This controversial book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments, and the major theories, whilst also outlining the amazing pace of discoveries in neuroscience. Covering areas such as the construction of self in the brain, mechanisms of attention, the neural correlates of consciousness, and the physiology of altered states of consciousness, Susan Blackmore highlights our latest findings.

These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

As a former American Civil Defense volunteer from Massachusetts, former Dutch Red Cross and GHOR Officer (Dutch Red Cross Regional Coordinator for National Emergency Aid) and a Specialist in (Emergency) First Aid and Safety, I have witnessed firsthand the importance of being prepared for emergencies. The world around us is continuously changing at an ever-faster pace. We increasingly hear reports of cyberattacks, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters. These events remind us of the fragility of our modern society and the need to be proactive in safeguarding ourselves and our loved ones. I have dedicated my time to helping individuals and communities prepare for and respond to emergencies. My experiences have taught me that preparation is not just about having the right supplies; it's about having the right mindset and knowledge to navigate challenging situations. The Family GoBag: A Practical Guide to Building Your Emergency Kit is a culmination of my years of experience and expertise in the field of emergency preparedness. This book is designed to provide you with practical, actionable advice on how to build a comprehensive emergency kit that will help you and your family.

John Maeda is one of the world's preeminent thinkers on technology and design, and in How to Speak Machine, he offers a set of simple laws that govern not only the computers of today, but the unimaginable machines of the future. Machines are already more powerful than we can comprehend, and getting more powerful at an exponential pace. Once set in motion, algorithms never tire. And when a program's size, speed and endlessness combine with its ability to learn and transform itself, the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous. Take the seemingly instant transformation of Microsoft's chatbot into a hate-spewing racist, or how crime-predicting algorithms reinforce racial bias. How To Speak Machine provides a coherent framework for today's product designers, business leaders and policymakers to grasp this brave new world. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience from engineering to computer science to design, Maeda shows how businesses and individuals can identify opportunities afforded by technology to make world-changing and inclusive products while avoiding the pitfalls inherent to the medium.

"This is an enthralling, panoramic book, a personal history of six decades of Irish life, from one of the foremost chroniclers of contemporary Ireland. With his customary deep erudition and sly wit, O'Toole weaves together an astonishing array of material, from political history to economic analysis to literature, the theatre, the press, the church, the role of television and pop culture, and Ireland's intense and intimate connection to the United States. Jostling with anecdotes and arresting statistics, We Don't Know Ourselves is a feast: a deeply absorbing chronicle of the "known and unknowable," and of the profound transformation of a place." -Patrick Radden Keefe, New York Times best-selling author of Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland "Sweeping, authoritative and profoundly intelligent." -Colm Tóibín, The Guardian "A clear-eyed, myth-dispelling masterpiece. Engaging, analytical, insightful, fascinating, this is a hugely important book." -Marian Keyes, international best-selling novelist "A remarkably original, fluent and absorbing book, with the pace and twists of an enthralling novel and the edge of a fine sword, underpinned by a profound humaneness." -Diarmaid Ferriter, The Irish Times

'Powerful' The Economist 'Fascinating, panoramic . . . Roach brings an expert eye and page-turning energy' Helen Castor, bestselling author of She Wolves 'Narrated with pace, clarity, authority and style, Roach's book is a bracing tour of the world that the Normans made their own' Thomas Williams, bestselling author of Viking Britain 'A fresh retelling . . . written with enthusiasm and brio' Marc Morris, bestselling author of The Anglo-Saxons How did descendants of Viking marauders come to dominate Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East? It is a tale of ambitious adventures and fierce freebooters, of fortunes made and fortunes lost. The Normans made their influence felt across all of western Europe and the Mediterranean, from the British Isles to North Africa, and Lisbon to the Holy Land. In Empires of the Normans we discover how they combined military might and political savvy with deeply held religious beliefs and a profound sense of their own destiny. For a century and a half, they remade Europe in their own image, and yet their heritage was quickly forgotten - until now.
