Algo catastrófico está a punto de suceder; la Tierra se está convirtiendo en la nueva religión a la que los políticos deben rendir culto en las cumbres del clima y en sus discursos diarios.

In questo audiolibro esclusivo Simone Bedetti ti introduce al pensiero di un grande scienziato e filosofo della natura, il premio Nobel per la chimica Ilya Prigogine. Prigogine, tra gli iniziatori della scienza della complessità, noto per le sue teorie sulle strutture dissipative, i sistemi complessi e l'irreversibilità, ha proposto una nuova e radicale visione del mondo riformulando il secondo principio della termodinamica: ogni processo naturale è irreversibile e tende ad aumentare la sua entropia (e quella dell'ambiente in cui si trova).

Gut Reactions by chemist Simon Quellen Field shows us how our bodies react to food and the environment, and how our brain affects what and how much we eat, and in turn, is affected by what we eat. It shows why some diets work for some people but not for others, based on genetics, previous weight history, brain chemistry, environmental cues, and social pressures. It explores how dozens of hormones affect hunger and satiety and interact with the brain and the gut to regulate feeding behavior.

You are among the last in a long line of animals that were the likeliest to survive half a billion years of evolution. But you wouldn't be here today without all other wildlife. Over the past fifty years, we've killed three quarters of the creatures we need to keep ecosystems healthy. Now we have a choice to make: re-find our place among them, or succumb to the power of nature.

Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love?

To date, more than a million insect species have been described, with probably at least another 5-8 million species waiting in the wings for a name. Insects are a fascinatingly diverse and beautiful spectrum of animals. They range in size from the tiny parasitic wasp, measuring a mere 139µm, to the aptly named Titan beetle, which can reach lengths of up to 17cm. They can be found on all continents of the world, from the Sahara Desert to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. While no insects live beneath the waves, the intrepid sea skaters skim the surface of some of the world's oceans.

When Jon Katz got a call from an animal control officer about Simon, a neglected donkey who had been found on a failing farm in upstate New York, he wasn't expecting to add another animal to his already full life. But when he made the trek out to meet him, he couldn't help falling in love with the skinny, mangy donkey who had already suffered so much, and he ended up taking him into his home. It was Simon who listened in the fields as Jon read to him and discussed philosophy.

Why can humans alone invent? In The Pattern Seekers, Cambridge University psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen makes a case that autism is as crucial to our creative and cultural history as the mastery of fire. Indeed, Baron-Cohen argues that autistic people have played a key role in human progress for 70,000 years, from the first tools to the digital revolution. How? Because the same genes that cause autism enable the pattern seeking that is essential to our species' inventiveness.
