The Ward , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min

Set in a futuristic New York City after a catastrophic flood called the Wash Out, The Ward is the story of 16-year-old Renata Dane, a daredevil champion racer who will risk everything she has to take care of her sick foster sister, Aven. Ren's sister is suffering from the Blight, an incurable, deadly illness thought to be caused by years of pollution. The disease is ripping through the Ward - formerly known as downtown Manhattan - and since the region is home to the poor and the vagrant, little is being done to help the sick. But when the Blight somehow spreads to the affluent Upper Islets, the government recruits Ren for a secret mission: To search for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a cure. She is the only girl in the Ward to master helming a mobile - a car that can defy gravity and drive up the walls of a skyscraper, or transform into a high-speed boat at the push of a few buttons. However, when Ren accepts this job - and the big paycheck that comes with it - she never expects that it will lead her to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist, a web of deceit and lies, and a confounding mystery that's lurking deep beneath the water's rippling surface. Cinematic and thrilling, The Ward is Jordana Frankel's debut novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Merritt Hicks.

Insulin Resistance Diet for Beginners: The Dependable Guide on How to Lose Excess Weight, Control Sugar Level and Prevent Diabetes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min

There are millions of people suffering from insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone which is manufactured by the beta cells of the pancreas. These cells are scattered all over the pancreas in small clusters referred to as the islets of Langerhans. The insulin produced is launched into the blood stream and travels throughout the body. Insulin is a vital hormone that has many functions in the body.Many activities of insulin are related to metabolism of carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids, and proteins. Insulin also regulates the performance of the body cells, which includes their growth. Insulin is essential for the body's use of glucose as strength.With insulin resistance, the pancreas produces an increasing amount of insulin until the pancreas can no longer produce sufficient insulin for the body's needs and then blood sugar rises. Insulin resistance is a bad risk condition for development of heart disease and diabetes.Not to worry, insulin resistance can be reduced and entirely reversed by making changes to your lifestyle. This audiobook will show you everything you need to know about insulin resistance. You will also learn about food that you should eat or avoid.

Disease Ecology

This book provides the first collection of chapters written by scientists who have contributed to the understanding of disease ecology in the Galapagos Islands, an iconic and historic natural site. The Galapagos Archipelago straddles the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean, almost 1000 km off the coast of Ecuador, and includes 13 major islands, numerous smaller satellite islands, and many more even smaller islets. The wildlife on the Galapagos Islands today represents one of the best-preserved wild communities of plants and animals in the world, owing to the location of the islands at the intersection of major ocean currents, the commitment by Ecuador for the vast majority of the area to be left undeveloped, and the protection provided by the Galapagos National Park. Most of the animal species in Galapagos are endemic, occurring nowhere else. But they are descendants of ancestors that colonized earlier, and then, isolated from their mainland origins, evolved into forms that are recognized as distinct today. Since 2001, many of the authors of this book have been part of a four-institution partnership investigating the threats posed by pathogens to Galapagos avifauna. They approach the topic of disease ecology in a novel manner, starting with the history of arrival of both the birds themselves and the pathogens. This synthetic approach requires the integration of themes from veterinary medicine, epidemiology, population genetics, and phylogenetics.
