  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 Biology of Wonder -...

  A new way of understanding our place in the web of life from a scholar praised for his “graceful prose” (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  The disconnection between humans and nature is perhaps one of the most fundamental problems faced by our species today. This schism is arguably the root cause of most of the environmental catastrophes unraveling around us. Until we come to terms with the depths of our alienation, we will continue to fail to understand that what happens to nature also happens to us. 
   
  In The Biology of Wonder Andreas Weber proposes a new approach to the biological sciences that puts the human back in nature. He argues that feelings and emotions, far from being superfluous to the study of organisms, are the very foundation of life. From this basic premise flows the development of a "poetic ecology" which intimately connects our species to everything that surrounds us—showing that subjectivity and imagination are prerequisites of biological existence. 
   
  Written by a leader in the emerging fields of biopoetics and biosemiotics, The Biology of Wonder demonstrates that there is no separation between us and the world we inhabit, and in so doing it validates the essence of our deep experience. By reconciling science with meaning, expression, and emotion, this landmark work brings us to a crucial understanding of our place in the rich and diverse framework of life—a revolution for biology as groundbreaking as the theory of relativity for physics. 
   
  “Grounded in science, yet eloquently narrated, this is a groundbreaking book. Weber’s visionary work provides new insight into human/nature interconnectedness and the dire consequences we face by remaining disconnected.” —Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods

  Geology - The Story of Earth

  Kate Zeigler

  Geology is often thought of as simply the study of rocks. In reality, geology is the study of our planet on all scales, from microscopic to planet-wide, and ranging in time from almost instantaneous events, like earthquakes, to the glacially slow motion of the tectonic plates. Everything we know about our world from a geologic perspective is based on information locked into the rock record and the job of a geologist is to tease out that story through a wide variety of observations. This insightful course explores a range of topics that help to tell the story of Earth and to explain the discipline of Geology and the role of the geologist.  Individual lectures explore subjects such as minerals, the three different rock types and how they relate through the rock cycle, as well as how the interior of the earth is divided and the processes that occur there. Further lectures explore geologic time and how we sort out the history of any given sequence of rocks, how rocks deform and how plate tectonics works, and many processes related to surface water and groundwater. Geology has grown to become a very broad field with numerous areas of specialization, but this course provides a substantial overview of some of the most important features and processes that affect us as we interact with our planet and as it interacts with us.

  The Triumph of Doubt - Dark...

  Well-heeled American corporations have long had a financial stake in undermining scientific consensus and manufacturing uncertainty. In The Triumph of Doubt, former Obama and Clinton official David Michaels details how corrupt science becomes public policy—and where it's happening today. 
  Opioids. Concussions. Obesity. Climate Change. America is a country of everyday crises—big, long-spanning problems that persist despite their toll on the country's health. And for every case of government inaction on one of these issues, there is a set of familiar, doubtful refrains: The science is unclear. The data are inconclusive. Regulation is unjustified. It's a slippery slope. Is it? 
  The Triumph of Doubt traces the ascendance of science-for-hire in American life and government, from its origins in the tobacco industry in the 1950s to its current manifestations across government, public policy, and even professional sports. Amid fraught conversations of "alternative facts" and "truth decay," The Triumph of Doubt wields its unprecedented access to shine a light on the machinations and scope of manipulated science in American society. It is an urgent, revelatory work, one that promises to reorient conversations around science and the public good for the foreseeable future.
