Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2021. In Sweden, refugee children fall asleep for months and years at a time. In upstate New York, high school students develop contagious seizures. In the US Embassy in Cuba, employees complain of headaches and memory loss after hearing strange noises in the night. These disparate cases are some of the most remarkable diagnostic mysteries of the twenty-first century, as both doctors and scientists have struggled to explain them within the boundaries of medical science and - more crucially - to treat them. What unites them is that they are all examples of a particular ... |

The toxicity of heavy metals is a major threat to mankind. These metals possess no biological role, but they are harmful to the human body and its proper functioning. Their adverse effects manifest severe health risks. Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants contaminating terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems as well as air. Released in the environment, they accumulate in plants and further in animals and via the food chain enter the human body. In each country diverse precautions are in action to protect the public health from these pollutants. Different standards adopted by EC are applied to control, prevent ... |

The Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst. ... Why do human beings behave as they do? We are capable of savage acts of violence but also spectacular feats of kindness: is one side of our nature destined to win out over the other?

How looking backward moves us forward. Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the no regrets philosophy of life. And using the largest sampling of American attitudes about regret ever conducted as well as his own World Regret Survey which has collected regrets from more than 15,000 people in 105 countries he lays out the four core regrets that each of us has. These deep regrets offer compelling insights into how we live and how we can find a better path forward. As he did in his bestsellers Drive, When, and A Whole New Mind, Pink lays out a dynamic new way of ... |

When the young naturalist Darwin set sail on a round the world expedition at the end of 1831, it was only with a vague notion that the relationships between all life forms, both present and extinct, were more complex than the Christian version of the world's creation purported them to be. During his five year voyage of discovery on board HMS Beagle and more than two decades subsequently devoted to research, he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galápagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for the theory of natural selection, ... |
