Summary

The Hearing Mechanism explores the fascinating process of how we perceive sound, from the initial vibrations reaching our ears to the complex neural pathways that interpret these signals. It delves into the anatomy and physiology of the ear, emphasizing the crucial role of structures like the cochlea and hair cells in converting sound waves into electrical signals.

 
The book highlights the importance of understanding the auditory system, particularly given the prevalence of hearing loss and the potential for developing more effective treatments. One intriguing area covered involves echolocation, showcasing how different species have adapted their hearing for survival.

 
This book presents a holistic view of hearing, integrating evolutionary biology, neurobiology, and clinical audiology. It begins with the fundamentals of sound and the ear's anatomy, progressing to the biomechanics of sound transmission and the neural processing of auditory information. Later chapters explore the evolution of hearing across various species, the processing of complex sounds like speech, and concludes with a discussion of hearing disorders and their treatments. This approach offers a synthesized perspective appealing to a broad audience, from students to researchers, interested in the science of hearing.

The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
 
 
 
Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
 
 
 
From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

IFR Flight Theory

Facundo Conforti

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Carrying out a successful instrument flight not only requires the technical and operational skills to maneuver an aircraft in conditions of reduced visibility or adverse weather, but also requires a set of theoretical knowledge and flight techniques that help minimize the margin of error and try to ensure the success of an instrumental flight. 
In this new book of the most successful Aeronautical Library in America, we will try to cover all the theoretical and operational technical content to provide each reader with the necessary tools with which they can develop a safe and efficient instrumental flight. 
Flight physiology, basic and operational theoretical concepts of instrumental flights, basic regulatory concepts and a whole series of recommended techniques to carry out this type of flight without losing sight of the main objective, to operate the aircraft safely. 
Instrument flight theory is one of the main subjects of the commercial pilot career since it forms one of the most solid pillars that a pilot in training must have.

Expand - Stretching the Future...

Christian Bason, Jens Martin...

With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award-winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take listeners beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. 
 
 
 
From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. 
 
  
 
With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. 
 
 
 
Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. 
 
 
 
The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.

River of Lakes - A Journey on...

Bill Belleville

First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. 
 
 
 
In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.

Harmonic Healing: Transform...

Soothing Solfeggio Frequencies

The energy in our bodies is connected to the unlimited energy of the universe itself. When we are stressed and living with chronic anxiety, our autonomic nervous system (ANS) is usually out of balance, disconnected, and stuck in a 'fight or flight' mode. This can cause a range of long-term physical and mental health problems.

The harmonic frequencies in this premium audiobook are specifically designed to calm the autonomic nervous system and put you on a 'rest, relax and repair' mode where the mind can still and the body can begin to heal. This is especially good for alleviating anxiety, overthinking, insomnia, and chronic pain.

As you listen, allow the pure tones to penetrate deep into your consciousness, facilitating a profound emotional cleansing and spiritual awakening. This audiobook is an invitation to let go of the negative vibrations that hold you back and step into a more mindful and centered version of yourself. Quality headphones are highly recommended for best results. Thanks for listening and your support!
