Brainwaves and Consciousness - Unraveling the Mysteries of the Mind

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In this groundbreaking book, Pasquale De Marco takes us on a captivating journey to explore the enigma of consciousness. Drawing on the latest scientific research and philosophical theories, Pasquale De Marco offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of this extraordinary phenomenon.

We begin our journey by delving into the intricate relationship between consciousness and the brain. We explore the neural correlates of consciousness, the role of different brain regions in conscious experience, and the mechanisms that give rise to our subjective awareness. We also examine altered states of consciousness, such as dreams, meditation, and psychedelic experiences, and investigate the insights they offer into the nature of consciousness.

Next, we turn our attention to the evolution of consciousness. We trace the development of consciousness from its origins in simple organisms to the emergence of complex consciousness in humans. We explore the evolutionary pressures that may have driven the development of consciousness and consider the possibility of consciousness in other species. We also examine the potential for artificial intelligence to develop consciousness and the implications of this for our understanding of consciousness and our place in the universe.

We then delve into the clinical study of consciousness. We examine disorders of consciousness, such as coma and vegetative states, and explore the challenges of diagnosing and treating these conditions. We also investigate the use of consciousness-altering substances, such as anesthetics and psychedelic drugs, and discuss their potential therapeutic applications.

Finally, we explore the philosophical implications of consciousness. We examine the relationship between consciousness and free will, the nature of reality, and the meaning of life. We consider the hard problem of consciousness and the challenges it poses for our understanding of the mind-body relationship. We also discuss the ethical implications of consciousness research and the need to balance scientific inquiry with respect for human dignity.

Throughout the book, Pasquale De Marco weaves together scientific Erkenntnisse, philosophical insights, and personal reflections to create a rich and engaging exploration of consciousness. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the mysteries of the mind and the nature of reality.

Berlin: Victory in Europe

Nik Cornish

In April and May 1945 the city of Berlin was the site of the final destructive act of the Second World War in Europe. The German capital became a battleground. After three weeks of ruthless fighting against a desperate, sometimes suicidal, defense, the Red Army took the city and crushed the last remaining German armies in the East. This momentous battle and the elaborate preparations for it were recorded in graphic detail by photographers whose images have come down to us today. These images, which give us an unforgettable glimpse into the grim reality of mid-twentieth-century warfare, are the raw material of Nik Cornishs evocative book.Using a rich selection of rare photographs from the Russian archives as well as images from German sources, most of which have not been published before, he traces the course of the entire campaign. The battles fought in East Prussia, eastern Germany and Hungary  in particular the assault on Budapest  are covered. But the body of his book is devoted to the battle for Berlin itself—the monstrous onslaught launched by Zhukovs armies on the Seelow Heights, the bitter street fighting through the suburbs, then the ultimate confrontation, the merciless room-by-room struggle for the center of the city and the Reichstag.

Hidden Healers - The Unexpected...

Stephanie Covington

A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
 
 
 
With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.
