associated with children, its effects can persist into adulthood, presenting distinct challenges in various aspects of life. Women, in particular, contend with societal norms that may clash with their innate traits, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. 
  This guide sheds light on how ADHD manifests in adults and offers insights into recognizing its symptoms in yourself or a loved one. Key topics covered include: 
  Contrasts between childhood and adult ADHD 
  Diagnosing and assessing ADHD, along with associated risks and benefits 
  Social obstacles faced by women with ADHD 
  Exploring whether ADHD diminishes with age 
  Non-medical interventions for managing symptoms 
  Considering the impact of sexual activity on individuals with ADHD 
  And a host of other related subjects 
  For those seeking effective strategies to navigate life with ADHD and reclaim control, this audiobook serves as an invaluable resource.

  Nuclear Revolution - Powering...

  “Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.” — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
  		 
  Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world’s population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it.
  		 
  Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.
  		 
  Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.
  		 
  Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.
  		 
  Nuclear Revolution describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.

  It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
  On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
  In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
  When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?

  Egyptian Legends and Folktales -...

  In ancient Egyptian mythology, the creation of the world was a profound and mystical event, explained through various narratives rooted in different regions. These myths aimed to answer fundamental questions about existence, the origins of the gods, and humanity's place within the universe. Among the most significant are the myths from Heliopolis, Hermopolis, and Memphis, each offering a unique perspective on creation. 
  The Ennead of Heliopolis tells the story of creation centered around Atum, the first god, who emerged from the chaotic waters of Nun. Atum, often depicted as a self-created deity, brought forth the twin deities Shu, god of air, and Tefnut, goddess of moisture, by spitting or coughing them out. These two then gave birth to Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess. From their union came Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys, forming the Ennead, a group of nine deities. This myth emphasizes the power of creation through divine will and the subsequent emergence of order from chaos. 
  In Hermopolis, the Ogdoad myth presents a different version of creation. Here, eight primordial deities existed in male and female pairs, representing elements like darkness, water, and chaos. These pairs were Amun and Amaunet, Heh and Hauhet, Kek and Kauket, and Nun and Naunet. They resided in the watery abyss before merging their powers to create a primordial mound, from which the sun god Ra emerged, illuminating the world. This story highlights the collaboration of fundamental forces to bring forth light and life.

  The Corpse That Won World War II...

  Deception has always played a crucial role in warfare. From ancient times to modern conflicts, misleading the enemy has proven to be as effective as brute force. World War II was no exception, as both the Allies and the Axis powers relied heavily on espionage, misinformation, and psychological tactics to outmaneuver one another. Among these deceptions, one of the most remarkable and audacious was Operation Mincemeat—a plan so bizarre and daring that it seemed like something out of a spy novel.  
    
  By 1943, the tides of the war were turning, but victory was far from certain. The Allies needed a way to gain the upper hand against Hitler’s forces, particularly in the Mediterranean. Their goal was to launch a massive invasion of Sicily, a strategic island controlled by the Axis. However, they knew the Germans would expect such an attack, and without an element of surprise, the operation could turn into a disastrous bloodbath. British intelligence had to find a way to convince Hitler that the invasion was happening elsewhere, leading the Germans to divert their troops and resources away from Sicily.  
    
  This was the challenge that led to the creation of Operation Mincemeat, a plan conceived by British intelligence officers Charles Cholmondeley and Ewen Montagu. Their idea was simple in theory but incredibly complex in execution: they would take a dead body, dress it up as a fictitious British officer, plant fake documents on it, and drop it off the coast of Spain, where German agents were known to operate. The goal was to make the Germans believe they had stumbled upon top-secret Allied plans revealing an invasion of Greece and Sardinia instead of Sicily. If the ruse worked, it could save countless lives and change the course of the war.
