  Ways of Attending - How our...

  Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
  Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
  Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
  Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).

  Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement and the mechanisms underlying physical activity. It encompasses various disciplines, including anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, and neuroscience, to explore how the body moves and functions. The importance of kinesiology lies in its application across multiple fields, including health, fitness, rehabilitation, and sports performance. By understanding the principles of movement, professionals in kinesiology can design effective exercise programs, enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall health and well-being. 
    
  In a world where sedentary lifestyles are increasingly common, the role of kinesiology becomes even more critical. It provides valuable insights into how physical activity affects health, highlighting the benefits of regular exercise in preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, kinesiology contributes to the development of rehabilitation strategies for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries, helping them regain strength, mobility, and functionality.

  Why are we often convinced that we’re right even when we’re wrong? Why are we jealous, or paranoid, even when we have absolutely no reason to be? Why is it so easy for fake news to spread around the globe and fool us? It’s because we don’t see the world as it is, rather we reconstruct it in our mind.

  urban Geography and Land Use -...

  Cities are fundamentally exercises in spatial organization—complex arrangements of human activity, physical infrastructure, and natural systems that collectively define how metropolitan regions function, evolve, and adapt. The geographic logic of urban environments—how different uses are distributed, how resources are allocated, and how communities develop within specific physical contexts—represents one of the most profound expressions of human social organization and values. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Geography, Urban Land Use, and Community Development—examining how spatial patterns emerge, how they reflect deeper social and economic forces, and how they ultimately shape the lived experiences of urban inhabitants. 
  The narrative of urban spatial organization is far more than a technical study of land allocation; it encompasses the dynamic interactions between physical geography, economic systems, social forces, and political decisions that collectively determine the form and function of our cities. By examining the complex mechanisms that drive urban spatial development—from market dynamics and zoning regulations to community activism and cultural preferences—this book illuminates how cities represent physical manifestations of our collective choices, priorities, and power structures. Readers will journey through diverse urban landscapes—from the historic patterns of concentric development to the fragmented geographies of postindustrial cities and the emerging forms of sustainable urbanism—while exploring how community development initiatives seek to reshape urban spaces to better serve human needs.

  From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour of the infrastructure behind the weather forecast, the people who built it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet 
  The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet behind these quotidian interactions is one of the most expansive machines human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of science, technology and global cooperation. But what is this ‘weather machine’ and who created it?  
  In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through an everyday miracle. In a quest to understand how the forecast works, he visits old weather stations and watches new satellites blast off. He follows the dogged efforts of scientists to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere and traces the surprising history of the algorithms that power their work. He discovers that we have quietly entered a golden age of meteorology—our tools allow us to predict weather more accurately than ever, and yet we haven’t learned to trust them, nor can we guarantee the fragile international alliances that allow our modern weather machine to exist. 
  Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our relationships with technology, the planet, and the global community.
