    Summary of Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind explores the benefits that psychedelics can provide, both for those suffering from mental illness and for those trying to cultivate new perspectives and habits. Before these drugs were prohibited, there was an extensive history of research into their effects in North America and Europe, and studies that utilize lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and magic mushrooms continue today.

    How this 4-point method can help you ace the “slipperiest” part of the CNA Exam. 
    Being able to recite the skills of a nursing assistant doesn’t make demonstrating them any easier. That’s why so many candidates struggle to pass the CNA exam. 
    Because even if you’ve completely memorized all the steps and procedures, putting them into action while being evaluated is a completely different story. 
    That’s where this study guide can help. It incorporates a special technique called the “P.A.C.E.” Method that helps candidates master each and every skill in the CNA exam, both written and demonstrated. 
    Inside the audiobook, you’ll discover: 
    ●   How the 4-point P.A.C.E. Method makes it easier to practice and apply common nursing aide skills without needing a crib sheet 
    ●   5 full-length practice tests featuring 300 different questions based on real CNA Exam questions 
    ●   The 6 principles of physical care every nursing assistant should know by heart, and how each one applies to the various basic nursing skills 
    ●   A slight tweak in how you perform your skills that can help ensure you don’t get mistakenly penalized during the demonstration 
    And much more! 
    With 5 full-length practice tests and dozens of extra practice questions, you’ll have a full grasp of what to expect on each section of the exam. You’ll also discover how to use the P.A.C.E. Method to guide your way through the skills portion. 
    If you want to pass your exam and finally become a Certified Nursing Assistant, then you need this audiobook today!

    Naturalis Historia (Latin for "Natural History") is an encyclopedia published circa AD 77-79 by Pliny the Elder. It is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman empire to the modern day and purports to cover the entire field of ancient knowledge, based on the best authorities available to Pliny. The work became a model for all later encyclopedias in terms of the breadth of subject matter examined, the need to reference original authors, and a comprehensive index list of the contents. The scheme of his great work is vast and comprehensive, being nothing short of an encyclopedia of learning and of art so far as they are connected with nature or draw their materials from nature. The work divides neatly into the organic world of plants and animals, and the realm of inorganic matter, although there are frequent digressions in each section. He is especially interested in not just describing the occurrence of plants, animals and insects, but also their exploitation (or abuse) by man, especially Romans. The description of metals and minerals is particularly detailed, and valuable for the history of science as being the most extensive compilation still available from the ancient world. (Summary from Wikipedia)This second volume includes books six to ten, covering the following subjects:Book 6 - An account of countries, nations, seas, towns, havens, mountains, rivers, distances, and peoples who now exist or formerly existedBook 7 - Man, his birth, his organization and the invention of the artsBook 8 - The nature of the terrestrial animalsBook 9 - The natural history of fishesBook 10 - The natural history of birds

    There are roughly 6,600 wild dogs left in Africa yet they have cast such a spell on top wildlife photographer and naturalist Jocelin Kagan that she is determined to help save them. 
    If left to their own devices, they are more than capable of thriving, as this sumptuous photographic natural history shows. Jocelin has called in world experts to add their latest findings about these resourceful, graceful and highly skilled family groups.
    Nomadic predators whose territories range thousands of kilometres, they hunt co-operatively, preying on small herbivores. Non-confrontational, they form complex bonds as this book reveals.
    Now restricted to small populations and threatened by some shoot-to-kill policies, habitat fragmentation, diseases from domestic dogs, climate change and snares, as well as natural predation from hyenas and lions, Africa's wild dogs will be supported by all the royalties from this book.

    The world's oceans are changing at a drastic pace. In response, the people who know the ocean most intimately are taking action for the sake of our shared future. Community scientists track species in California tidepools. Researchers dive into the waters around Sydney to replant kelp forests. Scientists and First Nations communities collaborate to restore clam gardens in the Pacific Northwest.In At Every Depth, the oceanographer Tessa Hill and the science journalist Eric Simons profile these and other efforts to understand and protect marine environments, taking listeners to habitats from shallow tidepools to the deep sea. They delve into the many human connections to the ocean—how people live with and make their living from the waters—journeying to places as far-flung as coral reefs, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and the Arctic and Antarctic poles. At Every Depth shares the stories of people from all walks of life, including scientists, coastal community members, Indigenous people, shellfish farmers, and fisheries workers. It brings together varied viewpoints, showing how scientists' research and local and Indigenous knowledge can complement each other to inform a more sustainable future. This book offers a narrative perspective on the changing oceans, letting us see how our relationships to the oceans are changing too.
