Albert Einstein remains renowned around the world for revolutionizing our understanding of the cosmos, but very few realize that the celebrated scientist had a deep spiritual side. Einstein believed that one wondrous force was woven through all things everywhere—and this sense of the pervasive sacred influenced every aspect of his existence, from his marvelous science to his passionate pacifism.

¿Qué es el calentamiento global? ¿En qué consiste la crisis climática? ¿Cuándo inició? ¿Hay vuelta atrás? ¿Viviremos en el mundo de Wall-E? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que adolescentes y jóvenes se han hecho en el último tiempo a raíz de los problemas medioambientales que afectan a nuestro planeta.

People behave in strange ways. We sometimes giggle when someone falls down, swear we've been to places we haven't, or continue believing in something despite scientific evidence to the contrary. For more than a decade, Scientific American MIND's long-running feature "Ask the Brains" has addressed questions from their readers on the quirks and quandaries of human behavior, psychology, and neurology. Here, in Ask the Brains, Part 1, they’ve compiled some of the best and most interesting inquiries about the human brain.

Human Anatomy & Physiology - Part 2 is a college introductory-level text read in a conversational manner. Within each section key words and concepts are introduced and discussed. The audio format allows students to make the most of their time by giving them the freedom to study by listening.

With Evolutionary Psychology I and II, Allen D. MacNeill of Cornell University led a thought-provoking series of lectures on why people do the things they do. In Evolutionary Biology I, MacNeill addresses a different side of the coin by examining the biological component, from Charles Darwin’s and Gregor Mendel’s “dangerous ideas” to contemporary thought leaders and the forming of the modern synthesis of this vital field of study.

It seems like every time a new mother turns on her computer, radio, or television she is greeted with news of yet another scientific study about infancy. Ignoring good information isn't the right course, but just how does one tell the difference between solid studies, preliminary results, and snake oil? In this friendly guide through the science of infancy, Science of Mom blogger and PhD scientist Alice Callahan explains how nonscientist mothers can learn the difference between hype and evidence.

Audio Journeys exploration of The Cornell Lab, one of the largest nature research and conservation organizations in the world, continues behind the scenes with researchers and biologists.

Getting Pregnant for Dummies offers up-to-date advice on the current methods and treatments to assist in conception. This guide will help you understand why infertility occurs, its contributing risk factors, and the steps to take to increase the chances of giving birth. From in vitro fertilization to third party reproduction (donor sperm or eggs and gestational surrogacy) to lifestyle changes to understanding genetic information to insurance, legal and medication considerations, this book covers all the information you need to navigate your way to the best possible results.

The director of the Forensic Science Program at Pennsylvania State University, Professor Robert C. Shaler leads a comprehensive study of the intricacies of an intriguing, and always topical, science. In these lectures, Shaler imparts a clear understanding of crime scene investigation, from archiving the scene to the presentation of evidence in court proceedings. Covering everything from fingermarks and bloodstains to 3-D imaging and microbial forensics, the course is an essential guide for anyone intrigued by this riveting subject.

In questa puntata, la seconda dedicata alla Crittografia, racconteremo come, a partire dalla seconda metà del secolo scorso, le tecniche crittografiche abbiano avuto un'evoluzione rapidissima: a favore dei crittografi, grazie all'introduzione di cifrature basate sulle importanti scoperte fatte dai matematici sui numeri primi e le loro proprietà, mentre a favore dei crittoanalisti grazie all'introduzione dei moderni calcolatori elettronici, capaci di eseguire moltissimi calcoli matematici in tempi brevissimi.

In questa puntata, la seconda dedicata ai vari tipi di numero, ripartiremo dai numeri razionali per scoprire i numeri irrazionali, raccontando di come Pitagora venne tradito dal suo stesso teorema. Scopriremo che non solo i numeri irrazionali, come ad esempio il famoso p, ci circondano insieme a tutti gli altri numeri, ma anche che sanno esprimere meglio di tutti l'armonia delle misure, nelle forme naturali come negli edifici e che proprio per questo si ritrovano nella Pittura, nella Scultura e nell'Architettura.

Questa puntata è dedicata ai vari tipi di numero che, nel corso della storia e dello sviluppo della Matematica, i matematici (ma non solo loro) hanno introdotto per studiare e, a volte, risolvere i problemi che la quotidianità ci sottopone.

Questa puntata è dedicata alla Teoria della Probabilità, quel ramo della Matematica che studia le leggi che governano il comportamento di fenomeni casuali, come il lancio di monete o di dadi. In questa prima parte, insieme a qualche accenno riguardo alla sua nascita nella forma classica nel XVII secolo grazie ai quesiti del Cavaliere de Méré, descriveremo le sue prime e più semplici leggi, che però già ci permetteranno di risolvere qualche curioso paradosso, come quello dei compleanni, o il famoso paradosso di Monty Hall.

Questa puntata è dedicata alla Crittografia, l'insieme di tecniche e stratagemmi che consentono di cifrare un messaggio o, viceversa, decifrare un messaggio "in codice"(ma i matematici dicono "cifrato"). In questa prima parte partiremo dalle tecniche crittografiche più antiche e arriveremo fino al famoso Codice Enigma, mostrando quanta Matematica può essere usata per cifrare e decifrare messaggi.

In questa puntata, la seconda dedicata alla Teoria della Probabilità, proseguiremo nello studio dei giochi d'azzardo e prendendo spunto dal gioco della roulette stabiliremo in modo preciso cosa vuol dire che un gioco è equo (per il giocatore). Ovviamente, scopriremo che, chi di più e chi molto di più, nessun gioco d'azzardo è equo. Usando poi la Legge dei Grandi Numeri, illustreremo anche come siano una bufala colossale le convinzioni di molti giocatori riguardo ai numeri ritardatari nel gioco del Lotto.

This is the first audiobook in a series that teaches basic chemistry. This book focuses on defining chemistry as a science,states of matter, properties of matter, introducing the periodic table, metric system, and naming compounds. This book starts out the series that will build a general understanding of chemistry and science.

In this book, some of the basic information and background into biology is broken down and explained. This serves as a quick and fast to the point introduction to biology. Some of the concepts explored include cell structure, taxonomy, biochemistry, and systems biology. With listening to this book, one could explain some of the simpler concepts of biology in a short time.

The most valuable investment any society makes is in its children, the next generation. The more we learn about the fetus the better we are able to understand the problems and abnormalities that can occur during development. Dr. Peter Nathanielsz, the first to demonstrate that the fetal brain delivers the signals that start the process of birth, reviews the recent explosion of information on fetal development during the second half of pregnancy.

Nanotechnology is radically altering the world in ways almost unimaginable in only the very recent past. With applications in arenas from medicine and science to warfare and even the world of sports, nanotechnology opens the doorway to a vast array of breathtaking possibilities. In this series of clearly articulated lectures, Professor Deborah Gibbs Sauder explores the world of nanotechnology and all its astounding applications, while also examining the ethical issues raised by the science and the impact nanotechnology is having on big business.
