Ergebnis für "David" in Wissenschaft

Mit einfachen Bio-Hacks zu mehr Erfolg und Wohlbefinden: sechs körpereigene Antreiber, mit denen Sie im Handumdrehen Ihr Leben verbessern. Wer kennt das nicht: Ein wichtiger Termin steht bevor, aber vor lauter Aufregung bringen Sie keinen klaren Gedanken zusammen. Die Botenstoffe im Körper sind falsch eingestellt, statt sympathisch und kompetent kommen Sie gestresst und fahrig herüber, und so hilft nur ein falsches Lächeln.

From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated.

A bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. In this important new book, David Deutsch, an award-winning pioneer in the field of quantum computation, argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe.

Nur zwei große Lebensräume unserer Erde sind scheinbar über lange Zeiträume hinweg gleich geblieben: der Dschungel und das Meer. Doch selbst die Landmassen, auf denen der Urwald liegt, haben sich aufgrund der Kontinentalverschiebungen verändert, und die Aufspal­tung und Verschmelzung der Kontinente hatten Auswirkungen auf die Ausdehnung der warmen, flachen Küstenmeere.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the book’s first publication, David Attenborough has revisited Life on Earth, completely updating and adding to the original text, taking account of modern scientific discoveries from around the globe....

Author of the New York Times best seller The Beginning of Infinity, David Deutsch, explores the four most fundamental strands of human knowledge: quantum physics, and the theories of knowledge, computation, and evolution - and their unexpected connections. Taken together, these four strands reveal a deeply integrated, rational, and optimistic worldview. It describes a unified fabric of reality that is objective and comprehensible, in which human action and thought are central.

Bei His2Go veröffentlichen wir immer am 10. 20. und 30. des Monats eine neue Folge. Dabei führen wir euch auf der Grundlage von Fragen und Hypothesen abwechselnd durch spannende, einzigartige und manchmal auch skurrile Momente der Weltgeschichte. Wir, das sind David und Victor, zwei junge Historiker aus Freiburg, die während dem Genuss eines Getränks die Eigentümlichkeiten der Menschen über alle Epochen und Kontinente hinweg zur Schau stellen. Dabei überraschen wir immer die ahnungslosen Zuhörenden wie auch den jeweils anderen, dessen Vorwissen einer knallharten Prüfung unterzogen ...

Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them. In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. 

Können wir wirklich so weitermachen? Wie sollen wir mit Tieren umgehen? Wir lieben und hassen, wir verzärteln und essen sie. Doch ist unser Umgang richtig und moralisch vertretbar? Richard David Precht untersucht mit Scharfsinn, Witz und Kenntnisreichtum quer durch alle Disziplinen die Strukturen unserer Denkmodelle. Ist der Mensch nicht auch ein Tier - und was trennt ihn dann von anderen Tieren? Welche Konsequenzen hat das für uns?

A trailblazing account of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution—from the development of agriculture and cities to the emergence of "the state", political violence, and social inequality—and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is not only fascinating and beautiful, it is the engine of all the world's natural cycles, and the source of many of the resources on which humanity depends. Concern about biodiversity conservation is, therefore, not merely the preoccupation of a few enthusiastic naturalists—it is the lifeline business of everybody.

How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? What does a baby born without a nose tell us about our sensory machinery? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts? And what does any of this have to do with why we dream? The answers to these questions are not right in front of our eyes; they're right behind our eyes. This book is not simply about what the brain is but what it does. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new findings from Eagleman's own research.

Die beiden Historiker David Neuhäuser und Felix Melching stellen zweimal im Monat spannende Geschichten von Alexander dem Großen bis ins 21. Jahrhundert vor. Der Podcast wird präsentiert von DAMALS – Das Magazin für Geschichte.

Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you're consciously aware of danger? Why do you notice when your name is mentioned in a conversation that you didn't think you were listening to? Why are people whose name begins with J more likely to marry other people whose name begins with J? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? Renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate these surprising mysteries.

I am 93. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline.

Die heute schon spürbaren und die schlimmstmöglichen Folgen der Klimaerwärmung sind das Thema des Journalisten David Wallace-Wells in diesem spektakulären Report. Wie kann und wird das Leben auf der Erde in nur 40, 50, 60 Jahren aussehen? Sicher ist: Heutige Teenager und Kinder werden noch erleben, wie sich die Bedingungen für die Menschheit auf der Erde dramatisch verschlechtern, sie werden erleben, wie sie in Teilen unbewohnbar wird. Wallace-Wells macht die vielen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse, die die Mehrheit der Menschen oft gar nicht erreichen, begreifbar, ja fühlbar.

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day - and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History", the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.

Birds. Over 9,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song. David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it.

With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from. Chasing down our evolutionary family tree, from the first aquatic creatures to primate societies, David Baker sheds light on our baffling array of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and guides us toward a clear understanding of one of the deepest, most abiding forces of human nature.
