Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Nell’immaginario collettivo, la scienza è una specie di oracolo: un processo più o meno oscuro e inconfutabile, che fornisce delle risposte su come funziona il mondo.Questo non è vero, o è vero solo in parte.Più che per risposte, la scienza procede per domande: domande più o meno piccole, più o meno importanti, che a volte possono sembrare anche sciocche. Domande che alcune volte trovano effettivamente una risposta, altre volte portano a nuove domande, altre volte ancora, moltissime, restano irrisolte.Domande che, in tutti i casi, aprono piccoli spiragli o spalancano enormi finestre ...

The Memory Thief is the remarkable true story of a team of doctors who - through years of scientific sleuthing and observant care - discover a surprising connection between opioids and memory, one that holds promise and peril for any one of us.

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of a multibillion-dollar start-up, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end. In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up ‘unicorn’ promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood tests significantly faster and easier.

Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you aren’t shocked by quantum theory, you don’t really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution.

Following on from the events in A Zoo in My Luggage, The Whispering Land sees Gerald Durrell and his wife Jacquie travel to Argentina to collect animals for their newly established zoo. With rare insight and unique charm, Durrell pulls the listener into the tropical landscape of Patagonia, where he witnesses magical moments with penguins, seals and ocelots, and encounters a hilarious cast of characters, including a swearing parrot and a belching guanaco. 

True Crime Psychology and Personality dives deep into the pathology behind some of the most horrendous crimes and those who commit them. We discuss topics like narcissism, psychopathy, sociopathy, and antisocial personality disorder from a scientifically informed perspective. What is a narcissist? What makes a person develop narcissistic personality disorder or become a psychopath? How do you spot a sociopath? What signs can you look for to protect yourself from these dangerous personalities? It's not just about the stories, it's about the science and psychology behind them.

Ernesto Bozzano fu un indagatore di ogni branca ed ogni aspetto della metapsichica come telepatia, chiaroveggenza, psicocinesi, apparizioni di fantasmi, spiritismo. Le sue ricerche trovarono realizzazione in numerosi volumi. In questo lavoro l'autore prova ad affrontare con sguardo scientifico tutte le manifestazioni di musica medianica, catalogando ogni caso incontrato nelle sue ricerche. Il risultato è certamente ricco di spunti non solo per musicisti o per chi è interessato agli aspetti sovrannaturali della vita.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a talent for guiding readers through the mysteries of outer space with stunning clarity and almost childlike enthusiasm. This collection of his essays from Natural History magazine explores a myriad of cosmic topics. Tyson introduces us to the physics of black holes by explaining what would happen to our bodies if we fell into one; he also examines the needless friction between science and religion, and notes Earth's status as "an insignificantly small speck in the cosmos".

Lisa ha vispi occhi scuri, un corpo snello e un bel musetto appuntito. L'hanno trovata boccheggiante in un giardino, probabilmente tramortita da un'auto. Solo Massimo, il veterinario che ha fondato il Centro Recupero Ricci nelle Langhe, può salvarla. Sembra un'impresa disperata, ma né lei né lui si arrendono e dopo una notte di trepidazione, la piccola si rimette in piedi. O quasi, perché il trauma cranico le ha provocato un'emiparesi che l'ha resa disabile. È giusto tenerla così, sapendo che avrà bisogno di cure costanti e non potrà riassaporare la libertà?

La concentrazione di anidride carbonica in atmosfera ha ormai superato la soglia di 400 parti per milione. Arretramento dei ghiacciai, scioglimento delle calotte polari, innalzamento del livello del mare, aumento degli eventi estremi sono imputabili al riscaldamento provocato da questo gas serra che è al centro di una complessa interazione fra uomo e clima. Dall'atmosfera agli oceani, alla biosfera, che cosa è accaduto al nostro pianeta? Quali strumenti abbiamo per contenere i rischi di questa nuova minaccia globale?

Thoreau's classic account of the solitary life, describing his attempts to simplify his life and sort out his priorities by living alone in a cabin beside Walden Pond for nearly two years, is one of the most influential books ever written. The bible of the environmental movement, Walden vividly portrays Thoreau's reverence for nature, and his understanding of the idea that nature is made up of crucially interrelated parts.

Many consider "The Canterville Ghost" the most famous ghost story of all time. It is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and an American ambassador named Mr. Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted castle. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the castle, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted the castle ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, centuries ago.

This is an audio summary of Brain Rules, a book that explores how brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work.

La nostra economia è costruita secondo un modello "lineare": preleviamo risorse naturali dall'ambiente e le restituiamo sotto forma di residui che procurano danni all'ecosistema. È un destino inevitabile, un prezzo necessario da pagare al progresso? Lo abbiamo creduto a lungo, ma ora la natura ci presenta il conto.

We humans are a strange bunch. We have self-awareness and yet often act on impulses that remain hidden. How did we get here? What is to become of us? To these age-old questions, science has in recent years brought powerful tools and reams of data, and in this audiobook, Becoming Human, we look at what this data has to tell us about who we are.
