Title: Trashing the Planet Subtitle: How Science Can Help Us Deal with Acid Rain, Depletion of the Ozone, and Nuclear Waste (among Other Things) Author: Dixy Lee Ray, Lou Guzzo Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 11-09-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Trashing the Planet is the one book you need to get a common-sense grasp on the contentious issues of environmentalism, where science and politics overlap and well-meaning idealism turns to counterproductive eco-terrorism. Dixy Lee Ray, a marine biologist and former chair of the Atomic Energy Commission, calls for environmentalists to regain a sense of perspective and not let their ardor carry them into the realm of noble lies. Dr. Ray exposes how little the public knows about the environment, how piddling are mans influences upon itvolcanoes shoot more pollutants into the atmosphere than do all of mans industrial activitiesand how complex are the interactions of natural phenomena. Reminding us that a well-tended garden is better than a neglected woodlot, Trashing the Planet is a breath of fresh air in the current debate dominated by rhetorical extremism. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dixy Lee Ray) Wed, 09 Nov 2011 08:18:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Trashing-the-Planet-Audiobook/B0064RBDEU thebookvoice.com 05:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Required Reading For Both Sides of the GreenDebate This book does as good a job as any I've read at identifying the issues, investigating the substantive facts and drawing reasoned conclusions without jumping to the same politically-driven, pre-determined positions that we've heard ad nauseum in the pet media of both sides. It seems the more I learn about these often complex scientific issues, the more I have come to realize that both sides have some truth in their positions, but both are substantially wrong in the rigidity, dogmatism and simplistic jingoism of their stances and solutions. And that uninformed rigidity seems like a bigger obstacle to finding a workable solution to these problems than just about anything else. In other words, there's way too much politics and not nearly enough science in the Green debate these days, in part because the science is often more complex and nuanced than a factoid on a flyer or a talking point on some pundit's cable TV show. But the authors of "Trashing the Planet" do a phenomenal job making the science not only understandable, but genuinely intriguing, and that alone should recommend it for wide consumption. I really enjoyed reading this book, and was pleasantly surprised at the way it pulled me through the chapters. That said, I would not recommend this book if all you want is to have your existing views validated, whatever they may be. This book changed my perspective on a few things I thought I understood better than I actually did, and gave me a deeper perspective on many others. To me, that's the sign of a truly well-written, well-argued book. There will surely be folks on both sides of the debate who will find simplistic, politically-sanctioned ways to trash "Trashing the Planet." But to anyone with even a shred of doubt, a flicker of curiosity or a glimmer of desire to learn more about subjects that should transcend politics but rarely do, this book is a treasure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Raptor-A-Journey-Through-Birds-Audiobook/B01B3LJ8LQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Out of the Woods Subtitle: A Bird Watcher's Year Author: Ora E. Anderson Narrator: David L. Stanley Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In 59 essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author himself. These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an intimate portrait of a half century of life on Anderson's beloved old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We are invited to share the joys - and the disappointments and sorrows - inherent in such a life. This book will delight bird watchers, artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is sometimes tempted to take a rutted, overgrown, and unused path just to see where it leads. Critic Reviews: "This book is a joy to read and rewards subsequent revisits with stylistic wit and wild beauty." (Publishers Weekly) "Ora Anderson is the Thoreau of the Appalachian woods."

This man sounds like a beautiful person inside and out. Scattered here and there are loving little remembrances of, I assume, his wife. And all the "nature stories" are richly laced with his obvious joy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this book. Stories of love and life and nature are always wonderful ways to pass the time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Gulf-Stream-Audiobook/B00I7V0MNY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An incredible story of our Oceans !! A surprisingly easy to read book on the incredible discoveries & mysteries of our oceans!! Though falling under the heading of the serious science of Physical Oceanography, even an intelligent highschooler could handle this text. It is chock full of fascinating knowledge gained in recent times, as well as engrossing historical info. Previously, I had little idea of the complexity of this watery world, & how it fits into the overall ecological picture. The Oceanography I studied long ago in college was very minimal compared to all the relatively new info now available. Initially intrigued by popular books about rogue waves, etc., I was led to explore further into this realm. "Gulf Stream" is one of several texts which came my way. This is one of the best. The author does an excellent job of reducing technical, scientific data to a readable, understandable, exciting story. I also Highly recommend: "The Power of the Sea" by Bruce Parker Five Stars Joy of reading on interesting but important topics, ocean current, natural resource, and people involvement in the ocean. Great read Clearly explains one of the great wonders the ... Great read Clearly explains one of the great wonders the Atlantic ocean whether captain, seaman of a land lover it's worth reading. Fascinating. The author presents very interesting, scientific data in a readable way. I have really enjoyed reading and learning about this part of the ocean. Now I understand Having actually sailed in the gulf, this informative book sheaf light on what we encountered and why. I am better prepared for planning our next crossing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Wildfires-Audiobook/B00GO58AAM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Green Intelligence Subtitle: Creating Environments That Protect Human Health Author: John Wargo Narrator: Michael Lenz Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: We live in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are beginning to understand the potential dangers of these substances, there are still more than 80,000 synthetic compounds that have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their effects on human health. Yale University professor John Wargo has spent much of his career researching the impact of chemical exposures on women and children. In this book, he explains the origins of society's profound misunderstanding of everyday chemical hazards and offers a practical path toward developing greater "green intelligence". Despite the rising trend in environmental awareness, information about synthetic substances is often unavailable, distorted, kept secret, or presented in a way that prevents citizens from acting to reduce threats to their health and the environment. By examining the histories of five hazardous technologies and practices, Wargo finds remarkable patterns in the delayed discovery of dangers and explains the governments' failures to manage them effectively.

Title: Green Intelligence Subtitle: Creating Environments That Protect Human Health Author: John Wargo Narrator: Michael Lenz Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: We live in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are beginning to understand the potential dangers of these substances, there are still more than 80,000 synthetic compounds that have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their effects on human health. Yale University professor John Wargo has spent much of his career researching the impact of chemical exposures on women and children. In this book, he explains the origins of society's profound misunderstanding of everyday chemical hazards and offers a practical path toward developing greater "green intelligence". Despite the rising trend in environmental awareness, information about synthetic substances is often unavailable, distorted, kept secret, or presented in a way that prevents citizens from acting to reduce threats to their health and the environment. By examining the histories of five hazardous technologies and practices, Wargo finds remarkable patterns in the delayed discovery of dangers and explains the governments' failures to manage them effectively.

(Frances Beinecke, President, Natural Resources Defense Council [NRDC]) Members Reviews: Good Introduction/Overview to Environmental Contamination/Health This book is great. It reminded me of Zinn's A People's History of the US except from an environmental policy perspective. Zinn starts his foray with Native Americans watching white explorers pull up to their shores(we all know how that turned out for them) and moves on to untold details of America's decision to bomb Japan in WWII. Wargo similarly starts his narrative with the US military forcing natives off their land in the remote pacific in order to test their nuclear arsenal. From there it is just unsugarcoated anecdote after another ranging from misinformed neglect up through preventable atrocities involving human contamination. At the tail end it shifts into plans to map out a better future for environmental health. If you don't think our unsafe environmental direction and chemical risk is so much an issue of tragedy of the commons but rather a tragedy of common ignorance and common denial then this is recommended text for you and your peers, a fast read that can easily be slipped into the holes that now lay occupied by the heads of ostriches. This book will motivate you to make changes to your environment This is an outstanding and engaging read on major historical events and processes that are happening to our planet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Whats-Next-Audiobook/B002V8KWDE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: What's Next Subtitle: Dispatches on the Future of Science Author: Max Brockman Narrator: Erik Davies, Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-09 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 73 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: How does our sense of morality arise from the structure of the brain? What does the latest research in language acquisition tells us about the role of culture in the way we think? What does current neurological research tell us about the nature of time? This wide-ranging collection of never-before-published essays offers the very latest insights into the daunting scientific questions of our time. Its contributors - some of the most brilliant young scientists working today - provide not only an introduction to their cutting-edge research, but discuss the social, ethical, and philosophical ramifications of their work. In essays covering fields as diverse as astrophysics, paleoanthropology, climatology, and neuroscience, What's Next? is a lucid and informed guide to the new frontiers of science. Editorial Reviews: Narrators Kirsten Potter and Erik Davies deliver a lively, vibrant reading in this rich, varied, and consistently engaging volume. What's Next: Dispatches On the Future of Science is a collection of essays by a few of the world's most brilliant young scientists on the issues and questions that matter most to them and to the coming generation. Editor Max Brockman asked these scientists to discuss their work for the general public, and the 18 essays that result are an engrossing peek into some of the most compelling and consequential scientific questions of our time. Each scientist takes us to the heart of their research, in fields ranging from neuroscience to theoretical physics to paleoanthropology. In an essay by Katerina Havarti, we learn about the paths to extinction of our own hominid ancestors, and consider the possibility of extinction in our own species. Sean Carroll takes us into the depths of space-time, where it seems we know ever less than was previously thought about the nature of the universe. David M. Eagleman zooms in to the human mind to puzzle out the mysteries in our perception of time. Despite the broad scope of topics, the essays are held together by their common interest in the most fundamental questions of humankind questions about where we came from, who we are, and where we're going. In their reading, both Davies and Potter demonstrate a firm grasp on their scientific subject matter, whether they are delving into mirror neurons and the morality of the human mind, as in an essay by Christian Keysers, or leading us on an exploration of the way language shapes our thinking with an essay by Lera Boroditsky. Davies' voice is smooth and controlled even soothing but never soporific, and his pacing and tone are sensitive to the complexity and nuance of his subject matter. Potter reads with a voice that is at once melodious and polished, and her experience and talent in fiction narration is evident in her ability to bring the authors' voices to life. With its solid narration and keen insights on the big scientific questions of our time, What's Next is a captivating listen from beginning to end. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Max Brockman) Tue, 26 May 2009 06:51:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Whats-Next-Audiobook/B002V8KWDE thebookvoice.com 07:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Decent introduction Pros - Short well written book. - Literary style makes it easy to read. - Covers both the disaster, the immediate response, and the effects of the disaster. Cons - Too short. Important parts of the history are intentionally omitted to keep the book brief. - I particularly missed a technical discussion on how the power plant worked, and why it failed. Conclusion Buy it if you don't know almost anything about the Cherobyl disaster. If you want to go further, the publicly available information (e.g. The Wikipedia article about the disaster) covers much more elements. Incomplete I could have found all of this information on the Internet. It goes into less detail than Wikipedia about what actually caused the accident. The Nuclear Disaster at Chernobyl Disasters I really liked this book because I love to read nonfiction books and this was the perfect book for me. Also I love books about the chernobyl power plant Shocked and amazed I couldn't believe the consequences of radiation! I feel really bad for the men,women, and children who suffered during this tragedy https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Heart-of-Dryness-Audiobook/B00BNK9LD8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Water governs us," writes James Workman. In Heart of Dryness, he chronicles the memorable, cautionary tale of the famed Bushmen of the Kalahari - remnants of one of the world's most successful civilizations, today at the exact epicenter of Africa's drought - and their remarkable, widely publicized battle over water with the government of Botswana, to explore the larger story of what many feel is becoming the primary resource battleground of the 21st century: water. The Bushmen's story may well prefigure our own. Even the most upbeat optimists concede the U.S. now faces an unprecedented water crisis. Large dams on the Colorado River, which serve 30 million in 7 states, will be dry in 13 years. Southeast drought cut Tennessee Valley Authority hydropower in half, exposed Lake Okeechobee's floor, dried $787 million of Georgia's crops, and left Atlanta with 60 days of water. Cities east and west are drying up. As reservoirs and aquifers fail, officials ration water, neighbors snitch on one another, corporations move in, and states fight states to control shared rivers. Each year, inadequate water kills more humans than AIDS, malaria, and all wars combined. Global leaders pray for rain. Bushmen tap more pragmatic solutions. James Workman illuminates the present and coming tensions we will all face over water and shows how, from the remoteness of the Kalahari, a primitive (by our standards) people is showing the world a viable path through the encroaching desert of the coming Dry Age. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James G.

Members Reviews: Excellent glimpse into the life of the bushmen of the Kalahari. Worth reading. Food for thought. This is a good book, worth reading if you have any interest in Africa, anthropology, or the "bushmen" (a.k.a. San). What I found interesting about this book is different from what everyone else thinks this book is about. The Amazon blurb, and every review posted here so far, will tell you that this book is about how the Bushmen of the Kalahari desert in Botswana have learned to cope with extreme water shortage, and what we need to learn from them to cope with the upcoming global water shortage that will be caused by overpopulation and climate change. While this is indeed a theme of the book, it is not what I found to be the most interesting part. The Bushmen of the Kalahari are one of the few remaining examples on the planet of people living a pre-civilized (i.e. hunter-gatherer) way of life. Sleeping under the stars, living in the desert, owning only what they can carry with them, and obtaining their food and water by hunting and gathering. For millions of years, that was how all humans lived. Then this thing called "civilization" came along about 6000 years ago. Civilization basically took over the planet, not because everyone suddenly realized "hey this is better, let's adopt it", but instead because (for reasons brilliantly explained by Jared Diamond in "Guns, Germs, and Steel"), every time civilization came into contact with pre-civilized people, civilization won. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Broadsides-from-the-Other-Orders-Audiobook/B005Q0JSOI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Odd Sound Detracts Any additional comments? There was an odd audio artifact that I've not heard with other audiobooks from Audible. Occasionally I could hear a faint repeat of the soundtrack in the background. It reminds me of the background of old audio tapes where the soundtrack would bleed onto adjacent tape on the reel. So much fun! What made the experience of listening to Broadsides from the Other Orders the most enjoyable? It was really great to get a glimpse into the lives of so many different lovers-of-bugs. And the descriptions of the insects themselves and their habits were artful and inspiring. What did you like best about this story? Every chapter is different, keeping it fresh and interesting. What does Barbara Caruso bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Barbara's enthusiasm and honest admiration of entomologists, scientists, and insects really comes across in her voice. It is a delight to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Renewable-Energy-Audiobook/B005MRNYOU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Misleading Title The title and description of this book are both misleading. Given the content of the book, it should have been titled "A case for Nuclear and Hydrogen" as this is not a book about renewable energy alternatives- it is a case for moving to a Nuclear and Hydrogen based economy. In the book the author systematically dismisses (repeatedly) all forms of renewable energy except perhaps geothermal. He then goes on the say that Nuclear based electricity used to create hydrogen are the only 'serious' options available and that we should stop work in renewable energy (except large scale geothermal) and focus all efforts on building nuclear plants and a hydrogen infrastructure. He repeatedly talks about the 'cost of energy today' as if it is a valid baseline. Given peak oil and the massive external costs (pollution, global warming) and subsidies given to fossil fuels, the baseline price paid per kilowatt hour or gallon of gas are not nearly reflective of the real costs. Some of his criticisms of renewables are that they would require storage and grid upgrades, however he never discusses the possible use of renewables to actually create hydrogen, only focusing on using nuclear to create hydrogen. He's dismissive of issues with nuclear safety and radioactive waste and spends no time talking about potential unintended consequences of hydrogen. One of the touted benefits of the futuristic US hydrogen economy is that the hydrogen supplyin the form of wateris virtually limitless. This assumption is taken for granted so much that no major study has fully considered just how much water a sustainable hydrogen economy would need. Less than 3% of the worlds water is fresh water and that amount of usable fresh water is in decline. Additionally, we go to where we are with fossil fuels based on faulty assumptions of relatively limitless supplies and no lasting environmental impacts. Do we really want to bet the farm on using water? It might be a good answer, but it needs better big picture analysis. Other than sunlight, the earth is a closed loop system and any proposal to have an energy enconomy based on extraction (uranium and water) vs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Fueling-the-Planet-Audiobook/B0031XZIPK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

McElroy; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: If You Appreciate Quality Lecture Unlike most other offerings from Audible, this is a lecture series, not a performed book. So, if you expect a book, it may not be to your liking. I appreciate education and good lecture and therefore greatly enjoyed this selection. Each lecture is of equal length. (Book chapters vary) I am interested in the topic and know a bit about it. So for me, some material was not new. However, the material is presented so clearly that I enjoyed the refresher. I especially like professor McElroy's style. He's a superb, to the point speaker. I recommend this title with all possible stars if you enjoy learning, want to to learn about energy use world-wide and can appreciate a lecture-style delivery. Something to note: most lecture titles are simply recordings of delivered lectures. This seems to be designed for audio distribution. This is a very important point because you do not get long moments of hearing someone write on a blackboard you cannot see or working through a diagram you do not have. That makes these lectures very easy to follow and free of the usual frustrations that go with 'taped' lectures. Chris Reich The BEST book I've heard on Energy! This is a very intelligent and informative set of lectures. The material is communicated in a very interesting and fascinating way and the professor has an engaging, conversational manner that is very easy to listen to. Lots of history, facts, numbers and explanations. I could hear no bias or ideology and was given the facts and left to come to my own conclusions. Prof. McElroy covers all types of energy sources, giving their pros and cons. He deals with CO2 build ups, nuclear issues, global energy issues, renewable and non-renewable fuels along with the famous people involved in the history of energy. I loved every minute! A very good book,very interesting, I couldn't stop listening to it!! Excellent Grounding If you enjoy a sage perspective and a broad context for honing your knowledge so you can get a fix on the energy challenges we face, this is a marvelous primer. The Professor, with obviously comprehensive credentials, narrates the book as a series of 14 lectures, allowing the listener to build a firm grasp on background and issues. His thinking is logical, his style is low key and direct, he has no personal axe to grind and where these is no model to lend basis for an answer (even when others have been unambiguous in their beliefs), he is honest enogh to say so...and why. I found myself wanting to buy his book and go to the recommended website(s). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/You-Are-Here-Audiobook/B002V5D2C0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kostigen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 09-23-08 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Kostigen writes: "We may reduce, reuse, recycle. So we save a tree. We use less gas. We conserve power. What effect do those actions really have on the world? So much of this information is in a vacuum without the necessary context. We have been told, not shown, what issues matter and why. Read on and you will be taken to the frontlines of the environmental battlegrounds. This isn't about conjecture or the future....We travel to distant and exotic locales to make clear the price of our current actions." Starting with Jerusalem, where we see history crumbling before our eyes, Kostigen then takes us to what well may be a glimpse of our future in Linfen City, China, one of the most polluted cities on the planet. From a garbage patch twice the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to the melting arctic ice shelf, to the flood zone that is Mumbai, India, to the dwindling rainforests of the Amazon, You Are Here describes the environmental crisis in a way we can feel, see, and touch. Kostigen presents us with opportunities for change and shows us how to take action on the spot, wherever we are. Combining groundbreaking research and frontline reporting, Kostigen pulls back the curtain on the most pressing and provocative issues of the day - and in so doing, we see the earth and our place on it in brand new light. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Thomas M.

Members Reviews: You can have an impact book So why this book over other environmental books? Tom does an exceptional job bringing home the affect of our local actions on the rest of the world and the effect of others on the US. The book does not just address the issues from the security of an office but rather Tom takes the reader to the hot spots around the world. He looks at a lot of issues that are known. What is not know is how exactly our action affect the word. For instance, what would happen if I reused each plastic bottle of water just once? If we all did this the impact would be substantial. The book is not another droning "humans bad" environmental book. It is a "you can have an impact and do so easily book. I highly recommend the book. I will probably use it in my next conservation class. The recording itself is excellent and as Tom reads it, the annunciation matches the authors feeling. Narrating the obvious concerns of author facing surgery via machete in the middle of the rainforest can only be properly conveyed by the author himself. Inspirational in a way I did not expect If you could sum up You Are Here in three words, what would they be? Thoughtful. Thoughtful. Thoughtful. What was one of the most memorable moments of You Are Here? His descriptions of how the distribution of garbage works. How computers from the LA schools sit in land fills in India, and how something like 25% of the polution in LA is from China. He creates a whole picture .... but it is not dark, morbid and fanatic. It is thoughtful and well informed. Simple and to the point. What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? not sure If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Garbage, without judgement Any additional comments? I highly recommend this book. Growing up on a farm, I am very aware of what comes around goes around. I am also aware, that to go to one extreme or the other is pointless. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Water-Battery-Audiobook/B01GQSROIA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ice great story a real eye opener,interesting story of the frozen south and all what happens there in a year,thank you. it's a different world! I couldn't stop listening, it was such an interesting read you just had to find out what amazing revelation was going to be offered next. Entertaining and very informative Why do some glaciers race while others crawl? Is the life inside stones? Were do you find most meteorites? And why do penguins take a new mate if their partner is just a day or two late? This books gives answers to questions you would probably not have come up with. Entertaining, informative, great popular science. I had so many "wow, I didn't know that"-moments.

Title: Pick Your Poison Subtitle: How Our Mad Dash to Chemical Utopia is Making Lab Rats of Us All Author: Monona Rossol Narrator: Christine Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 08-03-12 Publisher: Turner Publishing Company Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: How the chemicals in everyday products are killing us - and what the government is not doing about it... Did you know that "nontoxic" usually means "never tested"? Or that many green cleaners are good for the environment but terrible for you? Chemist and activist Monona Rossol goes from under your sink to the halls of the powerful, tracing Americas love affair with chemicals that kill, explaining how much worse the problem has gotten in the last decade. Shocking and appalling and completely reckless - thats how she describes the current prevalence of harmful chemicals in our everyday lives. Scientists have started linking our increased rates of cancer, autism, obesity, and asthma (among others) to chemical exposure and Rossol points the finger directly at the companies and executives making millions of dollars by polluting our environment and introducing toxic chemicals into our bodies. She chronicles how everyday toxins get into our bodies and accumulate over time and provides us with inspiration to make changes at the checkout lines. She also explains that Americans are not nearly as well protected by our government as we might think we are. Unlike the European Union, the United States allows chemical companies to produce toxins for use in U.S. consumer products with little to no oversight. While her tone is wry and entertaining, shes also well informed, and her fact-filled treatise makes for absolutely terrifying reading. If youre alarmed by the health risks of the many hazardous chemicals we encounter at home, work, and school, dont get frightened, get informed.

Members Reviews: Pick Your Poison by Monona Rossol Pick Your Poison is a remarkable, fascinating and sobering read. It offers invaluable information for the full spectrum of readers - from layperson to the scientific expert. It is a "must read" for people seeking edification on the inundation of toxic chemicals and substances to themselves and their precious children's bodies. It also offers reasonable suggestions on how to proactively tackle and manage this overwhelming scenario. Monona Rossol brilliantly presents a vast array of complicated subjects in a clear, understandable fashion that is based upon her own internalized understanding of deep, complex scientific issues and extensive experience working in the field to assist others in creating a safer environment. Ms. Rossol has herself made a tremendous impact during her life in battling this toxic soup. This offers hope and inspiration to the rest of us to coalesce and work towards similar goals rather than feel totally alone, helpless and beaten by the greed of big business! As Monona Rossol says: "We at least need to try." A well written and important book to read about what chemicals are in so many products and foods. I enjoy reading this technical book on everyday and natural stated products and what they can do to the body.The author is very experienced and extremely well educated on the subject. I have not finished this book yet. I look forward reading a few pages each morning. I like to read a book twice to gather information that I didn't catch with the first reading. I think its' an important subject. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/American-Pests-Audiobook/B0039KV1EM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Pests Subtitle: Environmental Hazards in Daily Life and the Science of Epidemiology Author: James E. McWilliams Narrator: David Zinn Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-10 Publisher: Caravan Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Inspired by the still-revolutionary theories of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, James E. McWilliams argues for a more harmonious and rational approach to our relationship with insects, one that does not harm our environment and, consequently, ourselves along the way. Beginning with the early techniques of colonial farmers and ending with the modern use of chemical insecticides, McWilliams deftly shows how America's war on insects mirrors its continual struggle with nature, economic development, technology, and federal regulation. He reveals a very American paradox: the men and women who settled and developed this country sought to control the environment and achieve certain economic goals; yet their methods of agricultural expansion undermined their efforts and linked them even closer to the inexorable realities of the insect world. Critic Reviews: "[A] colorful chronicle of pest management in the United States... As well written as it is thorough." (Publishers Weekly) "[McWilliams'] book should resonate in these times of GM temptations and global food shortages." (Times Literary Supplement) "[McWilliams] knows how to address unusual historical topics in rich detail... Poignant... Thorough... Recommended." (Library Journal) biacuaduc@gmail.com (James E.

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: It's easier to incite than educate. The narrator is dryer than week old toast. The book itself is dangerous. Peppering flawed arguments with bits of truth which will lead the weak minded and gullible to assert they've been poisoned by the Judas Goat of industry, i.e. the pest control technician. Integrated Pest Management uses habitat modification, biological and finally chemical control to allow humans to produce food, fabrics and to limit the vectors which spread disease. This book does not take into account that professionals are licensed and educated to deal with these pest without harming people, pets or the environment. If you enjoy biting into an apple and finding half a caterpillar or picking the larvae of meal moths out of your morning bowl of granola, this is the book for you. If you, however, have pulled cockroaches out of the ear of a two-month old child or seen the result of a severe bedbug infestation in a home for developmentally disabled adults then you will find this book infuriating. Either way, do not operate heavy machinery while listening to it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Duckweed-Ethanol-Audiobook/B00OL7STDS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Duckweed Ethanol Subtitle: Duckweed Biomass Grown from Organic Wastes to Replace Corn for US and International Ethanol Biofuel Production Author: Christopher Kinkaid Narrator: Jon Ciano Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-14 Publisher: Solardyne, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: The smallest flowering plant, on Earth, is one of the most powerful, and widespread: duckweed. Usually, considered a nuisance, duckweed, upon close examination, is an impressive crop, in photosynthetic value. Ethanol, an industry dominated by the Corn Industry (King Corn), faces many challenges, including large water draws, rising fertilizer costs, large diesel fuel bills, and unintended impacts on Food markets. Corn, as a choice for ethanol production, pits food, versus fuel, for agricultural resources, increasing stresses between fundamental markets. An ideal source of biomass, for ethanol production, would not be a food crop, rather, a waste-crop. King Corn, dominates current domestic ethanol production markets, worth billions, each year. Supported with Federal Farm Subsidies, worth billions of dollars annually, the corn industry dictates the US ethanol markets, using Corn as the principle feedstock crop. At first glance, Corn, is an odd choice for ethanol production. Corn, began as a wild seed crop, domesticated by ancient man. Before the modern age, thousands of years of selective breeding, produced a Corn rich in proteins, and high in nutritional value. Modern Corn, has been engineered to go "the other direction," and reduce Corn's Protein, and increase Corn's Starch (Carbohydrate) production. The "Starch" in corn, is used for Ethanol production, and other by-products, such as Corn Syrup, and Distillers Dried Grains and Solubles (DDGS). Duckweed, is a choice for bulk biomass, which offers significant advantages over corn. Duckweed advantages include, lower energy costs, lower water resources, lower fertilizer costs, doesn't require valuable farmland, doesn't compete in Food markets, has higher Starch yield, per acre. Duckweed, in a controlled environment, can be grown, year round, and in diverse locations. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Christopher Kinkaid) Thu, 16 Oct 2014 06:42:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Duckweed-Ethanol-Audiobook/B00OL7STDS thebookvoice.com 01:03:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Poorly written! and certainly better than using a food crop like corn to produce ... Illuminating! Fermenting Duckweed seems to be more promising, and certainly better than using a food crop like corn to produce Biofuels. Many good ideas regarding revenue streams ...a good read and very informative on many levels. Non truths spoken here. Don't believe every word in this book. nothing about growing, harvesting and refining duckweed into ethanol. Very vague, non practical, full of bla-bla-bla If you expect this book contains practical guidelines and information - it does not. The author is very hyped up by the idea of using duckweed for ethanol production but does little to explain and give practical advice on how to build such process. The essence of the whole book can be expressed in one sentence: "duckweed is a next gen. energy crop". Each new page and chapter repeats this claim over and over again. Constant repetitions and no exact information about duckweed growing and harvesting techniques. The book lacks explanations how to increase starch content in duckweed to get more sugars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Hurricanes-and-Floods-Audiobook/B00GO57CC4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: No Blues here Would you consider the audio edition of Blues to be better than the print version? Yes Who was your favorite character and why? The bluefish What about Norman Dietzs performance did you like? The way he could be both characters. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Wish I could, but don't have that kind of time. Any additional comments? A great audible book about an interesting species of fish.

The book does not seem directed to a specific audience. It is sort of a chatty discussion about a few radiation related topics. It might be suitable for children, but does not seem aimed so. Very light in the explanation and occasionally wrong or at best fuzzy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Coyote-Audiobook/B00FZ34RJC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Coyote Subtitle: North America's Dog Author: Stephen R. Swinburne Narrator: Brian Hutchison Format: Unabridged Length: 25 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: From the Arctic Circle to Costa Rica, from Maine to the tip of Baja, California, the coyote thrives like no other animal in North America. It roams the Canadian wilderness and prowls the Arizona deserts and beyond. Over time this highly intelligent animal has learned to adapt to big cities, such as Los Angeles. It has even been sighted in Bronx, New York. But the coyote is not always welcome. Farmers and cattle ranchers, who lose valuable sheep, chickens, and cows to the hungry dog, view it as a damaging predator. On the other hand, supporters of the coyote argue that, like the wolf, the coyote plays an important role in nature.In this fascinating book, Steve Swinburne draws the reader into the secretive world of the coyote. His balanced and though-provoking text, illustrated with dramatic full-color photographs, examines how the coyote behaves and survives. He considers the past and present history of the coyote and what the future may hold in store for North America's native dog. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen R.

Great Book Can't say enough about Steve Swineburne books! He is fantastic. Makes my child want to read about animals all the time. She has learned so much from these. Her plan now is to get involved in saving the animals. Love these books! Really Another Must Read!!!! Informative and excellently written My children (8 and 11) loved the way the author combined his own adventures with so much information about coyotes in this fine, energetic book. The author's lively prose also helps to make this a wonderful example of the new journalism as it can be applied to children's literature. We need more books like this, and I hope the author can move on from coyote to other cats, like bobcat and tiger, etc. Yesterday, we bought his wolf book, "Once a Wolf," which my son and daughter say is equally fantastic. I'm going to recommend that "Coyote" and "Once a Wolf" be used in our school's curriculum, which at times might be a little heavily weighted toward math and pure science. Glad "Coyote" is in paperback! If the author should read his own reviews at this site, my children want him to know he should keep up the good work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Doomsday-Machine-Audiobook/B00DIAUCN4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels, and due to rising energy consumption and the looming threat of global warming, they are pushing for an even greater investment. Here, energy economist Andrew McKillop and social scientist Martin Cohen argue that the nuclear power dream being sold to us is pure fantasy. Debunking the multilayered myth that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe, they demonstrate how landscapes are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake to fuel the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians rarely discuss the true costs of nuclear power plants - from the subsidies that build the infrastructure to the unspoken guarantee that the public will pick up the cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion dollars. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Martin Cohen) Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:30:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Doomsday-Machine-Audiobook/B00DIAUCN4 thebookvoice.com 07:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Absolutely woeful - do not buy This book is a waste of time - I really tried, but gave up after an hour or so. This was one of a few books on nuclear technology that I bought (also Command and Control, and Atomic Accidents - both excellent books), but it quickly degenerated into a hyperbolic, highly opinionated piece of trash talk with little fact or supporting arguments for the opinion. I was hoping for some serious analysis of the problems of nuclear energy but ended up glib throw away lines that meandered more than a babbling brooke! I think author's main intention was to trash nuclear technology without much analysis, effort or detail. With more supporting facts, analysis and credible 3rd party opinion it would be greatly improved as the concept of the book is good. The performance wasn't much better. Although the vocal performance was good, the read kept descending into side notes, foot notes and other excerpts that were poorly performed and integrated. The performer (possibly from the authors text) kept swapping between a matter or fact / factual style of presentation to something you'd expect from a beer conversation at a local bar. I have a high tolerance for bad audio books and would have let either the poor performance or content go, but with everything being so bad, it was infuriating and a waste of my time. This is the only book I've considered asking Audible for a refund of and I have a lot of books from them. Can nuclear power be a bedtime story? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I'd recommend this for listening while travelling - say on a long road trip. But not as 'bedtime reading', no. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Doomsday Machine? The book makes a rather unnatural transiton to audio. But nonetheless, the style is simple and there are plenty of color details. It's definitely not for the casual reader, but for those interested in the topic - is nuclear energy the soltuion tothe world's energy crisis? Is it as safe as we're continually told? it's a friendly voice, giving thoughtful and careful insights. Did David Rapkin do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? We,, there are no 'characters', but he's certainly got a very suitable voice for the main 'techno-future' theme. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Salt-Marsh-Diary-Audiobook/B00D6PVPVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I loved this book I loved this book. I first listened to it on audible and have it to read as well. I love the author's animations of the birds and whatnot. I loved how he personifies the birds and their lives. It is good food for the imagination. Total escape from the boring world into nature... a daily read of great pleasure. I got this precisely because the right-wing didactic reviewer at the WSJ didn't like it, it wasn't A.R. precise enough for her. Me? I loved the use of the words, the flowing nature of the cadence, the singing use of lyric-like words that brought be firmly into the experience of the Salt March - a place of incredible complexity yet peace. Every story in this book transported us - my wife and I - before bed, with just the right length and emotion. Bravo! A poetic and passionate voice for nature This book is a jewel from a writer who has a unique vision of a world he knows so well, the salt marshes of the northeast. Mark Seth Lender connects you to nature with passion, art, pathos and humor. Each short chapter is an intense and entertaining reflection of what he sees and experiences. He takes you right there with him, and beyond. A great read. The author is a frequent contributor to Public Radio International's program, "Living on Earth" and a natural speaker. Check out his interview about the book on Channel 3 Eyewitness News Better CT. Poetic for sure The author's words are pure poetry, without seeming to be so. He has an unusual insight to his surroundings that is very easy to read and puts the reader right along side him as he wanders. A great book about a subject I am very fond of. Exceeded expectations I had read an excerpt from this book and that is what attracted me. Often the quote that entices is the best of the book,but in this case, it was just a sample of excellence. This is a must read for anyone who deeply loves nature. This is one of life's treasures. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Let-Them-Eat-Shrimp-Audiobook/B00EYOF2I8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Let Them Eat Shrimp Subtitle: The Tragic Disappearance of the Rainforests of the Sea Author: Kennedy Warne Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: What's the connection between a platter of jumbo shrimp at your local restaurant and murdered fishermen in Honduras, impoverished women in Ecuador, and disastrous hurricanes along America's Gulf coast? Mangroves. Many people have never heard of these salt-water forests, but for those who depend on their riches, mangroves are indispensable. They are natural storm barriers, home to innumerable exotic creatures - from crab eating vipers to man-eating tigers - and provide food and livelihoods to millions of coastal dwellers. Now they are being destroyed to make way for shrimp farming and other coastal development. For those who stand in the way of these industries, the consequences can be deadly. In Let Them Eat Shrimp, Kennedy Warne takes listeners into the muddy battle zone that is the mangrove forest. A tangle of snaking roots and twisted trunks, mangroves are often dismissed as foul wastelands. In fact, they are supermarkets of the sea, providing shellfish, crabs, honey, timber, and charcoal to coastal communities from Florida to South America to New Zealand. Generations have built their lives around mangroves and consider these swamps sacred. To shrimp farmers and land developers, mangroves simply represent a good investment. The tidal land on which they stand often has no title, so with a nod and wink from a compliant official, it can be turned from a public resource to a private possession. The forests are bulldozed, their traditional users dispossessed. The true price of shrimp farming and other coastal development has gone largely unheralded in the U.S. media. A longtime journalist, Warne now captures the insatiability of these industries and the magic of the mangroves. His vivid account will make every listener pause before ordering the shrimp. Editorial Reviews: This audiobook begins at a shrimp dinner and ends as an essential environmental manifesto. Journalist Kennedy Warne investigates the links between shrimp farming and the degradation of mangroves. He takes a look at shrimp harvesting across continents, explaining how governments do or do not protect mangroves in those regions. Like Barry Estrabrook's Tomatoland, this audio focuses on one element of our food system in order to illuminate broader environmental, social, and political problems of today's global economy. The audio raises consciousness about what and how we eat - it forces us to face where our food comes from, and how. Kevin Young is the perfect narrator for the occasion - low, authoritative, patient - it's like getting your favorite public radio host to talk for seven hours straight. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kennedy Warne) Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:17:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Let-Them-Eat-Shrimp-Audiobook/B00EYOF2I8 thebookvoice.com 06:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kevin Young is the perfect narrator for the occasion - low, authoritative, patient - it's like getting your favorite public radio host to talk for seven hours straight. Members Reviews: It's a sad commentary on our times written with heart and insight This is a rare look at what has only turned into another "Get rich quick at all cost and cause another ecological disaster" paradigm that seems to be so prevalent on our planet these days. It's a sad commentary on our times written with heart and insight. It was a real eye-opener for me, and I appreciated the up-close look at yet another travesty of our ecology perpetrated by money hungry humans and easily bought out government officials. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Our-Earth-Our-Species-Our-Selves-Audiobook/B071CVCPPF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Scientistâs Mind, Monkâs Heart Ellen Moyerâs book, Our Earth, Our Species, Our Selves: How to Thrive while creating a Sustainable World, went on a 10-day fishing trip to Canada with me. It was the first book I have ever immediately re-read. I found the her arguments relevant and well-annotated. Like many sustainability writers, she provides a wealth of information about the state of our industrialized practices that are destroying the planet, but she more importantly she reflects on how she arrived at being an action-oriented earth steward from childhood to adulthood. Her focus on personal development and significance of self reflection through life's struggles has particular application and was a great connecting point for me. She shares many personal experiences along her journey in a deep, reflective manner, further engaging my interests and deepening my self actualization process. Ellen craftily connects diet, exercise and meditation into how we can build a better, more sustainable economy and a much healthier planet. Clearly, she talks the talk AND walks the walk! I highly recommend this book. An Upbeat Conversation with You and Me âOur Earth, Our Species, Our Selvesâ has rightfully earned numerous positive reviews for its content and clarity. Iâd like to touch on part of the book that has, to some extent, received less attentionâits use of âchunkingâ to present its message. Information is divided into small pieces or chunks to help the reader understand the material easily and quickly. Short chapters are typically divided into six or seven sections with clear headings. Personal comments from the author appear in gray boxes. Indented and centered call-outs are printed in italics and then framed by double lines to call attention to key points presented in the body of the text. For example, "Computers recently revolutionized our way of life and our economy. Now, sustainability can do the same." Overall, the book makes good use of white space that invites the reader to delve into the material. The proposals for action in the text are, in fact, so accessible that readers can easily understand how they can start working to improve the environment. The book is not a treatise but rather a conversation with you and me as the ones who need to help make things better. It is easy to get discouraged Ellen Moyer is not fooling around. In just 200 pages she covers a huge amount of well-researched information that we need if we are going to save our world from environmental disaster. The stakes could not be higher. It is easy to get discouraged.

Title: Chasing Monarchs Subtitle: Migrating with the Butterflies of Passage Author: Robert Michael Pyle Narrator: Gary Dikeos Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: From roots to canopy, a lush, verdant history of the making of California. California now has more trees than at any time since the late Pleistocene. This green landscape, however, is not the work of nature. Its the work of history. In the years after the Gold Rush, American settlers remade the California landscape, harnessing nature to their vision of the good life. Horticulturists, boosters, and civic reformers began to "improve" the bare, brown countryside, planting millions of trees to create groves, wooded suburbs, and landscaped cities. They imported the blue-green eucalypts whose tangy fragrance was thought to cure malaria. They built the lucrative "Orange Empire" on the sweet juice and thick skin of the Washington navel, an industrial fruit. They lined their streets with graceful palms to announce that they were not in the Midwest anymore. To the north the majestic coastal redwoods inspired awe and invited exploitation. A resource in the state, the durable heartwood of these timeless giants became infrastructure, transformed by the saw teeth of American enterprise. By 1900 timber firms owned the entire redwood forest; by 1950 they had clear-cut almost all of the old-growth trees. In time Californias new landscape proved to be no paradise: The eucalypts in the Berkeley hills exploded in fire; the orange groves near Riverside froze on cold nights; Los Angeles palms harbored rats and dropped heavy fronds on the streets below. Disease, infestation, and development all spelled decline for these nonnative evergreens. In the north, however, a new forest of second-growth redwood took root, nurtured by protective laws and sustainable harvesting. Today there are more California redwoods than there were a century ago. Rich in character and story, Trees in Paradise is a dazzling narrative that offers an insightful, new perspective on the history of the Golden State and the American West. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert Michael Pyle) Fri, 09 May 2014 19:12:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Chasing-Monarchs-Audiobook/B00K7D2MOC thebookvoice.com 12:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love this book I raise Monarchs and maintain a Monarch way station in central Oklahoma. This year I was able to release almost 300 butterflies back into the environment. We also raised 10 Queen butterflies and released them. No one could have explained to me the emotional response these little souls inspire to those willing to enter their world. Like the author you find them fascinating at every stage. Larvae, chrysalis and adult, each stage is captivating. Dozens of "citizen scientists" have heard the urgency in conservationist's warnings that we are losing them in mass quantities. Companies like Monsanto and the GMO crisis are causing a cataclysmic change in habitat and no one can predict how devastating the results will be. A whole ecosystem is being threatened by their recklessness. Have we learned nothing over the years? Groups all over the United States are planting milkweed and nectar gardens but will it be enough? This book follows the author through out the Western range of not only Monarchs but other animals and takes you into a magical world that most of us fly by in motorized comfort unaware of the beauty and life and death struggles all around us to our great loss. The book is a poetic, spiritual glimpse into this world and spoke to my heart. I cried through pages and laughed in some, became enraged in others at the reckless abuse of our fellow travelers through this world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Return-to-Nature-Audiobook/B00UCE10WQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Return to Nature? Subtitle: An Ecological Counterhistory Author: Fred Dallmayr Narrator: Joe Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Sustainability has become a compelling topic of domestic and international debate as the world searches for effective solutions to accumulating ecological problems. In Return to Nature? An Ecological Counterhistory, Fred Dallmayr demonstrates how nature has been marginalized, colonized, and abused in the modern era. Although nature was regarded as a matrix that encompassed all beings in premodern and classical thought, modern Western thinkers tend to disregard this original unity, essentially exiling nature from human life. By means of a philosophical counterhistory leading from Spinoza to Dewey and beyond, the book traces successive efforts to correct this tendency. Grounding his writing in a holistic relationism that reconnects humanity with ecology, Dallmayr pleads for the reintroduction of nature into contemporary philosophical discussion and sociopolitical practice. Return to Nature? unites learning, intelligence, sensibility, and moral passion to offer a multifaceted history of philosophy with regard to our place in the natural world. Dallmayr's visionary writings provide an informed foundation for environmental policy and represent an impassioned call to reclaim nature in our everyday lives. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Fred Dallmayr) Mon, 09 Mar 2015 07:58:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Return-to-Nature-Audiobook/B00UCE10WQ thebookvoice.com 09:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Fevered Subtitle: Why a Hotter Planet Will Hurt Our Health - and How We Can Save Ourselves Author: Linda Marsa Narrator: Julie Eickhoff Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Beyond images of emaciated polar bears and drought-cracked lakes, there remains a major part of climate change's impact that the media has neglected: how our health will suffer from higher temperatures and extreme weather. From spiraling rates of asthma and allergies and spikes in heatstroke-related deaths to swarms of invasive insects carrying diseases like dengue or West Nile and increases in heart and lung disease and cancer, the effect of rising temperatures on human health will be far-reaching, and is more imminent than we think. Award-winning journalist Linda Marsa blends compelling narrative with cutting-edge science to explore the changes in Earth's increasingly fragile support system and provide a blueprint - a "medical Manhattan Project" - detailing what we need to do to protect ourselves from this imminent medical meltdown. In the tradition of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Marsa sounds the alarm on a subject that has largely been ignored by governments and policy makers, and persuasively argues why preparedness for the health effects of climate change is the most critical issue affecting our survival in the coming century. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Linda Marsa) Fri, 02 May 2014 14:52:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Fevered-Audiobook/B00K26GYQG thebookvoice.com 09:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Coming At Us This book looks at the present and coming impact of climate change on public health, and offers some examples of effective coping strategies. Clearly written, and chilling but hopeful. Not just recommended-- a must read. A Call to Action Meticulously researched, passionately written, FEVERED is a cry meant to awaken us from our torpor regarding the health consequences of climate change--if only we would listen. GREAT BOOK GREAT BOOK and would highly recommend to everyone as a good read.. Linda hits it on the head and people should be pro active. Thanks LInda Five Stars Awesome book. "As the planet grows hotter, we'll get sicker and die younger" XXXXX "As I began to research this book and initiated conversations with dozens of climate scientists, geologists, and atmospheric physicists, I learned that the [U.S.] Midwest and the [U.S.] Southern Plains are likely to tip into desert once again as temperatures continue their inexorable climb. Combing through the gripping and poignant oral histories of the survivors of the 1930s' Dust Bowl, it hit me that the bleak physical, psychological, and emotional assaults on their daily lives might offer a glimpse of what our future could hold. These stories also provide a disturbing preview of the impending deterioration of our physical health amid the growing deprivations, changes in ecosystems, and increasingly harsh weather that result from the careless dumping of billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere." The above comes from the beginning of the extremely well-written book by Linda Marsa. She is an investigative journalist who has covered medicine, health, and science for more than two decades. The hallmark of this book is that it depends on interviews with people. These people include scientists and public health doctors from all over the world. Aussies on climate change's front lines. Physicians, nurses, and firefighters in New Orleans who experienced Hurricane Katrina. Green activists in New York (where Super storm Sandy occurred) and Vancouver, Canada. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Fate-of-the-Species-Audiobook/B00BL8JBPA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The cause of this seismic event is also the source of the single biggest threat to human life: our own inventions. But for all our talk about sea levels and biotechnology, do we really know what our future will actually look like? Will our immune systems be attacked by so-called super bugs, always evolving, and more easily spread than ever? Will the disappearance of numerous species cripple the biosphere? And if it does, what happens then?

We find ourselves in a trap: Technology got us into this mess, and its also the only thing that can help us survive it.

Members Reviews: Good book Fast moving, gripping and quite plausible. I would recommend this book to anyone with this interest. Horrible book What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Accuracy would have helped. Maybe a single mention of what even the UN now states, that total world population will likely hit 9 billion and, for demographic reasons, start going down significantly. What do you think your next listen will be? Still searching. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Peterson? For this God aweful book? Elmer Fudd. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Title: Chesapeake Gold Subtitle: Man and Oyster on the Bay Author: Susan Brait Narrator: MacKenzie Nikol Greenwood Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: The figure of an old man poling a skiff toward shore against the evening light engaged Susan Brait to learn about Chesapeake Bay, and it is that image which opens this her book on the oystermen of the Bay and the sapping of their traditional life, and even the bounty of the Bay itself, by the demands of American society. With directness and poetic economy Brait takes the listener into the life of the Bay and into the complex relationships that affect oysters and those who make their living from them. Her account weaves easily from the daily work of oystermen to the natural forces that have shaped the Bay, from the experimental culture of oysters by marine biologists to the plans of businessmen who expect to grow and harvest the mollusks on privately owned reefs, from efforts to legislate control of the Bay and its resources to the upper reaches of the Susquehanna River where increasing pollution of the Bay originates from agricultural practices of the Amish and other farmers. These and other disparate elements are gracefully woven into a seamless web that represents the complex wholeness of the Bay itself. Chesapeake Gold is a sensitive portrayal of people and their place, but it is also more.

Title: Chesapeake Gold Subtitle: Man and Oyster on the Bay Author: Susan Brait Narrator: MacKenzie Nikol Greenwood Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: The figure of an old man poling a skiff toward shore against the evening light engaged Susan Brait to learn about Chesapeake Bay, and it is that image which opens this her book on the oystermen of the Bay and the sapping of their traditional life, and even the bounty of the Bay itself, by the demands of American society. With directness and poetic economy Brait takes the listener into the life of the Bay and into the complex relationships that affect oysters and those who make their living from them. Her account weaves easily from the daily work of oystermen to the natural forces that have shaped the Bay, from the experimental culture of oysters by marine biologists to the plans of businessmen who expect to grow and harvest the mollusks on privately owned reefs, from efforts to legislate control of the Bay and its resources to the upper reaches of the Susquehanna River where increasing pollution of the Bay originates from agricultural practices of the Amish and other farmers.

Members Reviews: Sordid history of oyster harvest in the Chesapeake Intertwining of the lives of oystermen with the plight of the oysters in the Chesapeake Bay, from their abundance when Jamestown was colonized by the British to the beginning of the dredging after the Civil War that would lead to ecological disaster.

Title: High Tech Trash Subtitle: Digital Devices, Hidden Toxics, and Human Health Author: Elizabeth Grossman Narrator: Elisa Carlson Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-29-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: The Digital Age was expected to usher in an era of clean production, an alternative to smokestack industries and their pollutants. But as environmental journalist Elizabeth Grossman reveals in this penetrating analysis of high tech manufacture and disposal, digital may be sleek, but it's anything but clean. Deep within every electronic device lie toxic materials that make up the bits and bytes, a complex thicket of lead, mercury, cadmium, plastics, and a host of other often harmful ingredients. High Tech Trash is a wake-up call to the importance of the e-waste issue and the health hazards involved. Americans alone own more than two billion pieces of high tech electronics and discard five to seven million tons each year. As a result, electronic waste already makes up more than two-thirds of the heavy metals and 40 percent of the lead found in our landfills. But the problem goes far beyond American shores, most tragically to the cities in China and India where shiploads of discarded electronics arrive daily. There, they are "recycled" - picked apart by hand, exposing thousands of workers and community residents to toxics. As Grossman notes, "This is a story in which we all play a part, whether we know it or not. If you sit at a desk in an office, talk to friends on your cell phone, watch television, listen to music on headphones, are a child in Guangdong, or a native of the Arctic, you are part of this story. "The answers lie in changing how we design, manufacture, and dispose of high tech electronics. Europe has led the way in regulating materials used in electronic devices and in e-waste recycling. But in the United States many have yet to recognize the persistent human health and environmental effects of the toxics in high tech devices. If Silent Spring brought national attention to the dangers of DDT and other pesticides, High Tech Trash could do the same for a new generation of technology's products. Editorial Reviews: Well, this one will certainly scare the bejeezus out of anyone who lives and dies by their cell phone. High-Tech Trash: Digital Devices, Hidden Toxics, and Human Health, written by environmental journalist Elizabeth Grossman, and narrated with pointed urgency by Elisa Carlson, is an extremely articulate and argumentally sound investigative report that details all the various ways your favorite trusted digital screen and resourceful cutting-edge device is harming your body. Not an alarmist study, but rather a window to a real life health crisis thats only getting worse in these current times of sleek technological "innovations". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Elizabeth Grossman) Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:50:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/High-Tech-Trash-Audiobook/B00FA85XGI thebookvoice.com 00:12:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One of today's most underreported environmental problems "High Tech Trash" by Elizabeth Grossman is an eye-opening account of the mounting environmental costs of living in a technology-dependent society. As Rachel Carson had once sounded the alarm about the dangers of chemical contamination to a prior generation, Ms. Grossman succeeds in exposing one of today's most underreported environmental problems in a persuasive and compelling manner. The author's carefully structured thesis is invigorated with skillful writing and narrative flair, creating both an intelligent and accessible work that should appeal to a wide audience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/A-World-to-Live-In-Audiobook/B06XK39G7P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A World to Live In Subtitle: An Ecologist's Vision for a Plundered Planet Author: George M. Woodwell Narrator: W.B. Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: A century of industrial development is the briefest of moments in the half billion years of the Earth's evolution. And yet our current era has brought greater changes to the Earth than any period in human history. The biosphere, the globe's life-giving envelope of air and climate, has been changed irreparably. In A World to Live In, the distinguished ecologist George Woodwell shows that the biosphere is now a global human protectorate and that its integrity of structure and function are tied closely to the human future. The earth is a living system, Woodwell explains, and its stability is threatened by human disruption. The assumption that we can continue to use fossil fuels and "adapt" to climate disruption, Woodwell argues, is a ticket to catastrophe. But Woodwell points the way toward a solution. We must respect the full range of life on Earth - not species alone, but their natural communities of plant and animal life that have built, and still maintain, the biosphere. We must recognize that the Earth's living systems are our heritage and that the preservation of the integrity of a finite biosphere is a necessity and an inviolable human right. Critic Reviews: "George Woodwell has brought pathbreaking science, sound policy judgment, and great humanity to the major issues...And it all comes brilliantly through in his informative, highly readable, and bracing new book." (James Gustave Speth, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies) "From the dean of US climate scientists, a wise and eloquent call to common-sense climate and environmental policy. Its message is authoritative but accessible, urgent without panic, visionary but practical." (David W. Orr, Oberlin College) biacuaduc@gmail.com (George M.

Orr, Oberlin College) Members Reviews: Tainted World View Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? A complete waste of my time. I would rather be outside enjoying things instead of inside thinking the sky is falling. This is what I get from listening to this book. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I don't think this story was supposed to be an enjoyable story. I think even though the author claims it was not a memoir, it certainly was. Though he has had some experience with these things he claims have plundered our planet, I think he is living under a cloud of doom and despair of ever having peace of mind about our environment. Unfortunately, he seems to have no answers, so he wants to share. What does W.B. Ward bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I wouldn't have picked up a print copy of this book. Listening to Mr. Ward is the only thing redeemable about this work. Was A World to Live In worth the listening time? Absolutely not. Any additional comments? I struggled through the first four chapters where the author mentioned things he only thinks he knows about, including mountain top removal in WV. He manages to mention no less than four types of energy production, but none of them are good enough. He gives no indication of what would be. When I finally decided to listen again, it would not load, so I decided to give my review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Storia-della-vita-sulla-Terra-Audiobook/B01LLUF3TU Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> Titolo: Storia della vita sulla Terra Sottotitolo: Dalle derive dei continenti agli ultimi arrivati Autore: Raffaele Sardella Narratore: Jacopo Venturiero Formato: Unabridged Durata: 3 hrs and 56 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 09-06-16 Editore: Il Narratore s.r.l.

Title: Great Pacific Garbage Patch Subtitle: Science & Nature Author: iMinds Narrator: Ellouise Rothwell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-18-09 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Learn about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. In 1997, a Californian man named Charles Moore was sailing home from Hawaii after competing in a boat race. On a whim, he decided to change course and head through a part of the eastern Pacific Ocean known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Known to seafarers as "the doldrums", this is an area of light or no wind and little boat traffic. Its calm weather is due to a permanent column of high pressure air, which causes the ocean for hundreds of miles across to swirl slowly towards its center. As Moore headed into the Gyre, he started to notice an unsettling amount of debris floating in the water. The closer he got to the center, the more garbage there appeared to be, and the vast majority of it was obviously of human origin. In fact, most of it was discarded plastic. Perfect to listen to while commuting, exercising, shopping or cleaning the house.. iMinds brings knowledge to your MP3 with 8 minute information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind. iMinds offers 12 main categories; become a Generalist by increasing your knowledge of Business, Politics, People, History, Pop Culture, Mystery, Crime, Culture, Religion, Concepts, Science and Sport.

Editorial Reviews: After competing in a yacht Race, Charles Moore left Hawaii to return to his home in California when he came upon a large amount of floating garbage in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The phenomenon is explained in this iMinds production, describing how ocean currents and the un-biodegradable nature of the refuse help to create this mass of garbage in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, as well as the threat it poses to marine life.

In 1997, a Californian man named Charles Moore was sailing home from Hawaii after competing in a boat race. On a whim, he decided to change course and head through a part of the eastern Pacific Ocean known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Known to seafarers as "the doldrums", this is an area of light or no wind and little boat traffic. Its calm weather is due to a permanent column of high pressure air, which causes the ocean for hundreds of miles across to swirl slowly towards its center. As Moore headed into the Gyre, he started to notice an unsettling amount of debris floating in the water. The closer he got to the center, the more garbage there appeared to be, and the vast majority of it was obviously of human origin. In fact, most of it was discarded plastic.

Editorial Reviews: After competing in a yacht Race, Charles Moore left Hawaii to return to his home in California when he came upon a large amount of floating garbage in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The phenomenon is explained in this iMinds production, describing how ocean currents and the un-biodegradable nature of the refuse help to create this mass of garbage in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, as well as the threat it poses to marine life.

This book is the epitomy of why the 2 sides are so polarized- Mr. Vance presents his arguments in a condescending fashion with insults and accusations of fraud by those who are counter to his belief. If you are close minded and align with his opinions you will love this book, otherwise don't waste your time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Us-Plastic-and-the-Environment-The-Relationship-Audiobook/B012U7T31M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Peregrine Falcon: Stories of the Blue Meanie Subtitle: Corrie Herring Hooks Series Author: Jim Enderson Narrator: Tom Kruse Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: A superb success as a bird, combining great speed, aeronautical grace, and fearlessness... inhabitant of wild places, inaccessible cliffs, and skyscrapers... worldwide dweller, trans-equatorial migrant, and docile captive - the peregrine falcon stands alone among all others of its kind. Perhaps this is why so many varied people rushed to its aid when it faced decimation by pesticide poisoning. In this personal and highly entertaining memoir, Jim Enderson tells stories of a lifetime spent studying, training, breeding, and simply enjoying peregrine falcons. He recalls how his boyhood interest in raptors grew into an ornithological career in which he became one of the leading experts who helped identity DDT as the cause of the peregrine falcon's sudden and massive decline across the United States. His stories reveal both the dedication that he and fellow researchers brought to the task of studying and restoring the peregrine and the hair-raising adventures that sometimes befell them along the way. Enderson also seamlessly weaves in the biology and natural history of the peregrine, as well as anecdotes about its traditional and widespread use in falconry as an aggressive yet tractable hunter, to offer a broad portrait of this splendid and intriguing falcon. The book is published by University of Texas Press. Critic Reviews: "This is a wide-ranging and readable treatment of the peregrine's decline and rebound in North America from crash to near-recovery... In fact, Enderson was one of the main players, and this goes a long way toward giving the book credibility." (Lloyd F. Kiff, Science Director, the Peregrine Fund) "A well written, accessible, and ultimately uplifting tale of survival."

Kiff, Science Director, the Peregrine Fund) "A well written, accessible, and ultimately uplifting tale of survival." (Southeastern Naturalist) Members Reviews: Worthy, informative, chatty - but no poetry... There is much in this book that is worthy and informative. While interspersed with personal anecdotes, it mainly records the steps taken to detect and remedy the disastrous effects of DDT on raptor populations - especially the peregrine - in the 50s and 60s. The author is an expert on peregrines and tells the story at length of how some of his close colleagues identified the causes of pesticide toxicity in the peregrine's decline. Later he goes into some detail about falconry, trapping, captive breeding etc. and the heartening revival of the species. He also describes some of the trips he took in order to record the peregrines' old hunting grounds. However what is missing, for me, is the drama, poetry and wildness I have always associated with the peregrine after reading the magnificent book by J.A.Baker, "The Peregrine," which unforgettably describes his obsession with the bird in a powerful, deeply personal and intense way. Compared to Baker's book, I found this audio book to be dull at times. The characters of the other scientists and specialists described were less than fascinating, although no doubt worthy of praise in the peregrine's long road back. But there are just too many names sometimes. The narration is in a "folksy," jolly tone that I found beginning to pall after a while, although at first I liked it. If Audible Books or any other producer had the insight to make an Audio version of J..A. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Greenwash-Effect-Audiobook/B00N35Q1OI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Climate and Culture Change in North America AD 900-1600 Subtitle: Clifton and Shirley Caldwell Texas Heritage Series Author: William C. Foster Narrator: Michael Lenz Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Climate change is today's news, but it isn't a new phenomenon. Centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling are well documented for Europe and the North Atlantic. These variations in climate, including the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), AD 900 to 1300, and the early centuries of the Little Ice Age (LIA), AD 1300 to 1600, had a substantial impact on the cultural history of Europe. In this pathfinding volume, William C. Foster marshals extensive evidence that the heating and cooling of the MWP and LIA also occurred in North America and significantly affected the cultural history of Native peoples of the American Southwest, Southern Plains, and Southeast. Correlating climate change data with studies of archaeological sites across the Southwest, Southern Plains, and Southeast, Foster presents the first comprehensive overview of how Native American societies responded to climate variations over seven centuries. He describes how, as in Europe, the MWP ushered in a cultural renaissance, during which population levels surged and Native peoples substantially intensified agriculture, constructed monumental architecture, and produced sophisticated works of art. Foster follows the rise of three dominant cultural centers-Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, Cahokia on the middle Mississippi River, and Casas Grandes in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico-that reached population levels comparable to those of London and Paris. Then he shows how the LIA reversed the gains of the MWP as population levels and agricultural production sharply declined; Chaco Canyon, Cahokia, and Casas Grandes collapsed; and dozens of smaller villages also collapsed or became fortresses. biacuaduc@gmail.com (William C.

Then he shows how the LIA reversed the gains of the MWP as population levels and agricultural production sharply declined; Chaco Canyon, Cahokia, and Casas Grandes collapsed; and dozens of smaller villages also collapsed or became fortresses.

Title: Climate and Culture Change in North America AD 900-1600 Subtitle: Clifton and Shirley Caldwell Texas Heritage Series Author: William C. Foster Narrator: Michael Lenz Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Climate change is today's news, but it isn't a new phenomenon. Centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling are well documented for Europe and the North Atlantic. These variations in climate, including the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), AD 900 to 1300, and the early centuries of the Little Ice Age (LIA), AD 1300 to 1600, had a substantial impact on the cultural history of Europe. In this pathfinding volume, William C. Foster marshals extensive evidence that the heating and cooling of the MWP and LIA also occurred in North America and significantly affected the cultural history of Native peoples of the American Southwest, Southern Plains, and Southeast. Correlating climate change data with studies of archaeological sites across the Southwest, Southern Plains, and Southeast, Foster presents the first comprehensive overview of how Native American societies responded to climate variations over seven centuries. He describes how, as in Europe, the MWP ushered in a cultural renaissance, during which population levels surged and Native peoples substantially intensified agriculture, constructed monumental architecture, and produced sophisticated works of art. Foster follows the rise of three dominant cultural centers-Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, Cahokia on the middle Mississippi River, and Casas Grandes in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico-that reached population levels comparable to those of London and Paris. Then he shows how the LIA reversed the gains of the MWP as population levels and agricultural production sharply declined; Chaco Canyon, Cahokia, and Casas Grandes collapsed; and dozens of smaller villages also collapsed or became fortresses. Members Reviews: Provide easily understood description of the effect of climate on Native American societies Anthropologists in the United States have a tendency to focus on specific Native American cultures and periods without looking at the "big picture" of what was happening in North America as a whole. They also tend to only communicate within their own circles of colleagues. Foster's book is a very useful effort to present a "big picture" of the culture and climatic changes in North America. My only negative comment would be that Foster fell into the trap of geocentric thinking that we see in American anthropologists. The book provides detailed information about the Four Corners area of the Southwest, but only sketchy info about the Southeast, where there were vastly more Native Americans living. He completely left out major town sites and cultural centers in order to present a simplistic image that would seem to conform to events in the Four Corners region. There were large mounds and permanent agricultural villages & towns in Georgia & Florida before agriculture even arrived in the Southwest. The mounds and Mississippian cultural traits of the massive 12 mile long Ocmulgee Conurbation in central Georgia appeared 150 years before they appeared at Cahokia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Climate-Change-Bolinda-Beginner-Guides-Audiobook/B007R4H0P0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Climate Change: Bolinda Beginner Guides Author: Emma Tompkins, Emily Boyd Narrator: James Adam Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Climate change is the greatest single problem we face as a planet. This important introduction skillfully guides us through the complex mix of scientific, political, social, and environmental issues at play in order to examine the manifold threats it poses and to explore the possible futures for our world. Focusing on the fact that the "point of no return" may in fact have already been passed, Boyd and Tompkins highlight the urgent need to start actively adapting to our changing climate if we want to avoid complete catastrophe. Editorial Reviews: While there are still those who dismiss global warming as a myth, authors Emma Tompkins and Emily Boyd operate under the scientifically-bolstered assumption that climate change is an irrefutable fact, and though they posit the troubling idea that perhaps its effects may already be irreversible, they still remain optimistic that a collective change in behavior may be able to prevent widespread catastrophe in their well-researched, common-sense overview of this thorny issue. As divisive and weighty as the topic can be, James Adams skilled, pitch-perfect delivery maintains an optimistic and engaging tone throughout, making for a captivating listen from beginning to end. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Emma Tompkins) Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:20:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Climate-Change-Bolinda-Beginner-Guides-Audiobook/B007R4H0P0 thebookvoice.com 05:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) N/A What didnt you like about James Adams performance? Very boring. But difficult subject. I don't think he would convince anyone who was on the fence. Could you see Climate Change: Bolinda Beginner Guides being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Title: Climate Subtitle: Causes and Effects of Climate Change Author: Dana Desonie Narrator: Diana Dorman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Climate is an informative introduction to the subject of climate change. Though climate change is normal in Earth's history, global warming has raised average temperatures to their highest in two millennia, resulting in melting ice caps, shorter winters, changes in the seasonal behaviors of animals, and more extreme weather. And though greenhouse gases are essential for keeping the planet's temperatures comfortable, fossil fuel burning and other human activities are increasing greenhouse gas levels and causing temperatures to rise. While a decade ago many scientists were skeptical that human activities could impact the climate system, their models now show that only human activities can account for the magnitude of changes being seen. Climate is a timely book that discusses the issue of global warming and what we can do to prevent its rise. Written in a clear, accessible manner, this book addresses how people must use energy more efficiently, develop alternative energy sources, and lower emissions technologies.

Members Reviews: Climate Causes and effects of climate change For grades 6 - 12 Each book in the Our Fragile Planet series focuses on the causes and effects of climate change and human impact on the atmosphere, biosphere, climate, geosphere, the natural environment, hydrosphere, oceans, and polar regions. Each fact-filled book includes photographs, charts, and graphs along with a glossary, an index, and references for further reading. The information found in this series will engage children(tm)s curiosity and provide them with a sense of stewardship. This volume focuses on how climate works and the natural and human causes of climate change. It explains how scientists learn about the past and present climate and how scientists predict future climate change.The second section explains the visible effects of climate change and discusses climate change in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Finally, the author discusses a warmer future, explaining the future consequences of global warming and the "tipping point." The last section explains ways to approach the climate change problem. Readers consider the options humans have for responding to this challenge. This thought-provoking book will make children and adults view our fragile planet in a new way. Written for students in grades 6 through 12, it could also be read by some elementary students. It would also be an excellent reference book for teachers. Teachers using differentiated instruction would find this book very useful. Visit my website at edconnectionsllc.com Robust Planet The idea behind this series of school textbooks is presented on the front cover: Our Fragile Planet. The book presents data to show that our climate is changing rapidly, with global warming the main result. The author bases her arguments on the latest IPCC report, which we now know is flawed at many points. Examples include erroneous predictions about the melting of Himalayan glaciers, the percentage of land in Holland below sea level and mistake references to the sensitivity of the amazonian forests to warming. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Extreme-Encounters-Audiobook/B002V8HING Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short, but interesting There's a lot of encounters packed into this audio book. Most of them are shorter than 8 minutes in length. The down side is that nothing is explained in massive detail, but the upshot is that you get the point and are able to cover more ground. The reading wasn't too bad, and overall I enjoyed listening to it. I caught myself squirming in my seat a few times. Don't waste your money Could this concept have been really interesting if written by another author? Until that happens we won't know.

The answer can be found in the propensities of man, her most gifted, but alas, also her most prodigal son. The world today may look to be the oyster to modern man, with his faculties of creativity, inventiveness, and enterprise. But looks are deceptive. Man has harnessed science and technology and also the new science of economics to bring about unprecedented prosperity, growth, and amenities of life. All this, however, has come at a grievous cost to nature - in the anthropogenic maladies that we, in our reckless quest for "progress" and comfort, have inflicted on the mother planet. Climate change and global warming; rampant exploitation of non-renewable fossil fuels belching out greenhouse gases; retreating glaciers; growing water, air, and noise pollution; ocean acidification; ozone depletion; dwindling forests; imperiled biodiversity; and the growing menace of e-waste - all are stark symptoms of the seemingly inexorable degradation that human activities have wrought on the once-pristine environment of this living planet. We do not seem to learn from the fearsome records of myriad disasters and the five great extinctions that had stricken the earth in the past. What is worse, we seem to be heading mindlessly toward our collective doom of a sixth extinction, this time threatening to be caused by human-induced climate change. Time is running out, but all is still not lost. Initiatives have already been launched by conscientious world bodies, conferences, and protocols to fight the hydra-headed monster of environmental pollution. What is needed is a broad-based general will - an "informed consent" by us, the conscious earthlings - to heal our beloved blue planet.

Members Reviews: HEALING is what the BLUE PLANET NEEDS Many years ago I wondered what it was exactly that caused so much enviromental destruction and pollution on a world wide scale. Individual causes didn't indicate an explaination sufficient to include the overall spreading of the damage on a world wide scale. When I read Healing of the Blue Planet it all became crystal clear to me. What a wonderful educational gift of enlightenment to give to your children or your family and friends. It is so spot on and an inspriation to everyone who reads it.Healing The Blue Planet A Truly Arresting Read! I just bought this book the other day, as it really leaped out at me from the shelf. I've just been glued to the front cover for the past week or so. The art is just so brilliant that I couldn't bring myself to look away. I could stare at those jolly fish all day long. In fact, I have. I haven't actually got around to opening the book up and reading the rest of it yet, but I'm sure that's pretty good as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Blue-Mind-Audiobook/B010BZ6GVU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Nichols Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Why are we drawn to the ocean each summer? Why does being near water set our minds and bodies at ease? In Blue Mind, Wallace J. Nichols revolutionizes how we think about these questions, revealing the remarkable truth about the benefits of being in, on, under, or simply near water. Grounded in cutting-edge studies in neurobiology, cognitive psychology, economics, and medicine, and made real by stories of innovative scientists, doctors, athletes, artists, environmentalists, businesspeople and lovers of nature - stories that fascinate the mind and touch the heart - Blue Mind will awaken readers to the vital importance of water to the health and happiness of us all. Critic Reviews: "[Wallace J.

Four Stars Very complete! most of it reads like filler. very little new information or perspective the book is very disappointing; most of it reads like filler. very little new information or perspective. Outstanding... A must read! Get Your Blue Mind On! Love this book (bought hardback AND ebook and cannot wait for audio version to be available in UK). It is hugely insightful and provides a glimpse into how and why we feel so much more "at home" by, in and on water. I am excited to see where the next chapter of Dr Nichols work takes us... Opening with wise words from J. Cousteau and closing with a compelling invitation from Dr Nichols to simply "get in the water..." This book can most definitely swim and like water through cracks in the earth it's ideas have the power to be truly & positively pervasive of our hearts and minds. It is both artful and scientific, I hope to see it make it's way into the hands & lives of all who value ecology and wellbeing of self, others and our blue planet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Plasma-at-Work-Audiobook/B00UTR7PNY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Plasma at Work Author: George A. Sites Narrator: Michael Welte Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-15 Publisher: George Sites Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: The purpose of this audiobook is to introduce the reader to many of the applications of the plasma arc. The applications are almost endless and it is one of the emerging technologies of tomorrow. According to Geoplasma, Municipal Waste Disposal is one of the most pressing environmental problems of the 21st century. According to the United States EPA, over 245 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) were generated in the United States in 2005. Population growth has consequently resulted in a significant increase in Municipal waste for disposal. Simultaneously, there has been increased pressure on business and civic leaders for better land use, environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Plasma Arc processing of waste materials is an innovative solution. It not only effectively disposes of waste but also creates large quantities of energy from MSW, a renewable resource. The combinations of solid waste disposal challenges and the recent steep increases in energy costs make plasma arc applications an important alternative to waste disposal in many markets, particularly island and peninsular states and densely populated areas where land costs are at a premium and shipping costs are prohibitive. biacuaduc@gmail.com (George A.

Members Reviews: Everything you always wanted to know about plasma power but didn't know who to ask. The big picture and the real world details - If you found this book by George Sites, you probably know a little about some type of high-temperature, high-power, plasma power application and want to know more. You found what you are looking for... The first half of the book discusses the broad world of plasma power applications and explains all of the related building blocks needed for a real system. This is a really useful overview of what a complete installed application might include. It also describes the astounding range of applications that all use the same basic plasma power supplies. Metal cutting is best known. Other applications described include simulating space re-entry temperatures, depositing metallic atoms on plastic film or glass, separating materials to their base elements, and even growing industrial diamonds. The second half gets into the details of plasma power supplies. It describes and compares different topologies. It also details the different control systems that characterize different power supplies to suit different applications. Of particular recent interest are how these combine to improve power factor, harmonics, and operating costs. The very best part is how the author used his years of contacts throughout the industry to include real-world photos and diagrams from numerous manufacturers to show how theory really get embodied in functioning hardware. The companies that make large plasma power supplies and plasma torches are a small collective that generally don't share much information. Whether you are in sales, design, or end applications, you will find 'Plasma At Work' a very rare overview of this unique sphere of engineering. Very few in the industry have the author's decades of experience, and far fewer have been generous enough to share their knowledge. This is a great resource to include to any university program on power engineering. I wanted to learn more about efficient waste-to-energy conversion I pass semi's daily carrying waste to landfill. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Florida-Bird-Songs-Audiobook/B00GWU8XCO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Black Bear Subtitle: North America's Bear Author: Stephen R. Swinburne Narrator: Brian Hutchison Format: Unabridged Length: 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. With its large population, and with more people moving into black bear territory, it's important that we understand this magnificent animal. Stephen R. Swinburne takes us to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "school teacher" for orphaned cubs who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. (Did you know that in the autumn, black bears consume as much as twenty thousand calories a day? That's equivalent to forty-two hamburgers!) With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen R.

Members Reviews: CHILDRENS' BEAR BOOK; VERY THIN AND HARDLY ANY PHOTOS OF BLACK BEARS. EASY TO READ TEXT FOR KIDS. MY NEW-USED COPY WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE INSIDE 2 OUT, VERY CHEAP, AND WAS AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY. I WAS QUITE SAD TO SEE THAT THE PUBLISHER COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THAT A BOOK ON BLACK BEARS COULD USE SOME BLACK-BEAR PHOTOS. HELLO. ANYWAY, NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE BOOKSELLERS....BUT THIS BEAR BOOK IS NOT WORTH GETTING BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH BLACK BEAR PICS TO SEE. Wow barely 30 pages.......what a rip.... Black Bear: North America's Bear....Not worth 10.00 ....Wow barely 30 pages.......nice pictures...but how crazy it's more a childrens book I will be sending to the public library!~ Three Stars didn't know it wasa young adult book Black Bear: North America's Bear Great book, with good accurate information and very wonderful pictures. I am a black bear lover and follower of the bears in Minnesota. Thank you for a really good book. Excellent We live in black bear territory, my grandchildren are very excited about it, and wanted to know about them. The book was wonderful, pictures were great, text was a little hard but I was able to talk them through it.

This is exactly what I had in mind. The tracks are between 2 and 5 minutes, no voice over comment, just the bird singing in a high quality recording. There are 40 different bird songs showcased from all over the world. The record is truly great. You will hear some amazing sounds in this compilation. Thank you, Audible, for making available this wonderful material. Excellent recording but... Excellent recording but for someone like me who is interested in which birds are which for the purpose of future identification it is very unhelpful/exasperating not having a detailed running order for the tracks - number and what species are contained in each track or "chapter" [which is how they come up on iTunes]. Can you address this issue by sending me a track list or making one available on the website please? Enjoyable menagerie of bird songs. Would you consider the audio edition of Beautiful Bird Songs from Around the World to be better than the print version? What a stupid question. How can there be a print version of a book about bird songs? It has to be listened to, not read. Who was your favorite character and why? I love the song of the Blackbird, but love most of the songs in this book. Which scene did you most enjoy? Most of them. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? some of the bird songs are very funny, sounding like squeaky toys or squeaky swings or just funny or quirky. Any additional comments? I think the Blackbird is wrong as it's missing. I hear very little of the Blackbird and lots of Nightingales instead. I have the cd version and definitely heard blackbirds where they should be on that. Needs investigating I think. Delight These gorgeous sounds have delighted my teenage naturalist grandchild, and given my bored feline ecstasy on a boring gray winter day despite his puzzle that I can't help locate the songsters. A lasting pleasure for me too. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Wind-Audiobook/B002V8H9US Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found the first 2 cd's so painful I threw it away. I was looking for a more scientific and less personal story - which was not the book the author wrote. I would recomend it if you are interested in lyical descriptions of wind - but you don't really want to know about the science. OK, some interesting stuff, but not enough This felt like part travel log, part science book. I learned some stuff, but it seemed a bit long for this. If you're really interested in the topic, I'd say go for it. But, it's not like some books that I tell friends about. disappointing This book is like salt-free potato chips, empty calories without anything interesting. Not as informative as I would have wished. Would you try another book written by Jan DeBlieu or narrated by Mary Woods? Overall, not a book for me to recommend. I understand that scientific works can be made more easily understood by such books. A Brief History of Time for example. Loved it. However, the narrator could not get me interested in this somewhat disjointed approach to explaining some of the phenomena of wind currents around the world. What will your next listen be? Back to something more interestingly portrayed by a less soporific narration. How did the narrator detract from the book? This was a voice which I felt did nothing to increase my interest, beautiful the author is in love with the wind and melds science, history and philosophy with descriptive prose to show you why only criticism is the prosecution can meander and stray at times but not enough to lose a star If like me you are focused on Strategy, change and leadership then learning about the chaotic constant that is Wind, how it affects the world, life and the whole of humanity is essential reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Storm-World-Audiobook/B002V8H1ZQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Storm World Subtitle: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming Author: Chris Mooney Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-07 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Mooney follows the lives and careers of the two leading scientists who stand, bitterly opposed, on either side of the issue. One believes that global warming has nothing to do with hurricane ferocity or frequency; the other believes as fervently that it does; both have staked their reputations on their respective positions. Mooney shows these two men in action as they debate the issue across the country and are followed by the media. He also uses them as a way of showing how hurricane studies have evolved and how government, the media, Big Business, and politics have affected the ways we study and interpret weather patterns. Hurricanes are natural disasters, capable of inflicting almost unimaginable destruction. The culture that has grown up around predicting, charting, and even defining them is very much man-made. Combining lively portraits of the leading figures, vivid science journalism, and the latest reportage from the weather front (the last section covers the 2006 hurricane season), Mooney, a native of New Orleans, has written what will surely be one of the most talked-about books of the year. Critic Reviews: "Storm World...skillfully anatomizes the scientific and political debate over hurricanes and global warming." (The Washington Post) "A well-researched, nuanced book." (The New York Times) "The author's thorough research is evident throughout, and he does a fine job of sifting through complexities and presenting the science in an engaging and readable package....In Storm World, Mooney catches real science in the act and, in so doing, weaves a story as intriguing as it is important."

Title: Storm World Subtitle: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming Author: Chris Mooney Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-07 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Mooney follows the lives and careers of the two leading scientists who stand, bitterly opposed, on either side of the issue. One believes that global warming has nothing to do with hurricane ferocity or frequency; the other believes as fervently that it does; both have staked their reputations on their respective positions. Mooney shows these two men in action as they debate the issue across the country and are followed by the media. He also uses them as a way of showing how hurricane studies have evolved and how government, the media, Big Business, and politics have affected the ways we study and interpret weather patterns. Hurricanes are natural disasters, capable of inflicting almost unimaginable destruction. The culture that has grown up around predicting, charting, and even defining them is very much man-made. Combining lively portraits of the leading figures, vivid science journalism, and the latest reportage from the weather front (the last section covers the 2006 hurricane season), Mooney, a native of New Orleans, has written what will surely be one of the most talked-about books of the year.

(The Los Angeles Times) Members Reviews: A compelling history of the science of hurricanes Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is a fascinating history of hurricane science, running in parallel with our increasing understanding of global warming. Mooney presents a wel-researched history of hurricane science, along with personal interviews and insight into the people who developed it. It's fascinating to learn how recently we came to understand the physics of hurricanes and what affects them. What did you like best about this story? The parallel storytelling of global warming and hurricane physics - a great way to structure the book https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Incredible-Honeybee-Audiobook/B072QW4XYD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hopefully the older denialist's are on the run Tim summed it up in the last chapters when he said that the younger generation have taken the decision about CC away from the older skeptics. There is a chance When looking at the business as usual climate future you can fall easily into dispare, but this book give a glimpse at something much more hopeful. But only if we are brave enough to demand it and fund it. Excellent Any additional comments? Exhilarating to be listening to solutions (ones that could be implemented) instead of being ground down with all the problems. a great update on the climate an informative update on the state of the climate including the progress to date and the task ahead. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/La-energia-Energy-Audiobook/B00QHEFXF0 Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> Título: La energía [Energy] Autor: Juan Romay Narrador: Ramón Fernández de Castro Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 16 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 12-03-14 Editor: Audiomol Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Science & Technology, Environment Resumen del editor: El petróleo: el combustible por excelencia de la sociedad industrializada de este siglo.

Title: Putting the Genie Back Subtitle: Two Degrees Celsius Will Be Harder than We Think Author: David Hone Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-14 Publisher: Whitefox Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: David Hone, Chief Climate Change advisor to Shell, takes on the subject of climate change in a frank and open discussion built on more than 30 years in the energy industry and the last dozen in the field of climate change. The conclusion, "It's going to be much tougher than we think to solve this problem, but solve it we must." Climate change could be categorized as the most pervasive yet least understood issue of our generation. Some deny it, others are incensed by it, but most are left in the middle wondering what to think and, more importantly, do about it. While they wait and wonder, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increase, which almost certainly points to additional future warming of the climate system. Governments have been trying to come to terms with this for over twenty years and have little to show for their efforts; emissions just continue to rise, yet at some point during this century they have to return to zero - from 40 billion tons per annum today. A few argue that this will be easy; just get rid of fossil fuels and the problem is solved. But we need the energy these fuels provide for everything we do, use, make, and buy. Nothing currently comes even close to offering a universal replacement. The solutions lie within our grasp; it's just a question of whether we want to use them. But from Canberra to Capetown and Washington to Warsaw, controversy abounds. All proceeds from this audiobook will be donated to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and 2041, two NGOs that the author has worked with directly over many years. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Hone) Thu, 30 Oct 2014 05:15:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Putting-the-Genie-Back-Audiobook/B00OZT1WIQ thebookvoice.com 02:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Definitive Black Bear Education What other book might you compare Encounter to and why? The book reminds me of Omnivores Dilemma where author Micheal Pollan joins other outdoorsmen. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The story of a father confronting a black bear attempting to drag his son down an embankment. Any additional comments? I learned from the book that most black bear attacks are triggered by dogs, and I have two of them.

If you could sum up Rainforest Requiem in three words, what would they be? I can't. Who was your favorite character and why? I don't have one. I don't know any of the animals I was hearing. Which character as performed by the narrator was your favourite? Yet again, an irrelevant and stupid question in this case, as there is no narrator and no characters in the conventional story sense. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Any additional comments? I enjoyed this book but wouldn't like to use it for meditation as there are volume changes between some of the recordings which made me jump as it was. Darned DRM!! I wish I had read more carefully that Audible files are DRM's. All I want to do is to store the files on my NAS and play them back via my Sonos box. What a pain - I will never use this service again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Secret-Life-of-the-Owl-Audiobook/B076BTKZ5P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Secret Life of the Owl Author: John Lewis-Stempel Narrator: Roy McMillan Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-17 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Secret Life of the Owl by John Lewis-Stempel, read by Roy McMillan. 'Dusk is filling the valley. It is the time of the gloaming, the owl-light. Out in the wood, the resident tawny has started calling, hoo-hoo-hoo-h-o-o-o.' There is something about owls. They feature in every major culture from the Stone Age onwards. They are creatures of the night, and thus of magic. They are the birds of ill tidings, the avian messengers from the Other Side. But owls - with the sapient flatness of their faces, their big, round eyes, their paternal expressions - are also reassuringly familiar. We see them as wise, like Athena's owl, and loyal, like Harry Potter's Hedwig. Human-like, in other words. No other species has so captivated us. In The Secret Life of the Owl, John Lewis-Stempel explores the legends and history of the owl. And in vivid, lyrical prose, he celebrates all the realities of this magnificent creature, whose natural powers are as fantastic as any myth.

I'd like to order the book "Iszachar for the 21s Century". Thanks. Fantastic fodder for fourth and fifth graders! (And every other grade!) So glad this is now an ebook! I can share interesting tidbits with my students anytime. When I sub in various schools and grades, I can always find an intriguing article for every age. Great way to engage kids! Love, love, love it!

Members Reviews: and other useful or just curiosity fulfilling information is in DeBlieu's well-crafted ... I have wondered about the winds that shape the dunes, the water, the snowdrifts, and piles of leaves I see as I run. Why are some dunes steep; some leaves scattered; how can the layers of clouds be moving so differently---answers to at least parts of these, directions to where to go to find further information, and other useful or just curiosity fulfilling information is in DeBlieu's well-crafted book. John Morelock "Run Gently Out There Good read, although somewhat sentimental and less factual than ... Good read, although somewhat sentimental and less factual than I was looking for . .. a perfect summer beach read. Tremendous Breadth Of Coverage When you first start reading this book, you're not quite sure how Ms DeBlieu is going to develop the topic. She uses a lot of local (Cape Hatteras) analogies and personal accounts, and there's this feeling in the back of your mind, "hmm, is this going to be just another nature book, about sand dunes and sailing ships?" But pretty soon, you're hooked. I've not read better descriptions of the major wind systems, or of the origins of hurricanes. And as she begins to dig into the effects of wind on civilization, you'll find this impossible to put down. The final chapter of wind power is especially remarkable. No, it's not just another nature book, not at all. Four Stars Great A blow-by-blow account The author, Jan DeBlieu, lives on the Outer Banks and knows wind intimately as anyone who lives there must. But her vision is much broader than local, and her style verges on the poetic, making this much more compelling than a mere local nature memoir. Her observations are acute enough that I could, for example, use her discussion of the effect of topography on wind and vegetation on Mount Washington, New Hampshire, to explain the phenomena one observes at and near tree-line in California's Sierra Nevada to my students afield. At one point she lists the local names for vicious katabatic (downslope) winds around the world, and includes the word "Zonda" without identifying its provenance. The Zonda blows down the fault valley between pre-Andean ranges and the Andes proper in the western part of San Juan Province, Argentina. It is quite capable of driving a susceptible soul stark-raving mad. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Keeping-Our-Cool-Audiobook/B00BL6FXGI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Keeping Our Cool Subtitle: Canada in a Warming World Author: Andrew Weaver Narrator: David Skulski Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-13 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: Monster wildfires in Australia, January golfers in PEI, ruined fruit crops in California, snowless ski runs in Switzerland, starving polar bears in the North, devastated trees in Stanley Park. Climate change is no longer a vague threat. The climate change we are in store for over the next few centuries will be larger and occur faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Brilliantly researched, Keeping Our Cool is a comprehensive and engaging examination and explanation of global warming, with a specific emphasis on climate change in Canada. In an engaging and accessible way, Weaver explains the levels of greenhouse gas emissions needed to stabilize the climate and offers solutions and a path toward a sustainable future. Critic Reviews: "Colourful and outspoken academic [Andrew Weaver] ... gives a sobering account of climate change and includes colourful commentary on the increasingly wacky weather." (Edmonton Journal) "Weaver is one of Canadas most influential thinkers on global warming, an expert on how oceans shape climate." (The Globe and Mail) "It is crucial that Canadians understand the stakes in the climate debate, and Andrew Weaver has both the credentials and the straightforward style to get that job done.

Title: The Living Shore Subtitle: Rediscovering a Lost World Author: Rowan Jacobsen Narrator: Maxwell Caulfield Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: In the 1990s, a marine scientist named Brian Kingzett was commissioned to survey Canada's western coast. He saw amazing sights, from the wildest, most breathtaking coasts to the smallest of marine creatures. Along the western side of Vancouver Island, Kingzett nosed into an isolated pocket beach where he found something unusual. Amid the mussels, barnacles, and clams were round oysters - Olympias. Kingzett noted their presence and paddled on. A decade later when he met Betsy Peabody, executive director of the Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF), he learned that this once ubiquitous native oyster was in steep decline, and he knew that together they would return to this remote spot. Rowan Jacobsen, along with Kingzett, Peabody, and a small group of scientists from PSRF and the Nature Conservancy, set out last July to see if the Olys were still surviving - and if they were, what they could learn from them. The goal: to use their pristine natural beds, which have probably been around for millennia, as blueprints for the habitat restoration efforts in Puget Sound. The implications are vast. If Peabody and her team can bring good health back to Puget Sound by restoring the intertidal zones - the areas of land exposed during low tide and submerged during high tide, where oysters live - their research could serve as a model for saving the world's oceans. During a time when the fate of the oceans seems uncertain, Rowan Jacobsen has found hope in the form of a small shelled creature living in the lost world where all life began. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Rowan Jacobsen) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:24:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Living-Shore-Audiobook/B00BJRE306 thebookvoice.com 03:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful book, but many typos in Kindle edition This was such an interesting story, about oysters and their role in the health of marine environments. It also talked about current thinking on the role of the seashore in human history. The book was well written, but I found the Kindle edition quite annoying. It had bizarre spaces in so many words--it seemed like serious errors on every few pages. For example, the word particular would display as par ti cu lar, or sometimes have a hyphen where it didn't belong. If I had known this in advance, I think I would have gotten the print edition, so I wanted to warn others... Five Stars Great read A Remarkable, Succinct Book I bought *The Living Shore* after hearing the author on NPR (West Coast Live?) and enjoyed this short, satisfying book on the natural history of oysters and other shellfish, the threatened status of their habitat, and their role in human history and evolution - wow! Four Stars excellent book, Very good book I sent this as a gift to my father. He has lived on Puget Sound for 80+ years, and said he enjoyed the book very much. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/An-Appeal-to-Reason-Audiobook/B002V00XU4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He concludes that, contrary to the deeply-flawed Stern Review, the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds; that global warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be; and that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that the threat it is supposed to avert. All this is argued with logic, common sense, even wit, and thoroughly sourced and referenced. The book concludes by outlining the form a rational response to global warming should take, and explains why the mistaken conventional wisdom has become the quasi-religion it is today, and the dangers that this presents. Lord Lawson has written a long overdue and much needed corrective to the barrage of spin and hype to which the politicians and media have been subjecting the public on this important issue, which affects us all. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Nigel Lawson) Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:50:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/An-Appeal-to-Reason-Audiobook/B002V00XU4 thebookvoice.com 03:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Logic on the Global Warming debate What did you love best about An Appeal to Reason? The logical argument presented by Nigel Lawson is not based on opposing the views of the pro global warming movement, but by explaining the impact of what the movement is proposing and letting the listener draw their own conclusion to the validity of the argument. What other book might you compare An Appeal to Reason to and why? If you like this book you may be interested in Professor Plimers 'Heaven and Hell.' Both books rely on science and logic to provide persuasive arguments on this topic. What about Stephen Thornes performance did you like? I found Stephen Thorne's delivery to be well timed and very clear, whether listing at normal speed or double speed. As he reads the book,I get the feeling that Nigel words are talking directly to me. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book made me very frustrated with the global warming religion and the impact these are having in the political world. Any additional comments? A must read, if you want to be aware of both sides of the debate. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Netting-the-Sun-Audiobook/B075QL74C8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sensuous visit to Oregon's high desert A poetic history of geography, environment, culture ~describing the author's personal love of Place, Lake County, Oregon .I immediately wanted to re-read this book. Beautiful writing. Smell the sagebrush Took me back home. Been there, done that, saw most of it. Just as advertised, and still in the shrink wrap. Great job. Thanks. Great local color. I loved this book! The author was raised about a hundred miles from where I live. It gave me some ideas on where to go to photograph petroglyphs. I was very familiar with most of the places he talked about and knew of some of the events he mentioned. He also had some ideas on the interpretation of petroglyphs which led me to purchase another book, "The Rocks Begin to Speak" by LaVan Martineau. This also, was a very good book. If you are from Eastern Oregon you would enjoy this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Geochemistry-Audiobook/B073ZK298N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

An essential oddity for any book collection. In this charming and witty companion, Jack Cooke explores the city through its canopy: teetering on the edge of an oak's branches, scurrying up a Scots pine, spying views from the treetops that few have ever had the chance to see. He takes us through the parks, over the canals and rivers and into secret gardens in his journey sometimes only 10 feet above the street. Part guidebook, part meditation on the consolations of nature, The Tree Climber's Guide is as uniquely odd, alluring and motley as the trees themselves. It is a journey into the tangle of bark and branches that surround us all and a welcome reminder that the best things in life are free - they just sometimes require a step in the right direction.

I would have preferred fewer literary references and more of the fascinating facts about hugely diverse topics which are touched on in the book. Vividly descriptive but irritatingly pretentious at times. Very educational If you have a passion for history and trees this book is definitely for you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Planets-Are-People-Too-Audiobook/B01J6LGT4O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She became a healthcare provider in 2004, where her inspiration transpired from learning & witnessing the similarities of planets & people. Both get sick when dehydrated. Both throw-up toxins. Neither are blown-up safely. For these reasons & more, she decided to write. And this is why Planets are People Too - Starring the Sun.

Members Reviews: A Great Book for Personal Reflection or Guided Reflections in a Group As an interim minister myself, one who has moved often from one end of the country to the other, I was intrigued to see how this author would link her own itinerant ministry with a sense of place in one place after another. She did it beautifully. In each chapter, she gave me vivid pictures of both landscape and culture. Better yet, she showed how landscape -- the nature of a place -- helps to create the nature of the people there as well as how the people leave their mark on the place. It is this intricate system of causes and effects that intrigued me throughout the book. But there was still more for me in the author's sensitivity to showing what it is really like to uproot oneself and then inevitably put down new roots somewhere else, and then equally inevitably uproot yet again. One has to be at home in oneself to do it. What this minister-as-author shows is that being at home in the nature of the place where you are enables you to be at home in yourself no matter where you are and thus able to minister to a new congregation of people in a new place, time after time. All these intricacies in the book work so well and come across so meaningfully to a reader because Gail Collins-Ranadive is herself a fine writer, one who creates images that a reader can really see and who weaves idea with image so that a reader can really understand. I could easily see using this book as guide for a group meeting multiple times for reflection. In fact, at the back of the book I found suggestions for reflection based on each chapter. What a wonderful book -- Follow Gail's journey as she rediscovers nature ... What a wonderful book -- Follow Gail's journey as she rediscovers nature each time she moved to a new location -- how she learned to enjoy nature wherever her spiritual journey led her to! I highly recommend Gail Collins-Ranadive's call to reconnect the human spirit to ... Insightful and passionate. I highly recommend Gail Collins-Ranadive's call to reconnect the human spirit to the natural world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Cultiva-Algas-para-Sacar-Ganancia-Cultivating-Algae-for-Profit-Audiobook/B00VVPN39I Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> Título: Cultiva Algas para Sacar Ganancia [Cultivating Algae for Profit] Subtitular: Cómo Construir un Fotobiorreactor de Cultivo de Algas para Proteínas, Lípidos, Carbohidratos, Antioxidantes, Biocombustibles, y Biodiesel Autor: Christopher Kinkaid Narrador: Cal Hunter Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 43 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 04-10-15 Editor: Solardyne, LLC Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Science & Technology, Environment Resumen del editor: Las Algas son un milagro de la Naturaleza.

Title: A Slow Passion Subtitle: Snails, My Garden and Me Author: Ruth Brooks Narrator: Kelly Birch Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-14 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: When BBC Radio 4's Material World programme announced a search for the UK's top amateur scientist, little did anyone expect that the winning experiment would comprise one of our humblest garden pests. Ruth Brooks posed this question: Do snails have a homing instinct? The nation was gripped by the unexpected thesis and by Ruth's online diaries, which catalogued her trials and tribulations as she got to grips with these slimy little gastropods. A Slow Passion is Ruth's story, with anecdotes and misadventures galore. What starts out as a ruthless vendetta against the snails that are decimating her hostas becomes a journey of discovery into the whys and wherefores of snail life. When Ruth dumps a group of the worst offending snails in a far-off wood, she decides to paint their shells with nail varnish, just to see what happens. And guess what, they come back home. This is the beginning of an obsession that sees the grandmother-turned-scientist prowling about and pouncing on the snails in her garden, sneaking off on night-time missions to repatriate bucket loads of painted snails, reading up on the sex-life of snails (which turns out to be unexpectedly romantic) and, eventually, sending off the application to a national competition for home science. With charming illustrations, A Slow Passion is a sweet, funny and surprising investigation into the hidden life of snails, which will change the way you look at the smaller (and slower) things in life. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ruth Brooks) Fri, 10 Jan 2014 22:28:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/A-Slow-Passion-Audiobook/B00HR8TEMI thebookvoice.com 06:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When Ruth dumps a group of the worst offending snails in a far-off wood, she decides to paint their shells with nail varnish, just to see what happens. And guess what, they come back home. This is the beginning of an obsession that sees the grandmother-turned-scientist prowling about and pouncing on the snails in her garden, sneaking off on night-time missions to repatriate bucket loads of painted snails, reading up on the sex-life of snails (which turns out to be unexpectedly romantic) and, eventually, sending off the application to a national competition for home science. With charming illustrations, A Slow Passion is a sweet, funny and surprising investigation into the hidden life of snails, which will change the way you look at the smaller (and slower) things in life.

Title: A Slow Passion Subtitle: Snails, My Garden and Me Author: Ruth Brooks Narrator: Kelly Birch Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-14 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: When BBC Radio 4's Material World programme announced a search for the UK's top amateur scientist, little did anyone expect that the winning experiment would comprise one of our humblest garden pests. Ruth Brooks posed this question: Do snails have a homing instinct? The nation was gripped by the unexpected thesis and by Ruth's online diaries, which catalogued her trials and tribulations as she got to grips with these slimy little gastropods.

Members Reviews: "In The Garden, Nothing Had Changed - Except Me." Written with an eloquence that rivals Ruth Brook's vast scientific curiosity, this little book proved to be a deeply inspirational account of how one woman made her peace with the molluscs invading her garden, and in so doing, found peace within herself as well. It begins as a nostalgic memoir of her childhood in the 1940s-50s, within the context of her enduring love of nature. Along the way, snails play a role in her memories, but it is not until she begins to wonder how to rid her flowerbeds of these "pests" without killing them that she takes a long-shot and enters the BBC Amateur Scientist competition. From here on, the book becomes heavy on science. The author has a marvelous style of writing, a rare blend of entertaining and educational. She is quite enthusiastic about her subject, while her recounting of the trials, tribulations and successes of her homing instinct experiment, were, for this snail enthusiast, thrilling to read. Incidentally, Ruth Brooks has gone no little way in proving what most snail owners would already swear to - that they are far more intelligent than modern science would suggest, and in particular, snails have a memory. Throughout the experiment, she is beset with challenges, which she overcomes with a positive outlook, and it becomes amazing, even to those few of us who are so fond of our gastropods, that such a tiny, seemingly unimportant creature as the snail could be the catalyst that so profoundly changed her outlook on herself, and her place in Nature. That all lives are of significance. For mollusc lovers, this book is the Holy Grail of Snail Tomes. It was also very much uplifting, the sort of thing that restores one's faith in humanity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-ABCs-of-Oklahoma-Plants-Audiobook/B00HZ0G5FW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As we encroach on the wild and a vast wave of extinctions gathers force, how has our relationship to animals changed? In this dazzling piece of reportage, Anna Krien investigates the contemporary animal kingdom and our place in it. From pets to food, from wildness to science experiments, Krien also reveals how animals are faring in this new world order. Examples range from the joyful to the deeply unsettling. As Krien delves deeper, she finds that animals can trigger primal emotions in us, which we are often not willing to acknowledge. "Us and Them" is a clear-eyed look at how we do - and should - treat animals, and an original look at everything from animal lawyers to Indonesian abattoirs.

Members Reviews: Fantastic I listened to this after reading Krien's fantastic book on the contentious politics of forestry and protest in Tasmania. I just think she's awesome. She is not afraid to interrogate her own position in relation to her extremely difficult material. She bravely inserts herself into difficult scenarios and watches and listens, asking the questions that we want to ask - she is questioning, curious, uncertain - she has the truthful chime of a child. She somehow manages to make even statistics engaging. She has a few idiosyncratic pronunciations which annoyed my husband, but I found her utterly adorable. I hope my daughters grow up to be Anna Krien. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Sounds-of-the-Deep-Audiobook/B0036GMIEG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It helped to open up my eyes about the simplicity of life and how easy it is to actually to live a purposeful happy life, just by following the DICE rule. The Dice chapter literally blew my mind. I gave it to my 13 year old daughter to read, as she was going through depression and she loves the book too. I have noticed some changes in her behavior and she even made her version of the Dice and every day she checks off what she has accomplished. I recommend this book to anyone feeling a bit lost or battling depression. Every teenager should read it also. It does make a difference and motivates you to strive for your own best. The best part, the book is very compact, under 150 pages with a large print, but with a lot of detailed knowledge. 5 stars from me. Great easy read SUch a true statement to order in life.

Richard's story is entertaining, eye-opening, and inspiring- to say the least. His problem solving methods proved extremely effective, while wasting no time. Tips for the aspiring environmentalist are clearly defined, while the book makes complex processes regarding pollution very understandable. His story proves that anything can be accomplished when you act upon your passion. A must-read for any human being. Global Env Health matters.. read this. Let me preface this review by saying I'm familiar with Blacksmith and Rich Fuller's work even before I bought this book. I thought I knew this guy but the book revealed a fascinating side to him. Needless to say, he's on a mission and this book clearly lays out the reasons why. A good fast read and especially recommended for those interested in global environmental health issues with up to date stories and case studies. (Professor JC) Informative and Inspiring! This is a GREAT book and Richard Fuller is a great man. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel inspired and empowered to take on difficult challenges. Richard shows us howâ The book is extremely well-written -- it reveals the alarming condition of the world while uplifting the reader by showing the huge impact each of us can have. Read it and be inspired!! Pollution - the Biggest Killer Today The book is a passionate and powerful account of a major - and under-recognized - environmental and public health problem. It both lays out the issue and suggests practical solutions. I hope it reaches a wide audience. (Full disclosure: the author is a dear friend). Important work explained in an compelling story This common sense approach to solving the problems of pollution is important for everyone to read. This is a great example of a pragmatic and systematic approach to improving the world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Kathryn-Miles-Quakeland-Audiobook/B07817MZQC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Start Publishing Notes Summary, Analysis, and Review of Kathryn Miles Quakeland includes a summary of the book, a review, analysis and key takeaways, and a detailed "about the author" section. Preview: Kathryn Miles' Quakeland: On the Road to Americas Next Devastating Earthquake is a popular science book about earthquake science. It focuses on earthquake dangers in the United States and how to prepare for and reduce harm from quakes. As of 2017, the United States has not had a major earthquake since 1989, and between 1967 and 2017 earthquakes killed only 150 people. However, earthquakes are a serious potential danger, in part because so little is known about them. Because earthquakes are unpredictable, seismologists are rarely able to set up equipment to study them in real time. Earthquakes are difficult to prepare for, since no one is sure when and where they will strike. The science of earthquake prediction remains very weak. Scientists do know that quakes are likely near faults - cracks in the earth that allow movement. But mapping faults is difficult, and there are undoubtedly many faults in the United States of which geologists are unaware. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Start Publishing Notes) Tue, 12 Dec 2017 00:19:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Summary-Analysis-and-Review-of-Kathryn-Miles-Quakeland-Audiobook/B07817MZQC thebookvoice.com 00:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Start Publishing Notes Summary, Analysis, and Review of Kathryn Miles Quakeland includes a summary of the book, a review, analysis and key takeaways, and a detailed "about the author" section. Preview: Kathryn Miles' Quakeland: On the Road to Americas Next Devastating Earthquake is a popular science book about earthquake science. It focuses on earthquake dangers in the United States and how to prepare for and reduce harm from quakes. As of 2017, the United States has not had a major earthquake since 1989, and between 1967 and 2017 earthquakes killed only 150 people. However, earthquakes are a serious potential danger, in part because so little is known about them. Because earthquakes are unpredictable, seismologists are rarely able to set up equipment to study them in real time. Earthquakes are difficult to prepare for, since no one is sure when and where they will strike. The science of earthquake prediction remains very weak. Scientists do know that quakes are likely near faults - cracks in the earth that allow movement. But mapping faults is difficult, and there are undoubtedly many faults in the United States of which geologists are unaware.

Prigogine, tra gli iniziatori della scienza della complessità, noto per le sue teorie sulle strutture dissipative, i sistemi complessi e l'irreversibilità, ha proposto una nuova e radicale visione del mondo riformulando il secondo principio della termodinamica: ogni processo naturale è irreversibile e tende ad aumentare la sua entropia (e quella dell'ambiente in cui si trova). Tuttavia in natura esistono organismi viventi in grado di auto-organizzarsi diminuendo la propria entropia a discapito dell'ambiente, vincolati a un maggior o minor disordine entropico. A partire da queste considerazioni, una nuova immagine della natura emerge dalla sua ricerca scientifica: non più quella di una macchina destinata a ripetere meccanicamente leggi prefissate, ma quella di un racconto creativo e imprevedibile aperto a ogni fluttuazione, un racconto che si inventa in ogni istante in completa libertà.

In the last three decades of the 19th century, an American buffalo herd once numbering 30 million animals was reduced to twelve. In an era that treated the West as nothing more than a treasure chest of resources to be dug up and shot down, the buffalo was a commodity, hounded by hide hunters seeking to make their fortunes. Supporting them was the US Army, which considered the eradication of the buffalo essential to victory in its ongoing war on Native Americans. Into this maelstrom rode young George Bird Grinnell.

Members Reviews: Survival of the bison is only part of the story Very interesting biography of George Bird Grinnell and his role in saving Yellowstone National Park from complete decimation by hide and trophy head hunters, railroads, and souvenir-hunting tourists. It took a decades-long fight through his magazine, influential (rich!) friends, and lobbying in Congress to do it, but he persisted until he was successful. After winning his Yellowstone battles, Grinnell didn't ride off into the sunset, but began another fight to preserve what is today Glacier National Park. He should be known to every American school child, but had been largely forgotten until the recent celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Grinnell was an amazingly gifted and talented writer, but this book is only part of his story. Not detailed in the book is Grinnell's years of correspondence with many former Indian warriors, including George Bent, son of fur trader William Ben and his Cheyenne wife and survivor of the Sand Creek Massacre. While John Wesley Powell's Bureau of Ethnology concentrated on collecting physical artifacts, photographs, and Indian languages, Grinnell was documenting late 19th century Native Americans' views of their own oral history, culture, and wars against encroaching American civilization. Today it would be hard to say which of these efforts are more valuable to the study of the history of the American West. The American buffalo, invasion of native lands and mindless profiteering by the early settlers Michael Punke has done a wonderful job telling readers how the thundering herds of magnificent buffalo have disappeared and the senseless greed that drove this genocide of a species. He has given details of the way "hunting" was done of this docile creature and how this business was first considered an adventure and food source then became a way to make money then turned into an industry regardless of the obvious impact on the survival of the species. On this path, colossal waste also took place of unwanted carcasses left to rot in the open plains. How the excess meat lying around created a boom in the birth rate of wolves which in turn were also slaughtered because they came in the way of the white man. Punke also describes the brave and tireless efforts of early ecologists and wild life advocates who alone are responsible for the miniscule few buffalo we see today. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/La-vida-II-Audiobook/B00QL2PN3U Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> Título: La vida II Autor: Juan Romay Narrador: Ramón Fernández de Castro Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 13 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 12-05-14 Editor: Audiomol Categorías: Science & Technology, Environment Resumen del editor: La Tierra, un planeta lleno de vida.

Title: The Human Age Subtitle: The World Shaped by Us Author: Diane Ackerman Narrator: Barbara Caruso Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-14 Publisher: Headline Digital Genres: Science & Technology, Environment Publisher's Summary: A beautifully written, insightful and urgent enquiry into man's relationship with nature and our impact on the planet. Our relationship with nature has changed...radically, irreversibly, but by no means all for the bad. Our new epoch is laced with invention. Our mistakes are legion, but our talent is immeasurable. In The Human Age, award-winning nature writer Diane Ackerman confronts the fact that the human race is now the single dominant force of change on the planet. Humans have 'subdued 75 percent of the land surface, concocted a wizardry of industrial and medical marvels, strung lights all across the darkness'. We now collect the DNA of vanishing species in a 'frozen ark', equip orangutans with iPads, create wearable technologies and synthetic species that might one day outsmart us. Ackerman takes us on an exciting journey to understand this bewildering new reality, introducing us to many of the people and ideas now creating - perhaps saving - the future. The Human Age is a surprising, optimistic engagement with the dramatic transformations that have shaped and continue to alter our world, our relationship with nature and our prospects for the future. Diane Ackerman is one of our most lyrical, insightful and compelling writers on the natural world, and The Human Age is a landmark book. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Diane Ackerman) Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:32:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/The-Human-Age-Audiobook/B00NJ3VFQ8 thebookvoice.com 12:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The treatment of the roots of humanity's current abilities to change how the world functions was very good. The treatment of fut "Food for thought" is an understatement. The treatment of the roots of humanity's current abilities to change how the world functions was very good. The treatment of future possibilities was not as interesting to me. I really agreed with the concept that the availability of resources and a peaceful atmosphere can influence not only people who live through peace or chaos, but can influence their children, too. I was teaching Jr. High when the kids whose pregnant mothers lived through the Sputnik scare. Those children were difficult to handle, as are the children who were gestating during 9/11 time and are now in seventh grade. On the whole, I would recommend this book. I like Diane Ackerman's other books but this was not very ... I like Diane Ackerman's other books but this was not very good. The chapters are repetitive and not very interesting the usual lyrical turn of phrases are strained. easy to read and a keeper As usual, Diane Ackerman has written a book that is informative, easy to read and a keeper. She offers us hope and gives examples of how people around the world are working to save our planet. Unfortunately, we in North American have to search to find this kind of information, when in fact, it should be a daily news item. We need hope and courage to face and deal with the new age that is certainly here. Well done Ms. Ackerman. hope & thought provoking i'm a diane devotee and this book does not disappoint! her imaginative adjectives poetically lead the reader down an adventurous path of learning. Lyrical metaphors paint a brilliant picture of life in the anthropocene era, The Human Age. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Marvels-in-the-Muck-Audiobook/B00FZ352SC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An okay read I really enjoy the Matter stories and was looking forward to this one since I'm interested in green initiatives and conservation. The story started off well and there was some good information but it just ended very abruptly without a smooth ending, imho. Still, I'm really glad the Matter series is going strong. excellent article I thought I was up to speed with the problems associated with the Natural Gas Boom. But this article revealed a huge problem that I didn't know about. It's a good read. Is green a better alternative? Does natural gas less dangerous than the alternative? - Maybe not. == Summary == Bob Ackley travels across America looking for gas leaks and, lo and behold, he has found way too many. This is an investigation on his findings, its implications, his history and trustworthiness. Phil McKenna does a good work on unveiling the green alternative and how companies might be covering up fatal and dangerous gas leaks across America. == Pros == * Very interesting murder story * Based on a true story * Do you believe the FSB (former KGB) is not operative anymore? Rethink your beliefs. * Have an insight on Russia and the fall of the USSR == Cons == * I found it somewhat boring, but this is a subject I personally don't like much so it might be due to my lack of interest on this subject == Conclusion == * If you like green alternatives or is pro natural gas, read it * If you are intrigued by how much gas can leak throughout America, read it * If you want to read about how Bob Ackley had found so many leaks and what the gas companies tell about it, read it * If you don't like biographies or investigative journalism this book is not for you Great read - raises a lot of questions about natural gas This is a great article from what seems to be a new publisher trying to make long form, high quality journalism sustainable. So there are two great things worth checking out here if you like to better understand the world. It's a good story showing how real people are doing boots on the ground work to fact check everyone's assumption that natural gas is clean. This isn't a piece about the dangers of exotic new fracking techniques. It's a piece about the world underneath our cities that hasn't changed in decades and isn't as crisp, clean and green as you might imagine. Beantown Leaks Gas! If you have an opinion on the coal vs gas debate for future fuels in the US, you need to read this article. Leaking natural gas is an environmental issue that has received little attention, but has the potential to significantly impact the fuel debate. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Idee-per-una-vita-ecologica-Ideas-for-an-Ecological-Life-Audiobook/B009NNPAPK Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> Titolo: Idee per una vita ecologica [Ideas for an Ecological Life] Autore: Eduardo Zarelli Narratore: Valentina Palmieri Formato: Unabridged Durata: 58 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 10-10-12 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Science & Technology, Environment Riepilogo Editore: Un breve saggio, chiaro e semplice, per comprendere le ragioni individuali, sociali e spirituali che ci portano a scegliere la via ecologica e il ritorno alla natura.

The benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil price fell to $34.53 a barrel on December 18, lower than its been since before the financial crash of 2008, with no floor in sight. Goldman Sachs has predicted that oil could fall as low as $20 a barrel, a development that would cripple most oil-producing economies and have geopolitical ripple effects for years to come. At the same time, the price of natural gas remains near historic lows. Cheap oil and natural gas are conventionally thought to be negative influences on the adoption of renewable energy, lessening the incentives of businesses and consumers to give up fossil fuels.

At the same time, the price of natural gas remains near historic lows. Cheap oil and natural gas are conventionally thought to be negative influences on the adoption of renewable energy, lessening the incentives of businesses and consumers to give up fossil fuels. But that doesnt seem to have slowed the shift away from fossil fuels in 2015. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Science-Technology/Newly-Identified-Brain-Circuit-Could-Be-a-Target-for-Controlling-Obesity-Audiobook/B00RI0YE8Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/795/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Frank Abagnale Jr., however, was hardly a typical con artist. Cunning and charismatic, Abagnale forged checks, diplomas, and transcripts en route to assuming at least eight identities and posing as a pilot, a lawyer, and a doctorall before his nineteenth birthday. Although he eventually was caught and sentenced to 12 years in a federal prison for his cons, he served less than five years before the U.S. government recruited him to fight the very types of crimes that he had perpetrated so successfully himself.

Title: Views on Bias Can Be Biased Author: Bethany Brookshire Narrator: Mark Moran Format: Unabridged Length: 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-15 Publisher: Science News Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio Publisher's Summary: The scientific method is supposed to be objective. A scientist comes up with a hypothesis for how they think something works. Rigorous testing takes place. The scientist looks at the resulting data and determines whether the original idea was right or wrong. But that doesnt mean that science is bias-free. After all, science is an endeavor performed by scientists - people who come with their own beliefs and biases that influence how they see the world. A new study of gender bias in academic research puts the lens not on that bias, but instead on the interpretation of studies of it.
