    How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself, "How could someone do something like that?" Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing, and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal-oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all, but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and listeners—for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad. Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences.

    A City Within One Building -...

    In the heart of urban landscapes, the idea of a "city within one building" has evolved from a futuristic concept to a tangible reality. These monumental structures encapsulate the essence of urban life, redefining the way we live, work, and interact within confined yet dynamic environments. At their core, they embody the idea of vertical urbanism—a vision that seeks to concentrate the diversity and vibrancy of a city into a single architectural entity. 
The origins of this vision can be traced to the pressures of urbanization and the relentless march of technological innovation. As cities expanded horizontally, they encountered spatial limitations, environmental challenges, and infrastructural strain. The solution lay not outward, but upward. Vertical urbanism emerged as a response to these challenges, combining architectural ingenuity with a commitment to sustainability. The result is a new typology of buildings that integrate residential, commercial, recreational, and even cultural spaces into a cohesive, self-contained ecosystem. 
One of the most compelling aspects of these megastructures is their ability to transform our perception of space and connectivity. Traditional cities rely on sprawling layouts that separate different functions—housing, offices, schools, and leisure activities are often miles apart. By contrast, a city within a building integrates these elements into a seamless whole. Residents can live, work, and play without stepping outside, reducing reliance on transportation and fostering a sense of community within the structure’s walls.

    Human beings are inherently social creatures, shaped by the need to interact, communicate, and form relationships with others. The social nature of humans is deeply rooted in evolutionary history, where cooperation and group cohesion were essential for survival. Over time, human societies have become increasingly complex, but the fundamental need for social connection remains central to human identity and behavior. This chapter explores the biological, psychological, and sociological foundations of human sociality and how they shape individual and collective behavior. 
From an evolutionary perspective, human beings have always relied on social bonds for protection, resource sharing, and collective problem-solving. Early human groups depended on coordinated hunting, gathering, and defense mechanisms to survive in harsh environments. Natural selection favored individuals who could effectively communicate, cooperate, and form alliances, leading to the development of social behaviors such as empathy, altruism, and social hierarchies. The human brain evolved to process social information, with structures such as the prefrontal cortex playing a critical role in understanding and responding to social cues. 
Psychologically, the need for social connection is reflected in the human desire for belonging, acceptance, and emotional support. Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, suggests that early attachment to caregivers forms the foundation for future social relationships.
