Summary

Unusual Gravity Effects explores the world's most puzzling gravitational anomalies and their impact on our understanding of physics and science. The book delves into locations where gravity seems to defy Newtonian physics, such as "gravity hills" where cars appear to roll uphill. These gravitational anomalies challenge our comprehension of gravitational fields and raise questions about the nature of gravity itself, and if our understanding of general relativity is complete. The book investigates reported instances of unusual gravity effects, from optical illusions to documented weight anomalies, and how geological anomalies may influence these phenomena. The book progresses by first laying the groundwork with fundamental physics concepts, then presenting specific cases of these effects around the world, and finally discussing theoretical explanations, including the potential role of dark matter. This approach aims to provide a balanced view, analyzing the evidence while acknowledging the limits of current science, making it valuable for science enthusiasts and students interested in physics.

    What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? 
     
    Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? 
     
    In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. 
     
    This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

    This program includes an epilogue and acknowledgements read by the author“A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.” --Kathy ReichsAs any reader or listener of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring—and popular—weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime, Dr. Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes—some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved—are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads listeners on a fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive—or don’t.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
