From the renowned neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Incognito comes the companion volume to the international PBS series about how your life shapes your brain, and how your brain shapes your life. "An ideal introduction to how biology generates the mind.... Clear, engaging and thought-provoking." —Nature Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are “you”? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you. Color illustrations throughout.

Toto nie je rodičovská príručka, ale skutočný život! Nanič mama je senzácia na Facebooku aj v blogerskom svete. Tisíce fanúšikov s nadšením sledujú jej príspevky, v ktorých prináša vtipný a dokonale úprimný opis materstva. Od najúžasnejších okamihov v živote rodiča až po najťažšie chvíle, keď sa človeka zmocní pocit, že nebol stvorený mať deti. Tento neprifarbený portrét materstva si získal srdcia rodičov na celom svete. Nanič mama sa nevyhýba nijakej téme: od tehotenstiev, keď ani trošku nežiarila, po zdanlivo nekonečné nočné kŕmenie, od prvých ciest do materských centier po návrat do práce, od detských záchvatov vzdoru po praktické rady, ktoré sa vám zídu v pekle detských zábavných centier. Táto kniha vám nepovie, ako byť rodičom, čo kupovať ani ako sa cítiť. Jej osviežujúca priamočiarosť vás však bezpochyby rozosmeje a možno aj rozplače. Navyše si pri nej s úľavou vydýchnete, že v tom nie ste sami.

She manages to escape but no one believes her story--not the police, not the doctors, and especially not her husband, Liam. When she suspects Liam is lying to her, Chloe is forced to retrace her past, following in her own footsteps to find the truth and stay alive. But who is following Chloe? Look behind you. You never know who's out there. #1 UK Kindle Bestseller Revised edition: This edition of Look Behind You includes editorial revisions.

Ash is used to taking hits on the field for his high school football team until he takes one that doesn't just impact his body, but his whole reality. It starts with one small shift, but with every game, every hit, Ash finds himself pushed through a succession of universes almost-but-not-really like his own, until the small shifts in reality become significant shifts in Ash's own identity. As Ash experiences life from other perspectives, he starts to question the world he thought he knew, as well as the ones he finds himself catapulted into. For better or worse, the one thing Ash knows is that he's got to find a way to put things back.
