Sinossi

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 long history of one of physics' most enticing ideas: that the universe we know isn't the only one 
     
     
     
    Our books, our movies—our imaginations—are obsessed with extra dimensions, alternate timelines, and the sense that all we see might not be all there is. In short, we can't stop thinking about the multiverse. As it turns out, physicists are similarly captivated.   
     
     
      
    In The Allure of the Multiverse, physicist Paul Halpern tells the epic story of how science became besotted with the multiverse, and the controversies that ensued. The questions that brought scientists to this point are big and deep: Is reality such that anything can happen, must happen? How does quantum mechanics "choose" the outcomes of its apparently random processes? And why is the universe habitable? Each question quickly leads to the multiverse. Drawing on centuries of disputation and deep vision, from luminaries like Nietzsche, Einstein, and the creators of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Halpern reveals the multiplicity of multiverses that scientists have imagined to make sense of our reality. Whether we live in one of many different possible universes, or simply the only one there is, might never be certain. But Halpern shows one thing for sure: how stimulating it can be to try to find out.
