First aid training will equip you with the awareness and practical capabilities of how to react if the worst happens. It’s the knowledge of how to help someone that collapses, cuts themselves, gets hurt in an emergency situation or finds themselves in a medical emergency. Everyone in the world would benefit from studying First Aid. The information provided in this audiobook could literally become a matter of life and death and though we may not always need to use the knowledge, and hopefully we won’t, it’s a great education to have. The First Aid audiobook is suitable for just about everyone. We all hope that we would never have need for first aid knowledge but at some point in life we generally do, whether it is tending to a small graze or cut and knowing how to properly clean and bandage the wound, to recognising the symptoms of a heart attack, how to aid the sufferer, and potentially saving a life. These are skills everyone should have. More specifically the audiobook would benefit those who are around other people as part of their profession, for example, care and social workers.

Jungian Archetypes Audio Course
Carl Jung, the renowned 20th-century Swiss psychiatrist, believed our minds have a predetermined structure that shapes how and what we’ll experience in life. According to him, identical psychic structures, which are typical to all humans, exist in parts of our psyche, and these heritable structures influence the way we experience everything in our lives. Jung called these structures ‘archetypes’, which can be described as cognitive categories or natural inclinations that we all are born with, and their job is to make us think, feel, perceive and act in a specific way. This course explores this concept and its place within psychology, psychoanalysis, and fictional writing. The Jungian Archetypes Audio Course jumps straight into the subject - explaining what the Jungian archetypes are, Carl Jung’s concept of the psyche and its three main components, and what the 12 main archetypes are and what they are used for. We’ll take a look into Carl Jung’s life - his childhood, education, personal life and association with Sigmund Freud. We will also consider his important ideas and concepts, as well as his legacy and influence. The course examines the book ‘Instinct and the Unconscious’, which exhibits Jung’s understanding of instincts as unconscious processes, distinguishing instincts from phobias and reflex actions, the origin of instincts and how they differ from intuition, personal unconscious, the collective unconscious, and archetypes and archetypes as metaphysical ideas. We’ll discuss psychophysical patterns and the electromagnetic spectrum idea, archetypal events, archetypal motifs and the shadow, anima/animus, and the self. We take a deeper look at the 12 main archetypes introduced at the start of the course and examine each in greater detail - giving a comprehensive understanding of each. These archetypes are Hero, Magician, Outlaw, Innocent, Sage, Explorer, Artist, Ruler, Caregiver, Lover, Jester and Everyman. We then look at how archetypes were used by not

Zoology is a vast subject, encompassing all aspects of scientific knowledge about animals, such as embryonic development, evolution, behaviour, ecological distribution, and classification. The course provides an introduction to the natural world and its animal inhabitants. The study of animals and their habitats is so vast that it is broken down into five main branches. The course begins by looking at what zoology is, defining its five branches, and introducing you to animals from a zoology perspective. We’ll review the history of zoology - learning about some of its famous practitioners, understanding the history of the animal kingdom and how evolution and adaptation work. We’ll dive into animal characteristics and how they are used in classification, and explore behavioural types, instincts and social behaviours. We’ll also look into genetics and the breeding of animals; learning how and why it is done, and its advantages and disadvantages. We’ll take a deep dive into the various aspects of animal environments. This includes an exploration of organisms, ecosystems and their elements; food chains; nature cycles like the water, nitrogen and carbon cycles; and biodiversity. We also look into the various diseases that affect animals, how these diseases are diagnosed, and how they are treated. We’ll look at the practical side of animal care - learning how animals are handled, trained, and reared. We’ll discuss animal shelters, how animal health care facilities function, how health issues are detected in animals, the common health issues that occur in animals and the process of animal rehabilitation. The course concludes with a selection of case studies that showcase various aspects of zoology. This course will be of interest to animal lovers who want greater insight into the animal kingdom, whether you own animals or are just interested in how they live and are cared for, and if you own or are setting up an animal care business.
