Title: The Secret Language of Cells: What Biological Conversations Tell Us About the Brain-Body Connection, the Future of Medicine, and Life Itself Author: Jon Lieff Md Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: September 22, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Your cells are talking about you. Right now, both your inner and outer worlds are abuzz with chatter among living cells of every possible kind—from those in your body and brain to those in the environment around you. From electrical alerts to chemical codes, the greatest secret of modern biology, hiding in plain sight, is that all of life’s activity boils down to one thing: conversation. While cells are commonly considered the building block of living things, it is actually the communication between cells that brings us to life, controlling our bodies and brains, determining whether we are healthy or sick, and directly influencing how we think, feel, and behave. In The Secret Language of Cells, doctor and neuroscientist Jon Lieff lets us listen in on these conversations, and reveals their significance for everything from mental health to cancer. He explains the surprising science of how very different cells—bacteria and brain cells, blood cells and viruses—all speak the same language. This overarching principle has been long overlooked because scientific journals use impenetrable jargon that makes it hard to be understood across disciplines, much less by the general public. Lieff presents a fascinating and accessible look into cellular communication science—a groundbreaking and comprehensive exploration of this biological phenomenon. In these pages, discover the intriguing lives of cells as they ask questions, get answers, give feedback, gather information, call for each other, and make complex decisions. During infections, immune T-cells tell brain cells that we should “feel sick” and lie down. Cancer cells warn their community about immune and microbe attacks. Gut cells talk with microbes to determine which are friends and which are enemies, and microbes talk with each other and with much more complicated human cells in ways that determine which medicines work and which will fail. With applications for immunity, chronic pain, weight loss, depression, cancer treatment, and virtually every aspect of health and biology, cellular communication is revolutionizing our understanding not just of disease, but of life itself. The Secret Language of Cells is required reading for anyone interested in following the conversation.

Title: The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality Author: Kathryn Paige Harden Narrator: Katherine Fenton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton makes a provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society. Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.

Title: Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity Author: Nicklas Brendborg Narrator: Joe Leat Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: This eye-opening book offers a "clear and captivating" (Dr. Kris Verburgh​)scientific deep dive into how plants and animals have already unlocked the secrets to immortality–and the lessons they hold for us all.  Recent advances in medicine and technology have expanded our understanding of aging across the animal kingdom, and our own timeless quest for the fountain of youth. Yet, despite modern humans living longer today than ever before, the public’s understanding of what is possible is limited to our species—until now. In this spunky, effervescent debut, the key to immortality is revealed to be a superpower within reach. With mind-bending stories from the natural world and our own, Jellyfish Age Backwards reveals lifespans we cannot imagine and physiological gifts that feel closer to magic than reality: - There is a Greenland shark that was 286 years old when the Titanic sank, and is currently 390, making it older than the United States. Scientists predict it will live for another 100 years. - Trees and lobsters don’t “age” in the way we know it. They simply get bigger and bigger. - There are forms of radiation that have been known to actually increase the lifespans of certain species, from tortoises to naked mole-rats. - There's a species of jellyfish, the size of a fingernail, that can age forwards, then, when threatened, age backwards and begin the process all over again. Mixing cutting-edge research and stories from habitats all around the world, molecular biologist Nicklas Brendborg explores extended life cycles in all its varieties. Along the way, we meet a man who fasted for over a year; a woman who edited her own DNA; redwoods that survive thousands of years; and in the soil of Easter Island, the key to eternal youth. Jellyfish Age Backwards is a love letter to the immense power of nature, and what the immortal lives of many of earth's animals and plants can teach us about the secrets to longevity.

Title: [Spanish] - Un planeta de virus Author: Carl Zimmer Narrator: Luis García Márquez Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 8, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: 'Casi todo lo que usted siempre había querido saber, y un montón de cosas de las que seguramente preferiría no haberse enterado, sobre esos virus que tanto sufrimiento han causado a la humanidad.' —Forbes 'Carl Zimmer consigue, en apenas cien páginas, lo que a otros autores les cuesta hacer en quinientas: dar una nueva forma a nuestra comprensión de la realidad oculta en la existencia cotidiana. El pensamiento de Zimmer es conciso e iluminador.' —Booklist, reseña con estrella. 'Mientras escribo esto, a lo largo del año 2015, los científicos intentan adelantarse a las próximas pandemias. Nadie es capaz de predecir cuándo una cepa en particular llevará a cabo el salto, si acaso lo hará. Sin embargo, no estamos indefensos ante lo que la evolución pueda tenernos reservado. Contamos con recursos para contrarrestar la expansión de la gripe, como lavarnos las manos. Y los científicos están aprendiendo a fabricar vacunas más efectivas. Al menos, ya no tenemos que mirar hacia las estrellas en busca de protección.' —Carl Zimmer En esta breve pero sustanciosa historia, premiada por su excepcionalidad por la revista Choice, Carl Zimmer nos cuenta cómo los organismos más pequeños que la ciencia ha descubierto (y sobre cuya condición de 'seres vivos' no hay acuerdo), son capaces de ponerle freno a la humanidad entera. Y cuánto podemos aprender de la manera en que, en el pasado, ya los hemos derrotado. Solíamos estas más familiarizados con la gripe común, ahora sabemos un poco mejor qué otras cosas puede hacer un virus. Por ejemplo, que del cuerpo humano broten tantas verrugas que quien se ha contagiado parezca un árbol con corteza y raíces. Pero los virus han estado con nosotros durante tanto tiempo que, en parte, nos constituyen: el genoma humano contiene una gran cantidad de ADN de virus. Entretanto, los científicos siguen descubriendo nuevos tipos en todas partes: en el suelo, en los océanos y en cuevas a kilómetros de profundidad. Un planeta de virus presenta la investigación más reciente sobre cómo estos organismos dominan la vida en el planeta, eso que llamamos biosfera, cómo contribuyeron a sus primeras manifestaciones, cómo producen cada día nuevas enfermedades y cómo podemos aprovecharlos en nuestro beneficio. Un estudio fascinante que recorre amenazas como el Ébola y el MERS, y explica, entre otras muchas cuestiones, cómo el cambio climático puede provocar brotes incluso más mortales en el futuro.

Mantis shrimp have 16. In fact, their eyes seem to have more in common with satellite technology than with biological vision as we currently understand it. They have evolved to track movement with an acuity no other species can match by processing raw information; they may not 'see', in the human sense, at all. Marine molluscs called chitons have eyes which are made of stone. Scorpions appear to see with their entire bodies. It isn't only vision that differs from species to species - some animals also have senses we lack entirely. Knifefish navigate by electrical charge. An Immense World will take us on an insider's tour of the natural world by describing the biology, physics and chemistry animals use to perceive it. We may lack some of their senses, but our own super-sense lies in our ability to understand theirs. And in the face of the largest extinction event since the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, our only hope of saving other species is bound up with our ability to see what they see, and feel what they feel. © Ed Yong 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546555 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546555]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Amazing Truths: How Science and the Bible Agree Author: Michael Guillen Narrator: Michael Guillen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: December 14, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Does science discredit the Bible, God, religious faith? Absolutely not, says Dr. Michael Guillen, former Harvard physics instructor and Emmy-winning ABC News Science Editor. In Amazing Truths, he uses his entertaining, down-to-earth storytelling skills to reveal ten astonishing truths affirmed by both ancient Scripture and modern science that answer some of our biggest questions: - Can faith really move mountains? - Does absolute truth exist? - Are humans truly unique? - Is it possible to communicate with God? - How much about the universe do we actually know? - How could Jesus have been fully man and fully God? In Amazing Truths, Dr. Guillen explains that faith is not some outdated way of thinking. Faith is a necessary part of science, Christianity, and any intelligent, comprehensive, coherent worldview--vastly more powerful than even logic. Amazing Truths will expand your mind and bolster your faith. You will see for yourself what Dr. Guillen, a theoretical physicist and devout Christian, has discovered in a lifetime of serious exploration--that science and faith are not at odds. In fact, they're the ultimate power couple.

Title: The Memory Thief: And the Secrets behind How We Remember; A Medical Mystery Author: Lauren Aguirre Narrator: Lauren Aguirre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 20 minutes Release date: June 1, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The remarkable true story of a team of doctors who–through years of scientific sleuthing and observant care—discover a surprising connection between opioids and memory, one that holds promise and peril for any one of us. How could you lose your memory overnight, and what would it mean? The day neurologist Jed Barash sees the baffling brain scan of a young patient with devastating amnesia marks the beginning of a quest to answer those questions. First detected in a cluster of stigmatized opioid overdose victims in Massachusetts with severe damage to the hippocampus—the brain’s memory center—this rare syndrome reveals how the tragic plight of the unfortunate few can open the door to advances in medical science. After overcoming initial skepticism that investigating the syndrome is worth the effort—and that fentanyl is the likely culprit—Barash and a growing team of dedicated doctors explore the threat that people who take opioids chronically as prescribed to treat severe pain may gradually put their memories at risk. At the same time, they begin to grasp the potential for this syndrome to shed light on the most elusive memory thief of all—Alzheimer’s disease. Through the prism of this fascinating story, Aguirre goes on to examine how researchers tease out the fundamental nature of memory and the many mysteries still to be solved. Where do memories live? Why do we forget most of what happens in a day but remember some events with stunning clarity years later? How real are our memories? And what purpose do they actually serve? Perhaps the greatest mystery in The Memory Thief is why Alzheimer’s has evaded capture for a century even though it afflicts tens of millions around the world and lies in wait for millions more. Aguirre deftly explores this question and reveals promising new strategies and developments that may finally break the long stalemate in the fight against this dreaded disease. But at its core, Aguirre’s genre-bending and deeply-reported book is about paying attention to the things that initially don’t make sense—like the amnestic syndrome—and how these mysteries can move science closer to an ever-evolving version of the truth.

Title: [German] - Tausend und eine Macht - Marketing und moderne Hirnforschung (Ungekürzt) Author: Werner T. Fuchs Narrator: Martina Schaak-Kloepfer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: November 15, 2018 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Nachdem sich die moderne Hirnforschung in den letzten zwanzig Jahren rasant entwickelte, hat auch das Interesse an ihren Resultaten zugenommen. Was will der Mensch? Entscheidet er selbst? Oder ist er nur das Opfer chemischer und neuronaler Affekte? Das sind spannende Fragen, besonders für Werbung und Kommunikation. Wie nimmt der Mensch wahr? Und vor allem: Was nimmt er auf? Werner T. Fuchs beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit der Umsetzung moderner Hirnforschung ins Marketing. Seine These - inzwischen von der Hirnforschung untermauert - lautet: Der Mensch lernt durch Geschichten. Wer diese Erkenntnis in die Praxis einfließen lässt, wird sein Gegenüber besser erreichen. Fuchs hat zwölf leicht zu verstehende, unterhaltsame 'Werkzeuge' kreiert, die helfen, Kommunikation grundsätzlich neu zu verstehen und auf die Arbeitsweise des Gehirns abzustimmen. Und nebenbei ist das Hörbuch auch eine Referenz an den genialen französischen Geschichtenerzähler und Werber Jacques Séguéla. 'Eine große Geschichte mit vielen kleinen Geschichten über die Kunst der (Kunden-)Verführung. Das Buch ist ein Wegbereiter für mehr Gespür, wo überall im realistischen Leben schöne, starke und auch schwierige Gefühle, Bewertungen, Entscheidungen und Verhalten unbewusst steuern. - Thorsten Ströher 'Endlich ein Marketing-Buch aus der Praxis.' - Stéphanie Etrillard Werner T. Fuchs ist Marketing- und Werbeexperte sowie Inhaber einer Agentur für Neuromarketing im schweizerischen Zug. Er promovierte in Germanistik und Theologie, beschäftigt sich seit über 25 Jahren intensiv mit Hirnforschung und gibt seine Erfahrungen als Dozent und Referent gerne weiter. Zu seinen Kunden gehörten u. a. Medien- und Pharmaunternehmen, Banken sowie NGOs und KMUs. Werner T.

Title: The Language Game: How Improvisation Created Language and Changed the World Author: Morten H. Christiansen, Nick Chater Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 50 minutes Release date: February 22, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Forget the language instinct—this is the story of how we make up language as we go  Language is perhaps humanity’s most astonishing capacity—and one that remains poorly understood. In The Language Game, cognitive scientists Morten H. Christiansen and Nick Chater show us where generations of scientists seeking the rules of language got it wrong. Language isn’t about hardwired grammars but about near-total freedom, something like a game of charades, with the only requirement being a desire to understand and be understood. From this new vantage point, Christiansen and Chater find compelling solutions to major mysteries like the origins of languages and how language learning is possible, and to long-running debates such as whether having two words for “blue” changes what we see. In the end, they show that the only real constraint on communication is our imagination.

Title: Two Heads: A Graphic Exploration of How Our Brains Work with Other Brains Author: Alex Frith, Chris Frith, Uta Frith Narrator: Jon Culshaw Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 0 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: This “charming and addictively accessible introduction to neuroscience” (Steven Pinker) takes us on a highly entertaining tour through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain—from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists. Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year career. Here, in this “pleasing mix of wonder, genial humor, and humility” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), they tell the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration, and empathy. Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, the Friths delve into a wide range of complex concepts and explain them with humor and clarity. You’ll learn what it means to be a “social species,” explore what happens when we gather in groups, and discover how people behave in pairs—when we’re pitted against each other, versus when we work together. Is it better to surround yourself with people who are similar to yourself, or different? And, are two heads really better than one? Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads is a “magical book...[and] a fantastically fun way to learn about the brain, the mind, and the lives of two of the world’s most brilliant scientists” (Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, author of Inventing Ourselves).

Title: Pump: A Natural History of the Heart Author: Bill Schutt Narrator: Lj Gasner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 50 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: "Fascinating . . . Surprising entertainment, combining deep learning with dad jokes . . . [Schutt] is a natural teacher with an easy way with metaphor.”—The Wall Street Journal In this lively, unexpected look at the hearts of animals—from fish to bats to humans—American Museum of Natural History zoologist Bill Schutt tells an incredible story of evolution and scientific progress. We join Schutt on a tour from the origins of circulation, still evident in microorganisms today, to the tiny hardworking pumps of worms, to the golf-cart-size hearts of blue whales. We visit beaches where horseshoe crabs are being harvested for their blood, which has properties that can protect humans from deadly illnesses. We learn that when temperatures plummet, some frog hearts can freeze solid for weeks, resuming their beat only after a spring thaw. And we journey with Schutt through human history, too, as philosophers and scientists hypothesize, often wrongly, about what makes our ticker tick. Schutt traces humanity’s cardiac fascination from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who believed that the heart contains the soul, all the way up to modern-day laboratories, where scientists use animal hearts and even plants as the basis for many of today’s cutting-edge therapies. Written with verve and authority, weaving evolutionary perspectives with cultural history, Pump shows us this mysterious organ in a completely new light.

Schutt traces humanity’s cardiac fascination from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who believed that the heart contains the soul, all the way up to modern-day laboratories, where scientists use animal hearts and even plants as the basis for many of today’s cutting-edge therapies. Written with verve and authority, weaving evolutionary perspectives with cultural history, Pump shows us this mysterious organ in a completely new light. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/538589 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/538589]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: All the Wonder That Would Be: Exploring Past Notions of the Future Series: Part of The Science and Fiction Series Author: Stephen Webb Narrator: Alex Boyles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 11, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: It has been argued that science fiction (SF) gives a kind of weather forecast—not the telling of a fortune but rather the rough feeling of what the future might be like. The intention in this audiobook is to consider some of these bygone forecasts made by SF and to use this as a prism through which to view current developments in science and technology. In each of the ten main chapters—dealing in turn with antigravity, space travel, aliens, time travel, the nature of reality, invisibility, robots, means of transportation, augmentation of the human body, and, last but not least, mad scientists—common assumptions once made by the SF community about how the future would turn out are compared with our modern understanding of various scientific phenomena and, in some cases, with the industrial scaling of computational and technological breakthroughs. A further intention is to explain how the predictions and expectations of SF were rooted in the scientific orthodoxy of their day, and use this to explore how our scientific understanding of various topics has developed over time, as well as to demonstrate how the ideas popularized in SF subsequently influenced working scientists.

Title: Stopping the Next Pandemic: How Covid-19 Can Help Us Save Humanity Author: Debora Mackenzie Narrator: Cynthia Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An urgent case for how we could have stopped the Covid-19 pandemic—and how to make sure it never happens again "MacKenzie's fascinating book gives us the scope and scale to be able to put this pandemic in perspective and, it begs the question, will we learn from this in time to prevent to next one?"—Molly Caldwell Crosby, bestselling author of The American Plague. *Named one of the Best Science Books of the Year by the Financial Times* The Covid-19 pandemic has left a trail of loss, misery, and economic ruin in its wake. With such destruction, can there be any silver lining? As veteran science journalist Debora MacKenzie illuminates in this captivating, acclaimed book, there is one: with the lessons learned from this disaster, we can stop it from happening again.          Here, in this fully revised and updated edition, she lays out the full story in accessible, gripping detail: the previous viruses that should have prepared us, the shocking public health failures that led to this catastrophe, the wrong decisions made at every turn. And employing what we have learned about viruses, vaccines, inequality, global cooperation, and more, she charts a bold, optimistic path forward for protecting humanity from threats to come. There is no question that more viruses are on the way, and we are still unprepared. But if we learn from our mistakes and heed the vision MacKenzie lays out in this book, we might avoid going through a nightmare like this – or worse - ever again.

Title: Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses Author: Jackie Higgins Narrator: Joan Walker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 43 minutes Release date: February 22, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Perfect for fans of The Soul of an Octopus and The Genius of Birds, this “revelatory book” (Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author) explores how we process the world around us through the lens of the incredible sensory capabilities of thirteen animals, revealing that we are not limited to merely five senses. There is a scientific revolution stirring in the field of human perception. Research has shown that the extraordinary sensory powers of our animal friends can help us better understand the same powers that lie dormant within us. From the harlequin mantis shrimp with its ability to see a vast range of colors, to the bloodhound and its hundreds of millions of scent receptors; from the orb-weaving spider whose eyes recognize not only space but time, to the cheetah whose ears are responsible for its perfect agility, these astonishing animals hold the key to better understanding how we make sense of the world around us. “An appealingly written, enlightening, and sometimes eerie journey into the extraordinary possibilities for the human senses” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Sentient will change the way you look at humanity.

Title: Of Sound Mind: How Our Brain Constructs a Meaningful Sonic World Author: Nina Kraus Narrator: Elizabeth Wiley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Making sense of sound is one of the hardest jobs we ask our brains to do. In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on—we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes—and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word—or a chord, or a meow, or a screech. Our hearing brain, Kraus tells us, is vast. It interacts with what we know, with our emotions, with how we think, with our movements, and with our other senses. Auditory neurons make calculations at one-thousandth of a second; hearing is the speediest of our senses. Sound plays an unrecognized role in both healthy and hurting brains. Kraus explores the power of music for healing as well as the destructive power of noise on the nervous system. She traces what happens in the brain when we speak another language, have a language disorder, experience rhythm, listen to birdsong, or suffer a concussion. Kraus shows how our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are. The sounds of our lives shape our brains, for better and for worse, and help us build the sonic world we live in.

Title: [Spanish] - Sapiens. De animales a dioses (Castellano): Una breve historia de la humanidad Author: Yuval Noah Harari Narrator: Luis David García Márquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 0 minutes Release date: September 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 16 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: El libro de no ficción de la década. Bestseller internacional con más de 23 millones de ejemplares vendidos. Traducido a 65 idiomas. Número 1 en la lista de The New York Times. Recomendado por Barack Obama, Bill Gates y Mark Zuckerberg. De la mano de uno de los historiadores más interesantes de la actualidad, he aquí la fascinante interpretación de Yuval Noah Harari sobre la historia de la humanidad. Bestseller nacional e internacional, este libro explora las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y han mejorado nuestra comprensión de lo que significa ser «humano». Hace 70.000 años al menos seis especies de humanos habitaban la Tierra. Hoy solo queda una, la nuestra: Homo Sapiens. ¿Cómo logró imponerse en la lucha por la existencia? ¿Por qué nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos? ¿Cómo llegamos a creer en dioses, en naciones o en los derechos humanos; a confiar en el dinero, en los libros o en las leyes? ¿Cómo acabamos sometidos a la burocracia, a los horarios y al consumismo? ¿Y cómo será el mundo en los milenios venideros? En Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari traza una breve historia de la humanidad, desde los primeros humanos que caminaron sobre la Tierra hasta los radicales y a veces devastadores avances de las tres grandes revoluciones que nuestra especie ha protagonizado: la cognitiva, la agrícola y la científica. A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biología, la antropología o la economía, Harari explora cómo las grandes corrientes de la historia han modelado nuestra sociedad, los animales y las plantas que nos rodean e incluso nuestras personalidades. ¿Hemos ganado en felicidad a medida que ha avanzado la historia? ¿Seremos capaces de liberar alguna vez nuestra conducta de la herencia del pasado? ¿Podemos hacer algo para influir en los siglos futuros? Audaz, ambicioso y provocador, este libro cuestiona todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el ser humano: nuestros orígenes, nuestras ideas, nuestras acciones, nuestro poder... y nuestro futuro. Reseñas: «El libro definitivo para entender quiénes somos. Provocador, lúcido, aporta un original enfoque sobre la esencia del ser humano». Julia Navarro «Interesante y provocador. Este libro nos da cierta perspectiva del poco tiempo que llevamos en la Tierra, de la corta vida de la ciencia y la agricultura, y de por qué no debemos dar nada por sentado». Barack Obama «Recomendaría este libro a cualquier persona interesada en una historia de la humanidad a la vez entretenida y desafiante [...] No se puede dejar de leer». Bill Gates «Aborda las cuestiones más importantes de la historia y del mundo moderno y, además, está escrito con un estilo vívido e inolvidable». Jared Diamond, premio Pulitzer y autor de Armas, gérmenes y acero «Un libro que invita a la reflexión». Mark Zuckerberg «Un repaso absorbente de la peripecia humana, escrito con rigor e irreverencia ilustrada». Antonio Muñoz Molina, El País «Un libro fascinante, como nuestra especie. Nos ayudará a saber de dónde venimos para decidir hacia dónde vamos. Recomiendo Sapiens casi antes que saludar. ¡Disfrútenlo!» Leonor Watling «Monumental, brillante, provocadora». Pablo Jáuregui, El Mundo «Cuenta la historia del ser humano desde su origen hasta que se convirtió en el rey de la creación».

Bestseller internacional con más de 23 millones de ejemplares vendidos. Traducido a 65 idiomas. Número 1 en la lista de The New York Times. Recomendado por Barack Obama, Bill Gates y Mark Zuckerberg. De la mano de uno de los historiadores más interesantes de la actualidad, he aquí la fascinante interpretación de Yuval Noah Harari sobre la historia de la humanidad. Bestseller nacional e internacional, este libro explora las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y han mejorado nuestra comprensión de lo que significa ser «humano». Hace 70.000 años al menos seis especies de humanos habitaban la Tierra. Hoy solo queda una, la nuestra: Homo Sapiens. ¿Cómo logró imponerse en la lucha por la existencia? ¿Por qué nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos? ¿Cómo llegamos a creer en dioses, en naciones o en los derechos humanos; a confiar en el dinero, en los libros o en las leyes? ¿Cómo acabamos sometidos a la burocracia, a los horarios y al consumismo? ¿Y cómo será el mundo en los milenios venideros? En Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari traza una breve historia de la humanidad, desde los primeros humanos que caminaron sobre la Tierra hasta los radicales y a veces devastadores avances de las tres grandes revoluciones que nuestra especie ha protagonizado: la cognitiva, la agrícola y la científica. A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biología, la antropología o la economía, Harari explora cómo las grandes corrientes de la historia han modelado nuestra sociedad, los animales y las plantas que nos rodean e incluso nuestras personalidades. ¿Hemos ganado en felicidad a medida que ha avanzado la historia? ¿Seremos capaces de liberar alguna vez nuestra conducta de la herencia del pasado? ¿Podemos hacer algo para influir en los siglos futuros? Audaz, ambicioso y provocador, este libro cuestiona todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el ser humano: nuestros orígenes, nuestras ideas, nuestras acciones, nuestro poder... y nuestro futuro. Reseñas: «El libro definitivo para entender quiénes somos. Provocador, lúcido, aporta un original enfoque sobre la esencia del ser humano». Julia Navarro «Interesante y provocador.

Title: Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 Author: Alina Chan, Matt Ridley Narrator: Gavin Osborn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 16 minutes Release date: November 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: 'Chan and Ridley write with an urgency...that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature.' (New York Times Book Review)  Understanding how Covid-19 started is crucial for the future of humankind. Viral is the most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of the virus. A new virus descended on the human species in 2019 wreaking unprecedented havoc. Finding out where it came from and how it first jumped into people is an urgent priority, but early expectations that this would prove an easy question to answer have been dashed. Nearly two years into the pandemic, the crucial mystery of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not only unresolved but has deepened.  In this uniquely insightful book, a scientist and a writer join forces to try to get to the bottom of how a virus whose closest relations live in bats in subtropical southern China somehow managed to begin spreading among people more than 1,500 kilometres away in the city of Wuhan. They grapple with the baffling fact that the virus left none of the expected traces that such outbreaks usually create: no infected market animals or wildlife, no chains of early cases in travellers to the city, no smouldering epidemic in a rural area, no rapid adaptation of the virus to its new host-human beings.  To try to solve this pressing mystery, Viral delves deep into the events of 2019 leading up to 2021, the details of what went on in animal markets and virology laboratories, the records and data hidden from sight within archived Chinese theses and websites, and the clues that can be coaxed from the very text of the virus's own genetic code.  The result is a gripping detective story that takes the reader deeper and deeper into a metaphorical cave of mystery. One by one the authors explore promising tunnels only to show that they are blind alleys, until, miles beneath the surface, they find themselves tantalisingly close to a shaft that leads to the light.

Title: Parent Nation: Unlocking Every Child's Potential, Fulfilling Society's Promise Author: Dana Suskind Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: World-class pediatric surgeon, social scientist, and best-selling author of Thirty Million Words Dr. Dana Suskind returns with a revelatory new look at the neuroscience of early childhood development—and how it can guide us toward a future in which every child has the opportunity to fulfill their potential. Her prescription for this more prosperous and equitable future, as clear as it is powerful, is more robust support for parents during the most critical years of their children’s development. In her poignant new book, Parent Nation, written with award-winning science writer Lydia Denworth, Dr. Suskind helps parents recognize both their collective identity and their formidable power as custodians of our next generation. Weaving together the latest science on the developing brain with heart-breaking and relatable stories of families from all walks of life, Dr. Suskind shows that the status quo—scores of parents convinced they should be able to shoulder the enormous responsibility of early childhood care and education on their own—is not only unsustainable, but deeply detrimental to the wellbeing of children, families, and society.   Anyone looking for a blueprint for how to build a brighter future for our children will find one in Parent Nation. Informed by the science of foundational brain development as well as history, political science, and the lived experiences of families around the country, this book clearly outlines how society can and should help families meet the developmental needs of their children. Only then can we ensure that all children are able to enjoy the promise of their potential. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of the Parent Nation Action Guide and Discussion Guide.

Title: Beasts Before Us: The Untold Story of Mammal Origins and Evolution Author: Elsa Panciroli Narrator: Ruth Urquhart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 38 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: For most of us, the story of mammal evolution starts after the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, but over the last twenty years scientists have uncovered new fossils and used new technologies that have upended this story. In Beasts Before Us, paleontologist Elsa Panciroli charts the emergence of the mammal lineage, Synapsida, beginning at their murky split from the reptiles in the Carboniferous period, over three-hundred million years ago. They made the world theirs long before the rise of dinosaurs. Elsa crisscrosses the globe to explore the sites where discoveries are being made and meet the people who make them. In Scotland, she traverses the desert dunes of prehistoric Moray, where quarry workers unearthed the footprints of Permian creatures from before the time of dinosaurs. In South Africa, she introduces us to animals that gave scientists the first hints that our furry kin evolved from a lineage of egg-laying burrowers. In China, new, complete fossilized skeletons reveal mammals that were gliders, shovel-pawed Jurassic moles, and flat-tailed swimmers. This book radically reframes the narrative of our mammalian ancestors and provides a counterpoint to the stereotypes of mighty dinosaur overlords and cowering little mammals. It turns out the earliest mammals weren't just precursors, they were pioneers.

Title: Genentech: The Beginnings of Biotech Author: Sally Smith Hughes Narrator: Suzie Althens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: In the fall of 1980, Genentech, Inc., a little-known California genetic engineering company, became the overnight darling of Wall Street, raising over $38 million in its initial public stock offering. Lacking marketed products or substantial profit, the firm nonetheless saw its share price escalate from $35 to $89 in the first few minutes of trading. Coming at a time of economic recession and declining technological competitiveness in the United States, the event ignited a period of speculative frenzy over biotechnology as a revolutionary means for creating new and better kinds of pharmaceuticals, untold profit, and a possible solution to national economic malaise. Drawing from an unparalleled collection of interviews with early biotech players, Sally Smith Hughes offers the first book-length history of this pioneering company. Hughes provides intimate portraits of the people significant to Genentech’s science and business, including cofounders Herbert Boyer and Robert Swanson, and in doing so sheds new light on how personality affects the growth of science. By placing Genentech's founders, followers, opponents, victims, and beneficiaries in context, Hughes also demonstrates how science interacts with commercial and legal interests and university research, and with government regulation, venture capital, and commercial profits.

Drawing from an unparalleled collection of interviews with early biotech players, Sally Smith Hughes offers the first book-length history of this pioneering company. Hughes provides intimate portraits of the people significant to Genentech’s science and business, including cofounders Herbert Boyer and Robert Swanson, and in doing so sheds new light on how personality affects the growth of science. By placing Genentech's founders, followers, opponents, victims, and beneficiaries in context, Hughes also demonstrates how science interacts with commercial and legal interests and university research, and with government regulation, venture capital, and commercial profits. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/534769 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/534769]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Positivity 101: 15 Science-Based Strategies for Cultivating Enjoyment, Gratitude, Serenity, and Awe Author: Barbara Fredrickson Narrator: Barbara Fredrickson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 26 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.79 of Total 43 Ratings of Narrator: 4.63 of Total 8 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Join one of the world’s most influential psychologists in exploring the transformative powers of positivity.   The Dalai Lama declared that “the purpose of our lives is to be happy.” Indeed, prioritizing positivity can boost your health and well-being in powerful ways. And when positivity resonates between you and others, it strengthens your relationships and communities, making them kinder and more compassionate, more supportive of everyone’s health and well-being.   In this remarkable 15-lecture audio course, Dr. Barbara Fredrickson—celebrated professor, best-selling author, TED Talk Celebrity, and leading positive psychology expert—shows you how to enhance your awareness of fleeting states of emotional uplift to help balance your brain’s built-in bias toward the negative. You’ll learn how even subtle positive emotions – like enjoyment, gratitude, serenity, and awe – can expand your awareness and ignite upward spirals of growth within you.   Dr. Fredrickson, recipient of the Tang Prize for Achievements in Psychology, is the author of Positivity, Love 2.0, and more than 130 peer-reviewed articles in the field of positive psychology. Through her exceptional lectures, you will learn to challenge the reflexive habit of seeing emotions as “belonging” to individuals (e.g., your joy, her anger). You’ll find that emotions, especially positive emotions, can often more accurately be described as “belonging” to the collective, and see how this resonance of positivity might well be the most elemental building block of love. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Title: Lives of Weeds: Opportunism, Resistance, Folly Author: John Cardina Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 30 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Lives of Weeds explores the tangled history of weeds and their relationship to humans. Through eight interwoven stories, John Cardina offers a fresh perspective on how these tenacious plants came about, why they are both inevitable and essential, and how their ecological success is ensured by determined efforts to eradicate them. Linking botany, history, ecology, and evolutionary biology to the social dimensions of humanity's ancient struggle with feral flora, Cardina shows how weeds have shaped—and are shaped by—the way we live in the natural world. Weeds and attempts to control them drove nomads toward settled communities, encouraged social stratification, caused environmental disruptions, and have motivated the development of GMO crops. They have snared us in social inequality and economic instability, infested social norms of suburbia, caused rage in the American heartland, and played a part in perpetuating pesticide use worldwide. Lives of Weeds reveals how the technologies directed against weeds underlie ethical questions about agriculture and the environment, and leaves readers with a deeper understanding of how the weeds around us are entangled in our daily choices.

Title: Emotional: How Feelings Shape Our Thinking Author: Leonard Mlodinow Narrator: Dan John Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: We’ve all been told that thinking rationally is the key to success. But at the cutting edge of science, researchers are discovering that feeling is every bit as important as thinking. You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how you should invest, and not one of those decisions would be possible without emotion. It has long been said that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behavior. But as Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of Subliminal, tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience have proven that emotions are as critical to our well-being as thinking.   How can you connect better with others? How can you make sense of your frustration, fear, and anxiety? What can you do to live a happier life? The answers lie in understanding your emotions. Journeying from the labs of pioneering scientists to real-world scenarios that have flirted with disaster, Mlodinow shows us how our emotions can help, why they sometimes hurt, and what we can learn in both instances.   Using deep insights into our evolution and biology, Mlodinow gives us the tools to understand our emotions better and to maximize their benefits. Told with his characteristic clarity and fascinating stories, Emotional explores the new science of feelings and offers us an essential guide to making the most of one of nature’s greatest gifts. *Includes a downloadable PDF of emotional profile questionnaires from the book Leonard Mlodinow Tue, 11 Jan 2022 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/532077 thebookvoice.com 7:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/532077]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lessons from Plants Author: Beronda L. Montgomery Narrator: York Whitaker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 7 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: We know that plants are important. They maintain the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable. In fact, plants are masters of adaptation. They “know” what and who they are, and they use this knowledge to make a way in the world. Plants experience a kind of sensation that does not require eyes or ears. They distinguish kin, friend, and foe, and they are able to respond to ecological competition despite lacking the capacity of fight-or-flight. Plants are even capable of transformative behaviors that allow them to maximize their chances of survival in a dynamic and sometimes unfriendly environment. Lessons from Plants enters into the depth of botanic experience and shows how we might improve human society by better appreciating not just what plants give us but also how they achieve their own purposes. What would it mean to learn from these organisms, to become more aware of our environments and to adapt to our own worlds by calling on perception and awareness? Montgomery’s meditative study puts before us a question with the power to reframe the way we live: What would a plant do? Beronda L.

Title: Sounds Wild and Broken: Sonic Marvels, Evolution's Creativity, and the Crisis of Sensory Extinction Author: David George Haskell Narrator: Steven Jay Cohen, David George Haskell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 34 minutes Release date: March 1, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Finalist for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction and the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Winner of the Acoustical Society of America's 2023 Science Communication Award “[A] glorious guide to the miracle of life’s sound.” —The New York Times Book Review A lyrical exploration of the diverse sounds of our planet, the creative processes that produced these marvels, and the perils that sonic diversity now faces We live on a planet alive with song, music, and speech. David Haskell explores how these wonders came to be. In rain forests shimmering with insect sound and swamps pulsing with frog calls we learn about evolution’s creative powers. From birds in the Rocky Mountains and on the streets of Paris, we discover how animals learn their songs and adapt to new environments. Below the waves, we hear our kinship to beings as different as snapping shrimp, toadfish, and whales. In the startlingly divergent sonic vibes of the animals of different continents, we experience the legacies of plate tectonics, the deep history of animal groups and their movements around the world, and the quirks of aesthetic evolution.   Starting with the origins of animal song and traversing the whole arc of Earth history, Haskell illuminates and celebrates the emergence of the varied sounds of our world. In mammoth ivory flutes from Paleolithic caves, violins in modern concert halls, and electronic music in earbuds, we learn that human music and language belong within this story of ecology and evolution. Yet we are also destroyers, now silencing or smothering many of the sounds of the living Earth. Haskell takes us to threatened forests, noise-filled oceans, and loud city streets, and shows that sonic crises are not mere losses of sensory ornament. Sound is a generative force, and so the erasure of sonic diversity makes the world less creative, just, and beautiful. The appreciation of the beauty and brokenness of sound is therefore an important guide in today’s convulsions and crises of change and inequity.   Sounds Wild and Broken is an invitation to listen, wonder, belong, and act.

En Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer reúne estas dos lentes de conocimiento para llevarnos a 'un viaje tan mítico como científico, tan sagrado como histórico, tan inteligente como sabio' (Elizabeth Gilbert).Basándose en su vida como científica indígena, y como mujer, Kimmerer muestra cómo otros seres vivos —asters y goldenrod, fresas y calabazas, salamandras, algas y dulces— nos ofrecen regalos y lecciones, incluso si hemos olvidado cómo escuchar sus voces. En reflexiones que van desde la creación de Turtle Island hasta las fuerzas que amenazan su florecimiento hoy en día, gira hacia un argumento central: que el despertar de la conciencia ecológica requiere el reconocimiento y la celebración de nuestra relación recíproca con el resto del mundo vivo. Porque sólo cuando podamos escuchar los idiomas de otros seres seremos capaces de entender la generosidad de la tierra, y aprender a dar nuestros propios dones a cambio.

Title: The Secret of Life: Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick, and the Discovery of DNA's Double Helix Author: Howard Markel Narrator: Donald Corren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 5 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.44 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An authoritative history of the race to unravel DNA’s structure, by one of our most prominent medical historians.James Watson and Francis Crick’s 1953 discovery of the double helix structure of DNA is the foundation of virtually every advance in our modern understanding of genetics and molecular biology. But how did Watson and Crick do it—and why were they the ones who succeeded?In truth, the discovery of DNA’s structure is the story of five towering minds in pursuit of the advancement of science, and for almost all of them, the prospect of fame and immortality: Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling. Each was fascinating and brilliant, with strong personalities that often clashed. Howard Markel skillfully re-creates the intense intellectual journey, and fraught personal relationships, that ultimately led to a spectacular breakthrough. But it is Rosalind Franklin—fiercely determined, relentless, and an outsider at Cambridge and the University of London in the 1950s, as the lone Jewish woman among young male scientists—who becomes a focal point for Markel.The Secret of Life is a story of genius and perseverance, but also a saga of cronyism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, and misconduct. Drawing on voluminous archival research, including interviews with James Watson and with Franklin’s sister, Jenifer Glynn, Markel provides a fascinating look at how science is done, how reputations are undone, and how history is written, and revised. A vibrant evocation of Cambridge in the 1950s, The Secret of Life also provides colorful depictions of Watson and Crick—their competitiveness, idiosyncrasies, and youthful immaturity—and compelling portraits of Wilkins, Pauling, and most cogently, Rosalind Franklin. The Secret of Life is a lively and sweeping narrative of this landmark discovery, one that finally gives the woman at the center of this drama her due.

Title: Cannabinoids and the Brain Author: Linda A. Parker Narrator: Erin Deward Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Parker describes the discovery of tetrahydocannbinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of cannabis, and the further discovery of cannabinoid receptors in the brain. She explains that the brain produces chemicals similar to THC, which act on the same receptors as THC, and shows that the endocannabinoid system is involved in all aspects of brain functioning. Parker reports that cannabis contains not only the psychoactive compound THC, but also other compounds of potential therapeutic benefit, and that one of them, cannabidiol (CBD), shows promise for the treatment of pain, anxiety, and epilepsy. Parker reviews the evidence on cannabinoids and anxiety, depression, mood, sleep, schizophrenia, learning and memory, addiction, sex, appetite and obesity, chemotherapy-induced nausea, epilepsy, and such neurodegenerative disorders as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's Disease. Each chapter also links the scientific evidence to historical and anecdotal reports of the medicinal use of cannabis. As debate about the medical use of marijuana continues, Parker's balanced and objective review of the fundamental science and potential therapeutic effects of cannabis is especially timely. Linda A.

Title: The Biological Mind: How Brain, Body, and Environment Collaborate to Make Us Who We Are Author: Alan Jasanoff Narrator: Kevin T. Collins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 21, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A pioneering neuroscientist argues that we are more than our brains To many, the brain is the seat of personal identity and autonomy. But the way we talk about the brain is often rooted more in mystical conceptions of the soul than in scientific fact. This blinds us to the physical realities of mental function. We ignore bodily influences on our psychology, from chemicals in the blood to bacteria in the gut, and overlook the ways that the environment affects our behavior, via factors varying from subconscious sights and sounds to the weather. As a result, we alternately overestimate our capacity for free will or equate brains to inorganic machines like computers. But a brain is neither a soul nor an electrical network: it is a bodily organ, and it cannot be separated from its surroundings. Our selves aren't just inside our heads -- they're spread throughout our bodies and beyond. Only once we come to terms with this can we grasp the true nature of our humanity.

Title: Emotional: The New Thinking About Feelings Author: Leonard Mlodinow Narrator: Dan John Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. We've been told we need to master our emotions and think rationally to succeed. But cutting-edge science shows that feelings are every bit as important to our success as thinking. You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how to influence people, and not one of them could be made without the essential component of emotion. It has long been held that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behaviour. But as best-selling author Leonard Mlodinow tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience have proven that emotions are as critical to our well-being as thinking. How can you connect better with others? How can you improve your relationship to frustration, fear, and anxiety? What can you do to live a happier life? The answers lie in understanding emotions. Taking us on a journey from the labs of pioneering scientists to real-world scenarios that have flirted with disaster, Mlodinow shows us how our emotions help, why they sometimes hurt, and what we can make of the difference. Cutting-edge research and deep insights into our evolution, biology, and neuroscience promise to help us understand our emotions better and maximize their benefits. Told with characteristic clarity and fascinating stories, Mlodinow's exploration of the new science of feelings is an essential guide to making the most of one of nature's greatest gifts to us. © Leonard Mlodinow 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Leonard Mlodinow Tue, 04 Jan 2022 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/528561 thebookvoice.com 7:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/528561]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Hidden Universe: Adventures in Biodiversity Author: Alexandre Antonelli Narrator: Paul Hilliar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 26 minutes Release date: July 14, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. We don't know what we've got until it's gone... This brief, lucid book by the Director of Science at Royal Botanical Gardens takes you on an unforgettable tour of the natural world, showing how biodiversity - the rich variety of life in the world and in our own backyards - provides both the source and the salvation of our existence. Combining inspiration stories and the latest scientific research, Alex Antonelli reveals the wonders of biodiversity at a genetic, species and ecosystem level - what it is, how it works, and why it's the most important tool in our battle against climate change. A deeper understanding of biodiversity has never been more important, as the slow violence of habitat loss has put the fate of almost one-fifth of all species on Earth at risk of extinction in the coming decades. These building blocks of life form a network that underpins almost every aspect of our lives, providing invaluable sources of food, medicine, fibre, clothing, building material and more. With simplicity and clarity, The Hidden Universe shows you not only what's at stake, but what can be done (and is already being done) to protect and restore biodiversity around the world. It marks the arrival of a bold new voice in popular science. © Alexandre Antonelli 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Alexandre Antonelli Thu, 14 Jul 2022 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/526978 thebookvoice.com 5:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/526978]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Human Evolution: A Very Short Introduction, 2nd Edition Author: Bernard Wood Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 45 minutes Release date: August 10, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The study of human evolution is advancing rapidly. Newly discovered fossil evidence is adding ever more pieces to the puzzle of our past, whilst revolutionary technological advances in the study of ancient DNA are completely reshaping theories of early human populations and migrations. In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard Wood traces the history of paleoanthropology from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to the very latest fossil finds. In this new edition he discusses how ancient DNA studies have revolutionized how we view the recent (post-550 ka) human evolution, and the process of speciation. The combination of ancient and modern human DNA has contributed to discoveries of new taxa, as well as the suggestion of 'ghost' taxa whose fossil records still remain to be discovered. Considering the contributions of related sciences such as paleoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and developmental biology, Wood explores our latest understandings of our own evolution.

Title: Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse Author: Dave Goulson Narrator: Dave Goulson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 54 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking environmental classic Silent Spring, an award-winning entomologist and conservationist explains the importance of insects to our survival, and offers a clarion call to avoid a looming ecological disaster of our own making. Drawing on thirty years of research, Goulson has written an accessible, fascinating, and important book that examines the evidence of an alarming drop in insect numbers around the world. “If we lose the insects, then everything is going to collapse,” he warned in a recent interview in the New York Times—beginning with humans’ food supply. The main cause of this decrease in insect populations is the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides. Hence, Silent Earth’s nod to Rachel Carson’s classic Silent Spring which, when published in 1962, led to the global banning of DDT. This was a huge victory for science and ecological health at the time. Yet before long, new pesticides just as lethal as DDT were introduced, and today, humanity finds itself on the brink of a new crisis. What will happen when the bugs are all gone? Goulson explores the intrinsic connection between climate change, nature, wildlife, and the shrinking biodiversity and analyzes the harmful impact for the earth and its inhabitants.   Meanwhile we have all read stories about hive collapse syndrome affecting honeybee colonies and the tragic decline of monarch butterflies in North America, and more. But it is not too late to arrest this decline, and Silent Earth should be the clarion call. Smart, eye-opening, and essential, Silent Earth is a forceful call to action to save our world, and ultimately, ourselves. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: The Invisible Siege: The Rise of Coronaviruses and the Search for a Cure Author: Dan Werb Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 1, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: “A journey into the origins of COVID-19 and the discovery of vaccines and potential cures . . . I learned so much that I didn’t know before—above all, I met the subtle warriors of the laboratory who are working to save all of us from the horror of new pandemics.”—Richard Preston, bestselling author of The Hot Zone and The Demon in the Freezer   One of Publishers Weekly’s top ten science books of the season The urgency of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has fixed humanity’s gaze on the present crisis. But the story of this pandemic extends far further back than many realize. In this engrossing narrative, epidemiologist Dan Werb traces the rising threat of the coronavirus family and the attempts by a small group of scientists who worked for decades to stop a looming viral pandemic. When virologist Ralph Baric began researching coronaviruses in the 1980s, the field was a scientific backwater—the few variants that infected humans caused little more than the common cold. But when a novel coronavirus sparked the 2003 SARS epidemic, and then the MERS epidemic a decade later, Baric and his allies realized that time was running out before a pandemic strain would make the inevitable jump from animals to human hosts. In The Invisible Siege, Werb unpacks the dynamic history and microscopic complexity of an organism that has wreaked cycles of havoc upon the world for millennia. Elegantly tracing decades of scientific investigation, Werb’s book reveals how Baric’s team of scientists hatched an audacious plan not merely to battle COVID-19 but to end pandemics forever. Yet as they raced to find a cure, they ran into a complicated nexus of science, ethics, industry, and politics that threatened to derail their efforts just as COVID-19 loomed ever larger. The Invisible Siege is an urgent and moving testament to the unprecedented scientific movement to stop COVID-19—and a powerful look at the infuriating factors that threaten to derail discovery and leave the world vulnerable to the inevitable coronaviruses to come.

Title: Can Fish Count?: What Animals Reveal About Our Uniquely Mathematical Minds Author: Brian Butterworth Narrator: Brian Butterworth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An entertaining investigation of the numerical abilities of animals and our own appetite for arithmetic  The philosopher Bertrand Russell once observed that realizing that a pair of apples and the passage of two days could somehow both be represented by the concept we call “two” was one of the most astonishing discoveries anyone had ever made. So what do we make of the incredible fact that animals seem to have inherent mathematical abilities? As cognitive psychologist Brian Butterworth shows us in Can Fish Count?, many “simple” animals—such as bees, which count trees and fence posts, and guppies, which can size up groups—have a sense of numbers. And unlike humans, they don’t need to be taught.   In telling animals’ stories, Butterworth shines new light on one of our most ancient questions: Just where, exactly, do numbers come from? He reveals how insights gleaned from studying animals can help us make better sense of our own abilities. Full of discovery and delight, Can Fish Count? is an astonishing journey through the animal kingdom and the human mind.

Title: Can Fish Count?: What Animals Reveal About Our Uniquely Mathematical Minds Author: Brian Butterworth Narrator: Brian Butterworth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An entertaining investigation of the numerical abilities of animals and our own appetite for arithmetic  The philosopher Bertrand Russell once observed that realizing that a pair of apples and the passage of two days could somehow both be represented by the concept we call “two” was one of the most astonishing discoveries anyone had ever made. So what do we make of the incredible fact that animals seem to have inherent mathematical abilities? As cognitive psychologist Brian Butterworth shows us in Can Fish Count?, many “simple” animals—such as bees, which count trees and fence posts, and guppies, which can size up groups—have a sense of numbers. And unlike humans, they don’t need to be taught.   In telling animals’ stories, Butterworth shines new light on one of our most ancient questions: Just where, exactly, do numbers come from? He reveals how insights gleaned from studying animals can help us make better sense of our own abilities. Full of discovery and delight, Can Fish Count? is an astonishing journey through the animal kingdom and the human mind. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523703 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/523703]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Periodic Table: A Very Short Introduction Author: Eric R. Scerri Narrator: Eric Scerri Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 9 minutes Release date: June 29, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The periodic table of elements, first encountered by many of us at school, provides an arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, and divided into periodic trends. In this Very Short Introduction Eric R. Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the table, and shows how the deeper meaning of the table's structure gradually became apparent with the development of atomic theory and, in particular, quantum mechanics, which underlies the behavior of all of the elements and their compounds. This new edition celebrates the completion of the seventh period of the table, with the ratification and naming of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 as nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson. Eric R. Scerri also incorporates new material on recent advances in our understanding of the origin of the elements, as well as developments concerning group three of the periodic table. Eric R.

Title: Amphibians: A Very Short Introduction Author: T.S. Kemp Narrator: Dennis Kleinman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 48 minutes Release date: July 6, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: From frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, to the lesser-known caecilians, there are over 8,000 species of amphibians alive today. Characterized by their moist, naked skin and the tadpole phase of their lives, they are uniquely adapted to occupy the interphase habitat between freshwater and land. This Very Short Introduction explores amphibians' evolution, adaptations, and biology, from the first emergence of tetrapods onto land 370 million years ago, to how their permeable skin enables them to thrive in their habitat today. T. S. Kemp describes how different amphibians go about their lives, looking in particular at their complex courtship behavior and their extraordinary means of providing care for their eggs and larvae. Finally, he considers amphibians' relationship to humans, and the ways in which they have been exploited as food, folk medicine, and pets, as well as used in many areas of scientific research. Today amphibians face a serious threat, with almost half of species judged to be at risk of extinction. As the causes include habitat destruction, pollution, and disease, mostly resulting from human activity, T. S. Kemp shows that the conservation of amphibians is very much in our hands. T.S.

Title: Human Physiology: A Very Short Introduction Author: Jamie A. Davies Narrator: Bruce Mann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 18 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Physiology is the science of life, and sets out to understand how living things work and what makes them distinct from the non-living. It considers how our bodies are supplied with energy, how they maintain their internal parameters, the ways in which we gather and process information, the ways we take action, and the creation of new generations. This Very Short Introduction explores the field of human physiology, considering how the body works, senses, reacts, and defends itself. As Jamie A. Davies shows, human life (and indeed, all life) is sustained by the interplay of a wide variety of physiological mechanisms and principles. He discusses the physiological experiments and research undertaken to understand these processes, and analyzes the ethical issues involved. He also considers the evolution of the scientific field itself, showing how enhanced understandings of physiological knowledge can help inform medical research and care. Jamie A.

Title: Intelligence: A Very Short Introduction, 2nd edition Author: Ian J. Deary Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Some people are cleverer than others. This everyday observation is the subject of an academic field that is often portrayed as confused and controversial, when in fact, the field of intelligence holds some of psychology's best-replicated findings. This Very Short Introduction describes what psychologists have discovered about how and why people differ in their thinking powers. Drawing on large scale data, Ian Deary considers how many types of intelligence there are, and how intelligence changes with age. Along the way he tackles some of the most burning questions surrounding intelligence, such as whether larger brains are cleverer, and how genes and environments contribute to people's intelligence differences. He also considers the new field of cognitive epidemiology, which draws links between intelligence and better health, less illness, and longer life, and asks whether intelligence is increasing. In this new edition Deary also addresses the controversial question of whether men and women differ in intelligence. Throughout he provides a clear description of the data we can use to answer these questions and more. Ian J.

Title: The History of Life: A Very Short Introduction Author: Michael J. Benton Narrator: Peter Larkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 12 minutes Release date: June 22, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Here is the extraordinary story of the unfolding of life on Earth, told by Michael J. Benton, a world-renowned authority on biodiversity. Ranging over four billion years, Benton weaves together the latest findings on fossils, earth history, evolutionary biology, and many other fields to highlight the great leaps that enabled life to evolve from microbe to human—big breakthroughs that made whole new ways of life possible—including cell division and multicellularity, hard skeletons, the move to land, the origin of forests, the move to the air. He describes the mass extinctions, especially the Permian, which obliterated 90% of life, and he sheds light on the origins of human beings, and of the many hominids that went before us. He ends by pointing out that studying the past helps us to predict the future: what happens if the atmosphere warms by five degrees? What happens if we destroy much of the biodiversity on Earth? These things have happened before, Benton notes. We need only look to the distant past to know the future of life on Earth. Michael J.

Title: [Spanish] - El código de la vida: Jennifer Doudna, la edición genética y el futuro de la especie humana Author: Walter Isaacson Narrator: Luis Solís, Yareli Arizmendi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 51 minutes Release date: May 13, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Walter Isaacson vuelve a fascinarnos, esta vez con la historia de Jennifer Doudna, Premio Nobel de Química 2020, y el avance científico más importante del último siglo. Hay una revolución en marcha, una tecnología prodigiosa que nos va a permitir curar enfermedades, derrotar virus y tener hijos más sanos. A su cabeza está la reciente premio Nobel Jennifer Doudna y sus colegas, protagonistas del nuevo libro de Walter Isaacson. Aunque su profesor de instituto le advirtió que las niñas no podían ser científicas, su búsqueda apasionada de los mecanismos ocultos de la vida y su voluntad por convertir descubrimientos en inventos llevaron a Jennifer Doudna a participar en el avance más importante en el ámbito de la biología desde el descubrimiento de la doble hélice del ADN. Con su equipo, transformó una curiosidad de la naturaleza en una herramienta que cambiará el rumbo del ser humano. El CRISPR, una técnica fácil de usar que permite modificar el ADN, lo que abre un mundo nuevo de milagros médicos pero también de cuestiones morales. El desarrollo del CRISPR (y la carrera por encontrar la vacuna del coronavirus) acelerarán nuestra transición a la siguiente gran revolución. Los últimos cincuenta años han sido una era digital basada en el microchip, el ordenador e internet. Ahora comienza la revolución de las ciencias de la vida. A los estudiantes de código digital se les unirán los que estudian el código genético. ¿Deberíamos usar nuestras nuevas capacidades para hacernos menos vulnerables a los virus? ¿Y para prevenir la depresión? ¿Deberíamos aceptar que las familias que se lo puedan permitir mejoren la constitución física o la inteligencia de sus hijos? Tras dirigir el equipo que descubrió la tecnología CRISPR, Doudna ha liderado los debates en torno a estas cuestiones morales. Obtuvo, junto con su colaboradora Emmanuelle Charpentier, el Premio Nobel de Química en 2020. Su historia es una apasionante aventura que atraviesa las maravillas más profundas de la naturaleza, de los orígenes de la vida al futuro de nuestra especie. La crítica ha dicho... «El premio de este año tiene que ver con la idea de reescribir el código de la vida. Estas tijeras genéticas han llevado a la ciencia a una nueva era.» Anuncio del Premio Nobel de Química 2020 «Un libro extraordinario que profundiza en una de las tecnologías biológicas más innovadoras de nuestro tiempo y las personas que la crearon. Brillante es una lectura absolutamente necesaria para nuestra era.» Siddhartha Mukherjee «Un libro vital sobre la última gran innovación científica, y otra biografía de primer nivel de Isaacson.» Kirkus Weekly Walter Isaacson Thu, 13 May 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520672 thebookvoice.com 19:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520672]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Evolution: A Very Short Introduction Author: Brian Charlesworth, Deborah Charlesworth Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Less than 450 years ago, all European scholars believed that the Earth was at the center of a Universe that was at most a few million miles in extent, and that the planets, sun, and stars all rotated around this center. Less than 250 years ago, they believed that the Universe was created essentially in its present state about 6000 years ago. Even less than 150 years ago, the view that living species were the result of special creation by God was still dominant. The recognition by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace of the mechanism of evolution by natural selection has completely transformed our understanding of the living world, including our own origins. Brian and Deborah Charlesworth provide a clear and concise summary of the process of evolution by natural selection, and how natural selection gives rise to adaptations and eventually, over many generations, to new species. They introduce the central concepts of the field of evolutionary biology, as they have developed since Darwin and Wallace on the subject, over 140 years ago, and discuss some of the remaining questions regarding processes. They highlight the wide range of evidence for evolution, and the importance of an evolutionary understanding for instance in combating the rapid evolution of resistance by bacteria to antibiotics and of HIV to antiviral drugs.

Title: The Awakened Brain: The Psychology of Spirituality and Our Search for Meaning Author: Lisa Miller Narrator: Brittany Pressley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A ground-breaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing and resilience Whether it's an uplifting walk in nature, meditation or prayer, there are many ways to experience heightened awareness and escape the relentless demands of modern life. The range of opportunities of this kind suggest that it isn't dependent on faith or religion, but that it's about a different mode of living; an innate spirituality. Lisa Miller has spent decades researching the effects of spirituality on the brain. In this book she draws on her clinical experience and award-winning research to show how an active spiritual life can transform our physical and psychological wellbeing. Bringing scientific rigour to the most intangible aspect of our lives, Miller offers insights into the neurological basis for the increased resilience that comes with nurturing spirituality and highlights its measurable positive effects: decreasing the likelihood of depression and substance abuse, and shifting the course of recovery in many other clinical settings. Woven throughout is Miller's personal story of how, while confronting her own challenges, her professional pragmatism gave way to a greater appreciation of insights that are important to so many people and yet so often dismissed as unscientific. Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book will revolutionize your understanding of spirituality, mental health and how we find meaning and purpose in life. © Lisa Miller 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Lisa Miller Tue, 17 Aug 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520278 thebookvoice.com 7:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520278]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Living on Earth: Life, Consciousness and the Making of the Natural World Author: Peter Godfrey-Smith Narrator: Peter Godfrey-Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith’s three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020. The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith’s three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020. Peter Godfrey-Smith, the scuba-diving philosopher, examined the evolution of sentience in Other Minds. In Metazoa he asked how that consciousness shaped and was shaped by animal bodies. Now, in Living on Earth, he takes that line of questioning a step further, asking, how has life shaped and been shaped by our planet? He visits the largest living stromatolite fields, examples of how cyanobacteria began belching oxygen into the atmosphere as they converted carbon dioxide and water into living matter using the sun's light. The extraordinary increase in oxygen in the atmosphere resulted in an explosion in the diversity of life. And so began a riotous tangle of coevolution between plants and animals, as each changed the environment around them allowing others to utilise these new ecosystems and thus new species to evolve. From cyanobacteria, through algae on to ferns or trees or grasses, and from protists , through invertebrates and fish through the dinosaurs and on to birds and mammals – our planet has seen an explosion of life forms, all reacting to their environment and all creating new environments that allow other life to evolve. In our own evolutionary line, an initially unremarkable mammal changed in new ways, evolving to come out of the trees to inhabit new savannas and then onto inhabit the whole planet. One of the most adaptable species ever found on Earth, and arguably the species causing the most change, humans are still part of this 3.8 billion year history of life forms changing the world around them. In Living on Earth, Godfrey-Smith takes us on a grand tour of the history of life on earth. He visits Rwandan gorillas and Australian bowerbirds, returns to coral reefs and octopus dens, considers the impact of language and writing, and weighs the responsibilities our unique powers bring with them, as they relate to factory farming, habitat preservation, climate change, and the use of animals in experiments. Living on Earth shows that Humans belong to the infinitely complex system that is the Earth, and our minds are products of that system, but we are also an acting force within it. We are creatures of Earth, but we hold Earth's future in our hands. It is a responsibility that we must all understand and accept.

One of the most adaptable species ever found on Earth, and arguably the species causing the most change, humans are still part of this 3.8 billion year history of life forms changing the world around them. In Living on Earth, Godfrey-Smith takes us on a grand tour of the history of life on earth. He visits Rwandan gorillas and Australian bowerbirds, returns to coral reefs and octopus dens, considers the impact of language and writing, and weighs the responsibilities our unique powers bring with them, as they relate to factory farming, habitat preservation, climate change, and the use of animals in experiments. Living on Earth shows that Humans belong to the infinitely complex system that is the Earth, and our minds are products of that system, but we are also an acting force within it. We are creatures of Earth, but we hold Earth's future in our hands. It is a responsibility that we must all understand and accept.

Title: Living on Earth: Life, Consciousness and the Making of the Natural World Author: Peter Godfrey-Smith Narrator: Peter Godfrey-Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith’s three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020. The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith’s three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020. Peter Godfrey-Smith, the scuba-diving philosopher, examined the evolution of sentience in Other Minds. In Metazoa he asked how that consciousness shaped and was shaped by animal bodies. Now, in Living on Earth, he takes that line of questioning a step further, asking, how has life shaped and been shaped by our planet? He visits the largest living stromatolite fields, examples of how cyanobacteria began belching oxygen into the atmosphere as they converted carbon dioxide and water into living matter using the sun's light. The extraordinary increase in oxygen in the atmosphere resulted in an explosion in the diversity of life. And so began a riotous tangle of coevolution between plants and animals, as each changed the environment around them allowing others to utilise these new ecosystems and thus new species to evolve.

Title: Chaos: A Very Short Introduction Author: Leonard Smith Narrator: Michael Page Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Chaos exists in systems all around us. Even the simplest system of cause and effect can be subject to chaos, denying us accurate predictions of its behavior, and sometimes giving rise to astonishing structures of large-scale order. Our growing understanding of Chaos Theory is having fascinating applications in the real world—from technology to global warming, politics, human behavior, and even gambling on the stock market. Leonard Smith shows that we all have an intuitive understanding of chaotic systems. He uses accessible math and physics (replacing complex equations with simple examples like pendulums, railway lines, and tossing coins) to explain the theory, and points to numerous examples in philosophy and literature (Edgar Allen Poe, Chang-Tzu, Arthur Conan Doyle) that illuminate the problems. The beauty of fractal patterns and their relation to chaos, as well as the history of chaos, and its uses in the real world and implications for the philosophy of science are all discussed in this Very Short Introduction.

Title: The Brain from Inside Out Author: Gyorgy Buzsaki Narrator: Rich Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 47 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Is there a right way to study how the brain works? The most common approach involves the study of neural reactions to stimuli presented by an experimenter. György Buzsáki's The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function has become stagnant and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of 2011's Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzsáki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of action's consequence. Consider that our brains are initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense 'words' to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. Once its circuits are 'calibrated' by action and experience, the brain can disengage from its sensors and actuators, and examine 'what happens if' scenarios by peeking into its own computation, a process that we refer to as cognition. The Brain from Inside Out explains why our brain is not an information-absorbing coding device, as it is often portrayed, but a venture-seeking explorer constantly controlling the body to test hypotheses. Our brain does not process information: it creates it.

Title: Biochemistry: A Very Short Introduction Author: Mark Lorch Narrator: Chris Sorensen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 18 minutes Release date: May 27, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: From the simplest bacteria to humans, all living things are composed of cells of one type or another, all of which have fundamentally the same chemistry. This chemistry must provide mechanisms that allow cells to interact with the external world, a means to power the cell, machinery to carry out varied processes within the cell, a structure within which everything runs, and also governance through a web of interlocking chemical reactions. Biochemistry is the study of those reactions, the molecules that are created, manipulated, and destroyed as a result of them, and the massive macromolecules that form the chemical machinery and structures on which these biochemical reactions take place. It didn't take long for an understanding of the chemistry of life to turn into a desire to manipulate it. Drugs and therapies all aim to modify biochemical processes for good or ill: Penicillin, derived from mold, stops bacteria making their cell walls. Aspirin, with its origins in willow bark, inhibits enzymes involved in inflammatory responses. This Very Short Introduction discusses the key concepts of biochemistry, as well as the historical figures in the field and the molecules they studied, before considering the current science and innovations in the field, and the interaction between biochemistry, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.

Title: A Story of Us: A New Look at Human Evolution Author: Lesley Newson, Pete Richerson Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: May 18, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: In a few decades, a torrent of new evidence and ideas about human evolution has allowed scientists to piece together a more detailed understanding of what went on thousands and even millions of years ago. We now know much more about the problems our ancestors faced, the solutions they found, and the trade-offs they made. Our species' unique capacity for culture began to evolve millions of years ago, but it only really took off in the last few hundred thousand years. This capacity allowed our ancestors to survive and raise their difficult children during times of extreme climate chaos. Understanding how this has evolved can help us understand the cultural change and diversity that we experience today. Lesley Newson and Peter Richerson, a husband-and-wife team based at the University of California, Davis, have spent years researching and collaborating with scholars from a wide range of disciplines to produce a deep history of humankind. In A Story of Us, they present this rich narrative and explain how the evolution of our genes relates to the evolution of our cultures. Newson and Richerson take listeners through seven stages of human evolution, beginning seven million years ago with the apes that were the ancestors of humans and today's chimps and bonobos. The story ends in the present day and offers a glimpse into the future.

We now know much more about the problems our ancestors faced, the solutions they found, and the trade-offs they made. Our species' unique capacity for culture began to evolve millions of years ago, but it only really took off in the last few hundred thousand years. This capacity allowed our ancestors to survive and raise their difficult children during times of extreme climate chaos. Understanding how this has evolved can help us understand the cultural change and diversity that we experience today. Lesley Newson and Peter Richerson, a husband-and-wife team based at the University of California, Davis, have spent years researching and collaborating with scholars from a wide range of disciplines to produce a deep history of humankind. In A Story of Us, they present this rich narrative and explain how the evolution of our genes relates to the evolution of our cultures. Newson and Richerson take listeners through seven stages of human evolution, beginning seven million years ago with the apes that were the ancestors of humans and today's chimps and bonobos. The story ends in the present day and offers a glimpse into the future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512617 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512617]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Die Botschaft der Pflanzen - Was wir von der Natur lernen können und wie sie uns heilt (Ungekürzt) Author: Burkhard Bohne Narrator: Joachim Schönfeld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Pflanzen bilden die Grundlagen für fast alle Lebensprozesse auf der Erde und natürlich auch für die Menschen. Sie sind uns selbstverständlich geworden, doch es scheint, dass wir den Bezug zu ihnen verloren haben. Oder doch nicht? Immerhin liefern uns Pflanzen Nahrungsmittel, Heilmittel, Energie, Rohstoffe für Kleidung und vieles mehr. Grund genug, höchste Wertschätzung zu zeigen und sich den Pflanzen wieder anzunähern. Burkhard Bohne möchte Menschen für den Umgang mit Pflanzen sensibilisieren; er weiß, dass Pflanzen niemals ausschließlich zu ihrem Selbstzweck existieren, sondern nur überleben und sich entwickeln können, wenn sie mit anderen Lebewesen zusammenarbeiten. Der Autor plädiert für mehr Achtsamkeit im Umgang mit der Natur, für mehr Intuition und Wertschätzung unseren Lebenskreisläufen gegenüber. Er ist sicher: Pflanzen haben uns sehr viel zu sagen und sind ein perfektes Beispiel für kollektive Intelligenz. Wer sich ihnen zuwendet, wird anders auf unseren gemeinsamen Lebensraum schauen.

Title: Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods Author: Lyndsie Bourgon Narrator: Hayden Bishop Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: June 21, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A gripping account of the billion-dollar timber black market—and how it intersects with environmentalism, class, and culture.In Tree Thieves, Lyndsie Bourgon takes us deep into the underbelly of the illegal timber market. As she traces three timber poaching cases, she introduces us to tree poachers, law enforcement, forensic wood specialists, the enigmatic residents of former logging communities, environmental activists, international timber cartels, and indigenous communities along the way. Old-growth trees are invaluable and irreplaceable for both humans and wildlife, and are the oldest living things on earth. But the morality of tree poaching is not as simple as we might think: stealing trees is a form of deeply rooted protest, and a side effect of environmental preservation and protection that doesn't include communities that have been uprooted or marginalized when park boundaries are drawn. As Bourgon discovers, failing to include working class and rural communities in the preservation of these awe-inducing ecosystems can lead to catastrophic results. Featuring excellent investigative reporting, fascinating characters, logging history, political analysis, and cutting-edge tree science, Tree Thieves takes readers on a thrilling journey into the intrigue, crime, and incredible complexity sheltered under the forest canopy.

Title: The Loop: How Technology is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back Author: Jacob Ward Narrator: Jacob Ward Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: This eye-opening narrative journey into the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence reveals the dangerous ways AI is exploiting the unconscious habits of our minds, and the real threat it poses to humanity: "The best book I have ever read about AI" (New York Times bestselling author Roger McNamee). Artificial intelligence is going to change the world as we know it. But the real danger isn't some robot that's going to enslave us: It's our own brain. Our brains are constantly making decisions using shortcuts, biases, and hidden processes—and we're using those same techniques to create technology that makes choices for us. In The Loop, award-winning science journalist Jacob Ward reveals how we are poised to build all of our worst instincts into our AIs, creating a narrow loop where each generation has fewer, predetermined, and even dangerous choices. Taking us on a world tour of the ongoing, real-world experiment of artificial intelligence, The Loop illuminates the dangers of writing dangerous human habits into our machines. From a biometric surveillance state in India that tracks the movements of over a billion people, to a social media control system in China that punishes deviant friendships, to the risky multiple-choice simplicity of automated military action, Ward travels the world speaking with top experts confronting the perils of their research. Each stop reveals how the most obvious patterns in our behavior—patterns an algorithm will use to make decisions about what's best for us—are not the ones we want to perpetuate. Just as politics, marketing, and finance have all exploited the weaknesses of our human programming, artificial intelligence is poised to use the patterns of our lives to manipulate us. The Loop is call to look at ourselves more clearly—our most creative ideas, our most destructive impulses, the ways we help and hurt one another-so we can put only the best parts of ourselves into the thinking machines we create.

Title: The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology Author: Amy Webb, Andrew Hessel Narrator: Andrew Hessel, Landon Woodson, Tim Campbell, Amy Webb, Amanda Dolan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 6 minutes Release date: February 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: What if the miracle that created mRNA vaccines is less a once-in-lifetime event and more the harbinger of the emerging age of synthetic biology? This fusion of biology and computers has a singular goal: to gain access to cells in order to write new––and possibly better––biological code.  Synthetic biology promises to reveal how life is created and how it can be re-created, enabling scientists to rewrite the rules of our reality. It could help us, for example, heal without prescription medications, grow meat without harvesting animals, or confront our looming climate catastrophe. Synthetic biology will determine the ways in which we conceive future generations and how we define family, how we identify disease and treat aging, where we make our homes, and how we nourish ourselves. Soon, we will program living, biological structures as though they were tiny computers.  But who should decide how to engineer living organisms? Whether engineered organisms should be planted, farmed, and released into the wild? Should there be limits to human enhancements? Amy Webb and Andrew Hessel’s riveting examination of synthetic biology and the bioeconomy provide the background for thinking through the upcoming risks and moral dilemmas posed by redesigning life, as well as the vast opportunities waiting for us on the horizon.

Title: This Is Your Mind On Plants: Opium—Caffeine—Mescaline Author: Michael Pollan Narrator: Michael Pollan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: July 8, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.17 of Total 12 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos. In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world. © Michael Pollan 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Michael Pollan Thu, 08 Jul 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506541 thebookvoice.com 7:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506541]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos. In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world. © Michael Pollan 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506541]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Evolution vs. Creationism Author: Scientific American Narrator: Suzie Althens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: December 8, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Charles Robert Darwin’s 1859 landmark book On the Origin of Species introduced the theory of biological evolution to the masses and kicked off a controversy of ideas that persists to this day. Darwin knew he would face religious opposition to a theory of creation that differed from the story in Genesis, but he probably didn’t imagine how long that opposition would last. More than 150 years after Origin, the fight over teaching evolution rages on. Creationists, or those who hold the belief that the universe and all life was made by divine creator, have tried to use a myriad of tactics either to ban the teaching of evolution entirely or to have creationism and intelligent design taught alongside one another in public schools. In Evolution vs. Creationism, we take a close look at the rise of Darwinism, the arguments and opposition by the creationist movement, whether faith and science can coexist, and what could happen if the US continues on an antiscience trajectory. With this book, we went from deep in our archives to current events to examine the revolutionary impact of Darwin’s theory and the controversy that continues today.

Title: What's the Use?: How Mathematics Shapes Everyday Life Author: Ian Stewart Narrator: Quentin Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: See the world in a completely new way as an esteemed mathematician shows how math powers the world—from technology to health care and beyond.  Almost all of us have sat in a math class, wondering when we'd ever need to know how to find the roots of a polynomial or graph imaginary numbers. And in one sense, we were right: if we needed to, we'd use a computer. But as Ian Stewart argues in What's the Use?, math isn't just about boring computations. Rather, it offers us new and profound insights into our world, allowing us to accomplish feats as significant as space exploration and organ donation. From the trigonometry that keeps a satellite in orbit to the prime numbers used by the world's most advanced security systems to the imaginary numbers that enable augmented reality, math isn't just relevant to our lives. It is the very fabric of our existence.

Title: The Story Paradox: How Our Love of Storytelling Builds Societies and Tears them Down Author: Jonathan Gottschall Narrator: Joshua Kane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Storytelling, a tradition that built human civilization, may soon destroy it Humans are storytelling animals. Stories are what make our societies possible. Countless books celebrate their virtues. But Jonathan Gottschall, an expert on the science of stories, argues that there is a dark side to storytelling we can no longer ignore. Storytelling, the very tradition that built human civilization, may be the thing that destroys it. In The Story Paradox, Gottschall explores how a broad consortium of psychologists, communications specialists, neuroscientists, and literary quants are using the scientific method to study how stories affect our brains. The results challenge the idea that storytelling is an obvious force for good in human life. Yes, storytelling can bind groups together, but it is also the main force dragging people apart. And it’s the best method we’ve ever devised for manipulating each other by circumventing rational thought. Behind all civilization’s greatest ills—environmental destruction, runaway demagogues, warfare—you will always find the same master factor: a mind-disordering story. Gottschall argues that societies succeed or fail depending on how they manage these tensions. And it has only become harder, as new technologies that amplify the effects of disinformation campaigns, conspiracy theories, and fake news make separating fact from fiction nearly impossible. With clarity and conviction, Gottschall reveals why our biggest asset has become our greatest threat, and what, if anything, can be done. It is a call to stop asking, “How we can change the world through stories?” and start asking, “How can we save the world from stories?” Jonathan Gottschall Tue, 23 Nov 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506130 thebookvoice.com 7:2:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506130]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI Author: Ray Kurzweil Narrator: Adam Barr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 25 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.88 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to come Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public. In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and 'After Life' technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA. The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with illustrations and graphs from the book.

Title: Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive Author: Philipp Dettmer Narrator: Steve Taylor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 28 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.77 of Total 44 Ratings of Narrator: 4.89 of Total 9 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A deep dive into the immune system that will forever change how you think about your body, from the creator of the popular science YouTube channel Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell   “Through wonderful analogies and a genius for clarifying complex ideas, Immune is a truly brilliant introduction to the human body’s vast system for fighting infections and other threats.”—John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You’re mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door.   So what, exactly, is your immune system?   Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you’ve been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.   Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body’s defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.   Enlivened by immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects—immunology—into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.

Title: Nine Pints: A Journey Through the Money, Medicine, and Mysteries of Blood Author: Rose George Narrator: Rose George Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 20 minutes Release date: May 20, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening exploration of blood, the lifegiving substance with the power of taboo, the value of diamonds and the promise of breakthrough science Blood carries life, yet the sight of it makes people faint. It is a life-saver, and can transmit deadly infections. It is medicine, and a commodity dearer than oil. Each of us has nine to twelve pints of it, yet many don't know their own blood type. For all its ubiqutousness, menstruation is perhaps the single most demonized biological event. In Nine Pints, Rose George takes us from ancient practices of bloodletting to a cutting-edge trauma ward. She introduces Janet Vaughan, who set up one of the first systems of mass blood-donation during the Blitz, and Arunachalam Muruganantham, known as “Menstrual Man” for his work on developing cheap sanitary pads in developing countries. She probes the lucrative business of plasma system, and looks to the future, as researchers seek to bring synthetic blood to hospitals. Spanning science and politics, stories and global epidemics, Nine Pints reveals our life's blood in an entirely new light.

Title: Nine Pints: A Journey Through the Money, Medicine, and Mysteries of Blood Author: Rose George Narrator: Rose George Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 20 minutes Release date: May 20, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening exploration of blood, the lifegiving substance with the power of taboo, the value of diamonds and the promise of breakthrough science Blood carries life, yet the sight of it makes people faint. It is a life-saver, and can transmit deadly infections. It is medicine, and a commodity dearer than oil. Each of us has nine to twelve pints of it, yet many don't know their own blood type. For all its ubiqutousness, menstruation is perhaps the single most demonized biological event. In Nine Pints, Rose George takes us from ancient practices of bloodletting to a cutting-edge trauma ward. She introduces Janet Vaughan, who set up one of the first systems of mass blood-donation during the Blitz, and Arunachalam Muruganantham, known as “Menstrual Man” for his work on developing cheap sanitary pads in developing countries. She probes the lucrative business of plasma system, and looks to the future, as researchers seek to bring synthetic blood to hospitals. Spanning science and politics, stories and global epidemics, Nine Pints reveals our life's blood in an entirely new light.

Title: The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration Author: Sarah Everts Narrator: Sophie Amoss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.43 of Total 14 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An Outside Magazine 2021 Science book pick One of Smithsonian's 10 Best Science Books of 2021 A taboo-busting romp through the shame, stink, and strange science of sweating. Sweating may be one of our weirdest biological functions, but it’s also one of our most vital and least understood. In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts delves into its role in the body—and in human history. Why is sweat salty? Why do we sweat when stressed? Why do some people produce colorful sweat? And should you worry about Big Brother tracking the hundreds of molecules that leak out in your sweat—not just the stinky ones or alleged pheromones—but the ones that reveal secrets about your health and vices? Everts’s entertaining investigation takes readers around the world—from Moscow, where she participates in a dating event in which people sniff sweat in search of love, to New Jersey, where companies hire trained armpit sniffers to assess the efficacy of their anti-sweat products. In Finland, Everts explores the delights of the legendary smoke sauna and the purported health benefits of good sweat, while in the Netherlands she slips into the sauna theater scene, replete with costumes, special effects, and towel dancing. Along the way, Everts traces humanity’s long quest to control sweat, culminating in the multibillion-dollar industry for deodorants and antiperspirants. And she shows that while sweating can be annoying, our sophisticated temperature control strategy is one of humanity’s most powerful biological traits. Deeply researched and written with great zest, The Joy of Sweat is a fresh take on a gross but engrossing fact of human life.

Title: Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet Connection Author: Sam Apple Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 58 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The extraordinary story of the Nazi-era scientific genius who discovered how cancer cells eat—and what it means for how we should. The Nobel laureate Otto Warburg—a cousin of the famous finance Warburgs—was widely regarded in his day as one of the most important biochemists of the twentieth century, a man whose research was integral to humanity’s understanding of cancer. He was also among the most despised figures in Nazi Germany. As a Jewish homosexual living openly with his male partner, Warburg represented all that the Third Reich abhorred. Yet Hitler and his top advisors dreaded cancer, and protected Warburg in the hope that he could cure it. In Ravenous, Sam Apple reclaims Otto Warburg as a forgotten, morally compromised genius who pursued cancer single-mindedly even as Europe disintegrated around him. While the vast majority of Jewish scientists fled Germany in the anxious years leading up to World War II, Warburg remained in Berlin, working under the watchful eye of the dictatorship. With the Nazis goose-stepping their way across Europe, systematically rounding up and murdering millions of Jews, Warburg awoke each morning in an elegant, antiques-filled home and rode horses with his partner, Jacob Heiss, before delving into his research at the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. Hitler and other Nazi leaders, Apple shows, were deeply troubled by skyrocketing cancer rates across the Western world, viewing cancer as an existential threat akin to Judaism or homosexuality. Ironically, they viewed Warburg as Germany’s best chance of survival. Setting Warburg’s work against an absorbing history of cancer science, Apple follows him as he arrives at his central belief that cancer is a problem of metabolism. Though Warburg’s metabolic approach to cancer was considered groundbreaking, his work was soon eclipsed in the early postwar era, after the discovery of the structure of DNA set off a search for the genetic origins of cancer. Remarkably, Warburg’s theory has undergone a resurgence in our own time, as scientists have begun to investigate the dangers of sugar and the link between obesity and cancer, finding that the way we eat can influence how cancer cells take up nutrients and grow. Rooting his revelations in extensive archival research as well as dozens of interviews with today’s leading cancer authorities, Apple demonstrates how Warburg’s midcentury work may well hold the secret to why cancer became so common in the modern world and how we can reverse the trend. A tale of scientific discovery, personal peril, and the race to end a disastrous disease, Ravenous would be the stuff of the most inventive fiction were it not, in fact, true.

Title: A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life Author: Bret Weinstein, Heather Heying Narrator: Bret Weinstein, Heather Heying Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.63 of Total 68 Ratings of Narrator: 4.84 of Total 19 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A provocative exploration of the tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes—and what we can do about it.   We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, lone­liness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond?   For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the accelerat­ing rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. We evolved to live in clans, but today many people don’t even know their neighbors’ names. In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex—and its ancient roots. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we are not built for is killing us.   In this book, Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and explor­ing Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems to confront today’s pressing social ills—from widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and back­ward education practices. Asking the questions many mod­ern people are afraid to ask, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life. *This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing illustrations and charts from the book.

Dr. Quave is a leading medical ethnobotanist—someone who identifies and studies plants that may be able to treat antimicrobial resistance and other threatening illnesses—helping to provide clues for the next generation of advanced medicines. And as a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, she's done it all with just one leg.

Title: Being You: A New Science of Consciousness Author: Anil Seth Narrator: Anil Seth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'Being You is an exhilarating book: a vast-ranging, phenomenal achievement that will undoubtedly become a seminal text.' —The Guardian Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. What does it mean to “be you”—that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question. Historically, humanity has considered the nature of consciousness to be a primarily spiritual or philosophical inquiry, but scientific research is now mapping out compelling biological theories and explanations for consciousness and selfhood. Now, internationally renowned neuroscience professor, researcher, and author Anil Seth is offers a window into our consciousness in BEING YOU: A New Science of Consciousness. Anil Seth is both a leading expert on the neuroscience of consciousness and one of most prominent spokespeople for this relatively new field of science. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth has been interviewed for documentaries aired on the BBC, Netflix, and Amazon and podcasts by Sam Harris, Russell Brand, and Chris Anderson, and his 2017 TED Talk on the topic has been viewed over 11 million times, a testament to his uncanny ability to make unimaginably complex science accessible and entertaining. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of charts and illustrations from the book.

Title: A Short History of Humanity: How Migration Made Us Who We Are Author: Johannes Krause, Thomas Trappe Narrator: Stephen Graybill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 9 minutes Release date: April 8, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Humanity has often found itself on the precipice. We've survived and thrived because we've never stopped moving... In this eye-opening book, Johannes Krause, Chair of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Humanity, offers a new way of understanding our past, present and future. Marshalling unique insights from archaeogenetics, an emerging new discipline that allows us to read our ancestors' DNA like journals chronicling personal stories of migration, Krause charts two millennia of adaption, movement and survival, culminating in the triumph of Homo Sapiens as we swept through Europe and beyond in successive waves of migration - developing everything from language, the patriarchy, disease, art and a love of pets as we did so. We also meet our ancestors, from those many of us have heard of - such as Homo Erectus and the Neanderthals - to the wildly unfamiliar but no less real: the recently discovered Denisovans, who ranged across Asia and, like humans, interbred with Neanderthals; the Aurignacians, skilled artists who, 40,000 years ago, brought about an extraordinary transformation in what our species could invent and create; the Varna, who buried their loved ones with gold long before the Pharaohs of Egypt did; and the Gravettians, big game hunters who were Europe's most successful early settlers until they perished in the face of the toughest opponent humanity had ever faced: the ice age. As well as being a radical new telling of our shared story, this book is a reminder that the global problems that keep us awake at night - climate catastrophe; the sudden emergence of deadly epidemics; refugee crises; ethnic conflict; over-population - are all things we've faced, and overcome, before.

Title: The Science of Self-Empowerment Author: Gregg Braden Narrator: Gregg Braden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 30, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Now in paperback: At the cutting edge of science and spirituality, New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden explains that evolution is not the whole story of humanity--and offers a new understanding of our origins that can help us tap the extraordinary abilities we already have. What would it mean to discover we're designed to live extraordinary lives of self-healing, longevity, and deep intuition? Is it possible that the advanced awareness achieved by monks, nuns, and mystics--considered rare in the past--is actually meant to be a normal part of our daily lives? In this revelatory book, now available for the first time in paperback, five-time New York Times best-selling author and 218 Templeton Award nominee Gregg Braden explains that we no longer need to ask these questions as 'What if?' Recent discoveries ranging from human evolution and genetics to the new science of neuro-cardiology (the bridge between the brain and the heart) have overturned 15 years of thinking when it comes to the way we think of ourselves, our origin, and our capabilities. In this reader-friendly journey of discovery, Braden begins with the fact that we exist as we do, even more empowered, and more connected with ourselves and the world than scientists have believed in the past. It's this undisputable fact that leads to even deeper mysteries. 'How do we awaken the extraordinary abilities that come from such an awesome connection?' 'What role does our ancient and mysterious heritage play in our lives today?' Join Gregg as he crosses the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality to answer precisely these questions. In doing so he reveals a) specific tools, techniques, and practices to awaken our deep intuition on-demand, for self healing and longevity; and 2) concrete solutions to the social issues that are destroying our families and dividing us as people, including the bullying of young people, hate crimes, the growing epidemic of suicide, religious extremism, and more. When new discoveries prove that the existing human story is no longer based in fact, it's time to change the story. This simple truth is at the heart of the book you're about to read.This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Title: Mind Shift: How Culture Transformed the Human Brain Author: John Parrington Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 1, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The mental capacities of the human mind far outstrip those of other animals. Our imaginations and creativity have produced art, music, and literature; built bridges and cathedrals; enabled us to probe distant galaxies, and to ponder the meaning of our existence. When our minds become disordered, they can also take us to the depths of despair. What makes the human brain unique, and able to generate such a rich mental life?In this book, John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language. The complex social interaction brought by language opened up the possibility of shared conceptual worlds, enriched with rhythmic sounds, and images that could be drawn on cave walls. This transformation enabled modern humans to leap rapidly beyond all other species, and generated an exceptional human consciousness, a sense of self that arises as a product of our brain biology and the social interactions we experience. Our minds, even those of identical twins, are unique because they are the result of this extraordinarily plastic brain, exquisitely shaped and tuned by the social and cultural environment in which we grew up and to which we continue to respond through life. Linking early work by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky to the findings of modern neuroscience, Parrington explores how language, culture, and society mediate brain function, and what this view of the human mind may bring to our understanding and treatment of mental illness.Unlike all other animals, the 'mind shift' we humans underwent has left us with the extraordinary power of conscious awareness. And words may lie at the heart of that transformation.

Title: Electric Brain: How the New Science of Brainwaves Reads Minds, Tells Us How We Learn, and Helps Us Change for the Better Author: R. Douglas Fields Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 4, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: What is as unique as your fingerprints and more revealing than your diary? Hint: Your body is emitting them right now and has been every single day of your life. Brainwaves. Analyzing brainwaves, the imperceptible waves of electricity surging across your scalp, has been possible for nearly a century. But only now are neuroscientists becoming aware of the wealth of information brainwaves hold about a person’s life, thoughts, and future health. From the moment a reclusive German doctor discovered waves of electricity radiating from the heads of his patients in the 1920s, brainwaves have sparked astonishment and intrigue, yet the significance of the discovery and its momentous implications have been poorly understood. Now, it is clear that these silent broadcasts can actually reveal a stunning wealth of information about any one of us. In Electric Brain, world-renowned neuroscientist and author R. Douglas Fields takes us on an enthralling journey into the world of brainwaves, detailing how new brain science could fundamentally change society, separating fact from hyperbole along the way. In this eye-opening and in-depth look at the most recent findings in brain science, Fields explores groundbreaking research that shows brainwaves can: - Reveal the type of brain you have—its strengths and weaknesses and your aptitude for learning different types of information - Allow scientists to watch your brain learn, glean your intelligence, and even tell how adventurous you are - Expose hidden dysfunctions—including signifiers of mental illness and neurological disorders - Render your thoughts and transmit them to machines and back from machines into your brain - Meld minds by telepathically transmitting information from one brain to another - Enable individuals to rewire their own brains and improve cognitive performance Written by one of the neuroscientists on the cutting edge of brainwave research, Electric Brain tells a fascinating and obscure story of discovery, explains the latest science, and looks to the future—and the exciting possibilities in store for medicine, technology, and our understanding of ourselves.

Title: Scientist: E. O. Wilson: A Life in Nature Author: Richard Rhodes Narrator: Lincoln Hoppe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: November 9, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A masterful, timely, fully authorized biography of the great and hugely influential biologist and naturalist E. O. Wilson, one of the most ground-breaking and controversial scientists of our time—from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb “An impressive account of one of the 20th century’s most prominent biologists, for whom the natural world is ‘a sanctuary and a realm of boundless adventure; the fewer the people in it, the better.’” —The New York Times Book Review Few biologists in the long history of that science have been as productive, as ground-breaking and as controversial as the Alabama-born Edward Osborne Wilson. At 91 years of age he may be the most eminent American scientist in any field. Fascinated from an early age by the natural world in general and ants in particular, his field work on them and on all social insects has vastly expanded our knowledge of their many species and fascinating ways of being. This work led to his 1975 book Sociobiology, which created an intellectual firestorm from his contention that all animal behavior, including that of humans, is governed by the laws of evolution and genetics. Subsequently Wilson has become a leading voice on the crucial importance to all life of biodiversity and has worked tirelessly to synthesize the fields of science and the humanities in a fruitful way. Richard Rhodes is himself a towering figure in the field of science writing and he has had complete and unfettered access to Wilson, his associates, and his papers in writing this book. The result is one of the most accomplished and anticipated and urgently needed scientific biographies in years.

Title: A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds Author: Scott Weidensaul Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 24 minutes Release date: March 30, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: In the past two decades, our understanding of the navigational and physiological feats that enable birds to cross immense oceans, fly above the highest mountains, or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch has exploded. What we've learned of these key migrations is nothing short of extraordinary. Bird migration entails almost unfathomable endurance, like a sparrow-sized sandpiper that will fly nonstop from Canada to Venezuela—the equivalent of running 126 consecutive marathons without food, water, or rest—avoiding dehydration by 'drinking' moisture from its own muscles and organs, while orienting itself using the earth's magnetic field. Crossing the Pacific Ocean in nine days of nonstop flight, as some birds do, leaves little time for sleep, but migrants can put half their brains to sleep for a few seconds at a time, alternating sides—and their reaction time actually improves. These and other revelations convey both the wonder of bird migration and its global sweep, from the mudflats of the Yellow Sea in China to the remote mountains of northeastern India to the dusty hills of southern Cyprus. This breathtaking work of nature writing also introduces listeners to those scientists, researchers, and bird lovers trying to preserve global migratory patterns in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.

Title: First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human Author: Jeremy Desilva Narrator: Kaleo Griffith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Blending history, science, and culture, a stunning and highly engaging evolutionary story exploring how walking on two legs allowed humans to become the planet’s dominant species. Humans are the only mammals to walk on two, rather than four legs—a locomotion known as bipedalism. We strive to be upstanding citizens, honor those who stand tall and proud, and take a stand against injustices. We follow in each other’s footsteps and celebrate a child’s beginning to walk. But why, and how, exactly, did we take our first steps? And at what cost? Bipedalism has its drawbacks: giving birth is more difficult and dangerous; our running speed is much slower than other animals; and we suffer a variety of ailments, from hernias to sinus problems. In First Steps, paleoanthropologist Jeremy DeSilva explores how unusual and extraordinary this seemingly ordinary ability is. A seven-million-year journey to the very origins of the human lineage, First Steps shows how upright walking was a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human—from our technological abilities, our thirst for exploration, our use of language–and may have laid the foundation for our species’ traits of compassion, empathy, and altruism. Moving from developmental psychology labs to ancient fossil sites throughout Africa and Eurasia, DeSilva brings to life our adventure walking on two legs. Delving deeply into the story of our past and the new discoveries rewriting our understanding of human evolution, First Steps examines how walking upright helped us rise above all over species on this planet.

Title: Connections: The New Science of Emotion Author: Karl Deisseroth Narrator: Karl Deisseroth, Natalie Naudus, Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 32 minutes Release date: June 17, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: In this riveting journey through the hidden realms of the human mind, a world-renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist explores the origins of human emotion, and examines what mental illnesses reveal about all of us - how the broken can illuminate the unbroken. Why do we feel what we feel? Mental illness is one of the greatest causes of human suffering, but the reasons we bear this burden, and the nature of these diseases, have remained mysterious. Now, our understanding has reached a tipping point. In Connections, Professor Karl Deisseroth intertwines gripping case studies from his experience as an emergency psychiatry physician, with breakthrough scientific discoveries from astounding new technology (including optogenetics, which he developed to allow turning specific brain cells on or off, with light). By linking insights from this technology to deeply moving stories of his patients and to our shared evolutionary history, Deisseroth tells a larger story about the origins of human emotion. A young woman with an eating disorder reveals how the mind can rebel against the brain's most primitive drives of hunger and thirst; an older man, smothered into silence by dementia, shows how humans evolved to feel joy and its absence; and a lonely Uyghur woman far from her homeland teaches both the importance - and challenges - of deep social bonds. Addressing some of the most timeless questions about the human condition while illuminating the roots of misunderstood disorders such as depression, psychosis, schizophrenia and sociopathy, Connections transforms the way we understand the brain, and our selves.

Title: Move: How the New Science of Body Movement Can Set Your Mind Free Author: Caroline Williams Narrator: Catrin Walker-Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 38 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: An eye-opening journey into the power of human movement and how we can harness it to optimize our brain health, boost our mood and improve every aspect our lives For our earliest ancestors who hunted and gathered, movement meant survival. Our brains evolved to reward physical activity. Moving, thinking and feeling have always been inextricably linked. Yet what happens when we stop moving? Today, on average, we spend around 70% of our lives sitting or lying completely still. Our sedentary lifestyle—desk jobs, long commutes and lots of screen time—is not only bad for our bodies. It can also result in anxiety, depression and a lower overall IQ. But there’s good news. Even the simplest movements can reactivate our bodies and open up a hotline to our minds, improving our overall well-being and longevity. And we don’t have to spend countless hours in the gym. In fact, exercise as we understand it misses the point. Veteran science journalist Caroline Williams explores the cutting-edge research behind brain health and physical activity, interviewing scientists from around the world to completely reframe our relationship to movement. Along the way she reveals easy tricks that we could all use to improve our memory, maximize our creativity, strengthen our emotional literacy and more. A welcome counterpoint to the current mindfulness craze, Move offers a more stimulating and productive way of freeing our caged minds to live our best life.

Title: Moody: The Hidden Power of Hormones Author: Amy Thomson Narrator: Gesella Ohaka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 49 minutes Release date: March 4, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. There is a secret inside you which, once you understand it fully, has the capacity to unlock untold potential. Once you learn the science of your hormones, you will be able to harness it forever. Hormones were something Amy Thomson, founder and CEO of leading women's health app and tech service Moody, never paid attention to, until one day her periods stopped and what had been an inconvenience each month became a barometer for her body's health and mental happiness. When she discovered that her hormonal burnout was driven by stress, she quit her job and focused on trying to understand how her body worked, to establish why and how she had pushed herself too far. In this guide, Amy shares the research and science behind how our hormones work for twenty-first-century survival, how understanding them can help you build better and healthier routines, and why the systems and cycles inside us are an invisible but powerful force. With insights from nutritionists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists, personal trainers and others, Moody provides a holistic and practical blueprint for understanding your hormones and optimising your life around them. Praise for Moody 'Amy's book is everything I should have learned at school. It is a reminder to empower ourselves, in a world that still sadly lacks so much knowledge around women's health, by getting to know our own bodies more intimately - with the help of technology built by women' Emma Gannon 'Moody is a fascinating and friendly guide for you to understand you better.' Melissa Hemsley 'Knowledge is power and this book equips you with the power to unlock potential and happiness.'

Title: Viruses: A Very Short Introduction Author: Dorothy H. Crawford Narrator: Jennifer M. Dixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 59 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Viruses are big news. From pandemics such as HIV, swine flu, and SARS, we are constantly being bombarded with information about new lethal infections. In this Very Short Introduction, Dorothy Crawford demonstrates how clever these entities really are. From their discovery and the unravelling of their intricate structures, Crawford demonstrates how these tiny parasites are by far the most abundant life forms on the planet. In this fully updated edition, Crawford recounts stories of renowned killer viruses such as the recent Ebola and Zika epidemics, as well as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and considers the importance of air travel in facilitating the international spread of viruses in the twenty-first century. Discussing the impact of global warming, which is increasing the range of vector-transmitted viruses such as dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus, she also considers the effect this will have on native populations in subtropical and temperate climates of the Americas, Australasia, and Europe. By examining our lifestyle in the twenty-first century, Crawford looks to the future to ask whether we can ever live in harmony with viruses, and considers the ways in which we may need to adapt to prevent emerging viruses with devastating consequences.

Title: Models of the Mind: How Physics, Engineering and Mathematics Have Shaped Our Understanding of the Brain Author: Grace Lindsay Narrator: Wendy Tremont King Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 0 minutes Release date: May 4, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Grace Lindsay reveals the value of describing the machinery of neuroscience using the elegant language of mathematics. The brain is made up of 85 billion neurons, which are connected by over 100 trillion synapses. For over a century, a diverse array of researchers have been trying to find a language that can be used to capture the essence of what these neurons do and how they communicate—and how those communications create thoughts, perceptions and actions. The language they were looking for was mathematics, and we would not be able to understand the brain as we do today without it. In Models of the Mind, author and computational neuroscientist Grace Lindsay explains how mathematical models have allowed scientists to understand and describe many of the brain's processes, including decision-making, sensory processing, quantifying memory, and more. She introduces listeners to the most important concepts in modern neuroscience, and highlights the tensions that arise when bringing the abstract world of mathematical modelling into contact with the messy details of biology.

Title: Hard to Break: Why Our Brains Make Habits Stick Author: Russell A. Poldrack Narrator: Tim Fannon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: May 4, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.63 of Total 46 Ratings of Narrator: 4.2 of Total 5 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The neuroscience of why bad habits are so hard to break—and how evidence-based strategies can help us change our behavior more effectivelyWe all have habits we’d like to break, but for many of us it can be nearly impossible to do so. There is a good reason for this: the brain is a habit-building machine. In Hard to Break, leading neuroscientist Russell Poldrack provides an engaging and authoritative account of the science of how habits are built in the brain, why they are so hard to break, and how evidence-based strategies may help us change unwanted behaviors. Hard to Break offers a clear-eyed tour of what neuroscience tells us about habit change and debunks “easy fixes” that aren’t backed by science. It explains how dopamine is essential for building habits and how the battle between habits and intentional goaldirected behaviors reflects a competition between different brain systems. Along the way, we learn how cues trigger habits; why we should make rules, not decisions; how the stimuli of the modern world hijack the brain’s habit machinery and lead to drug abuse and other addictions; and how neuroscience may one day enable us to hack our habits. Shifting from the individual to society, the book also discusses the massive habit changes that will be needed to address the biggest challenges of our time. Moving beyond the hype to offer a deeper understanding of the biology of habits in the brain, Hard to Break reveals how we might be able to make the changes we desire—and why we should have greater empathy with ourselves and others who struggle to do so.

In You Bet Your Life, physician Paul A. Offit argues that, from the first blood transfusions four hundred years ago to the hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine, risk has been essential to the discovery of new treatments. More importantly, understanding the risks is crucial to whether, as a society or as individuals, we accept them.   Told in Offit’s vigorous and rigorous style, You Bet Your Life is an entertaining history of medicine. But it also lays bare the tortured relationships between intellectual breakthroughs, political realities, and human foibles. Our pandemic year has shown us, with its debates over lockdowns, masks, and vaccines, how easy it is to get everything wrong.

Title: The Spike: An Epic Journey Through the Brain in 2.1 Seconds Author: Mark Humphries Narrator: Anand Jagatia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: March 9, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Anand Jagatia tells the extraordinary story of a neural impulse and what it reveals about how our brains work We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips 'spikes.' Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide. In The Spike, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to understand about them. Drawing on decades of research in neuroscience, Humphries explores how spikes are born, how they are transmitted, and how they lead us to action. He dives into previously unanswered mysteries: Why are most neurons silent? What causes neurons to fire spikes spontaneously, without input from other neurons or the outside world? Why do most spikes fail to reach any destination? Humphries presents a new vision of the brain, one where fundamental computations are carried out by spontaneous spikes that predict what will happen in the world, helping us to perceive, decide, and react quickly enough for our survival. Traversing neuroscience's expansive terrain, The Spike follows a single electrical response to illuminate how our extraordinary brains work.

Now, we’ve combed through our archives and have compiled some of the most interesting questions (and answers) into a series of books. Organized by subject, each title provides short, easily digestible answers to questions on that particular branch of the sciences. The Human Body and Mind is the third book in this series, and it tackles questions about our own strange and mysterious biology. Our experts field queries on evolution, bodily quirks, and psychological feats. Have you ever wondered why humans lost their body hair? Curious about what causes a hangover? Or what makes that popping sound when we crack our knuckles? What about the oft-cited maxim that we only use 10 percent of our brains? Professors, scientists, and biologists provide answers that are at once accurate, understandable, and sometimes just plain funny. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495538 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495538]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters Author: Steven Pinker Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 19 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Can reading a book make you more rational? Can it help you understand why there is so much irrationality in the world? These are the goals of Rationality, Steven Pinker's follow-up to Enlightenment Now. In the twenty-first century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures and conspiracy theorizing? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species - cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies and illusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives and set the benchmarks for rationality itself. Instead, he explains that we think in ways that are sensible in the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up over the millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, correlation and causation, and decision-making. These tools are not a standard part of our educational curricula, and have never been presented clearly and entertainingly in a single book - until now. Rationality also explores its opposite: how the rational pursuit of self-interest, sectarian solidarity and uplifting mythology by individuals can add up to crippling irrationality in a society. Collective rationality depends on norms that are explicitly designed to promote objectivity and truth. Rationality matters. It leads to better choices in our lives and in the public sphere, and is the ultimate driver of social justice and moral progress. Brimming with insight and humour, Rationality will enlighten, inspire and empower. © Steven Pinker 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Steven Pinker Tue, 28 Sep 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495538 thebookvoice.com 11:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495538]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Hurts So Good: The Science and Culture of Pain on Purpose Author: Leigh Cowart Narrator: Leigh Cowart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: "A thoughtful, funny, and at times lyrical" (Wall Street Journal) exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers.   At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better—a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer—they’re an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience?   By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain—a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.

Title: How to Feel: The Science and Meaning of Touch Author: Sushma Subramanian Narrator: Donna Postel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: May 18, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: We are out of touch. Many people fear that we are trapped inside our screens, becoming less in tune with our bodies and losing our connection to the physical world. But the sense of touch has been undervalued since long before the days of digital isolation. Because of deeply rooted beliefs that favor the cerebral over the corporeal, touch is maligned as dirty or sentimental, in contrast with supposedly more elevated modes of perceiving the world. How to Feel explores the scientific, physical, emotional, and cultural aspects of touch, reconnecting us to what is arguably our most important sense. Sushma Subramanian introduces listeners to the scientists whose groundbreaking research is underscoring the role of touch in our lives. Through vivid individual stories—a man who lost his sense of touch in his late teens, a woman who experiences touch-emotion synesthesia, her own efforts to become less touch averse—Subramanian explains the science of the somatosensory system and our philosophical beliefs about it. The book highlights the growing field of haptics, which is trying to incorporate tactile interactions into devices such as phones that touch us back and prosthetic limbs that can feel. How to Feel offers a new appreciation for a vital but misunderstood sense and how we can use it to live more fully.

Each new discovery adds to or revises our story and our understanding of how we came to be the way we are. In this audiobook, The Human Odyssey, we explore the evolution of those characteristics that make us human. The first section looks at our family tree and why some branches survived and not others. Swings in climate are emerging as a factor in what traits succeeded and failed; meanwhile, DNA analyses show that Homo sapiens interbred with other human species, which played a key role in our survival. Section two examines those traits that separate us from other primates. Recent data indicate that our hairless skin was important to the rise of other human features, and other research is getting closer to illuminating how humans became monogamous. In the final section we speculate on the future of human evolution in a world where advances in technology, medicine, and other areas protect us from harmful factors like disease, causing some scientists to claim that humans are no longer subject to natural selection and our evolution has ceased. But, like us, our story will continue to evolve.

Title: Three Views on Christianity and Science Series: Part of Counterpoints: Bible and Theology Author: Zondervan Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 12, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: When it comes to relating Christianity to modern Western culture, perhaps no topic is more controversial than the relationship between Christianity and science. Outside the church, the myth of an age-old conflict between science and Christianity is nearly ubiquitous in popular culture and can poison the well before a fruitful dialogue can begin. Within the church, opposing viewpoints on the relation between Christianity and science often lead to division and rancor. Three Views on Christianity and Science addresses both types of conflict. Featuring leading evangelical representatives, it presents three primary options for the compatibility of Christianity and science and models constructive dialogue on the surrounding controversial issues. The highlighted contributors and their views are: - Michael Ruse, Independence View--When functioning correctly, science and Christian theology operate independently of each other, seeking answers to different questions through different means. - Alister McGrath, Dialogue View--Though the natural sciences and Christian philosophy and theology function differently, they can and should inform each other. - Bruce L. Gordon, Constrained Integration View--Science, philosophy, and theology all contribute to our understanding of reality. Their interactions constrain each other and together present an optimally coherent and integrated picture of reality. By engaging with the viewpoints of the contributors, listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the compatibility of science and Christianity, as well as of the positions of those who disagree with them. Scholars, students, pastors, and interested laypeople will be able to make use of this material in research, assignments, sermons and lessons, evangelism, and apologetics.

The highlighted contributors and their views are: - Michael Ruse, Independence View--When functioning correctly, science and Christian theology operate independently of each other, seeking answers to different questions through different means. - Alister McGrath, Dialogue View--Though the natural sciences and Christian philosophy and theology function differently, they can and should inform each other. - Bruce L. Gordon, Constrained Integration View--Science, philosophy, and theology all contribute to our understanding of reality. Their interactions constrain each other and together present an optimally coherent and integrated picture of reality. By engaging with the viewpoints of the contributors, listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the compatibility of science and Christianity, as well as of the positions of those who disagree with them. Scholars, students, pastors, and interested laypeople will be able to make use of this material in research, assignments, sermons and lessons, evangelism, and apologetics.

Outside the church, the myth of an age-old conflict between science and Christianity is nearly ubiquitous in popular culture and can poison the well before a fruitful dialogue can begin.

Do you create your own destiny? Or do you merely play whatever hand the universe has dealt you? This provocative audio series will stimulate your mind by raising these and other timeless questions about free will and determinism. As you analyze these competing philosophies, you will find that every answer raises fascinating new questions about morality, fate, consciousness, and the existence of a higher power. In this fascinating audio series, host Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn welcomes a total of 13 guest experts to discuss free will, identity, and the possibility of the afterlife. Each episode is crafted as a series of one-on-one interviews. Kuhn's interlocutors include Jared Diamond, Peter van Inwagen, and Daniel Clement Dennett III. A Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of field-spanning books on human societies, Diamond is a professor of geography at UCLA. Meanwhile, Notre Dame philosophy professor van Inwagen is a leading figure in contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of action. Dennett, a philosophy professor and cognitive scientist, is director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University.   Recent neuroscientific discoveries have fanned the flames of the free will debate. The implications of this debate are far-reaching and potentially paradigm-shifting. Explore its vital questions with the world's greatest minds.   Note: Lectures 1 and 3-"Is Free Will an Illusion?" and "Why Is Free Will a Mystery?"-were funded in part by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.   This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Title: Pain: The Science of the Feeling Brain Author: Abdul-Ghaaliq Lalkhen Narrator: Russell Bentley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: January 14, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Pain is part of human existence but we understand very little of the mechanics of it. We damage ourselves, we feel pain, we seek help from a professional or learn to not do that bad thing again. The story of what goes on in our body is not this simple. Even medical practitioners themselves often fail to grasp the complexities of our minds and bodies and how they interact when dealing with pain stimulus. Throughout history we've tried to prevent it and mediate its affects, resulting in the current situation we find ourselves; highly medicated with a booming opiates industry. Common conception still equates pain with tissue damage but that is only a very small part of the story. A woman who has just undergone a caesarean reports dramatically less pain and recovers quicker than a patient who has had kidney stones removed in a similarly damaging operation. The soldier who drags themselves to safety after being shot deals with pain in a remarkably different way to someone suffering a similar injury on a street. The truth is that pain is a complex mix of nerve endings, psychological state, social preconceptions and situational awareness. Pain is the first book to explain the current issues and complexities surrounding the treatment of pain and how society deals with those in pain, to explain how our bodies relate to pain as well as explaining how we've come to our current relationship with pain (and why that is problematic) and what the future holds.

Title: The Science of Genius Author: Scientific American Narrator: Ann Richardson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: August 25, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: How do we define genius? Standardized testing to measure intelligence began in the first half of the twentieth century, but a high IQ score is only one way to quantify genius. Another is by virtue of extraordinary achievement and expertise in science and the arts. The second is probably more useful, but these debates illustrate how little we know about the origins, development, or processes of intelligence. In this audiobook, Eureka! The Science of Genius, we review the latest research on the nature of intellectual and creative achievement, including traits that geniuses tend to share, how much of their ability is nature versus nurture, the cognitive processes involved during the stages of discovery and creativity, and, most importantly, what we can do to enhance intelligence. While genetics have a large role to play, even geniuses have to work to gain the necessary expertise—although they spend less time to acquire it than their less endowed counterparts. Imaging research also indicates that there is no one “blueprint” for intelligence. Many articles look at either nurturing intelligence in children or enhancing it in adults, and the good news is that intellectual abilities are not set in stone. Research is providing insight into what happens in the brain when we learn, leading to changes in educational practices.

Title: The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature Author: Daniel Levitin Narrator: Daniel Levitin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: February 16, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Dividing the sum total of human musical achievement, from Beethoven to The Beatles, Busta Rhymes to Bach, into just six fundamental forms, Levitin illuminates, through songs of friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love, how music has been instrumental in the evolution of language, thought and culture. And how, far from being a bit of a song and dance, music is at the core of what it means to be human. A one-time record producer, now a leading neuroscientist, Levitin has composed a catchy and startlingly ambitious narrative that weaves together Darwin and Dionne Warwick, memoir and biology, anthropology and a jukebox of anecdote to create nothing less than the ' soundtrack of civilisation'. © Daniel Levitin 2019 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Daniel Levitin Tue, 16 Feb 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488534 thebookvoice.com 10:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488534]]> to listen full audiobooks.

A one-time record producer, now a leading neuroscientist, Levitin has composed a catchy and startlingly ambitious narrative that weaves together Darwin and Dionne Warwick, memoir and biology, anthropology and a jukebox of anecdote to create nothing less than the ' soundtrack of civilisation'. © Daniel Levitin 2019 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488366 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488366]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Handmade: A Scientist's Search for Meaning Through Making Author: Anna Ploszajski Narrator: Anna Ploszajski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 24 minutes Release date: May 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: From atomic structures to theories about magnetic forces, scientific progress has given us a good grasp on the properties of many different materials. However, science cannot tell us how to measure the temperature of steel just by looking at it, or how to sculpt stone into all kinds of shapes, or what it feels like to blow up a balloon of glass. Handmade is the story of materials through making and doing. Author and material scientist Anna Ploszajski journeys into the domain of makers and craftspeople to comprehend how the most popular materials really work. Their accumulated knowledge through handson trial and error has been gathered by generation after generation of experimenters and tinkerers, and they understand the materiality of objects far better than any scientist with a textbook. Anna's is the fresh and entertaining perspective of someone at the forefront of the field. Each chapter centres around an everyday material and features Anna's accounts of learning from masters of their respective crafts. Along the way, she builds a fuller picture of materials and their place in society. She visits a female blacksmith artist to see, hear, smell and strike steel herself, explores how working with one of the most primal of materials, clay, has brought about some of the most advanced technologies, and delves down to the atomic scale of glass to find out what makes it ‘glassy'. Handmade affords us a new understanding of the materials we encounter every day and an appreciation for the skills needed to fashion them into objects that are perfectly formed for the jobs they do.

Title: The Oracle of Night: The History and Science of Dreams Author: Sidarta Ribeiro Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 43 minutes Release date: August 31, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking history of the human mind told through our experience of dreams—from the earliest accounts to current scientific findings—and their essential role in the formation of who we are and the world we have made. 'A resounding case for the mystery, beauty and cognitive importance of dreams.' —The New York Times   What is a dream? Why do we dream? How do our bodies and minds use them? These questions are the starting point for this unprecedented study of the role and significance of this phenomenon. An inves­tigation on a grand scale, it encompasses literature, anthropology, religion, and science, articulating the essential place dreams occupy in human culture and how they functioned as the catalyst that compelled us to transform our earthly habitat into a human world.   From the earliest cave paintings—where Sidarta Ribeiro locates a key to humankind’s first dreams and how they contributed to our capacity to perceive past and future and our ability to conceive of the existence of souls and spirits—to today’s cutting-edge scientific research, Ribeiro arrives at revolutionary conclusions about the role of dreams in human existence and evolution. He explores the advances that contempo­rary neuroscience, biochemistry, and psychology have made into the connections between sleep, dreams, and learning. He explains what dreams have taught us about the neural basis of memory and the transfor­mation of memory in recall. And he makes clear that the earliest insight into dreams as oracular has been elucidated by contemporary research.   Accessible, authoritative, and fascinating, The Oracle of Night gives us a wholly new way to under­stand this most basic of human experiences.

Title: The Pattern Seekers: How Autism Drives Human Invention Author: Simon Baron-Cohen Narrator: Jonathan Cowley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: February 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking argument about the link between autism and ingenuity. Why can humans alone invent? In The Pattern Seekers, Cambridge University psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen makes a case that autism is as crucial to our creative and cultural history as the mastery of fire. Indeed, Baron-Cohen argues that autistic people have played a key role in human progress for seventy thousand years, from the first tools to the digital revolution. How? Because the same genes that cause autism enable the pattern seeking that is essential to our species' inventiveness. However, these abilities exact a great cost on autistic people, including social and often medical challenges, so Baron-Cohen calls on us to support and celebrate autistic people in both their disabilities and their triumphs. Ultimately, The Pattern Seekers isn't just a new theory of human civilization, but a call to consider anew how society treats those who think differently.

Title: Heartwarming: How Our Inner Thermostat Made Us Human Author: Hans Rocha Ijzerman Narrator: Basil Sands Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A hot cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa is calming and comforting—but how can holding a warm mug affect our emotions? In Heartwarming, social psychologist Hans Rocha IJzerman explores temperature through the long lens of evolution. Temperature contributed to our evolution—our upright walking, our loss of fur, and our big brains—and now continues to affect our lives in unexpected ways, and the link from a warm mug to our emotions is anything but straightforward. Studies have shown, for example, that a chilly deliberation room can predispose a jury to convict and that a cold day can make us more likely to buy a house. Our mind-body connection works the other way, too: thinking about friendly or caring people can make us feel warmer. Understanding how we subconsciously strive to keep our temperature in an optimal range can help us in our relationships, jobs, and even in the world of social media. As IJzerman illuminates how temperature affects human sociality, he examines fascinating new questions: How will climate change impact society? Why are some people chronically cold, and others overheated? Can thermoregulation keep relationships closer, even across a distance? The answers offer new insights for all of us who want to better understand our bodies, our minds, and each other.

Title: Enzymes: A Very Short Introduction Author: Paul Engel Narrator: Julian Elfer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 45 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Enzymes are the astonishing, tiny molecular machines that make life possible. Each one of these small proteins speeds up a single chemical reaction inside a living organism many millionfold. Working together, teams of enzymes carry out all the processes that collectively we recognize as life, from making DNA to digesting food. This Very Short Introduction explains the why and the how of speeding up these reactions—catalysis—before going on to reveal how we have evolved these catalysts of such extraordinary power and exquisite selectivity. Paul Engel shows how X-ray crystallography has revealed the complex molecular shapes that allow enzymes to function at an extraordinarily sophisticated level. He also examines medical aspects of enzymes, both in the way faulty enzymes cause disease and in the way enzymes can be used for diagnosis and therapy. Finally, he looks at the many varied ways in which individual enzymes, taken out of their biological context, are used nowadays as tools—in washing powders, food production, waste treatment, and chemical synthesis.

He also examines medical aspects of enzymes, both in the way faulty enzymes cause disease and in the way enzymes can be used for diagnosis and therapy. Finally, he looks at the many varied ways in which individual enzymes, taken out of their biological context, are used nowadays as tools—in washing powders, food production, waste treatment, and chemical synthesis.

Title: [German] - Die Schöpfungslüge. Warum Darwin recht hat Author: Richard Dawkins Narrator: Manfred Ludwig Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 49 minutes Release date: August 26, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Warum Darwin Recht hat Ist die Evolutionstheorie nur eine bloße Theorie unter vielen oder ist sie eine belegte Tatsache? Dieses Hörbuch beseitigt jeden Zweifel an Darwins Theorie. Richard Dawkins ist einer der einflussreichsten Evolutionsbiologen der vergangenen 50 Jahre. Sein erstes Buch Das egoistische Gen gilt als eines der zentralen Werke der Evolutionsbiologie. Dawkins' fulminante Streitschrift Der Gotteswahn ist international ein Bestseller und hat eine lebhafte Debatte ausgelöst. Im Hörbuch 'Die Schöpfungslüge' tritt Richard Dawkins den Beweis an, dass die Evolutionstheorie keine bloße Hypothese oder gar Glaubenssache ist, sondern dass sie schlicht und ergreifend stimmt. Überzeugend, lebendig und leicht nachvollziehbar legt er dar, was Darwins Theorie wirklich besagt und wie sie begründet ist. Der Autor erklärt: • worauf Fossilien hindeuten; • warum sich die Frage nach einem fehlenden Bindeglied beim Menschen und den meisten Tierarten heute nicht mehr stellt; • warum Rehpinscher und Rosenkohl Belege für experimentelle Evolution sind; • warum Wale Hinterbeine haben; • wie die molekulare Uhr funktioniert. Mit Brillanz und Präzision pariert Dawkins alle Angriffe gegen die Evolutionstheorie. Streitbar, fundiert, mit Leidenschaft und Humor belegt der Bestsellerautor, warum Darwin Recht hat.

Title: A How the Mind Changed: A Human History of Our Evolving Brain Author: Joseph Jebelli Narrator: Joe Eyre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 5 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The extraordinary story of how the human brain evolved… and is still evolving.    We’ve come a long way. The earliest human had a brain as small as a child’s fist; ours are four times bigger, with spectacular abilities and potential we are only just beginning to understand.   This is How the Mind Changed, a seven-million-year journey through our own heads, packed with vivid stories, groundbreaking science, and thrilling surprises. Discover how memory has almost nothing to do with the past; meditation rewires our synapses; magic mushroom use might be responsible for our intelligence; climate accounts for linguistic diversity; and how autism teaches us hugely positive lessons about our past and future.   Dr. Joseph Jebelli’s In Pursuit of Memory was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize and longlisted for the Wellcome. In this, his eagerly awaited second book, he draws on deep insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, psychology, and philosophy to guide us through the unexpected changes that shaped our brains. From genetic accidents and environmental forces to historical and cultural advances, he explores how our brain’s evolution turned us into Homo sapiens and beyond.   A single mutation is all it takes.

Title: Out Cold: A Chilling Descent into the Macabre, Controversial, Lifesaving History of Hypothermia Author: Phil Jaekl Narrator: Matt Kugler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 52 minutes Release date: June 1, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: “A fascinating look into the strange and sometimes unbelievable history of hypothermic medicine. Jaekl weaves together a story that is part history lesson and part science thriller. This is truly a must-read for any fan of science and science fiction!” —Douglas Talk, MD/MPH, chief medical consultant, SpaceWorks Inc., Human Torpor Project   The meaning of the word “hypothermia” has Greek origins and roughly translates to “less heat.” Its symptoms can be deadly—shivering, followed by confusion, irrationality, and even the illusion of feeling hot. But hypothermia has another side—it can be therapeutic.   In Out Cold, science writer Phil Jaekl chronicles the underappreciated story of human innovation with cold, from Ancient Egypt, where it was used to treat skin irritations, to eighteenth-century London, where scientists used it in their first explorations of suspended animation. Throughout history, physicians have used cold to innovate life extension, enable distant space missions, and explore consciousness.   Hypothermia may still conjure macabre images, like the bodies littering Mt. Everest and disembodied heads in cryo-freezers, but the reality is that modern science has invented numerous new life-saving cooling techniques based on what we’ve learned over the centuries. And Out Cold reveals a surprisingly warm future for this chilling state.

Title: The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science Author: Sam Kean Narrator: Ben Sullivan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.25 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 4 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: From a New York Times bestselling author comes the gripping, untold history of science's darkest secrets, "a fascinating book [that] deserves a wide audience" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process. The Icepick Surgeon masterfully guides the reader across two thousand years of history, beginning with Cleopatra’s dark deeds in ancient Egypt. The book reveals the origins of much of modern science in the transatlantic slave trade of the 1700s, as well as Thomas Edison’s mercenary support of the electric chair and the warped logic of the spies who infiltrated the Manhattan Project. But the sins of science aren’t all safely buried in the past. Many of them, Kean reminds us, still affect us today. We can draw direct lines from the medical abuses of Tuskegee and Nazi Germany to current vaccine hesitancy, and connect icepick lobotomies from the 1950s to the contemporary failings of mental-health care. Kean even takes us into the future, when advanced computers and genetic engineering could unleash whole new ways to do one another wrong. Unflinching, and exhilarating to the last page, The Icepick Surgeon fuses the drama of scientific discovery with the illicit thrill of a true-crime tale. With his trademark wit and precision, Kean shows that, while science has done more good than harm in the world, rogue scientists do exist, and when we sacrifice morals for progress, we often end up with neither.

Title: The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science Author: Sam Kean Narrator: Ben Sullivan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.25 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 4 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: From a New York Times bestselling author comes the gripping, untold history of science's darkest secrets, "a fascinating book [that] deserves a wide audience" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process. The Icepick Surgeon masterfully guides the reader across two thousand years of history, beginning with Cleopatra’s dark deeds in ancient Egypt. The book reveals the origins of much of modern science in the transatlantic slave trade of the 1700s, as well as Thomas Edison’s mercenary support of the electric chair and the warped logic of the spies who infiltrated the Manhattan Project. But the sins of science aren’t all safely buried in the past. Many of them, Kean reminds us, still affect us today. We can draw direct lines from the medical abuses of Tuskegee and Nazi Germany to current vaccine hesitancy, and connect icepick lobotomies from the 1950s to the contemporary failings of mental-health care. Kean even takes us into the future, when advanced computers and genetic engineering could unleash whole new ways to do one another wrong. Unflinching, and exhilarating to the last page, The Icepick Surgeon fuses the drama of scientific discovery with the illicit thrill of a true-crime tale. With his trademark wit and precision, Kean shows that, while science has done more good than harm in the world, rogue scientists do exist, and when we sacrifice morals for progress, we often end up with neither. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/484719 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/484719]]> to listen full audiobooks.

The book covers a range of adjacent themes, including differences between different peoples, the dominance of women in mate choice, and the relevance of evolutionary theory to general society. After the criticism of his On the Origin of Species, Darwin was apprehensive about the possible public reception of The Descent of Man. However, there was an immediate interest in the book and it had to be reprinted within three weeks of publication, leading a relieved Darwin to remark that 'Everybody is talking about it without being shocked'.

Lisa Cron shares the art of practical empathy with leaders who care enough to make a difference.”—Seth Godin, author of The Practice   A step-by-step guide to using the brain’s hardwired need for story to achieve any goal, from the author of Wired for Story   Whether you’re pitching a product, saving the planet, or convincing your kids not to text and drive, story isn’t just one way to persuade. It’s the way. It’s built into the architecture of the brain, and has been since early humans gathered around the camp fire, trying to figure out how to outsmart the lion next door. In Story or Die, story coach Lisa Cron sets out to decode the power of story, first by examining how the brain processes information, translates it into narrative, and then guards it as if your life depends on it. Armed with that insight, she focuses on how to find your real target audience and then pinpoint their hidden resistance. Finally, she takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of your own story, one that allows your audience to overcome their resistance and take up your call to action, not because you told them to, but because they want to.

Title: The Ascent of Information: Books, Bits, Genes, Machines, and Life's Unending Algorithm Author: Caleb Scharf Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: June 15, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: “Full of fascinating insights drawn from an impressive range of disciplines, The Ascent of Information casts the familiar and the foreign in a dramatic new light.” —Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe Your information has a life of its own, and it’s using you to get what it wants. One of the most peculiar and possibly unique features of humans is the vast amount of information we carry outside our biological selves. But in our rush to build the infrastructure for the 20 quintillion bits we create every day, we’ve failed to ask exactly why we’re expending ever-increasing amounts of energy, resources, and human effort to maintain all this data. Drawing on deep ideas and frontier thinking in evolutionary biology, computer science, information theory, and astrobiology, Caleb Scharf argues that information is, in a very real sense, alive. All the data we create—all of our emails, tweets, selfies, A.I.-generated text and funny cat videos—amounts to an aggregate lifeform. It has goals and needs. It can control our behavior and influence our well-being. And it’s an organism that has evolved right alongside us. This symbiotic relationship with information offers a startling new lens for looking at the world. Data isn’t just something we produce; it’s the reason we exist. This powerful idea has the potential to upend the way we think about our technology, our role as humans, and the fundamental nature of life. The Ascent of Information offers a humbling vision of a universe built of and for information. Scharf explores how our relationship with data will affect our ongoing evolution as a species. Understanding this relationship will be crucial to preventing our data from becoming more of a burden than an asset, and to preserving the possibility of a human future.

Title: The Origin of Species Author: Charles Darwin Narrator: Michael Armenta Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 1, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life), published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest upon its publication. As Darwin was an eminent scientist, his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. The debate over the book contributed to the campaign by T. H. Huxley and his fellow members of the X Club to secularise science by promoting scientific naturalism. Within two decades there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution, with a branching pattern of common descent, had occurred, but scientists were slow to give natural selection the significance that Darwin thought appropriate. During the eclipse of Darwinism from the 1880s to the 1930s, various other mechanisms of evolution were given more credit. With the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s, Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

Title: The Origin of Species Author: Charles Darwin Narrator: Michael Armenta Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 1, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: The Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life), published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest upon its publication. As Darwin was an eminent scientist, his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. The debate over the book contributed to the campaign by T. H. Huxley and his fellow members of the X Club to secularise science by promoting scientific naturalism. Within two decades there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution, with a branching pattern of common descent, had occurred, but scientists were slow to give natural selection the significance that Darwin thought appropriate. During the eclipse of Darwinism from the 1880s to the 1930s, various other mechanisms of evolution were given more credit. With the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s, Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

Title: [German] - Dem Rätsel des Riechens auf der Spur: Hanns Hatt erzählt Grundlagen der Duftwahrnehmung Author: Hanns Hatt, Klaus Sander Narrator: Hanns Hatt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 33 minutes Release date: February 20, 2019 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Bevor Lebewesen sehen und hören konnten, waren sie in der Lage zu riechen. In 500 Millionen Jahren der Evolution war es der Geruchssinn, der dem Gehirn ein wichtiges Fenster zur Welt geöffnet hat, der informierte, was essbar ist oder giftig, welches der richtige Sexualpartner ist, und der zu Orientierung, Warnung und Sozialverhalten beitrug. Bei den primitiven Wirbeltieren machte das Riechhirn den größten Teil des gesamten Gehirns aus und die neuronalen Mechanismen der Signalverarbeitung, die sich dabei entwickelten, standen Modell für alle anderen Sinne wie Sehen oder Hören. Trotz seiner ungeheuren Komplexität und Leistungsfähigkeit organisiert sich auch das menschliche Gehirn immer um das olfaktorische System. Für den Menschen hat dieses archaische Sinnessystem weit weniger an Bedeutung verloren, als gemeinhin angenommen wird. Düfte können Auslöser für Sympathie und Antipathie sein, Stimmungen und Emotionen beeinflussen, das Sozial- und Sexualverhalten steuern, den Hormonstatus verändern und als chemische Kommunikationsmittel dienen. Auch körperliche Funktionen können direkt beeinträchtigt werden. Bislang war nur wenig über den molekularen Hintergrund der Duftwahrnehmung bekannt. Die Komplexität der Geruchswelt ist wohl Hauptgrund für dieses Wissensdefizit. Wir können unbegrenzt viele Duftstoffe wahrnehmen und mehr als 10.000, selbst in äußerst geringen Konzentrationen, unterscheiden. Was aber geschieht, wenn ein Duftmolekül auf der Riechschleimhaut absorbiert wird und von der Riechsinneszelle ein elektrischer Strom zu unserem Riechhirn weitergeleitet wird?

Title: [German] - Die Evolution (Teil 1+2): Teil 1: Das Leben entsteht, Teil 2: Das Tierreich. Der Mensch Author: Manfred Grasshoff Narrator: Anette Daugardt, Uwe Neumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 25, 2015 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Ein Hoerbuch in zwei Teilen - rund um die Entstehung des Lebens! TEIL 1: DAS LEBEN ENTSTEHT Wie entsteht das Leben auf der Erde? Wie ist es möglich, dass aus einzelnen chemischen Bausteinen erste Lebewesen entstehen? Und wie ist es möglich, dass diese Lebewesen dauerhaft auf der Erde überleben können? Diese grundsätzlichen Fragen beantwortet Dr. Manfred Grasshoff, langjähriger Mitarbeiter am renommierten Senckenberg-Museum in Frankfurt/Main und ausgezeichneter Evolutionstheoretiker. Packend und in großen, verständlichen Zügen vermittelt Grasshoff, unter welchen Bedingungen das Leben entstehen konnte und unsere Erde zu diesem einzigartigen Blauen Planeten machte. Plastisch zeichnet Grasshoff die Szenarien der damaligen Ur-Erde, die vor vielen Milliarden Jahren noch ein unwirtlicher, roter Planet war. Dabei gewährt unser Hörbuch auch Einblicke in die Mechanismen, die hinter der Weiterentwicklung des Lebens stehen und vermittelt somit ein modernes Verständnis von Evolutionstheorie. Ein Nachwort zur Geschichte der Evolutionstheorien rundet den ersten Teil des Hörbuches ab. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ TEIL 2: DAS TIERREICH. DER MENSCH. Wie kommt es zu der überwältigenden Vielfalt des Tierreichs? Wie entstanden die Tiere überhaupt? Warum gingen Fische ans Land, wie wurden sie zu Reptilien? Warum starben die Dinosaurier aus? Stammt der Mensch wirklich vom Affen ab? Diese und viele weitere Fragen beantwortet der Evolutionsbiologe Dr. Manfred Grasshoff im zweiten Teil dieses Hörbuchs zu Evolution und Evolutionstheorie.Plastisch wird erklärt, wie sich die verschiedenen Stämme des Tierreichs letztlich aus einem gemeinsamen Vorfahren entwickeln konnten und wie diese Linien verlaufen; in klarer Sprache gibt Grasshoff Einblicke in ein modernes Verständnis von Evolution und Evolutionsbiologie; er stellt sich dabei auch ungelösten Fragen und macht auf Defizite bisheriger Evolutionstheorien aufmerksam.

Title: [German] - Die Evolution des Lebens Author: Klaus Kamphausen Narrator: Achim Höppner Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 57 minutes Release date: September 12, 2005 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Das Leben existiert seit circa vier Milliarden Jahren auf unserem Planeten. Doch wie entstand es? Kam das Leben aus dem Weltall? Wie kam es zur Menschwerdung und wohin steuert das Leben? Am 26. Oktober 4004 vor Christus, um 9.00 Uhr morgens, kam das Leben auf die Welt. Dieses exakte Datum errechnete der irische Bischof Ussher im 17. Jahrhundert. Er zählte einfach das Alter aller in der Bibel verzeichneten Menschen, von Adam bis Christus, zusammen. Die heutige Wissenschaft kann sich nicht auf die Stunde genau festlegen, wann das Leben auf die Erde kam. Sicher ist nur: Das Leben existiert seit rund vier Milliarden Jahren auf unserem Planeten. Diese Dokumentation ist eine Abenteuer-Entdeckungsreise zurück in eine Zeit, in der das Leben entstand. Sie fasst die Forschungsergebnisse, die in den letzten Jahren auf dem Gebiet der Evolution gemacht wurden, zusammen. Das Phänomen 'Leben' lässt aber noch immer viele Fragen offen.

Title: [German] - Die Evolution (Teil 1): Das Leben entsteht Author: Manfred Grasshoff Narrator: Anette Daugardt, Uwe Neumann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 54 minutes Release date: November 1, 2006 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Wie entsteht das Leben auf der Erde? Wie ist es möglich, dass aus einzelnen chemischen Bausteinen erste Lebewesen entstehen? Und wie ist es möglich, dass diese Lebewesen dauerhaft auf der Erde überleben können? Diese grundsätzlichen Fragen beantwortet Dr. Manfred Grasshoff, langjähriger Mitarbeiter am renommierten Senckenberg-Museum in Frankfurt/Main und ausgezeichneter Evolutionstheoretiker. Packend und in großen, verständlichen Zügen vermittelt Grasshoff, unter welchen Bedingungen das Leben entstehen konnte und unsere Erde zu diesem einzigartigen Blauen Planeten machte. Plastisch zeichnet Grasshoff die Szenarien der damaligen Ur-Erde, die vor vielen Milliarden Jahren noch ein unwirtlicher, roter Planet war. Dabei gewährt unser Hörbuch auch Einblicke in die Mechanismen, die hinter der Weiterentwicklung des Lebens stehen und vermittelt somit ein modernes Verständnis von Evolutionstheorie. Ein Nachwort zur Geschichte der Evolutionstheorien rundet den ersten Teil des Hörbuches ab.

Diese grundsätzlichen Fragen beantwortet Dr. Manfred Grasshoff, langjähriger Mitarbeiter am renommierten Senckenberg-Museum in Frankfurt/Main und ausgezeichneter Evolutionstheoretiker. Packend und in großen, verständlichen Zügen vermittelt Grasshoff, unter welchen Bedingungen das Leben entstehen konnte und unsere Erde zu diesem einzigartigen Blauen Planeten machte. Plastisch zeichnet Grasshoff die Szenarien der damaligen Ur-Erde, die vor vielen Milliarden Jahren noch ein unwirtlicher, roter Planet war. Dabei gewährt unser Hörbuch auch Einblicke in die Mechanismen, die hinter der Weiterentwicklung des Lebens stehen und vermittelt somit ein modernes Verständnis von Evolutionstheorie. Ein Nachwort zur Geschichte der Evolutionstheorien rundet den ersten Teil des Hörbuches ab. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/471593]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Psychoanalyse und Neuro-Doping: Das Arsenal der Hirnforschung Author: Thomas Metzinger, Hans J. Markowitsch Narrator: Hans J. Markowitsch, Thomas Metzinger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 52 minutes Release date: June 11, 2018 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: 1 | Hans J. Markowitsch: Freuds Comeback - Wie die Hirnforschung die Psychoanalyse bestätigt Sendung: 23.04.2006, SWR Harte Naturwissenschaftler stehen Freuds Psychoanalyse eher skeptisch gegenüber. Doch dieser Skeptizismus ist unbegründet: Die modernen Neurowissenschaften konnten zentrale Prinzipien von Freuds Theorie bestätigen. Hans J. Markowitsch, Professor für physiologische Psychologie an der Universität Bielefeld, zeigt die Schnittstellen zwischen Psychoanalyse und Hirnforschung und erläutert die Gemeinsamkeiten an vier zentralen Thesen der Psychoanalyse: Die Umwelt beeinflusst das Individuum, es ist nicht determiniert (1). Erfahrungen aus Kindheit und Jugend sind prägend für unser späteres Leben (2). Unser Verhalten ist wesentlich durch Unbewusstes und Vorbewusstes bestimmt (3). Für die Erinnerung, insbesondere die Rekonstruktion der eigenen Lebensgeschichte sind Emotion und Kognition gleichermaßen entscheidend (4). 2 | Thomas Metzinger: Das manipulierte Bewusstsein - Die Gefahren der Neurowissenschaften und die Möglichkeiten der neuen Ethik Sendung: 22.08.2004, SWR Bald wird uns die Wissenschaft vom Gehirn nicht nur zeigen, wie sich Abläufe - und damit Bewusstseinszustände - in unserem Kopf erklären lassen. Neuro-Arznei, ja Neuro-Doping wird das Mentale manipulierbar machen. Solche Eingriffsmöglichkeiten der modernen Neurowissenschaften in das Bewusstsein machen eine Reflektion der ethischen Implikationen notwendig. Dabei geht es nicht nur um neue Forschungsethik, sondern um eine Bewusstseinsethik. Welche Bewusstseinszustände sind illegal, welche sollen gefördert werden? Was ist überhaupt ein guter Bewusstseinszustand? Diese Einschätzung der Erlebnisformen wäre die Fragestellungen einer neuen Bewusstseinskultur. Auch die Behandlung von Tieren gehört in diesen Problembereich, denn zweifellos besitzen sie eine Leidensfähigkeit. Dürfen wir ihnen Bewusstseinszustände zufügen, die nur unserer Gattung dienen? Die größten Anforderungen an eine Bewusstseinskultur entspringen jedoch unseren neuen medialen Umwelten, d.h. den Zuständen, die durch technische Mittel induziert sind. Metzinger plädiert für eine interdisziplinäre, an praktisch-kritischer Rationalität orientierte Kultur. Thomas Metzinger, Hans J.

Title: [German] - Die Tanzsprache der Bienen: Originaltonaufnahmen 1953-1962 Author: Karl Von Frisch Narrator: Karl Von Frisch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 38 minutes Release date: February 19, 2019 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: 'Im Bienenstaat ist die Orientierung nach Düften und nach der Sonne in wunderbarer Weise in den Dienst der sozialen Verständigung gestellt. Hat eine Kundschafterin in einiger Entfernung vom Stock eine Blumensorte gefunden, die reichlich Nahrung bietet, so alarmiert sie nach der Heimkehr ihre Stockgenossen durch eigenartige Tänze auf den Waben. Dabei schwänzelt sie lebhaft mit dem Hinterleib. Dieser Schwänzeltanz der Bienen ist fabelhaft interessant, er gehört zu den wunderbarsten Vorgängen im Reich der Insekten - und das will viel sagen... Durch den Schwänzeltanz erfahren die Stockgenossen vier wichtige Dinge: 1. daß draußen Blumen blühen, die viel Futter bieten, so daß es sich lohnt,sich auf den Weg zu machen; 2. um welche Blumensorte es sich handelt; 3. in welcher Entfernung vom Stock, und 4. in welcher Himmelsrichtung sie zu finden ist. Die Stockgenossen, die in der Nähe der Tänzerin sitzen, benehmen sich so, wie es einer so wichtigen Mitteilung entspricht. Sie bekunden das lebhafteste Interesse und trippeln hinter der Tänzerin her, um alle Einzelheiten der Nachricht in Empfang zu nehmen.' Für die Entdeckung der Bienensprache wurde der österreichische Zoologe Karl Ritter von Frisch (1886 -1982) mit dem Nobelpreis geehrt. Anschaulich und in allgemein verständlicher Form berichtet er von den Freuden und Mühen seiner Forschung: erzählte Wissenschaftsgeschichte – gelebte Biologie.

Title: [German] - Erinnerungen eines Psychonauten (Originaltonaufnahmen): Von der Entdeckung entheogener Drogen Author: Albert Hofmann Narrator: Albert Hofmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 8 minutes Release date: February 18, 2019 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: 'Die Substanz, mit der ich hatte experimentieren wollen, hatte mich besiegt. Sie war der Dämon, der höhnisch über meinen Willen triumphierte. Eine furchtbare Angst wahnsinnig geworden zu sein, packte mich. Ich war in eine andere Welt geraten, in andere Räume mit anderer Zeit. Mein Körper schien mir gefühllos, leblos und fremd. Lag ich im Sterben? War das der Übergang?' Jene Abenteurer, Pioniere, die den Welteninnenraum befahren und tief eintauchen in das Mysterium ihrer Selbst, können sich niemals sicher sein, wohin die Reise führen und ob sie auch einen guten Ausgang nehmen wird. Sie bleiben, wenn sie zurückkehren, und das ist der Preis, die Fahrkarte ins Außerordentliche, Befremdende ihrer inneren Räume, für immer Verwandelte. Und es sind wuchernde, bald bizarre Träume ihr Begleiter, geht es durch Paradiese in denen der Dämon regiert oder kopflose Götter, werden Kontinente angesteuert, an deren Himmel mehr als nur eine Sonne steht und eine unheimliche Helle die bekannte Welt in den Schatten stellt. Wenn nun im großen kosmischen Eintopf, im Durcheinander von Vision und Gelächter, von Konfusion und Luzidität, der Reisende seine Fassung zu verlieren droht, wenn das Verzücktsein über das Sein und das Nichtsein des Seins, dem Raumschifffahrer aus dem Ruder laufen, wenn er abkommt vom Kurs, von allen bekannten Koordinaten, dann ist es gut, (auf) die Stimme des Führers zu hören, eines Reisekundigen und Freundes, ohne den man in solchen Regionen schnell verloren ist. Mit Albert Hofmann kommt ein Chemiker von Rang und zugleich unfreiwilliger Erfinder, ein Demiurg wider Willen, ein verzauberter Zauberer zu Wort, der eine Substanz in die Welt entlassen hat, von der nicht wenige glauben, dass man durch ihre Hilfe 'Gott selbst' in sich wachrufen und sprechen lassen könnte: LSD. Kein anderer Stoff hat einer ganzen Generation so sehr die Augen geöffnet, für die Ekstase und für das Entsetzen, welche den Menschen treffen können, urplötzlich und unvermittelt, aus einem heiteren und wolkenlosen Himmel...

Title: The Social Instinct: How Cooperation Shaped the World Author: Nichola Raihani Narrator: Nichola Raihani Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 3, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Why cooperate? This may be the most important scientific question we have ever, and will ever, face. The science of cooperation tells us not only how we got here, but also where we might end up. Cooperation explains how strands of DNA gave rise to modern-day nation states. It defines our extraordinary ecological success as well as many of the most surprising features of what make us human: not only why we live in families, why we have grandmothers and why women experience the menopause, but also why we become paranoid and jealous, and why we cheat. Nichola Raihani also introduces us to other species who, like us, live and work together. From the pied babblers of the Kalahari to the cleaner fish of the Great Barrier Reef, they happen to be some of the most fascinating and extraordinarily successful species on this planet. What do we have in common with these other species, and what is it that sets us apart? Written at a time of global pandemic, when the challenges and importance of cooperation have never been greater, The Social Instinct is an exhilarating, far-reaching and thought-provoking journey through all life on Earth, with profound insights into what makes us human and how our societies work. © Nichola Raihani 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Nichola Raihani Thu, 03 Jun 2021 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466885 thebookvoice.com 9:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466885]]> to listen full audiobooks.

From the pied babblers of the Kalahari to the cleaner fish of the Great Barrier Reef, they happen to be some of the most fascinating and extraordinarily successful species on this planet. What do we have in common with these other species, and what is it that sets us apart? Written at a time of global pandemic, when the challenges and importance of cooperation have never been greater, The Social Instinct is an exhilarating, far-reaching and thought-provoking journey through all life on Earth, with profound insights into what makes us human and how our societies work. © Nichola Raihani 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466885]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Why cooperate? This may be the most important scientific question we have ever, and will ever, face. The science of cooperation tells us not only how we got here, but also where we might end up. Cooperation explains how strands of DNA gave rise to modern-day nation states. It defines our extraordinary ecological success as well as many of the most surprising features of what make us human: not only why we live in families, why we have grandmothers and why women experience the menopause, but also why we become paranoid and jealous, and why we cheat.

Title: [Spanish] - La vida contada por un sapiens a un neandertal (De un sapiens a un neandertal) Author: Juan José Millás, Juan Luis Arsuaga Narrator: Juan José Millás Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 44 minutes Release date: October 15, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: El ingenio de Millás y la sabiduría de Arsuaga unidos para contar la vida como la mejor de las historias UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE 2021 SEGÚN EL HUFFPOST Y LIBRO DEL VERANO SEGÚN TRENDENCIAS «Una maravilla. Un libro lleno de humor y de bondad. Sí, bondad. Un libro que busca entender el misterio de la vida.» Manuel Vilas «-Tú y yo podríamos asociarnos para hablar de la vida; levantaríamos un gran relato sobre la existencia. ¿Lo hacemos? -dijo el escritor. -Lo hacemos -contestó el paleontólogo.» Hace años que el interés por entender la vida, sus orígenes y su evolución resuena en la cabeza de Juan José Millás, de manera que se dispuso a conocer, junto a uno de los mayores especialistas de este país en la materia, Juan Luis Arsuaga, por qué somos como somos y qué nos ha llevado hasta donde estamos. La sabiduría del paleontólogo se combina en este libro con el ingenio y la mirada personal y sorprendente que tiene el escritor sobre la realidad. Porque Millás es un neandertal (o eso dice), y Arsuaga, a sus ojos, un sapiens. Así, a lo largo de muchos meses, los dos visitaron distintos lugares, muchos de ellos escenarios comunes de nuestra vida cotidiana, y otros, emplazamientos únicos donde todavía se pueden ver los vestigios de lo que fuimos, del lugar del que venimos. En esas salidas, que al lector pueden recordarle a las de don Quijote y Sancho, el sapiens trató de enseñar al neandertal cómo pensar como un sapiens y, sobre todo, que la prehistoria no es cosa del pasado: las huellas de la humanidad a través de los milenios se pueden encontrar en cualquier lugar, desde una cueva o un paisaje hasta un parque infantil o una tienda de peluches. Es la vida lo que late en este libro. La mejor de las historias. Reseñas: «La fiesta de la inteligencia.» David Broncano «Un diálogo socrático entre homínidos curiosos, [...] un libro en el que se mezcla la divulgación científica con la literatura costumbrista y de viajes. La sapiencia, la chispeante manera de explicar las cosas y la gran cultura transversal del maestro encajan a la perfección con el ingenio y la curiosidad de Millás, que, como ya conocen sus lectores, adopta una mirada deliberadamente ingenua y entrañable sobre lo que le rodea.» Fernando Díaz de Quijano, El Cultural «Un portento de originalidad que mezcla ciencia, divulgación e imaginación con toneladas de ironía para entender de dónde venimos, quiénes somos y a dónde vamos. Han inventado un género para el que no tienen nombre.» Miguel Lorenci, La Verdad «Una extraña pareja, una suerte de Walter Matthau y Jack Lemmon a la española. Dos mentes inquietas que se han unido para escribir [...], cuestionar y traer al lenguaje del común de los mortales planteamientos y reflexiones.» Pilar Martín, EFE «Un fascinante viaje por la existencia humana, donde el humor pilota la nave.» César Suárez, Telva «Se une la erudición brutal de Arsuaga a la capacidad interpretativa y narrativa de Millás.» Andreu Buenafuente «Un libro especial. Distinto. Hasta los autores reconocen haber alumbrado un nuevo género: [...] una magnífica oportunidad para acercarnos a un mundo ya perdido.» El Cultural «Juan Luis Arsuaga ha contado ese arranque prodigioso de la vida humana con toda la fuerza de las grandes crónicas de viajes y descubrimientos, con su talento doble de narrador y de científico.» Antonio Muñoz Molina Juan José Millás, Juan Luis Arsuaga Thu, 15 Oct 2020 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/463581 thebookvoice.com 6:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/463581]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence Author: Anna Lembke Narrator: Anna Lembke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 11 minutes Release date: August 24, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.29 of Total 263 Ratings of Narrator: 4.53 of Total 32 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant . . . riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued.”—Beth Macy, author of Dopesick, as heard on Fresh Air This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.   In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

Title: Love, Sex, and Science Author: Scientific American Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 7, 2020 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: Sometimes All You Need Is Love; sometimes Love Is a Battlefield. Whether Love Hurts, Bites, Will Keep Us Together, Will Tear Us Apart, or Is a Four-Letter Word, it seems we Want To Know What Love Is. Love—in both the abstract and the up-close-and-personal—has always provided limitless inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians, but scientists are just as fascinated by these affairs of the heart, though they seldom sing about it. In Love, Sex, and Science, our editors take a step back, analyzing romance using tools like fMRI studies instead of a paint brush or guitar. The writers examine a variety of topics, starting with the perceived sex differences between men and women discussed in Section 1—are we really as different as Mars and Venus? We also don’t shy away from darker aspects of love, such as the psychology of prostitution and sex appeal of narcissists, because to ignore these aspects of love is to trivialize it. Besides, love’s paradoxes are one of the reasons why it is the topic for cultural discourse. As Pascal said, “The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.” Hopefully this audiobook will change the “nothing” to “at least something.” Scientific American Tue, 07 Jul 2020 08:01:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/463110 thebookvoice.com 6:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/463110]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Coming to Our Senses: A Boy Who Learned to See, a Girl Who Learned to Hear, and How We All Discover the World Author: Susan R. Barry Narrator: Rengin Altay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 56 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Genres: Biology & Chemistry Publisher's Summary: A neurobiologist reexamines the personal nature of perception in this groundbreaking guide to a new model for our senses.  We think of perception as a passive, mechanical process, as if our eyes are cameras and our ears microphones. But as neurobiologist Susan R. Barry argues, perception is a deeply personal act. Our environments, our relationships, and our actions shape and reshape our senses throughout our lives. This idea is no more apparent than in the cases of people who gain senses as adults. Barry tells the stories of Liam McCoy, practically blind from birth, and Zohra Damji, born deaf, in the decade following surgeries that restored their senses. As Liam and Zohra learned entirely new ways of being, Barry discovered an entirely new model of the nature of perception. Coming to Our Senses is a celebration of human resilience and a powerful reminder that, before you can really understand other people, you must first recognize that their worlds are fundamentally different from your own.

Barry tells the stories of Liam McCoy, practically blind from birth, and Zohra Damji, born deaf, in the decade following surgeries that restored their senses. As Liam and Zohra learned entirely new ways of being, Barry discovered an entirely new model of the nature of perception. Coming to Our Senses is a celebration of human resilience and a powerful reminder that, before you can really understand other people, you must first recognize that their worlds are fundamentally different from your own.
