  Dad Brain - The New Science of...

  A groundbreaking scientific exploration of fatherhood that explains the biology of caregiving and redefines what it means to be a “good dad”Over the last decade, researchers have discovered that having a child profoundly transforms our brains, hormones, and sense of self. Most studies have (understandably) focused on mothers. Until recently, the transition to fatherhood has been overlooked.Now, in Dad Brain, University of Southern California Professor Darby Saxbe draws on her field-leading research on families to revolutionize our understanding of fatherhood. As Dr. Saxbe explains, across both animal and human societies, fathering behaviors vary widely. Male birds and fish are exemplary dads (Nemo’s father was no outlier; clownfish dads are particularly devoted), but involved fathers are rare among mammals. Human fatherhood is considered “facultative,” an optional but very useful adaptation. That’s where nonbiological factors such as love, obligation, culture, religion, and complex reproductive strategies come in, influencing the ways fathers respond to the needs of their children.In Dad Brain, Dr. Saxbe takes readers on a fatherhood world tour, from hunter-gatherers in the Congo to contemporary suburban dads, and into her lab at USC, where she investigates how caregiving alters men’s biology—including their brain architecture and hormone levels. Ultimately, she offers powerful evidence that great dads are made, not born. When men devote time and care to their children, their physiology adapts to set them up for success—and they can discover a richer and more connected life.In the tradition of bestselling books such as Hunt, Gather, Parent and The Anxious Generation, Dad Brain blends science, culture, and personal narrative to offer an illuminating, research-based understanding of fatherhood that will become a must-read for all parents.

  Is global warming really happening? Is such a thing even possible? What does science say – and what about the Bible? And if it is happening, what should we do about it?In this thoughtful analysis, we take a look at the evidence presented by scientists and the scriptures, from the chemistry behind greenhouse gases to the Biblical account of the creation of the Earth, to help readers understand the differences between the two narratives and learn what the Bible really says about mankind’s responsibility to the Earth.It’s a must-read for anyone who’s affected by possible climate change and the responsibilities set upon mankind by God – which is to say, all of us.

  Visualization is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. At its core, visualization taps into the brain's ability to process imagery in a way that can lead to tangible changes in our lives. When we visualize, we engage not just our imagination but also activate neural pathways that enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their mental health, boost their self-esteem, or navigate challenging situations in life.

  The Honey Trap - How the Good...

  Dana L. Church

  The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
   
   
   
  Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
   
   
   
  With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.

  Beyond Global Warming - How...

  Syukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the world's most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries. 
   
   
   
  Joined by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming—and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and they provide rare insights into Manabe's own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planet's surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more.
