IMAGES OF MAN IN THE MIRROR OF SCIENCE.

Exploring the biological foundations of emotions and the human psyche, this book presents a compelling journey through the mind. It features gripping clinical stories that reveal the complexities of mental health, highlighting both the struggles and triumphs of individuals. By intertwining science with personal narratives, it offers profound insights into how our inner worlds are shaped by biology, providing a deeper understanding of emotional experiences.

After five centuries of remarkable discovery, science is still only at its beginning. What we know now is only a tiny fraction of what we have still to understand. This book is an account of what is still to be found out if our understanding of the world is to be fuller. Written for the general reader.

Most books about the environmental crisis are densely academic, depressingly doom-laden and crammed with impersonal statistics. We are the Weather is different - accessible, immediate and with a single clear solution that individual readers can put into practice straight away. A significant proportion of global carbon emissions come from farming meat. Giving up meat is incredibly hard and nobody is perfect - but just cutting back is much easier and still has a huge positive effect on the environment. Just changing our dinners - cutting out meat for one meal per day - is enough to change the world. With his distinctive wit, insight and humanity, Foer frames this essential debate as no one else could, bringing it to vivid and urgent life.
