The reason we need sleep has long mystified scientists, but it's crystal clear that we do need it. In fact, the more we learn about what happens while we snooze, the more we discover new benefits for multiple processes including hormone balance, immune function, emotional health, learning and memory. Studies show that even one night of disturbed rest leads to measurable impairments, and for this mini-collection, we've gathered the most recent research on the mechanisms of sleep.

The History of the Kings of Britain

The History of the Kings of Britain
Geoffrey of Monmouth, "The History of the Kings of Britain "
English | ISBN: 0140441700 | | 384 pages | AZW3 | 538 KB
Completed in 1136, this classic chronicle traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later. Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician, and the most famous of all British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history, and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But Geoffrey of Monmouth's powerful evocation of illustrious men and deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare, Dryden, and Tennyson.
