  Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
   
   
   
  We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
   
   
   
  Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.

  A classic account of the relationship between the human brain and the human mind 
  Can the mind be explained by what we know about the brain? Is a person’s being determined by their body alone or by their mind and body as separate elements? In this incisive and engaging book, Wilder Penfield, whose work pioneered such research, shares insights into these and other questions, providing an in-depth look at the function of the brain and its relationship to the action of the mind. With a foreword by Charles W. Hendel, an introduction by William Feindel, and reflections by Sir Charles Symonds, The Mystery of the Mind is Penfield’s compelling personal account of his experiences as a neurosurgeon and scientist observing the inner workings of the brain in conscious patients.

  Are you looking for a way to learn the basic principles of physics in the easiest way possible? Many students will agree if you tell them that Physics is a challenging subject. It’s true! From understanding Newton’s Law to exploring how energy works, to how electric and magnetic fields are intertwined. Physics is a complicated subject. 
  The problem with many books about Physics is that they are often outdated and it makes learning the subject even more difficult. Many resources that are used in the school as students’ learning material are written long before the students are born. 
  The problem is not with YOU but with the resources you use to learn. You need a book that is written on the same level of your understanding. 
  Here’s what you’ll get:Comprehensive Topics on Physics: From the history of the basic principles to the application of the rules and logic, this book covers everything you need to know!Simplified Explanations on Basic Concepts: With the fundamental principles explained straightforwardly, you’ll no longer worry about your learning process!Simplified Formulas: No alien alphabets in this book, you are assured. The little Formulas in here are explained in an easy-peasy way! Don't panic. In short: highly digestible brain food!And so much more!

  The Future of Seeing - How...

  Daniel K. Sodickson

  Over the centuries, we have learned to peer into what was once invisible. Imaging devices like cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and MRI machines map the world around, beyond, and within us in ways the naked eye could never see. In so doing, these technologies have transformed our understanding of our place in the universe and our conception of our own bodies―and we may be on the cusp of an even greater revolution.Daniel K. Sodickson―a physicist and biomedical imaging innovator―explores the rich history and surprising future of vision, from the evolution of eyes to emerging high-tech devices. Beginning in the early oceans, when organisms first developed sight, The Future of Seeing tells the stories of the many remarkable tools people have invented to extend our natural vision. Ranging from the tales of brilliant inventors to profiles of everyday people, this book shows how imaging has transformed the practice of medicine, reshaped the global economy, and complicated the notion of privacy. In the era of artificial intelligence, Sodickson argues, it will be reinvented even further, emulating not only our senses but also our brains. Inviting and eye-opening, The Future of Seeing is a revelatory look at what imaging teaches us about the way we see the world, each other, and ourselves.
