Psykisk dårlig helse tar over som den største helsetrusselen i vår tid. Et høyt tempo, konstant stress og en digital livsstil begynner å påvirke utviklingen av hjernen vår og mental dårlig helse tar over som den viktigste helsetrusselen i vår tid. Uansett hvor mye du liker å se på bilder på instagram, nyhetene på mobilen eller filmer og TV-serier, er ikke hjernen din tilpasset dette tempoet samfunnet i dag har. Men det betyr ikke at vi er maktesløse - med litt mer kunnskap om hvordan hjernen fungerer, innser vi snart at det egentlig handler om enkle og grunnleggende ting. Den menneskelige hjernen er skapt i en helt annen tid, og kanskje vi burde vise det litt mer hensyn. Anders Hansens Skjermhjernen hjelper deg til å få et helt nytt bilde av hva som skjer i hodet ditt og hvordan du kan ta mere hensyn til ditt eget hode. «Aldri i menneskehetens historie har vi endret oss så raskt som de siste tiårene. Men det er ikke bare våre digitale vaner vi har endret. Vi opplever også en annen type stress enn vi gjorde tidligere. Vi sover mindre og er mer stillesittende. Alt dette betyr at hjernen er i en ukjent verden. Denne boken handler om konsekvensene den har for oss.»

In The Theoretical Minimum, world-class physicist Leonard Susskind provided a brilliant first course in classical mechanics, offering readers not an oversimplified introduction but the real thing - everything you need to start doing physics, and nothing more. Now he returns with the next challenge that every aspiring physics buff must tackle: quantum mechanics. Unlike classical mechanics, quantum mechanics is not intuitive - it concerns things so small they are beyond the range of human senses. To understand quantum physics, you need to learn a whole new way of thinking, but then, Susskind reveals, you will discover that it is even more fundamental than classical mechanics. Unlike most popular physics books - which give readers a taste of what physicists know but not what they actually do - Susskind and his co-author Art Friedman teach the maths and equations that are essential to any real understanding of quantum mechanics. Combining crystal-clear explanations, witty and helpful dialogues, and basic exercises, Quantum Mechanics is, to paraphrase Einstein, as simple as possible, but no simpler.

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin's Doubt, Stephen Meyer, presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief?that science and belief in God are ?at war.? Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe. Meyer argues that theism?with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator?best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about ?who? might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind?but the existence of a personal God.
