Along with sharing key soil health principles and restoration tools, For the Love of Soil provides land managers with an action plan to kick-start their soil resource’s well-being, no matter the scale.Praise for the book:“For years, many of us involved in regenerative agriculture have been touting the soil health - plant health - animal health - human health connection but no one has tied them all together like Nicole does in For the Love of Soil!"

The Longevity Seekers: Science, Business, and the Fountain of Youth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
People have searched for the fountain of youth everywhere from Bimini to St. Augustine. But for a steadfast group of scientists, the secret to a long life lies elsewhere: In the lowly lab worm. By suppressing the function of just a few key genes, these scientists were able to lengthen worms’ lifespans up to tenfold, while also controlling the onset of many of the physical problems that beset old age. As the global population ages, the potential impact of this discovery on society is vast - as is the potential for profit. With The Longevity Seekers, science writer Ted Anton takes listeners inside this tale that began with worms and branched out to snare innovative minds from California to Crete, investments from big biotech, and endorsements from TV personalities like Oprah and Dr. Oz. Some of the research was remarkable, such as the discovery of an enzyme in humans that stops cells from aging. And some, like an oft-cited study touting the compound resveratrol, found in red wine - proved highly controversial, igniting a science war over truth, credit, and potential profit. As the pace of discovery accelerated, so too did powerful personal rivalries and public fascination, driven by the hope that a longer, healthier life was right around the corner. Anton has spent years interviewing and working with the scientists at the frontier of longevity science, and this audiobook offers a behind-the-scenes look at the state-of-the-art research and the impact it might have on global public health, society, and even our friends and family. With spectacular science and an unforgettable cast of characters, The Longevity Seekers has all the elements of a great story and sheds light on discoveries that could fundamentally reshape human life. ungekürzt.

History for Kids: A Biography of Woodrow Wilson for Children , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. (Woodrow Wilson) In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. As one of the most influential men of the 20th century, there is no shortage of adjectives to use when describing Woodrow Wilson's two terms as president of the United States. Wilson was a pioneer of the Progressive movement both before and during his presidency, becoming a populist champion a generation before Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. He ran for reelection by touting his neutrality during World War I, only to lead his nation into the war and become the architect of a world body that would lead to greater inter-connection among nations. Today Wilson is best remembered for his Fourteen Points, one of the most forceful arguments for an idealistic foreign policy in American history, and his fight for the League of Nations, which set the model for today's United Nations. Wilson's presidency was monumentally consequential, but it is not without its critics, nor is the man himself. Even as Wilson has come to be viewed as one of America's greatest presidents, perception of Wilson and his administration as racist have also taken hold. Despite being one of the early 20th century's most forceful proponents of a globalized foreign policy, Wilson's personal views and comments were ardently anti-immigration, and Wilson's administration entrenched and expanded segregation in the federal government. Perhaps the greatest controversy over Wilson's presidency is the way in which it finished. Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919 that left him severely incapacitated, and he stayed out of both the public eye and even private eye for the remainder of his term. With his wife Edith k ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracey Norman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/097323/bk_acx0_097323_sample.mp3.

Ethereum: Ultimate Intermediate’s Guide to Learn and Understand Blockchain Technology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
Ethereum has been labeled the first “world computer”. It doesn’t exist as an actual physical machine, but rather as a virtual machine that people all over the world can connect to. By bringing blockchain technology into mainstream programming with a Turing-complete model, it is creating an entirely new paradigm of cybersecurity and even changing how we view the Internet. That’s great and all, but what exactly does it mean? There isn't a shortage of blogs and websites touting the glories of Ethereum, but finding good, solid information on what it actually is can be quite the challenge. The good news is that you have come to the right place. This second book in my series on Ethereum takes a lot of the tech jargon that you will find on forums and blogs and breaks it down in such a way that even a newbie to the world of programming can understand it. Here is a glimpse of what you will find inside: Chapter 1 will give you detailed insight into the advantages that Ethereum presents over traditional networking and programming models. It decentralizes the Internet through decentralized applications, or “dapps,” that are not connected to a main server but rather are connected to the main Ethereum blockchain. What is a blockchain, you may ask? This chapter answers that question, too. It also gives you some of the top-ranking dapps on Ethereum and what they are used for, with the intent of giving you an idea of how people are using the network. Chapter 2 will take a technical look at some of the under-the-hood workings of Ethereum. You don’t need to be intimidated by the term “technical,” because the terms that people assume you know, like “Ethereum Virtual Machine” and “Solidity Compiler” are broken down into manageable pieces of information that are easy to digest. ungekürzt.

The Art of Persistence: The Simple Secrets to Long-Term Success (Inspirational Books Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
Many people in life talk about wanting to achieve something. So many people have lofty goals, dreams, and aspirations, but not many people follow through with realizing them. And, in fact, many people move further and further away from them with each passing day. Why is that? Life can be convoluted at times. Sometimes, we're merely in reactionary mode and we lose sight of what we're aiming for. We're so busy responding to external stimuli, that we forget about the goals that are important to us, and we slip back into our negative patterns of behavior. By understanding our underlying beliefs, habits, and the reasons why we really want the things that we do, we can renew a start of pushing towards the life of our dreams. Learn to Live an Extraordinary Life There are a lot of resources out there touting to be the answer to our desires. From get-rich-quick schemes to fad weight-loss diets, we see them everywhere we turn. And, this seemingly ceaseless cycle of bombardment has us chasing our tails from left to right. It's time to exit the perpetual cycle of defeat and failure, and start living an extraordinary life. The Art of Persistence is about learning to reboot your life and assess what really matters to you. It's about how you can leverage some of the simple secrets to long-term success to move you closer and closer to your dreams each and every single passing day. From a foundational psychological understanding of why we do the things we do, to a formulaic approach to achieving anything in life, this book sheds light on the subject of goal setting in a whole new way. Moving Past Failure The most difficult part about achieving our goals in life, is coming up against failure. We've all failed many times, but how many of us have been able to use those failures as building blocks? How many people have been able to leverage their failures as stepping-stones to really succeeding in life? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Smokey Rivers.
