Beschreibung

"Science of Laughter" explores the multifaceted nature of laughter, bridging subjective human experiences with objective scientific analysis. It investigates laughter's biological underpinnings, psychological impact, and social significance.

 
Delving into the neurobiology of mirth, the book examines which brain regions are activated during laughter and the roles of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It explains how laughter serves as a sophisticated signaling system that fosters cooperation, reduces stress, and strengthens relationships.

 
The book uniquely integrates neurobiological, evolutionary, and social perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of laughter. Starting with historical attempts to define laughter, it progresses through the neurobiological mechanisms, evolutionary origins, and social dimensions of mirth, drawing on diverse data sources like neuroimaging studies and behavioral experiments.

 
By understanding laughter, one can unlock fundamental truths about human connection and brain function.

    A straightforward and fact-based exploration of how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science answers major questions about Earth as a system 
     
     
      
    Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental topics of our day. To answer criticisms and synthesize available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing. 
     
     
      
    Renowned environmental scientist and educator John D. Aber distills what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.

    Artificial intelligence is everywhere—it’s in our houses and phones and cars. AI makes decisions about what we should buy, watch, and read, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals, combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent, and who goes to jail . . .But most of us don’t understand how AI works. We hardly know what it is.In "Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?", AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at AI’s heart, demonstrating its potential and exposing its shortfalls. Wenger empowers readers to answer the question—What exactly is AI?—at a time when its hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger.

    A Silent Spring for our era, this eloquent, urgent, fascinating book reveals how just fifty years of swift and dangerous oceanic change threatens the very existence of life on Earth. Legendary marine scientist Sylvia Earle portrays a planet teetering on the brink of irreversible environmental crisis. 
     
     
     
    In recent decades we've learned more about the ocean than in all previous human history combined. But, even as our knowledge has exploded, so too has our power to upset the delicate balance of this complex organism. Modern overexploitation has driven many species to the verge of extinction. Since the mid-twentieth century about half our coral reefs have died or suffered sharp decline; hundreds of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" blight our coastal waters; and toxic pollutants afflict every level of the food chain. 
     
     
     
    Fortunately, there is reason for hope, but what we do—or fail to do—in the next ten years may well resonate for the next ten thousand. The ultimate goal, Earle argues passionately and persuasively, is to find responsible, renewable strategies that safeguard the natural systems that sustain us. The first step is to understand and act upon the wise message of this accessible, insightful, and compelling book.

    SWEET SPOT UX 
    This book will help you, the UX designer, develop a communication style that your business stakeholders or clients will understand, and elevate your career towards 
    better UX strategy and leadership. 
    This is not your typical UX book — it doesn’t focus on the things they teach you in a UX crash course. It won’t bombard you with a whole load of new techniques or preach about how to do UX design properly. What it will do is help you find ways to apply your craft more effectively inside your business by understanding better ways of communicating and building alignment within your organisation, or your client’s organisation. 
    WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? 
    Often, the hardest part of UX isn’t knowing how to do the various methods — you can learn that stuff easily with little effort — it is taking the business you work for, and its stakeholders, on the journey to help them fully realise the value that UX brings. This book collects strategies and techniques from other UX professionals, combined with my own learnings and expertise, to guide you to a better UX practice of alignment between you, your business and its customers.
