Synopsis

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.

  • The Shifting Twenty-First Century Presidency - Assessing the Implications for America and the World - cover

    The Shifting Twenty-First...

    The role and range of the American presidency has undergone significant changes in the twenty-first century, with George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden transforming the office in distinct ways. Many but not all of these changes stem from the numerous crises of this young century: 9/11 and the resulting war on terror, Hurricane Katrina, the Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the social unrest of 2020. 
     
     
     
    While crisis brings rapid change, there are other factors at work as well. Increased polarization has led presidents of both parties to press existing rules and norms to their limits in an attempt to accomplish more during their brief tenures. The result is a lot of policy and structural change in a short period, including new cabinet departments, new election rules, and significantly increased spending and debt, among other things. For the most part, these changes have occurred with little thought to what it all means for the functionality and stability of our democratic institutions and, consequently, our nation's capacity to address the needs as well as the aspirations of the American people. The Bipartisan Policy Center's Tevi Troy has brought together a group of presidential scholars and political experts to address these important issues and to reflect on how the presidency has changed and what it might mean for the future.

    Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD? 
    Can you no longer cope with your partner’s behavior? 
    Does attention deficit disorder strain your romantic relationship? 
      
    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause misunderstandings, frustrations and resentments; even in close-knit romantic relationships. 
      
    There are lots of couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. All of this can become a dark tunnel with no way out. 
      
    If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD: 
    ·       You may feel tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship. 
    ·       You may feel angry and emotionally blocked. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse. 
    ·       You may feel lonely, ignored and unappreciated. 
    ·       You don't feel like you can count on your partner. You always have to organize everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness. 
    ·       You feel frustrated. A non-ADHD spouse might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again. 
    ·       Sometimes it seems that your partner doesn't care about you. 
    ·       You feel exhausted and depleted. The non-ADHD spouse carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship. 
      
    You deserve better! 
      
    If you would like a book that will help you to finally understand why your spouse acts in certain ways and enables you to make their lives and your own life better, then this book is for you! 
      
    The light at the end of the dark tunnel can be found!

    A fascinating exploration of the natural history of scent and human perceptions of fragrance from the viewpoint of plant and pollinator 
     
     
     
    Plants have long harnessed the chemical characteristics of aromatic compounds to shape the world around them. Frankincense resin from the genus Boswellia seals injured tissues and protects trees from invading pathogens. Jasmine produces a molecule called linalool that attracts pollinating moths with its flowery scent. Tobacco uses a similarly sweet-smelling compound called benzyl acetone to attract pollinators. Only recently in the evolutionary history of plants, however, have humans learned to co-opt their fragrances to seduce, heal, protect, and alter moods themselves. 
     
     
      
    In this wide-ranging and accessible new book, biologist-turned-perfumer Elise Vernon Pearlstine turns our human-centered perception of fragrance on its head and investigates plants' evolutionary reasons for creating aromatic molecules. Delving into themes of spirituality, wealth, power, addiction, royalty, fantasy, and more, Pearlstine uncovers the natural history of aromatic substances and their intersection with human culture and civilization.
