Sulla base delle più recenti scoperte scientifiche, illustrate mediante osservazioni ed esperienze personali con gli animali, l’appassionato guardaboschi Peter Wohlleben ci accompagna in un mondo pressoché inesplorato: quello degli straordinari comportamenti e delle emozioni degli animali domestici, del bosco e della fattoria.

Nuova Saggezza

La vita segreta degli animali

Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita.Per questo rimaniamo indifferenti, o paralizzati: la stessa reazione che suscitò Jan Karski, il "testimone inascoltato", quando cercò di svelare l'orrore dell'Olocausto e non fu creduto. In tempo di guerra, veniva chiesto ai cittadini di contribuire allo sforzo bellico: ma qual è il confine tra rinuncia e sacrificio, quando in gioco c'è la nostra sopravvivenza, o la sopravvivenza dei nostri figli? E quali sono le rinunce necessarie, adesso, per salvare un mondo ormai trasformato in una immensa fattoria a cielo aperto?Nel suo nuovo audiolibro, Jonathan Safran Foer mette in campo tutte le sue risorse di scrittore per raccontare, con straordinario impatto emotivo, la crisi climatica che è anche "crisi della nostra capacità di credere", mescolando in modo originalissimo storie di famiglia, ricordi personali, episodi biblici, dati scientifici rigorosi e suggestioni futuristiche. Un audiolibro unico, che parte dalla volontà di "convincere degli sconosciuti a fare qualcosa" e termina con un messaggio rivolto ai figli, ai quali ciascun genitore - non solo a parole, ma con le proprie scelte - spera di riuscire a insegnare "la differenza tra correre verso la morte, correre per sfuggire alla morte e correre verso la vita".

Possiamo salvare il mondo, prima di cena

Jonathan Safran Foer, da piccolo, trascorreva il sabato e la domenica con sua nonna. Quando arrivava, lei lo sollevava per aria stringendolo in un forte abbraccio, e lo stesso faceva quando andava via. Ma non era solo affetto, il suo: dietro c’era la preoccupazione costante di sapere che il nipote avesse mangiato a sufficienza. La preoccupazione di chi è quasi morto di fame durante la guerra, ma è stato capace di rifiutare della carne di maiale che l’avrebbe tenuto in vita, perché non era cibo kosher, perché «se niente importa, non c’è niente da salvare». Il cibo per lei non è solo cibo, è «terrore, dignità, gratitudine, vendetta, gioia, umiliazione, religione, storia e, ovviamente, amore». Una volta diventato padre, Foer ripensa a questo insegnamento e inizia a interrogarsi su cosa sia la carne, perché nutrire suo figlio non è come nutrire se stesso, è più importante. Questo libro è il frutto di un’indagine durata quasi tre anni che l’ha portato negli allevamenti intensivi, visitati anche nel cuore della notte, che l’ha spinto a raccontare le violenze sugli animali e i venefici trattamenti a base di farmaci che devono subire, a descrivere come vengono uccisi per diventare il nostro cibo quotidiano. In un libro che è insieme racconto, inchiesta e testimonianza, Foer invita tutti alla riflessione, indicando nel dolore degli animali – e soprattutto nella nostra sensibilità verso chi è «inerme» e «senza voce» – il discrimine fra umano e inumano, fra chi accetta senza discutere le condizioni imposte dall’allevamento industriale e chi le mette in discussione.

Se niente importa

In "Camminare" sono presenti quasi tutti gli scritti di Hermann Hesse sul tema della viandanza e sulla particolare dimensione del viaggiare a piedi. Sono articoli e saggi scritti per riviste e quotidiani del tempo, integrati da una raccolta originale dell’autore, "Vagabondaggio" (1920), in cui Hesse anticipa alcuni dei temi principali che saranno successivamente affrontati nelle sue opere maggiori, non ultimo Siddartha. Il camminare è infatti tema chiave nelle opere di Hesse, la metafora ideale per illustrare la ricerca di un senso ulteriore e più alto del vivere, anche a costo della solitudine e dell’abbandono. In questi scritti l’incontro con la natura diviene incontro con l’anima, il camminare diviene ricerca della parte più ancestrale e al contempo spirituale dell’essere umano. L’andare nella natura, il camminare nei boschi e tra le montagne diviene così la chiave per avvicinarsi e rivelare a se stessi l’io interiore, la parte più autentica dell’essere umano. Lo stile di Hesse, coinvolgente e passionale, riflette in modo esemplare la tensione emotiva genuinamente avvertita dallo scrittore, restituendoci un insieme di suggestioni ricche di struggente bellezza e semplicità.

Sherer’s HUNGER HIJACK is a no-bulls&*#! manifesto on the dumpster fire that is America’s health system, serving up some tough love about the garbage we’re spoon-feeding ourselves. Patrick “Sarge” Avon, author of Boot Camp and founder of Sarge Athletics In this enlightening book, Dr. David Sherer provides compelling evidence for a paradigm shift on how we understand the complex interplay between hypothalamic inflammation and the hormones of hunger and fullness. Ronald Kotler MD FACP FCCP FAASM Professor of Clinical Medicine of the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania Preventable diseases are skyrocketing. One in three Americans is prediabetic. Even our brains are changing. Here’s the science: New evidence shows that foods high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and sugar are causing hypothalamic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, disrupting the normal function of the hunger and fullness hormones, ghrelin, and leptin. What does that mean? We’re making ourselves and our kids sick. We are chronically ill, overweight, seriously damaged people. HUNGER HIJACK is a blunt, pull-no-punches book by physician, author, and journalist Dr. David Sherer. In it, he reveals the evidence linking our diets and our ever-worsening health, including: --what kind of “food” raises your risk for serious chronic disease --the high economic cost and negative environmental impact of ultra-processed food (UPF) --how plastics are affecting health worldwide --the national defense implications of overweight/obesity --the imminent perfect storm of deteriorating health and the physician and nursing shortages David Sherer, M.D. is the author of bestsellers WHAT YOUR DOCTOR WON’T TELL YOU and HOSPITAL SURVIVAL GUIDE and a recognized expert in healthy and medicine safety. Since retiring from his clinical anesthesiology practice, he has devoted his writing and advocacy to patient education.

Book Series: "Increasing Productivity of Software Development": In software development, productivity is a measure of how much functionality can be developed in a given time and in compliance with specified quality criteria. If an increase in productivity succeeds, this increases the scope of the developed functionality and reduces the required time. Both features are desirable because software is the stuff innovations are made of. IT has changed almost all areas of life thanks to fundamental innovations. Our future will be dominated by virtualization and smart helpers, that is, devices equipped with intelligence. This makes software development a key competence. Today, for companies that develop software, productivity as well as time and quality, are critical success factors. By introducing standards and automation, productivity in software development has been demonstrably increased by a factor of 20. The reutilization of functional and technical components has already enabled measurements of a factor of 100. Such performance differences are only reproducible by measurements and the consistent use of measurement results within a management model designed for continuous optimization. Part 2: Management Model, Cost Estimation and KPI Improvement: This book describes a model based on three key performance indicators: productivity (measured using the measurement methods described in the first book), cost and quality. It explains their cyclical collection, analytical evaluation and indicators that lead to improvement measures in important areas of influence. In order to be able to assess the benefits of the measures in advance, it provides empirical values as well as a method for calculating their effectiveness. The model described above serves as a navigation tool for the management, enabling them to constantly view both direction and speed of its key performance indicators.

In the 70’s Shizuto Masunaga Sensei, creator of Keiraku shiatsu (meridian shiatsu), delivered four-week correspondence courses providing students with his own purpose-written material. We saw these course books during a visit to the Iokai Shiatsu Centre in Tokyo and given their valuable content decided to translate and publish them. Other than their historical interest, we believe the four volumes (this is the second) will be extremely helpful to shiatsu students, practitioners and teachers alike. The extensive topics covered in the four manuals range from the history of shiatsu, the Japanese legislature on the subject, how to execute pressure and the rules to follow, basic techniques, exercises for he alth, shiatsu as first aid, clinical shiatsu, shiatsu for children and aesthetics.

This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability. A Country of Shepherds is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the Spanish government’s recent work with UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the Iberian Peninsula as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Demonstrating the critical role of tradition, cultural geographies, and sustainability in the Mediterranean, this book will appeal to academicians but also to general readers who seek to understand, in very human terms, the impact of the world-wide environmental crisis we are now experiencing.

In "Radio-Active Substances," Marie Curie delves into the groundbreaking research surrounding radioactivity, a term she famously coined. The book presents a methodical exploration of the properties and behavior of radioactive elements, enhanced by Curie's meticulous scientific observations and experiments. Her writing is characterized by clarity and precision, embodying a blend of personal narrative and rigorous scientific inquiry. Within the broader context of early 20th-century science, Curie's work represents a pivotal moment in the understanding of atomic theory and its implications for both medicine and physics, making profound contributions to the nascent field of radiology. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry), was driven by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to scientific discovery. Her pioneering work on radioactivity stemmed from a desire to comprehend the nature of matter and its potential applications for humanity. Her experiences navigating the male-dominated scientific community of her time have fueled her resolve to elevate the role of female scientists and contribute significantly to societal progress. I highly recommend "Radio-Active Substances" not only to those interested in the history of science but also to readers who appreciate the intricate dance between determination and discovery. Curie's profound insights continue to resonate, urging modern scientists and inquisitive minds alike to explore the mysteries of the universe with both rigor and passion.

Is the Brexit vote successful big data politics or the end of democracy? Why do airlines overbook, and why do banks get it wrong so often? How does big data enable Netflix to forecast a hit, CERN to find the Higgs boson and medics to discover if red wine really is good for you? And how are companies using big data to benefit from smart meters, use advertising that spies on you and develop the gig economy, where workers are managed by the whim of an algorithm? The volumes of data we now access can give unparalleled abilities to make predictions, respond to customer demand and solve problems. But Big Brother's shadow hovers over it. Though big data can set us free and enhance our lives, it has the potential to create an underclass and a totalitarian state. With big data ever-present, you can't afford to ignore it. Acclaimed science writer Brian Clegg - a habitual early adopter of new technology (and the owner of the second-ever copy of Windows in the UK) - brings big data to life.

Sharing her experiences as a life coach and recovering perfectionist, Caroline Garnet McGraw shows us how we can free ourselves from the weight of expectations and encourages us to move our lives forward without apology. Inspired by her viral essay You Don't Owe Anyone an Interaction, this book invites us to make surprising choices that can help us get unstuck. Rather than offering more ways to effect change through sheer effort, these personal stories serve as a compassionate witness, a reflection of our own perfectionistic tendencies. They also are a wakeup call jolting us out of our martyr mentality and inspiring us to move in new, positive directions. Through simple, accessible coaching practices, You Don't Owe Anyone shows us what it looks like to refuse to over-function in the old ways. It invites us to make the same surprising choices that have helped McGraw and her clients move past perfectionism, empowering us to quiet our fears and heal our hearts.

Quantum Mechanics is a strange but fundamental part of modern physics and we see the results of this theory with technology used in our daily lives. Quantum effects may also help to explain our consciousness and spiritual (paranormal) abilities. Quantum effects also lead to some very strange phenomena which seem impossible at first glance. Some of the main subjects discussed here include: •	Quantum Teleportation •	Quantum Computing •	Quantum Gravity •	Quantum Consciousness •	Our Consciousness wave function •	The Multiverse I also use the experiential knowledge from my prophecies and the research I’ve done on the paranormal to show potential links to quantum effects. The human ability to teleport psychically is one possible connection. There seems to be a coordination between quantum effects and spiritual abilities as described in the Yoga Sutras on Patanjali. Near the end of the book I make an effort to link quantum phenomena and consciousness together.

Introducing Artificial Intelligence

An iconoclast and best-selling author of both nonfiction and fiction, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has spent a lifetime observing, thinking, and writing about the cultures of animals such as lions, wolves, dogs, deer, and humans. In this engrossing book, she provides a plainspoken, big-picture look at the commonality of life on our planet, from the littlest microbes to the largest lizards. Inspired by the idea of symbiosis in evolution—that all living things evolve in a series of cooperative relationships—Thomas leads listeners on a journey through the progression of life. Along the way she shares the universal likenesses, experiences, and environments of “Gaia’s creatures,” from amoebas in plant soil to the pets we love, from proud primates to Homo sapiens hunter-gatherers on the African savanna. Fervently rejecting “anthropodenial,” the notion that nonhuman life does not share characteristics with humans, Thomas instead shows that paramecia can learn, plants can communicate, humans aren’t really as special as we think we are—and that it doesn’t take a scientist to marvel at the smallest inhabitants of the natural world and their connections to all living things. A unique voice on anthropology and animal behavior, Thomas challenges scientific convention and the jargon that prevents us all from understanding all living things better. Narrated by Thomas, this joyful book is a fascinating look at the challenges and behaviors shared by creatures from bacteria to larvae to parasitic fungi, a potted hyacinth to the author herself, and all those in between. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, an anthropologist and animal behaviorist, has published thirteen previous books, including the New York Times best seller "The Hidden Life of Dogs." She lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Learn more at elizabethmarshallthomas.net.

I am well aware that this booklet can appear as one of many in the multitude of publishing editions dedicated to Yoga and similar exercises. I hope that the reader, instead of just looking at the images and commenting “Ha!… I have seen this all before...” investigates further and starts to practise Do-In as part of his or her daily life. In the pictures illustrated in the booklet, I am 62 years old. I have been practicing the Yoga of Meridians for a long time, and have obtained signifi cant, physical and mental, benefi ts. The power of this discipline is that it successfully combines various oriental techniques. These are: • Classical Yoga Asanas, which stretch the muscles of the body • Biorhythm of the Qi using the Chinese clock of the Vital Energy • Meditation (a practice developed in many Asian cultures) as a way of contemplating the physic and psychic phenomenon of the body. The practice of Do-In creates a highly developed awareness on a physical and mental level, and without any doubt, frees the body from many pains. In developing our intuition, this protects us from existential fear and anxiety as well. The booklet alone, will encourage anyone to go deeper into the knowledge and application of these techniques, which are comprehensively demonstrated as part of the basic course of Shiatsu at the Te Hara School, located in Rovereto (TN) – Italy.

Tired Of Paying For Clicks That NEVER Seem To Convert? DiscoverThe Six Easy Steps To CPA Marketing That Can Put Thousands Of Dollars Into Your Pocket Each Month! PPC advertising has been around for a while now and has established itself as the primary model for advertising on the web. Of course, PPC advertising is 'Pay Per Click' advertising, which basically means that you only pay as an advertiser when someone actually clicks on your ad. This is different from paying for a fixed spot in a magazine or on a website because you only pay when your ad generates views. For the advertiser, this is a very good deal because it essentially means that you only pay when you are successful. An advert that sits on a website not attracting any clicks will actually cost you nothing and you will thus be able to ensure that you get a very high ROI (return on investment). This is even more true if you use CPA advertising, which is in many ways the natural evolution of PPC. CPA essentially stands for 'Cost Per Action' or 'Cost Per Acquisition' and in this sense, you only pay when your advert is actually successful in doing what it is setting out to do. You only pay for an ad that converts – giving you guaranteed returns on that investment. Well, in reality you will sometimes still pay per click but even then CPA gives you a figure for how much each action is costing you – allowing you to calculate your precise profit margin. This is the metric that every advertiser should be most interested in. Essentially, this is the point in which the ad becomes profitable and if you only pay for that then you have a situation where everyone is guaranteed to win. CPA is a relatively new form of PPC but it is one that is rapidly catching on for obvious reasons. If you want to evolve your current marketing campaign in a way that can only improve your ROI and if you want to get one step ahead of the competition, then this is something you should be learning. And if that's your plan, then you've come to the right place! This book will serve as your master-class in CPA marketing and will show you how to get set up, how to stack the cards in your favor and how to scale up your operation for gigantic profits. So buckle up and let's take a dive into the complex world of CPA marketing... Below are some of the information that you are about to learn: * The Basics of CPA Marketing * CPA Versus Other Forms of Marketing – Who is PPC For? * Choosing the Right CPA Network * Which Platform Should You Use? * Top Tips for Effective CPA Ads * The Importance of Tracking * Creating a Landing Page * How to Make Money With CPA * The CPA Success Formula
