Aquest audiollibre és un tractat per sobreviure a l'era digital i tornar a donar importància a un dels elements que més ens caracteritza com a humans: les mans. Al llarg del temps, les mans han ajudat a l'esser humà a evolucionar i desenvolupar cultura, art i enginyeria. Amb l'aparició del món digital, les funcions de les mans han passat a un segon pla. La reconciliació amb les mans per tornar a fer-les servir pot ser el camí cap a la tranquil·litat i cap a una vida plena, més lenta i menys estressant.

De hersenwetenschap bevindt zich in een stroomversnelling. Wekelijks verschijnen er artikelen en boeken met baanbrekende inzichten over de werking van ons brein. Tot nu toe is er echter weinig aandacht voor het grotere plaatje: waartoe leidt al deze nieuwe kennis? "De vijfde revolutie" is een verslag van een reis langs de voornaamste denkers en wetenschappers op het gebied van neurobiologie. Het riep in Denemarken en later in de Verenigde Staten veel discussie op.

Sind es nur die Gene, die unser Wesen bestimmen? Welche Rolle spielen dabei Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse und das, was wir "Seele" nennen? Das Wechselspiel zwischen Erbanlagen und Lebensumständen beschäftigt die moderne Medizin bis heute. Joachim Bauer macht dieses Zusammenwirken von Geist und Genen erstmals populär verständlich - und setzt sich ein für einen bewussteren Umgang mit der menschlichen Seele.

What is the spirit? Where is the center of its existence? And what is its function? What is the soul? Where is the center of its existence? And what is its function? What is the thought? Where does it exist? And what is its function? What is the mind? Where is its center? And what is its function? What is its relation with the thought? And what are the relations of the above-mentioned items to one another?

Everything from neurons to consciousness in the blink of an eye (which takes 300 milliseconds). Take a "fantastic voyage" through the whorls and curves of the human brain, no miniaturization required. Learn everything from how quickly you can possibly think (and that left-handed people think...

Eine Einladung auf eine informative Reise ins Innere unseres Körpers: Die Bestsellerautorin und Ökotrophologin Marion Grillparzer erläutert auf anschauliche Weise, was in uns vor sich geht und wie aus einem Einzeller ein siebzig Billionen Zellen umfassendes Gebilde geworden ist - unser Körper. Die Funktionen und Eigenheiten unserer Organe werden beleuchtet und wie uns diese gesund und vital halten.

Bevor Lebewesen sehen und hören konnten, waren sie in der Lage zu riechen. In 500 Millionen Jahren der Evolution war es der Geruchssinn, der dem Gehirn ein wichtiges Fenster zur Welt geöffnet hat, der informierte, was essbar ist oder giftig, welches der richtige Sexualpartner ist, und der zu Orientierung, Warnung und Sozialverhalten beitrug. Bei den primitiven Wirbeltieren machte das Riechhirn den größten Teil des gesamten Gehirns aus und die neuronalen Mechanismen der Signalverarbeitung, die sich dabei entwickelten, standen Modell für alle anderen Sinne wie Sehen oder Hören.

Brain Power will explain the science behind what really affects our brains, as well as providing practical tips and exercises to improve and maintain brain function into old age. An essential guide for living better for longer. Packed full of exercises and practical tips to keep our most vital organ in shape, and breaking down the science between brain function and how sleep, exercise, diet and even socializing are imperative for maintaining our grey matter.

Humans are the only mammals to walk on two, rather than four, legs. From an evolutionary perspective, this is an illogical development, as it slows us down. But here we are, suggesting there must have been something tremendous to gain from bipedalism. First Steps takes our ordinary, everyday...

We are all interested in sex. That is only natural because it is the reason why we were born and we are biologically programmed to be interested in it, in order to reproduce. However, most people are shy to ask the basic questions about sex that worry them; e.g. many men worry about the size of their penis and whether it will disappoint their sexual partner. In this book I am to deal honestly and openly with the basic questions we all have about sex and in doing so, get rid of unnecessary anxieties and ignorance about this most basic and important topic. I hope this book will improve your ...

Профессор Дэвид Линден собрал ответы тридцати девяти ведущих нейробиологов на вопрос: «Что бы вы больше всего хотели рассказать людям о работе мозга?» В нем специалисты по человеческому поведению, молекулярной генетике, эволюционной биологии и сравнительной анатомии освещают самые разные темы. Авторы описывают самые удивительные особенности мозга, честно объясняя, что известно, а что пока неизвестно ученым о работе нервной системы.

Die vielfach ausgezeichnete Biochemikerin Renée Schroeder über den Menschheitstraum als Motor der Wissenschaft. Wissen Sie, was ein Xenobot ist? Es ist der erste lebende Roboter, hergestellt aus embryonalen Stammzellen eines Frosches. Diese Frosch-Roboter sind nur eines der vielen, bis vor kurzem ungeahnten Ergebnisse der biotechnologischen Forschung. Die Entwicklung ist rasant, etwa in der Gentechnologie, in der Bioinformatik, oder in der synthetischen Biologie, ein junges Forschungsgebiet, das programmierbare Organismen mit neuen Eigenschaften schaffen will.

Hersenwetenschapper Eveline Crone is gefascineerd door de hersenen. Niet alleen om wat ze allemaal kunnen (gigantisch veel!), maar ook omdat werkelijk elk brein uniek is. Je hersenen worden immers gevormd door alle ervaringen die je tijdens je leven opdoet. In Een dag in ons brein kijken we 24 uur mee in de hoofden van de bewoners van de Bolstraat. Ze dealen met onzekerheden, afwijzing, ouder worden, puberen, piekeren en het voortdurende multitasken. Maar ze genieten ook van vriendschappen, verliefd zijn, samenwerken, lekker eten en avonturen.

What if the world you trust is just a clever trick of the senses? I n Beyond the Obvious: The Secret Life of the Senses, JD Arden takes you on a sharp, witty journey through sight, sound, taste, smell, touch—and the “sixth sense” that haunts the edges of reason. This isn’t a textbook; it’s an investigation into the strange, fragile ways we build reality from fragments of sensation. From the dominance of vision to the nostalgia of a forgotten scent, from gut feelings to hallucinations, Arden explores what our senses reveal, what they hide, and how they shape the stories we tell ...

We’re Full of Plastic is a deep dive into one of the most urgent and overlooked environmental and health crises of our time: the invasion of microplastics into the human body. According to a landmark study, the average person may ingest up to 5 grams of plastic each week—roughly the size of a credit card. Drawing on cutting-edge scientific studies, this eye-opening book reveals how plastic pollution is no longer just a problem for oceans and landfills—it's a problem inside us.

In a world where flashy visuals and constant noise vie for our attention, our sense of smell often operates behind the scenes—quietly shaping how we recall the past, process emotions, and connect with those around us. Beyond the Nose unveils the remarkable story of our least-appreciated sense, weaving together cutting-edge research in neuroscience with timeless cultural lore to reveal how aromas can spark potent memories, uplift our moods, and enrich day-to-day experiences in ways we seldom realize. Drawing from scientific studies, personal accounts, and ancient practices, this book ...
