Summary

Antarctic Meteorites explores how space rocks found in Antarctica provide unprecedented insights into our solar system's origins. These meteorites, fragments of asteroids and planets, are uniquely concentrated in Antarctica due to the continent's glacial dynamics and unique climate. The book elucidates how these "space rocks" inform planetary science and cosmochemistry, offering a deep dive into understanding planet formation.

 
The book begins by introducing meteorites and Antarctic geography, then progresses to explain why Antarctica is an ideal hunting ground, focusing on glacial processes and meteorite stranding surfaces. It then examines specific meteorite types like chondrites and iron meteorites, illustrating how they contribute to our understanding of the solar system's age and composition.

 
The book also details the history of meteorite collection, highlighting the scientific techniques and international collaborations involved. Antarctic Meteorites reveals that the icy continent acts like a natural collector, preserving these celestial objects for millennia. By analyzing these meteorites, scientists gain invaluable data, comparable to ground truth for remote observations of space. This organized and accessible approach makes the book an engaging read for anyone interested in Earth sciences, planetary science, and the mysteries of our solar system.

    Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep. 
The Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of Calming Rain, Distant Thunder and the Gentle Tones of Classical Music. 
Program Two: 10 hours of just the sounds of Calming Rain and Distant Thunder without the classical music. 
The classical musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include mellow arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of "Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."

    Sometimes, looking at your past can give you the strength to move forward. As the classic symptoms of Parkinsons disease began to take control of Simon's life, he became a shadow of his former self. After months of fighting to keep the disease in check, Simon finally found the strength to tell his family and even managed to book an appointment with a neurologist. Sadly, at a time when he needed an experienced health care professional to help him fight his corner, what he got was a cold, uncaring man who clearly had no time for his situation. However, his initial assessment proved to be 100% accurate; at just 36 years of age, Simon was told he had Parkinsons disease. The desire to produce a written account of his life for his immediate family and friends led to A Life Worth Living. Ingram looks back at his life, often with humour and pathos, and decides that the way to keep going is to appreciate the life he has led. The only way to fight is to appreciate what battles he has already fought and won. After all, what else makes a life worth living? Ingram's first-hand account of his life from his early childhood to teen years to his first signs of the debilitating disease give an insider's look at not just a 'disease' but a man.

    From the beloved host of NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, moving tales of the marvelous animals who have crossed his path. 
 
Scott Simon’s household does not make much distinction between humans and other animals. Whether two legged or four, flesh-covered, fur-covered, feathered, or gilled―everyone is family. Today, the beloved radio host lives with the haiku-writing and absolument charmant French poodle Daisy; the daringly audacious foster cat Gato Blanco; and the energetic, cage-escaping hamster Bagel, who was almost Gato’s meal. And that’s just the start. In Ulysses S. Cat and Other Animals I Have Known, Simon warmly philosophizes on the unforgettable and utterly ordinary but enduring moments in the remarkable relationships between species, along with their joys, worries, love, and humor. From a cat who escaped the British Embassy―Simon had to promise she’d keep her accent―to street dogs during Sarajevo’s siege, to a series of beta fish all named Salman Fishdie, this enchanting work is a profusion of exuberant memories and musings on a life spent in animal company.

    Not a technical guide on snowboarding but, rather, a very personal approach to how to think about mountains, snow, and adventure, The Art of Shralpinism reflects the remarkable journey of snowboarding superstar Jeremy Jones. Drawing on the hundreds of journals he has kept over the years, Jones offers intriguing snapshots of time and place that include his own on-the-slope stories and white-out moments, as well as those of other prominent adventurers such as Jimmy Chin, Zahan Billimoria, and Christina Lusti. 
 
 
 
Shralpinism is a compendium of lessons hard won: quick tips, sound advice, and impactful stories. Learn which aspects of avalanche training are most crucial to absorb, ways to anticipate slope behavior or recognize clean lines, how to cut a cornice or develop safety protocols, how to build a fitness routine, the art of the turn, and keys to developing terrain and skills progression. Jones discusses the importance of mentors, the necessity and intensity of practice, the nature of risk, and the shape of failure. 
 
 
 
But at its heart, The Art of Shralpinism revels in the power of experience, the impact of stoke, and the beauty that underscores all outdoor adventure.
