Sinopse

"Chocolate Journey" explores the captivating history of chocolate, tracing its path from a bitter, sacred drink in Mesoamerica to the globally beloved confection it is today. The book reveals how chocolate's story reflects global exchange, cultural adaptations, and economic shifts throughout history. Early chapters detail the religious significance of cacao among the Maya and Aztec, highlighting its role in rituals and social structures, while later sections examine the mechanization of chocolate production during the Industrial Revolution and the ethical implications of labor and sourcing. The book uniquely presents chocolate's evolution as a microcosm of global processes, challenging simplified narratives of commodity history. For example, the book highlights how Europeans changed the original beverage. By drawing on archaeological reports, colonial-era documents, and business records, "Chocolate Journey" provides a comprehensive account of chocolate's multifaceted role in society, including current explorations of sustainability and fair trade practices. The book progresses chronologically, guiding readers through distinct phases of chocolate's history, from its ancient origins to the modern industry. This approach allows for a detailed examination of chocolate's cultural, economic, and environmental impacts, making it valuable for those interested in food history, cultural studies, and the global economy.

    From the conceptualizer of glimmers—prompts to help you savor the micromoments of joy and well-being in your day. 
     
     
     
    First coined in Deb Dana's book Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, "glimmers" are the micromoments in your day that spark a sense of joy. They can be anything from catching a view of the skyline to cuddling with your pet. Glimmers tell your nervous system that you are safe and okay in the world, thus shifting your system's response from defense to calm. When we notice and name glimmers, we train our nervous system to be open to more of these moments—expanding our overall sense of well-being. 
     
     
     
    This beautiful journal provides a framework for listeners to name and savor their glimmers. Expertly crafted prompts encourage listeners to notice various types of glimmers that they might otherwise be unaware of—such as glimmers in nature or in the arts, "every day" glimmers, social glimmers, and even the range of glimmer "flavors." Glimmers Journal is for anyone looking to build a foundation of wellness and regulation.

    While there are many books upon the subject of sea life, there are few that can compare with Two Years Before the Mast. It is the story of a sailor's life from the forecastle, not a captain, nor a passenger, but a regular hand. The book was a great favorite with the jack tar of Dana's day, and two thousand copies are said to have been sold to Liverpool sailors in a single day. Even those who haven't the faintest idea what reefing topsail is, or which is starboard and which larboard, will find it an engaging story of an era long past told in simple narrative style.

    In the US, more than half of households have a pet—usually more than one. They’re usually considered members of the family, and some of us even call them our “furry children.” The strength of the human-pet bond tells us as much or more about ourselves as it does about our pets, and in this audiobook, we look at why dogs and cats behave the way they do and what makes our bond with them so strong.
