Handbook of Prevention and Alzheimer’s Disease
It is almost 120 years since Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was first reported, and the concept of modifiable risk factors associated with the disease has been present from the outset. Thus, the idea of preventing AD is not new, with reference to strategies noted as early as the 1990s. This subfield of AD research has matured in recent years, with the number of modifiable risk factors – the AD preventome – rising from the 7 initially identified to the current 12, with an estimated contribution to dementia cases worldwide of about 40%. This book, the Handbook of Prevention and Alzheimer’s Disease, introduces physicians, scientists, and other stakeholders to this subfield of AD research. It ...
Why Science Needs Art
Why Science Needs Art explores the complex relationship between these seemingly polarised fields. Reflecting on a time when art and science were considered inseparable and symbiotic pursuits, the book discusses how they have historically informed and influenced each other, before considering how public perception of the relationship between these disciplines has fundamentally changed. Science and art have something very important in common: they both seek to reduce something infinitely complex to something simpler. Using examples from diverse areas including microscopy, brain injury, classical art, and data visualization, the book delves into the history of the intersection of these two disc...
Super Senses

Using the very latest cutting-edge research, she explains the exploits of ...

Key Concepts in Modern Indian Studies
Modern Indian studies have recently become a site for new, creative, and thought-provoking debates extending over a broad canvas of crucial issues. As a result of socio-political transformations, certain concepts—such as ahimsa, caste, darshan, and race—have taken on different meanings. Bringing together ideas, issues, and debates salient to modern Indian studies, this volume charts the social, cultural, political, and economic processes at work in the Indian subcontinent. Authored by internationally recognized experts, this volume comprises over one hundred individual entries on concepts central to their respective fields of specialization, highlighting crucial issues and debates in a lucid and concise manner. Each concept is accompanied by a critical analysis of its trajectory and a succinct discussion of its significance in the academic arena as well as in the public sphere. Enhancing the shared framework of understanding about the Indian subcontinent, Key Concepts in Modern Indian Studies will provide the reader with insights into vital debates about the region, underscoring the compelling issues emanating from colonialism and postcolonialism.
Super Sinne - Warum wir 32 davon haben
Wie viele Sinne hat der Mensch? Die klassischen fünf? Oder sechs? Oder sieben? Vielleicht noch mehr? Jüngste Forschungen haben gezeigt, dass wir eigentlich mindestens 32 Sinne haben. Die preisgekrönte Wissenschaftsautorin Emma Young nimmt uns mit auf eine aufregende sensorische Reise und verrät, wie wir Dinge schmecken, ohne unsere Zunge zu benutzen, warum Fluchen gut für uns ist und warum sowohl Schokolade als auch Achterbahnen uns helfen können, uns zu verlieben. Sie zeigt, wie Berührungen Schmerzen lindern, wie das Messen des Pulses uns fitter macht und warum ABBAs Dancing Queen in Bolivien anders klingt. Supersinne enthüllt die Wissenschaft, die hinter Fähigkeiten von blinden Ballerinas, Vodoo Priesteren und einer Krankenschwester, die Parkinson riechen kann, bevor die Krankheit diagnostiziert wird, steckt. Wie können wir alle lernen, unsere Sinne besser zu nutzen? Kann mehr Sensibilität uns glücklicher, gesünder oder gar reicher machen? In diesem Buch finden Sie die Antworten.
