Sinopse

'Surprising Traits' offers a fascinating exploration of human capabilities and behavioral patterns, challenging traditional views of human potential through a compelling blend of scientific research and real-world case studies. The book weaves together insights from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology to demonstrate how human variation contributes to society's collective strength and resilience. Through examination of diverse individuals, from legendary composers to everyday people, the text illuminates how different capabilities and traits serve essential roles in our communities.

 
The book progresses through three main sections, beginning with an in-depth look at the biological foundations of human diversity, supported by current genomic research. It then delves into the fascinating world of skill development, using case studies from various cultures and backgrounds to illustrate how individuals acquire and perfect their unique abilities. The final section examines how people across different capability levels find contentment and purpose, challenging conventional notions of success and achievement.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to understanding human potential, combining rigorous academic research with accessible explanations and practical insights. Drawing from neuroplasticity studies and longitudinal research, the book demonstrates how individuals develop distinct capabilities while finding meaningful roles within their communities. This balanced perspective on human traits and development offers valuable insights for educators, psychologists, and anyone interested in understanding the remarkable diversity of human potential.

    Are you struggling with your child's ADHD? Are you worried that they will be marginalised or laughed at, at school or with friends, because of their special needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to your child’s ADHD and its related issues and concerns? 
      
      
    Yes, it’s true; all children lose focus and can be hyperactive, especially when they are anxious or excited. 
      
    But when a child is constantly overwhelmed by emotions, memory lapses and inattention in differing contexts, this can undermine both self-esteem and social life. 
     Parents have to do something. 
      
    For parents, it is difficult to accept that their child has been diagnosed with ADHD. They see their child as naturally curious, full of life and intelligent. 
      
    Parenting a child with ADHD brings both joys and challenges. I recommend that you read this book if you recognise these behaviours in your child. 
      
    But let me tell you this: 
    Being an unprepared parent will only make the situation worse. Unnecessary guilt, inevitable frustration and misunderstanding will only make your child feel stupid and a failure. 
    This is absolutely NOT TRUE, and it doesn't have to be this way. 
      
    But do not worry! 
    Children with ADHD can lead perfectly normal lives as long as their parents know how to address their needs early and can thrive with them. 
     Listen to this audiobook now will help you to understand how your baby's brain works. It will be greatly rewarding to see your child improve with friends, at home, at school and in every area of life.The best gift you can give him to guarantee him a prosperous and peaceful life!

  • Running After Paradise - Hope Survival and Activism in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest - cover

    Running After Paradise - Hope...

    Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is a paradise to many. In Southern Bahia, surfers, billionaires, travelers, and hippies mingle with environmentalists, family farmers, quilombolas (descendants of formerly enslaved people), and nativos, or “locals.” Each of these groups has connections to the unique environment, culture, and character of this region as their home, their source of a livelihood, or perhaps their vacation escape. And while these connections sometimes converge, at other times they clash. 
    The pressures on this tropical forest are palpable, and people’s responses to these pressures are also varied. What was once the state’s economic mainstay, cacao production, is only now beginning to make a comeback after a disease decimated the crops of large and small farmers alike. Tourism, another economic hope, is susceptible to economic crises and pandemics. And the threat of a massive state-led infrastructure project involving mining, a railroad, and an international port has loomed over the region for well over a decade. 
    Southern Bahia is at a crossroads: develop a sustainable, forest-based economy or risk losing the identity and soul of this place forevermore. Through the lives of environmentalists, farmers, quilombolas, and nativos—people who are in and of this place—this book brings the people alive who are grappling with this dilemma. 
    Anthropologist Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons brings the eye of a storyteller to present this complex struggle, weaving in her own challenges of balancing family and fieldwork alongside the stories of the people who live in this dynamic region. Intertwined tales, friendships, and hope emerge as people both struggle to sustain their lives in a biodiversity hotspot and strive to create their paradise. 
    For those interested, this book is also available in e-book and physical print formats, which contain the table of contents, maps, acknowledgements, pictures of the people and stories featured, footnotes, references, and an index.

    The Pyramids of Giza -...

    The story of the Pyramids of Giza begins long before the massive limestone structures rose on the western edge of the Nile. To understand their origins, one must look back to the early burial traditions of ancient Egypt, where the desire to honor and protect the dead laid the foundation for increasingly complex funerary architecture. In the earliest periods, Egypt's elite were buried in simple rectangular tombs called mastabas, built from mudbrick and later stone. These low, flat structures served as a prototype for more ambitious designs that would come to define ancient Egypt’s monumental legacy. 
    As the Egyptian state grew more centralized during the Early Dynastic Period and into the Old Kingdom, the architectural evolution of tombs became a symbol of royal power and divine authority. The concept of the king as a god on earth demanded a burial structure that reflected his eternal status. This shift led to the experimentation with stepped designs, culminating in the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, designed by the architect Imhotep during the Third Dynasty. This innovation marked the beginning of the pyramid as a distinct architectural form and demonstrated a newfound mastery of stone construction. 
    With each successive generation, the ambition behind royal tombs expanded. The transition from stepped to smooth-sided pyramids represented not just an aesthetic shift but a symbolic one, intended to reflect the pharaoh's journey to the heavens. By the time the Fourth Dynasty began, kings such as Sneferu pioneered structural advancements, including multiple attempts at pyramid design that culminated in the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. These efforts set the stage for the apex of pyramid construction: the Pyramids of Giza.

    Do you believe in God? If so, which one? Is it the Christian all-knowing, all-seeing father of Jesus? Is it Allah of Islam? The many deities of Hinduism? Or are you one of those that believes in God but not religion? 
     
    Whichever box you tick on the form, you have some kind of belief. Even if you're an atheist, you believe there is no God. That we all came from nothing. But there are massive questions that mankind has asked from the very beginning. Where did everything come from? Is there a meaning to our lives? Are we alone in the universe? 
     
    These questions and many more have fascinated mankind from the moment he could reason. And eventually we created a thing called science to discover the answers. To many, science eradicated the need for God to answer all the questions we could not answer. Delete faith and replace with scientific facts. The problem is that science has not yet answered all of the questions and many believe it never will. Or has it? 
     
    Today we are beginning to understand the complexities and even strangeness of the sub-atomic world. This new quantum realm is opening up new avenues of research and new inventions. All things are made of particles. The entire universe is formed from them. And now we are creating quantum computers that think at the quantum level. What answers will the union of artificial intelligence and this amazing quantum world bring? Will we now have the answers to the ultimate questions? 
     
    This is the story of the new scientific world of particle physics and the amazing unseen world it reveals.

    There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who insist that football is just a game, and those who know better. Take the April 1967 clash between England and Scotland. Wounded by their biggest rivals winning the World Cup just nine months earlier, Bobby Brown's Scots travelled to Wembley on the mother of all missions. Win and they would take a huge step towards qualifying for the 1968 European Championship, end England’s formidable 19-game unbeaten streak, and, best of all, put Sir Alf Ramsey’s men firmly back in their box. Lose? Well, that was just unthinkable.  
    
    Meanwhile, off the pitch, the winds of change were billowing through Scotland. Nationalism, long confined to the margins of British politics, was starting to penetrate the mainstream, gaining both traction and influence. Was England’s World Cup victory a defining moment in the Scottish independence movement? Or did it consign Scotland to successive generations of myopic underachievement?
    
    Michael McEwan, author of The Ghosts of Cathkin Park, returns to 1967 to explore a crucial ninety minutes in the rebirth of a nation.
