The brain mozek - challoner jack

(patro.cz)

Po staletí jsme fascinováni otázkou, proč se chováme tak, jak se chováme. Mozek je nejkomplexnější ze všech orgánů - a nejtajemnější. V knize nás autor seznamuje se současnými úžasnými objevy. Například zkoumá, jak hodnotíme riziko. Proč je někteří lidé vyhledávají, zatímco jiní se mu snaží vyhnout? Seznámíme se s výsledky pokusu s horolezci na Everestu, jak se náš mozek adaptuje na nízkou koncentraci kyslíku. Jak to působí na naši schopnost zpracovávat myšlenky, zapamatovávat si fakta nebo třeba i počítat? Jiní lékaři se pokoušejí pochopit, co z nás dělá sociální živočichy, a to tak, že zkoumají podmínky ovlivňující sympatie pacientů vůči jiným. Prastará otázka - přirozenost versus výchova - se vrací, v dnešní době aplikována na inteligenci. Profesor Ramachandran se ve dvou kapitolách, jednak o fantomových údech, jednak o anomáliích lidského mozku, zabývá úvahami, zda každý z nás vnímáme svět jinak. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis - with explosive results. Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

'Fascinating. . . This engaging book explores just how multiple languages are acquired and sorted out by the brain. . . Costa's work derives from a great fund of knowledge, considerable curiosity and solidly scientific spirit' Philip Hensher Spectator The definitive study of bilingualism and the human brain from a leading neuropsychologist Over half of the world's population is bilingual and yet few of us understand how this extraordinary, complex ability really works. How do two languages co-exist in the same brain? What are the advantages and challenges of being bilingual? How do we learn - and forget - a language? In the first study of its kind, leading expert Albert Costa shares twenty years of experience to explore the science of language. Looking at studies and examples from Canada to France to South Korea, The Bilingual Brain investigates the significant impact of bilingualism on daily life from infancy to old age. It reveals, among other things, how babies differentiate between two languages just hours after birth, how accent affects the way in which we perceive others and even why bilinguals are better at conflict resolution. Drawing on cutting-edge neuro-linguistic research from his own laboratory in Barcelona as well from centres across the world, and his own bilingual family, Costa offers an absorbing examination of the intricacies and impact of an extraordinary skill. Highly engaging and hugely informative,The Bilingual Brain leaves us all with a sense of wonder at how language works. Translated by John W. Schwieter (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'A remarkable and important book . . .a highly accessible, timely and invaluable guide to anybody working in groups.' Prof Paul Gilbert OBE___________________________________________________How many people does the ideal team contain? How do groups bond, earn trust and forge shared identities? How can leaders build environments adaptable enough to respond to shocks and still enable people to thrive together? How can you feel close to people if your only point of contact is a phone or a computer?In The Social Brain leading experts from the worlds of evolutionary psychology and business management come together to offer a primer on great team working. They explain what size groups work and how to shape them according to the nature of the task at hand. They offer practical hints on how to diffuse tensions and encourage cooperation.And they demonstrate the vital importance of balancing unity and the need for different views and outlooks.

Kniha - autor Kevin Dutton, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life's grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions. Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It's how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren't wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of ' 'them' or 'us' and 'this' or 'that' we isolate ourselves from ideas we don't agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become polarized.... (alza.cz)

V rozhlase jsem uplatnil sérii zajímavostí z historie medicíny, z nichž některé jsem zařadil i do své knížky Věčná chirurgie. Z těch úspěchů mně už tenkrát popadla „pejcha“, z níž vzešel nápad napsat vzpomínky na nedůležitější okamžiky mého života. Vždyť jsem jezdil s medicínou doma i v cizině, často za dramatických okolností. Fungoval jsem v medicíně jako agenti a cesťáci, které tak skvěle popsali Kisch, Hrabal či Pavel.

Five decades after it was first published, Jack Kerouac's seminal Beat novel On the Road finally finds its way to the big screen, in a production from award-winning director Walter Salles (Motorcycle Diaries) starring Sam Riley (Control, Brighton Rock), Garret Hedlund (Friday Night Lights), Kristen Stewart (Twilight), Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen. Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young innocent, joins his hero Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat, on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American dream.

Part science fiction, part dystopian fantasy, part radical socialist tract, Jack London's The Iron Heel offers a grim depiction of warfare between the classes in America and around the globe. Originally published nearly a hundred years ago, it anticipated many features of the past century, including the rise of fascism, the emergence of domestic terrorism, and the growth of centralized government surveillance and authority. What begins as a war of words ends in scenes of harrowing violence as the state oligarchy, known as "the Iron Heel," moves to crush all opposition to its power.

'His first novel is a revelation ... the writing is vivid, serious and extraordinary ... wonderful' The Times The Sea is My Brother is Jack Kerouac's very first novel, begun shortly after his tour as a merchant sailor in 1942. Lost during his lifetime, it is an intense portrait of friendship and brotherhood and a meditation on the desire to escape society, following the fortunes of two men as they impulsively decide to work their passage on the S.S. Westminster: drinking, arguing, playing cards, dodging torpedoes and contemplating the vast, terrible beauty of the sea. Published with fragments of early stories and letters, this visceral work gives a unique insight into the young Kerouac and the formation of his genius. 'What's clear from this newly published first novel is that Kerouac was positively fizzing with talent at an early age' Sunday Times (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When the pampered Buck is kidnapped from his beloved home in the Santa Clara Valley and forced to work as a sled-dog in the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, he must forget the long, lazy days of sleeping in the sunshine, and face a life of constant toil and danger, where survival itself must be fought for. But with his primal instincts reawakened, how long can Buck resist the call of the wild?Set at the time of the Klondike gold rush, The Call of the Wild is one of the great evocations of the natural world, and perhaps the best example of London's famously urgent and vivid style. This edition includes also Moon-Face, Brown Wolf, That Spot, To Build a Fire and Batard. It also contains a section of extra material for young readers including a section about the Artic Gold Rush, a quiz and test yourself. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: In this dark and dangerous survival tale, man’s best friend, Buck, is abducted when the Gold Rush hits. Taken from his home - and his trusted owner - Buck faces up to the brutal realities of frontier life. Can his owner get him back? And will his perfectly peaceful life ever be restored? Adapted into the blockbuster hit starring Harrison Ford and Omar Sy, ‘The Call of the Wild’ weaves a rip-roaring tale of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds between man and dog. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo, Robert Macfarlane, and Rosanne Parry. Popular with history and adventure fans, Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. He is celebrated today as a pioneer of commercial fiction and dubbed an innovator in the sci-fi genre. London’s popular works span ‘The Call of the Wild’, ‘White Fang’, and ‘Sea Wolf’, and he remains today a writer of tense and thrilling adventure tales. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Powerful stories about the will to survive. In Call of the Wild, Buck, a domesticated dog, is stolen from his home in California and sold into sled dog slavery during the 1890s Klondike gold rush in Alaska. Forced to shed the comforts of civilization, he reverts to more primitive instincts and emerges as the leader of the pack. White Fang, published before Call of the Wild, is the companion novel about a wild wolf dog who is adopted by a human and eventually domesticated. Also included are The Sea-Wolf and many short stories centered on Alaska and the Far North. Jack London's classic tales--often told from the animal's viewpoint--have been popular for decades and will add a bit of gold to your Word Cloud collection. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha: Udělejte svému mozku laskavost a rozhýbejte tělo! Mezinárodní bestseller švédského psychiatra vás spolehlivě katapultuje z gauče. Důrazně připomíná, že antická moudrost „Ve zdravém těle zdravý duch“ platí i nadále, dokonce dnes nabývá nových významů. Na základě aktuálních vědeckých poznatků autor srozumitelně a zajímavě vysvětluje, proč pravidelná fyzická aktivita blahodárně působí na náš mozek, snižuje stres a zpomaluje proces stárnutí. Přitom se jí nevyrovná žádný lék, potravinový doplněk ani pravidelné luštění kvízů! Máte zájem zvýšit své IQ a zlepšit paměť? Stát se kreativnějšími a trénovat schopnost soustředění? Odpověď je jednoduchá: hýbejte se! Cvičení je patrně ta nejdůležitější věc, kterou pro sebe můžete udělat, jelikož prospívá nejen zdraví, náladě a kognitivní kondici, ale je zároveň nejlepší ochranou proti demenci. A ne všichni o tom vědí… Švédský odborník předkládá řadu konkrétních rad, jak využít fyzický pohyb například při léčbě deprese nebo při tréninku soustředění u dětí, zvláště těch s ADHD. Jeho kniha byla přeložena do více než 30 jazyků a jen ve Švédsku se jí prodalo přes půl milionu výtisků. „Tuto knihu vřele doporučuji všem, kterým záleží na vlastním mozku a/nebo na mozku druhých.“ – Carl Johan Sundberg, profesor univerzity Institut Karolinska. „Fascinující a motivující četba! Pro mě jako podnikatele je obzvlášť zajímavé sledovat, jak může cvičení zvýšit naši kreativitu." – Martin Lorentzon, spoluzakladatel společnosti Spotify. „Málokterá kniha je pro vzdělávání dospělých a veřejné zdraví tak důležitá. Anders Hansen má vzácnou schopnost zprostředkovat vědecké poznatky srozumitelně a poutavě." – Minna Tunberger, švédská novinářka zabývající se zdravotní problematikou. „Nejlepší populárně-vědecká publikace. Snadno se čte a je plná překvapivých poznatků." – deník Aftenbladet. „Dílo Anderse Hansena je lékem na naše současné problémy.“ – Rangan Chatterjee, britský lékař, spisovatel a televizní moderátor. „Na konci 80. let 20. století začali vědci systematicky porovnávat účinky sportu a léků při léčbě depresí. (…) Průlom nastal, když americký psycholog James Blumenthal shromáždil 156 lidí trpících depresí. Pokusné osoby rozlosoval do tří skupin. Jedné skupině podával zoloft, jeden ze světově nejrozšířenějších léků na depresi. Druhá skupina třikrát týdně vždy po dobu 30 minut sportovala. A třetí skupina užívala léky a sportovala současně. (…) Ukázalo se, že většina účastníků studie napříč všemi skupinami se cítila o tolik lépe, že už nespadali do diagnózy deprese. A co bylo nejdůležitější: ve skupině, která sportovala, se uzdravil stejný počet lidí jako ve skupině, jež užívala zoloft. Pravidelný pohyb byl jinými slovy stejně účinný jako antidepresiva.“ – ukázka z textu. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
