Summary:

The International Bestseller

On April 10, 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conferencea turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falckes goal in making a black hole visible for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers.

Light in the Darkness takes us on Falckes extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility, Light in the Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.

Title: How Stella Learned to Talk: The Groundbreaking Story of the World's First Talking Dog

Author: Christina Hunger

Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon, Stella The Dog

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:00:18

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-21

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words.

When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didnt take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldnt they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?

Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word outside when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences.

How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella spoke her first word, and the other breakthroughs theyve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets.

Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade.

Title: Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine

Author: Robert H. Lustig

Narrator: Charles Constant

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:03:52

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-21

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Health & Wellness, Diet & Nutrition, Disorders & Diseases, Instructional & How To

Summary:

The New York Times bestselling author of Fat Chance explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, documents how processed food has impacted them to ruin our health, economy, and environment over the past 50 years, and proposes an urgent manifesto and strategy to cure both us and the planet.

Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.

You cant solve a problem if you dont know what the problem is. One of Lustigs singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to connect the dots for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the real story of food and the story of real food. 

Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: 

- Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itself

- You can diagnose your own biochemical profile 

- Chronic diseases are not ''druggable,'' but they are ''foodable'' 

- Processed food isnt just toxic, its addictive

- The war between vegan and keto is a false warthe combatants are on the same side

- Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other side

Making the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains whats needed to fix all three.
