Summary

This book contains Francis Bacon's treatise on the excellence of learning and knowledge. In this book, Bacon considers the best way of sharing knowledge, what has been done, and what needs to be done. In this book, Bacon proceeds to divide knowledge into three kingdoms namely; history, poetry, and philosophy. These divisions appeal directly to the three manifestations of human understanding, memory, imagination, and reason.

    The true story of one museum, two thieves, and the Boston underworld: “Boser cracks the cold case of the art world’s greatest unsolved mystery.” —Vanity Fair 
 
Shortly after midnight on March 18, 1990, two men broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and committed the largest art heist in history. They stole a dozen masterpieces, including one Vermeer, three Rembrandts, and five Degas. But after thousands of leads, hundreds of interviews, and a $5 million reward, not a single painting has been recovered. Worth as much as half a billion dollars, the missing masterpieces have become the Holy Grail of the art world and their theft one of the nation’s most extraordinary unsolved mysteries. 
 
Art detective Harold Smith worked the theft for years, and after his death, reporter Ulrich Boser decided to pick up where he left off. Traveling deep into the art underworld, Boser explores Smith’s unfinished leads and comes across a remarkable cast of characters, including a brilliant rock ’n’ roll art thief and a golden-boy gangster who professes his innocence in rhyming verse. A tale of greed, obsession, and loss, The Gardner Heist is as compelling as the stolen masterpieces themselves.

    Sleep. Memory. Pleasure. Fear. Language. We experience these things every day, but how do our brains create them?    
 
Your Brain, Explained is a personal tour around your gray matter. Neuroscientist Marc Dingman gives you a crash course in how your brain works and explains the latest research on the brain functions that affect you on a daily basis.   
 
You'll also discover what happens when the brain doesn't work the way it should, causing problems such as insomnia, ADHD, depression, or addiction. You'll learn how neuroscience is working to fix these problems, and how you can build up your defenses against the most common faults of the mind.   
 
Along the way, you'll find out: why brain training games don't prevent dementia; what it's like to remember every day of your life as if it were yesterday; which popular psychiatric drug was created from German rocket fuel; and how you might unknowingly be sabotaging your sleep.
