Summary

In "The Whys and Wherefores of Navigation," Gershom Bradford presents a profound exploration of the principles and intricacies of navigation through a blend of historical narrative, practical insight, and theoretical discourse. The text delves into various navigation methods, from ancient celestial techniques to contemporary technological advancements. Bradford's eloquent yet accessible prose style invites both scholars and enthusiasts alike, as he weaves in anecdotes and cultural references that enrich the reader's understanding of navigation as not only a scientific endeavor but also a vital human experience across epochs. Gershom Bradford, a noted maritime historian and seasoned navigator, draws upon years of rigorous scholarship and personal maritime adventures to craft this compelling volume. His diverse background, comprising sailing expeditions and scholarly research, informs his holistic approach to navigating the complexities of the seas, making his work a vital contribution to both maritime literature and the broader discourse of exploration. Bradford's commitment to demystifying navigation stems from a profound respect for those who have navigated the oceans before us, illuminating their struggles and triumphs. I highly recommend "The Whys and Wherefores of Navigation" to readers seeking to understand not only the mechanics of navigation but also its philosophical and cultural significance. Whether you are a seasoned sailor, a history aficionado, or a curious learner, Bradford's insightful analysis will inspire you to appreciate navigation's essential role in human progress and adventure.

    How do magicians make us see the impossible? The Illusionist Brain takes you on an unforgettable journey through the inner workings of the human mind, revealing how magicians achieve their spectacular and seemingly impossible effects by interfering with your cognitive processes. Along the way, this lively and informative book provides a guided tour of modern neuroscience, using magic as a lens for understanding the unconscious and automatic functioning of our brains. 
     
     
     
    We construct reality from the information stored in our memories and received through our senses, and our brains are remarkably adept at tricking us into believing that our experience is continuous. In fact, our minds create our perception of reality by elaborating meanings and continuities from incomplete information, and while this strategy carries clear benefits for survival, it comes with blind spots that magicians know how to exploit. Jordi Camí and Luis Martínez explore the many different ways illusionists manipulate our attention and take advantage of our individual predispositions and fragile memories. 
     
     
     
    The Illusionist Brain draws on the latest findings in neuroscience to explain how magic deceives us, surprises us, and amazes us, and demonstrates how illusionists skillfully "hack" our brains to alter how we perceive things and influence what we imagine.

    With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. 
     
    Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound.  
     
    Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
