What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist Gregory Berns and his team began with a radical step: they taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner - completely awake. They discovered what makes dogs individuals with varying capacities for self-control, different value systems, and a complex understanding of human speech. And dogs were just the beginning. In What It's Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from dolphins and sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger.

All ancient and indigenous peoples insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves and not through trial-and-error experimentation. Less well known is that many Western peoples made this same assertion. There are, in fact, two modes of cognition available to all human beings - the brain-based linear and the heart-based holistic. The heart-centered mode of perception can be exceptionally accurate and detailed....

We live in an age of mass extinction. The earth's biodiversity is decreasing at a faster rate than ever. Industrial agriculture and the standardisation of taste are not only wiping out many edible plants but also the food cultures, histories and livelihoods that go with them. Inspired by a global project to collect and preserve foods that are at risk of extinction, Dan Saladino sets out to encounter these endangered foods.

Современные исследования показывают, что продление жизни на 10 или 20 лет—не предел для современных медицинских технологий. Исследователи и предприниматели работают над преодолением так называемого видового предела продолжительности жизни человека в 120–150 лет, что требует более агрессивных подходов, чем последовательное искоренение возрастных изменений. Впереди сложный и интересный путь, а в случае успеха нас ждет невероятный приз—полная остановка старения человека.

Выпускница колледжа не может вспомнить, завтракала ли она, а к обеду уже привязана к больничной койке и не сомневается, что воюет с зомби. Счастливый влюбленный планирует сделать предложение избраннице на роскошном курорте, но внезапно приходит в ярость, а его тело сотрясают такие сильные спазмы, что он чуть не откусывает себе язык. Бедные фермеры в Южной Каролине один за другим умирают от загадочной эпидемии слабоумия, сопровождающегося странной кожной сыпью и зудом. Это не сценарий мистического триллера, а реальные истории людей с неврологическими заболеваниями.

Мы наслаждаемся утренним кофе или изысканным ужином, по большому счету ничего не зная о сложном взаимодействии между вкусовыми ощущениями наших рецепторов, запахом, осязанием, зрением и даже нашими ожиданиями, которое и создает то, что мы называем «вкус». Хотя мы сталкиваемся со вкусом по несколько раз в день, мы крайне мало знаем о нем и поэтому просто не замечаем мельчайших деталей того, что едим или пьем. В результате весь богатейший мир вкуса сводится для нас к некоему «фоновому» ощущению.
