  Foundations of Ecology -...

  Assembled here for the first time in one volume are forty classic papers that have laid the foundations of modern ecology. Whether by posing new problems, demonstrating important effects, or stimulating new research, these papers have made substantial contributions to an understanding of ecological processes, and they continue to influence the field today. The papers span nearly nine decades of ecological research, from 1887 on, and are organized in six sections: foundational papers, theoretical advances, synthetic statements, methodological developments, field studies, and ecological experiments. Selections range from Connell's elegant account of experiments with barnacles to Watt's encyclopedic natural history, from a visionary exposition by Grinnell of the concept of niche to a seminal essay by Hutchinson on diversity. Six original essays by contemporary ecologists and a historian of ecology place the selections in context and discuss their continued relevance to current research. This combination of classic papers and fresh commentaries makes Foundations of Ecology both a convenient reference to papers often cited today and an essential guide to the intellectual and conceptual roots of the field. Published with the Ecological Society of America.

  Why Matter Doesn't Matter:...

  Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter — a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness.  
   
  Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental — and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality. 
   
  Avery provides a new lens for understanding the greatest enigmas of physics, helping listeners transcend the limitation of seeing the universe as purely material and question the foundations upon which our current paradigms rest. 
  In the final chapter, Avery invites listeners to embark on an experiential journey — a practical approach to directly experiencing the dimensional nature of perception and reality as rooted in consciousness itself.  
   
  Whether you're a curious newcomer, a student of physics, or a spiritual seeker, Why Matter Doesn't Matter offers a paradigm-shifting exploration into the very fabric of existence, shedding new light on the mysteries of the universe and our role within it.

  Chorology - Geographical...

  Chorology, the study of the geographical distribution of organisms, offers crucial insights into how life is spread across the planet. This scientific discipline examines the patterns, processes, and factors that determine where species occur and why they are found in particular regions. From dense tropical rainforests to arid deserts and remote island ecosystems, chorology helps explain the complex relationships between organisms and their environments. Understanding these distributions is essential not only for ecological research but also for conservation efforts, climate change studies, and predicting future biodiversity trends. 
  The origins of chorology date back to early explorations and observations of naturalists who noted how plants and animals varied across regions. Over time, with advancements in biology, geography, and technology, chorology has developed into a distinct field of study. It now integrates concepts from ecology, evolution, geology, and climatology to provide a comprehensive understanding of how species disperse, adapt, and thrive in diverse environments. By identifying distribution patterns, chorologists can trace the historical movements of species, understand their evolutionary relationships, and predict how current and future environmental changes might alter these patterns. 
  One of the fundamental aspects of chorology is recognizing that species distributions are influenced by a combination of environmental, biological, and historical factors. Climate, topography, soil composition, and availability of resources play significant roles in determining where species can survive and reproduce. Additionally, interactions such as competition, predation, and symbiosis shape the presence or absence of species in particular areas.

  TV Lobotomy The Scientific Truth...

  "TV unleashes the imagination and feeds intelligence." • "A child deprived of TV risks social isolation." • "TV dumbs you down." • "TV makes you obese." It seems that everything—and its opposite—has already been said about TV. But what is it really? How can we distinguish between the radical "No TV" of some and the supposedly entertaining virtues touted by others? Michel Desmurget, a doctor in neuroscience, has sifted through and synthesized thousands of research articles published over the last fifty years in the most rigorous international journals. The conclusion is unequivocal—we must stop watching television for good, whatever the program. All content, even that meant to teach, can never come close to any other learning method. The data is clear—television viewing is detrimental to school performance. For a child in elementary school, for example, every hour spent daily watching television increases the likelihood that he or she will one day leave the school system without any qualifications. For specialists, there is no doubt that television has a negative influence, not only on intellectual development but also on behavior. Thus, certain eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) are related to a frantic consumption of—television programs! In short, watching television has an impact on our life expectancy. However, the harmful impact of this risk is largely underestimated, because of the large sector of the public exposed to television (more than 85% of Western households have at least one television set), and because of a debate on the subject that has become inaudible and confused. Moreover, the results of the research initiated by the big media groups on the subject remain "proprietary," i.e., closed to the general public. Believing that we is facing a real public health problem, Michel Desmurget wants to act as a responsible scientist—with a clear, concise and rigorously referenced book, the message cannot go unnoticed. Michel Desmurget is a doctor of neuropsychology. He attended several major American universities (MIT, Emory, UCSF) and is now a research director at INSERM in cognitive neuroscience. He is particularly interested in the problems of brain organization and plasticity. He is the author of the book TV Lobotomy (Max Milo, 2022), which is based in part on his personal history. Exasperated by having to constantly justify the choice not to have television at home—and to prevent his children from having access to it—and not to be seen as a sociopath in the eyes of those around him, he has done a massive job to argue his point. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
