An authoritative overview of current research on human attention, emphasizing the relation between cognitive phenomena observed in the laboratory and in the real world. Laboratory research on human attention has often been conducted under conditions that bear little resemblance to the complexity of our everyday lives. Although this research has yielded interesting discoveries, few scholars have truly connected these findings to natural experiences. This book bridges the gap between “laboratory and life” by bringing together cutting-edge research using traditional methodologies with research that focuses on attention in everyday contexts. It offers definitive reviews by both established and rising research stars on foundational topics such as visual attention and cognitive control, underrepresented domains such as auditory and temporal attention, and emerging areas of investigation such as mind wandering and embodied attention. The contributors discuss a range of approaches and methodologies, including psychophysics, mental chronometry, stationary and mobile eye-tracking, and electrophysiological and functional brain imaging. Chapters on everyday attention consider such diverse activities as driving, shopping, reading, multitasking, and playing videogames. All chapters present their topics in the same overall format: historical context, current research, the possible integration of laboratory and real-world approaches, future directions, and key and outstanding issues.

"Don't miss this fantastic book" - Haywood SmithFrom Benjamin Franklin there comes the old adage : For want of the nail, the shoe was lost : For want the shoe, the rider was lost : For want of the rider, the battle was lost: For want of the battle an empire was lost : The empire was lost all for the want of a nail.How often does that really happen? That a single tiny mistake causes an entire civilization to collapse? The reader will be amazed how often it happens over and over again. Some examples as follows: - A single document poorly designed by one single clerk in one single county changed the outcome of a presidential election and led directly to a major war. - A soldier accidentally kicks a helmet off of the top of a wall and causes an empire to collapse. - A small mechanical device several inches long fails to function ; This changes the outcome of WWII and leads to the death of millions of people. - A man who was president of a nation was also commanding a large army in the field facing a dangerous enemy. But when the expected attack from the enemy came, he was in his tent, high on opium, cavorting with a beautiful young slave woman. The battle led to the founding of a new nation and a famous song was later written about the beautiful young woman. These and many more: Hypnotic and addictive, this book is a review of the seemingly tiny mistakes that led to the collapse of grand civilizations. Human weakness at it very worst at critical moments. The Butterfly Effect in human history: The many tiny mistakes that changed the world we live in today.

It’s hands-on science with a capital “E”—for engineering. Beginning with the toppling of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, to the destructive, laserlike sunbeams bouncing off London’s infamous “Fryscraper” in 2013, here is an illustrated tour of the greatest engineering disasters in history, from the bestselling author of The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science. Each engineering disaster includes a simple, exciting experiment or two using everyday household items to explain the underlying science and put learning into action. Understand the Titanic’s demise by sinking an ice-cube-tray ocean liner in the bathtub. Stomp on a tube of toothpaste to demonstrate what happens to non-Newtonian fluids under pressure—and how a ruptured tank sent a tsunami of molasses through the streets of Boston in 1919. From why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans to the fatal design flaw in the Sherman tank, here’s a book of science at its most riveting.
