Sinossi

Brain Facts delves into the fascinating world of neuroscience, offering insights into brain anatomy, cognitive function, and the biological basis of human behavior. It explores how the brain's intricate networks shape our perceptions, memories, and decisions. The book begins with neurons and progresses to complex brain regions like the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum, explaining their roles in sensory processing, motor control, and emotional regulation.

 
A key focus is on synaptic plasticity, the process that underlies learning and memory, highlighting how experiences modify neural connections. The book then examines neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's and depression, detailing how these conditions disrupt normal brain activity. It discusses the latest research on treatments, from pharmacological interventions to brain stimulation, offering a balanced view of the challenges and opportunities in this field.

 
Using case studies, neuroimaging, and genetic analyses, it integrates findings from psychology, medicine, and computer science to provide a comprehensive understanding. This approach empowers readers to critically evaluate scientific claims about the brain and its functions. Brain Facts progresses from basic brain biology to complex cognitive processes and disorders, culminating in real-world applications of brain research.

 
It explores how neuroscience informs our understanding of learning disabilities, addiction, and mental health, and how brain-computer interfaces are revolutionizing neurological treatments. This comprehensive exploration fosters a deeper appreciation for the brain's incredible capabilities, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in the science behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

    Like most parents, Amy and Jeffrey Olrick left the hospital with their first child desperate to know, "What do we do?" But years of parenting three kids and Jeffrey's work as a child psychologist convinced them to ask a better question: "How shall I be with this new person?"  
    In a culture obsessed with parenting formulas, it's easy to miss the fact that science and lived experience have proven that human development and thriving are a matter of relationship. Drawing on decades of psychological research, neuroscience, and their own experience as parents and people of faith, the Olricks present six relational needs for human growth that will transform the way you think about your child--and yourself. Together, the needs form a trustworthy compass to guide you and your child to a path of purpose and relational wholeness. 
    For parents who feel pulled in a hundred directions, dizzied by the volume of clashing strategies, and jaded by the parenting programs that complicated their own childhoods, The 6 Needs of Every Child is a groundbreaking roadmap integrating the science of connection with practical tools. You'll be equipped with:An in-depth look at the six essentials your child needs to thriveTools to use when you feel stuckThe secret to secure connection with your childSelf-assessment tools to discern your unique parenting style 
    More than a parenting guide, this audiobook is your invitation to break free from the myth of perfect parenting and embrace your child's long journey of growth. With insight, humor, and compassion, it calls parents to discover the power of being imperfectly present with their children, developing mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience that will sustain them for a lifetime. 
    Accompanying charts, assessment tools, and additional resources are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    In The Great Upheaval, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt examine higher and postsecondary education to see how it has changed to become what it is today—and how it might be refitted for an uncertain future. 
     
     
     
    Taking a unique historical, cross-industry perspective, Levine and Van Pelt perform a 360-degree survey of American higher education. Combining historical, trend, and comparative analysis of other business sectors, they ask 
     
     
     
    ● how much will colleges and universities change, what will change, and how will these changes occur? 
     
     
     
    ● will institutions of higher learning be able to adapt to the challenges they face, or will they be disrupted by them? 
     
     
     
    ● will the industrial model of higher education be repaired or replaced? 
     
     
     
    ● why is higher education more important than ever? 
     
     
     
    The book is neither an attempt to advocate for a particular future direction nor a warning about that future. Rather, it looks objectively at the contexts in which higher education has operated—and will continue to operate. It also seeks to identify likely developments that will aid those involved in steering higher education forward, as well as the many millions of Americans who have a stake in its future.

    Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II. 
    That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934. 
    Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise the area that eventually became the modern nation of Montenegro has had a turbulent history for millennia, with shifting borders, different degrees of autonomy, and various conflicts occurring within it.
