    Out of the Labyrinth: Setting Mathematics Free , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 634min
    Who hasn't feared the math Minotaur in its labyrinth of abstractions? Now, in Out of the Labyrinth, Robert and Ellen Kaplan - the founders of The Math Circle, the popular learning program begun at Harvard in 1994 - reveal the secrets behind their highly successful approach, leading listeners out of the labyrinth and into the joyous embrace of mathematics. Written with the same wit and clarity that made Robert Kaplan's The Nothing That Is an international best seller, Out of the Labyrinth offers an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a delight for anyone interested in sharing the pleasures of mathematics. The Kaplans begin by describing the state of modern math education - the lockstep acquisition of "skills", "number facts", and "mad minute" calculations. Instead, they argue, math should be taught as the highest form of intellectual play, an endeavor to be explored and enjoyed by children (or adults) of any age. One by one, they dismantle the many barriers to appreciating mathematics, from the self-defeating belief that mathematical talent is inborn, to the off-putting language of mathematics, to the question of why anyone should care. They show, for instance, that mathematical ability is not a matter of inborn genius, but of doggedness and attention. Even Einstein admitted that "I know perfectly well that I myself have no special talents. It was curiosity, obsession, and sheer perseverance that brought me to my ideas." Enhanced throughout with puzzles, practical equations, and colorful anecdotes from their own classrooms, Out of the Labyrinth will delight listeners with its engaging exploration of mathematics. It will allow students, parents, teachers, and others to wrestle with the accessible mysteries of math - and discover their inner math genius. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Odd Couples: Extraordinary Differences Between the Sexes in the Animal Kingdom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
    While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of other animals. For instance: the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. Female cichlids must guard their eggs and larvae--even from the hungry appetites of their own partners. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm longer than their own bodies to mate with females that outweigh them by four orders of magnitude. Why do these gender gulfs exist? Introducing readers to important discoveries in animal behavior and evolution, Odd Couples explores some of the most extraordinary sexual differences in the animal world. From the fields of Spain to the deep oceans, evolutionary biologist Daphne Fairbairn uncovers the unique and bizarre characteristics--in size, behavior, ecology, and life history--that exist in these remarkable species and the special strategies they use to maximize reproductive success. Fairbairn describes how male great bustards aggressively compete to display their gorgeous plumage and large physiques to watching, choosey females. She investigates why female elephant seals voluntarily live in harems where they are harassed constantly by eager males. And she reveals why dwarf male giant seadevils parasitically fuse to their giant female partners for life. Fairbairn also considers humans and explains that although we are keenly aware of our own sexual differences, they are unexceptional within the vast animal world. Looking at some of the most amazing creatures on the planet, Odd Couples sheds astonishing light on what it means to be male or female in the animal kingdom. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How We Do It: The Evolution and Future of Human Reproduction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min
    Despite the widespread belief that natural is better when it comes to sex, pregnancy, and parenting, most of us have no idea what "natural" really means; the origins of our reproductive lives remain a mystery. Why are a quarter of a billion sperm cells needed to fertilize one egg? Are women really fertile for only a few days each month? How long should babies be breast-fed? In How We Do It, primatologist Robert Martin draws on 40 years of research to locate the roots of everything from our sex cells to the way we care for newborns. He examines the procreative history of humans as well as that of our primate kin to reveal what's really natural when it comes to making and raising babies, and distinguish which behaviors we ought to continue - and which we should not. Although it's not realistic to raise our children like our ancestors did, Martin’s investigation reveals surprising consequences of - and suggests ways to improve upon - the way we do things now. For instance, he explains why choosing a midwife rather than an obstetrician may have a greater impact than we think on our birthing experience, examines the advantages of breast-feeding for both mothers and babies, and suggests why babies may be ready for toilet training far earlier than is commonly practiced. How We Do It offers much-needed context for our reproductive and child-rearing practices, and shows that once we understand our evolutionary past, we can consider what worked, what didn’t, and what it all means for the future of our species. ungekürzt.

You are at the store, and somebody overcharges you, making you wait in line and causing everybody behind you to blame you.

You are working, and somebody keeps bothering you, making you lose your train of focus on your already overdue work. What is your automatic reaction? Anger is a natural go-to response, and your anger may even be justified. Who doesn't want to lash out at that idiot who spilled coffee on someone's brand-new favorite outfit by immediate default...yet they try to hold back that anger? The problem is when anger is constantly easily triggered or can't be contained. You may think anger makes you tough, but if you're angry all the time, deep down there is something bothering you - either out of fear so it acts as a shield,or from harboring deep emotional pain from the past because of someone or something.

    The Intelligent Investor: Summary and Analysis of "The Intelligent Investor" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    Find out About the Psychology of Investing in a Fraction of the Time It Takes to Read the Actual Book! This book announces early on that its purpose is to help an average person adopt and carry out an investment policy. Rather than focusing on analyzing securities, the book devotes itself to explaining investment principles and attitudes. Its history of republication and new editions certainly secures its place as a worthwhile listen for any serious investor. The fourth edition's preface by Warren Buffett, in which he claims that this is the best investment book he has read, does not hurt either. In the introduction Benjamin Graham explains that the book presents principles for intelligent investing while warning that there are no foolproof ways to make money. He names two types of investors: the defensive and the enterprising. The defensive investor is passive; his chief purpose is to avoid making serious mistakes or losses while also putting in less effort and making less frequent decisions. The enterprising investor is active or even aggressive; he is more than willing to devote time and energy to selecting securities that are stable and more attractive than average. Graham explains that the enterprising investor may expect better returns for his extra effort over the course of a few decades, but Graham doubts that substantial gain is guaranteed for that investor. He also details examples of how investment professionals, the experts, can and have been wrong. For instance, many investment companies favored airline stocks because they foresaw the number of travelers rising; the premise for their faith in these stocks was true - the number of frequent fliers did rise. However, the airlines themselves struggled to be profitable. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Dandridge. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/057693/bk_acx0_057693_sample.mp3.

    Dr. Sebi Approve Diet: The Ultimate Guide to Alkaline Diet with Approved Herbs Food Lists and Delicious Recipes to Cleanse, Heal and Revitalize Your Body , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    The Dr. Sebi Diet was developed by Alfredo Darrington Bowman, a self-taught herbalist who found excellent nutritional value in some foods. Despite his name, however, Dr. Sebi did not hold a PhD, nor was he a medical practitioner.He claimed these plant-based meals had the potential to help people prevent diseases, and they could serve as treatment plans for chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes. This diet is composed of greens, vegetables, and other plants, which are intended to create alkaline conditions in the body.Dr. Sebi explained that high acidity levels promote pathogen development and create an environment that fosters the creation of disease-causing mucus. For instance, pneumonia is caused by mucus accumulation in the lungs, while diabetes is a result of excess mucus in the pancreas. According to Sebi, his diet raises the alkaline level in your body. This in turn prevents the formation of mucus, and makes it difficult for infection-causing organisms to survive. Furthermore, this diet induces cell rejuvenation and the elimination of toxic substances from the blood and body, promoting improved health and stronger resistance to illnesses. There are many Dr. Sebi-approved supplements that, combined with the recommended foods, constitute this diet.The author designed this nutrition plan for people who wish to use natural methods to prevent or treat their medical conditions. It was aimed at minimizing reliance on Western medicine and relying more on holistic approaches to bettering your health.For an in-depth analysis of what constitutes this popular diet, we are going to look closer at the details in the subsequent sections. This will include the types of foods to eat, the benefits and drawbacks of the diet, its significance to weight loss, the supplements involved, and how it reverses medical illnesses. ungekürzt.

    Grammar for a Full Life: How the Ways We Shape a Sentence Can Limit or Enlarge Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
    Why settle for a normal audiobook on grammar when you could learn new things about it and become your own best self at the same time?  If you’re looking for a traditional manual of rules, this much-acclaimed, groundbreaking audiobook by a cofounder of Harvard University’s Writing Center may not be the one for you. Grammar is about much more than rules: It’s about choices, too - since a thought can always be expressed correctly in multiple ways.In Grammar for a Full Life, author Lawrence Weinstein reveals how our grammatical choices either stifle or boost our:Sense of agency in lifeCreativityDepth of connection to othersAnd mindfulness..Weinstein shows that certain tweaks to a person’s grammar can bring consequential changes in his or her fulfillment and well-being. In this wonderful audiobook, he describes some 40 transformative moves that can be made with English punctuation and syntax. You’ll learn, for instance, why a greater use of active voice constructions builds assertive energy in us. You’ll discover how - paradoxically - cutting back on the “intensifiers” (exclamation marks and words like really, absolutely) heightens our awareness of the world.There is not too much about personality and life that Weinstein doesn’t see benefitting from a wiser use of grammar. In a section titled “Bonding”, even sex comes in for some grammatical attention. Even fear of death receives its own, almost lyrical section near book’s end.The farther one gets into this remarkable audiobook, the clearer it becomes that Weinstein’s wish - for both himself and us - is actualization of “the whole person”, through language.No listener should be intimidated by Weinstein's university credentials. As important an audiobook as his is, it's conversational throughout - and it's packed with numerous compelling, clear examples. You will never think of commas or possessive pronouns in t ungekürzt.
