Sinossi

Night Vision explores the science and art of seeing in the dark, examining how humans and animals perceive low-light environments and how manga artists interpret and exaggerate this ability. The book uniquely bridges the gap between scientific analysis and artistic expression, revealing how understanding vision science informs our interpretation of visual storytelling. Did you know that the size of an animal's pupils directly impacts how well it can see in the dark? Or that the rod-cone system in our eyes plays a pivotal role in light perception? 

 
The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of vision and the physiological adaptations that enable night vision, such as pupillary dilation and the function of photoreceptor cells. From there, it explores the diversity of night vision capabilities across the animal kingdom, highlighting evolutionary adaptations in creatures like owls and cats. Finally, it analyzes how night vision is represented in manga, focusing on artistic techniques used to depict darkness and enhanced vision.

 
By connecting fields like biology, art, and media studies, Night Vision provides a comprehensive understanding of how we perceive and represent the world around us. It is valuable to students, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of science, nature, and visual culture.

    A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists 
    What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it. 
    Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family. 
    The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

    Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

    This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

    If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts. 
    People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly. 
    But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups. 
    The book describes how attachment disorders affect adults, what they look like, and how to recognize them. It discusses the different types of attachment disorders, such as secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, disorganized, and unresolved, and describes how they are diagnosed and treated. The authors discuss common comorbidities associated with ADs, including anxiety disorder, mood disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma exposure. 
    The Vanessa Alvarez explains why people develop these disorders, and he provides advice on how to help someone who suffers from one. She also includes suggestions for parents, teachers, and therapists.
