Free Download Sara Imari Walker (Author, Narrator), "Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence"
English | ASIN: B0CPTH99Q2 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:20:00 | 201 MB
An intriguing new scientific theory that explains what life is and how it emerges.
What is life? This is among the most difficult open problems in science, right up there with the nature of consciousness and the existence of matter. All the definitions we have fall short. None help us understand how life originates or the full range of possibilities for what life on other planets might look like.
In Life as No One Knows It, physicist and astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker argues that solving the origin of life requires radical new thinking and an experimentally testable theory for what life is. This is an urgent issue for efforts to make life from scratch in laboratories here on Earth and missions searching for life on other planets.

English | ASIN: B0DC73W79S | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:21:00 | 257 MB
The answers to life's biggest questions can be found by looking at the little things . . .
Though you may not be able to see them with the naked eye, parasites-miniscule life forms that live inside other organisms-inhabit our everyday lives. From headlice to bird droppings, litterboxes to unfiltered water, you have brushed up against the most common way of life on our planet.
In this unique book, John Janovy Jr., one of the world's preeminent experts on parasites, reveals what can humans learn from the most reviled yet misunderstood animals on Earth: lice, tapeworms, flukes, and maggots that can eat a lizard from the inside, and how these lessons help us negotiate our own complicated world. Whether we're learning to adapt to adverse conditions, accept our own limitations, or process new information in an ever-changing landscape-we can be sure a parasite did it first.

Free Download Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Debunking the False Narratives Defining America's School Curricula (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BHKSKC6R | 2024 | 9 hours and 28 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 261 MB
Author: Wilfred Reilly
Narrator: Mirron Willis
A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives-as wrong as those they supplanted-have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on "established" events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was. Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.

Free Download Lest: Australian War Myths (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CWPSVDKL | 2024 | 9 hours and 34 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 272 MB
Author: Mark Dapin
Narrator: Mark Dapin
From Simpson's donkey and the Emu War to Vietnam and Ben Roberts-Smith, Australian military history is full of events that didn't happen the way most people think they did. In his inimitable style, award-winning author Mark Dapin sets the record straight. Australia's war tales could be said to be the closest thing we have to sacred stories: ANZAC, Simpson and his donkey, Changi, the wronged diggers in Vietnam, Ben Roberts-Smith. Millions of dollars are spent enshrining these stories in the War Memorial in Canberra and the Australian National Memorial in France, amongst others. But did what we're celebrating actually happen? In this book, award-winning author and historian Mark Dapin shows that often the reality was completely different from the myth-and that by celebrating the wrong people, we often forget about the real heroes. With deep research and a sharp wit, Lest reclaims the truth about our military history.

Free Download Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CQ8SN3BV | 2024 | 11 hours and 42 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 335 MB
Author: Paul Collier
Narrator: Peter Noble
From the bestselling author, the fate of the poorest regions of the world-some of which exist in the richest nations-is examined. Using examples of the "left behind" regions, renowned development economist Paul Collier shows that centralized western economies have been the most ineffective to alleviate poverty-even if nationally the country seems to be growing. In Left Behind, Collier examines how the assumption that any impoverished area will find a way to progress through market forces has devastated nations all over the world. With keen insight, he draws lessons from such disparate fields as behavioral psychology, evolutionary biology, and moral philosophy to explain how we can adapt to the needs of individual economies in order to build a brighter and fairer global future.
