Dr Ropper answers these questions by taking the reader into a world where lives and minds hang in the balance.

*As featured on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast* ‘From the opening paragraph, I was spellbound, entranced. Through real stories about what happens when our fragile perception of the world around us and within us is severed, Guy Leschziner connects us back to our senses.’ Professor Alice Roberts Where are you now? Look around you; what can you see? Close your eyes and think of a loved one – do you see their face? Stretch out a hand; what can you feel with your fingertips, your palm, the soft underside of your wrist? What can you hear – nearby and far away? The information you receive from your senses makes up your world. But that world does not exist. What we perceive to be the absolute truth of the world around us is a complex reconstruction, a virtual reality created by the complex machinations of our minds in tandem with the wiring of our nervous systems. But what happens if that wiring goes awry? What happens if connections falter, or new and unexpected connections are made? Tiny shifts in the microbiology of our nervous systems can cause the world around us to shift and mutate, to become alien and unfamiliar. In The Man Who Tasted Words, consultant neurologist Guy Leschziner takes us on a journey through the senses, exploring how each one shapes our experience of the world. And investigating what happens when they deviate from the norm. Along the way we meet a number of extraordinary individuals and step through the looking glass and into their worlds. Worlds where hot and cold are reversed, where a person with no sight sees fantastical visions, or where words have a taste and sounds create sensations. But while fascinating, their experiences are more than simply curiosities. They teach us about our own perception of the world, forcing us to question the idea of ‘normal’ senses, and whether such a thing even exists. Does blue look the same to you and me? Does grass smell the same? Or sugar taste as sweet? Do we even have the same understanding of what ‘sweet’ is?The Man Who Tasted Words unpacks the science behind your senses and challenges you to try and see the world through another’s eyes – and ears, and nose and mouth. It will illuminate, it will surprise, and it will leave your world just a little bit changed. ‘A truly astonishing book – from the story of the man who tasted words to that of Paul who could pull out his own teeth and break his legs yet feel no pain. These are beautifully and engagingly written stories of how our senses tell us about the reality of the world – or, sometimes, don’t.’ Gavin Esler, author of How Britain Ends ‘Stories of people who experience the world differently show us what it means to be human. This is a deeply moving and powerful book, full of provocative ideas about human perception and the way we construct reality.’ Daniel M. Davis, author of The Secret Body and The Beautiful Cure ‘This is a book vibrant with personality and full of wonder. Professor Leschziner takes us through an exploration of our senses, making us question the nature of our reality and how we interpret the world around us. It is a profound, entertaining and quite exceptional book.’ Dr Alastair Santhouse, Psychiatrist and Author of Head First ‘In vivid stories of patient maladies that affect our very human sensations of sight, sound, smell, touch and pain, Leschziner has deeply explored the sensory experiences that bombard every moment of our lives but of which we are barely aware. What a terrific melding of brain science with thoughtful ideas on our window to the outside world.’ Allan Ropper, author of Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole and How the Brain Lost its Mind. ‘A fascinating, important and disturbing book. Words will never taste the same again!’ John Humphrys

Audiokniha: { cs : Vaše budoucnost začíná teď.\nUznávaný futurista Brian David Johnson tráví už více než čtvrt století tím, že pomáhá vládám, korporacím, školám a dalším organizacím plánovat úspěšné cesty vpřed tím, že jim ukazuje, jak bude svět brzy vypadat. V Budoucnosti pod kontrolou (v orig. The Future You – Budoucí Já, pozn. překladatele)) vám blíže představí svou práci jako aplikovaný futurista a poskytne praktické nástroje, které potřebujete k tomu, abyste si vytvořili budoucnost, jakou jste si vysnili. Audiokniha nabízí jedinečnou kombinaci praktických pokynů, interaktivních cvičení a působivých příběhů ze skutečného života. \n\nVytvořte si budoucnost, jakou jste vždy chtěli.\nPokud jste jako většina lidí, pomyšlení na zítřek ve vás vyvolává úzkost. Můžete snít tom, co chcete dělat nebo kde chcete být v příštích několika měsících, letech nebo desetiletích, ale máte strach, protože nevíte, co vás může čekat. Tato obava bohužel ovlivňuje, jak se dnes rozhodujete, a tedy i to, jaká bude vaše budoucnost. Ať už chcete najít svou novou vášeň, změnit svou kariéru nebo styl života, strach drží tolik z nás v zajetí a brání nám podniknout kroky nezbytné k tomu, abychom mohli začít hned. Díky audioknize Budoucnost pod kontrolou už nemusíte jen snít o lepší budoucnosti, můžete své plány, nápady a naděje proměnit ve skutečnost.\nKniha je rozdělena do osmi kapitol, které vás provedou stejným procesem futurecastingu, který Brian používá se svými klienty. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou okořeněné osobními příběhy, jež jsou nejen poutavé, ale ilustrují myšlenky, které Johnson uvádí. V každé z kapitol objevíte i dobře promyšlená rychlá cvičení, která budou užitečná v reálném uvědomění si a plánování budoucnosti, kterou opravdu chcete. \nJohnson ve své metodě nepoužívá kouzla, ani nespoléhá na křišťálovou kouli. Jeho metoda je založena na vědě. V tomto průkopnickém průvodci, který otevírá oči, zjistíte, že vy jste zodpovědní za vytvoření své budoucnosti a máte moc si ji naplánovat.\nProlomte svůj strach a naplánujte si budoucnost svých snů.\n\nZ audioknihy:\n“Pro mnohé lidi je budoucnost něčím, co je v současnosti nepoznatelné a také nekoncepčně řízené. Připomíná mi to výrok Marka Twaina: „Pokud jde o svět, problém není v tom, že lidé o něm mnoho nevědí, ale spíše v tom, že vědí mnoho věcí, které nejsou pravdivé.“ Pokud chcete ovládat svou budoucnost, musíte se oprostit od dlouho tradovaných bludů. A přesně sem společně zamíříme.”\n\n“Poznání tajemství budoucnosti tedy spočívá v pochopení toho, co nás čeká, a přijetí faktu, že svou vlastní budoucnost můžeme formovat. A protože není mnoho dalších věcí, které by nám měly dělat starost, budoucnost se už pak nejeví jako něco drtivého.” }

Frank Herbert s Dune series is one of the great creations of imaginative literature, science fiction s answer to The Lord of the Rings.Decades after Herbert s original novels, the Dune saga was continued by Frank Herbert s son, Brian Herbert, in collaboration with Kevin J. Anderson. Working from Frank Herbert s own notes, the acclaimed authors reveal the chapter of the Dune saga most eagerly anticipated by readers: the Butlerian Jihad.Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the war in which humans wrested their freedom from thinking machines. In Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues. Finally, we see how Serena Butler s passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters; here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet of Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice melange....

Mary Toft was just another eighteenth century woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain. Mary Toft was the kind of person overlooked by those with power, forgotten by historians. Mary Toft was nothing. Until, that is, Mary Toft started giving birth to rabbits... In Mary and the Rabbit Dream, the sensational debut novelist Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines Mary s strange and fascinating story - and how she found fame when a large swathe of England became convinced that she was the mother of rabbits. Mary and the Rabbit Dream is a story of bodily autonomy, of absurdity, of the horrors inflicted on women, of the cruel realities of poverty and the grotesque divides between rich and poor. It s a book that matters deeply - and it s also a compelling page-turner. A story told with exquisite wit, skill and a beautiful streak of subversive mischief.
