  An internationally renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Wenk has been educating college and medical students about the brain and lecturing around the world for more than 40 years. With this essential book, he vividly demonstrates how a little knowledge about the foods and drugs we eat can teach us a lot about how our brain functions. The information is presented in an irreverent and non-judgmental manner, making it highly accessible to high school teenagers, inquisitive college students, and worried parents. Dr. Wenk has skillfully blended the highest scholarly standards with illuminating insights, gentle humor, and welcome simplicity. The intersection between brain science, drugs, food, and our cultural and religious traditions is plainly illustrated in an entirely new light.
   
  Wenk tackles fundamental questions, including:
  
  Why do you wake up tired from a good long sleep and why does your sleepy brain crave coffee and donuts?
  How can understanding a voodoo curse explain why it is so hard to stop smoking?
  Why is a vegetarian or gluten-free diet not always the healthier option for the brain?
  How can liposuction improve brain function?

  This powerful collection, depicting the events of the Great War at sea, showcases the work of the contemporary combat artists and illustrators from the Great War era. The result is a stunning and vivid graphic record of life and death on the high-seas from 1914-18, as reported to contemporary audiences at a time when the events of the Great War were still unfolding. During the Great War artists and illustrators produced a highly accurate visual record of the fleeting moments the bulky cameras couldn't reproduce. These works form a body ofwar reportage that are as valid as the written word. Today, the work of the combat illustrators and the official war artists from the Great War era is overlooked by historians in favour of photographs, but these illustrations are nonetheless important, as they provide a contemporary record of hand-to-hand fighting, trench raids, aerial dogfights, sea battles, desperate last stands, night actions and cavalry charges.

To research her books, Sy has traveled the world and encountered some of the planet's rarest and most beautiful animals. From tarantulas to tigers, Sy's life continually intersects with and is informed by the creatures she meets.This restorative memoir reflects on the personalities and quirks of 13 animals — Sy's friends — and the truths revealed by their grace. It also explores vast themes: the otherness and sameness of people and animals; the various ways we learn to love and become empathetic; how we find our passion; how we create our families; coping with loss and despair; gratitude; forgiveness; and most of all, how to be a good creature in the world.

  How to Love the Universe - A...

  An eye-opening celebration of the marvels of space, time, the cosmos, and more.How to Love the Universe is a new kind of science writing by an author truly enamored of the world around him. In 10 short chapters of lyrical prose — each one an ode to a breathtaking realm of discovery — Stefan Klein uses everyday objects and events as a springboard to meditate on the beauty of the underlying science.Klein sees in a single rose the sublime interdependence of all life; a day of stormy weather points to the world's unpredictability; a marble conjures the birth of the cosmos. As he contemplates the deepest mysteries — the nature of reality, dark matter, humanity's place among the galaxies, and more — Klein encourages us to fall in love with the universe the way scientists do: with a grasp of the key ideas and theories of 21st-century physics that bring to life the wonders of, really, everything.You won't look at a rose — or at our world — the same way again.
