Summary

Color Perception explores the captivating science behind how we and other species experience color. Diving into visual perception, it reveals that color isn't an objective reality but a subjective interpretation shaped by our biology. Did you know that some animals see a world of colors far beyond human capabilities, while others perceive only shades of gray? This book examines the biological mechanisms, such as photoreceptor cells, and the psychological effects of color, providing insights into how color influences our emotions and behaviors.

 
The book progresses from the basic physiology of the eye and brain, including the visual cortex, to comparative studies of color vision across different species. Exploring animal behavior, it highlights how color perception affects mate selection and predator avoidance. Furthermore, the book uses neuroscience, like fMRI, to visualize brain activity. By bridging biology and psychology, Color Perception offers a holistic view of how our brains and biology shape our colorful world.

    The universe wakes up through you. 
We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
And it has been waiting for you to wake up.

    The New Female Antihero examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television. 
  
The last ten years have seen a shift in television storytelling toward increasingly complex storylines and characters. In this study, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman zoom in on a key figure in this transformation: the archetype of the female antihero. Far from the sunny, sincere, plucky persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often selfish and deeply unlikeable. 
  
In this entertaining and insightful study, Hagelin and Silverman explore the meanings of this profound change in the role of women characters. In the dramas of the new millennium, they show, the female antihero is ambitious, conniving, even murderous; in comedies, she is self-centered, self-sabotaging, and anti-aspirational. Across genres, these female protagonists eschew the part of good girl or role model. In their rejection of social responsibility, female antiheroes thus represent a more profound threat to the status quo than do their male counterparts. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. They push back against the myth of the modern-day super-woman—she who “has it all”—and in so doing, they give us new ways of imagining women’s lives in contemporary America.
