A 3lb mass of moist biological matter, the brain is locked away in the dark and silent fortress of the skull, and yet somehow it produces the extraordinary multi-sensory experience that comprises us, every day of our lives. Just how it does this is revealed through six fascinating chapters, as Eagleman shows how the brain - a great storyteller - constructs reality and allows us to navigate a complex world of decision-making. Eagleman also takes the long view of the human brain's trajectory in the coming centuries and millennia, asking pertinent questions about our future.

Toto nie je rodičovská príručka, ale skutočný život! Nanič mama je senzácia na Facebooku aj v blogerskom svete. Tisíce fanúšikov s nadšením sledujú jej príspevky, v ktorých prináša vtipný a dokonale úprimný opis materstva. Od najúžasnejších okamihov v živote rodiča až po najťažšie chvíle, keď sa človeka zmocní pocit, že nebol stvorený mať deti. Tento neprifarbený portrét materstva si získal srdcia rodičov na celom svete. Nanič mama sa nevyhýba nijakej téme: od tehotenstiev, keď ani trošku nežiarila, po zdanlivo nekonečné nočné kŕmenie, od prvých ciest do materských centier po návrat do práce, od detských záchvatov vzdoru po praktické rady, ktoré sa vám zídu v pekle detských zábavných centier. Táto kniha vám nepovie, ako byť rodičom, čo kupovať ani ako sa cítiť. Jej osviežujúca priamočiarosť vás však bezpochyby rozosmeje a možno aj rozplače. Navyše si pri nej s úľavou vydýchnete, že v tom nie ste sami.

Chloe Benson wakes up kidnapped and bound in an underground tomb with no memory of how she got there. She manages to escape but no one believes her story--not the police, not the doctors, and especially not her husband, Liam. When she suspects Liam is lying to her, Chloe is forced to retrace her past, following in her own footsteps to find the truth and stay alive. But who is following Chloe? Look behind you. You never know who's out there. #1 UK Kindle Bestseller Revised edition: This edition of Look Behind You includes editorial revisions.

Ash is used to taking hits on the field for his high school football team until he takes one that doesn't just impact his body, but his whole reality. It starts with one small shift, but with every game, every hit, Ash finds himself pushed through a succession of universes almost-but-not-really like his own, until the small shifts in reality become significant shifts in Ash's own identity. As Ash experiences life from other perspectives, he starts to question the world he thought he knew, as well as the ones he finds himself catapulted into. For better or worse, the one thing Ash knows is that he's got to find a way to put things back.
