Publisher's Summary:

The black holes that produced the first detected gravitational waves may have exotic origins in the early universe. When the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, glimpsed gravitational waves from two merging black holes, scientists were surprised at how large the black holes were - about 30 times the mass of the sun.

Title: 'Promiscuous' Enzymes Switch Jobs

Author: Laurel Hamers

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-24-16

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

When bacteria lose genes needed to make enzymes for important chemical reactions, defeat isnt inevitable. Sometimes other enzymes will take on new roles to patch together a work-around chain of reactions that does the job. Bacteria that can adapt in this way are more likely to survive when living conditions change, passing along these new tricks to their descendants. So studying these biochemical gymnastics is helping scientists to understand how evolution works on a molecular level.

"'Promiscuous' Enzymes Switch Jobs" is from the September 3, 2016 issue of Science News.

Title: Cancer Gene Tests Provide Few Answers

Author: Jessica Wapner

Narrator: Jef Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Genetic tests for cancer have come a long way since they first entered the clinic in 1995. Back then, mutations in two genes - known as BRCA1 and BRCA2 - hinted at the crucial role that genetics can play in treatment decisions. Women carrying one of those mutations (and having a family history of breast or ovarian cancer) were much more likely than the general population to develop tumors in their breasts or ovaries. Then, as now, some of these women opted to have their breasts and ovaries removed before any malignant growths could arise.

"Cancer Gene Tests Provide Few Answers" is from the September 2016 issue of Scientific American.

Todays world is full of threats. Two of the great bulwarks of our recent prosperity - the postwar European project and a (reasonably) well-functioning democracy in the US - are under siege. Waves of refugees from the civil war in Syria are engulfing Europe and stretching to breaking the long-standing generosity of northern Europeans toward those in distress.

Title: Anesthesia Steals Awareness in Stages

Author: Rachel Ehrenberg

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-10-16

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

The brain doesnt really go out like a light when anesthesia kicks in. Nor does neural activity gradually dim, a new study in monkeys reveals. Rather, intermittent flickers of brain activity appear as the effects of an anesthetic take hold. Some synchronized networks of brain activity fall out of step as monkeys drift from wakefulness. But those networks resynchronize when deep unconsciousness sets in.

"Anesthesia Steals Awareness in Stages" is from the August 20, 2016 issue of Science News.

Title: Dog Medicine

Subtitle: How My Dog Saved Me from Myself

Author: Julie Barton

Narrator: Julie Barton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-16

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology

Publisher's Summary:

At 22 Julie Barton collapsed on her kitchen floor in Manhattan. She was one year out of college and severely depressed. Summoned by Julie's incoherent phone call, her mother raced from Ohio to New York and took her home. Psychiatrists, therapists and family tried to intervene, but nothing reached her until the day she decided to do one hopeful thing: adopt a golden retriever puppy she named Bunker.

Dog Medicine captures in beautiful, elegiac language the anguish of depression, the slow path to recovery and the astonishing way animals can heal even the most broken hearts and minds.

Members Reviews:

More enjoyable if you love dogs.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not sure. Would depend on if my friend was interested in hearing of how dogs can help people with depression.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Don't have one.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Don't know.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No. don't enjoy films and didn't enjoy the book enough to want to hear it again.

Any additional comments?

I thought the book was well written but found Julie's voice to be too monotone at the start. I'm not a dog lover so found that element boring, though I'm pleased that the dog helped her with her depression and wonder if she has another one now.

Title: The Real Living Dead

Subtitle: The Nightmare of Cotard's Syndrome

Author: David R.

Narrator: Kevin Theis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-24-16

Publisher: Jonah Ryan

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology

Publisher's Summary:

The living dead are often thought to be exclusive to movies and dreams, but in this quick book you will see your nightmares come to life. Cotard's Syndrome is a very rare and mysterious illness in which the victim truly believes they are dead, and they certainly act the part. Several cases include a woman who believes she doesn't have a brain or stomach, a man who believes he's gone to Hell and can't leave, and an elderly lady who sleeps in a coffin. It may sound crazy, but these horrifying accounts are all true. This book dives into what the syndrome is, symptoms, how it occurs, and gives detailed examples of this strange yet intriguing delusional mental illness.

Members Reviews:

Not the best use of a dollar.

I bought this "book," thinking it'd be a quick way to learn more about Cotard Syndrome. No such luck. I actually learned more reading the Wikipedia entry on the subject. The facts in this 12-page read are presented using clumsy language and an oddly condescending tone. If this book was a high school report, I'd have given it a generous B- and suggested that the student employ some beta readers.

BTW, "Mademoiselle X" wasn't her real name, for crying out loud.

Title: Attempt to Utilize Cryonics

Subtitle: Why Utilizing Human Cryopreservation is Ultimately Desirable

Author: Scott Everhart, Michael Ten

Narrator: Lawrence D. Palmer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-20-16

Publisher: Scott Everhart

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Biology

Publisher's Summary:

This short book focuses on reasons why human cryopreservation and cryonics is ultimately desirable. This is done by examining specific reasons why utilizing cryonics may be beneficial, and also by examining potential objections to utilizing cryonics and why these are ultimately likely unfounded. Whether or not to try and utilize cryopreservation is ultimately a personal choice and this book attempts to help provide a way of making a more informed personal decision. This short book is an attempt to help individuals realize why utilizing cryonics is ultimately desirable. These are reasons to utilize cryonics. Cryonics is a metaphorical ambulance to the future. Cryonics may be a way to meet back up with future generations of family. I am writing this for those who are interested in cryonics or might become interested in cryonics. I want to empower you so you can make more informed decisions about cryonics, and how to communicate it to others.

Members Reviews:

To Be or, Not to Be...Cryo-Preserved

Would you listen to Attempt to Utilize Cryonics again? Why?

Yes. This is a thought provoking book; although a very short one. It gives equal time to the

reasons that people might consider using cryo-preservation as well as addressing the potential problems and other reasons that might turn some away from it. No matter which side of the fence a person may be on, it is an interesting subject.

What other book might you compare Attempt to Utilize Cryonics to and why?

To be honest, this is the first book I have ever had on the subject so, there is no comparison for me to make.

Have you listened to any of Lawrence D. Palmers other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I believe he sounded better doing this type of audio book than some other types.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't be just another "STIFF", be preserved using cryogenics!
