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.

    Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
    If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
    The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
    Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.

    “Provocative and thrilling ... Loeb asks us to think big and to expect the unexpected.” 
    —Alan Lightman, New York Times bestselling author of Einstein’s Dreams and Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine 
     
    Harvard’s top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. 
     
     In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. 
     In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our species and our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars—and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.
