Summary

"Fun Brain Chemistry" delves into the fascinating world of neurotransmitters and their profound influence on human behavior, mood, and cognitive function. This accessible guide tackles the complex relationship between microscopic molecules in our brains and our daily experiences, presenting cutting-edge neuroscience research in a digestible format for readers with basic science knowledge.

 
The book systematically explores major neurotransmitter systems, including dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, revealing how these chemical messengers shape everything from our decision-making abilities to emotional responses. Through clear explanations and practical "Chemistry in Action" sections, readers learn how lifestyle choices directly impact brain chemistry.

 
Particularly compelling are the insights into the gut-brain connection and the latest discoveries in neuroplasticity, demonstrating how our brains continue to adapt and change throughout life. Starting with fundamental biochemistry and progressing to practical applications, the text bridges multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of mental wellness.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to controversial topics and its integration of evidence-based strategies for optimizing brain chemistry through diet, exercise, and stress management. The inclusion of age-specific considerations and real-world case studies makes the content relevant and applicable for diverse readers, from healthcare professionals to curious individuals seeking to understand the biological basis of their behaviors.

    Anthony Trollope’s novels contain vivid character sketches of clergy, from bishops to curates, as watchers of the BBC TV Barchester series will know. Here are priests where snobbery, jealousy, ambition and greed sit alongside love, kindness and generosity, often in equal measure.

 
Alongside each of his twelve pictures of Trollopian priests, Michael Higgins has created their modern counterparts, Trollope’s Church of England may have been better attended and more prosperous than it is today yet the humble, quiet and attractive Mr Harding and the climbing ambitious Mr Slope still walk the streets of our parishes. They stand as living proof human nature never changes, the simple truth underlined by each pair of characters in this book.

 
Here is a gripping, thought provoking read which will tell you more about clergy than you knew or imagined – whether you are “into” Church matters or a curious outsider.

    What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
In We Can't Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
We can't run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Turba Philosophorum, also known as Assembly of the Philosophers, is one of the oldest European alchemy texts, translated from the Arabic, like the Picatrix. It is considered to have been written c. 900 A.D. To quote Plessner, "the Turba Philosophorum, written c. 900 A.D., is a well planned and, from a literary point of view, a most remarkable attempt to put Greek alchemy into the Arabic language and to adapt it to Islamic science". Nine philosophers take part in a discussion, being, once the text has been transcribed back to the original Arabic, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Archelaus, Leucippus, Ecphantus, Pythagoras and Xenophanes. The statements of the philosophers, whilst usually different from the known beliefs of the pre-Socratics, are usually recognisable as outgrowths of Greek philosophy. They discuss matter, how it acts, and relate this to cosmology, with three theses presented by Xenophanes in his closing speech, being, again from Plessner: "1) The creator of the World is Allah, the God of Islam; 2) The world is of a uniform nature; 3) All creatures of the upper as well as of the lower world are composed of all four elements.

    Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

    Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.
