Higher intake of ultra-processed foods has been associated with a laundry list of ailments. It makes sense that greater consumption would be associated with more dental cavities, thanks to their sugar, obesity, thanks to their concentration of calories, and an increased risk of high blood pressure, thanks to their salt, which is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events, like heart attacks and strokes. And, since cardiovascular diseases are our leading killers, it also makes sense that excess intake of ultra-processed foods could lead to increased overall mortality.

Rather than treating environmental problems as purely ...

Farmacy demands a food revolution. With our bodies ailing and our mental health straining, humanity needs a radically different way of eating and farming. Tracing a path from the health of the soil to the health of human beings, Farmacy highlights how food is the connecting agent between our mental, physical and planetary wellbeing.

What if meaning is not an illusion, but a missing dimension? Modern science describes the world with extraordinary precision, yet it struggles to account for one of the most influential forces shaping human behavior: meaning. Beliefs, intentions, symbols, and narratives guide perception, constrain action, and stabilize shared reality—yet they resist full explanation in terms of space, time, and energy alone.

Time Hop: The Wild Physics of Jumping Through Time takes readers on an exhilarating, accessible journey into one of science's most mind-bending frontiers: the physics of time travel.Have you ever wished you could rewind a bad day, fast-forward to see the future, or step through a portal to another era? This book explores the real science behind those dreams, starting with the basics of time as the flexible fourth dimension in Einstein's spacetime. You'll discover how gravity warps time—making clocks tick slower near black holes or even on mountain tops—and why GPS satellites must ...

Environmental Thought and Ecological Philosophy: Deep Explorations of Humanity’s Relationship with Nature BOOK 4: Crisis and Consciousness: Environmental Thought in the Age of Climate Change and Ecological Collapse is a deep, accessible exploration of how environmental philosophy confronts the defining crisis of the modern world. As climate change accelerates, ecosystems collapse, and planetary limits are breached, humanity faces not only scientific and political challenges, but profound ethical and philosophical questions. This book examines how environmental thought has evolved to ...

Is your map of reality incomplete? What if the unexplained isn’t chaos, but a system waiting to be seen? You’ve felt it - the shiver of a premonition, the pull of a forgotten place, a coincidence too sharp to be random. For too long, we’ve dismissed these flickers at the edge of perception as imagination or folklore. But what if they’re something more?

Good Food Institute founder and president Bruce Friedrich offers a hopeful and rigorously researched exploration of how science, policy, and industry can work together to satisfy the world’s soaring demand for meat, while building a healthier and more sustainable world.

This concise study guide delivers a focused, technical overview of asbestos control principles, covering the full lifecycle of asbestos work from identification through post-abatement conditions. It explains how asbestos behaves as a material, why it presents long-term health risks, and how those risks are controlled through engineered systems rather than judgment or appearance. The content is written for clarity and continuity, making it well suited for rapid review and audiobook listening. The guide explores core abatement operations including containment design, negative pressure airflow...

A groundbreaking exposé showing how the arts—alongside diet, sleep, exercise and nature—are the forgotten fifth pillar of health. This program is read by the author. From cradle to grave, engaging in the arts has remarkable effects on our health and well-being. Music supports the...

In 1884, a Victorian schoolmaster named Edwin Abbott published a slim satirical novel about a square living in a two-dimensional world—and accidentally handed humanity one of its most powerful tools for imagining the impossible. *Flatland* was written as social commentary, yet it became the unlikely gateway through which ordinary people could begin to grasp dimensions beyond their own perception. The fourth spatial dimension had lurked in mathematical abstractions for decades, but Abbott made it thinkable. What followed was an explosion of dimensional speculation that infected physics, ...

Demonstrating nature and nature inside of us with an insightful narrative and artist perspective from Donald Fillman MD.

What if Bigfoot is not a zoological mystery, but an anthropological one? For more than a century, reports of large, upright, human-like figures have emerged from forests across the world. They appear briefly, avoid contact, leave little evidence, and vanish before certainty can form. Popular culture has treated these accounts as entertainment, folklore, or hoax. Science has largely dismissed them for lack of proof. The Anthropology of Bigfoot takes a different approach. Rather than asking whether Bigfoot can be proven, this book asks whether the question itself has been misunderstood.

Liquefied petroleum gas systems operate under conditions that differ fundamentally from natural gas installations, beginning with on-site pressurized storage and extending through staged regulation, distribution piping, and final delivery. This guide provides a focused technical explanation of how LP gas behaves under pressure, how vaporization occurs within storage tanks, and how temperature and load influence system performance. The material emphasizes the physical realities that govern LP systems rather than abstract theory, creating a practical foundation for understanding propane ...

This focused study guide delivers a clear, structured overview of journeyman-level gasfitting concepts for both natural gas and liquefied petroleum systems.

For the past 17 years, the author, a PhD in life sciences, has studied the amino acid glycine and its effects on the human body. This research has made clear to him that due to the typical Western diet, virtually all Americans suffer from an insufficient level of glycine, and this has resulted in a misunderstanding by the medical community of the natural function of inflammation as a proper response to injury. Dr Brind has found that bodies in the glycine-deficient state typically develop inappropriate or excessive—and sometimes fatal—inflammation in response to a variety of physical or...

A Life of Coherence is a work of contemporary philosophy exploring how meaning forms in a fragmented modern world—without reducing life to ideology, certainty, or self-help formulas. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, contemplative traditions, and lived experience, Tai Sheridan introduces synthetic thinking: a way of holding complexity without fragmentation. The book examines how coherence forms when certainty is released and wholeness is allowed to remain unfinished. This is not a method to master or a system for improvement. It is an inquiry into how attention, memory, feeling, ...
