How We Live and Why We Die - Lewis Wolpert

Cells are the basis of all life in the universe. Our bodies are made up of billions of them: an incredibly complex society that governs everything, from movement to memory and imagination. When we age, it is because our cells slow down; when we get ill, it is because our cells mutate or stop working.In How We Live and Why we Die, Wolpert provides a clear explanation of the science that underpins our lives. He explains how our bodies function and how we derived from a single cell - the embryo. He examines the science behind the topics that are much discussed but rarely understood - stem-cell research, cloning, DNA - and explains how all life evolved from just one cell. Lively and passionate, How We Live and Why we Die is an accessible guide to understanding the human body and, essentially, life itself.

Dollars and Sense: How We Misthink Money and How to Spend Smarter (0062872729)

Kniha - 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Why is paying for things painful? Why are we comfortable overpaying for something in the present just because we've overpaid for it in the past? Why is it easy to pay $4 for a soda on vacation, when we wouldn't spend more than $1 on that same soda at our local grocery store? We think of money as numbers, values, and amounts, but when it comes down to it, when we actually use our money, we engage our hearts more than our heads. Emotions play a powerful role in shaping our financial behavior, often making us our own worst enemies as we try to save, access value, and spend responsibly. In Dollars and Sense, bestselling author and behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams up with financial comedian and writer Jeff Kreisler to challenge many of our most basic assumptions about the precarious relationship between our brains and our money. In doing so, they undermine many of personal finance's most sacred...

How We Grow Up - Matt Richtel

"This is essential reading for parents." — Dr. Vivek Murthy, former U.S. Surgeon GeneralGreatly expanding his award-winning New York Times series on the contemporary teen mental-health crisis, Pulitzer Prize–winning science reporter Matt Richtel delivers a groundbreaking investigation into the psychology of adolescence, the pivotal life stage undergoing profound—and often confounding—transformation. One of The New Yorker's Best Books of 2025The transition from childhood to adulthood is a natural, evolution-honed cycle that now faces radical change and challenge. The adolescent brain, sculpted for this transition over eons of evolution, confronts a modern world that creates so much social pressure as to regularly exceed the capacities of the evolving mind. The problem comes as a bombardment of screen-based information pelts the brain just as adolescence is undergoing a second key change: puberty is hitting earlier. The result is a neurological mismatch between an ultra-potent environment and a still-maturing brain that can lead to anxiety and depression in teens and other mental health challenges. It is a crisis that is part of modern life but can only be truly grasped through the broad, grounded lens of the science of adolescence itself. Through this lens, Richtel shows us how adolescents can understand themselves, and parents ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along is part-memoir, part-polemic about the state of public discourse in Britain and the world today. In an increasingly divided society, Iain examines why we’ve all become so disrespectful and intolerant. Using experiences from his career in politics and the media, he says it doesn’t have to be this way, and suggests how we can all emerge from tribalism and division and become more respectful to each other and those who govern us. It is a book that is optimistic about the fundamental decencies embedded in human nature and uses deeply personal anecdotes to explain why we can look forward in a positive way to a better life both in personal and material terms.

How to End Injustice Everywhere - Melanie Joye

In her newest book, HOW TO END INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE, psychologist Melanie Joy reveals the common denominator driving all forms of injustice, from sexism to speciesism to abusive interpersonal relationships and group dynamics.Joy explains that all injustices-such as racism, patriarchy, animal exploitation, environmental degradation, and domestic abuse-share a common denominator, which is relational dysfunction, or dysfunctional ways of relating: to other individuals, between social groups, and to nonhuman animals and the environment.Relational dysfunction stems from a particular psychology, a "nonrelational mentality." This mentality causes us to think, feel, and act in ways that violate integrity, harm dignity and lead to unjust power imbalances. Joy sheds light on the nonrelational mentality and explains how it shapes and is shaped by the various oppressive, or "nonrelational" systems in our world that cause widespread injustice.Until those of us who are helping to bring about justice understand relational dysfunction and know how to change it, we risk recreating injustice even as we work to end it, and our movements are at risk of cannibalizing themselves.HOW TO END INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE is a call for anyone working toward justice for humans, animals, or the environment to unify behind a shared "metamission" of creating a more relational world. ...

And what will he do next?Despite the millions of words written on Putin's Russia, the West still fails to truly understand one of the world's most powerful politicians, whose influence spans the globe and whose networks of power reach into the very heart of our daily lives. Professor Mark Galeotti uncovers the man behind the myth, addressing the key misperceptions of Putin and explaining how we can decipher his motivations and next moves. From Putin's early life in the KGB, to the war with Ukraine, his real relationship with the US and his vision for the future of Russia - Galeotti draws on Russian sources and explosive unpublished accounts to give unparalleled insight into the man at the heart of global politics. 'Easily the shrewdest and most insightful analysis yet of Putin’s policymaking' - Foreign Affairs'Punchy and highly readable' - TLS'Reads like a primer for anyone poised to enter a negotiation with the Russian president' - The Guardian

How To Live With Each Other - Farhan Samanani

An anthropologist looks at our modern world - and shows how we can build a better, more connected oneIncreasingly, we are coming to see difference, whether in the form of conflicting values or growing ethnic diversity, as an existential threat. Within much of the world, our main response has been to surround ourselves with like-minded people and double down on our own convictions, in an attempt to hold difference at bay. So, how did we get here, and what can we do about it?Here, anthropologist Farhan Samanani combines case studies from across the world with his own research to provide insights into the capacity of humankind to connect across divides. Using his anthropologist''s toolkit, he explores the roots of our present tensions and casts fresh light on how we can cultivate common ground, build healthy communities and not just live but flourish together.

The Slasher and the Vampire as Role Models - Ian Gregson

A recipient of an Eric Gregory Award as a young poet, Ian Gregson’s debut collection, Call Centre Love Song went on to be shortlisted for a Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Described by Carol Rumens as ‘combining a postmodernist’s sense of ‘things being various’ with a traditionalist’s concern for shape and completeness’, Gregson’s work is formally diverse, eminently accessible and packed with wit, but this is never glib or throw-away. There is deep commentary going on in these poems, on how we make and break connections, on the possibilities and limits of language and perception. Brilliant, often funny, frequently poignant and always timely, The Slasher and the Vampire as Role Models, is a new and collected that shows Gregson at the height of his linguistic dexterity as poet with something real to say.‘Gregson’s work is characterised by a belief that poetry should include and incorporate modern experience and not simply cordon off a special lyric arena where the world stops and ‘poetry’ begins.’ — Patrick McGuinness

Finance and Security - Martin S. Navias

The global financial sector is increasingly vulnerable to penetration by criminal money-launderers, terrorist financiers, and proliferators of weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, it offers  instruments that can be usefully employed to pursue foreign and security policy objectives. It is thus hardly surprising that finance has emerged as an arena of intense competition, if not conflict, between those seeking to exploit or attack this vital element of state power and those tasked with defending its integrity or harnessing it for legal purposes.  Navias assesses the key threats to financial systems and shows how the public and private sectors are co-operating to contain them. He analyses the main characteristics of criminal money-laundering and terrorist financing, and reviews major multilateral and national regimes locked in the perpetual battle to shore up the financial sector against these constantly evolving security challenges. He also considers the uses of finance in support of key sanctions, counter-proliferation, and arms embargo policies.  Uniquely, Finance and Security views these financial threats and weapons through a security and war studies prism. It will be equally invaluable to scholars of security and international relations and to professionals working in the legal, banking and compliance professions.

Concept-Based Language Instruction and Genre-Based Second Language Writing Pedagogy - J. Elliott Casal, Xixin Qiu, Lindsey M. Kurtz

Genre-Based approaches to Second Language Writing Instruction have become a powerful and popular means of assisting second and multilingual writers in learning to engage in professional, pedagogical and academic genres that are often high-stakes. This book presents a framework for teaching second language and multilingual writing that integrates Concept-Based Language Instruction and Genre-Based Writing Pedagogy. The authors present three large-scale implementations, within a graduate legal writing context, a cross-disciplinary doctoral research writing context and a graduate mechanical engineering context, and demonstrate how the pedagogical and theoretical framework is interdisciplinary, flexible and comprehensive. It provides a means of theorizing, researching, teaching and assessing the development of second language writer genre knowledge from nascency through expertise and equips second language writing instructors with a theoretical and practical toolkit to empower student writers to be more agentive, aware and strategic in their writing.

The Marsh Tit and The Willow Tit - Richard K. Broughton

‘A superb account of the ecology and behaviour of two declining bird species whose lives are intimately shaped by their woodland habitats.’ – Rob Fuller‘There can surely be nobody else as richly qualified as Richard Broughton to write this definitive work on the natural history of these two fascinating species.’ – Prof Ben SheldonThe Marsh Tit and the Willow Tit are two small birds of woodlands and forests extending from Great Britain to Japan. They are resourceful, resilient, vocal and bold. Both species are an important part of our natural heritage and are sentinels of our wooded ecosystems, sensitive to habitat changes that send their populations into decline and signalling problems in these precious habitats.In this first monograph for either species, Richard Broughton reveals the intricacies of the remarkable lives of these birds, bringing together decades of personal study and a detailed review of the wider research from Europe and Asia. We learn about each species’ taxonomy, communication, food and foraging patterns, habitats, social organisation, breeding behaviour and dispersal, as well as exploring the challenges they face and their future prospects.With more than 150 illustrations, including unique maps, charts and colour photographs, The Marsh Tit and The Willow Tit brings ...
