Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Robert Wald Sussman explains why - when it comes to race - too many people still mistake bigotry for science.

Fifty years ago, neuroscientists thought that a mature brain was fixed like a fly in amber, unable to change. Today, we know that our brains and nervous systems change throughout our lifetimes. This concept of neuroplasticity has captured the imagination of a public eager for self-improvement - and has inspired countless Internet entrepreneurs who peddle dubious "brain training" games and apps. In this book, Moheb Costandi offers a concise and engaging overview of neuroplasticity for the general listener.

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity, she discovers, much to her own astonishment, an increasing body of scientific evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh, but an intrinsic component of the female brain - and thus has a fundamental connection to female consciousness itself.

Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism.

A compelling account of the four-thousand-year history of a people that spans the globe and transcends the ages. From the ancient and simple faith of a small tribe to a global religion with adherents in every nation, the path of the Jews is traced through countless expulsions and migrations, the great tragedy of the Holocaust, and the joy of founding a homeland in Israel. Putting the struggle of a persecuted people into perspective, Max Dimont asks whether the tragic sufferings of the Jews have actually been the key to their survival, as other nations and races vanished into obscurity.

In Sicily, on March 12, 1909, four gunshots thundered in the night. Two men fled, and investigators soon discovered who they had killed: Giuseppe Petrosino, the legendary American detective whose exploits in New York were celebrated even in Italy. Veteran New York City journalist and historian Paul Moses explores the lives of the nationally celebrated detectives who followed in the slain Petrosino's footsteps as leaders of the New York City investigative squad: Anthony Vachris, Charles Corrao, and Michael Fiaschetti.

Tras el convencimiento falaz de que sobran seres humanos en el planeta, se extiende amenazante una ideología inducida que considera que la vida de una mascota es más valiosa que la de personas que disienten, bebés no nacidos, o ancianos enfermos. Nace así una peligrosa nueva religión laica apocalíptica basada en la ira, pero disfrazada de amor por la naturaleza, el planeta y el clima. En estas páginas argumenta, con un enfoque original y aportando datos asombrosos: la diferencia entre dos perspectivas opuestas; el lobo de Dios -lupus dei- y el dios Lobo -lupus deus.

«Nos encantaría descubrir que cada especie tiene un reloj biológico en sus células, porque, de existir ese reloj y si fuéramos capaces de dar con él, quizá pudiéramos pararlo y de ese modo volvernos eternos», le plantea Arsuaga a Millás en este libro en el que la ciencia se entrelaza con la literatura. El paleontólogo desvela aspectos esenciales de nuestra existencia al escritor, y se debate sobre la conveniencia de transmitir su visión azarosa de la vida a un Millás a dieta que descubre que la vejez es un país en el que todavía se siente extranjero.

Beginning with that most fundamental of questions - ''Do we really want what we say we want?'' - Fisher explores the relationship between desire and capitalism, and wonders what new forms of desire we might still excavate from the past, present, and future. From the emergence and failure of the counterculture in the 1970s to the continued development of his left-accelerationist line of thinking, this volume charts a tragically interrupted course for thinking about the raising of a new kind of consciousness, and the cultural and political implications of doing so.

Dal primo avventurarsi su due gambe nelle pianure africane alla produzione di pitture rupestri, piramidi, bastimenti, parlamenti e molto altro: tanto si è scritto sul cammino evolutivo dell'umanità grazie al lavoro di paleontologi, archeologi e genetisti. Ciascuno di loro ha messo un tassello a formare un quadro generale della nostra storia.

Myth is our wild way of telling the truth, of sharing stories that have our living earth speaking through them. There is an old insistence that we each have a twin we know nothing about. A wild, curious twin that was thrown out the window the night we were born, taking much of our energy with them. This story is a quest to find and court our wild twin, for they have something important to tell us. If there was something we were here to do in our few, brief years, we can be sure that the wild twin is holding the key.
