In this startling study of human emotion, Dacher Keltner investigates an unanswered question of human evolution: If humans are hardwired to lead lives that are "nasty, brutish, and short," why have we evolved with positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and cooperative societies? Born to Be Good takes us on a journey through scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy.

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors.

Když se v roce 1956 budoucí slavná Elsa narodila, byla už Joy Adamsonová známou ochránkyní zvířat. Lvíče nešťastnou náhodou spolu se svými dvěma bratry přišlo o matku a manželé Adamsonovi je zachránili a vychovali. Lvy poslali do evropské zoologické zahrady a Elsa zůstala s nimi. Byť se u nich měla skvěle a dávali jí v rámci možností velkou svobodu a volnost, snažili se přesto v Else rozvinout její přirozené lovecké instinkty tak, aby později mohla žít nezávisle, protože byli přesvědčeni, že zvířata ze zajetí mají být vrácena do volné přírody.

Why are we the way we are? Why do some of us find it impossible to calm a quick temper or to shake anxiety? The debate has always been divided between nature and nurture, but as psychology professor Daniel P. Keating demonstrates in Born Anxious, new DNA science points to a third factor that allows us to inherit both the nature and the nurture of previous generations - with significant consequences.

The most valuable investment any society makes is in its children, the next generation. The more we learn about the fetus the better we are able to understand the problems and abnormalities that can occur during development. Dr. Peter Nathanielsz, the first to demonstrate that the fetal brain delivers the signals that start the process of birth, reviews the recent explosion of information on fetal development during the second half of pregnancy.

This audiobook is for those people who are fed up with "horoscopism," who are tired of listening to nonsense about themselves and other people from psychologists or their "all-knowing" relatives, friends, and acquaintances. It will help you save not just some time in your life, but your whole life, because otherwise you will spend your entire life on something that is impossible. And, it is impossible not because you are idiots, but because Homo Sapiens cannot fully know themselves and other people without an external (and most importantly, objective) source.

Le projet photographique Born in PPM de Mary-Lou Mauricio a pour vocation de démontrer l’accélération de la concentration en CO2 depuis la révolution industrielle. Les participants posent avec le taux de leur année de naissance.Chaque année, le volume d’énergies fossiles brûlées augmente, libérant toujours plus de CO2 dans notre atmosphère. Cette concentration se mesure en « Parties Par Million ». Depuis la révolution industrielle, ce taux ne cesse d’augmenter, de plus en plus vite contribuant fortement au dérèglement climatique en cours. En 2022, le taux de concentration...

Max Born war einer jener Physiker, die den Aufbruch und die Umwälzung ihres Fachs in den zwanziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts geprägt haben. Die Ambivalenz dieser Phase spiegelt sich in jenem Dutzend herausragender Wissenschaftler wieder, die er als Lehrer betreut hat: Zusammen mit Werner Heisenberg und Pascual Jordan gab er der Physik mit der Quantenmechanik und ihrer statistischen Deutung ein neues Gesicht, in Robert Oppenheimer und Edward Teller gingen die Konstrukteure der Atom- und der Wasserstoffbombe aus der Göttinger Schule hervor.
