535-536 AD: The Worst Year in Existence Audiobook

In our time, 2020 has been dubbed as 'the worst year in human existence,' but if one turns back time, they will bear witness that 535-536 AD were the year of the most extreme and severe episodes of misfortune ever recorded. The misfortune stemmed from the cooling in the Northern Hemisphere in the last 2000 years, which caused widespread effects such as crop failure and famines worldwide. 535-536 AD: The Worst Year in Existence delves into answering exactly what the 535-536 AD weather events are, the possible theories, and the scientific explanation. Alongside, it will present the humanitarian view and how human societies coped through it all. Lastly, it will present the environmental concerns that it brings forth. 535-536 AD: The Worst Year in Existence is a book written by multiple students and all compiled into one single anthology with the help of Dr. Austin Mardon. Dr. Mardon is the Antarctic Institute of Canada's founder and provides excellent internship opportunities for students across the nation.

Humans on Mars

Earth is a safe haven bustling with movement, innovative ideas and creative minds, but we are also surely becoming over capacitated, and with our population growing more and more everyday, it is only a matter of time before Earth's resources can no longer sustain us, nor will there be any room for us to live in comfortably. Like in ancient times, humans have always looked for the skies for solutions to their problems, and that is what our scientists and researchers have also been doing, looking at the skies for a new alternative, and it seems like we have found one. Mars, the red planet, and Earth's neighbour, was recently discovered as a planet that could one day have the possibility to sustain human life. Humans on Mars will explore all the different aspects of human colonization on our neighbour, the little red planet.

The Dark Web: The Enigmatic Digital World

The advent of digital technology gives rise to a world within our very own screens. Many often think that these worlds are entirely different from their everyday lives. However many often blur the line between reality and the internet. The creation of the dark web facilitated this "blurry line" as crime has become available to screens, and at a click of a button, illegal items and goods get delivered to your doorstep. The dark web has its reputation for being a shady place. However, could it be used for good? And what makes it so bad anyway? All of these concepts will be explored throughout The Dark Web: The Enigmatic Digital World.

What in the World are Prions?

Have you ever heard of proteins, which cause fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative diseases for both people and animals? Did you know that these misfolded proteins are called Prions, and they can increase their numbers by using the functions of living cells (in this respect, prions are similar to viruses)? Even though prions had been found out almost 40 years ago by Stanley B. Prusiner, much is still left to be understood about the prion, including how exactly it replicates and causes other proteins to fold and the origin of the deadly molecule itself. Furthermore, most pressingly, how to treat or cure any of the numbers of terminal diseases it causes in animals and humans. In this book, you will discover the historical background of prions, their importance, structures, and the most known human prion diseases, the Public Health System's most significant challenges, and the future directions for the study of prions. All of that put in one book for a more detailed study of the still unexplored topic of deadly proteins - prions.

The History of Board Games

Since before the beginning of recorded history, board games have been a constant source of fascination and entertainment for human beings. From 7000-year-old bone dice and the Ancient Egyptian religious game of Senet to the spread of chess throughout medieval Eurasia, the history of board games is as sprawling, oftentimes mysterious, and complex as history itself. Though sometimes correctly characterized as meaningless fun or simple distractions, board games have also been assigned varying degrees of spiritual, cultural, and competitive importance. Often this importance can be examined not only to learn more about board games but also about the people who played them. In History of Board Games Throughout the Ages, we take a general look at the history of board games from ancient to modern times, including some of the most popular and influential board games ever played, their various roles in the societies and cultures they occupied, and the reasons why board games are so compelling and fun for us humans in the first place.
