Physicist and entrepreneur Safi Bahcall reveals a surprising new way of thinking about the mysteries of group behavior that challenges everything we thought we knew about nurturing radical breakthroughs. Drawing on the science of phase transitions, Bahcall reveals why teams, companies, or any group with a mission will suddenly change from embracing wild new ideas to rigidly rejecting them.

Few organizations solve as many impossible problems as NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and nobody knows more about leading rocket scientists to unlikely breakthroughs than Adam Steltzner. As the phase lead and development manager for EDL (entry, descent, and landing) of the Curiosity rover to Mars, Steltzner spearheaded the creation of one of engineering's wackiest kluges - the sky crane, which allowed the heaviest rover in the history of space exploration to land on Mars unscathed.

As smartphones, supercomputers, supercolliders, and AI propel us into an ever more unfamiliar future, How to Speak Science takes us on a rollicking historical tour of the greatest discoveries and ideas that make today's cutting-edge technologies possible. Wanting everyone to be able to "speak" science, YouTube science guru Bruce Benamran explains - as accessibly and wittily as in his acclaimed videos - the fundamental ideas of the physical world: matter, life, the solar system, light, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, and much more.

When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

It may surprise you to learn that there are over seven million horses in America - even more than when they were the only means of transportation - and nearly two million horse owners. Acclaimed journalist and avid equestrian Sarah Maslin Nir is one of them; she began riding horses when she was just two years old and hasn’t stopped since. Horse Crazy is a fascinating, funny, and moving love letter to these graceful animals and the people who - like her - are obsessed with them.

Anmutige Tänzer, Meister der Tarnung und romantische Liebende, doch auch schwerhörige Vielfraße, launische Griesgrame und langsame Faulpelze: All das und mehr sind Seepferdchen. Man findet die kleinen Fische nicht nur in Seegras­wiesen und Mangrovenwäldern, sondern ebenso im Schachspiel und in griechischen Sagen - und wie kommen sie eigentlich auf Kinderbadeanzüge, Geldmünzen und Toilettenschüsseln aus dem alten Rom? Was macht sie trotz ihrer Trägheit zu erstklassigen Jägern, warum ist ein Hirnareal nach ihnen benannt, wie können sie uns helfen, besser zu schlafen, und sogar die Robotik inspirieren? Unterhaltsam und informativ erzählt Till Hein von kuriosen Erkenntnissen der aktuellen Forschung, geht Mythen auf den Grund und lüftet so Geheimnisse über die verrückten Pferde der See.
