Synopsis

"Fighting Reflexes" explores the science behind combat abilities, using the exaggerated world of manga to illuminate the real-world potential of human reflexes and motor skills. This unique approach bridges the gap between science and fiction, appealing to a broad audience interested in psychology, biology, and human performance. The book delves into the intricacies of reflex speed, reaction time, and muscle memory, revealing how these elements combine to create the impressive fighting techniques often seen in manga.

One intriguing insight is how anticipation and pattern recognition can significantly enhance reaction speed, a principle observed in both sports and combat training. Another key takeaway is the process by which repeated actions are encoded into the motor cortex, enabling fluid and automatic movements.

The book progresses systematically, establishing a scientific baseline by detailing the neural pathways and muscle physiology involved in reflexes, reaction time, and muscle memory. It then examines how these elements are enhanced through training, drawing parallels between manga fighting styles and real-world training methodologies. Finally, the book synthesizes these elements by analyzing iconic combat sequences from manga, explaining the underlying biology and exploring potential practical applications in sports, rehabilitation, and virtual reality.

By using manga as a case study, "Fighting Reflexes" makes complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging, offering a fresh perspective on human capabilities.

Ground Truth - How Technology...

Stefan Martinovic

Discover the invisible infrastructure reshaping the world’s largest asset class. 
For over a century, commercial real estate operated on an analog playbook. Deals were won through local monopolies, personal Rolodexes, and a "ledger-in-head" mentality. Investment committees relied on out-of-date demographic reports, primitive paper maps, and the subjective "gut feel" of seasoned operators. 
That era is over. The latency between asking a question and answering it has approached zero, and the competitive edge has fundamentally shifted. 
In Ground Truth: How Technology, Capital, and Climate Are Rewiring Real Estate, developer and technologist Stefan Martinovic delivers a definitive, insider’s guide to the structural transformation of the built environment. Moving far beyond tech-industry hype, Martinovic introduces the Ladder of Dimensions (1D to 6D)—a rigorous taxonomy that explains how data layers, autonomous AI agents, and environmental performance are actively reshaping how capital is deployed. 
Whether you are an institutional investor navigating risk, a mid-market operator scaling an acquisition pipeline, a PropTech founder building the next vertical platform, or a student charting the future of urban development, this book is your blueprint for a rewired industry. 
Buildings are built for the human nervous system, but they are being optimized by a digital stack. Learn how to master the ground truth of the modern market.

Her Space Her Time - How...

Shohini Ghose

Women physicists and astronomers from around the world have transformed science and society, but the critical roles they played in their fields are not always well-sung. Her Space, Her Time, authored by award-winning quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, brings together the stories of these remarkable women to celebrate their indelible scientific contributions. 
 
 
 
In each chapter, Ghose explores a scientific topic and explains how the women featured revolutionized that area of physics and astronomy. In doing so, she also addresses particular aspects of women's experiences in physics and astronomy: in the chapter on time, for instance, we learn of Henrietta Leavitt and Margaret Burbidge, who helped discover the big bang and the cosmic calendar; in the chapter on space exploration, we learn of Anigaduwagi (Cherokee) aerospace scientist Mary Golda Ross, who helped make the Moon landings possible; and in the chapter on subatomic particles, we learn of Marietta Blau, Hertha Wambacher, and Bibha Chowdhuri, who contributed to the discovery of the building blocks of the universe. 
 
 
 
Her Space, Her Time is a story of scientific innovation, inspirational leadership, and overcoming invisibility that will leave a lasting impression on any listener curious about the rule-breakers and trendsetters who illuminated our understanding of the universe.

Grace Hopper

Grace Brewster Hopper (December 9, 1906 to January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language and COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. She is credited with writing the first computer manual, "A Manual of Operation for the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator." The following audio recording is from a 1982 presentation.
