Second Thoughts

"Justice"Delve into the real world of justice, where if truth be told is not justice at all but rather greed, vanity, and lack of integrity."Trickster"The mind is powerful and can make you believe, see, and hear what may or may not be true. Trickster is the mind creating its own realities in this story about PTSD."The American Nightmare"Have you dreamt of the American dream? This is a story about two generations that work desperately to grasp the dream, only to discover real dreams are expensive and most end in a nightmare."Punch"Punch is an emotional service dog that can identify individuals under extreme stress.

Into the Dark

'Often poetic ... highly-researched and thought-provoking' New Scientist'Gently and thoughtfully enquiring' The SpectatorCan you remember the first time you encountered true darkness? The kind that remains as black and inky whether your eyes are open or closed? Where you can't see your hand in front of your face?Jacqueline Yallop can. It was in an unfamiliar bedroom while holidaying in Yorkshire as a child, and ever since then she has been fascinated by the dark, by our efforts to capture or avoid it, by the meanings we give to it and the way our brains process it.Taking a journey into the dark secrets of place, body and mind, she documents a series of night-time walks, exploring both the physical realities of darkness and the psychological dark that helps shape our sense of self. Exploring our enduring love-hate relationship with states of darkness, she considers how we attempt to understand and contain the dark, and, as she comes to terms with her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's, she reflects on how our relationship with the dark can change with time and circumstance.Darkness captivates, baffles and appals us. It's a shifty thing of many textures and many moods. It can be an absence and a presence, a solace and a threat, a beginning and an end. Into the Dark is the story of the many darks that fascinate and assail us. It faces the darkness in all its guises and mysteries, celebrating it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void.

Die Illusion der Vernunft

WIESO GLAUBEN SIE, DASS SIE RECHT HABEN?Wie ist es möglich, dass Menschen felsenfest von Dingen überzeugt sein können, die eindeutig falsch sind? Sind sie einfach nur schlecht infor- miert? Oder liegt es daran, dass sie gern nur das glauben, was sie glauben möchten? Alle Menschen sind irrational - auch die, die von ihrer Rationalität überzeugt sind. Der Neurologe, Psychiater und Hirnforscher Philipp Sterzer erklärt, warum das so ist und welche Schlüsse wir daraus ziehen können. Ein neuer Blick auf subjektives Erleben, soziales Bewusstsein und die Wahrnehmung der Welt.'Sterzer führt so überzeugend durch sein Forschungsfeld, dass auch dem besonnensten Leser aufgeht, wie unvernünftig er häufig ist.'FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG'Hochspannend zu lesen, wie logisch die Unvernunft ist' MDR-WISSEN.DE
