Sinopse

"The Human Reflex" explores the vital role of involuntary reflexes in human survival and their connection to the nervous system. It reveals how these automatic behaviors shape our interactions with the environment and contribute to our overall well-being. Did you know reflexes enable us to react quickly to danger, maintaining bodily equilibrium? Understanding reflexes provides insight into neurological health, developmental processes, and our embodied existence. The book traces reflex research from early anatomical studies to modern neuroscience, explaining the roles of sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons in reflex arcs. It presents a comprehensive understanding of reflexes, starting with basic types and neural circuitry, then examining development from infancy to adulthood, and finally investigating clinical significance, such as how abnormal reflexes can signal health issues. The book's accessible approach to complex scientific concepts, illustrative diagrams, and real-world examples make it valuable for students of psychology, biology, healthcare professionals, athletes, and anyone interested in the human body.

Socrates Meets Machiavelli - The...

Peter Kreeft

In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Niccolò Machiavelli, the father of modern political philosophy and author of The Prince, exploring justice and authority, fortune and power, love and fear, and good and evil.

The Roman Catholic Bishops of...

Paul Severn

In the century since its founding in 1924, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lancaster has had seven bishops and one auxiliary bishop. In a series of biographical portraits, Paul Severn tells the story of each of the bishops, explores their background and their impact on the life of the diocese in a century of change in the Church and in the wider world.

 
Looking back on a century that has seen two world wars, profound changes in society, the “revolution” of the Second Vatican Council, increasing secularization and declining numbers of those attending church, and the beginnings of synodality, he reflects on the lives of the individual bishops and also on the role and responsibility of Roman Catholic bishops in the twenty-first century.

The Beautiful Death of Ozzy...

Keith Kahn-Harris

Pioneering metal writer Keith Kahn-Harris presents a moving, visionary exploration of Ozzy Osbourne, and of metal music and culture: the potent legacy Ozzy left us. 
What is a ‘good death’? 
How about this: After years of terrible health, you gather friends and admirers for one last, glorious party. A couple of weeks later, you slip away, surrounded by your loving family. Then, the world comes to mourn. That is how Birmingham’s favourite son, Ozzy Osbourne, died. 
By his death in June 2025 – at an age few believed he’d reach – Ozzy was much-loved, far beyond the metal world. Once a feared, demonic figure to some (and a joke to others), his Back to the Beginning farewell concert at Villa Park raised millions for charity. 
In concise, arresting chapters moving from Death to Life via Art, Politics, Sex, Bodies, Voice, Family, Myth and more, Kahn-Harris explores how Ozzy – of all people! – attracted such generosity of spirit. The answer, he finds, is deeply embedded within the story and culture of metal – and has lessons for us all. 
This biography uses music criticism to explore heavy genres and styles, weaving social history with vivid stories that circle back to dying, family and myth. Latest and popular in its scope, it argues that metal’s culture—at its best—can turn even death into a communal act of meaning. 
For fans of Howard Jacobson (Shylock is My Name), and Jessica Cohen (What Makes an Apple?).

Stops or How to Punctuate

Paul Allardyce

Throughout the ages, languages continue to adapt and change. English, being a relatively new language, is a nice example of that. Though the English vocabulary is continually evolving, the system of punctuation has remained constant for the most part. This means that grammar books from 1895 are still applicable today.  Therefore, if the following sentence looks correct to you, perhaps listening to Paul Allardyce's "Stops, or How to Punctuate" would be a good idea.
