Free Download Origins: The Scientific Story of Creation by Jim Baggott, Neil Scott-Barbour, Audible Studios
English | 2016 | ISBN: B01C3525BQ | Format: M4A / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 16 hours and 47 minutes | 521 Mb
What is the nature of the material world? How does it work? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang and travelling right up to the emergence of humans as conscious intelligent beings, 13.8 billion years later. Chapter by chapter, it sets out the current state of scientific knowledge: the origins of space and time; energy, mass, and light; galaxies, stars, and our sun; the habitable earth, and complex life itself. Drawing together the physical and biological sciences, Baggott recounts what we currently know of our history, highlighting the questions science has yet to answer.

Free Download Opium Inc.: How a Global Drug Trade Funded the British Empire
English | 2021 | ISBN: B09F71K3B1 | Format: MP3 / 9h 27m + EPUB | 260 Mb
This is the story of the world's biggest drug deal.
In the 19th century, the British East India Company operated a triangle of trade that straddled the globe, running from India to China to Britain. From India to China, they took opium. From China to Britain, they took tea. From Britain to India, they brought empire. It was a machine that consumed cheap Indian land and labor and spat out money.
The British had two problems, though. They were importing enormous amounts of tea from China, but the Celestial Empire looked down on British goods and only wanted silver in return. Simultaneously, the expanding colony in India was proving far too expensive to maintain. The British solved both problems with opium, which became the source of income on which they built their empire.

Free Download On the Path to Enlightenment: Heart Advice From the Great Tibetan Masters (Audiobook)
English | December 09, 2014 | ASIN: B00OTWCZSK | M4B@64 kbps | 6h 17m | 171 MB
Author: Matthieu Ricard | Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, 'Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions.
The selected teachings are taken from the sources of the traditions, including the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Guru Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great masters of the past, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from contemporary masters, including the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They address such topics as the nature of the mind; the foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, meditation, and action; and how to remove obstacles and make progress on the path.

Free Download On Benefits (Audiobook)
English | May 25, 2023 | ASIN: B0C5F55QH1 | M4B@128 kbps | 8h 49m | 481 MB
Author: Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Narrator: Mike Rogers
The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as 'On Benefits'. However, it is more usefully titled 'On Favours', because this is what it is essentially аbout: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions.
Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius's warning: 'Neither a borrower nor a lender be,' Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which 'kindness', he says, is an important aspect-but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part-and 'gratitude' is again only one response.

Free Download David Neiwert, Gabriel Vaughan (Narrator), "Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us"
English | ASIN: B0CPKRK2Y8 | 2023 | M4B@128 kbps | ~10:35:00 | 667 MB
The orca-otherwise known as the killer whale-is one of earth's most intelligent animals. Remarkably sophisticated, orcas have languages and cultures and even long-term memories, and their capacity for echolocation is nothing short of a sixth sense. They are also benign and gentle, which makes the story of the captive-orca industry-and the endangerment of their population in Puget Sound-that much more damning.
In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores an extraordinary species and its occasionally fraught relationship with human beings. Beginning with their role in myth and contemporary culture, Neiwert shows how killer whales came to capture our imaginations and brings to life the often-catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal.
