We humans are a strange bunch. We have self-awareness and yet often act on impulses that remain hidden. How did we get here? What is to become of us? To these age-old questions, science has in recent years brought powerful tools and reams of data, and in this audiobook, Becoming Human, we look at what this data has to tell us about who we are.

What if instead of being victims of our heredity, we could rewrite the script of our lives through the energy of our beliefs? In the past, we've been taught that living beings are like machines run by biochemicals and DNA, explains Dr. Bruce H. Lipton. What we now know is that our entire biology...

La ciencia de los psicodélicos ha tomado muchísima velocidad en los últimos 20 años, con descubrimientos sobre sus potenciales terapéuticos y la exploración de la experiencia humana. En este audiolibro se cuentan varias historias asociadas a los psicodélicos más utilizados, haciendo ver sus luces y también sus sombras.

inguine gehören zu den beliebtesten Tieren auf dem Globus, ihre Fangemeinde ist riesig und ihr Abbild begegnet uns überall. Ihre auffällige Erscheinung hat offensichtlich etwas Unwiderstehliches: Sie tragen ein einprägsames schwarz-weißes Federkleid, können zwar nicht fliegen, aber haben einen liebenswert-komischen Watschelgang. Bergab rutschen sie gern auf dem Bauch. Unbeeindruckt von Schnee und Eis, Sturm und Kälte ziehen sie in denkbar unwirtlichen Regionen ihren Nachwuchs auf.

Topics explored in this dialogue include: how you can address the greatest challenge of our times, the role of the arts in deep ecology, how the shift from linear thinking to systems thinking in the sciences affects us now and in the future, understanding the complexity of living systems and life itself, why creativity is the driving force of evolution, what religion and deep ecology have in common, what's really behind the information age, and the mathematics of complexity.

Welcome to the hidden, squirming world of parasites—some of the most misunderstood creatures with whom we share the Earth (and our bodies). "Astonishing, eye-opening, and inspiring." —Chloe Dalton, author of Raising Hare There is the tapeworm, which can grow 120 feet in length within the gut...

In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild.

Beneath our feet lies a world of farmers, builders, soldiers, nurses, and explorers. In Life Among the Ants, Vance Randolph offers an engaging introduction to the remarkable biology and social organization of one of nature’s most successful insects. Beginning with the ant’s anatomy, senses...

The image most of us have of whalers includes harpoons and intentional trauma. Yet eating commercially caught seafood leads to whales’ entanglement and slow death in rope and nets, and the global shipping routes that bring us readily available goods often lead to death by collision. We—all of us—are whalers, marine scientist and veterinarian Michael J. Moore contends. But we do not have to be.

Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit aim of our individual and collective striving. It governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies; it shapes the capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies. Growth is manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.
