Cuando se encierra a un lobo, comienza a dar vueltas en su jaula, se activan sus mecanismos de defensa, su astucia natural se agudiza con el objetivo de escapar y, finalmente, aúlla. Si confinan a un zoólogo documentalista, se pondrá, de inmediato, a investigar acerca del motivo de su aislamiento; pero, cuando le digan que un pangolín y un murciélago son la causa de todo, se dará cuenta de que algo no encaja.

Whether it’s brusque, convincing, fraught with emotion, or dripping with innuendo, language is fundamentally a tool for conveying meaning - a uniquely human magic trick in which you vibrate your vocal cords to make your innermost thoughts pop up in someone else’s mind. You can use it to talk about all sorts of things - from your new labradoodle puppy to the expansive gardens at Versailles, from Roger Federer’s backhand to things that don’t exist at all, like flying pigs.

The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses.

The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles", behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology, psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences....

Scientists often challenge conventional wisdom and spark debates that last for generations. But no scientist has fuelled more debate than Charles Darwin. To some he is the revolutionary 'father' of evolution. To others he is the perverse 'originator' of modern eugenics. In The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, author Benjamin Wiker brings these conflicting identities to light.

Christine Hemp's debut work of nonfiction, Wild Ride Home, is a brilliant memoir, looping themes of finding love and losing love, of going away and coming home, of the wretched course of Alzheimer's, of cancer, of lost pregnancies, of fly fishing and horsemanship, of second chances, and, ultimately, of the triumph of love and family—all told within the framework of the training of a little white horse named Buddy. Wild Ride Home invites the listener into the close Hemp family, which believes beauty and humor outshine the most devastating circumstances.

Ob im Umgang mit Kindern, mit Kollegen und Mitarbeitern, mit alten Menschen und mit uns selbst: Wir sind es gewohnt, alles als Ressource anzusehen. Kein Wunder, dass 'Burn-Out' die Krankheit unserer Zeit ist, dass wir uns vor Krisen nicht retten können. Denn auch eine Gesellschaft kann kollektiv ihre Begeisterungsfähigkeit verlieren, dann dümpelt man in Routinen dahin, man funktioniert, aber man lebt nicht mehr.

Imagine raising an orphaned bear cub, carefully reintroducing her to the wild, then being welcomed back, almost daily, to observe her wild world for more than 17 years. Imagine visiting her in her feeding spots, watching her with her mates and her young, peering into her den, and, over time, observing the lives of all the other wild bears in her territory and surrounding ones. That is what happened to Ben Kilham.

Stefansson’s classic Not By Bread Alone chronicles a 1928 scientific experiment, conducted by the Russell Sage Institute of Pathology at Bellevue Hospital in New York, in which Stefansson and his colleague Dr. Karsten Andersen ate a meat-only diet for one year. The two men stayed healthy and fared very well, leading him to claim that we should reexamine our notion of what foods constitute a healthy diet.

A must listen for any animal lover.

Die aktuelle Demenz-Forschung ist der Überzeugung, dass Demenz durch altersbedingte Abbauprozesse und Ablagerungen im Gehirn verursacht wird. Leicht verständlich und mit überzeugenden Argumenten macht Gerald Hüther, einer der führenden Hirnforscher, deutlich, dass diese im letzten Jahrhundert entwickelte Vorstellung nicht nur unzutreffend ist. Sie hat auch den Blick für das Phänomen verstellt, das tatsächlich für die Herausbildung von Demenz verantwortlich ist.

Würde ist ein großer Begriff. Gleich in Artikel 1 des Grundgesetzes heißt es: "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." Doch was genau ist Würde? Was bedeutet es, wenn uns unsere Würde genommen wird, weil wir etwa in der digitalen Welt nur noch als Datensatz zählen oder im Netz geschmäht werden? Wenn wir uns selbst würdelos verhalten oder andere entwürdigen?
