Free Download The Truth About Immigration: Why Successful Societies Welcome Newcomers
English | ASIN: B0CKLXBSK6 | 2024 | 11 hours and 13 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 324 MB
Author: Zeke Hernandez
Narrator: Zeke Hernandez, André Santana
The go-to book on immigration: fact-based, comprehensive, and nonpartisan. Immigration is one of the most controversial topics in the United States and everywhere else. Pundits, politicians, and the public usually depict immigrants as either villains or victims. The villain narrative is that immigrants pose a threat-to our economy because they steal our jobs; our way of life because they change our culture; and to our safety and laws because of their criminality. The victim argument tells us that immigrants are needy outsiders-the poor, huddled masses whom we must help at our own cost if necessary. But the data clearly debunks both narratives. From jobs, investment, and innovation to cultural vitality and national security, more immigration has an overwhelmingly positive impact on everything that makes a society successful. In The Truth About Immigration, Wharton professor Zeke Hernandez draws from nearly 20 years of research to answer all the big questions about immigration. He combines moving personal stories with rigorous research to offer an accessible, apolitical, and evidence-based look at how newcomers affect our local communities and our nation.

Free Download Sick Money: The Truth About the Global Pharmaceutical Industry (Audiobook)
English | October 07, 2021 | ASIN: B099X8HDC6 | M4B@128 kbps | 13h 51m | 770 MB
Author: Billy Kenber | Narrator: Ciaran Saward
The pharmaceutical industry is broken. From the American hedge fund manager who hiked the price of an AIDS pill from $17.50 to $750 overnight to the children’s cancer drugs left intentionally to expire in a Spanish warehouse, the signs of this dysfunction are all around. A system that was designed to drive innovation and patient care has been relentlessly distorted to drive up profits.
Medicines have become nothing more than financial assets. The focus of drug research, how drugs are priced and who has access to them, is now dictated by shareholder value, not the good of the public. Drug companies fixated on ever-higher profits are being fined for bribing doctors and striking secret price-gouging deals, while patients desperate for life-saving medicines are driven to the black market in search of drugs that national health services can’t afford.

Free Download Craft and Conscience: How to Write About Social Issues (Audiobook)
English | October 04, 2022 | ASIN: B0BFJQD9K1 | M4B@64 kbps | 13h 31m | 404 MB
Author: Kavita Das | Narrator: Lynnette R. Freeman
The first major book for writers to more effectively engage with complex socio-political issues-a critical first step in creating social change
Writers are witnesses and scribes to society’s conscience but writing about social issues in the twenty-first century requires a new, sharper toolkit. Craft and Conscience helps writers weave together their narrative craft, analytical and research skills, and their conscience to create prose which makes us feel the individual and collective impact of crucial issues of our time. Kavita Das guides writers to take on nuanced perspectives and embrace intentionality through a social justice lens. She challenges writers to unpack their motivations for writing about an issue and to understand that "writing, irrespective of genre or outlet, is an act of political writing," regardless of intention.

If you don’t know the question, you probably won’t get the answer right. This course is all about asking the right machine learning questions, modeling real-world situations as one of several well understood machine learning problems.
What you’ll learn
Machine learning is behind some of the coolest technological innovations today, Contrary to popular perception, however, you don’t need to be a math genius to successfully apply machine learning. As a data scientist facing any real-world problem, you first need to identify whether machine learning can provide an appropriate solution. In this course, How to Think About Machine Learning Algorithms, you’ll learn how to identify those situations. First, you will learn how to determine which of the four basic approaches you’ll take to solve the problem: classification, regression, clustering or recommendation. Next, you’ll learn how to set up the problem statement, features, and labels. Finally you’ll plug in a standard algorithm to solve the problem. At the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge required to recognize an opportunity for a machine learning application and seize it.

English | ASIN: B0CYF2XPZP | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:06:00 | 168 MB
Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior.
Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects’ brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions?
Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About?, animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers’ anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau’s and other scientists’ research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs.

Free Download David A. Kessler, Joe Knezevich (Narrator), "Food or Fiction?: The Truth About the Ultraprocessed Foods Making America Sick"
English | ASIN: B0CP4DZX2F | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~04:17:00 | 118 MB
The former FDA Commissioner and New York Times bestselling author explains why Americans suffer in unprecedented numbers from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses, and offers concrete solutions for reducing cardiovascular problems, keeping weight off, and curtailing chronic disease.
Unprecedented numbers of us live with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses. The root cause is a once-revolutionary idea that seemed to offer so much promise but instead has become the cause of a global health crisis: processed foods. Over the past seventy-five years, a number of factors aligned to create a reality in which processed carbohydrates-in the form of appealing, ever-present food items from pizza to burritos to bagels-became our main food source. In Food or Fiction?, bestselling author and former FDA commissioner David A. Kessler, MD, explains how the quest to feed a nation resulted in a population that is increasingly suffering from obesity and chronic disease, and offers an urgently needed course correction.
While changes to farming, production, and distribution revolutionized our lifestyles, it also impacted our health as our bodies quietly contended with the metabolic chaos caused by consuming rapidly absorbable starch. Slowly but surely, these effects accumulated and became disastrous, leading to the health crisis we face today. In Food or Fiction?, Dr. Kessler explains how eating refined grains such as wheat, corn, and rice leads to a cascade of hormonal and metabolic issues that make it very easy to gain weight and nearly impossible to lose it. Worse still, he argues, is that this excess weight is making us sick, laying the groundwork for a host of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, and a number of cancers. We can no longer afford to dismiss the consequences of eating food that is designed to be rapidly absorbed as sugar in our bodies. Food or Fiction? reveals in illuminating detail how we got to this critical turning point-and outlines a plan that allows us finally to regain control of our health.
