Sinopsis

"The Science Blink" explores the surprisingly complex world of blinking, a fundamental biological process essential for ocular health and linked to cognitive functions. This seemingly simple action is vital for lubricating the eyes, removing debris, and defending against irritants. Interestingly, blink rate is often suppressed during periods of high visual attention and increased during cognitive disengagement, suggesting a link between blinking and brain activity, offering insights into neurology and visual behavior. The book progresses from the anatomical and physiological foundations of blinking to its neurological underpinnings and the diverse factors that influence blink rates. Environmental conditions, individual factors, and even diseases like Parkinson's can affect how often we blink. "The Science Blink" presents this information in an accessible manner, drawing from peer-reviewed literature, clinical studies, and statistical data from fields like ophthalmology and physiology. It emphasizes real-world applications for improving eye care habits and understanding the impact of screen time on eye health, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the biology of vision and cognitive science.

    The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.

    With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award-winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take listeners beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. 
     
     
     
    From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. 
     
      
     
    With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. 
     
     
     
    Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. 
     
     
     
    The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.

    Of all the natural sciences there is not one which offers such sublime objects to the attention of the inquirer as does the science of astronomy. From the earliest ages the study of the stars has exercised the same fascination as it possesses at the present day. Among the most primitive peoples, the movements of the sun, the moon, and the stars commanded attention from their supposed influence on human affairs. From the days of Hipparchus down to the present hour the science of astronomy has steadily grown. One great observer after another has appeared from time to time, to reveal some new phenomenon with regard to the celestial bodies or their movements, while from time to time one commanding intellect after another has arisen to explain the true import of the facts of observations. The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due.  In the ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of astronomy has been created.  (from the Introduction)

    The more you learn about quantum physics, the more you wonder: Who is really creating your reality? Fear not: Dr. Quantum, superhero of spiritual science, is here to help you Meet the Real Creator—You! Join this champion of modern thought (sometimes known by his alter ego, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf) on a quest for truth through the strange reality of quantum physics.  
    Listeners will discover how we participate in the manifestation of each moment, why the universe only seems to be beyond our ability to control, and how we can use the principles of cutting-edge science to truly take charge of our lives. On this four-part journey into understanding, Dr. Quantum will unravel such mysteries as:Your "spiritual elephant"—who is really in control of your life from a quantum perspective? Quantum heaven, quantum hell—if we create our own reality, why do things happen that we don't want?" If I have a soul, why doesn't it do something?" How to open a dialogue between your "self" and "soul" Is there one soul, or are there many? A quantum perspective on the nature of self and other 
    Whether he's rescuing listeners from confusion about subatomic subtleties or breaking down the barriers between science and spirit, Dr. Wolf sets the standard for bringing quantum physics down to earth—and into our lives.
