Becoming Batman - The...

E. Paul Zehr, James Kakalios

Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: Could a mortal ever become Batman? 
 
 
 
Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. He also tells us what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit and the amount of food we'd need to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian. 
 
 
 
A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

The Critique of Pure Reason

Immanuel Kant

The Critique of Pure Reason is a philosophical work written by Immanuel Kant, published in 1781. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part deals with what Kant calls "Transcendental Aesthetic," which is concerned with the nature of space and time and the way in which our minds perceive them. The second part deals with what Kant calls "Transcendental Logic," which is concerned with the nature of our understanding and how we reason about the world.
In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant aims to investigate the limits and conditions of knowledge, particularly in the context of metaphysics. He argues that all knowledge must be based on experience, but that our understanding is not limited to the information that we can gain through our senses. Rather, he posits that we have certain innate concepts and categories that allow us to make sense of the world and that shape our perception and understanding of reality.
Kant's approach to metaphysics is known as transcendental idealism, which holds that the world as it appears to us is not necessarily the same as it is in itself. He argues that we can only know the world as it appears to us, not as it is in itself, and that our knowledge is necessarily limited by the nature of our minds and our perception.
Overall, the Critique of Pure Reason is a complex and influential work that has had a profound impact on philosophy, particularly in the fields of epistemology and metaphysics. It is considered a foundational text of modern philosophy and is still widely studied and debated today.
