17: Ron Sun: A look at Ron Sun’s work in cognitive architectures and modeling intelligent systems.
 
18: Basic science (psychology): The foundation of cognitive science grounded in psychological principles.
 
19: Embodied cognition: An examination of how cognition is shaped by bodily experiences and interactions with the environment.
 
20: Cognitive psychology: An overview of cognitive psychology’s role in understanding human cognition.
 
21: Neuroscience: A deeper look at the brain’s neural mechanisms and their contribution to cognition.
 
This book provides a thorough understanding of how cognitive processes inform the development of robotic systems. It is essential reading for anyone aiming to grasp the theoretical and practical underpinnings of artificial intelligence and robotics. The knowledge in this book is more than just academic—it's a crucial resource for both understanding and building the next generation of intelligent machines.

    Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the reader on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance. 
 
That vessel itself is science fiction. But the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture that current science has to offer. 
 
Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over 50 images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.

It may never be possible to undertake a voyage through the stars for real. But in reading Interstellar Tours, you can enjoy the ultimate cruise across the Milky Way galaxy.

    A scientist takes on the distortions and outright lies foisted on the public! 
"A much-needed antidote to the prevailing plague of desperate (and often groundless) pessimism." —Michael Medved, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host 
Robert G. Williscroft firmly establishes that the sky is not falling. By using scientific research and solid reasoning, he explains some of the most disturbing problems facing our nation including global warming, the safety of nuclear power, the politics of education, and the oxymoron of government efficiency. With a clear message, he discerns what is true from what is merely Chicken Little gibberish.

    St. Francis of Assisi has been for decades been depicted in illustrations, paintings, and even garden birdbaths as a saint with a love for animals.  But he is not the only Christian saint associated with animals. Early Christian martyrs, the Desert Fathers of Egypt, monks and hermits from Ireland to Italy, Belgian nuns and saintly French noblemen all have fascinating accounts of animals as part of their legends. The tendency is to either naively accept all these accounts at face value, or dismiss them outright as fables.  However, neither approach is adequate. In this series of lectures you will approach these stories as hagiography, that is, stories of the saints intended to edify, to communicate a spiritual meaning to their audience.  These stories of saints and animals in this course are designed to offer people today an idea of how earlier Christian generations understood their fellow creatures as significant, communicating important messages of their Creator.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

    Birds, hormones, and extraordinary behavior: The story of the tiny but mighty golden-collared manakin of Panama 
 
 
  
This book is the story of a remarkable bird, the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) of Panama. Males of this species perform one of the most elaborate, physically complex, and noisy courtship displays of any animal on the planet. Barney A. Schlinger delves into the specialized neurons, muscles, bones, and hormonal systems underlying the manakin's unique courtship behavior, creating a rich life-history account that integrates field observations and evolutionary biology with behavioral ecology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and general ornithology. 
 
 
  
The personal lives of investigators and the natural history of the Panamanian rainforest provide context for this account of the bird's fascinating behavior. Schlinger clearly and approachably explains basic concepts in disciplines such as avian anatomy, endocrinology, sexual differentiation, and the neurobiology of song and aeroacoustics, offering listeners a window into the biology of this exuberant bird. 
 
 
 
This enhanced audiobook edition includes two short clips of the bird sounds described in the book.
