A cutting-edge account of the latest science of autism, from the best-selling author and advocate When Temple Grandin was born in 1947, autism had only just been named. Today it is more prevalent than ever, with one in 88 children diagnosed on the spectrum. And our thinking about it has...

Walter Isaacson vertelt het verhaal van DNA-expert en Nobelprijswinnaar Jennifer Doudna. In oktober 2020 ontving biochemicus Jennifer Doudna samen met haar collega Emmanuelle Charpentier de Nobelprijs voor de Scheikunde voor hun doorslaggevende bijdrage aan de ontwikkeling van CRISPR-Cas. Met deze techniek kunnen wetenschappers het menselijk genoom bewerken door te knippen en plakken in DNA-sequenties.

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.

Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed.

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.

Binary is the ultimate guide for understanding and dismantling the sex spectrum, the new cultural belief that sex exists on a continuum and that male and female are social constructs. By analyzing its 10 most popular arguments, Zachary A. Elliott reveals how the tenets of the sex spectrum deny evolution, development, and genetics. Using the primary biology literature, the book provides the listener with a comprehensive scientific understanding of how the two sexes are universal phenomena and how complex genetic networks consistently result in a simple yet profound outcome: male or female.

Spectrum is a podcast looking at the relationships we all have with gender and how those relationships are shaped by the world around us.

What is color? Not just pigment. Not just light. Not even just perception. Color is a system. A language written in wavelengths, built by biology, shaped by culture, and weaponized by power. From ancient dyes to modern marketing, from the psychology of red to the physics of violet, COLOR is a vibrant walk through everything we think we see… and everything we’ve been trained to feel. Explore how the brain edits the spectrum, how flags and uniforms manipulate emotion, how art history is lined with poison, and why no one saw “blue” until they invented a word for it. This is not a book about art.

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.

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.

Forget everything you ever read in a textbook when it comes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and sepsis complications – because they rarely play by the rules. They evolve, adapt, and strike before it’s too late. While classic symptoms like fever, tachycardia, and hypotension are well known, the real challenge lies in recognizing the unexpected to reduce your mental list of those unknown, unknowns. Hosted by Critical Care RN & CNS Author Nicole Kupchik, The Sepsis Spectrum is an exploration of real-world patient cases, expert insights, and clinical deep dives to unravel the most complex ...

Navigating Complexity explores the defining questions of our time, how human beings make sense of themselves and their choices in a world that never stands still. The book introduces the SPARC framework, short for the Spectrum of Possibility and Recursive Choice, a model that connects philosophy, cognitive science, and systems theory to rethink how we understand behavior, autonomy, and identity.

In an era defined by rapid change and interconnectivity, Neodynamics emerges as a groundbreaking framework for understanding and designing systems that thrive in complexity. Drawing on principles from systems theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and beyond, this book unites technical rigor with visionary insight to present a science of potential, agency, and flourishing.
