Bluebird Attached. Are you Anxious, Avoidant or Secure? How the science of adult attachment can help you find - and keep - love Levine Amir, Heller Rachel S. F

Что собаки на самом деле думают о нас? Что собаки знают и понимают об окружающем мире? Похожи ли их эмоции на наши собственные? Любят ли они так же, как мы? • Движимый собственной любовью к собакам, Чарльз Дарвин мучился подобными вопросами. Чтобы найти ответы, его современники поиграли с собачьим языком жестов. Чтобы найти подсказки, они изготовили специальные коробки с головоломками и тщательно продумали тесты на обнюхивание, используя старые носки. Позже те же самые извечные вопросы о разуме собак привели Павлова и Пастера к невыразимой жестокости в их поисках истины. Эти громкие имена в науке оказали влияние на целые лиги психологов и специалистов по поведению животных, каждый из которых опирался на идеи и мудрость предыдущих поколений,но не смог увидеть того, что бросалось им в глаза,- что те самые методы,которые люди использовали для изучения разума собак, влияли на отраженные в них идеи

- Have you ever forgotten the name of someone you’ve met dozens of times? • - Or discovered that your memory of an important event was completely different from everyone else’s? • - Or vividly recalled being in a particular place at a particular time, only to discover later that you couldn’t possibly have been? • We rely on our memories every day of our lives. They make us who we are. And yet the truth is, they are far from being the accurate record of the past we like to think they are. In The Memory Illusion, forensic psychologist and memory expert Dr Julia Shaw draws on the latest research to show why our memories so often play tricks on us – and how, if we understand their fallibility, we can actually improve their accuracy. The result is an exploration of our minds that both fascinating and unnerving, and that will make you question how much you can ever truly know about yourself

So many of us believe that we are free to shape our own destiny. But what if free will doesn't exist? What if our lives are largely predetermined, hardwired in our brains and our choices over what we eat, who we fall in love with, even what we believe are not real choices at all? • Neuroscience is challenging everything we think we know about ourselves, revealing how we make decisions and form our own reality, unaware of the role of our unconscious minds. Did you know, for example, that • - You can carry anxieties and phobias across generations of your family? • - Your genes and pleasure and reward receptors in your brain will determine how much you eat? • - We can sniff out ideal partners with genes that give our offspring the best chance of survival? • Leading neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow draws vividly from everyday life and other experts in their field to show the extraordinary potential, as well as dangers, which come with being able to predict our likely futures and looking at how we can alter what's in store for us

Why can’t we think straight when hungry? What’s the point of nightmares? And why is it so impossible to forget embarrassing memories? • Emotions can be a pain. After losing his dad to Covid-19, Dean Burnett found himself wondering what life would be like without them. And so, he decided to put his feelings under the microscope – for science • In Emotional Ignorance, Dean takes us on an incredible journey of discovery, stretching from the origins of life to the end of the universe.

Pain is a universal human experience, but we understand very little about the mechanics behind it. We hurt ourselves, we feel pain, we seek help from a professional or learn to avoid certain behaviours that cause pain. But the story of what goes on in our body is far from simple. Even medical practitioners themselves often fail to grasp the complexities between our minds and bodies and how they interact when dealing with pain stimulus • Common conception still equates pain with tissue damage but that is only a very small part of the story – the organ which produces pain is the brain. Case studies show that a woman who has undergone a caesarean reports dramatically less pain than a patient who has had a comparably invasive operation. The soldier who drags themselves to safety after being shot deals with pain in a remarkably different way from someone suffering a similar injury on a street

Einstein’s Fridge tells the story of how scientists uncovered the least known and yet most consequential of all the sciences, and learned to harness the power of heat and ice • The laws of thermodynamics govern everything from the behaviour of atoms to that of living cells, from the engines that power our world to the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and ultimately how the universe will end. The people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences – they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists and mathematicians • Their discoveries, set over two hundred years, kick-started the industrial revolution, changed the course of world wars and informed modern understanding of black holes

India joined the railway age late: the first line was not completed until 1853 but, by 1929, 41,000 miles of track served the country. However, the creation of this vast network was not intended to modernize India for the sake of its people but rather was a means for the colonial power to govern the huge country under its control, serving its British economic and military interests • Despite the dubious intentions behind the construction of the network, the Indian people quickly took to the railways, as the trains allowed them to travel easily for the first time. The Indian Railways network remains one of the largest in the world, serving over 25 million passengers each day • In this expertly told history, Christian Wolmar reveals the full story of India’s railways, from its very beginnings to the present day, and examines the chequered role they have played in Indian history and the creation of today’s modern state
