Cambridge Fundamentals of Neuroscience in Psychology: The Neuroscience of Intelligence
by Richard J. HaierThis book introduces new and provocative neuroscience research that advances our understanding of intelligence and the brain. Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays a more important role than environment as intelligence develops from childhood, and that intelligence test scores correspond strongly to specific features of the brain assessed with neuroimaging. In understandable language, Richard J. Haier explains cutting-edge techniques based on genetics, DNA, and imaging of brain connectivity and function. He dispels common misconceptions, such as the belief that IQ tests are biased or meaningless, and debunks simple interventions alleged to increase intelligence. Readers will learn about the real possibility of dramatically enhancing intelligence based on neuroscience findings and the positive implications this could have for education and social policy. The text also explores potential controversies surrounding neuro-poverty, neuro-socioeconomic status, and the morality of enhancing intelligence for everyone. Online resources, including additional visuals, animations, questions and links, reinforce the material.

Cambridge Studies in Law and Society: Dementia, Relationality and Law (Cambridge Studies in Law and Society)
by Rosie HardingThe world of dementia care can be a difficult one for carers to navigate, posing new challenges at every stage from diagnosis to end of life. In her ground-breaking investigation, rooted in original empirical data, Rosie Harding explores the regulatory and legal dimensions of caring for a person with dementia. By exploring carers' experiences of dementia care, she critiques the limitations of current approaches to health and social care regulation. This socio-legal work is a new contribution to the study of feminist care ethics, relationality, and vulnerability theory. Duties to Care argues that by understanding the relational contexts that shape everyday experiences of regulatory structures, we will better understand where law is operating to support carers, and where it adds to the difficulties they experience. Ultimately, the challenges that dementia poses will be addressed only if we find solutions that take account of the relationality of life, dementia, and law.

Camel Crazy: A Quest for Miracles in the Mysterious World of Camels
by Christina AdamsIn this page-turning odyssey, a mother on a mission travels the globe — from Bedouin camps in the Middle East to Amish farms in Pennsylvania to camel-herder villages in India — to obtain camel milk, which dramatically helps her son’s autism symptoms.

Adams’s work uncovers studies of camel milk for possible treatment of autism, allergies, diabetes, and immune dysfunction, as well as ancient traditions of healing. But the most fascinating aspect of Adams’s discoveries is the gentle-eyed, mischievous camels themselves. Huge and often unpredictable, they are amazingly intelligent and adaptable. This moving and rollicking ode to “camel people” and the creatures they adore reveals the ways camels touch lives around the world. Includes users’ and buyers’ guides to camel’s milk

Caminar: Las ventajas de descubrir el mundo a pie
by Erling KaggeTras el éxito internacional El silencio en la era del ruido, Erling Kagge nos deleita con un libro sobre el placer de caminar. Libros que respiran y te hacen respirar. «Casi todos los problemas parecen distintos después de un paseo.» Al caminar, con o sin rumbo, nuestro cuerpo viaja a la velocidad de nuestra mente. Solo cuando damos un paso tras otro podemos descubrir la tierra que pisamos, y a nosotros mismos. La capacidad de andar erguidos nos convirtió en lo que somos, y al dejar de caminar abandonamos también nuestra esencia, nos convertimos en otra cosa. Este libro, una agradable caminata en excelente compañía, nos recuerda la alegría de las caminatas, breves o largas, y nos convence de que quien va a pie llega más lejos y vive mejor. En el camino, nuestros pasos se cruzan con figuras como Machado, Heidegger, Thoreau, Neruda o Steve Jobs. Erling Kagge, el autor que nos enseñó a encontrar el silencio en este estruendoso mundo, vuelve con un evocador libro sobre el placer y el equilibrio que se pueden encontrar en tan simple actividad. La crítica ha dicho...«Erling Kagge es un aventurero filosófico, o quizás un filósofo aventurero.»The New York Times «¿Quién mejor que un avezado explorador para hablarnos del silencio? El silencio está en todos lados. Basta con reconocerlo y saborearlo. Toda una filosofía de vida. Y también una nueva forma de lujo que ya tiene numerosos adeptos.»Le Figaro Magazine (sobre El silencio) «Una valiosa guía en la que Kagge da cuenta de los inestimables beneficios de encontrar la quietud. Para él, desconectar no significa alejarse del mundo. Al contrario: se trata de disfrutar más intensamente de la vida y de la compañía.»L'Express (sobre El silencio)
Camino del amor propio: Medicina de la consciencia
by Rodolfo NeiraLas claves para despertar y trabajar un nuevo estado de consciencia basado en el autocuidado y la empatía Rodolfo Neira, médico intensivista y panelista de televisión, advierte los riesgos físicos y mentales de nuestros hábitos cotidianos y aceptados convencionalmente: la sobrecarga laboral, el individualismo, el exitismo, el estrés crónico y, sobre todo, la mala alimentación y la acumulación de disconformidades o frustraciones. Neira explica, entre otros temas, cómo nuestros hábitos alimenticios han gatillado o acentuado patologías. Y, desde un análisis científico, pero también espiritual y filosófico, propaga el autocuidado y la noción de amor a sí mismo para trabajar la felicidad y la ecuanimidad: en otras palabras, ayuda a detectar las costumbres -conscientes o inconscientes- que dañan nuestra salud física y mental para así establecer un cambio progresivo y definitivo.
