In Spectrums, David Blatner blends narrative and illustration to illuminate the variety of spectrums that affect our lives every day: numbers, size, light, sound, heat, and time. With easy-to-comprehend, engaging, and insightful observations, and brilliant photographs and diagrams, Blatner helps us "grok" - to understand intuitively - the six primary spectrums, making our daily lives richer and more meaningful through greater appreciation of the bizarre and beautiful world in which we live.

Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of eight, Dr Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science.

Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers - but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered is only half of science's story. Unexplained will explore the frontier between what we do and don't know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science's established laws. Dr Camilla Pang will teach you to embrace the beauty in the unexplained and fall in love with the search for unknown answers.

Aged 11, the eldest stops eating and speaking, while her younger sister struggles to cope. Slowly, alongside diagnoses of autism and selective mutism, their desperate parents become aware of another source for their firstborn daughter's distress: her imperilled future on a rapidly heating planet.

Bestseller over cijfers en feiten. Wat is nu de gemiddelde levensverwachting in de wereld? Hoeveel meisjes maken de basisschool af? Welk percentage van de wereldbevolking leeft in armoede? Op eenvoudige vragen over wereldwijde trends geven we systematisch de verkeerde antwoorden. Het is zelfs zo erg dat een chimpansee die willekeurig antwoorden kiest consequent leraren, journalisten, Nobelprijswinnaars en studenten overtreft. In Feitenkennis legt hoogleraar Internationale Gezondheid en wereldfenomeen Hans Rosling uit waarom dit gebeurt.

To make this groundbreaking audiobook, Dr. James Lyons-Weiler combed through the past fifty years of published research on autism, exploring subjects such as genetic variation, mechanisms of neurotoxicity of metals and pesticides, and the central and combined roles of each in causing autism.

Henry Markram is the Elon Musk of neuroscience, the man behind the billion-dollar Blue Brain Project to build a supercomputer model of the brain. He has set the goal of decoding all disturbances of the mind within a generation. This quest is personal for him. The driving force behind his grand ambition has been his son Kai, who has autism. Raising Kai made Henry Markram question all that he thought he knew about neuroscience, and then inspired his groundbreaking research that would upend the conventional wisdom about autism, expressed in his now-famous theory of Intense World Syndrome.

Een revolutionaire kijk op de geschiedenis van klimaatverandering door Peter Frankopan. Wanneer we het over de wereldgeschiedenis hebben, denken we doorgaans niet meteen aan de zwaarste overstromingen, de hardnekkigste droogteperiodes of de veranderende ecosystemen. Maar in de lange geschiedenis van onze planeet is geen element zo allesbepalend geweest als de natuur. Vulkaanuitbarstingen, aardverschuivingen, klimaatveranderingen en andere transformaties hebben een cruciale rol gespeeld in het verloop van de geschiedenis – en zullen ook in de toekomst allesbepalend zijn.

Undercover in de harde realiteit van de bio-industrie. We hebben wel een vermoeden waar ons kroketje, onze cappuccino en ons eitje vandaan komen, maar daar laten we het liever bij. Zo niet Roel Binnendijk. Drie jaar lang werkte hij undercover in stallen, veetransporten en een groot slachthuis. Met een verborgen camera verzamelde hij talloze bewijzen van ernstige dierenmishandeling en intimidatie van medewerkers. Zijn werk werd opgepikt door internationale media, leidde tot grote opschudding in de Nederlandse politiek en vormt inmiddels de aanleiding voor nieuwe regelgeving.

I'm Ryan, and I have Autism. From the Spectrum is a podcast about Autism. I am on a mission to explain a likely cause of Autism. Autism suddenly shows up in human evolution, and it seems to be a biological adaption (neuroplasticity) to an environmental change used by living organisms for life- light. Maybe, people fail to understand how living organisms use the energy from light to drive biochemistry. In addition, I want to explain Autism. I use various scientific literature, personal experiences, and opinion. With opinion, I will explain why I feel the way I do, and give examples. I will ...

Het meeslepende verhaal van een van de grootste vulkaanuitbarstingen aller tijden. In april 1815 vond op het eiland Soembawa, in het toenmalige Nederlands-Indië, de grootste vulkaanuitbarsting sinds mensenheugenis plaats. Deze uitbarsting verbijsterde behalve de plaatselijke bevolking ook de koloniale overheersers. De enorme aswolk die na de eruptie over de wereld dreef, zorgde voor hagel op Sri Lanka en sneeuw in het zuiden van de VS. Twee natuurverschijnselen die daarvoor én daarna nooit meer zijn waargenomen. Het boek volgt de wolk die na de uitbarsting over de hele wereld heen trekt.
