Author: Alfonso Martinez Arias
Narrator: Gareth Armstrong
What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage-stretching back to the very first cell-and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future-as individuals and as a species.

Free Download The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CLHHCVS1 | 2024 | 14 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 427 MB
Author: Edward F. O'Keefe
Narrator: Edward F. O'Keefe
A spirited and poignant family love story, revealing how an icon of rugged American masculinity was profoundly shaped by the women in his life, especially his mother, sisters, and wives. Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his senior thesis for Harvard in 1880 that women ought to be paid equal to men and have the option of keeping their maiden names upon marriage. It's little surprise he'd be a feminist, given the women he grew up with. His mother, Mittie, was witty and decisive, a Southern belle raising four young children in New York while her husband spent long stretches away with the Union Army. Theodore's college sweetheart and first wife, Alice-so vivacious she was known as Sunshine-steered her beau away from science (he'd roam campus with taxidermy specimen in his pockets) and towards politics.

Free Download The Longevity Imperative: How to Build a Healthier and More Productive Society to Support Our Longer Lives (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CFCJVSWB | 2024 | 10 hours and 50 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 312 MB
Author: Andrew J. Scott
Narrator: Michael Chance
From a leading expert on longevity, an urgent call for individuals, institutions, and society to adapt to the reality of living longer lives. Thanks to increases in life expectancy, we can now expect to live for a long time. Most of us would welcome an extra day in the week, so why do so many of us view the prospect of additional years with fear and skepticism? The reason is simple: society is not currently structured to support long lives. Rather than thinking in terms of the needs of a rising number of older people, we must instead support the young and middle-aged to prepare differently for the longer futures they can expect. The Longevity Imperative outlines the innovations needed to make the most of these longer lives: substantial changes to our health system, economy, and financial sector, as well as in how we manage our careers, health, finances, and relationships. Instead of seeing longevity as a problem, economist Andrew J. Scott challenges us to view it as an opportunity. This book charts a course to address the individual, social, political, economic, and cultural changes required so that all of us-regardless of age-can live lives that are not just longer but healthier, happier, and more productive.

Free Download The Logic of Scientific Discovery (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D2FBT9CL | 2024 | 10 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 302 MB
Author: Karl Popper
Narrator: David Pickering
Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the demarcation problem, or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability - that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation - against the prevailing views of his day. Now widely considered among the most important books in the history of philosophy of science, The Logic of Scientific Discovery remains essential listening for scholars, scientists, and anyone interested in what makes science, science.

Free Download The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CGRYFTKY | 2024 | 9 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 262 MB
Author: Frank Abe, Floyd Cheung
Narrator: Frank Abe, Keone Young, Ren Hanami, Traci Kato-Kiriyama, Greg Watanabe
The collective voice of Japanese Americans defined by a specific moment in time: the four years of World War II during which the US government expelled resident aliens and its own citizens from their homes and imprisoned 125,000 of them in American concentration camps, based solely upon the race they shared with a wartime enemy. This anthology presents a new vision that recovers and reframes the literature produced by the people targeted by the actions of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress to deny Americans of Japanese ancestry any individual hearings or other due process after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.

Free Download The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CJWQ6X99 | 2024 | 10 hours and 56 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 301 MB
Author: Zoë Schlanger
Narrator: Zoë Schlanger
Award-winning Atlantic staff writer Zoë Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science that probes the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us. It takes tremendous biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and thrive while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted ingenious methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their kin and behave socially, hear sounds, morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.
