Sinopse

Unusual Human Talents explores the extraordinary cognitive and physical abilities found in certain individuals, challenging our understanding of human limitations. The book delves into the science behind these exceptional skills, examining the psychological and physiological factors that contribute to their development. For instance, the book considers people who can withstand extreme temperatures and studies the genetic or environmental factors that allow such physical resilience. Another area of focus is cognitive superiorities, such as exceptional memory, questioning if anyone can learn to memorize vast quantities of information. Drawing from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, physiology, and genetics, the book investigates memory champions, those with exceptional resilience to extreme environments, and individuals with advanced mathematical abilities. It begins by introducing core concepts and ethical considerations, then progresses through chapters dedicated to specific talents, providing a comprehensive understanding of what makes these individuals unique. By studying these exceptional individuals, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the brain and body's plasticity and unlock strategies for enhancing human performance.

    An astonishing collection of stories of extraterrestrial abduction, time travel, experimentation, teleportation, and alien-human hybrids.“Brad Steiger’s book does an excellent—indeed, essential—job of setting the scene and providing a foundation of the facts as they were known at the time it was written. It is to be hoped that, in time, this provocative and disturbing reality will come into ever greater focus.” —Whitley Strieber, from the forewordHere is the startling proof—in one comprehensive, eye-opening volume.Brad Steiger, the world-renowned authority on unexplained phenomena, presents a collection of UFO encounters and abductions. His provocative theories provide answers to the most puzzling questions: Why are they here? What do they want? And how will they change the fate of the human race?Included here are stories of airplane disappearances, alien experimentation, close encounters of many strange kinds, and hybrid children. Alternately entertaining and terrifying, this is a book for anyone who has gazed into the night sky and wondered if we are alone in the universe.

    Bestselling popular science author Dr. Joe Schwarcz breaks down the science of essential oils, placenta creams, intermittent fasting, and of course the spread of COVID-19 misinformation in this new collection from the master of demarcating non-science from science
    		 
    Science has gone viral! In more ways than one.
    		 
    Since we first heard rumblings about a novel type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, terms like pandemic, spike protein, viral particles, variants, mRNA vaccines, antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, social distancing, immune response, convalescent plasma, aerosol transmission, and of course, face coverings, have entered our everyday vocabulary. The scientific literature has exploded with studies exploring every facet of COVID-19, but unfortunately the “viral” spread of misinformation about the pandemic has also reached epic proportions.
    		 
    Science Goes Viral provides a framework for coming to grips with the onslaught of COVID-19 information and misinformation in this ever-changing pandemic. Here, you’ll learn about the first antibodies ever identified, the connection between tonic water and coronavirus, and whether we can zap COVID with copper. And although our thoughts and daily activities have been hijacked by the pandemic, life does go on, as does the pursuit of science. Dr. Joe features his usual array of diverse topics, including biblical dyes, essential oils, Jean Harlow’s hair, Lincoln’s magician, and bioplastics, along with assorted examples of quackery.
    		 
    Delving into the many fascinating facets of science can serve as a welcome distraction from the COVID curse. In fact, enchantment with science can also be contagious. Will you be infected?

    All over the world, life is returning — often where we least expect it. Wolves are roaming once-empty forests. Rivers, freed from their dams, are carving new paths. Meadows are blooming on forgotten farmland. Nature, long subdued, is finding its way back. 
    In Regrow, Alex Southwick explores the quiet revolution of rewilding — the global movement to restore ecosystems, revive biodiversity, and rekindle our relationship with the living world. From the Scottish Highlands to the savannas of Kenya, from urban green corridors to community-led restoration projects, Southwick meets the people proving that healing the Earth is not a dream, but a process already underway. 
    Blending science, storytelling, and hope, Regrow reveals that recovery is not only possible but astonishingly swift when given the chance. It’s a reminder that the planet’s wounds can be mended — and that rewilding nature begins with rewilding ourselves.

    Crystal structure and bonding are fundamental to understanding the physical properties of solid materials. A crystal is a solid material whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The smallest repeating unit of this structure is called the unit cell. The unit cell defines the crystal’s lattice parameters, including the edge lengths a,b,ca, b, c and the angles between them α,β,γ\alpha, \beta, \gamma. The crystal lattice is generated by translating the unit cell along its edges, forming the complete crystalline structure. 
    Crystals are classified according to their symmetry into seven crystal systems: cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal, and rhombohedral. Each system is characterized by specific symmetry elements such as mirror planes, rotation axes, and inversion centers. The Bravais lattices describe the 14 distinct lattice types that can fill three-dimensional space using translational symmetry. The atomic positions within a unit cell are described by fractional coordinates relative to the lattice vectors. In a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, atoms are located at the corners and the centers of the faces of the cube, while in a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, an additional atom is placed at the center of the cube.
