Publisher's Summary:

Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. This summary is wholly written and published by readtrepreneur.com. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way.

The power of DNA and the information it holds is immense. Imagine using that information to discover our past.

In our genomes, every one of us holds the history of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and sex. We are much more than our DNA but our DNA holds the keys to our past.

This is a story about you. It concerns the tale of who you are and how you came to be. (Adam Rutherford)

By sequencing the DNA of living people, we can obtain historical information that would otherwise remain unknown. History is shortsighted and can be flawed, family stories may be changed, but your DNA could never be altered nor could it ever lie. As author Adam Rutherford said, your DNA gives you your story and the story of your entire species. By sequencing only one person you can obtain more information than from any other source combined.

Adam Rutherford stresses the importance of the time period you are observing. "For comparison, the book you are holding is around 115,000 words, or 685,000 characters long, including spaces. If the length of time has existed were represented at this book, each character, including spaces is around 5,597 years."

Disclaimer once again: This book is meant for a great companionship of the original book or to simply get the gist of the original book.

Brief Entertainment

The narrator did an ok job, a little lacking on enthusiasm for the material. For someone who keeps up with the sciences, some of the information did not seem 100% accurate. However I was moderately entertained.

Title: Tamed and Untamed: Close Encounters of the Animal Kind

Author: Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, Sy Montgomery

Narrator: Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, Sy Montgomery

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-10-18

Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology

Publisher's Summary:

Extraordinary new insights into the minds and lives of our fellow creatures from two of the world's top animal authors, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Sy Montgomery.

Tamed and Untamed - a collection of essays penned by two of the world's most celebrated animal writers, Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas - explores the minds, lives, and mysteries of animals as diverse as snails, house cats, hawks, sharks, dogs, lions, and even octopuses.

Drawing on stories of animals both wild and domestic, the two authors, also best friends, created this book to put humans back into the animal world. The more we learn about what other animals think and do, they explain, the more we understand ourselves as animals, too. Writes Montgomery, "The list of attributes once thought to be unique to our species - from using tools to waging war - is not only rapidly shrinking, but starting to sound less and less impressive when we compare them with other animals' powers."

With humor, empathy, and introspection, Montgomery and Thomas look into the lives of all kinds of creatures - from man's best friend to the great white shark - and examine the ways we connect with our fellow species. Both authors have devoted their lives to sharing the animal kingdom's magic with others, and their combined wisdom is an indispensable contribution to the field of animal literature.

Five Stars

Anything written by Sy Montgomery is always an amazing journey around the world of animals!

Entertaining, informative book.

Fine book.

Something in common

Want to take a timeless trip into the world of living things? "Tamed and Untamed" is your ticket.

It's a collection of columns and essays about nature's many twists and turns - most unexpected - from a pair of expert guides. Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas are the docents in questions, and you couldn't ask for two better people to lead you. Both have done all sorts of good work over the years in their little niche of science writing. (Montgomery broke out of that niche in a way with her acclaimed and wonderful book, "The Good Good Pig." If you haven't read that yet, go get it and thank me and her later.)

Montgomery and Thomas go back and forth with columns and essays here, many of which appeared in The Boston Globe. They are all rather bite-sized - a little more than two pages of book type for most of them. Have 10 minutes free? You can read a couple of chapters that will put a smile on your face before you go do something else.

The biggest problems with books like this - anthologies of newspaper columns - can be dating. This is not a problem here. The stories about animals are as fresh as the day they were first written. After all, stories about animals surviving the winter or dogs that learn about the neighborhood by their sense of smell are very timeless. If there's a common theme with all of them, it's that animals probably are smarter than you think.

The two writers bring a slightly different perspective to their essays. Montgomery comes off a little wide-eyed in a good way, amazing by what she sees and ready to travel the world to find the latest discovery. Thomas stays closer to home for the most part, and leans a little bit more toward advocate status than observer at times.

Title: A Taste for the Beautiful

Subtitle: The Evolution of Attraction

Author: Michael J. Ryan

Narrator: Eric Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-09-18

Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology

Publisher's Summary:

Darwin developed the theory of sexual selection to explain why the animal world abounds in stunning beauty, from the brilliant colors of butterflies and fishes to the songs of birds and frogs. He argued that animals have "a taste for the beautiful" that drives their potential mates to evolve features that make them more sexually attractive and reproductively successful. But if Darwin explained why sexual beauty evolved in animals, he struggled to understand how.

Drawing on cutting-edge work in neuroscience and evolutionary biology, as well as his own important studies of the tiny Túngara frog deep in the jungles of Panama, Ryan explores the key questions: Why do animals perceive certain traits as beautiful and others not? Do animals have an inherent sexual aesthetic and, if so, where is it rooted? Ryan argues that the answers to these questions lie in the brain - particularly of females, who act as biological puppeteers, spurring the development of beautiful traits in males. This theory of how sexual beauty evolves explains its astonishing diversity and provides new insights about the degree to which our own perception of beauty resembles that of other animals.

Publisher: Author's Republic

You will learn about postures, the senses, and sensory perception, which will prepare you for the exercises and changes of habit that you will learn to practice by studying this course.

As the Alexander Technique is concerned with the body-mind connection, you will learn about the neurology of its fundamental methods. You will understand how the brain's function and psychological habits leak into the structure of the body and why this is important to comprehend.

You will be fully submerged in the principles of the Alexander Technique. You will learn how to facilitate freeing and conscious movement, and become mindful of your body and your thoughts to connect both elements for ultimate well-being. You'll gain a greater understanding of your own pain and habitual behaviors and how to approach these with mindful awareness - making positive change an easier process.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die reale Welt hat einen ganz eigenen Zauber.

Woraus besteht die Welt? Wer war der erste Mensch? Warum gibt es Leben auf der Erde? Seit jeher hat die Menschheit Mythen erfunden, um Antworten auf diese Fragen zu geben.

Einer der einflussreichsten Evolutionsbiologen der vergangenen 50 Jahre, Autor des Bestsellers "Der Gotteswahn" Richard Dawkins erzählt diese Mythen und enthüllt die wissenschaftliche Wahrheit, die hinter ihnen steckt.

So erfahren wir von Persephone, Gilgamesch und der freundlichen Göttin Hutasch, die den Regenbogen geschaffen hat, damit ihr lärmendes Volk außer Hörweite gehen konnte die Göttin wollte in Ruhe schlafen. Doch so wunderbar die Geschichten sind, weitaus spannender werden die Phänomene, wenn man sie wissenschaftlich betrachtet.

Der Autor zeigt, dass die wirkliche Welt ihren eigenen poetischen Zauber hat. Er meint damit eine Schönheit, die gerade deshalb so schön ist, weil sie wirklich existiert und weil wir verstehen, wie sie funktioniert.
