The Brain (Ponderables)
$39.95
The brain's cells are wired together with 100 trillion connections. That makes each and every human brain a contender as the most complex system in the universe, a system that endows us with an intellect that far outstripsthat of any other creature. However, there is one difficult question remaining: Are we intelligent enough to understand our own brains?Follow the journey as history's greatest brains, such as Avicenna, Thomas Willis, Charles Darwin, and Paul Broca, try to figure it out by linking the structure of the brain to its functions. How does the brain control the body, how does it make sense of our surroundings, and allow us to understand, empathise with and love other people (and their brains)? And how does it create that most mysterious feature of the universe-consciousness.* Contains 100 chronological articles that tell the story of neuroscience from the dawn of history to the present day.* Authoritative text, exciting imagery, and helpful diagrams accompany each of the steps along the way.* Biographies of great neuroscientists and a functional map of the brain boosts the contents for all readers.*A simple guide to neuroscience draws together current understanding to set out the basics of the field.* 100 Ponderables also contains a 24-page removable foldout concertina neatly housed at the back of the book.

Critically acclaimed world-wide (including the Toronto, the London and the Sundance Film Festival), the biggest local box-office smash in years stars Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park"), Kevin Harrington ("TV's SeaChange"), Tom Long ("Two Hands") and Patrick Warburton ("TV's "Seinfeld", "Sream 3").

The Elegant Universe
$29.95
"develops one fresh new insight after another...In the great tradition of physicists writing for the masses, The Elegant Universe sets a standard that will be hard to beat." -- The New York Times Book Review
In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.
Green uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to illustrate the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling. Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of science writing-a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.
