Three of the most important words in science are I don't know. Not knowing implies a universe of opportunities—the possibility of discovery and surprise. Our understanding of science has advanced immeasurably over the last 500 years, yet many fundamental mysteries of existence persist: How did our universe begin? How big is the universe? Is time travel possible? What’s at the center of a black hole? How did life on Earth arise? Are we alone? What is consciousness, and can we create it?

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.

Why do we vividly recall a traumatic childhood event but forget where we left our keys five minutes ago? How can a scent take us back fifty years while a colleague's name eludes us? In this compact introduction, two leading psychological researchers describe memory—how it works and why it sometimes doesn't; how it can be tricked, trained, or improved; and what changes with time. In a manner as engaging as it is informative, Fergus Craik and Larry Jacoby explain the strengths and weaknesses of memory.

Cada invento o medicamento al que hemos accedido durante la historia de la humanidad, partió siempre de un proceso de hipótesis e investigación. Sin ese paso previo el mundo que conocemos hoy, probablemente, no sería el mismo. Desde los medicamentos de venta libre hasta convertir la niebla en agua potable o la evolución de las metodologías educativas son el resultado de investigaciones titánicas, décadas de trabajo y, algunas veces, eventos inesperados (o suerte). Súmese a Knowledge Commons donde nos sentamos con investigadores de diferentes universidades del mundo para conocer esas ...

John Muir was an early proponent of a view we still hold today—that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. But as this book demonstrates, what Muir was really seeing when he admired the grand vistas of Yosemite and the gold and purple flowers carpeting the Central Valley were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, sowing, pruning, and burning.

जीवन में सफल होने का एकमात्र सूत्र आत्मविश्वास है। इस बात को गांठ बांध लें कि जब तक कोई व्यक्ति खुद से कोई काम नहीं करता, उसे खुद पर विश्वास नहीं होगा। हर व्यक्ति को कामयाबी हासिल करने के लिए सबसे पहले खुद पर आत्मविश्वास होना ...
