Wilson | Narrator: Jonathan Hogan How did humanity originate and why does a species like ours exist on this planet? Do we have a special place, even a destiny in the universe? Where are we going, and perhaps, the most difficult question of all, "Why?" In The Meaning of Human Existence, his most philosophical work to date, Pulitzer Prize-winning biologist Edward O. Wilson grapples with these and other existential questions, examining what makes human beings supremely different from all other species. Searching for meaning in what Nietzsche once called "the rainbow colors" around the outer edges of knowledge and imagination, Wilson takes his readers on a journey, in the process bridging science and philosophy to create a twenty-first-century treatise on human existence―from our earliest inception to a provocative look at what the future of mankind portends. ![]() Free Download The Meaning in the Making: The How and Why Behind Our Human Need to Create (Audiobook) English | August 10, 2021 | ASIN: n/a | M4B@128 kbps | 6h 55m | 388 MB Author and Narrator: Sean Tucker Become inspired, find your voice, and create work that matters.

But Willoughby, the new British High Commissioner in Egypt, has managed to affront the Khedive by refusing to receive rival delegations fueled by rising nationalism. Then, when some Armenians, Copts, and English civil servants are attacked, a state of emergency is declared. Gareth Cadwallader Owen is the Mamur Zapt, the Head of the Khedive's Secret Police. Unlike his British colleagues, Owen works for the Khedive. His is an uncomfortable perch as agitation for political and social restructuring grows. Furthermore, Owen is married to a pasha's daughter, Zeinab, herself straddling a cultural divide. The Khedive has declared a procession: he'll drive around Cairo with his Ministers. Owen, who has spent his career defusing political time bombs, learns the streets have been made dangerous by threats of real bombs. The fi rst order of business is to ward them off. The second is to ensure the safety of an impending major European delegation to the capital. ![]() Free Download The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics [TTC Audio] English | November 24, 2023 | ASIN: B0CN3WBZXG | M4B@64 kbps | 11h 56m | 338 MB Lecturer: Sean Carroll In a field known for startling ideas, the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics may take the prize. It holds that parallel to our own world are a large number of other universes, almost identical to ours but with small variations. Copies of each of us inhabit a myriad of these worlds. But they are not us exactly; they share our past history but they are different people who have unique futures. Although these realms are invisible and can't communicate with each other, prominent physicists are convinced they must exist. The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics is about why we should take the Many-Worlds Interpretation seriously, as arguably the best explanation of quantum mechanics, the science of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales. In 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Sean Carroll of Johns Hopkins University guides listeners through the history, reasoning, and implications of this bold idea. He also covers alternate theories to Many-Worlds and unresolved questions in fundamental physics, making the course a thorough introduction to the current state of this exciting field. ![]() Free Download The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 by Lionel Shriver, George Newbern, HarperAudio English | 2018 | ISBN: B01EGDJOA8 | Format: M4B / 13 hours and 45 minutes | 374 Mb With dry wit and psychological acuity, this near-future novel explores the aftershocks of an economically devastating US sovereign debt default on four generations of a once-prosperous American family. Down-to-earth and perfectly realistic in scale, this is not an over-the-top Blade Runner tale. It is not science fiction. In 2029 the United States is engaged in a bloodless world war that will wipe out the savings of millions of American families. Overnight, on the international currency exchange, the "almighty dollar" plummets in value, to be replaced by a new global currency: the "bancor". In retaliation the president declares that America will default on its loans. With "Deadbeat Nation" being unable to borrow, the government prints money to cover its bills. What little remains for savers is rapidly eaten away by runaway inflation. The Mandibles have been counting on a sizable fortune filtering down when their 97-year-old patriarch dies. Once the inheritance turns to ash, each family member must contend with disappointment but also - as the US economy spirals into dysfunction - the challenge of sheer survival. ![]() Free Download The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John von Neumann by Ananyo Bhattacharya, Nicholas Camm, Random House Audio English | 2022 | ISBN: B09M2LTKSH | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 128 Kbps / 11 hours and 56 minutes | 650 Mb An electrifying biography of one of the most extraordinary scientists of the twentieth century and the world he made.
