    For centuries, it was assumed that our universe was static. Then, in the late 1920s, astronomers made a startling new discovery—from Earth, the light of distant galaxies appeared to be red. This meant those galaxies were receding from us, and a revolutionary realization was born: the universe is expanding. In The Red Limit, Timothy Ferris recounts the fascinating tale of this discovery, its far-reaching ramifications, and the passionately competitive astronomers who charted the past, present, and future of the cosmos.

    Backache - and How To Deal With It!

    Backache has become one of the most pervasive of all ailments on a worldwide basis. This is a shame since backache that has not been caused by single impact trauma is largely preventable, as it is the result of ignorance. 
    Backache has been given status as a watchword for scammer, since it is so difficult to disprove that some people have used it as an excuse for time off work, when they were really quite fit. This is a shame, since it tarnishes all true sufferers of back pain with the slur or malingerer. 
    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and practical. The information in this ebook on how to cure backache and related subjects is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

    Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
    Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
    Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
    Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).  
    This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. © 2018 Iain McGilchrist (P)
