This unique tie-in to the major motion picture Oceans?coming this April from Disney & National Geographic?explores the health of our oceans, and what we can do to improve it.

More than 75 percent of the globe is covered by the oceans. It is sometimes difficult to understand why it is called Planet Earth rather than Planet Ocean. Since half the world?s human population lives within a stone?s throw of an ocean coastline, the oceans? health is increasingly important. Rich with resources and potential?as a source of renewable energy, new drugs, drinking water?for years we have treated them as both infinite and undamageable. But they are not.
Over-fishing, climate change, pollution, acidification, and more have put the world?s oceans and marine life at great risk.

Oceans gathers some of the most insightful visionaries, explorers, and ocean lovers? marine biologists, politicians, environmentalists, fishermen, sportsmen, deep divers, and more?in a unique anthology, in which each speaks to a unique aspect of our world?s most dimly understood dimension.

Your Creative Brain: Seven Steps to Maximize Imagination, Productivity, and Innovation in Your Life
Shelley Carson, "Your Creative Brain: Seven Steps to Maximize Imagination, Productivity, and Innovation in Your Life"
ISBN: 0470547634 | 2010 | EPUB/MOBI | 384 pages | 2 MB/3 MB

Filled with research-based techniques for expanding creativity and increasing productivity

This provocative book reveals why sitting in front of a light box can increase your creativity more than listening to a Bach concerto as example. The author Shelley H. Carson, a Harvard psychologist, explains that creativity isn't something only scientists, investors, artists, writers, and musicians enjoy; in fact, all of us use our creative brains every day at home and at work. Each of us has the ability to increase our mental functioning and creativity by learning to move flexibly among several brain states.

Explains seven brain states or "brainsets" and their functions as related to creativity, productivity, and innovation. These include Connect, Reason, Envision, Absorb, Transform, Evaluate, and Stream brainsets.
Provides quizzes, exercises, and self-tests to activate each of these seven brainsets to unlock our maximum creativity.

This book is a Harvard Health Publication that offers helpful suggestions that can be applied in both your personal and professional life.

The Sea of Lost Opportunity: North Sea Oil and Gas, British Industry and the Offshore Supplies Office By Norman J. Smith
2011 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0444536450 | PDF | 6 MB

This book reviews the condition of the British economy and the status of offshore technology immediately prior to the arrival of the oil and gas industry in the North Sea. It examines the immediate and long-term reactions to this large new industry of both the private sector and of government, including the formation, functions and operations of the Offshore Supplies Office (OSO). The "The Full and Fair Opportunity" policy for British firms and the role of' "UK content" and the sponsorship of R&D through license awards are considered. Relations with the USA, Norway and other European countries, as well as the European Commission are covered.
Notwithstanding the nearly 30 years of government support through the OSO, the UK has not reaped the full benefit of the North Sea discoveries; this book attempts to explain why.

Covers the entire period from the first well offshore Britain until the dismantling of the specific British industrial policy measures for offshore supplies
Based in large measure upon archives not previously accessed and the private testimony/papers of participants
'Drills down' to the level of individual company decisions through case study and other material

The Red Flag: A History of Communism

The Red Flag: A History of Communism
David Priestland, "The Red Flag: A History of Communism"
ISBN: 0802145124 | 2010 | EPUB/MOBI | 688 pages | 935 KB/1 MB

Communism was one of the most powerful political and intellectual movements the world has ever seen. At the height of their influence, Communists controlled more than a third of the earth?s surface. But perhaps more astonishing than its rapid rise and extraordinary reach was Communism?s sudden, devastating collapse in November of 1989.

In The Red Flag, Oxford professor David Priestland tells the epic story of a movement that has taken root in dozens of countries across two hundred years, from its birth after the French Revolution to its ideological maturity in nineteenth-century Germany to its rise to dominance (and subsequent fall) in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first modern Communists in the age of Robespierre, Priestland examines the motives of thinkers and leaders including Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che Guevara, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, and many others. He also explores the experience of what it meant to live under Communism for its millions of subjects. At a time when global capitalism is in crisis and powerful new political forces have arisen to confront Western democracy, The Red Flag is essential reading if we are to apply the lessons of the past to navigating the future.

Marcus Luttrell, "Service: A Navy SEAL at War" [Audiobook]

Marcus Luttrell, "Service: A Navy SEAL at War" [Audiobook]
Marcus Luttrell, "Service: A Navy SEAL at War" [Audiobook]
Hachette Audio | 2012 | English | ISBN: 1611134161 | MP3 VBR V8 | 12 hrs 07 mins | 416.29 MB

Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice everything-including themselves-for the sake of family, nation, and freedom.

InService, we follow Marcus Luttrell to Iraq, where he returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to help take on the most dangerous city in the world: Ramadi, the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There, in six months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where Luttrell offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before.

A thrilling war story,Service is also a profoundly moving tribute to the warrior brotherhood, to the belief that nobody goes it alone, and no one will be left behind.
